You Tax Yourself.

We met an old philosopher in the
postffice the other day. One of those
rare specimens of advanced age who
has mellowed with the years and
who, though his hair is white and
his face lined with the marks left by
the cares of life, still smiles and has
cheerful word upon all occasions.
He stood for few momens listening
to couple of our chronic kickers
complaining about the income tax,
the war Indebtedness, the high cost
of living and wondering where folks
were to get all the money to meet
all the burdens imposed by the war.
Boys" said the smiling old phi
losopher, II reckon part of what you
said is true. Our taxes will be heavy.
But did you ever stop to think that
the least of our burdens is the gov
eminent taxes and that what we got
out of the war was worth all it cost
us? Our real taxes are the ones we
impose upon ourselves. We are taxed
heavily by idleness and pride Try
" hCCp up Will OOnlC IL L
acquaintance or eXtravagant neigh
Dor is a tax. Then a lot of young
people are heavily taxed by folly and
dissipation. The money we throw
away each year will more than pay
the income tax. These taxes cannot
be abated by the Government. You
got to do it yourself. So far as can
see there is still plenty of work and
wages are good. I reckon it will al
ways be as it always has been. The
thrifty, industrious fellow will get
along and the shiftless, extravagant
cuss will be renewing his notes."
The chronic GROWERS just natur
ally faded away as the old philoso-
pher stopped to open his lock box.

Why?

It happened last winter in a store
in our town-the town we have
boosted as being the finest town in
the country in which to raise chill
dren.
She was dear, quaint little thing,
and had wandered away from her
mother to investigate more thor
c-l~nly a muff lady was carrying.
Cus little hand stroke the fur so
soEtly, and the smile on her face
deenened, showing a dimple in her
cheek. Suddenly the fur was jerked
away with muttered something
about ssmeddlesome kids and careless
mothers" The baby didn't under
stand the meaning of the words, but
her feelings had been hurt, and she
shrank back, lips quivering, and even
mothers arms around her couldn't
keep the tears back.

RAISING THE DOUGH WITH SAL.
WALTON ARMY DOUGHNUTS

The doughnut that made the
doughboy happy and was so widely
and generously distributed to our
boys lover there" by the Salvation
Army, has been prominently featured
by that organization in the great ma
tional drive to raise funds to con-
tinue over here their great work in
the cause of humanity.
In the great drive in New City,
doughnuts were sold by the Saliva
ton Army by the thousands at one
dollar apiece. The Royal Baking
Powder Company contributed to the
Salvation Army large quantity of
their famous product, which not
only raised the dough in the dough-
nuts, but went long way in help
ing to raise the dough" for the fund.
This famous doughnut is shaped
like life preserver and was no doubt
regarded as such on many occasions
by our men in the battle line beyond
the reach of rations. The soldiers
have sung its praise so much that the
recipe for making four dozen of the
kind of doughnuts that helped win
the war is given here for the benefit
of our readers.
Five cups of flour, two cups of SUI
gar, five teaspoonfuls of Royal Bak-
ing Powder, one saItspoonful of salt,
two eggs, one and three quarter cups
of milk and one tablespoonful of lard.

I'm reply to your letter of June 4,
1914" In these words a German
firm begins a business communica-
ton to a New York firm which in
outlook and sentiment seems to
crystalize the German mentality. 1t
is unmatchable in it's superb bland
ness and in cold-blooded Teutonic
efficiency. Certain little matters

Office system Zone can almost hear

plantations are surely unnecessary.
Perhaps the chief correspondence
clerk exchanged the pen for the bay

cross-bones tunic of the U-boat
pirate or maybe the chief collector

tions were heavy. But all this is
now passed and we must get back to
business. Zach. Hans! How the
correspondence has been neglected
Let us at once a beginning make. :"
That there should be any prejudice

SUGGESTION TO SHIPPERS OF
HOGS DURING HEATED SEASON

1 desire to call your attention to
the suggestion from Mr.. o. B. Liv-
ingston, of Madisonville, Kentucky,
as to how he has been able to reduce
shrinkage in hogs when shipping
during hot weather. He stated:
Three times during the heated term
of this summer, in car load lots, I
have reduced the shrinkage at least
SO per cent. by the simple expedient
of placing in each car with the hogs,
three 100-pound cakes of ice, upon
the floor of the car at equal inter
walls. This ice costs soc per 100
pounds, and $40 to $50 per car can
be-~saved by its use in preventing
shrinkage in the weight of hogs"
Try this simple suggestion for
what it is worth. 1t may save you
many dollars.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

More Than Our Share.

Every town is pestered by the hair
Drained chatter of the irresponsible,

Paris has more than its share OF these
malicious babblers. Why oh why, will
people spend their time in saying un-
kind and untrue things about their

is immune from these assassins OF
character.
We know a little group that are
very intimate. When they are to-
gether you would think the world
was all peaches and cream, but when
they break UP into couples the little
hammers are set going and they
knock each other like lot of rival
candidates. If Mrs. Brown only
knew what Mrs. Smith said about her
no Mrs. Jones they would never speak
TO each other again. Yet, when Mrs.
Brown and Mrs. Smith meet they put
their arms about each other and play
havoc with Mrs. Jones reputation.
And so it goes. Meanness, nastiness,
injustice and jealousy, knocked about
the neighborhood and the village un-
til one grows sick at the unkindness
of human nature.
There is nothing in small town

Good Scheme For The Germans.

The report Of the Special Commit
tee on Government Ownership and
Operation of Public Utilities recent
ly made by committee of members
for the Merchants Association of
New York, contains a lot of refresh.
| ing innovations in the arguments
against this kind of a program for
use in the United States. But that
the Germans, with their peculiar
"kultur" were fairly successful with
government ownership" and opera
ton, appears to be admitted. The
reason, whyfore, are given, and the
following is an extract from the re-
port:
'It is true that government opera
ton of public utilities was measure
bly, successful in Germany. But the
reason which, under the German sys-
tenn and being given the mentality
and traditions of the German people,
made it fairly successful in that
country, are the reasons why under
our form of government, and with
the spirit and traditions of the
American people, government owner
ship or operation would be bound to
prove a failure and a grave social
and economic detriment to the
country"
In another part OF the report we
find this statement: 1.-The financial
success of the Prussian railroads is
due to high rates, which average
about tiwce those Of American rail-
roads, despite the fact that the
Prussian roads pay practically no
taxes and that American wages are
double those of Prussia. Moreover,
the operating costs Of the Prussian
roads are seriously and wastefully
swelled in the item Of labor costs, by
the excessive number of employees;
where American railroads employ
one hundred men, the Prussians en-
ploy approximately one hundred and
sixty-six-an excess common every
where under state operation"

Because the present supply of pub
lie health nurses is too small to sup
ply the demand throughout the coun-
try, the Red Cross has appropriated
slice, 600 for scholarships and $4,000
for loans to assist nurses who want
to take postgraduate courses, fitting
themselves for this work. The fund
is administered by the department of
nursing of the American Red Cross.
Don't forget to see Red Cross films
when they come to your local thea
tire. They win show you how the
Red Cross is still at work at home
and abroad, taking care of people
who happen to be suffering through
no fault of their own.
To give Individual attention to
each child who has suffered from the
war is one of the greatest tasks of
the American Red Cross in Europe.
Fortunately, the Red Cross Stands
by'-and its most potent instrument
is love. To France, Belgium and the
Near East clothing and comforts are
being sent. In the Archangel dis
trict 10000 children are being serv-
ed hot, nourishing meals at noon each
day.
Rumors that the American Red
Cross was to demobilize it's organiza-
ton in France and to leave that
country at once has been denied in a
statement issued by eut.-Colonel
George H. Burr, Red Cross commits
sioner from France, who says:
For the relief of suffering and
restitution existing in various parts
of Europe, the American Red Cross
is re-adjusting it's organization so
that the main effort in Europe NAV
well be concentrated in it's primary
capacity as a relief organization.
