ALL A MISTAKE; NO 1O-CENT
TAX ON CHICKENS.

Many farmers throughout the
State, and particularly their wives,
have been LED into the belief that
the last Legislature placed tax of
10 cents on each chicken. The law
passed at the last session, as a mat
ter of fact, practically eXempts
chickens from taxation altogether.
1t provides that no tax shall be paid
on the first twenty-five chickens
owned by each family, and that on
all over twenty-five the tax shall be
10 cents for each one hundred dol
lars worth of chickens-nOt 10 cents
on each chicken.
The real purpose of the law is to
exempt chickens from taxation alto
gether and to prevent the house
holders from being required to list
their chickens for taxation.

TIRlNG OF SIMS.

The American people are growing
weary of the scolding which Admiral
Sims and few other malcontent
officers of iligh rank are giving the
American Navy. The gentlemen
have now been testifying at frequent
intervals for something like two
months, and even the Republican
newspapers have taken them off the
first page.
The truth is, that it is part of the
Republican program to break down
and discredit if they can, every
thing America did in the war. The
war was won under Woodrow Will
son, and, therefore, in their partisan
minds. nothing was done right.

OUR FRIEND, THE PRESS AGENT

Thanks to the war we have with
us more than ever the press agent.
A press agent may be defined as a
newspaper man who has left his pro.
fession in order to make more money
composing stuff that makes life, mis-
cradle for his former associates in
editorial offices.
Press agents were made during
the war along with newly made mil
lionaires, and now their tribe is in
creasing even faster than the mil
lionaires. Newspapers were found
to be such easy suckers that a new
press agent is made every minute to
use UP valuable space from the un-
suspecting publishers.
1t must be great to be a press
agent Instead of having to button
his overcoat around his neck these
cold days, grab handful of copy
paper and venture into the streets
in search of news, the press agent
now sits behind a typewriter in a
comfortable office and turns out
copy from bulletins and reports sent
him from the Office of the third
assistant secretary to the fourth
vice-president of the company he
represents or takes notes from a
conversation with the secretary Of
the company he works for. Nice
job, Ell?
There are divers kinds of press
agents, but the gents may be divided
into two classes-those who work
for corporation and those who are
employed by some movement. d."
Nearly all the rubber companies,
banks, trust companies, and rail
road corporations employ men to
prepare copy explaining the growth,
development and policies of their
various organizations. This copy,
needless to say, is nothing less than
advertising, and publisher who
prints it is as bad a business man
as the shoe dealer who takes a pair
of shoes from his shelf and pre-
sents them to stakeholder in an
oil company.
The second class of press agents
represent some movement which
aims to the upbuilding of something
or other, securing the independence
of some little nation or obtaining
special privileges for the Society
For the Prevention of Something
or Other" Copy prepared by these
press agents is. if not advertising,
pure and simple propaganda, and
the publisher who cares more about
securing concessions for the Hot
tenots, lowering the duty Oh rub
Der heels to Armenia, or helping the
Republican party to success so that
all the politicians can get more pie,
is not a business man, to cay the
least
Press agents, like all other fads,
may Gle off some day-perhaps, not
until Ireland gets home rule, the
Goodstone Rubber Company gets
rich, and home is provided for
rheumatic ukelele players. But un-
til then we will probably have with
us the press agent, and will have to
tolerate him with every incoming
mail The only solution that pub
fishers have is that the reverse side
of their copy makes excellent scratch
paper in this reign of King H. c. l..

CAUGHT WITH TIE GOODS ON
HIM.

For some months past, L. c. Wal
ter who operates a store at kable-
town, and B, F. Langdon, at Myers
town had been missing merchandise
from their stocks. Neither could ac-
count for it. At last Mr.. Langdon
cocluded the thief was entering his
store by using key that unlocked
the door. A plan was at once laid
to trap him. The front door was
connected with an electric bell IN a
bed room of the Langdon home and
another one in a room occupied by
Mr.. Grubb, the manager OF tn estore.
Everything was quiet for few
nights. On the night of December
II, after all were snugly tucked IN
bed. the alarm bells in the two rooms
began to ring. Chas. r. Langdon
and All Grub responded by going to
the store. Finding the front door
open they waited on the outside for
the intruder with all the inerimiEat-
ing evidence on him to come out.
They had only little while to wait.
Joseph Newman who lives at Myers
town proved to be the visitor. A
sack he carried contained a nice as
sortment of merchandise including
some oranges. There being no or
anges in the Langdon store, he was
questioned about hem. Newman
then confessed that he had gotten
the fruit in the Walters store at
Kabletown before visiting the
Myerstown store. Deputy Sheriff
Alder and Constable James A.
Smith went out to Myerstown the
next day and brought Newman to
iail. The prisoner has wife and
three children.

HIGH PRICE OF OIL TO GAS
COMPARISON.

In the very recent statement by r.
L. WEIGH, General Counsel and Sec
rotary OF the American Petroleum
institute, that direct competition
between he automobile and the
kitchen gas stove is the real cause for
the present high price of oil to the
companies of the country, is seen an
emphatic answer to the belief of
some of the public that the prices of
gas-making materials are going to
hollow the general downward price
trend.
Further proof that oil is not going
back to anything like prewar costs is
to be found also in Mr.. Welch's as
sertion that the number of automo-
biles will increase during 1921 from
8 100000 in use now to an approx
mate 100000 by January 1922,
and that in a very short time there
will be a public demand for at least
one billion barrels of ! oil annually
| This amounts in round numbers to
about forty-one billion gallons, and
it is declared that this enormous total
will find quick market absorption
at high prices because of the tremen-
dous growth in the automotive in
dustry.
To meet this condition, Mr.. WEIGH
says, gas companies should be per-
mitted to charge rates that will per-
nit them to go into the open market
and buy oil in competition with the
man who needs it for his gasoline
demand. In other words, it must be
bought in competition with the auto
mobile, the truck and the tractor.
Mr.. Welch also makes the point
that while regulation of an industry
may be beneficial, it should get for
the consumer that which the consum-
err needs, and asserts that too fire.
guently too much time is about try
ing to protect property which would
be more proftably employed in find
ing ways to increase service.
AS servants of the public, Mr..
Weleh declares, gas companies can
demand degree of recognition not
allowed to industries in general. In
vestors must be considered, he says,
else they will not supply capital for
gas company uses unless it brings
more than simple interest.
