SEEKS FARMERS SUGGESTIONS.

In seeking solutions for present-day
problems In which agricultural inter-
ests Of this country are vitality inter.
ested. 1t is the desire Of the United
secure cooperation and frank sugges-
tons from any and all organizations
directly concerned with farm progress,
declared Edwin T. Meredith, secretary
Of agriculture, addressing a delega-
ton of 100 farmers who called at the
department representing the National
Board of Farm Organizations, in ses-
sion in Washington. 1.-THE industries
which this department is designed to
serve are of tremendous magnitude.
and there is no one, believe, who APP
preciates this more keenly than the
secretary of agriculture" said Mr..
Meredith. eff we are to serve the
farmers Of this country, and through
them the nation as a whole, they must
have contact with the department and
the department with them. Therefore,
am speaking no idle phrase when I
say that want the suggestions
which you men and others can give.
Frank. honest criticism will be glad
ly received also. 1t Is by such con-
tact Of mind with mind that the best
results will be obtained. l want you
men to know that whenever you come
to this department with suggestions
or requests for help we will do all in
our power to serve you"

VILLAGE GOSSIP

Types made us say the other day

happy generally.

Humoresque Signs.
Visitors to the Breibys were amused
at the little card pinned over the front
door bell reading: 'The bell is on the
blink. Bang at the window, but don't
break it." 1t is needless to add who is
the author of this announcement. Or
rim Breiby also has bird house in a
tree which bears the sign, mo spar
rows allowed" And, strange to say,
no sparrOwS have as yet rented the
place. Bluebirds were the tenants last
year, and this year the wrens took pos
session. AS Orrin is Single Taxer,
he has not raised the rent, but makes
the birds pay land tax by keeping
the garden free of insects.

Single Tax Wisdom.
The number of followers of the Sim
gle Tax in Palisade is rapidly growing.
1t required but a little conscientious
thought on the subject for thinking
men to realize that the principles of
Single Tax are the only way to cure
our many "crazy-quilt taxation laws"
1t is to be hoped that the entire bor-
ough of Fort Lee will vote for Single
Tax No better illustration of the way
it works can be found than in our
town. The vast tract of idle land be-
tween Palisade proper and Fort Lee is
now taxed from $40 to $25 lot, de-
pending on location. Taxes on i'm
proved land-stores, studios, factories,
etc-runs from 500 to $500 and more.
We are paying from 500 to $500 for
residences. Now, then, by merely add
ing the nominal sum of 50 or So for
each lot the amount of increased taxes
from this source will be sufficient to
reduce the tax on houses SO to IS per
cent. Think it over.

optimistic and that the local club has
the same possibilities In winning the
race as the Southern crews. The skip
