Burden Falls on Farmer.


When the county contains no pros
porous and wealthy towns, the greater
part of the burden OF taxation for the
county falls upon the farmer. The
value of the farmers property does not
fall in proportion TO the value of the
property in the town and the higher
tax levy that results from the lower
property values in the towns makes
his taxes higher.
The farmer forgets at times that he
is vitally interested in the prosperity
of his town." He thinks that it is up
TO the town to take care of itself and
that 1t is up to him TO take care OF
himself and he oyerlooks that fact that
the prosperity Of the town means a.
much to him as it does TO those who
live in il. The farmer who is inclined
TO overlook this fact has only to think
of the matter of taxes and he is likely

are one thing that neither he nor any
one else can escape, and they are one
thing In which the farmer ordinarily
takes very lively interest.
How Farmer Can Help.
There is just one way in which The
farmer can best promote prosperity il
| the town near which he lives and tha
is by spending his money in that tow
instead Of sending it away to the far
distant city. Every time the farmel
sends an order TO q mail order hous,
he helps to destroy the prosperity o
his own community and to boost hi!
own taxes. When he sends a dollaI
away from home he gets none Of i
back. When he spends dollar a
home, a part of that dollar comes bacl
to him in some way. 1t helps the towI
where it is spent TO provide q profit
able market for his products and /
helps the town pay large part of hi
taxes.

M'Mullin Freed.
Then Arrested
AS a Fugitive
Jury Acquits Prohibition
Agent Who Was Charged
With Killing Chauffeur
i'm Dry Raid Last March
Detectives Wait Outside
Held in Tombs Pending
Information From the
Indiana State Prison

Stewart N. McMullin. prohibition en-
forcement agent, who was charged
with killing Harry Carlton. chauffeur
in a liquor raid last March, was ac-
quilted yesterday of the murder charge
in the Federal Court.
He was arrested later by Detective
Barton Williams, of tn. District At
torney's Office, on warrant signed by
r. J. Fogerty, warden of the Indiana
State Prison, charging McMullin with
being fugitive from justice and hav-
ing violated his parole from that in
stiution.
Detectives were waiting to rearrest
McMullin when the verdict Of not
guilty was presented to Judge Mayer.
They could not, however, place him
under arrest in the Federal Building,
even after he had reported to the
United States marshal and had been
discharged from custody.
McMullin went to the Office of Ben
Matthews, Assistant United States At
torney, and stayed there. The detec~
tives were ordered out of Mr.. Mat
thews's Office and told they could not
arrest him on the premises. So they
stood outside Mr.. Matthews's office
the Jury filed in. After their verdict
he maintained his composure until he
was closeted in Mr.. Matthews's office;
then he broke down and cried.
State Senator James J. Walker, Nc
Mullins counsel, arrived about $3.50
o'clock. After comforting with his
lawyer, McMullin left the building and
was arrested. He was taken before
Chief Magistrate McAdoo in the Tombs
Court.
Senator Walker explained that Nc
Mullin was arrested in July, 1908, in
Indiana on charge of petty larceny
for forging check for $40. On that
charge he was sentenced to from one
TO eight years. He served four years
and five months and was then paroled.
He came to New York in 1912 and was
imprisoned for robbery.
Magistrate McAdoo said that it
seemed strange that there had been
nc request for McMullin's extraditon
before this, when the warrant was
issued last April. He told the District
Attorney to communicate with the In
tlana OFFICIALS and have them forward
documentary evidence, as that now in
the possession of the District Attorney
was insufficient. He said that if this
evidence, were not produced by noon
to-day he would free McMulin. In
the mean time McMullin was sent to
the Tombs
Mr.. Joyce was asked if the Federal
authorities could prosecute McMullin
for perjuring himself by making al
legged false Settlements on his applica-
ton to the Prohibition Department
he said no; that these statements were
not made under oath

$685. 600 Liquor Seized
I'm Mott Street District

Federal prohibition agents descended
on a store at 1873 Mott Street last night
and seized Intoxicating liquors valued
at S1250O0. In the lot were fifty cases
of bonded whiskey. After the seizure
a warrant Of arrest was issued for E.
Musco, proprietor and owner of the
place, charging him with illegal sale
of liquor.
This was said by John Quigley, As
sistant Prohibition Supervisor, to be
the largest conhscation made in the
Mott Street district Musco has a
wholesalers permit to sell liquor for
medicinal purposes and is under bond
of 100000
Shortly after the Mott Street raid
five cafes in Manhattan were visited by
enforcement agents. Four proprietors
and three bartenders were arrested on
charges of illegally selling liquor In
Brooklyn, the chauffeur of a motor
truck was arrested on charge Of
transporting twenty-four cases Of liquor
in violation of law.
All will be arraigned to-day before
United States Commissioner Hitchcock.

Bedtime Stories
Buster Bear is Still Wondering
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Wig is it that the atnIno1Cn scares?
Ts quite true of men as bears.
Buster Bear.
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Who hit Buster Bear? Buster has
tried his best to find out, but to this
day IT has been mystery. He has
wondered and wondered about it, and
he is still wondering. just thinking
of it gives him an uncomfortable feel
ing. For q while after it happened he
was almost afraid to go out nights.
Yes, sir, he was. He didn't know what
he was afraid of. and that is why he
was afraid. The same thing might
happen over again, and he hadn't any
idea how to guard against it. 1T was
all very, very mysterious, and this
made Buster nervous. For day or
two he was so nervous that he would
jump at the faintest rustic of leaf
stirred up by dancing Merry Little
Breeze
The day after he was hit Buster
Bear turned his head to look behind
hlm so often that his neck became
lame. Every few minutes around would
60 his head, with such a suspicious
look IN his eyes, as if he expected to
hnd an enemy right at his heels OF
course, there never was any one there.
III was rellef, yet after while Buster
almost wished he would find some one
there. 1t would be great deal easier
10 face an enemy he could see than to
1eei all the time that there might be
one he couldn't see just behind him.
1t all came about in this way: Just
at dusk that evening Buster Bear had
gone down to the Laughing Brook for
drink. AS he approached a little
pool one of Grandfather Frogs grand
children, lively young frog, who was
somewhat more than half grown, had
diveo mead first into the water, Buster
saw MN. In fact, that frog had jumped
from almost under Busters nose.
Now, Buster Bear has a liking for
young frogs. They have furnished him
more than one good dinner. So as
Buster got his drink he kept his ewes
on the spot in the middle of the little
pool where that young frog had stirred
Up the mud at the bottom as he buried
himself in it.
THAT silly young frog is bound to
come out by and by muttered Buster.
For while he'll keep himself buried
where he can't see thing, and then
he'll think all is safe and he'll swim up
and poke his goggly eyes above water
for look around. If he sees and
hears nothing suspicious he'll swim
right back here where he jumped from.
As ! have nothing in particular to do,
will just wait TO receive him. a
nice, plump frog will taste good"
SO Buster settled himself comfort.

Orders Cancelled
By Retailers Have
Imperiled Trade
Loss This Year Estimated at
500, 900, 600; Consumer
Must Carry Burden of
Prices, Say Credit Men

Representative business men. at a
meeting of the Forum Of the New York
Credit Mems Association at the Hotel
Astor last night, asserted that the
wholesale cancellation of orders by re-
tailers has reached such proportions
that it has become a menace to the
business of the nation
The condition, they said, had already
resulted in large number Of failures
among wholesalers and jobbers all over
the country, while many mills have
been forced to close their doors be-
cause of the refusal Of houses to &C
cept goods which they had ordered.
Loss this year due to the Reputation
Of orders by retailers has been esti-
mated at more than $100,000,00O, all of
which, say the credit men, will eventu-
ally have to be borne by the consume r
in the way Of higher prices.
H. C. Bainbridge jr, president of the
association, and E. W. McCulloch, of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, declared that the can
cellations are due to overstocking on
the part of the retailer, the declining
business following the armistice, high
prices and the fear that the public
would not ontlnue to buy a. these
prices. The position, however, is taken
that the retailer should bear portion
Of the burden of his bad business him
self and must not pass the buck to the
manufacturer.
To check the growing practice, the
credit men were urged to cooperate
in forcing the retailer to abide by his
contract, if necessary hereafter TO force
dealers to order BIZ formal contract
Credit men we've advised to dea
cautiously with South American firms
at this time by E. F. Gaudineer, OF
the Irving National Bank, because OF
the unsettled financial conditions il
those countries.

ing about $1,000, had been removed
through the front door of the drug
store in his absence. There were
freshly made automobile tracks at the
