In nearly every case, the tax rate
has almost doubled during the past
year, and If this were to continue the
rate could double in another year
without the cause being due to con-
solidation. Let us presume that the
rate of increase is only a half more
than this years rate. In this case
one years tax rate for Knop would be
about 20 mills, for Cedar Valley II
mills, for Alton IL mills, for Deer
Lake 80 mills, for Pleasant Valley "a
mills, and for Slaughter school IL
mills.

Sweetness Of Revenge.

Timothy Brown was commercial
traveller and a valuable asset to his
employers.
On one of his periodical rounds he
included in his list of calls a certain
yarn merchant, Jonas Perkins by name
"a crotchety, ill-natured individual
who Invariably treated Timothy with
the greatest of discourtesy, and who
on more than one occasion had torn
his card up in his presence and
thrown 1t on the floor. AS becomes a
good commercial traveller, however,
Timothy was undaunted and vowed to
be revenged.
In due course he called on his friend
again and presented his card.
"Halloa !" shouted old Perkins CIV

self with yell of pain, accompanied
by miniature war dance.
Timothy's card was made of enam-

INTEREST BEARING NOTE
1000 YEARS OLD FOUND

Philadelphia, Aug. Am unpaid
note for four shekels in silver bearing
40 per cent annual interest for nearly
1000 years recently was found among
the clay tablets at the University of
Pennsylvania Museum by DR.. Leon
Legrain. The note was given by
man named Bur-Mama to II Sim
nutum in October, 1862 b. c., the
"year in which King Rim-Sin oc-
cupied the town of Dur-Damigilisha."
There were four witnesses to the
note. Instead of signatures the wit
nesses placed their seals on the docu-
ment and were not liable for payment
unless it was shown they knew the
character of Bur-Mama was bad when
they swore 1t was good.
Altho comparisons are difficult
DR.. Legrain said, a sheckel of silver
at the time the note was made was
equal to about 500 at the present
time.

EARTHQUAKES IN U. S.

Ordinarily there are from 1919 to
200 earthquakes annually in the Unit
ed States but in 1919 there were only
81, according to a bulletin of the de-
partment of agriculture. Most of the
quakes occurred on the Pacific coast
where slight earth tremors are COM
monplace. There were 20 quakes in
the region embraced in southern Illi-
nois and Indiana, western Kentucky
and Tennessee. There was one in

SAwDUsT

1t is a very unpleasant sensation
to have sawdust thrown into your
eyes, isn't 1t. Few of US sail TO re-
member that oft-told story of the he
TO who foiled the william by resorting
to that bit of strategy.
Every American citizen today is
lodging a binding storm of sawdust,
in the form of propaganda thrown to
the four winds by clique Of politi-
cal manipulators seeking to hide the
shortcomings of a party and an adj
ministration that need to be brought
to an accounting.
These Democratic false witnesses
are playing a game. They believe 1t
will succeed. They are ready to car
ry 1t to the limit. 1t is their partys
trump card. 1t is this: They are go
ing 20 try to blind the pubic to the
true issues of today in this country.
They have tackled down the black
cover of propaganda upon the record
of an administration that is defunct.
They have constructed great shields
of empty promises and future good
intentions to hold back the winds of
public wrath which are certain to
blow.
Bring them to face truly great is
sue, and they dodge. They prefer
to Jump nimbly from one thing to an
other, circle around subject after sub
ject and lead their interrogators a
merry chase ending at the same place
they started-only farther away.
Today's need is for men who will
face the issue and meet it; men who
will restore to our government its
natural functioning processes, who
will level power with reason, take
away departmental and executive au-
tocracy and bring back sane balanc-
ing of authority.
The Democratic dictatorship would
seek to hide this need. Brought to
its knees in the face of defeat upon
one issue, it brings forth another on
ly to be humbled again and bring
forth third. Theirs is a system of
pussy-footing to an artistic degree.
Desperate. they are clutcli"e st ;he
last straw. They are scattering saw
dust.
But the public has had experience.
1t demands that the Democratic par
ty and its henchmen-in-office stand
trial.
The issue is: Does America want
dynasty or a Democracy?
There is an issue the Democratic
party cannot straddle.

GUN IN AIRPLANE

A gun to fire through the propel-
Ter shaft of airplanes was designed by
American engineers to be used by the
u. S. army in the late war. Like sew
eral other valuable wartime inven-
lions, however, it was not developed
to practical stage in time to be us
ed in actual combat. The guns jack
ct fits inside the shaft of the propel-
Ter. The gun which has a bore of
one and a half inches hurls its armor-
piercing projectiles right through the
shaft.

A "sOLAR COOKER"

The latest of the numerous devices
that have been produced to concen-
trate and utilize the suns heat is a
"solar cooker" that is being develop
ed by scientists at the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington. Mirrors
arranged about half-cylinder of iron
concentrate the suns rays on a metal
tube that comedies with the axis Of
the half-cylinder. Oil in the tube is
thus heated and made to circulate
through It and a loop to which 1t is
connected. The loop which passes
through an oven heats 1t sufficiently
for cooking when the sun shines.

arbitration agreement.

1t is learned here that Japan was
approached by the United States con-
corning the signing of similar agree
ment. viscount Kato, who was
foreign minister, expressed Japan
desire for permanent peace with the
United States but the Japanese gov
eminent has never followed up the
official suggestion of the United
States government to arrange trea-
ty.
One treaty concerning arbitration
already exists between Japan and the
United States. 1t was signed in 1908
renewed in 1913 and in 1918 was ex-
tended to 1928. This agreement re-
fers only to differences which may
arise of a legal nature or relating to
the Interpretation of treaties existing
between the contracting parties. Such
matters are to be submitted to the
permanent Hague tribunal.
In the course of the interview
above referred to, Viscount Kato ad-
mitted he could name no specific OBJ
ject to be accomplished by the renew
al of the Angla-Japanese alliance, but
he thought it's renewal would be an
act of prudence on the part of both
nations.
1T has been in existence for TWEEN
ty years." he said, land it has been
useful for both countries. If it is not
renewed, the position will not be the
same as if it had never been made.
The tendency will be for the two
countries to drift apart"

JAPANESE DIPLOMAT
WOULD renew PACT
To Block England From Any
Row With u. S. Is
Desire

Toxic, July 2-Viscount Kato, for
merly ambassador to England, in a
recent interview declared that altho
the arbitration treaty between Eng
land and the United States was not
ratified by the Senate and the result
aimed at unaccomplished, that it was
Japan who proposed the insertion of
clause in the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance which would remove the risk of
England's becoming involved in any
dispute between the United States and
Japan.
The clause referred to is Article vi
of the alliance which provides that,
should either party conclude a treaty
of general arbitration with third
power, it is agreed that nothing in
the agreement should impose an OBJ
legation to go to war with the power
with whom such an arbitration trea-
ty is in force.
Diplomats Differ.
A difference of opinion appears to
exist in Toxic diplomatic circles as
to the actual scope of the British
American arbitration treaty. The
treaty actually in force is the So
called Bryan treaty which was signed
in 1914. It's aim is to advance the
cause Of general peace and it provides
that all disputes of every nature shall
be referred to a permanent arbitra-
ton commission which has at least
year to study the dispute at issue.
The parties reserve the right to act
independently on the subject matter
of the dispute after the report has
been submitted but agreed not to en-
gage in hostilities before the commits
sion has made its report.
The Bryan treaty was to continue
for five years but remains in force I'M
Ill twelve months after one of the
contracting parties has given notice
of an intention to terminate it. Unless
renounced, the treaty is, therefore,
without limit of duration. Americans
pparently regard this as a permanent
