In America we all enjoy the priv
ledge of bowling about our axe
And yet we get more real value re-
ceived from the mony paid out in
taxes than for anything else we buy
these days. If we were to divide our
taxes into twelve equal installments
and consider each installment a
months rent for living in the best
country in the world, we would have
to admit the price is fair enough. Get
a line on the residents of some other
country-Belgium, France, Italy, Eng
land, for instance, and ask them what
they would be willing to pay for the
opportunities, the Injuries, the
splendid schools, the churches and all
the wonderful advantages which this
government freely affords to all hon
est, Industrious citizens. Kicking on
high taxes is more a habit than any
thing else. When we stop to think of
the returns we get from the taxes
paid we have no kick coming.
We would like to see the tax levy
in Kendrick raised next year from Is
mills to 25 mills. Of course a howl
would go up, but the money raised by
increased taxation would afford i'm
proved conditions in the town that
would be well worth the slight in
crease in taxes. A 10 mi. town these
days is getting ready for the dis
card; a 10 mill town is just holding
its own; a 20 mill town is in a fairly
prosperous condition, but a 25 mill
town is booming.

Labor unions have increased
wages, shortened hours, and done
many useful and beautiful things.
But when labor unions attempt to
dictate the amouont of output, de-
eide on who shall advance and who
shall not; declare what work shall
be done and what not; insist that
you shall join a union or else be
deprived of the right to work, they
have ceased to give an equitable
return. When brick-bats take the
place of reason, and the Walking
Delegate says, carry a union card
or take out an accident policy"
then things have gone so far that
in self-protection the union must
be temporarily laid low with a
link-pin.-Elbert Hubbard.

Chronic Constipation

There are people who never; have
a movement of the bowels without

of them have brought that condition
on themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong c%athartics that
take too much water out of the
system and %aggravate the disease
they are meant to relieve. A mild
laxative tonic like Chamberlaln's
Tablets affords a gentle movement
of the bowels that you hardly real

RURAL ROADS NOT IMPROVED
Not More Than One-Fourth of I Per
Cent of Nations Roads Suitable
for Motor Traffic.

Official figures show that there are
In the United States approximately .
100000 miles of rural roads of which
II per cent are classed as improved.
Road engineers, however, estimate that
no more than one-fourth of l per cent
of the nations roads are suitable for
motortruck traffic. More than 6,OOO,-
700 motor vehicles are now using the
highways. and of this number about
100000 are trucks varying from less
than a ton capacity to vehicles capa-
bic of hauling five to seventeen loads.
The most conspicuous example of
anything approaching the efficiency of
a national thOroughfare in the United
States is the Lincoln highway. Or
ganized as a private enterprise six
years ago, to stimulate good-road
building, the officers of the association
have raised several million dollars by
private subscription and have stimu-
lated the improvement of many Sec
lions of the highway by the states and
counties through which it passes.

Children are an asset to the extent
of 5000 apiece at income tax-paying-
time. The more children you have
the less tax you have to pay, which is
one way of saving money. One
farmer with six children and another
with seven, had a local banker figure
W their years earnings, losses, net
profits, etc. Both of them were elig-
ible, apparently, to pay a fairly sub
stantial income tax, but when it came
to giving a list of thier children it
was found that the government owed
them money.

Whjstlino for Wind.

Everybody is familiar with the old
superstition of sailors that, to bring
a favorable breeze, they must whistle
during the calm. From the remotest
times there seems to have prevailed
a belief that libation or sacrifice would
placate the storm spirits and induce
them to permit the vesesl to proceed
unmOlested on it's course. Russian
sailors have been known to pour oat-
meal and water owe a rocky promon-
tory in order to obtain a wind favor
able to their designs.

ures look less favorable by giving the
