REDUCED TAXES ONE
THIRD.

A candidate who has shown
ability as well as desire to re-
duce taxation has an extra good
claim upon the attention of the
American public in these days.
1t seems that reforms brought
about in Illinois through the eff
forts of Governor Lowden have
reduced taxation in that State
without impairing the eff
cheney of the public machine
ry. In the last three years, ac-
cording to the chairman of the
Lowden campaign committee,
Governor Lowden ''has reduced
the taxes of Illionis 100000,
or o%ne-third." Therefore to-day
he stands forth as only man in
the United States who has DEM
o~nstrated the ability to reduce
taxes in war times, and at the
same time, make every neces-
sary expenditure to help win the
greatest war in history"
This is a very great achieve
ment-granting that there is no
mistake about it and nc exagger-
alton in the telling. If Govern
or Lowden has done this, no
wonder the Republicans of Hi
nois want to see him made Pres
ident, believing that he "can ma
terially reduce the taxes of the
Federal government, and bring
about a reorganization of the Fe-
deral government machine, anti
quated as it is, which will make
an enormous permanent saving
to the taxpayers of the United
States" Since 1918 the Repub-
lican majority in the two houses
of Congress have shown the lack
of a leader of the type Of Gov
ernor Lowden. Admittedly the
job of bringing expenditures
back to the normal peace basis
is a big one, but it was and is
not impossible of achievement.
If this story of what Governor
Lowden has done in Illinois can
be spread with convincing evid-
ence of it's truth, he seems likely
to acquire a much stronger pull
with the public than any other
Republican candidate in the
field.

KY. WAGON MINES
FILING PROTEST

Corbin, KY, Sept. 4.-Wagon mine
operators of the Eleventh Congress
sional District met here for a confer
ence today and decided to send com
mittee to Washington September 8
to pnotest the Interstate Commerce
Commissions orders Nos 9 and 4
restricting the use of opentop cars TO
coal mines not equipped with modern
loading facilities. The operators
said they represented 1900 wagon
mines. in the district, a capital invest
ment of approximately $1,000, 600,
employ $1,000 workers and have a
daily output of. $1,000 tons of coal.
II the orders are enforced 1t was
said, at least 10000 men will be
thrown out of employment, produc-
tion materially cut down and that the
consequent scarcity of coal would
send prices skyward
The conference adopted resolutions
calling upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission to set aside the orders
complained of, not to discriminate
against small mines and to furnish a
just quota of cars not only in Eastern
Kentucky fields, but to the $500
wagon mines now doing business in
the United States. All operators, Il
is commended, should be placed on an
equal footing in the allotment Of cars.
1t was emphatically denied that
there is undue delay in loading or
that wagon mines are guilty of the
practice of holding up cars. Use of
boxcar equipment as provided in the
order makes coal hard to market. the
operators assert. The price the coal
brings is less than when shipped in
open-top cars.
Another angle on the controversy
is that banks financing the wagon
mines Will be hard hit if the order
holds.
1t is further pointed out that lums
Der concerns in the district are fur
nished coal cars on which to load
lumber, and this alleged discrimins
tion will be complained of by the
committee.

THE METHODS OF PRoFITEERING

Raising the prices of goods on ac-
count of the increased freight rates
is a process that doesn't hold water.
According to the statement of one of
the big railroad companies, flour
shipped in carload lots. from Minnea-
polls to Philadelphia on which the
forty per cent increase is paid. will
amount to 33 cents a barrel of 200
pounds. On 24-pound sack of flour
this will be just little less than four
cents. The increased freight on a
pair of shoes shipped from Boston
to Philadelphia would amount to
six miles; on a crate of thirty dozen
eggs from Chicago TO Philadelphia,
twenty cents, or three-fourths of a
cent per dozen; on a Dushel of pOta :
toes from Exmore, Virginia, 20 Phila-
d phia, 5.5 cents, These represen-
tat:ve instances indicate that the
DIAL RS who attempt to raise prices
On account of the increased freight"
are pretty apt to be found doing an
inar;istic piece of profiteering.

for a moment fails to realize the i'm
possibility of there being snow and
ice in the midot of heat that is al
most intolerable. 1t is in reality u
practically inexhaustble deposit of
soda, but bears such striking re-
semblance to a sheet of frozen water
that it has been given the nant of
Lake Magadi.
Until recent years few people knew
of its existence but a railway to the
coast for tho transportation of the
soda is now completed. opening a way
to this curious natural phenomenon.
To traverse this district in the dry
season is to have ones feet burned
thru ones shoes, and the soda spikes
will pierce any except the thickest
soles. After the rains theer is a
layer of water over the greatest part
of the surface, which turns beau
tiful shade of pink, and by moon
light the scene is weirdly beautiful.
The lake contains millions of tons
If soda deposits and both surface and
underground streams of saturated
soda liquid feed it. The present sup
ply is enormous, and as fast as it is
removed new surface, formed from
the mother liquid beneath, replaces
it. Natives.have collected soda from
the same spot year after year without
making the slightest difference, ap-
parently, in the abundance, of the
supply.

How To Treat Ivy Poisoning

In the early stages of ivy poison
ing; remedies having a fatty or oily
base, such as ointments, should not
be used, as the grease or oil tends to
dissolve and spread the poison, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
stead they advise simple remedies
such as local application OF solutions
of cooking soda or of EPSON salt,
one or two heaping teaspoons to a.
cup of water. Fluid extract of grin
della, diluted with to s, parts of
water, is often used
Solutions of this kind may be ap-
Piled with light bandages. of clean
cloths, which should be kept moist,
and should be changed and discard
ed frequently to avoid Infection. Dur
ing the night, or when moist appli-
cations can not be used, the poison
ed surfaces should be carefully clean
ed and dried and left exposed to the
air rather than tightly bandaged. In
the later stage. after the toxic mater
fal has exhausted itself, zinc-oxid ONT
ment and similar mild antiseptic and
astringent applications hasten heal
ing.
These are a few of the helpful
hints concerning ivy poisoning con-
tanned in Farmers Bulletin 1855,
which tells also how to distinguish
between poison ivy and poison su-
mac. The bulletin is illustrated with
pictures of the two plants, which are
often confused.

Acid sRemoves Stain on Zinc.

Zinc .darkens with use, but may be
frightened by the use of scourers.
Zinc on floors, under stoves, and in
like places, SHOULD be secured with
bath-brick and Kerosene, washed and
rinsed with water, and wiped dry.
Zinc on tables, or wherever likely to
come in contact with food, should
be secured with bath-brick and wat
er. Acid, as in vinegar orr lemon
juice, may be used to remove stains
on zinc, but should be thoroughly
washed off; otherwise the zinc Will
tarnish again very soon.

GYPsIEs FORCED TO MOVE

Several hundred Rumalian gypsies
have started moving from the out
skirts of Baltimore to a more moth
arn cline on account of the Maryland
law that requires them to pay ST.

They refused to either pay the fee or
move into houses, and long trains of
wagons, flivvers and marching gyp-
sizes clad in brilliant colors started on
their exodus.

Prevent the Hcssian Fly.

Probably no other insect causes
more damage to the wheat crop of the
United States than the. Hessian fly
and there is, nd such thing as fly
proof what. The treatment of the
Hessian fly must be preventative for
after it gets in there is no help and
the thing to do is to delay the plant
ing OF wheat until the main body of
the fly energies in the fall The
time of planting wheat varies from
October to October 20 in Kentucky
according to the location. In the
Blue Grass section the date is October
and in the Western part of the State
II is the goth. The flies may be ex-
pected to appear earlier this year
because of 1.-THE many rains and it will
probably appear about September list,
as the moisture serves to. liberate the
fly. The Department of Entomology,
of the College of Agriculture, advises
that it will be necessary for the
farmers everywhere to sow wheat
this year at the same time as usual.
Circular No. 4, at the Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, prepared
on the Hessian fly is available for
wheat growers.
