COaSting Accident
job?

Darlington Democrat.-The Bates
boys, especially Stanley have come
through very fortunately if such a
word may be consistently used in con
nection with such an accident. 1t
happened while the boys were sleigh
riding and, coming from opposite di-
rections, crashed together before
either had time to see the other.
Clyde, son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Bates sustained broken nose but
was otherwise not seriously injured.
On the other hand, Stanley, eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Bates, was
crushed about the head and face be-
yond recognition and was in a criti-
cal condition for several days. Dur
ing this time his eyes were closed
and as the swelling about his lips
and nose increased, it became ex-
tremely hard for him to breathe.
We are glad to state that both boys
are rapidly recruiting and Stanley is
now able to be back with his school
mates.

A Calm View of Taxation

Dodgeville Chronicle: Yes-taxes
are high and it is naturally to be ex-
pected that they would be. The tax
rate of 2.55 is not abnormally high
but valuations have grown and in
many localities land values have
trebled and when the taxes are fig
ured it brings the total to a consid-
cradle sum. Don't blame the gov
eminent or the state for high taxes
as most of the taxes we pay are local
and for improvement and expendi-
lures authorized at home. The local
school taxes are 100000 and the
city tax is another $4,000 which is
five-sevenths of all the taxes we pay
and these sums are expended by the
city authorities and the school board.
Of course there are some who can
point out where public money has
been practically thrown away, but
getting down to brass tacks are there
any of us who could do better than
the present. officials if we were on the
job?

Export Trade Important

We should make every effort to
stimulate and enlarge our export
trade This is especially important
to the farmers, because approximate
ly SO per cent of our export trade
represents agricultural products. Eu-
ropean nations desire our cotton,
grain and other products, but have
no credit. 1t is is to our interest to
supply that credit.
The recent action of the League of
Nations at Geneva for the establish
ment of an international commission
to consolidate the credits of some Of
the Central European powers and
utilize them in the purchase of Amer
lean commodities, is an important
step and offers a new opportunity
for helpful service by the War FL
nance Comparatively. G. McAdoo.

SENIORITY OF G. A. R. HOLDS
Praise of Principles Embodied in
Message From Spanish War Vet
Grams and American Legion.

Recognition of the seniority of the
Grand Army of the Republic among
ex-service organizations and praise
of its principles are embodied in a re-
cent message from representatives of
the United Spanish War Veterans and
The American Legion.
The statement, which is signed by
Thomas J. Cunningham of the United
Spanish War Veterans, and DIR. T.
Victor Keene of The American Le
gion.. is as follows:
"The representatives of the United
Spanish War Veterans and The
American Legion, appointed by their
respective national commanders, ex-
tend to you hearty greetings. At a
joint meeting called by your past COM
mander-in-chief. Col. G. N. Adams, a
declaration of principles was unani-
mously adopted. It was agreed that
one of our nations most valuable in
stitutiOns for the teaching of patriot
ism has been the Grand Army cere-
monies in many localities, and it was
believed that wider recognition by
all of the national veteran groups in
formal manner of the opportunity
so afforded would result in mutual
good and profit.
''The younger veteran groups de-
sire the Grand Army to clearly and
definitely understand that we recog-
niZe their seniority, and hold the
Grand Army, composed as it is of our
fathers and grandfathers, in reverent
affection. We hold it splendid thing
to be permitted to aid and help the
Grand Army in it's work during it's
life; and when the Grand Army shall
be no more, with the appreciation that
all men who have seen service feel for
brothers ip arms, to continue the GUS
toms and honor the memory of the
Grand Army as we will our own"

Did you know that the market on
feed has gone down particularly so
on cotton seed meal This feed is
very high in protein, the very best
being 43 per cent. When you buy
hundred pounds of cotton seed meal
you get 43 pounds of protein which
costs about 4.5 cents per pound. In
hundred pounds of oil meal you
get 80 pounds of protein which will
cost you about seven cents per pound
When buying feeds the cost per
pound of protein must be considered
as it is this substance that makes
feed valuable. Cotton seed meal fed
to steers and dairy cattle is not in
furious if fed with silage and other
feeds. Which will produce you
cheaper beef or milk just now
feeding protein costing you about
As cents per pound or protein cost
ing seven cents. We should take
advantage of the market on cotton
seed meal and when you buy, insist
on the 43 per cent protein feed.
Nearly half of the money you pay
out is for freight and it costs no
more to ship 43 per cent than 80
per cent cotton seed meal. This also
applies to other feeds. H. r. NOBLE
