acres of Indian land for which they paid SIS.

$3.50
This was all the money that any one OF the
three men ever put into this enterprise. BY
incorporating their lease and selling a part of
the stock. they got together enough money to
sink eighteen wells upon the property. Then

As fast as the sales tax was paid
in, the money would go right back
to the soldiers, and that means to
the people.
That money wouldn't be wasted.
No profiteers would get any Of it.
The present taxation would remain
just what Congress has already
agreed it shall be. The money
would simply flow into the Treasury
from the peoples pockets and flow
out again into the soldiers pockets.
And with such a little tax most Of
us would not feel our small share.
1t wouldn't amount to as much for
the ordinary family as the cost Of
the daily paper-not near so much.
Justice and square deal for the
men who fought the war, and a
genuine trial of a tax system which
many of us, who are not fools by
any means, believe to be the system
that will most benefit the masses,
are certainly worth buying at half
the cost of one of the papers you
buy every morning and evening,
without a thought of grudging the
pennies.

Ford and the Railroads

rRUTT growers of Michigan ask President Harding to

notice that the railroad that Ford owns he has
duced rates and raised wages On the other roads, private
w owned they have reduced WAGES and raised RATES
However, the running Of the railroads of this country
too big job for any individual any group of ndivid
nails and the private owners arc learning it.
The supplies funds the roads allowed to
charge the public what they please and they still

ability could not manage the entire thing.

yYYHY can't the Congress make
w an experiment with the sales
W tax that would convince the
people whether it is a good thing
or mott
Why not levy sales tax of half
a cent on the dollar on all sales
amounting to more than $500 in one
month, and then use the revenue so
provided to pay the soldiers their
adjusted compensation
That tax would not hurt anybody.
If we are not wrong in our reason
ing, it would help the great majority
of the people.
But suppose it didn't. Suppose
it didn't benefit anybody. 1t surely
wouldn't hurt much in one year.
And during that year we could all
have proof of the sales tax pudding
by good taste of it.
And if a years trial Of the sales
tax in this mild form didn't benefit
the taxpayer-though it would, all
right, all right-still the soldiers
would have their due.
The nation would be paying its
debt and making good its promises.

For The
Shut In
AROST of this and every other
M newspaper is printed for we'll
AVA fo1Lc

NA folks.
There is news for politicians and
merchants, society people and re-
formers, financiers and those in
terested in sports, and all the rest
Of the active, urgent and vigorous
people that make up the community.
But there is another portion Of
our population that is not so often
mentioned, that number who lie
helpless in bed, or sit at windows
in wheeled chairs, those who spend
hours tracing the design on the
wallpaper or counting the cracks in
the ceiling, the multitude of them
that do not read but are read to.
This article is for them.
First of ali, you ought to remem-
Der that, just because you can do no
work with your body, you are not
out of the great drama of life, and
have no part to play. For you still
THINK. And some of the best
and most useful work of this world
has been done by Thinking.
Your mind is not deranged, else
this would not be read to you at
all. And wherever a mind is func-
tioning there is an opportunity to
do something worth while.
One thing sickness gives you, as
nothing else can, and that is-Per-
spective. You have a chance to see
things in their proper relations, to
see them as they really are, because
you are removed little, and are
not too close to them.
You can estimate your own life
better, and see whether what you
have been doing up till now has
been worth doing, and how you
might improve.
You can revise your friendships,
and weed out your enthusiasms.
Your position in the household as
an invalid gives you a peculiar
throne Of power. You are waited
on and deferred to. Out from your
sickroom can go current Of in
fluence stronger than can impress
the family from any other source.
You have an incompatible stage
upon which to show forth the very
finest qualities of life. For to be
patient, cheerful, unafraid and
thoughtful in your affliction counts
tenfold more than when you exhibit
these virtues in health.
And you may find yourself. Elmer
son says, "Few men find themselves
before they die" You may dis
cover riches of power, of memory,
of imagination, of vision and of
loyalty, within yourself of which in
your days of vigor you never
dreamed.
This, too, is a part of the Great
Plan. This sickness has its place in
the Book of Life.
In its silence and in its pain, in
its solitude and among its fears,
may lie the Great Secret which,
when we discover, is from then on
the most valuable treasure Of life.

The War of
The Clocks
NF all the nonsense rampant
upon this crazy planet, this
Daylight Saving War that is


Daylight Saving War that is
now waging is the most nonsensical.
When the country was divided
into zones some years ago and East
ern, Central and Pacific Standard
Time was arranged, we all felt
pleased that order had at last come
out of chaos and the time muddle
was cleared.
The world does move, we said,
and mankind does progress, al
though slowly.
Then came Daylight Saving.
To get more work hours and more
play hours, to induce folks to get
up earlier, and to make the popula
ton better and nobler in every way,
we were told to turn the clocks all
forward an hour on one date and
backward an hour on another.
We did it. Then, Of course, we
undid it, And then we half did it,
and did it in spots.
We cast out the Devil of Confu-
sion, and then he came back, and
finding the house swept and gar
nished, he returned, and brought with
him Seven Other Devils. So that
our last state is worse than our first.
A great war is now on. 1t will be
known in history as the War Of the
Clocks. We got through with the
German War too soon; we hadn't
had near fighting enough, so we
went to quarreling over the time o.
day, which is as good bone as
another.
Hartford, says a newspaper, has
been deprived of her city charter
because her inhabitants refuse to
conform their clocks to the normal
winter time, which has been made
obligatory by the Connecticut legis-
lature. Infatuated farmers (alias
electric light companies) want to en-
Join railways. Massachusetts, is in
arms against New Hampshire;
New Hampshire against Vermont.
The secession of Maine appears to
be imminent. In fact, there is no
reason why civil war should not
break out tomorrow and the Ameri-
can Union founder not on the rocks,
but on the clocks of rebellion.
Although Capitalization in Ameri-
can political development must be
viewed with considerable suspicion,
says a review, there seems no good
reason why the absurd confusion of
the hours should be permitted. The
Congress Of the United States should
certainly exercise its power of estab-
fishing uniform measures, and insist
that the timekeepers of the country
be set according to the standard
time maintained at Washington.
Then we should not have to re-
quire two watches when we are in
New York and table of logarithms
to find out when to take the 4
O'Clock train for Washington, which
leaves at 8.

COTTON ADVICE S'
 WERE OF BULL|SH.
 NATURE YESTERDAY.
Higher Basis Asked for Spot Cotton In South Checked Export Demand for
 the Far East
Rx Assnciated Press

New York, August 12.-Bullish crop advices caused rallies after an early decline in the cotton market today but they were not fully maintained with the market closing steady. net four points higher to 25 points lower. The relative firmness of near months at the close was attributed to switching from them to later deliv- cries by holders of the local stock. December contracts sold off to 13.55c on the early break, rallied to 1S.7Sc and closed at 1S63c, compared with 1S.65c at the close of yesterday.
 The market opened steady at an advance of points to a decline of g points, and turned easy right after the call under a renewal of scattering g liquidation. Liverpool and Wall street reports that the higher basis asked for spot cotton in the south had checked export demand for the far east and continued complaints of a dull trade in Manchester contrib uted to the decline which carried Oc- tober off to 13.11c and January to 13.60c or about 10 to 12 points net lower.
 There was some trade buying around these figures, however, and the market rallied sharply on pri vate reports that the crop indica~ tion had dropped from S,203,00 bales on July 25, to about 7,5o0,00 Scat tering complaints of crop deteroria- tion were also received, which gave the market pretty firm tone dur ing the middle of the day with De- tober selling up to 13.35c and January 13SSc or II to 1G points net higher This advance seemed to bring in a little more hedge selling and the market later was quiet, with last prices showing reactions of Is to 20 points from the best.
