OUR EXPORTS TO CANADA

Canada shipped S600,000,000I
worth of goods to the United
States last year. It is natural
for American manufacturers and
farmers to say: "Why should
we let that stuff in to compete
with our own goods? Why not
increase the tariff and shut
most of it out?"
There is another side. The u
nited States shipped nearly a
billion dollars worth Of goods to
Canada last year. A good share
of the shipments we're paid for
with the Canadian goods that
came to this country. 1t takes a
lot of factories and workmen to
make the billion dollars worth
Of goods that were sent to Can
ada. These workmen use their
wages to buy food and clothing
and talking machines. They con-
stitute a big market.
Now suppose Canada's ability
to buy their goods were cut
down. Factories would at once
close and their employees would
be out of work. So they would
be unable to buy the things they
had been purchasing. Their in,
ability to buy would affect A
merican farmers and manufac
urers.
! Isn't it worthwhile from the
standpoint of American business
not to disturbe this huge trade
, which gives employment to 81
many workers? Wouldn't it re
ally be shortsighted to interfer,
, with Canada's ability to buy tn,
billions worth of goods whicl
i are produced for her within tn,
/ United States?

GOOD ROADS MEETING
An Effort Being Made to Help

The good roads meeting Tues
day night at the Elks Club was
attended by a goodly number OF
citizens, who gave expression to
their willingness to help the
commissioners of the Lexington
Special Road District in repair
ing the roads leading into Lex

roads we're acknowledged by ev-
eryone present, but there was a
wide divergence of opinion in
just how to go about it and
where to commence. The roads
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce had studied the situa-
tion from every angle-the sal
wage, cost, money available, and
nature of the repairs-and after
conference with the commission
ers recommended that the Well

DESTROY PESTS.

Science has demonstrated that
two pests are a constant menace
to each individual coming in con-
tact with them-rats and flies.
Flies, being the most common
and by most persons the least /
feared, are permitted to contain
mate food in way that is dan
gerous to human health. Prem
ises should be kept clear of rats
and other rodents, for not only
are they bearers of filth, but
they are known to carry the
germs of a number of diseases
which may be communicated to
members of the human family
especially to children.
A great deal has been said in
recent years about the fly and
the effect it has in spreading
disease, especially the ailments
that affect the digestive system.
Many of the illnesses of children
may be traced to milk or other
/ food that has been contaminated
by the fly. The campaign a.
gainst the fly has made progress,
but there are still many persons
who do not realize the impor-
tance of protecting themselves
against this pest. They do not
give serious thought to the fact
that screening against the fly is
one of the best investments that
can be made for any family, and
the fly is permitted to invade
the home unmolested.
Now is the time to wage war
fare on the fly. Every corner a.
bout the premises which may
become a breeding place for the
fly should be sprinkled with ker
osene, unslacked lime or othel
chemicals that viii destroy the
eggs or render the spot untena
ble for this insect pest. The frs
flies which appear about th'
home should be destroyed, fo
they are the forerunners Of tn
millions that win swarm later il
the season.

know little of burdensome taxa
tion compared with what is en-
dured not only by the British,
but by other nations of western
Europe also. We complain that
the government dips into our in
comes that seem all too small to
meet our wants, but we should
be thankful that we do not live
across the Atlantic. We might
have expert knowledge on the
subject of taxation such as we
should not desire. No tag is en-
tirely agreeable, but it is east

large one.

TAXES: BRITISH AND
AMERICAN.

If anyone still is lamenting the
recent payment of income tax
and feels that the exactions of
the federal government are ex-
cessive it may prove a bit COM
forting to compare our rates
with those imposed by the Brit
ish government The small-sal-
aried Individual here does not
pay a heavy tax, but not so those
living under the British flag. In
Britain the system is somewhat
complicated, but an illustration
will show the difference. An
Englishman having an income
the equivalent of $4,000 and hav-
ing no unusual exemptions will
pay a tax of $506.25. Here he
would pay SbO.OO.
In view of this comparison it
would seem entirely appropriate
and not at all pharisaical to feel
thankful that we are not as the
British are. In the instance ci-
ted the British subject would
pay more than 20 per cent of his
income, while an American
would pay but "a per cent. A
man with a wife and minor chill,
dren would pay less percentage
on the same income, but in al
instances it would be much in ex
. cess Of what we pay.
