In my opinion, Calvin Coolidge and
Joseph Warner (speaker of the house)
were responsible for that legislation

Governor Coolidge 1t was passed by a
vote of more than , to /"

He said he was sorry to hear it, be-
cause he would like to see the subway
bill go through
Il asked if he thought the bill was

very little about its merits but had
confidence in the men behind it, He
then asked if l thought it would look
pretty bad to call a special session

BROKEN SPIRITS

Men go to the dogs, and
we have contempt for
them.
We say they have no
character and no win
power, that they cannot
withstand reverses or
temptation. We call
them yellow"
May we not be terribly
unjust in adopting that
kind of an attitude toward
that kind of man2 Some
thing has happened to
that man to break his
spirit-something to cause
him to lose his self-re-
spect. Instead of con-
tempt he needs un-
bodnded sympathy; he
needs to have a hearty
handclasp and q word Of
encouragement; he needs
to be inspirited.
A man may be down, but
he's never out until the last
breath has left his body.
When we see q man who In
down. let's give him a lift.
1t may be all that is need
ed to change him from q

Purpose.
OPEN THREE SAFES

The town Of harrisburg was ran
sacked by thieves Friday night. FOul
places were entered and three safes
opened. The thieves, however, got away
with very little booty, including not
over $50 in cash.
At the Lane Moore lumber yard Office
they opened the safe, but found NJ
money. They passed up large amount
III checks and notes.
At the w. J. Streveler garage the!
were more successful. There they
found some SO in change.
At the Gilchrist elevator they opened
the safe, but got no money.
At the Illinois Central depot they
opened the safe. There was no money
there, however, and they went through
trunk belonging to the agents wife
They carried away the pick of her best
clothes.
There is no clew, but the opinion is
general that there were several in the
party and that they were professionals,
The town is much wrought up over the
attempted wholesale robbery.

The farmers Wife.

Farm Life: The farmers wife once
led life composed of toll and drudg-
ing. The praise she got was dearly
bought, and it was scant and grudg-
ing But that was in the long ago
when farmers shaved with spade and
hoe to make the pesky garden grow,
so we should cease our judging. The
farmers toll to till the soil made
head and limbs both tired, and tenn
pers; too, We're all worn through. and
how his brow perspired! No wonder.
when his toll was done, he thought of
naught but number one. He had no
time to think Of fun his better half de-
sired.
But tractors now are made to pillow.
He reads the advertising Of each de-
vice. and pays the price. The change
is most surprising. For he is not self
ish beast: he thinks about himself the
least and. now his brow's no longer
creased, he's happy. I'm surmising.
With broader means he buys machines
to aid the wife with cleaning. The
farmers mate is up-to-date; her
labor's not bemeaning. She has ma
chimes to churn and pump: she isn't
always on the jump. With lessenel
toll, she's getting plump. Toward high
err things she's leaning.
Let's teach the boys the farmers
joys. Let's teach the girls who're grow
ing that lie who tills the plains and
hills and superintends the moving. or
she who bakcs the farmers beans is
not slave by any means. Let's tell
it in the magazines: let's make it
bright and glowing. Let's tell the trutl,
and teach the truth. and not neglect
their learning. Let's tell them how
farm life is now let's fill their hearts
with yearning to live where nature is
in bloom where birds and flowers con-
qucr gloom. Such proMganda'll start
boom, if I'm at all discerning.

Of Missouri.
State Levy.

In arranging the budget of the state
for the ensuing biennial period 1t be-
came absolutely necessary to raise the
tax levy and it is not difficult to nc.
count for this necessity. The taxable
value of property in the. state returned
for assessment in 1920 was S1,1O3.-
1896 Upon this amount the 3Stll
general assembly instructed the Ex'
ecutive Council to make such levy us
would yield $7.9OO,OOO for state pur-
poses for that year and it was found
upon calculation that a levy of ia
mills would produce the sum fixed by
the legislature. The taxable value of
property in the state rs returned for
assessment in 1921 was substantially
the same as in 1920, but the 39th gen
eral assembly directed the executive
council to make such levy as would
Weld S1O.O72.OO for state purposes for
the current year. 1t was imperative
therefore that the rate of levy he Gle
waited from 73J mills to SIS mills. and
there was no alternative but to make
such increase. 1t ought to be said in
this connection that the council was
able to hold the levy below Q mills by
emitting to provide $30O.OOO contem-
plated by the general assembly to de-
fray the expenses Of constitutional
convention and special session, neith-
er of which will occur The first the
legisla ture refused to sanction. and the
second I declined To call.

Peat Bed Burns.

A peat bed on the George Friday
farm near Eagle Grove, in Wright
county, caught fire during the hot. dry
weather in July and gave promise Of
burning several weeks. The peat bed
covers about ten acres and this year
had been in hay which had been cut
before the fire started. Furorws have
been plowed around the field in the
hope Of preventing the fire from
spreading. Peat beds were very COM
mon in that section before a system of
drainage was evolved and now there is
not much Of this peculiar formation
left.
