Smile and Don't be a Crouch

And a crouch never helped hu-
man being, You can afford smile
even if you do. not feel like it. A
smile does not cost you anything,
vet it has a business value. The
chap who ducks up smiling when
everybody is pulling fong faces is
the chap you want to do business
with.
The crouch only begets grouches

Federation

The Kinds County. Gazette in
discussing political tolerance, says:
federation in politics is not
only right. but it is a good asset.
Because a man differs from you is
no reason why he is your enemy.
He may be as honest in his con-
Yictions as yon are in yours. 1t is
mere matter of seeing things from
different angles. Open minded
men rarely fall out over honest diff
ferences. They may work together
for the good of the state or county
on other matters. while opposing
each other on some one thing.
And besides it is always we'll to
remember that while we may
be partisans before the primaries,
we should be patriots thereafter and
give loyal support to the officers so
long as they try to do right. wheth-
er they were our choice or not.
The farsighted politician never Of
tends those who honestly oppose
him; he realizes that his adversary
in one primary may be his ally in
the next"

Bond Issues Not Popular

The people generally throughout
the state are noting the cause of
existing high taxes, and are refusing
to vote additional bond issues upon
themselves either for road or edu-
cational purposes.
Most counties are loaded already
with bond obligations and voters
are writhing under the tax imposed
to meet accruinG interest. to say
nothing of the time when the bonds
themselves must be liquidated,
Good roads and good schools are
the basic essentials in which the
happiness of a people and its pos
perity is founded.
In providing good roads and good
schools the present generation must
take care not to wreck it's own for
tunes nor handicap the fortunes of
the generation that Is to succeed it.
1t would appear wise then in
every case where additional bonds
are proposed for the people to vote
upon themselves for these purposes
that prudence would suggest that
obligations can be imposed TO such
extent as to eventuate In bank
ruptcy. A bankrupt people cannot
be happy. To be happy, a people
must be prosperous, and to be pros
porous no people must owe more
than they can reasonably pay.

Not to Manipulate Markets


Farmers are not organizing for
the purpose of setting the prices of
their cotton, tobacco, or other pro-
ducts. Farmers cannot compel the
world to pay any price they may
fix for their products They could
not do this if they wanted to and
they ought not to do it if they
could, But while farmers are not
organizing to fix unreasonable prices
or to control the market regardless
of supply and demand, and it
would not be right for them to do
so if they could, they are organ
izing to prevent others from con-
trolling the market. This is right
and can be done if the farmers be-
come sufficiently organized. Farm
ers are not organizing to manipu-
late the markets for their produce
regardless Of supply and demand,
but to prevent others from doing
so.-Progressive Farmer.

To the Taxpayers Monroe County:
have just closed the tax collec-

In checking up the tax rolls l
find that the total assessed valua-
ton of the county is $12, 1000
[ have collected the taxes on Sll,-
1913, 422. leaving balance of $751;
$40 valuation uncollectable. which
makes approximately SO per cent
collection.
| also beg leave to state for the
information of the public that the
final accounting for the fees and
commissions and other emoluments
of this office, under the fee system,
the sheriff pocketed; but is now,
under the salary system, paid into

county officers salaries are drawn,
will exceed the salaries of myself,

proximately So. 100 SO. which con-
stitutes a saving TO the taxpayers
of the county of that amount.

More Pork Production
on Southern Farms

Back to Stock Keeping is the
banner that should be flung across
every highway and byway this fall
in every southern state, and any
procession organized TO march be-
bind that should be headed by the
Duroc hog. Anybody who has any
real familiarity with the making OF
the corn belt knows that the hog
has been the biggest single factor
in farm progress. There is profit
in feeding cheap grain to hogs
worth from 500 to $500 per cwt.
A considerable slump can take
place and still leave the grower OF
good hogs a profit on his corn crop,
and the three billion yield OF 1921,
now promised. ensures an abund-
ance of low priced feed for fall and
winter operations.
The red hog is the most effective
prosperity booster on the United
States map today. He is growing
and gaining while his owner is
asleep or busy on his daily rounds.
He never stops, and every pound
he is putting on this year, spells
profit. Corn and hogs and dairy
cattle is the winning combination
of the hour and the money which is
being put In the farm purse by 1t Is
the money that will sooner or later
turn the wheels of factories now
idle. Cotton growing as a business
NAV be alright under certain cir
cumstances-iust as growing
sheep for its fleece alone may be
economically sound upon certain
lands not adapted to ordinary hus-
bandry. We can remember we'll
when southern Minnesota was
great wheat country. 1t did not
come into its own great wealth,
however, until wheat production as
a specially was pushed out 10 the
newer north and west and diyersi-
fed farming substituted. We have
no Quarrel with either wheat grow
ing or cotton planting, but We hope
to see the day when our soils will
be nationally and regularly fed by
the heavy manuring that goes with
stock keeping. Ii we are to farm
for the next rs years az we have
farmed for the last rs years, our
great southland, which ought to be
the garden spot of America, will be
dotted with abandoned farms and
civilization will be in its decline.
We have got to work for better and
more permanent agriculture, and
whenever you go in the different
countries. you will find the best
agriculture, the largest prosperity,
where you find the best live stock,
YOU will find the most fertile farms
where. you find the most live stock.
Now is the ideal time to get a
few we'll bred Duroc-J ersey hogs.

Other Officers Invited
To Make Reports

According to the statement of J..
B. Lewis. sheriff, published else
where in this paper, the fees, COM
missions and other emoluments
collected by the sheriff and turned
nto the county treasury for the
fiscal year 1920 exceeded the sala-
ries paid to the sheriff and all his
deputies for that year by 50. 100. SO.
In other words, if the Office had
been conducted under the fee sys-
tenn instead of the salary law, the
sheriff and his deputies would have
received 2.190 SO more than they
did. This is a good showing for
the sheriff's office. 1t is now in or
der that the chancery and circuit
clerk, the board of supervisors and
superintendent of education make
similar reports so that the people
may be able to pass upon the rela-
tive merits OF the Zee system and
the salary law 1t would be inn
possible for them to do this intel
ligently unless they had data that
would furnish the comparative ex-
pense of conducting all county of
fees under the two systems.
The Weekly would be glad to
publish such reports from the of
fees above cited.
