KEEP DOWN THE TAX RATE

Throughout the State protests
can be heard against any In
crease in the State of County
tax rates and movements for a
reduction of both, are being
pushed, because of the serious
plight of farmers.
The Belair Times, of Hartford
county, recently published the
following editorial.
In view of the fact that more
than Is per cent OF our taxes
are paid by our farmers, and
further that for the past two
years they have played in hard
luck. have run behind and in
many instances have failed to
even obtain the cost Of their lab.
Or and fertilizer in raising
their crops, new plans and
schemes for spending more mon.
ey. even for meritorious projects
are foolish and inadvisable.
At this writing, although 1t II
the last day for the payment OF
county and State taxes, HUNDREDS
of our farmers do not have the
cash and will have to borrow to
meet this absolutely necessary
outlay. At Annapolis, leglslaa,,
ton is on foot, some to cut OIL
certain revenues from the State
others to add on, in both cases
necessitating an increase in taxes
and compelling the farmers to
90 deeper and deeper in dept.
None are stronger advocates
= of progress and improvements
in schools and roads than are
we. We fully approve OF the
good that the the Parent Teach
ers' Association desires to accom-
plish, and in ordinarily prosper
GUS times they would receive our
strongest backing in the raising
of money for better paid teach
ers, for better school buildings
and improved highways. At the
present time we realize that this
cannot be done unless we want
to see hundreds of our farmers
discouraged by this heavy add.
tional burden, either selling out
or being sold out.
In this expression we are only
echoing the remarks of dozens OF
agriculturists with whom we
have talked lately-men who
come to Balair to borrow money
for this or that necessary ex-
pense and who talk in an utterly
indignant tone at the prospect
of more burdens being placed
upon them.
This is a serious situation from
the point of view Of all our cltl-
zens. for, while the wage-earn-
er, lawyer and merchant have
not felt it to the extent OF the
farmer. vet anything that hurts
him. INJURIES US all. The various
worthy organizations pushing
these movements for vast ex-
penditures either locally or at
Annapolis, should seriously con,
slider what their success would
mean in the way of distress to
the worker in the soil, consider
that after all, in comparison
with the recent past, schools,
roads and other conveniences
are in fair shape, and for at
least a few years, declare a NOR
atorium on new and expensive
plans.

INCOME TAX SLUMPS
Decline of More Than $6,000,000 in
Iowa District Compared to
Last Year.

A decrease of $6,744,01S.17 is
shown in the income tax collections
for the first three months of the
year 1922 as compared with those OF
1921, according to figures issued by
Collector Lars Bladine, for the in
ternal revenue department of Iowa
The payments for the first three
months include payment of the first
installment, compared with collections
of like nature during the previous
year.
The fiugres for 1922 show that the
sum of $4,O22 ,S55.74 was collected
by the department, while 1921 the
figures show $1O,766,876.91.
The number of returns is in excess
of those filed in 1921, altho the ma
jority are tax exempt. The pro
vision requiring returns on gross
incomes in excess of $4,000 is re-
sponsible for the large number of re-
turns.

SKELETONS IN STATE CAVE
Explorations in New Park Near
AnamOsa Reveal Mystery.

Anamosa, Iowa Horse Thief cave
at the state park is yielding up its
dead. The cave is known to con-
tain number Of inner rooms of var
ious sizes, but the entrance is 80
choked with the wash of years that 1T
has been difficult to gain entrance TO
the cavern. Excavation of this wash
was recently commenced under SUI
pervision of A. d. Corcoran, who ex-
plored the cave many years ago.
The skeletons of four human be-
ings have already been unearthed.
Two of the skeletons are those of
adults and the others are those of
children. One of the skeletons is over
six feet long and evidently that of a
man of powerful physique. Another
of the skeletons is that of a mere
baby.
Mystery surrounds the origin of
these skeletons and their presence in
Horse Thief cave. The cave got its
name from an early day when it was
reputed TO be the rendezvous of horse
thieves of this section of Iowa. 1t is
located in a wild, out of the way
spot, which made il ideal as a hiding

Gander Fights Child

Waterloo, Iowa-Dorothy Burk,
aged three, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Burk, lies in darkness with
her eyes bandaged and may lose the
sight of one eye because of vicious
attack by q big old gander while she
was playing about the farm home,
Saturday afternoon. The child's face
and neck are also terribly lacerated.
Dorothy had been running around
the place near the house where
geese were feeding. What led to the
attack by the male goose is not
known. Mrs. Burk was attracted by
the screams of her daughter and
rushed to the rescue. Beating off
the Infatuated gander with a stick,
she picked up the girl and hur-
ried her into the house. Blood was
streaming from numerous wounds,
and the left eye was apparently des-
troyed.

Immense Timber Wolf Killed When
Stealing a Sheep

Dubuque, Iowa,-What is believed
to be the largest timber wolf in this
section of the country, a king of
pack, was shot by Mark McDermott
after the wolf had killed a lamb
and carried it to his mate through
mile of heavily timbered land.
The wolves are reported to be in a
famished condition, and Mr.. Nc
Dermott stated, when he claimed the
SO bounty, that the wolf had killed
the lamb during the noon hour.
The wolf making the kill came
out into the open, scattered a flock
of sheep and seized the lamb.

ReIinuuishes Cadillac Account to Take Up Advertising
 Work for Peerless

The tremendous valuation Ameri- can business places upon advertising today was illustrated when Theodore r. McManus relinquished his contract with the Cadillac Motor Car company almost two years before it was due to expire in order to associate him self with R. II. Collins as advertising counsel for the Peerless Motor Car company
 Mir. McManus' annual compensation under the contract which terminated December 31 ran into six figures: but this is not the first time he has refused such a retainer. He has all ways been very much in demand and is Sidely known throughout the en- tire country, possibly winning his greatest reputation while with the Cadillac company. The step he has just taken is causing much comment everywhere.
 Many of Mir. McManus' Cadillac an nouncements have been used as texts in university courses. high school classes and advertising schools. One of his announcements has been re- printed more often than any other piece of American business literature ever written, with the possible ex- ception of Ebert Hubbard's Mes sage to Garcia. He has been yer. close to Mr Collins during the lase four years, and was an integral par of the organization which has Joined with MT. Collins in the Peerless en- terprise.

 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been eating too
 much meat

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache. sick headache. dizzy spells; your stomach sours. tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy full of sediments. channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good. reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithie. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

TELLS OF
 NEW LIGHT SIX

The Jewett, the new light six-cyi- inder car designed and built under the auspices of the Paige-Detrolt Motor Car company and to be sold by Paige dealers. was unveiled by Presi- dent Harry M Jewett at the annual New York dinner in Hotel Commodore Thursday evening in the presence of about 500 motor car merchandise~s. It was the first glimpse anyone, other than a factory official, has had of this keenly anticipated addi- tion to 1922 automotive offerings, as the car is not on public exhibition as yet. For the next few weeks only dealers will be given this oppor tunity.
 The unveiling of the Jewett came as dramatic climax to the stirring address MT Jewett made to the Paige guests. Placed on stage at the end of the hall and cunningly concealed, at the so-called psychological mo- ment the curtain was drawn and the new car stood revealed
 Probably no debutante ever re- ceived a heartier welcome than the Jewett. It was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. The smartness of it's design, the sturdiness of it's e0iit'Ni eNAASii Hiid Niit NdA louS illtttAtttt- ieal features as outlined informally by MT. Jewett made a profound i'm pression on the Paige men, and they expressed themselves as delighted at the opportunity to handle such a likely and promising product.
 As Mr Jewett pointed out in his address. the addition of the Jewett places the Paige dealer in an envi- able position, for with the new Series 6-66 and 644, Paige models he has now a complete line-one that gives him strong position in each dom mating price and quality field
 In introducing the Jewett the Paige president said the six-cylinder type had been selected because the six is inherently balanced We have employed all our resources and varied experience.' said he, "to produce a powerful car of exceptional mechan- ical excellence and so sturdy that it will stand much abuse: and we have not overlooked beauty. We have keyed up our factor for the limit of production, as it is only through great volume that the Jewett price can be maintained.
 In the course of his introductory remarks MT. Jewett paid this tribute to the automobile industry: T lo not think there is an industry in the world that has learned it's lesson more completely or is on a firmer foundation than the automobile in dustry; no industry has cleaned house more effectively or gotten down to a saner basis. Overhead has been cut and slashed. Plants and machinery are up to the highest peak of perfection. Never in the history of the automobile industry have prices been as low as they are today Never in its history has the Paige been able to give the values 1t is giving today"
 The Detroit Motor Car company are local distributors of the Paige.
