GOOD LETTER GONE WRONG

A traveller on a sleeping-car had
written a complaint to headquarters
about the presence Of vermin in his
berth. He received back from the adj
ministrative head a letter of immense
efusiveness.
Never before had such a complaint
been lodged against this scrupulously
careful line, and the management
would have suffered any loss rather
than cause annoyance to so distin-
guished citizen, ETC., etc.
He was very delighted with this alb
ject apology. But as he was throwing

WASTE-WHO PAYS?

Taxes are high-who pays? Some
people will say "The Tax Payers" Who
are the tax payers? Let me tell you,
everyone, whether we own five cents
worth Of real estate or not-whether
or not our names are on the tax rolls
of the City, the County or the State,
we are all tax payers.
If you rent your home and taxes are
increased, the owner or landlord, so
called, pays the increased tax-but
your rent is raised-you pay.
If the store keepers rent is raised
by the tax paying owner, he adds his
increased rent to the price of his gro
ceries-You pay.
The increased tax is added to the
manufacturers cost, the wooden cloth
maker, the tailor, the shop keeper, the
butcher, the baker and candlestick
maker, all must pay more for their
goods and charge more when sold to
you-You pay.
Therefore, the inefficient men put on
our City Councils; elected to our Coun-
ty Courts and selected for our Legis-
lature, when wastefui, whether on pur-
pose or because they know no better,
causing increased cost of city admin
istration, increased cost of building
roads and bridges, and the spending of
money probably for political reasons
for State purposes, unnecessary at the
time, thus increasing taxes whether
you pay direct, or not, you pay.
So it is with all wastes-indirectly
you pay.
Save-whether it is your property
you save or help save, indirectly you
help someone and probably unknown,
you help yourself.
If you are in the office, do you prop
erly conceive and save the property
of your employer-Lead pencils cost
money, not much each, it is true, but
in the aggregate they count up. Each
one is more valuable, probably, than
each unit manufactured by many fac
tories and POSSIBLY by your employer.
The waste of pencil increases the
cost of the unit and is the same as
wasting a unit of manufacture.
The same applies to carpenters.
Lumber and nails are very expensive.
Lumber for years has been cheap in
the West Darticularly in the North
west, and small piece thrown away
has not been noticed. Now, however
with common lumber costing to sc
per foot, each foot thrown away counts
up. If a carpenter wastes ten feet
per day and is capable of putting 25C
board feet in place each day, he is not
only wasting SOC to SOC of lumber, but
wasting a part of his time each day
belonging to his employer.
So it goes, with plumbers-pipe and
fittings are among the clouds wher
price is considered Many times ole
pipe can be used on a particular jol
but it is put aside and new materia
used. Short pieces are thrown away
instead of being worked into nipples
or threaded and put together for less
important work A foot of pipe of any
size now costs three times as much
as formerly. You wouldn't throw 10t
: or 25c in cash into the waste pile, YET
every wasted II inch piece Of II incl

The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen ents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty -four,
And bacon fifteen cents pound
In those brave days of yore.

When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five a week,
And when she came she stayed;
But now they are naughty clan

And troubles leave you vexed,

OWNS FLOATING HOME

Pensacola, Fla.-The new home or the Pensacola Yacht club, handsome concrete structure, is about ready for occupancy and the club members think so well of 1t that when they make the next trip to Mobile in a body they will take the clubhouse along with them to show 1t to the yachtsmen of the Ala bama city. It is floating clubhouse
 The club has just purchased for less than s10.0O0 the army Quartermaster motOrship General William Wilson, a concrete vessel, 138 feet in length, which the government built at an ex- pense of SS50,OOO. The Wilson Is equipped with two powerful gasoline motors, which cost Uncle Sam $3O, GOO each. and virtually is a new vessel, having made only one voyage since 1t was launched.
 Its only journey was a trip by easy stages from New York to Pensacola, but the voyage proved to be the un- doing of the vessel. The motors con- stunned 50 gallons of gasoline an hour, and even Uncle Sans bank account would not stand for that. On arrival of the vessel here 1t was tied up and a recent advertisement for bids for the ship resulted in the local yacht clubs becoming interested.
 The club for many years had dreamed of floating clubhouse even- tually, but even the most optimistic members did not contemplate one of concrete or one that could be moved without the assistance of a tug, and when 1t was learned the Wilson was On the market the members proceeded to file a bid.
 With the vessel went all of its equipment, which comprised every. thing from table silver to bed linen The ship has accommodations for 50 persons, but having been designed to carry troops, if necessary. there Is room aboard for several hundred. . The club expects to dredge a chan nel in the western part of Pensacola bay as a permanent berth for the vessel; but whenever the club decides to 90 in body to Mobile, New Orleans or some other Gulf port. the anchor Will be pulled aboard and the club fouse will make the trip under It's own bowa.

One of Organized Farmers Chief Program Pnks Operation Saving
Of Out

the hail insurance department established by the
politicians succeeded'in paying out in full
it was never able to meet more than portion of
the losses suffered by farmers who took out the
state Insurance.
Thus, the first year, the politicians state insur-
ance paid only 70 per cent of the farmers hail
losses. The next year it paid only 55 per cent of
the farmers losses The state hail department
limped along, however, with constantly decreasing
business through several years. It never did
much business it had done in the second year of
its existence, and never paid in full the hail losses
suffered by those farmers who still Loyalty stuck to
state insurance.
Now, when the Nonpartisan league entered the
political arena in North Dakota, the League said
to the farmers:
"Hail insurance by the state is not failure
simply because the kind of state hail insurance the
politicians gave you has failed. They intended
that to fail, they could discredt state owner
ship Vote for the League and we will establish
real, ADEQUATE system of state hail insurance,
and save you millions of dollars year."
The League successful politically. How well
did it carry out it's promises? The latest report of
