NOCNT JOSEPH DE GOBI-
~ NEAU. a gifted French
writer OF the last century,
wrote a History Of the Human
Race in which he expressed
this cheerful sentiment:
Man is the wickedest Of all
animals"
Many philosophers have an
alyzed this book and come to
agreement with the author. As
far as wickedness is concerned,
man certainly takes the prize.
CCHOPENHAUER quotes the
~ above statement Of de Co
bineau and says:
He is quite right. Man is
the only animal which causes
pain to others without any fur
ther purpose than just to cause
it. Other animals never do il
except to satisfy their hunger
or in the rage OF combat.
mo animal ever torments an
other for the mere purpose Of
tormenting. but man does it,
and II is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature in his
character which is so much
worse than the merely animal.
Tt is a fact that in the heart
of every man there lies a wild
beast which only waits for an
opportunity to storm and rage.
in its desire to inflict pain on
others, or. il they stand in his
way. to kill them"
You may suggest that cats
torment mice, but even IL they
do it wantonly it is not much
Of a defense for man.

Annual Rainfall.

There has been recalculated from re-
cent data the amount of rain annually
falling upon the earth's surface. 1t
Is found that it is equivalent to layer
Of water of the uniform depth for the
whole globe of about 35ih inches. The
amount falling ON the land Is eQuiva-
lent to uniform depth of 29l1s inches,
considering only the land which Is
drained by rivers flowing into the sea.
1t is calculated that only 30 per cent
is returned to the ocean, and that the
rest Is removed by evaporation.-

Farm Account Books.

How many people, farmers of bus
mess men, keep an account of all
transactions throughout the year so
that at the end of the year a sum-
mary can be made with little diff
Guilty to determine the profit or loss
as the case may be. Not only for
this reason is it important to keep
accounts but as long as we are pay
ing the income tax will it be abso-
lutely necessary to keep some kind
OF an account. The County Agent
has supply of Farm Account Books
which have been devised by the Col
lege of Agriculture, Madison, and
which are placed on sale at cost, SOC.
Several farmers have already applied
for copy to start the new year with.
The book calls for an Inventory
which is nothing more than a list of
stock, machinery, feeds, ETC., and is
not any harder to list than articles
for sale. If interested call or
write the County Agent.

Express Shippers To Save.

The public will save approximately
$1,5OO,O00 month as result of the
elimination of the war tax on ex-
press shipments according to George
c. Taylor, president of the American
Railway Express Co. The revenue
act of 1921 eliminates the war tax of
one cent on every twenty cents and
fractions thereof in transportation
charges on all express shipments
This tax during the year of 1920
amounted to 7,5O2,918. The aver
age transportation charge for each
express shipment was approximately
$3.50 and the average war tax for
each shipment was cents. The elm
ination of the tax therefore, will vir-
tually amount to a decrease in rates
of a little more than 5 per cent. AS
the revenue act becomes effective Jan
1, 1922, the tax on all shipments for
warded collect and arriving on or af-
ter Jan. 1, the tax will not be assess
ed.
