YES, KILL THE FLIES

Whether it be right to do evil that
good may come has been a point much
in dispute since the first man said
Lets argue about something" That
evil may result from doing good is
not so we'll understood, but it some
times happens. Admitting, for the
sake of argument, that all gambling
is an evil, and that betting, whether
upon a card game, horse race, basket
ball contest, or the weather, is gam
bling, it emphatically does not follow
that any means for preventing gam
bling is necessarily good means.
A fly is a pest. 1t can be killed
with blow Of Ratchet. If fly is
on mans head and Ratchet crush
es the fly and incidentally destroys the
man, the act of destruction is hardly
to he commended as good because q
fly is exterminated.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
GAINING IN WEIGHT

1t was Phillip Brooks who said "He
who helps a child helps humanity
with distinctness and a thoroughness
that no help given to human creatures
at any other stage of their existence
can ever hope to equal" And it is in
helping the school children of Farm
ington that the Parent Teacher Asso-
citation is doing its most effective
work. The monthly record of weights
shows a gradual increase, especially
among the children who are taking
milk. This number is growing from
week to week, until now the ward
schools order over $50 bottles a week.
The teachers are doing effective work,
by keeping before the minds of the
children the Importance of milk as a
means of building up the physical be-
ing, and by this means increasing the
mental efficiency of their pupils.
An appeal was made to those inter-
ested in the schools for funds to sup
ply milk for undernourished children
who were unable to procure it them
selves, and the response was immedi.
ate and most generous. Voluntary
contributions have been received by
which twenty children are being fur
nished with milk; one generous citi-
zen supplying four children, others
two for period of weeks. This is the
most beneficial and most far-reaching
good anyone could accomplish with a
small amount of money, and the AS
ISOLATION is most happy to acknowl-
edge the generous help that is being
given. Further funds could be used,
as it has been proven that the amount
of milk necessary for the building up
of an under-nourished or mal-nour-
ished child is quart a day. To sup
ply one child with one bottle for the
period of week takes only Is cents,
a very small outlay to accomplish so
much good.
The Association will hold its regu-
lar monthly meeting at the high
school on Wednesday, Feb. 9Th, at 8
o'clock.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN,
STORY ABOUT TAXES

Democrats who are complaining
about high taxes in Missouri must
give some thought and consideration
to conversation being related by
Will Drake, residing north of Clinton,
with a dyed-in-theJwool Republican a
short time ago after paying his taxes.
The story related by Mr.. Drake fol-
lows:
"a Democrat out his way was twit-
ting die-in-the-iast-ditch Republican
on the high taxes, when the Republi-
can at last turned on him and bIurted
out, Well, anyway you d Demo
Gratis are responsible for the whole
thing
elbow Gomez asked the Democrat,
we haven't had anything to do with
it,
ayes, you have, too was the Re-
publican's retort. In the last election,
so many of you fool Democrats voted
the Republican ticket that the State
went Republican. Hyde and his bunch
got in and the whole mess just natu-
rally followed. II you-all Democrats
had voted for your own men instead
of voting for ours, the state would have
gone Democratic, and our taxes would
have gone along just like they have
done before"

and women who remained away from
the polls or voted the Republican tick.

AUTOS AND RAIL
ROADS BOTH NEEDED

On all sides you see the extension of
bile passenger car. Men with small
capital are everywhere buying trucks
to carry light freight and packages
between city and town and between
towns.
All over the United States, comfort
able automobile passenger cars are
carrying people between towns cheap
err than the railroad does ii and pretty
nearly as fast as the local accommo-
dation trains.
Here and there railroads are aban-
doning ocomotive-hauled passenger
trains on branch lines and carrying
the people in large truck cars.
All this is an indication of the way
things are going in transportation. 1t
is the way the railroads themselves
began spreading over the land rs to
81 years ago.
How seriously is the expansion of
the automobile in transportation going
to injure the railroads? 1t isn't long
since railroad men were much alarm
ed, but they are getting over it. Peo-
pie and heavy freight are constantly
increasing in America. With goou
management passenger and heavy
freight traffic can be made very prof
table to the railroads no matter how
much light freight and packages are
carried by autos. The competition of
the automobile is going to wake the
railroads into a state of new eff
cheney and it will be only those which
do not bestir themselves that will go
to the dogs because of the expanding
auto truck.

1921 INCOME TAX RETURNS
ARE NOW DUE

The Collector of Internal Revenue

subdivided the District into units or

the various counties in the district,
instruct the taxpayers and assist them
in preparing returns. The department
requests the cooperation of newspa-
pers, public officers and business men
in effecting the widest publicity during
the current filing period, so that all
of those individuals, partnerships and
corporations liable for an income tax
return may file the same before the
expiration of the time limit. The at
tention of residents of this county is
called to the schedule printed below,
which shows the places where the
deputy collector may be found, and
the dates on which he will be at the
service of the taxpayers. 1t is de-
sired that all Of our readers, who may
be liable for an income tax return,
prepare list showing income from
various sources during the year 1921,
and also list showing expenses and
proper deductions allowed by the law.

been assigned to assist taxpayers in
this county. and his schedule follows
for st. Francois county: Bonnie Terre,

PENALTY OMITTED
IN MOTOR LAWS

Like ship without a rudder, the
Nevada motor vehicle act, passed at
the 1921 session of the legislature
and repeating all previous measures
of similar character, may be rem
dered imperative so far as the ap-
plication of its penal provisions
upon license fees is concerned, by
reason of the absence of a penalty
clause.
Discovery of the omission by the
legislature of this important section
of the statute was made known
when L. d. Summerfield, district at
torney of Washoe county, prepared
communication to Attorney-Gen-
eral Fowler, directing his attention
to the asserted defect and asking
for ruling to guide county officers
in the enforcement of the law.
The measure provides that licenes
fees must be paid and also pre-
scribes the manner in which they
are to be paid, but it does not fix
penalty for non-payment. This,
however, according to the district
attorney, in no wise prejudices the
states claims against the owners of
motor vehicles who attempt to OPP
crate them without licenses, to be
prosecuted by civil action. 1t was
pointed out that to operate a motor
vehicle in Nevada incurs a debt in
the states favor to the amount OF
the license tax, Notwithstanding the
penal provisions of the new motor
law.
Just at this time the secretary of
state is doing large volume of
business in issuing licenses for 1922.
The states annual revenues from
this source approximate 100000.
1t is not anticipated that motor
vehicle owners will cause any trou-
Bile by refusal to apply for their
licenses even should the attorney
general agree that the law is of no
effect SO far as its penal provisions
are concerned, because a civil ac-
ton brought by the state to recover
on a claim of this character would
entail an expense many times the
amount of the average fine imposed
in misdemeanor cases.

TO INVESTIGATE
RED ROCK FIRE

Destruction of two-pupil school
house in the Red Rock school dis
trict of Washoe county by fire Janu-
airy 16, will be investigated by the
sheriff and district attorney on the
theory that the building was fired
by an incendiary, it became known
upon receipt of a letter by the dis
trict attorney from the clerk of the
Red Rock school board requesting
such an investigation, says the Reno
Gazette.
The communication is devoid of
information concerning the origin
of the fire. Mrs. M. K. Hargus,
clerk of the board, simply says that
the teacher and the two pupils who
were in the building at the time of
the fire are convinced that the torch
was deliberately applied.
"If this affair is allowed to go
unnoticed, we may have more of
the same kind of trouble" says the
letter.
Mr.. Summerfield referred the case
to Sheriff Hillhouse and an investi-
cation will be conducted by that
official.
