.PAMPERED FLIVVER TO TUNE
OF ST., 400 FROM STATE FUND
According to Bill of Employe 1t Cost
That Much to Operate Tin Lizzie.

Somewhere among the fleet OF f1iv-
vers maintained by the state OF Penn
svlvania there is one which is believ-
ed to have a platinum engine, pearl
bearings and an appetite for rare
oriental perfumes, instead OF gasoline.
Auditor General Lewis has APPROX
ed an expense account for the upkeep
of this car, amounting to 81 400 in one
year. He feels that the inicky Aivver
burned nothing less expensive than
altar Of heliotrope for fuel, as the ra-
ton allowance itemized in the expense
account was much too much for mere
gasoline. He estimated that the car
would have had to run 200 miles ev-
cry day of the year to have consumed
all the gas charged to its account.

A POULTRY FARM IN
RANDOLPH COUNTY
AN ENTERPRISE NEAR SHELL.
MAN THAT IS ATTRACTING
MUCH ATTENTION.
H. w. Taylor in Poultry Journal.

l. ~
Mr.. R. G. Hall, proprietor Of Pa
chitla Poultry farm, owns 400 acres
OF land admirably adapted to live
stock production and is devOting 50
acres to the breeding and raising of
White Plymouth Rock chickens.
On the upper Shellman road, which
is a section of the principal east and
west highway of this part OF Georgia,
one sees many large laying houses and
ten breeding-pen houses. The former
are substantially built of good lumber,
are two feet from the ground and have
brick pillars. Each of these will &C
commodate from 125 to 200 hens. The
breeding houses are intended tor a
family OF ten or twelve and each has
a ward OF more than quarter of an
acre The mated pens have, therefore,
all the advantages OF free range.
One of the most interesting and
unique features is a long covered run
way, or brooder coop, connected with
each brooder house. These coops are
s by 40 feet and have a dirt floor.
They will be used as chicken kinder
gartens and places to run little fell
lows in wet weather. Baby chicks can
be on the ground. but protected from

Coops have screened south fronts.
Not the least attractive building is
the home OF the poultryman, where
Mr.. and Mrs w. V. Barden, chicken
raisers of considerable experience
hold forth Their home is a spick-and-
span new bungalow of five rooms
elegantly finished and furnished
throughout
Best Of all, this venture is not the
result OF sudden inspiration, but the
development Of a longtime dream and
labor. Mr. Hall has been a back lot
ter" for several years. He has been
stock raiser and Jersey breeder tor
thirty years and is not new to the
vicissitudes and problems OF the farm.
1t is even rumOred that while dong
postgraduate work in history at the
University ~of Wisconsin Mr.. Hall
spent as much time at the barns and
poultry houses of that institution as
he did in the library-though he did
creditable work in history.

Our Trusty Scouts

1t was demonstrated again yesterday that the
Boy Scouts organization is an institution OF use

a body held together for play or amusement. In

needed in the attempts on the part of the re
finery corporations to save these structures and
keep traffic moving and to warn the public of
the dangers. These activities required many
men. More than could be secured. A call was
made for scout help. Some several hundred re-
sponded to the blowing of the whistle. Scout mas
tiers selected from the ranks the number requir-
ed for the purpose, and dismissed the remainder,
all in semi-military fashion, and those chosen
entered upon the duties of the day. They directed
the traffic along the detours, stood guard over
the washed out and dangerous places, warned of
the dangers along the route, held up the traffic
at the unsafe Casper Greek bridge and in fact
released for service in combating the floods
and protecting the bridges from further dam
age several scores of men sadly needed for the
work in hand.
The scouts did their appointed work like sold
iers and many of them would have willingly
joined the workmen in the more important work
of saving the public property.
1t is hoped that the people of Casper are alive
to an appreciation of the value of the Boy Scouts.
These willing workers for good purposes are be-
ing more and more called upon to take the place
of men in the affairs of life. 1t is fortunate that
they have received the training they have, for
the larger duties.
This boys organization is destined to play a
great part and have a tremendous influence on
the next generation. There is no question of the
improvement the scouts will have made in the
quality of citizenship.

Not a Prohibitive Tariff

It is manifestly untrue to call the presen;
tariff law a "prohibitive tariff" A comparison
of recent trade statistics with the records Of
1914, and 1920 under the former law in peace
times, demonstrates beyond question that the ex.
listing law is in no sense a "Chinese Wall" as il
has been represented to be by those ignorant of
its provisions and the results that have obtained
under it.
The average rate of duty on all imports for
1914, nine months of which was under the Demo-
cratic law, was 1874 per cent. In 1920 it sank to
g. per cent. In 1921 it was 81 per cent. the en-
eregency tariff law being passed in May of that
year. In 1922 the average was 1871 per cent, and
for the fiscal year, ended June 3Oth, last. it was
las per cent. So you can't find a prohibitive tar.
Tiff in that.
The percentage of free goods for 1914 was sos
percent; for 1920. 65 per cent; for 1921, $50 per
cent; for 1922, GLIB per cent; and for 1923, 57.3
per cent. You can't find a prohibitive tariff in
that.
The average rate of duty on dutiable goods
in 1914 was 3S1 per cent; in 1920, III per cent;
in 1921, 20.3 per cent; in 1922, 35.3 per cent: and
in 1923, BIS per cent. You can't find a prohib-
tive tariff in that.
Imports for the fiscal year 1922 totaled $2,6OS,-
100000; in 1923, nine months under the Fordney-
McCumber tariff law, they totalel S3,7S1 900, 900

Greater Initiative Needed

When everything runs alright and smooth
and those things fitting into the cogs Of the ma
chine perform their functions all in proper and
regular form, there is no greater piece of me-
canism than Uncle Sans postal system. But
when something goes wrong and some unit fails
in its duty, some part is temporarily incapaci'
tated, the government shows less than half the
enterprise and initiative that private effort ex-
hibits under like circumstances. In cases like
floods, washouts or any other disturbance in
Transportation, the mails are always delayed
beyond the time private enterprise would have
them ON the spot. There is no excuse, save
that there is no one of sufficient authority at
hand to command in such cases. Some one at a
distance, to whom things must be laboriously ex-
planned, must give the order.
If it could be gotten into the heads of all pos
tai employees that the United States mail is .he
death, business, finance, everything almost, de
ponds upon the quick receipt and dispatch of
mail, and they could be, and should be, clothed
with emergency authority there would be no such
distressing delays as Wyoming has suffered in
the past few months in the delivery of mail mat
ter.
The great United States should take the same
pride in enterprise and service. to the people that
private concerns so frequently show.
Any and every means should be commanded in
the service of the people. If railroads fail, then
trucks, automobiles airplanes, horses and wag-
ons, even the broad back of a good walker, any
or all of these should be requisioned and the
mails sent forward with all the. swiftness pos.
sible.
The apparently impossible is accomplished
every day by men the world over. The post of,
flee department should wake up and tackle the
impossible and put it over.

Why Europe Wants
Money


In the present circumstances the
European nations could commit no
greater folly than to indulge in war
fare. They are economically reg
duced and financially exhausted
from the last war. They cannot
pay their debts, or they at least
claim thai they should not be ex-
pected to do so. Economic and
social confusion exists practically
everywhere on the continent. War
requires vast sums Of money that
they do not possess and a strong
popular support that in he circum-
tances should be lacking. Never
theless. there are Indications that
some Of these impoverished nations
would be rushing into war now II
they could borrow the money. or buy
the supplies from America It
might not be impossible TO discover
in Europe the opinion that in the
interests of humanity inc Justice
the United States should cancel past

commandments and occupation Of

The Opinion Of Other Newspapers
Anof a Kind
(Torfolk News.)

t1otAoAh
Americans may differ as to our
international relations. There nre
internationalists. nationalists, isola-
tionists. proleaguers and anti
leaguers. Some of us believe in ex-
tending aid to war devastated
Europe and some OF us do not. But
in the face of a catastrophe such
as has laid waste a large and i'm.
portant section of Japan there will
be no difference of opinion as TO
what we should do. America is al
ways united when called UPON to
aid a people stricken by disaster or
pestilence.
President Coolidge has called upon
the people of this country to SUBJ
scribe to a fund through the Red
Cross for the relief of the impover-
ished millions of Japan. Organiza-
tion work is already under way and
every community ought to do its
share.
We have our troubles and our
burdens but they fade into p~ettiness
in comparison with the terrible
calamity that has been visited upon
our Japanese neighbors. Grateful.
ness that we have been spared such
a disaster and sympathy for tho
helpless victims of one of natures
most. terrible moods should make us
go down into our pockets for the
money necessary to carry relief to
the survivors. America never has
failed when such n call has been
issued and It will not fail now.
