Why We Have Fairgrounds

Get outi" yells the cop, cor II
soon put a stop
To your nerve racking din by run
ming you in.
You can't play on this street, while
I'm on this beat;
So chase yourself hence, get away
from the fence"
And the CO he's the law and we've
got to obey,
But he don't tell us what or where
we can play.
Get out!" yells the man, as We
kick his ash can,
And he calls us vile toughs and vii
lians and roughs.
The names if I said would knock
mother down dead.
We run all our might to get out
of his sight
And bump into people who kick
us away,
But never tell us a place we can
play.
Now if you+ were a lad, didn't mean
to be bad,
Had no place to meet except on the
street,
No place to play ball, or tag at all
Now honest and true, what on
earth would you do?
Why you'd lie and make bets and
smoke cigarettes;
You'd gamble and fight and throw
stones just for spite,
You'd try to live down TO the names
you were named,
And you'd lie with the gang with
out feeling ashamed.
Give them a chance for innocent
sport, give them a chance for
fun;
Better a playground than a court
and Jail when the harm is
done.
Give them a chance-if you stint
them now, tomorroT you'll
have to pay
A larger bill for a darker i'll, so give
them a chance to play.
That folks, is why we have play
grounds in the city of Perth Amboy.

POINTS FOR P0ULTRYMEN
VISUALdZED IN NEW FILM

A new one-reei film, entitled MAX.
ing Poultry Pay" designed to present
the fundamentals OF poultry raising
for the small producer. has just been
completed for the Bureau of Animal
Industry, and is now released for dis
tribution by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
This picture stresses the points
that the beginner in poultry raising
must observe If he is to hope for enc
cess Quality of stock, care in select
ing eggs for setting, and in handling
the setting hen or the incubator, ven
tilat1on and sanitation in providing
quarters for the hens, treatment Of
diseases, and the kind Of rations to
feed for egg production, are some OF
the phases Of the business covered.
Being popular rather than techni-
cal In treatment, Making Poultry
Pay" should be OF value for useTin
communities where poultry consti-
tutes a side line in general farming,
rather than where fouls are raised on
a commercial scale. The picture

COFFEE SHORTAGE NOT SERIOUS.

Considerable attention is being CIV
en- at the present time to coffee on
account of rumors that have been cir
culated which would lead the public
to believe that IL they did not lay in
a large supply, they would soon be
without this necessary article Of diet,
or they would have to pay exhorbi-
tant prices TO get it.
From most reliable and conserva-
tive sources it is learned that most
of this publish" talk comes from
sources that are selfishly interested
in seeing a heavy speculative buying
movement started in coffee. While it
is fact that a temporary shortage
of green coffee exists in the United
States, there is no serious shortage
of coffee in producing countries. If
everyone will continue to supply
themselves with coffee in normal
way, the law Of supply and demand
will ultimately relieve the slightly ag-
grayated condition that now exists. =
Roasters may be obliged for time
to get more money for their. products

/ The producing, -dividend-payins
mines, the heaviest purchasers and
| the biggest payroll makers, bear aheir
shcas of pussfic taxation. They are
taxed as to their equipment and prop
orty holdings the same as any other
class of property and in addition
they LAY a state tax on net profits.
In this respect they are unique con-
trasted with other kinds sof property;
spect, tOr every ton of ore taken or,
to that extent Slfminishes the value
of the property Other property IS
enhanced in value by production; the
mine is deprecated thsreby. Because
OF that situation, for one reason, it
had been difficult in bygone years to
arrive at an accurate basis of mine
taxation.
Since 1908 Idaho has had on the
statute books requirement for a net
profit tax ON mines, in addition to the
tax on tangible mining property. 1t
has brought large revenues to the
state.
TUnder the former system assessors
made levies which might, and COM
monty were, grossly unfair to this or
that property land might have been
unfair to the state. 1t was largely a
matter of guess work and highly up-
scientific.
The present law, in the long run,
brings more revenue to the state and
is favored by mining companies ,nly
because it puts their tax liabilities
upon a, definite basis; and, as to the
hon- productive mine, it certainly is
not worth anything in addition to the
actual amount spent upon its equip |
nent and property holdings apon |
which it now pays taxes the same as
my other taxpayer.
The public generally has had little
Information ON this subject nor upon
he Importance of our mining indus
ry to state progress. 1t ought to he
he desire of every thinking citizen to
amiliarize himself with some Of the I
of this great industry
s well as of others. ,
