The purchaser had paid &c a
pound, or three times what the pro-
Queer got for it. Commission men,
transportation and retailers had eat
en- up the digerence between &c and
66c, or 44c. Somebody had gotten
more for the turkey than the man
got who raised it, fed it and carried
it to market
There is a lesson to be gained
from this, and that is that the soon
er people around Belington with
something to sell learn that it can
be disposed of to the consumer direct
by parcels post the better they will
be off. People who buy turkeys,
eggs, chickens and a dozen other
things in rural communities would
far rather buy direct. Not only be-
cause it is cheaper, but because they
know exactly where it comes from.
The weekly newspapers of this coun-
try can act as your selling agent; a
few cents invested in small ad in
your hometown paper may reach
someone who will become your per-
manent customer-and one customer
always brings others. Isn't it worth
trying out?

JOHN R. RAMSEY
HOPE is FADING

s
Just as we predicted sometime ago
the hope of lower taxes this year has
about gone gjimnerings Congress
seems to have lost sight of the inn
portant matter Of tax reduction in
its desire to wash lot of dirty
linen growing out of the oil scandals.
Mr.. MELONS plan for reducing taxes
is being opposed, and another plan
offered by the opposition, which
would also reduce them, seems to
have struck political snag. AS
result, the taxpayers of this country
can make up their minds to go right
ahead bearing their tax burdens for
many months to come.
For years we've seen the biggest
fortunes of this country go untaxed
or taxed for very little when COM
pared with the rates paid by the
smaller property owners. Men with
big fortunes place their money in
securities that are tax free. Men
with small incomes can't buy such
securities, and are forced to shoulder
their nations burden of taxes. To-
day income taxes and wa rtaxes are
bringing in more than is required
to run the government, and yet a
bunch of men selected by the people
to serve the people can't forget poll
tics long enough to give Americans
the relief they are Untitled to. Where
is the voter around Belington who
cares whether the Republicans or
Democrats lower our taxes SO long
as they are lowered? The present
action of Congress is doing more to
disgust the public with cheap politi-
cal tactics than anything that has
ever been pulled off in, Washington.
And you can bet that the average
taxpayer is going to be mighty hard
to reason with in future political
campaigns, especially by those now
in Congress, both Democrats and
Republicans, who have it in their
power to do something for the coun-
try, but wont.

HOME FIRE DRILLS

Fire drills in the public schools of
this county often prove blessing
in emergencies. Why wouldn't they
work in the home as well +? Why
wouldn't it be a good idea for the
head of each family in Belington to
devote few minutes at the supper
table some evening to a discussion
of the best thing to do if the house
caught fire? 1t seems as though
with an understanding beforehand a.
mong members of the family, quite
lot could be accomplished toward
putting out the fire or saving enough
of the household goods to make it
worth while. Of course the first
thing to do is to see that everyone
is safely out of the house. Another
thing is to see that they are warmly
clothed before they are forced out.
But how to do it-there is the topic
for your supper-table discussion.
There is no reason why, if hundreds
Of children can be so organized as
to save themselves in any emergency
that family of just few can't or
ganize even more perfectly. Let's
have fire drill in every home. YOU
We no way of telling but your family
may be the next one to wish it had
thought of such thing.

LOSING BOTH WAYS

There may really be times when
inorance is bliss. Not long ago a
turkey that travelled from farm
in North Dakota to mans table in
New Jersey carried with it a little
bit of explanation that convinced the
man who ate the turkey that he lost
money when he bought it and the
producer lost money when he sold
it. Concealed within the turkeys in
terror was a tiny bottle from the
North Dakota farmer: Dear Friend
Il sold this turkey for 22c pound.
Please write me what you paid

offered, though perhaps of importance, give little hope of really meeting the situation. The federal bureaus statistics show that oneffth of all fatalities by accidents in the United States in 1923 were caused by automobiles According to Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce. the rate of fatal cidents has been doubled in the past ten years by automobile operation. Yet perhaps that does not mean that there is more careless driving than there was ten years ago, for the number of automobiles has more than doubled. Probably the ratio of fa- decreased And yet there is little satisfaction in that
 ''There are three broad methods of approach to remedy" says MT. Hoover, whose views worth recording First, through prevention and safe guard; second, through much stronger punishment for violation of the rights of others; third through public education to its responsibilities. The vast majority of motorists are conscientious careful and competent. It is the inconsiderate, the careless,' the incompetent who bringing these dangers. Nor is the pedestrian altogether free from contributory negligence
 All of which Is true as generalization But 1t is we'll known fact that many fatal accidents are caused by persons in MT. Hoover $ first catagory- those conscientious, considerate and competent
 British Columbia is trying out somewhat new system. It has voted to retain the speed limit and apply the principle of "the common danger.' bill has been introduced in the British house of con- mons also which would abolish the speed limit and enthrone the "common danger rule. Possibly this method will prove satisfactory than the limitation system, for the "common danger' print ciple is somewhat elastic and it will be for courts and juries to decide what it in given in- stance. At any rate, it will be interesting and perhaps instructive to observe the results of its ap plicaton.
 The problem is becoming one of increasing i'm portance. The automobile Is important fix ture in national life as any other transporta- ton asset. The nation is faced with the question of how to control it.
