Adjusting the Tax Burden.

The real issue before the Ameri-
can people (and anybody but a bone
head politician could see IT'D is the
matter of adjusting and reducing the
cost of living and the cost of govern
ment
The cost of government is so ire
mendously high in this country that
it reflects itself into everything we
use, wear or eat. 1t affects shelter.
1t affects transportation. The whole
dreary round gets back to multifar-
Gus cost of government, of duplicated
overhead. of an army of office hold
ers, inspectors and paternalistic crea-
lures for the producer to carry as he
sweats along.
The foregoing statements come I'M
der the class of generalities They
state but do not prove Very we'll, turn
to another page and read an article
devoted TO the cost of government in
Wisconsin alone. There are facts
enough there for anybody.
The man in the factory, the man
behind the counter, the man behind
the pillow is the man who pays. Super
vised and governed to death there is
no one to solace with him when his
money is gone and the sheriff is one
jump behind him and the undertaken
just behind the sheriff The county
will bury the, poor devil if the worst
comes to the worst.

the chains of flesh and the stepping
forth on clouds as a little brother to
the jovial spirits on Parnassus by
other means We seek to develop that
fine fitness of body that carries a
feeling of perfect health with it.
There is no kick from the first bloom
of alcohol like this. We seek to give
ourselves mental stimulus through the
organs of sight and hearing. We seek
to surround life with wholesome out
lets instead of a recourse to booze
and drugs. Slowly this is being &C
complished.
Unfortunately the subject of sex is
taboo 1t must not be discussed. Yet
it is a fact that the subject is one OF
paramount interest and Importance
in the life of every red-blooded hui
man. 1t is a fact also that sound and
healthy viewpoint along sex lines is
essential to a healthy, happy life. The
voluptary is gnawed by hidden fires.
1t has been said: "He who is corrupt
ed in youth can never think cleanly
again. 1t seems to be so. But the
right to discuss sex is being exer-
cised and the truth about life renewal
is reaching youth in clean manner
through text books instead of an I'M
clean manner back of a barn.
This is our own comparison of 25
years ago and now. 1t may be mile
off but it is the exact truth as we see
it. Take it for what it is worth.

The Epic OF
the Wheat.

A week or so ago, down in Texas,
the wheat began to fall before the
header 1t was carried from the can
vas platform to the barge and went
thence by team to the stack. The far
mer or his boy ran the header. In his
two or three barges were wandering
nomads more or less skilled with a
pitchfork And at the stack was the
prince of the job, the stacker who
draws the best pay of the crew and
has considerably the most TO say.
And this week in Oklahoma begins
the harvest. Thousands of acres OF
standing wheat will be cut and left
in stubble. Stacks will dot the plains
for miles. Harvest hands, marching
north like locusts, will advance on
farms, cut the grain and march on.
And around July the grain will
begin falling in Kansas. Two weeks
or, so later in Nebraska, a month later
in the Dakotas. So on until Septem-
Der when the wheat is cut on the
Canadian prairies.
Each year the cycle of the harvest
takes place. Each year the cut starts
in Texas and rolls northward to the
farfung horizon line of the Peace
river which flows into the Great Slave
Lake in the Arctic circle. Each year
the wheat advances from a tender
shoot to the heavy head. 1t stands in
green waves, looking ever so much
like a sea. 1t ripens to tawny gold
and shudders and pillows as the winds
sweep over it. 1t falls before the keen
header knives and is stacked for
threshing Later comes grinding and
baking Bread The world must be fed
EthnolOgists say that wheat was
the first grain to be domesticated by
man. The Cro-Magnon, killing his food
at first, tanned animals and created
herds. Dairy products were added to
his diet. One day he nibbled the
grains of wild wheat and found them
luscious. He made his home near the
wild wheat as the Indian still lives
near the wild rice fields. Sensing the
value of wheat the primitive man
must have nurtured the plant. Even
tually, back in the dawn of our race,
he domesticated it.
Today, still bound to the soil, we
too nurture the wheat. Our means of
gathering. distributing and preparing
are different but the fundamentals re-
main the same. The sunshine, the rain,
the wind, the good warm earth-these
are the fundamentals of wheat Gull
ture Man improves his own but not
Natures plan.

walls of the house were blown out
and the floors and roof fell in. The
three in the house were severely
bruised and cut by the falling of the
wreckage. Mrs. Meimas is believed to
be seriously injured.
The explosion drew neighbors from
radius of two miles. Crews of men
were organized and rescued Mr.. and
Mrs. Meimas and Miss Lindow from
the wreckage, which had begun to
burn. The fire, however, was put out
quickly.

MUCH INTEREST IN FIGHT CARD Boys On All-Star Bill Are Training Hard
 For Go

'"The way the advance seat sale for the all-star card to be staged at the Bir- mingham Athletic club Monday night tends to show that we are going to play to big house," said Secretary Coach Erwin, in commenting on the show for Friday afternoon. You take eight To- cal boys of the calibre of those fellows who are going to appear on the Monday night card, boys who have fought as much as they have in Birmingham, and as cleanly, and they are bound to have scores of friends. Every one of these friends wants to see his buddy in &C., ton and to root for him. This fact, think, amounts for the brisk way the ticket sale went on it's first day"
 Erwin also lamented the fact that the club was having to spend so much money in getting the boys ready for the big show. It had to buy 16 12-ounce gloves as an insurance that the boys would be ir perfect trim for Monday night. Two gloves to a man, and eight boys working out nightly in the B. A. c. gym necessitated this outlay for the ''mitts"
 Dave Evans, matchmaker, who has undertaken to guarantee the fight fans of Birmingham four real bouts on the Monday all-star local card, said Fri

MICHIGAN WILL
 MEET ILLINOIS
Major Conflicts Of Con- ference Season Come
 Off Saturday

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Illinois and Michigan, with the. 1923 Western Con ference gridiron championship shared between them, meet tomorrow, at Ur- bana to dedicate Illinois new $700,000 stadium in the outstanding game of the 1924 season in the west. Seats have been sold for record breaking crowd of 67,000 spectators.
 These gridiron rivals went through their conference schedule last season without a defeat, finishing in a dead lock for the title. Partisans of each claimed superiority for their teams, and tomorrow's game will go a long way to- ward determining the 1923 puzzle, al- though Michigan lost more of its stars of the 1923 eleven than did Illinois,
 The Wolverines will be without the services of Harry Kipke, all-American half back; Jack Blott, who was simil- hrly honored for center, and Muirhead and Uteritz. Illinois will send an al- most veteran team into the field with two exceptions, McMillen, guard, and Green, center.
 It is doubtful if any game in the west this season will provide more thrills than the meeting between Illinois and Michigan. With two victories each to their credit Illinois and the Wolver- ines have experienced considerable sea- Roning and the weather outlook prom ises favorable possibilities for any type of play the coaches may have developed.
 The forward passing of Harold 'Red" Grange, an-American star of 1923, won the Illinois opening tilt with Nebraska, and this famous player dis played enough of his last years form against Butler week ago to enable Illinois to win handily. Michigan's big problem will be to stop Grange tomor- row. a task that was too much for ev- cry Illinois opponent last season.
 Michigan will flash Captain Herb .Steger as a stellar performer The Wolverines pulled their steam roller stuff on Miami in their opening game of the season, but the Michigan Aggies held Coach Yost's warriors to close z to o victory last Saturday. The ex- perts agree, however, that YoSt did not send his men into the game with any idea of overplaying them, evidently saw ing them together with his latest forma' tiOns for tOmOrrow's combat.
 Three other games between conference opponents will be decided tomorrow. Minnesota meets Wisconsin at Madison and Indiana plays Chicago here and Northwestern takes on Purdue on the Evanston field.

 Coach Robin Hood is anticipating trouble in getting rid of the AnnistOn gridders in a successful manner.

However, with Coach Nc Lane sending in his best lineup of the season the Junior Colonels will have considerable trouble in disposing of the visitors.
 The Bibb county high school team will encounter Coach Snider's strong Hueytown Gophers in the Bessener stadium Saturday morning and tough game is expected. The Bibb crew is strong, it is reported, while the Goph- CTS have walked through all opponents this season.

CULLMAN BEATS
 MORGAN COUNTY
Northerners Have Easy Time
 Winning From Hartselle

CULLMAN, Ala, Oct. 17.-(Spe- cial. )-Cullman High easily emerged victorious over their big rivals, Nor gan County High Of Hartselle, here Friday afternoon in a oRe-sided but good football game. The Hartselle clan staged a hard fight but could not cope with the forward passing and line smashing attack of the Cullman eleven.
 Callahan, Cullman's great back, was easily the star of the game, his running attack standing out prominently. Gull man used quite a number of scrubs aft CT the game was cinched.
 Hartselle made two first downs, one coming at the beginning of the game, on one play of which Waller, Cullman cap tain and star end, was badly injured and was forced to retire from the fracas. The other first down came when Hart selle back, on a neatly executed trick play, broke away for touchdown. The Morgan county quarterback was their outstanding performer.
 Cullman is trying to get a game for next weekend, that date being open at present. The officials are anxious to get in touch with any high school clan which has an open. date at that time.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 17.-Although six south~rn conference elevens play teams outside the conference tomorrow and four are idle as result of mid week activities, the day brings the big gest family row of the season thus far in that the remaining 12 are locked in embraces that may prove to be to the death. The possibility of deadlocks is ever present as witnessed by two mo- decision conference contests last Sat urday but the teams are always bitter enders before the game and the battles tomorrow will be fought out on that basis if 1t takes all afternoon.
 The intersectional interest of the day is centered in the games between Penn State and Georgia Tech, the Nittany Lions making the long trip from State College, Pa., to engage / the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta. This is the first invasion of the south by an eastern team during the season and will be in the nature of a return of the several calls southern elevens have made out side their own playground. The east erners are not taking their game with Tech lightly and are said to have pointed for it. Glenn Kilinger, assist ant coach, has been in the stands at Techs last two games. Tech scouts have also looked the Nittany outfit over in two games.
 Four Not in Action
 The University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, the University of South Carolina and Clemson College will have a chance tomorrow to send coaches and players on scouting trips in preparation for the future for none of, this quartet will be in action. The North Carolina teams furnished the feature of the North Carolina state fair Thursday at Raleigh and the South Carolinians will do the same. thing at their fair Thursday. South Carolina warmed up for it's big game with game with Presbyterian college today while Clemson conserved its energies for Thursday at noon.
 Alabama and Sewanee will play to- morrow in Birmingham in game that should be interesting from the first whistle. The Purple Tigers are up and coming after a slow start while the Crimson Tide showed terrific drive against the Mississippi lChoctaws Sat urday.
 Tulane is reported ready to meet Vanderbilt in New Orleans, the Com modores having had brisk workout against the Quantico Marines without reaching a decision and the Green said to be displaying powerful defense with defect here and there in the defense.
 Virginia Meets V. M. I.
 Virginia and V. NJ. I. continue their long series of fighting games with a much better contest indicated than was the case last year when the Cadets dis posed of the Cavaliers handily.
 V. P. I. goes to Washington to play the University of Maryland. Mary land was defeated by Washington and Lee but the game was played the day before the world series opened and the College park lads may have been excited. V. P. I. was charged with being a bit shy of per in its scoreless tie with Auburn. s4
 The University of Mississippi and Mississippi A. and M. clash at Jack son in a game that should be thor oughly worthwhile. The Aggies lost last Saturday while "Old Miss" was winning but the university outfit was
