Animal Industry as being Modified

This does not of course take into
consideration delinquencies on the
second installment of the taxes,
which 20 on June 1st of each year,
but the above statistics are never
theless convincing proof of the
financial stabilization taking place
10 the county.
The total amount of current
taxes paid during the period ending
November 30th of this year was
$286, ,352.00. This included all
country and city real estate and all
personal property taxes paid.
The sum of $13,547.96 was paid
under protest. The larger amount
of this was by 500 Line Railway
Company, which paid practically
its entire first installmect under
protest. Their alleged reason for
this is, according to their statement
that the State Board of Equaliza-
tion placed an alleged excessive
valuation on their property of 1854
per cent of its true value. This
contention on their part seems
strange, as their assessment for this
year was no higher then for pre-
ceedine years when they have paid
without a quibble. 1t does not
seem reasonable to the layman that
their property this year should be
worth only Is per cent of what ii
was worth last year.
Besides the exceptionally large
payment of current taxes, delin-
quent taxes amounting to thousands
of dollars we're also paid,

VALUE OF A RESERVE

NHEN we examine the balance
w sheet of bank we find upon the
side of liabilities an account called
Reserve" The money invested in
this account Is held for purposes of
emergency. 1t is an amount set aside
out of the yearly earnings to weather
any financial storm that might come.
With sufficiently large reserve &C.
count bank protects It's depositors
and is able to avail itself of much
larger credit than 1t could possibly
command without that security. A
reserve" Is indispensable to the finan-
cial success of any business enterprise.
The absence of this reserve has
caused many financial wreck and
business failure.
In the world of moral values ''re-
serve" Is as indispensable factor as
1t is in the, business world. It is
balance of reserve power on the right
side Of the moral ledger that enables
one to overcome many a difficulty and
successfully encounter many moral
struggles. When the opportunity pre-
sents itself for one to violate a code
of business ethics and the path of
least resistance seems very easy, the
issue Is determined wholly upon the
power one possesses to say no. Should
the power of resistance be at a low
ebb the moral code is violated. If on
the other hand sufficient amount of
strength can be summoned to meet the
attack. the answer, nine cases out of
ten, will be refusal to yield. This
factor which determines ones decision
in the realm of moral values is not
instantaneously created. 1t is an as
set in ones moral world which has
been enlarging as the months and
years furnished opportunities for stor-
ing away moral reserve strength. The
larger the reserve the more success
fully and easily are the moral depres-
sions met and mastered.
A bank accumulates its reserve ac-
count gradually. 1t is created out Of
earnings. A moral reserve may be the
growth of years. Out of ones daily
experience is built up the moral re-
serve account in the trial balance Of
life, without which no person can be
morally solvent.

Remember he's the gardeners friend,
And has been for summers without end
He's dear, he's a dear, he Is a toad,
too,
Oh. what in the world without toads

for the last line to make it sound very
fine.

the lines Of one Of our greatest toad
poets and I'd leave 1t to my audience
to find out that Of course the lines
were my own. Yes, I'm full Of plans
