They were convicted in the terri

authorities have no power to intercede.
This principle of law has been &C

ARE THEY READY FOR
SCHOOL

Next week a small army Of
children will enter the public
schools of our county for the
first time. Their future hing
es on what they do in theSyears
Immediately before them
What they do in these years
depends on the condition OF
their minds and bodies.
So many physical factors
enter into the matter of proper
training and development that
it has been found of tremen-
dous advantage to begin with
the child before he enters
school. Proper examination
frequently reveals conditions
that may be cured, but which,
if neglected, will retard their
progress in school, to say moth
ing of impaired health in after
years.
Bad teeth, bad tonsils, ade-
noids, defects of vision, deaf
ness, mal-nutrition and other
handicaps to health and men
tai effort are readily discover
ed, and recommendations look
ing toward their cure or cor
'ection made.
Give these and other matters
imely attention, in order that
your boy or girl may get a fair
start in school, at least from
he health standpoint, which is
Of primary Importance, not
only to the child, but the
,eacher, as well, who will have
such a large part in the mental
shaping and direction of the
child.

Check writing Americans
paid tax of 81, 094, 237 for the
10 days in July that the law
was in effect; gasoline-buying
citizens paid a tax of $539,461
and malt and wort users con-
tributed $221,359.
Amusement taxes increased
from $197,072.80 to $343, 691 go
because of the drastic increase
in admission rates on tickets
costing more than 40 cents.
In spite of all the efforts of
Congress to rectify the condi-
ton of the Treasury, ii was
some $13,000,000 worse off this
year at the end of July than it
was last. Mr.. George j. Shoe

of internal revenue, disclosed
that collections for the month
of July totaled $61,686, 467

In 1913 the total annual tax
burden of the country was ST.
900,000,0O0. At present, our
ability to pay is less than it
was then. Yet in 1880 the
total burden reached $12,200,-
100000, and it is appreciably
higher now. Where, in 1913,
the total public debt averaged
$43.33 per capita, it now aver
ages more than $255.00.
Congressman McGugin, of
Kansas, like other qualified
observers, lays the principal
blame for exorbitant taxes on
the continual widening of gov
eminent activities. More and
more billions are demanded for
"relief" - for ventures into
business, for subsidies for
states. The great bulk of
these appropriations can bene-
fit but a smaM part of the coun-
try, and must be paid for by
people who get little or moth
ing in return.

LABOR DAY OBSERVANCE

Monday next, September 9Th,
is Labor Day-a day given over
to the commemoration OF labor
and a holiday in almost every
State in the Union.
Trade unions have been in
strumental, though organized
effort, in bringing about fitting
observance of the day, but the
real though is not Of the
unions, but a tribute TO the
toiler, as it is labor that has
given to the Nation it's indus
trial and economic impetus.
Honest toll is ever mark of
distinction. The urge to sue
coed; to work and save. These
are laudable, and successful
accomplishment means Labor
to everyone of us.

BUSINESS MEN RIDDLE
WET PLEA

The accuracy and economic
validity of the attack upon pro-
hibition made by Mr.. Henry l.
Hartman, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, in his address
"The Road to Business Stabili-
| ty" radiocast over a nation
wide hookup on August 10, has
been challenged by the Ameri-
can Business Mems Prohibition
Foundation in an open state
ment to the Chamber.
An open letter sent by Mr..
Richard H. Scott, president of
the foundation and also presi-
dent of the REQ Motor Car
Company of Lansing, Mish.,
addressed to Mr.. Hartman
says:
81 believe that l voice the
thought and conviction of mil
lions of my fellow citizens in
saying that the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States,
in my opinion, cannot afford to
blind itself to the disastrous
results that would Immediately
and increasingly follow in the
wake of repeal or modification
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
"Your contradictory conclu-
sion that the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and
the adoption of any so-called
policy of regulation, no matter
how strict would at the same
time advance the cause of tenn
perance' and provide from
81, OOO,OO0,OOO to $1,5OO,000,000
of revenue" is a mirage that
could never be realized in fact.
''In such an assertion you
clearly forget that the stability
of all industry depends upon
the purchasing power of the
masses, and that such purchas-
ing power, again tempted by
the irresistible lure of legalized
liquor-selling, no matter what
the mode of retailing it might
be, would result, as in years
gone by, in the steady diver
sion of billions from legitimate
trade to the Golfers of the
booze makers.
Rather than the road to
business stability such a plan
seems to me to propose only
the reopening of a highway
back to the jungle of economic
waste and Industrial chaos"
In regard to Mr.. Harriman's
charge that poisonous alcohol
is substituted for honest liq-
uor," Mr.. Scott shows that al
coholism fatalities have de-
clined more than 40 per cent
during the IL years of prohibi-
ton.

Most of us think of a kilo-

But in a great deal more i'm

BUSINESS AND POLITICAL
LEADERSHIP

Three hundred university
and college presidents and pro-
fessors have been asked to give
the public their opinion OF
what is wrong with business
and how it shall be placed on
it's feet.
Letters sent out from the
National League of Commits
sion Merchants, with head
quarters in Washington and
offices located in Cleveland.
New York. Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl, Tampa, Atlanta, Rich
mond and Philadelphia, put
these questions:
"Nationally where are we
going? Where should we go?
If we are off the road leading
to a desirable civic ana social
future, how are we to get back
to the RICH road?"
Expressing dissatisfaction
with the leadership provided
by practical politicians" the
league declares it's intention OF
bringing into action a new
force of thinkers. 1t believes
that logically it may turn to
recognized educational leader
ship, appealing there for an
authoritative Interpretation OF
economic trends.
Prominent educators have
been asked to join in promot-
ing a new realism in the Unit
ed States dealing with facts
rather than political fictlons.
The league proposes to make
available to the public through
the press all replies received
on such questions as, for in
stance:
(which trends since the
World War do you believe to
be the most disquieting:
Does hope for permanently
improved Industrial conditions
rest in governmental or some
form Of private action?
What is likely to be the po-
litical and social effect of gov
ernmental subsidies to large
groups of citizens suchsas tar
ifs, pensions, reconstruction
loans to banks, railroads and
farmers?
would legitimate business
be in any stronger position if
the purely speculative gam
bling activities were elimi-
mated?
Have we too much or not
enough government interior
ence in business?
'Has individualism failed as
a vital force in the develop
ment of this country along de-
sirable lines? If so, what is
to take it's placer"
The sole purpose of obtain
ing ideas of leading educators,
the league says, is to promote
a more serious public interest
in the pending national cleo
ton, not that one party may be
favored above another, but
that voters everywhere may
approach the election with
some thought as to their re-
sponsibility as citizens of the
United States rather than as
adherents of a political party

Crane, dove, heron and duck are
among birds of historic times which
resemble the fabulous birds of an

Chaldeans left behind them a bird
with sharply curved beak. Its long
wings, outspread, look like two fine
toothed combs. There is the fantasy
bird of the HopI Indian artist.
Round and fat, with a small head,
ne fantasy bird Is reflected In the
art of Ceylon, Peru and Japan.
Egypts thin-legged heron and Per-

Into song and story.

Even Primitive Peoples
Had Reckoning Systems

There have been systems Of reck-
oning time found among the rec
ords left by the most primitive peo-
pies. Well regulated systems exist
ed in the Egyptian, Babylonian,
Syrian and many other early ma
tions. The Roman and Greek cal
endars were taken from the Egyp-
tian, Babylonian, PhoenIcian. The
Julian calendar was derived from
these and from the ancient Roman
calendar and was proclaimed about
b. G. 46. Pope Gregory in 1886 A. d.
authorized the revision OF the Julian
calendar, which was adopted by the
Roman Catholic countries, but not
by Great Britain or America until
1852. BY this time there was a va
rance between the calendars OF
those nations and those adopting
the Gregorian calendar at the ear
lier date, necessitating an adjust
ment Of IL days. The Gregorlan
calendar has now been adopted by
practically all the Christian nations
and for business purposes by such
nations as Japan and China.
