THE HOLE IN YOUR POCKET

Press dispatches from Washington
state that in the last twelve months
| $7,375, 100000 has been spent, which,
with the $7,1OO,O00,000 that was spent
the preceding year, make a total peace
time record spending of $14 100000
for the past two years. Money has
been spent twice as fast as it has been
collected from the taxpayers. But all
the spendings and all the borrowed
money must eventually be extracted
from the taxpayers pockets.
At the end of the new fiscal year,
it is estimated the national debt will
be approximately $35,000,000,00 or
per capita debt of $27O on every man,
woman and child in the country.
These figures are SO staggering in
size that one cannot grasp them. But
the individual tax bills of various
kinds that will soon be coming due,
can be readily understood by every
taxpayer whose pockets will be emp
tied in order to pay them.
Colonel Robinson, of the Yakima,
Washington, Republic, in answering
a "reactionary" citizen who asserted
that taxpayers should have voice in
how their money is spent and that it
should be spent as economically as
possible, said:
"The idea that tax money should be
spent economically is just as far out
Of date as the other. If tax money were
spent economically, there wouldn't be
more than half of it spent, and that
fact alone is sufficient to condemn the
idea. The prevailing thought is to
spend public funds uneconomically,
so that more funds can be raised and
spent, thus putting more money into
circulation and increasing the purchas-
ing power of the people"
/ Sarcastic as is this paragraph of the
Colonel's, it states a distressingly
plain truth. Its lucidity is positively
! fawless. Some day the people will
wake up to the fact that they pay the
bill for all the political presents" that
are given to them.

A BIG JOB

The Treasury's ilver-buying policy
has encountered adversely.
AS the price of silver reached new
heights, it became profitable for per-
sons living in some foreign countries
to melt silver coins and sell them as
bullion to the American government.
Further, the high price offered by this
government tended to draw silver away
from silver-standard nations, such as
China, thus imperiling their monetary
stability. Foreign protest resulted.
In addition, the policy led to a great
deal of speculation abroad, which en-
riched the spectators, but did the
United States no good.
AS a result, it seems that the Treas
ury will have to make changes in its
silver program-it has already re-
duced it's buying-in order to prevent
prices from going higher. Various
metal experts are now supporting the
Dies plan, under which the Treasury
would not buy silver in the world
market for six months or a year, and
thereafter would buy only from ma
tons which agreed to reciprocate by
buying an equivalent amount of our
surplus commodities. The Dies plar
applies only to foreign silver, anc
would not affect Treasury buying Of
new domestic-mined silver.
The great problem presented by sill.

Saul Amounted King of Israel

There was mighty man of power
among the Benjamites whose name
was Kish, the son of Abel, the son of
Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son Of
Aphiah, and he had a son whose name
was Saul, a choice young man, and
goodly: there was not among the chill
dren of Israel goodlier person than
he. From his shoulders and upward he
was higher than all the people.
What trifes sometimes form the
turning points of human lives. Thus it
happened that the straying of his faith
er's asses led Saul to seek Samuel, the
man of God, who had been commits
stoned by the Lord to anoint him as the
first king of Israel.
Let US see how the Lord was leading
Saul by way of the commonplace to
throne: On the morning that Kish
missed the animals from their corral
he called Saul and said; "Take now one
of the servants with thee, and arise,
go seek the asses" Quickly obedient
to the paternal command, Saul began
his search, going through Mt. Ephraim
and thence through the land of Shall
isha and on through Shalim, Benjamin
and Zuph, but all to no avail. The asses
could not be found. Thea Saul said to
| his servant, with commendable filial
solicitude, Come, let US return, lest
j.. my father leave caring for the asses
and take thought of u.s."
The servant, however, remembered
that a man of God dwelt in the city
near their present position, and know
ing him to be seer, and an honora-
BILE man, whose words came to pass,
suggested that they visit this man who
might indicate the way they should go.
Saul demurred, because of not having
a suitable present to bring the man as
reward for his sooth-saying. But the
servant had in his possession the
fourth part of sheckel of silver which
he proposed to give the man of God to
tell them their way. The custom of con-
sulting the prophets in those days was
referred to in Israel as going to the
seer" for that was the popular title of
the prophet in the olden times.
Then said Saul to his servant: "Well
said; come, let US CO." So they went
unto the city where the man Of God
was. On their way up the hill they met
young girls going out to draw water,
of whom they asked for the seer. The
girls told the young men where to find
the seer, admonishing them to make
haste, as sacrifice would be held that
day in the high place, and the people
would not eat until he came to bless
the sacrifice. AS they entered the city
they met Samuel about to go to the
high place. The Lord had told Samuel
in his ear the day before Saul came
that he was sending him young man
! of the tribe of Benjamin, whom he
should anoint to be Captain over Is
rael. Now when Samuel saw Saul, the
Lord said until him, Behold the man
whom I spake to thee of; this same
: shall reign over my people"

ALL SHOULD PAY

In a recent newspaper article, Wal
ter Lippman, the distinguished pub
licist, pointed out that any sound ma
tional taxing system must see to it
that every citizen, no matter how large
or small his income, pay something in
direct taxes.
Under present conditions, only a
minority of citizens pay any direct
taxes whatsoever. And that has given
rise to the highly erroneous belief that
the majority of citizens are free from
taxation-that the services of gov
eminent come to them for nothing, be-
ing paid for by the taX-paying minor
ity.
That attitude has been responsible
for the amazing Indifference of the
average citizen toward wasteful, ex-
travagant and over extended govern
ment. He feels that governmental
spending means nothing to him, so far
as paying his share of the bill is con-
cerned; that deficits are the worry of
others, and that increasing appropria-
tions cannot damage his pocketbook-
and may benefit it.
AS a matter of fact, the majority of
citizens, who pay no direct taxes, pay
the great bulk of government costs
indirectly. They pay them in higher
costs for commodities of all kinds
shoes, electricity, amusement, trans
portation, everything they use. They
pay more rent, more for insurance,
more for medical and hospital care
because the taxes levied against bus
inesses and corporations must be
passed on to the consumer. 1t is folly to
talk of industry absorbing" taxes
the user of product or a service al
ways foots the bill in the long run.
If, as Mr.. Lippman suggests, every
income were subjected to some direct
taxation-even if it amounted to only
a dollar year, every citizen would get
an inkling of the real meaning Of gov
eminent spending. And when his small
tax doubled or trebled he would know
what it meant. He would realize his re-
sponsibility and his personal interest
in every public appropriation that is
made. And that would mark the begin
ming of an aggressive, nationally
backed movement to force government
to be efficient, conservative, econom-
ical.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

The great interdenominational camp
meeting began at Mountain Lake Park
and immense crowds were in attend

A news item proclaimed that the
first bicycle used in the United States
was made in Hagerstown. 1t was built
and used by Harry and George Heyser
in 1867.
Farmers were greatly bothered with
multitudes of potato bugs and it was
estimated that there would be only
one-third of crop. Farmers were US

young men ran and fetched him from
thence, and caused him to stand among
the people over whom he lowered
head and shoulders in the splendor of
his kingly stature. And Samuel said
to all the people, "See we him whom
the Lord hath chosen, that there is
none like him among all the people.
And all the people shouted and said,
God save the king"
Then Samuel prepared brief con-
stitution for the government of the
kingdom, after which the people were
sent back to their homes to take up
once more the peaceful pursuits of
Irsael when the world was much
younger and life far less complex
thing than it is today. And Saul also
went home to Gibeah; and there went
with him band of men whose hearts
God had touched.

The corner stone for a new Luth-

An observer stated that up to July

of 1914.
For the first time in many years
there were no conveyances being OPP
Grated to and from Mountain Lake

Items of interest were copied from
the Garrett County Herald bearing
date of November 8, 1878, among
them being a reference to a writer
at Swanton who advocated that the
contemplated court house and Jail and
public buildings for the new county of
Garrett be erected at Swanton. An
other item told of the election passing
off quietly with not single brawl
or fight. The vote polled in Oakland
was 1888.

HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS

"Horse and buggy days" were re-
ferred to by the President in press
conference recently.
What's the matter with the "horse
and buggy days? They were pretty
good days as we remember them.
In the "horse and buggy days" a
boy had a job all staked out for him
before he quit school. 1t was arranged
that he go into bank, or blacksmith
shop, or a print shop as the "devil''
or that he would study law or medi-
cine.
He looked forward to the time when
he could Establish himself" in some
business. Perhaps he figured on marry
ing the bankers daughter and moving
into the big stone house with the
fancy hitching post out in front, or
of marrying the editors daughter and
continuing the country weekly as the
"owner and editor" after the passing
of the former publisher.
If he didn't have horse and buggy
he could rent one for an afternoon
and evening for about $3.50. The rub
ber-tired rigs and faster horses cost
more. Once or twice a month you
could show the girl friend a real ev-
ening.
Perhaps you stopped for a glass OF
lemonade, or you took home pint
of ice cream and ate it in the ham,
mock made of barrel slaves on the
front lawn. The parents were always
up to see what time you arrived and
if you didn't leave by 1890 some gen.
tie but pointed hints were passed.
What was wrong with that, says ar
exchange, describing a similar scene
at was happy, peaceful, prosper
Gus and happy America in the horse
and buggy days"

Saul Returns Home

The homeward journey of Saul and
his servant was made to the accom-
paniment of fulfilled prophecy. Samuel
had predicted series of events which
came to pass with faithful precision
in the order named. First he was to
meet two men by Rachel's sepulchre in
the border of Benjamin, who would say
to him: "The asses which thou wentest
to seek for are found, and, 10, thy
father hath left the care of the asses
and sorroweth for you, saying, What
shall l do for my SON."
The next episode of the journey was
the meeting with three men on their
way to Bethel, one carrying three
kids, another three loaves of bread,
and another carrying bottle of wine.
They were to exchange salutations
and give Saul two loaves of bread,
This also was done.
The third episode was the meeting
with a band of prophets with a choir
and instruments, on their way from
worship at the holy place. At their
approach the Spirit of God came upon
Saul, so that he united with them
and also prophesied.
The record further reveals that as
Saul turned away from Samuel, God
gave him another heart; and all those
signs came to pass that day.
Saurs uncle lived near the high
place, and when he learned that he
and the servant had been to see Sam
uel, he was curious to knw what Sam
uel had said. The young man dis
creetly refrained from mentioning his
amounting, though he faithfully re-
ported the other incidents of the jour
ney.
A strange and interesting cere-
mony was soon to take place at Miz-
pah, where Samuel had called ma
tional convention. This convention was
opened by Samuel with an address in
which he reminded the people of their
unfaithfulness, ever charging them
with rejecting God because of their
insistence upon having a king to rule
over them. He then announced that
choice of the king would be made by
lot, eliminating first the tribes, then
the families, coming at last to the
individual. Just how choice was made
is not clearly stated in the Scripture
narrative. Suffice it to say that the
tribe of Benjamin was taken and OF
that tribe the family of Matri, and
finally Saul, son of Kish.
Meanwhile Saul, overcome by mod
esty, and knowing that he had already
been annointed by Samuel for The
royal Office, hid himSe.f among the
stuff. When this became known, the

'The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

After exchange of greetings, Sam
uel told Saul that the asses had been
found three days ago. He also con.
strained him to attend the feast as his
special guest, after which he called
Saul aside to show him the word Of
God. After sending the servant on, SC
that there might be no witness of the
ceremony, Samuel took a vial of oil
and poured it upon his head and kissed
him, and said, SIS it not because the
Lord hath anointed thee to be captain
over his inheritance

Ships Ton Of Turtles
Each Week to Markets

Fergus Falls-The turtle ship
ping business, started on small
scale three years ago by Herman
Erhard, has reached such proper
tions that this gentleman ships a
ton Of turtles each week to east
ern markets. Turtle meat is a de-
licacy much in demand, tasting
something like chicken. One Of
the best methods of catching tur-
ties is the use of a bright light at
night while rowing slowly in a
boat. The reptiles can be quickly
spotted in the water. A net made
from chicken wire and fastened to
a long pole is used to land the
turtles. The easiest time to catch
them is in the fall, when they lie
in shallow water, chilling their
bodies before sinking into the mud
to hibernate for the winter. AS
many as a ton will be found at one
particular spot in the soft mud
of a shallow lake on a fall day.
