DOLLAR
CONGRESS DECREES DOLLARS IN
DULGING IN LUXURIES MUST
FIRST SALUTE THE FLAG.
War Revenue Tax of $105,000,000
Levied?Beer Bears Brunt of
Burden.
Congress lias levied a war tax of
$1U"? .000,000 to offset a similar amount
of loss on import revenue due to the
European disturbances and of this
amount bt*er is the heaviest
contributor, having been assessed ap
proximately $.">0,000,000; a stamp tax on
negotiable instruments, it is estimated,
will yield $31,000,000; a tax on the
capital stock of banks of $1,300,000
and a tax on tobacco, perfumes, thea
ter tickets, etc., makes the remainder.
Congress has decreed that the
brewer, the banker and the investor
must shoulder the musket and march
to the front; that milady who would
add to her beauty must first tip Uncle
Sam, and a dollar that seeks pleasure
3iust first salute the Hag; that Pleas
ure ana front?me twin uerues ui
many wars?shall fight the nation's
battles and by an ingeniously ar
ranged schedule of taxation congress
has shifted the war budget from the
shoulders of Necessity to those of
Choice and Gain, touching in its
various ramifications almost every line
of business.
All hail the dollar that bleeds for
its country; that bares its breast to
the fortunes of war and risks its life
to preserve the stability and integrity
of the nation's credit.
The market place has always been
a favorite stand for war revenue col
lectors. i ne iruuei is a sicai
cial patriot. His dollar is the first to
rally around the star-spangled banner
.and the last to hear the coo of the
dove of peace. He is called upon to
buy cannon; to feed and clothe the
boys in blue and each month cheer
their hearts with the coin of the
realm. Men can neither be free nor
brave without food and ammunition,
and money is as important a factor
in war as blood Many monuments
have been erected in honor of heroes
slain in battles, poems have been writ
ten eulogizing their noble deeds and
the nation honors its soldiers while
they live ^nd places a monument upon
thei; -^ra ^ when they die, but very
little oeen said of the dollar that
bears che burdens of war.
Honor to the Dollar that Beare the
Burdens of War.
All bt>nor to the dollar that an
swers the call to arms and, when
the battle is over, bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lays a
.wreath upon the graves of fallen
heroes and cares for the widows and
nrnhnns
All honor to the industries that
bend their backs under the burdens
of war; lift the weight from the shoul
ders of the poor and build a bulwark
around the nation's credit.
All honor to those who contribute
to the necessities and administer to
the comforts of the boys who are
marching; cool the fever of afflicted
soldiers and kneel with the cross be
side dying heroes.
A dollar may fight its competitor in
business, industries may struggle for
supremacy in trade and occupations
may view each other with envy or
suspicion, but when the bugle calls
they bury strife and rally around the
flag, companions and friends, mess
mates and chums, all fighting for one
flag, one cause and one country.
ine luxuries in ure nave always
been the great burden-bearers in gov
ernment. We will mention a few of
them giving the annual contributions
to the nation's treasury: Liquor, $250,
000,000: tobacco, $103,000,000; sugar,
$">4,000,000; silks, $15,500,000; dia
monds, $3,837,000; millinery, $2,479,
000; furs, $2,024,000 and automobiles.
$S70.000. We collect $665,000,000 of
internal and custom revenue annually
and $150,000,000 of this amount classi
fies as luxuries, and to this amount
we should add the $100,000,000 war tax
now levied.
The war tax is immediately effec
tive. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! the
industries are marching $100,000,000
strong and beneath the starry flag
they will fill the treasury again while
they snout, "Hurrah for Uncle Sam!"
In every field of human activity the
demand for more competent men and
women is growing every dav. Espe
cially so in agriculture.

bet, and the farmer who has none is '
carrying a heavy nandicap on the j
road to success.

Grimmick began away back in Sep
tember to boast to his friends about j
the oysters. It was so hot that he !
could scarcely raise a flicker of in- j
terest by relating how Albert Mac
Shane, who had moved to Texas, was
going to ship him some gulf oysters
during the winter.
"They're oysters that are oysters!"
Grimmick always added. "None of i
your measly little eastern things, but
big, fat ones, the size of a saucer, j
And flavor! Say, if you haven't ever
eaten a gulf oyster you don't know i
uh?t vou're talking about! They?" |
"Let's go and get something cold to
drink," the person to whom Grimmick
was talking would interject about here,
taking off his Panama hat to mop his
steaming forehead.
Later in the fall people began to be
tray an interest in Grimmick's oysters.
They listened and they heard so much
about those glorified bivalves that most
of them would have recognized the
barrel on sight. No matter how dis
guised, it would have been impossible
for that barrel to deceive the eyes of
Grimmick's friends. Persons of deep >
designs brought Grimmick new recipes I
for cooking oysters and artfully i
showed him their wholehearted disin- j
terestedness. Not that they expected ,
to get any of the oysters, but natural
ly they took a neighborly Interest. It
might be a big barrel.
Even Grimmick when he first gazed
upon it was a trifle appalled at the
size of the barrel. MacShane must
have misunderstood and ^nt him a
young hogshead. Or else e crop of
gulf oysters was unusually large.
"Beauties!" cried Grimmick when
he got the barrel open. "I can scarce
ly wait to get at them!"
The Grimmick family had raw oys
ters and oysters grilled that mgni ror
dinner and all next day Grimmick
made a nuisance of himself telling
every one how good they were. He
issued no general invitations, how-1
ever, for people to run in and take
home a pailful of the gulf treasures. |
Consequently, comments were bitter,
on his trail.
"Selfish brute!" was the universal
opinion. "It's as bad as though he
owned an automobile and never took
any one,out for a ride!"
It really Is amazing how far oysters
will go. After the Grimmicks had en
joyed oysters stewed, scalloped,
panned and fried to their hearts' con
tent they saw no appreciable shrink
ing of the barrel's contents. There
were just about as many oysters as
before.
Grimmick said he thought he'd take |
some down to the office for his part
ner. Mrs. Grimmick said that as
she was going over to Sister Nells'
that day she might as well take some
along. The next day she carried some j
across to the neighbors on either side
of them. That evening Grimmick sur
veyed the scalloped oysters set before
him and frowned slightly. He said;
they looked fine, but he believed if
Mary would fry him some of the'
breakfast bacon he'd rather have it. J
The following morning he said he
thought it was a mistake not to share
their good fortune with their friends .
and that he would speak to Reekman
and Dundle and Buckle on the train
and tell them to stop by that night
on their way home and get some.
The weather turned warm just then.
"It'? a shamp to waste those oysters," i
Grimmick said when he saw the mer-1
cury in the outside thermometer
standing at 48 degrees. "I should
think you would remember some of
your friends to whom gulf oysters
would be a real treat!"
"Why, I have been giving them
around," confessed Mrs. Grimmick. j
"Somehow, that barrel's terrible hard
to empty!"
In another week Grimmick was ped
dling oysters frantically. The neigh- j.
bors' dogs feasted on them and all.
the cats for blocks about congregated (
daily on Grimmick's back steps be- j
cause the cook fed them freely on
oysters. Presently whenever Grim
mick hove in sight the men would (
raise protesting hands and say they j
were obliged, but they did not want
any oysters.
Mrs. Grimmick, five minutes after
taking a quart or so over to the next
door neighbor, saw the maid march
out to the garbage can and empty out
the gift. It then dawned on her that
it was the fifth time in a week she
had bestowed oysters on that family.
Still, she felt irritated. Further, the
mere sight of the barrel irritated her,
for a good many oysters remained.
Rather fearfully, she served oysters
that night at dinner. It was the third
time that week. Grimmick exploded
and arose from his chair and beat his
fist upon the table. He gave orders that
if he lived to be one hundred and ten
sne was never uaaer any conuiuuuo iu
place oysters upon his table again.
Then, calling for the spade and an ax,
he proceeded to the back yard. After
excavating a large hole he buried the
rest of the oysters and chopped up
the barrel for kindling.
"There!" Grimmick said exultingly
as he stalked into the house. "Get
on your things and we'll go downtown
and get an honest beefsteak!"
Expected Too Much.

Nation Rings With Cries of Stricken j ,
Industry. t
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Union.
King Cotton has suffered more from 1 j
tne European war iua.ii any umc? a.&- j
ricultural product on the American ! ,
continent. The shells of the beliiger- j ]
ents have bursted over his throne, 1 t
frightening his subjects and shatter- j
ing his markets, and, panic-stricken, I
the nation cries out :'God save the i
king!" | ?
People from every walk of life have ^
contributed their mite toward rescue \
work Society has danced before the <
king; milady has decreed that the ?
family wardrobe shall contain only ^
cotton goods: the press has plead ?
with the public to "buy a bale"; ]
bankers have been formulating hold- j
ing plans; congress and legislative <
bodies have deliberated over relief i
measures; statesmen and writers
have grown eloquent expounding the ^
Inalienable rights of "His Majesty" j
and presenting schemes for preserv- ]
ing the financial integrity of the <
stricken staple, but the sword of Eu- ]
rope aas proved mightier than tne pen c
of America in fixing value upon this <
product of the sunny south. Prices
have been bayoneted, values riddled ]
and markets decimatcd by the battling j
hosts of the eastern hemisphere until i
the American farmer has suffered a i
war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale )
of cotton brave enough to enter a <
European port must pay a ransom of
half its value or go to prison until the ]
war is over. <
Hope of the Future Lies In Co-opera- 1
tlon. 1
The Farmers' Union, through the 1
columns of the press, wants to thank ]
the American people for the friend- '
ship, sympathy and assistance given 1
the cotton farmers in the hour of dis- A
tress and to direct attention to co- i
OptJIULlve llieiuuua Iictcooai j c*_r - c
manently assist the marketing of all
farm products. ;
The present emergency presents as
grave a situation as ever confronted
the American farmer and from the
viewpoint of the producer, would seem
to justify extraordinary relief meas
ures, even to the point of bending the
constitution and straining business
rules in order to lift a portion ot the
burden off the backs of the farmer,
for unless something is done to check
the invasion of the war forces upon
the cotton fields, the pathway of the
European pestilence on this continent
will be strewn with mortgaged homes
and famine and poverty will stalk over
the southland, filling the highways of
industry with refugees and the bank
ruptcy court with prisoners. j
All calamities teach us lessons and ^
the present crisis serves to illuminate 3
the frailties of our marketing meth- 1
ods and the weakness of our credit *
system, and out of the financial an- *
guish and travail of the cotton farmer
will come a volume of discussion and (
a mass of suggestions and finally a *
solution of this, the biggest problem
in the economic life of America, if,! 1
indeed, we have not already laid the
foundation for at least temporary re- "
lief. 11
More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture.1
Farm products have no credit and 1
perhaps can never have on a perma
nent and satisfactory basis unless we *
build warehouses, cold storage plants,
elevators, etc., for without storage and 1
credit facilities, the south is com-1
pelled to dump its crop on the market
at harvest time. The Farmers' Unions ^
in the cotton producing states have
for the past ten years persistently ad-1
vocated the construction of storage j
facilities. We have built during this:
period 2,000 warehouses with a ca
nnnitvnf nnnrnvfrnntolv 4 flOfl (Iflfl hnlon '
~ ? . a
and looking backward the results
would seem encouraging, but looking
forward, we are able to house less
than one-third of the crop and ware
houses without a credit system lose
90 per cent of their usefulness. The
problem is a gigantic one?too great
for the farmer to solve unaided. He
must have the assistance of the bank
er, the merchant and the government.
In production we have reached the
high water mark of perfection in the
world's history, but our marketing
methods are most primitive. In the
dawn of history we find agriculture
plowing with a forked stick but with
a system of warehouses under govern
mental supervision that made the
Egyptians the marvel of civilization,
for who has not admired the vision of
Joseph and applauded the wisdom of
Pharaoh for storing the surplus until
demanded by the consumer, but in
this age we have too many Joseph.-:
who dream and not enough Pharaohs
who build.

PLANTING PENNIES

"Hello, Hal?anything wrong?"
"Nothing but what money can cure."
"H'm!" observed the first speaker
is he proceeded on his way. "I don't

bought that Hal Sturges was the last '
nan in the world to entertain such a '
allacy." 1
The soliloquizer, however, did not *
enow that his usually bustling, hope
'ul young friend was under a pretty
=evere strain at the present time,
.lope, ambition, love, seemed all about
.0 wither away because of money and
ts urgent need.
Many years previous Hal's father
lad loaned Da"11 Eastman a large
sum of money. Things went wrong
vith Eastman. Then they went bet
ter. He was honest and he turned
jver to his creditor his iittle mort
gaged farm at Grayton, with the pro
viso that he was to be its tenant at
i fixed rental while he lived. Finally
Sastman wrote to Hal's father that
le would be able to square the whole
iebt, some ten thousand dollars, with
n a year.
Hal's father died before the year
vas up. Hal wrote to Mr. Eastman,
lsking what the prospects as to the
promised money might be. He re
ceived a speedy reply, stating that if
to ivnnM come down to Grayton the
)ld account would be settled in cold
;ash.
Hal arrived at Grayton to find that
VIr. Eastman had died the day before.
search was made for a will. None
>vas found. For money. There was
ione at bank nor in the house. Only
:he old farmhouse was in evidence as
tangible property.
It was a great disappointment to
Hal, all this. He had confidently
counted on the money to start in
Dusiness. He had already invested in
:hat direction. This became a dead ]
oss. He had to go back^to a poor
paying position in the adjoining town.
Then, too, a situation e.olved at the
little farm that distressed him. Dur
ing the last year of his life Mr. East
man had given a home to an orphan
;irl and her little sister?Nellie and
Lois Blynn. The young lady had been
housekeeper and nurse for her old 1
llmoner. He had given her a cow.
some chickens, and the old farm Horse
and carryall. Independently Nellie t
u.-nrkpri nn auite a clientele for
milk and eggs in the neighboring vil
lage.
Usually, Saturdays he ran down to
:he farm.
Upon the day that he felt that
aioney would cure a great proportion
jf his ills, Hal was realizing how
;low was the process in his present
snvironment towards attaining a com
petence. Unknowingly, the vague
:hoilght of being able to ask Nellie to
jecome his life partner had a certain |
placo in his aspirations. ]
He was greeted at the farm ny Nel- ;
ie in her usual bright sympathetic |
nood. He stayed to supper. As usual
ie gave to little big-eyed, wistful Lois,
;he few pennies he never begrudged '
ler. ;

"Why not?" challenged Hal, pleas
intly.
"Because she seems to lose them
ill. It is strange, but she never asks
o go to the village and buy sweet
neats, like ordinary children. The
jennies always disappear mysteri
msly and she never tells where they
jo to."
"Perhaps she has a secret hoarding
)lace?" suggested Hal, with a smile.
He left Nellie and strolled through
he orchard in quest of the truant
:hild. Finally he caught sight of her
>lue frock over near a fence corner.
"Why, what are you up to, little
>ne?" propounded Hal.
Lois looked up with a little an
swering frown.
"Not very nice, being peek-a-boo on
k young lady!" she chided, childishly.
If you want to know, though, I'm
>lanting pennies!"
"Planting pennies!" ejaculated the
laffled Hal.
"Yes, sir. All you give me?in
lere," and she patted the ground.
When they grows, I'se going to pick
vhole baskusfuls off'n the bushes.'
"Whatever put that in your head,
hild?' demanded Hal.
"Gran'pa;" so she had been taught
o designate Mr. Eastman.
"How is that?" pressed Hal.
"Saw him do it, watched him," was
he blunt explanation. "Bags?and
hey chinked. And Jew'lry, and pa
ers. He didn't know I was watching
im. Never growed, though. Guesa
pot was too shady."
"Where was the 6pot, Lois?" pressed
lal eagerly.
She showed him. A bright light of
itelligeiue had flooded Hal Sturges'
lind. Ten minutes later he was view
lg the gr' jnd under an old oak tree
here Lois insisted she had seen
Gran'pa"' "planting money."
"I've been doing some digging," au.
ounced Hal to Nellie somewhat later,
nd he told of his discovery. "A small
jrtune," he explained. "Dear little
,ois, but for her the hidden store
light never have been found. Then."
nd he drew nearer to Nellie with a
lanner that consciously made her flut
jr, "I should not have been able for
long time to ask a question I must

someone who has not seen it, and that
requirement is filled by me. I have

Training Men.
Many employers make the mistake
of never training men themselves, but
depend on men hired from their com
petitors or from other ouiside sources
\'o doubt it may be wise at times to
go outside and get an "infusion" of
new blood." It is sometimes an ab
solute necessity, !or an organization
can become hidebound in methods
Hut on general principles I have no
hesitation whatever in saying if you
want good men who will fit into your
working organization you must be
willing io pay ine price ui uainug
your own men. One of the intangib'e
assets which cannot be set down in
the dollars and cents^olumn and add
ed up and" yet which 'determines th(
figures which will finally appear iij
the profit and loss account, is the
asset of loyalty and good will, and
an employer has no right to expect
loyalty from his men if, when higher
positions cf responsibility are to be
filled, men from the outside are pro
moted over the heads of faithful and
loyal men who often are more com
petent than the man who has fc?en
brought in from "away ever /here" ?
