Real good land can be bought for less than the assessed value, viz: $12.00 per acre, but in in paying off our government em ployees in land, we will value it at $12.00 per acre. — A a good school teacher' can be paid 100 acie s per year, while a college professor will receive 300 acres for 9 months of hard work. An average sheriff will get 400 acres for his day and night prowling, while a nice high way patrolman must make up hTs mind to accept only 350 acre s f.r his riding to and fro, seeking whom he might devour. Our congressmen will each re ceive 1,000 acres and our senators will have to wobble along with only 1,250 acres for' doing what they call work for 4 or 5 or 6 months. A retired army officer must be satisfied with 1,300 acres for his year' of loafing. An ex-soldier, World War, with a $57.50 income a month will be given 60 acres of land in lieu of the present treasury check. _^)ur governors will get 750 acres per'year and so will most of oug'state officers. If Uncle Sam take?*, over the railroads, he will have to pay some of the R. R. presidents 9,785 acres per year, but every 50 acres must have a 50-thousand dollar dwel ling thereon. A prohibition officer will accept a deed for 30 acres per month, including the stills anso- forth located thereon. Supt. C. K. Ackerman, Williston, Prin. M. M.

If we pay our government employees, in cluding our R. F.

If a farmer se'.l s his cotton cheap, he he wants cheap meat. If he gives Kis wheat away—as he is at present do ing— he wants cheap cigaiette s and overalls. If a laborer gets low wages, he wants low rents, low gas, low street car fare s and low bread. If a merchant can make a profit, he doesn’t want to pay high prices for his insurance, truck repairs, and elec tric lights. Folks don’t understand what it is that holds many necessities of life up while other necessities.-that they grow and make—are not w’orth the water that it took to produce them. I ain’t saying that railroads and pow er plants and telephony rates and a few other rates are too high—but I do say that they are so high the public can’t afford to pay them, and that’s why they ain’t doing more business with one another.

Knoxville, Tenn.—The Great Smoky mountains, near here, now a national p;rrk, J»a veritable “Noah’s Ark." con taining animal life in every form, abounding in 6<X> miles of streams suf ficiently large for fishing, on the land, and in the air. The Great Smoky mountains faunal survey, being conducted under the auspices of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, in the “Smokies,” as they are locally known, is revealing animals not known to exist in the Smokies, un known because the Smokies have never been visited by many scientists until recently, especially because the Smokies are believed to be the old est mountains In the world, probably the birthplace, ages ago. of many varie ties of animal life native to North America. Not only are the Smokies the oldest mountains but here the Appalachian range bulks out to its greatest width and rises to its “highest altitude,” the main ridge being an average of a mile high, with Clingman’s Dome rising 6.642 feet above sea level. The Smokies rise suddenly from the Tennessee river valley, from a water level base, of 1,300 feet, to 5,000 and 6,000 feet skyline. The faunal survey has found ani mals usually found In all levels from 1,300 feet to 6.000 feet, but there seems to be three distinct animal life zones in. the Smokies, the northern, from 6,000 down to 3.000. the eastern from 3,000 to 2,000 and the southern from 2,000 feet down. Especially interest ing, the faunal survey found was that animals on the higher reaches of the Smokies have no relatives nearer than In Canada, and. as the Smokies were cut off during the glacial period, the animals in the Smokies of the same species as In Canada. Jiave developed a different form in trfe Smokies. In fact, their form is so Afferent as to have really areated different specie*.
