Cannon, pastor of West- minister Presbyterian church at St. Louis, Sunday. “The tax-dodger,’”” Dr. Cannon said, ‘‘sing against the God of truth in that he makes oath to a falsehood. “He sins against his Govern- ment in that he fails to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. “He sins against his fellow- citizens in that by shirking his share of the public burden he im- poses a double burden on his more honest neighbor. ‘The consistent church member will pay the taxes which the civil authorities impose. It is a part of his religious duty to pay tribute to whom tribute is due. “The exposure which has re. cently been made of the way in which many among us evade tax- ation is far from creditable to the community. “Tf it be true, as it is alleged, Mrs. Wizzie Blankenbaker and girls spent Thursday at Jack Walkers.

Such evasion’ is no light matter.’’ —Ex. 240 Pound Pigs. With corn above 50 cts. hogs eat. their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch -your shoats round out into fat hogs in pine months—hogs going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240. pounds. Figure the average feeding and you will see why the B. A.
