Now the auto question ts how many miles can you go on credit? Some men look so cheap they give themselves away Now it's “Watch your pep.” BY DR. WM. FE. BARTON = HERE lived near the little town in which I was born a farmer more than ordi narily prosper" ous. He was in dustrious, hon est and capable, but so, for the most part, were his neighbors Yet he prosper: ed more than most of them. In one particular his success was locally notable, namely, that he seemed always to know in the spring what crop would bring the highest price in the fall. He ro. tated his crops as other farmer did, oats, wheat, corn and so of, but his largest fields were nearly always planted with the grain that bore the highest market price. He would not tell how he did it, saying that if his system became known, it would no longer work When he was an old man he told and L was present when he re vealed his secret. It was this: “I always plant the B for A. trains would you pass in go Answer to yesterday's: He takes OuKeT—Sen Pomerena (D), the goose back; ~saders like Try This on Your Wise Friend A train Jeaves A every morning for B and one leaves It takes 5 days to make the trip. takes the corn over and comes back after the Boone, At least there is food for sena- Heliogabulus, sweetest souls that ever decorated the imperial Roman throne, had his trouble with one of the The Taxation Question It ls now some 40 years since Henry George published the first of bis works on political econo- my. These works have affected the thought of experts more pro- foundly than any ever given to the world with the possible ex: ception of those of Adam Smith, And the central thought of them is @ better system of taxation. Really George preached the re form of society without commun ism, without revolution, without violence, but by gradual steps, and all thru taxation. Forty years ago professors of political economy rejected single tax with scorn, Now one can searcely find a thoughtful one who does not admit the funda mental truth of George's eloquent message. Then the supporters of George were labor men and bah 7 Father = MeGlynn’ Now there is not much agitation of an active sort for the single tax except in Cafffornia And this at a» time when tax. ation is the crucial problem of the age!

It is just as |applicahle to other forms of human endeavor as it is to farming. Some forms of success are won byw following the crowd.
