PAGE 8 atit See the brave hunter! See his big gun! Is it loaded? We'll say it is. You will, too, if the brave hunter gets Sore at you. He packs a wicked weapon. Is it powerful enough to shoot the bad bear? Sure it is, but the hunter isn’t after bear meat. Could he shoot the fox? You bet he could, but he won't. If he intended to, you can bet the wily fox would wipe that smile off his face. The brave hunter isn’t looking for the wild blind pig, either, nor the spotted sugar skunk. In fact, he doesn’t See ‘em at all. He’s bird hunting! But just as he took aim at the little bird on the limb of the tree (To be continued some other time.)

Who Got the 30 Per Cent? An eminent economist takes a year off, runs down miles and miles of statistics, and finally comes up for air with the announcement that the per capita production in. this country was 30 per cent greater in 1919 than it was in ~ 1899; in other words, we were manufacturing, producing, engendering, growing, placing on the market, 30 per cent Tore wealth per person in 1919 than we were 20 years be- fore. , Who is getting the 30 per cent? That’s what gave the economist a distinct perplexity; for, after juggling his hatful of figures, he started out to find out who was gettin,: the extra money and, by golly, nobody was getting it. The worker was only five per cent better off, business was getting about the same profit per dollar; the salaried people didn’t appear to be much ahead of the '99 scale. The economist pretty nearly gave it up, but he finally decided that the farmer must be the lucky one, tho he didn’t discover any figures to prove it; he ar- rived at the farmer by the process of elimination. Well, the process of elimination is about all the farmer has got- ten out of the 30 per cent, as the mortgage and abandoned farm records will sufficiently indicate. Yet it was simple enough to see where about a third of our wealth has gone; it has gone into the maw of war; it has gone into taxes and fixed interest charges on bonds; it has gone into the increased public payrolls today that include one adult in every eight in the nation. Taxes, federal, state, county, city; there’s where your little old 30 per cent has gone, and there is where another 30 per cent is going, unless the nation wakes up and does a lot of fancy cutting. To date we have not felt the pinch of the exorbitant tax increase because we have, so far, paid it out of increased productivity, but we have reached the bounds of our per capita and per acre productivity. From now on our tax increase will come from our savings. ‘ Our guess is that the Pennsylvania man accused of having 14 wives took his divorces for granted.

When is a robin a robin? Answer: When he's born over in Europe and grows to be about two-thirds the size of the chap we call a robin. The bird that amuses us by snatching angleworms baldheaded in our backyards is really a thrush, a true-blue American of the thrush family.
