__GUARDING THE TONGUE.
If each of us as we pass through life,
‘Would bridle and curb the tongue,
And speak of only the pleasant things
To be said of every one,
What a wonderful difference there would
be
Between this world of ours
And the paradise it might become
With all pathways strewn with flowers.
How surely a little reflection
Will show us as plain as the day
The mistakes we made when we hastily
Allowed our tongues full sway.
When the day is done and we think it o'er,
Al, me! that it should be true—
There are few of us who can honestly say
There is nothing we would undo.
Too often the faults we clearly see
In others are faults of our own—
And those who dwell in houses of glass
Should be wary in casting a stone.
Se, have charity, much charity,
The loveliest virtue of all,
And look well to the member unruly,
For it’s prone to slip and fall.

The Art ef Listening.
I know a woman who never under
any circumstances listens to what
another person is saying.
She even goes so far as to finish
one’s sentences for one, and that is a
privilege only accorded to friends.
When she enters the room the possi-
bility of discussion dies. The conver-
sation becomes an uninterrupted mon-
olague.
It is a form of egotism that afflicts
a great many people in a lesser form,
and apart from the fact that one los-
es half the joy of life by being unable
to listen, it seems to me to be appall- |
ingly bad taste. :
Other people’s ideas are often won-
derfully illuminating. But if we go
through life airing our own opinions
and ‘fiever giving other people a
chance to express theirs, it is highly
improbable that we shall benefit by
them.
It. is a very large part of a real ca-
pacity for friendship—the art of sym-
pathetic silence. §
If speech is silver, silence is cer-
tainly golden, on some occasions.
If we would only realize it. Any-
. body, almost, except the sworn ego-
tist, can listen unintelligently, but to
listen intelligently requires sympathy
and understanding.
If you are always on the lookout
for something worth hearing, you are
almost sure to hear it—from some-
body, as you go about your rather
dreary domestic or office round.
An atmosphere of sympathy causes
the most humble person to expand, as
it were, intellectually.

. §,_ Making Yolks White,
A scientific poultry breeder in Italy
has succeeded in producing eggs with
perfectly white yoks.
It appears that the yellow color of
an ordinary egg-yolk, which is some-
times intensified to a bright reddish
hue, is due to a pigment called “caro-
tin.” The same pigment gives to car-
rot their familiar hue, and hence the
name bestowed upon it.
The yellow legs of Leghorn chickens
and of some other breeds, owe their
color to carotin, which, as it would
seem, is a rather common coloring
substance in nature. There is much
of it in corn and in the green feed |
supplied to poultry.
The experimenter found that by en-
tirely eliminating carotin from the
food given to his chickens he was able
to produce Leghorn hens of the
white variety with white shanks and
white beaks, and the yolks of the
eggs they laid were white.

THE CROW FAMILY.
When we hear the raven spoken of
as “bird of ill omen,” we have but to
recall that ravens fed Elijah. And
the ebony bird is related to our com-
mon crow and much resembles him in
all but size, extraordinary intelligence,
appetite for every good thing, like us
humans, and, unlike humans, for
everything not so good, and for their
sociable habit of neighborliness and
delight in villages of nests.
_———
The fish-crow, magpie, rook, and
joy all belong to the same family as
the raven, and as our common Crow
that holds melting-weather confer-
ences every spring and appears to em-
ulate the country people with its town
meetings.
Although so friendly with neigh-
bors and building handy to one anoth-
er, the crow family is by nature a con-
tradiction, for it steals from the fel-
low across the limb. But let any bird
not inclined to this cousinly list un-
ER
dertake to build or even enter the
rookery, and he will be driven thence.
And next year they will nest in the
same village in the tallest tree-tops,
the parents and grandparents up to
many generations, revamping their
former homes, while the newly paired
couples build new from the founda-
tions.
It is a touching fact that while the
female hatches the five brown-spotted
blue-green eggs, her mate industrious-
ly moils to feed her. And no human

father is more distressed at signs of
a foe upon the threshold than is the
crow defender when enemies attack
his home. Crows learn to talk almost
as readily as parrots, but are very
suspicious. It has ever been a mooted
question whether crows do more harm
to crops than they do good by the
swarms of vermin they destroy in the
selfsame fields.

TAXES RAISED
BY HARD TIMES
Burden Is Lightest in Communi-

FARMER FEELS THE EFFECT
Is Inclined to Forget, at Times, That
He Is Most Vitally Interested in
Prosperity of Near-by
Cities.
, (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
Taxes are always heavy—to the man
‘who has to pay them—but taxes in
‘Some communities are much higher
than in others. If you have ever
stopped to investigate the matter you
‘have discovered that the lowest taxes
are found in the most prosperous com-
.munities. And there’s a reason.
The prosperous community has the
lowest taxes becat » there is a large
amount of wealth in the community
against which the taxes may be as
sessed. There are prosperous mer:
chants with large stocks of goods up
ron which taxes are levied. Property
values are high and there are thriving
‘industries which pay a large propor:
tion of the taxes.
The higher the property values and
ithe greater the wealth of the commu:
‘nity the lower are the tax levies, for a
[ower tax on each hundred dollars of
valuation is required to produce the
‘necessary revenue for the administra:
'tion of the city and county govern
‘ments. ;
Other Taxes Are Raised.
On the other hand, take a dead town
Property values are low. Merchants
‘stogks are small and they have little
‘money in the bank. Industries whick
ordinarily pay a large part of the taxes
of a community have closed down
There are vacant store buildings whict
‘were formerly filled with stocks ol
‘merchandise upon which. the owners
paid heavy taxes. Who pays the taxes
‘that were once paid by the mechants
‘the manufacturers, the bankers anc
‘the men who had large holdings o!
‘high-priced property! = The taxes tc
conduct the city and county govern
ments, to maintain the schools, to buil¢
and repair the roads must be collect
ed from someone. Who pays them!’
The man who owns his little home or
tne vacant lot or two upon which he
has been planning to build his home
must pay double or triple the amoun'
which he paid in the times when the
town was prosperous, to make up foi
AAAI AIS
«ue ana Chants, the bankers, the manu
facturers and the big property owners
who bore the heaviest burdens of tax
ation when times were good.
| The farmers in the country sur
rounding the town are also among the
| heaviest sufferers from the ebbing of
i the town’s prosperity. A certair
‘amourt of money must be raised bj
i taxation to provide for the expenses
of the county. Roads must be buili
{ and kept in repair. Bridges must bs
; built and maintained. Salaries of
i county officers must be paid. Countj
institutions for the care of the sick
and the poor must be maintained. Ir
counties which contain one or mort
thriving towns, a large proportion of
the taxes for the county are paid by
‘the towns. The greater the wealtk
of the towns and the higher the prop
erty valuations, the lower the tax levy
for the entire county. When the tas
' levy is low the burden placed upon the
farmer is light.
Burden Falls on Farmer.
When the county contains no pros
perous and wealthy towns, the greater
part of the burden of taxation for the
‘county falls upon the farmer. The
‘value of the farmer's property does not
fall in proportion to the value of the
‘property in the town and the higher
tax levy that results from the lower
property values in the towns makes
his taxes higher.
The farmer forgets at times that he
is vitally interested in the prosperity
of “his town.” He thinks that it is up
to the town to take care of itself and
that it is ue to him to take care of
himself and he overlooks that fact that
the prosperity of the town means as
much to him as it does to those who
live in it. The farmer who is inclined
to overlook this fact has only to think
of the matter of taxes and he is likely
to change his point of view for taxes
! ‘are one thing that neither he'nor any-
one else can’escape, and they are one
thing in which the farmer ordinkrily
takes a very lively interest.
How Farmer Can Help.
There is just one way in which the
farmer can best promote prosperity in
the town near which he lives and that
is by spending his money in that town
instead of sending it away to the far-
distant city. Every time the farmer
sends an order to a mail order house
he helps to destroy the prosperity of
his own community and to boost his
own taxes. When he sends a dollar
away from home he gets none of it
back. When he spends a dollar at
home, a part of that dollar comes back
where it is spent to provide a profit-
able market for his products and it
helps the town pay a large part of his
taxes.
The farmer is the one man in the
community, above all others, who
should have no love for the mail order
houses for they are doing more to add
to his troubles than any other one
‘the taxes which are not paid now by
agency.
