Forru of Habit. A young man, recently from Port land, is doing soliciting for a local firm. At the close of his first day's work ho turned in an expense slip, "car fare, 25 cents." One of tho funny things about this campaign Is tho first-hand informa tion concerning Roosevelt's move ments as given out by the Taft head quarters. Considering the north pole scrap it is Indeed a hero who would go out and deliberately stumble on the south one. - . With both poles discovered scien tists may now turn their thoughts upwards and discover the high cost of living. Men of untold wealth are common; ask the assessor.

Iloosuvelt Is the man we want In the presidential chair; Let him use a new big stick On tho grafters everywhere. Itoosovelt Is the man wo need To ndvnnco the people's cuus; Ho knows how to deal with crooks, Stop their gchomos with strlngont laws. Roosevelt is tho man to choosp For another term of years; Ho could serve tho people host, Save their souls from shedding teurs. Roosevelt is the ablobt man Undo Sum could liavo In power; Ho would rule his subjects well, Fight their battles evory hour. J. G. C, In Asliland Tidings. To Colonel (jOCtllillH.

TAXING it jjenerully, there is probably no more loosely conducted industry in (he country than the egi- and poultry business, broadly speaking, it is not managed as a business at all. It is something that attaches itself to the farm as a mere incident, "something for the women to look after," when they have time; even from them it often receives little thought or attention; its surplus product is gathered and sent to market in a haphazard way. and vet the individual poultry yard contributes toward a traffic amounting in the United States alone to .fli'JU.UUU.UUU an nually, says the Christian Science Monitor. 'Pile poor handling of eggs has resulted in enormous losses, and the subject has for some time past been re ceiving the attention of the bureau of animal industry. A possible solution of the problem was reached through the recommendation that associations of egg buyers be formed. The experiment was tried in Kansas, with the cooperation of the state authorities, of fixing prices on a quality basis only. It is held that this has resulted in a great improve ment, and, according to an authority, "the best evidence of its success is seen in the fact that the movement has now spread into other states." There has in recent years been a great increase in the number of egg and poultry farms, and many grocers are now making a specialty of their products. They take, especially at first, a considerable risk in doing so. as to most people eggs are eggs, and it is difficult to obtain a higher price for those guaranteed to be fresh than for those simply said to be so. One of the suppliers of some of the richest people in a neighboring city is quoted as saying that he would lose most of his trade should he charge the prices that would enable him to handle the skilfully man aged egg-farm product. The price of the inferior egg makes the price of the superior. Xow, what is going to help out this situation AVhat is going to make it an object for the average fanner to pay greater attention to the poultyv vardi An easier. more direct system of dealing with the retail dealer and censumer: that is, a better system of distribution. If the farmer can only reach the consumer, or. at least, the retailer, quickly and cheaply, he will get a better price for his eggs and poultry, and the poultry and pgg branch of his business will become more important to him. "EXCISE TAX" BILL PRESENIEB TO OFFSET FREE MAR REVENUE LOSS WASHINGTON', L). C.

The report says that the tax pro posed is not an income tax and there fore will not be affected by the su preme court decision. An income tax would be favored, says the report, were it not for the doubt ns to its constitutionality. As nn argument to show that the bill is not proviiliti;: for an income tax, the report says that the propos ed excise tax is merely "an extension S ON ARGUMENTS CHICAGO, March M.--John S.
