I met a hobo in the road And heard him loudly laugh; The way hit) spirits overflowed ' , Near split his head in half. "Why thus rejoice In merry voice?" I asked the man in glee. "Why every body must settle a tax And all say the burden is breaking their backs! You, Ye taxing the careful and taxing the lax, But nobody's taxing me!" , His clothes were ragged and his face Hod hunger on it writ, And yet he moved with airy grace And fairly seemed to flit. . "You have no care?" ,1 asked him there, And gaily answered he: '"They're taxing the poor and they're taxing the rich; The golfers that golf and the pitchers that pitch; They're taxing the tailors who sweatily stitch; But nobody's taxing me!" -..

While you dig deep And wail and weep, .' , Hark to his cadence free: "They're taxing tho wicked and taxing the pure; .

B. Davidhizar, well known Joseph ranchar, is seeking the Republican nomination for joint rep resentative trom union and Wallowa counties. Mr. Davidhizer ds in La Grande today making calls on busi ness and professional men. "Men who are good mixers, jolly good fellows, etc., usually poll a large vote" declared Mr. Davidhizer in an interview this morning. "The voter seldom looks beyond the surface in votmg. tie often ignores qualifica tions of the applicant for the position sought. When the voters mend their ways they will get economy into the legislature. ' James iBIakely, 10 years ago, sheriff of Wallowa county, is in the political game again. He is in Ln Grande to dav and announces that he is an ac tive candidate for the Democratic nomination. "Edgar Marvin is a' hard man to beat, but I intend to turn the trick," said Mr. Biakely this morning in discussing his candidacy with friends. Sinnott Files Declaration. N. J.

Mun ich Jugend. English Move Much. BY CHAS. P. STEWART. London, April 7. More moving is being done m England today than ever before in the country's history. The movers are the families of married men who expect to leave shortly for on of the war fronts, i Tihs is the end of the "quarter" and as few mid die . class Englishmen can keep up their homes in their absence, they are breaking them up. Furniture movers aire hopelessly swamped. Not only has tihe unpre cedented amount of business over whelmed them, but like everybody else, they have already given most of their able-bodied men to- the colors The elderly, extremely youthful or weakly laborers . are compelled to handle tho work expeditiously. . Prices have jumped corresponding ly. The iremoval of a van I-iod of furniture, for wfhich the charge it normal times was two guineas (about fvy) now costs slo. Great number' of people have found it impossible to get vans on any terms and are requisi tioning delivery wagons and even pushcarts and wheelbarrows. Huge quantities of household goods are being stored. Warehouse iroom, too, is nt premium. It used to be calculated' at the rate of 12 shillings (2.88) per month per van' load. Tb charge now is $3.(50. -Some families are selling their furniture outright. They do so at a sacrifice, but the market is not quite in so depressed a state as might be expected. Recent restrictions on the importation of material for furniture making has led to tho expectation that the demand for this class of mer clr.indise will soon exceed the supply and second-hand dealers are conse quently paying fairly liberal prices. Owners of antiques really are do ing exceptionally well, owing to or ders from neutral countries, which are rolling in war profits, in expecia tion of just such a situation as the present one. In London tihe big boarding-house centers, like Bloomsbury and South Kensington, are gathering in enorm ous numbers of the refugees. The landladies unquestionably will do well but their profits will be due rather to the heavy volume of their business than to large individual profits. Ths families left behind when the married men go to the front will have enouch to live on meagarly. but not more. I lawyers never were so busy as now, drawing wills for the departing soldiers. Brighten Up Killing Vermin With Gas. Washington, D. C, April 7. Those contemplating moving into a new house and especially those about to reoccupy country homes or rent summer cottages wttmeh may harbor vermin would do well, before they actually occupy these houses, to con s-dor fumigating with hvdrocvanic- acid gas to eradicate bedbugs and other posts. This gas, os well as the sodium cyanid from which it is made. however, is one of the most poison ous substances known and the inhala tion of a few (breaths of the gas will result in death unless the victim be promptly rescued.

C. PENNEY CO. those contemplating its use should first read carefully Farmers1' Bulletin 699, 'Hydrocyanic-acid Gas Against Household Insects, recently issued by the Department. This bulletin, by L. f. Howard and C. H. Popence, de scribes in detail the manner in which the gas ds manufactured and used and the precautions whidh must be taken to avoid accident. Hydrocyanic-acid gas, h owever, is one of the most efficacious agents in ridding households of such pests as bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, clothes moths, etc. Rats and mice, when exposed to 'its fumes, run out of their holes into the open and die there. There is thus no subsequent annoyance from dead irodents in the walls and under flooring. , Even when only one room of a house is to 'be fumigated, the bulletin says, the entire house must be va cated and so, closed and marked with signs that everyone is kept out. The windows in such a house must ' be equipped with ropes so that they can be opened from the outside when the fumigation is done. If the house is close to another, especially if its win dows are below those in an adjoining house, care must be taken to protect neignpors. mis is especially neces sary in tne case ol a house in a row, particularly if the partitions separat ing houses are not tight, or if its attic or roof air spaco communicates with those in the neighboring houses. For these reasons, in the case of summer cottages at beaches, it is safest and easiest to fumigate before the family or neighbors have moved in, when there is plenty of time to air the house completely after it "has been treated. authority should not prove a success. Such an institution carrying1 tho credit of the state would soon become an attractive depository for the sav ings of the general public and is would unquestionably accumulate in a very short tinje millions of deposits. It will be said that such an enterprise- would result in the state tres passing upon the domains of private banking. This may be true 'but there are times when the best interests of the- few must give way to- the best interests of the many. While the State's 'Bank would of course attract deposits now lying in other banking institutions the money would after be ing loaned to the farmer pass to the regular channels of trade and back to the '.banks as commercial deposits. Any loss in deposits would be more than offset by the benefits which would come to the whole state through the stimulus which would thus be given to rural growth and development.
