THE UNTAXED ONE.
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!"
-.. Ho! all you many-millioned men "
. Bent by assessments' care,
Behold one happy citizen,
With tangled beard and hair!
While you dig deep
And wail and weep, .'
, Hark to his cadence free:
"They're taxing tho wicked and taxing the pure;
. The drivers that kill and the doctors that cure;
The halt and the blind they are taxing, it's sure;
But nobody's taxing me!!'

rendered his decision and submitted to
'the requests of his friends that he

"The interests of Union county will

which David H. B. Davidhizar, well
known Joseph ranchar, is seeking the
Republican nomination for joint rep

"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

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

nomination. "Edgar Marvin is a' hard
man to beat, but I intend to turn the

in discussing his candidacy with
friends.

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. Far this reason

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.
