,Task Ahead of Germany a
Super One.
The famous billion-diillnr indemnity
imposed on Franco by Prussia in 1871
hns certainly come home to roost,
bringing a big brood with it. I
Germany is obligated to pay the I hilly
Allies 20 timps that much within the
next five years. After that there will
he many more billions, the precise
amount being determined by German
ability to pay, over n period of
yeurs. The additional indemnity may,
amount to more than $20,000,000,000.'
Whut the Germans are now concern
ed with, however, is the sum immed
' lately payable. And in order to raise
It they are confronted by a program
v.hich can be described ns nothing less
than finnnciul frightfulness.
Never hns there been anything like
) any more thnn there wns ever any-
h.ing like German military frightful-

says the Good Judge rfc
It's a cinch to get a real
qualify bhzw and save
part of vvnr tobacco
liVo of property, ri'nl nnd personal. The
amount sought Is ns unprecedented ns
the means nf seeking it..
Possessions under SPJoO will not be
touched, save by ordinary taxation.
Above thnt figure the rale of seir.ure
is progressive, rising from 10 to
per cent. The latter rate applies to
properties of $7.10,000 or iriore. Thus
a man owning $750,000 will have lo
BUrrender about $500,000 of it to the
stnte; a man with $: ,000,00(1 must give
up $2,000,000 nf it, etc.
The plan, if formally adopted by the
German parliament, will become, ef
fective as rnpidly ns the properties
ran be liquidated. It will take half of
all the wealth of the rich, and one
third of nil the wealth of Germany.
And thnt is only a stnrt townrd dis
charging the debt to rivlliratlon in

There Are Good Crops In

.Whilif : Ihn, long dry season hits hail
a serious effiHt on crops in generab
there are occasional enses--in fact j
they are quite frequent in which the
grain has not suffered nearly to the
extent thnt hns been estimated. In
the northern portion of the county:
nnd particulnrly. in the neighborhood
of Siimnierville there are many f iel.lr '
of full grain that stand higher thnn
the-fences;, the grain has kept a
fcttnng, deep green, a'nd there Is lut
chance whatever of a total failure. It
may be possible that' such fields will j
not fill to the extent they would with I
more moisture. 1 his will be more ac
curately determined after the. grain
has lieen Uirfeidied, but thciie are hun
dreds of fields in the nortkern portion
of Union county lhut reajly look good
nnd w-ould be classed as satisfactory'
in any normal season.
'flie pi'babilities are t)yit the har
vest in Union covnty will'be something
like it is across the mountains in one'
respect, ami that Is that the jiehl will
be more than the estimate, which is
only based on the fact t.i(, it is haul
ly possible to expect much of a yield
in such a long, hot nnd dry season.
There is noth.ifg now to cliangc the
