He would have every resident assess ed on the basis of the value of the house and lund occupied as a dwelling and would also assess the resident on the number of servants employed. If tho resident dwells in an apartment or hotel, ho would be required to pay tax upon his proportionate sliare of thu valuation of the entire building and the ground on which it stands. Provision is mado for having land lords and hotel keepers make returns for their tenants. Mr. Morawetz sug No ono occupying a dwelling costirig gosts that provision should be made in New York for n $,000 exemption. No one occupying a dwelling cost ing less than that sum would bo re quired to pay anything. Mr. Mora wetz takes tho burden of taxation off the middle-class city dweller, and dumps in onto the shoulders of the rich and tho fnrmer. Kvery farmer would be required to pay according to the valuation of his house and lot, while the festive city dwellers would find somo easy means of getting with in tho exemption. The county court decided not to ap point n county rondmaster until the January term of court. Thero is no immediate need of a roadmaster, and in the meantime the mcmbera of the court will investigate as to the quali fications of appliants. Who is Peter Pan? Ask Sabro Ilros.

Unwind GREENBACKS WORTH . Rkkari) Htfikg Dam Write tf duces Steps far 'Chuge. Richard Harding Da,vis, writing from Paris makes a .few interesting observations. Relative to the changes of a year he stays: Today a man from Mars visiting Paris might remain here a week and not know thb,t this country is waging the greatest war in history. When you walk the crowded streets it is im possible to believe that within forty miles of you millions of men are fac ing each other in a death grip. This is so, first, because a great wall of si lence has been built between Paris and the front, and second, because the spirit of Paris is too alive too resilent, occupied with too many interests fo allow anything, even war, to obsess it. The peoplo of Paris havo accept ed the war as thoy accept the rigors of winter. They may not like the sleet and snow of winter, but they are not going to let it beat them. In con sequence shop windows are again dressed in their best, the kiosks an nounce comedies, revues, operas; in the gardens of the Luxemburg the beds are brilliant with autumn flow ers, the ofa gentlemen have resumed their games of croquet, .the Champs Elysces swarms with baby carriages and at the aperitif hour on the side walks there are no empty chairs At many of the Restaurants it is impos sible to obtain a table. Rut the year of war has brought cer taip changes. The searchlights have (Bsappea-cd. It was found that to the enemy in the air thoy were less of a menace than a guide. So the great shafts of light that with majesty used to sweep the skies or cut a path into the clouds have disappeared. And nearly all other lights have disappear ed. Those who drive motor cars claim the pedestrians are careless the pedes trians protest that the drivers of motor cars arc reckless. In any case to cross a street at night is an adven ture. There are other changes. A year ago gold -was king. To imagine any time or placo whon it is not is diffi cult. Uut today an American twent ty dollar bill gives you a higher rate of exchange than an American gold double eagle. A thousand dollars in bills in Paris is worth thirty dollars more to you than a thousand dollars, In gold. And to carry it does not make you to think you arc concealing a 45 colt. Another curious vagary of the war that obtains now is the sudden disap pearance of the copper sou or what ranks with our penny. Why it is scarce no one seems to know. The generally accepted explanation is that Hie copper has flown to the trenches where millions of men are dealing in small sums. 'But whatever tho rea son, the fact remains. In the stores you receive chango in postage stamps and, on the underground railroad, where the people have refused to ac cept stamps in lieu of coppers, there are incipient riots. Last night at tho restaurant I was given change in stamps and tried to get even with the' house hf unloading them as his tip on the waiter. He protested eloquently. "Letters I never write," he explained 'To write letters makes mo ennui. And yet if I wrote for a hundred years I could not use all the stamps my pat rons have forced upon me." Theso differences the year has brought about are not lasting, and are unimportant. The change that is im-, portant, and which threatens to last i long time, is tho difference in tho sentiment of the French people to wnrds Americans. We lost caste in other ways. Wd supplied France with munitions hxty is a purchasing agent for the gov ernment put it to me the other day, wo are not losing much, money by it mil until the French government pro tested it was found that some of our manufacturers were supplying shells that could not bo persuaded to explode and shoes made of jmsteboard. I havo seen the cross section of a shoe "made in U. S. A." of which 80,000 pairs had been ordered, tho main deck of which' was brown paper. When an entire people, men, women and children, are fighting for their national existence and their individual home and life, to have such evidences of Yankee smart ness foihtod upon them does not mako fur fiimidship.

Pottage Paper Sfees far StUlers, Educating The Rural Dweller The greatness and prosperity of the 50,000,000 people who dwell in small towns and on farms throughout tho country dopends on what thoy are able to learn. Deprived as they are of libraries, the close communion of their neighbors and, frequently, ade quate schools, the young man of the small town and the farm may grow up totally unable to compete with the man who has had better advantages. For the purpose of educating these people, the government is promoting the organization of tho National Ru ral Teachors' reading circle, the pri mary object of which is to educate ru ral teachers. No movement started ment, as education can only be attain ed through educators who are proper ly equipped for their work. The fin al plans are being worked out by the bureau of education in co-operation with an advisory committee of state superintendents, and is now ready to be put into operation so that teachers and. educaors may register at any time Thirty states have joined the circle, and, for the present, only teachers re siding in those states which have ex pressed a desire to co-operate in the work will bo permitted to join. A complete course of reading for teach ers has been mapped out, consisting of non-professional books of cultural value, educatinal classics,, general principles and .methods of education, rural education and rural life problems The reading course is intended to oc cupy two years; although it may be pompleted iq less time. To those who complete 17 .books within two years from the time of registering, will be .warded a National Rural Teachers' Reading Circle certificate.

'Sweety Postmaster SAY "HELLO" When you see a friend in woe, walk right 'up and say, "Hello'l" Say, "Old Brother, howd, yo do; How's the world a usln' you?" Waltz right up, don't be slow, laugh and shake, and say "Helfo!" Slap tHe brother on the back; bring your hand down with a whack. His clothes are poor makes no show, never mind, just say "Hello!" That home-spun shirt may conceal a great strong heart, true as steel; that old coat and shabby vest cuts no ice, but do your best to make him happy hore on earth and to feel that he's of worth. Don't you know that such a chap has every day his sure mishap? All he needs is hearty cheer to make him hupjy while he's here. Don't lit Him think, that the earth was dead against him since his birth. Crack his shell, draw him out; don't let hipi whino, sulk or pout. Mako him toll you all the woes of his heart before he goes. Don't tell him He's a chump but tell him to get up and hump; tell him not to be slow, but get around and say ''Hlelol" I'm alive, what can I do to help myself, as well as you?" Do not wait until he's dead to strew boquets around his head. Nice words spoken are out of place, if not said be fore his face. Make him see that you arc his friend, and will stay such to the end. Yes, tell him now though he's rough :"Why, old brother, you're 'just the stuff this world needs to mako it go; now brace up and cry, ''Hello!" Thero are plenty such about that are worth the digging out. In this way you surely can make him feel that he's a man. He will always think of you as his best friend, tried and true.
