This includes milking the cow*, feeding chicken and pig*. xeaing that water »■ in tlie tank*, and attending the farm gi. den.

But 12 montha of war and pra paration for war haa ilona much to ra mova any null impraaaion and now only tha donaaly ignorant or tha ob structionist and agitator from rhoica indulga in any iurh mouthing. The aoloctiva draft haa. workad amnothly and indiacnmjnating nrtpt, pwnbl), in a few laolatml • *»**. The rich man'* Don and lha poor man'i *on; (ha fanner boy and the city rlerk are found in tha training ramp* sharing tha iiim comfor'a or din'on)fori*; tha nam* food and 'ha ■•mi raiment. Tha ona ha* been brought down to the laval of tha other; or one brought up to tha *tandard of tha other, accord ing to ona'« viewpoint. P-* the*" l» no claa*; there i* no diatinction. One ia a* patriotic aa the other and when thay get "over there" they will fight *houlder to ahouldes a* brother with brother for tha defence of tho*« of u* left hare. Referring to thU queation of fight ing and paying the war levy the l.'ni ver*ity New* fitter recently pre ant ed *ome interesting facta and figure* which tho*e in modeat circum tanee* who feel that they are doing more than their share of fighting or paying or both, *hould read. The writer call* it "The Rich Man's War Tax." "The war tuxe* on incom<-- paid by 30 of our riche-t penple thi* year," <ayn, "will be nearly 1120.000,000." The*e figures, it ia >tafed, are taken from the Financial World. which how that oue-foarlh of the total federal war tax will fall on New York city al'.ne, a total a;;gregatni< H00 000,000. Continuing the New* letter say : "The income ta* of John D. Rock feller will he 138,060 000; which is fHM.OOO a day; Jame* B. Duke'.* war tax will be $4,300 a day. "Sixteen men in North Carolina will pay war fates amounting to more than $1,000 a day. "Only >1.000,000 people in the United State* will pay fe<leral income taxes this year; 'Jtf.000,000 will pay nothing in any direct way. "A clone estimate *hows that fewer than 20 people in Orange county will be liable for war t«xea fewer than 20 in a population of 17,000 people. "If this is a rich man's war then the ri'-h men are pnyinif for it—in money, and like the rest of us in men, because no exemption* are allowed under our draft law except for physical unfit ness, for either rich or poor. "And we have yet to hear of any rich man whimpering." ftrpsdlmn . rtarfliOwthanNd-an rc This is a war in which the rich and the poor are sharing the burden equitably as to wealth and equally a* to man-power. And behind the lines the women and the children are doing their part in buying and pushing the thrift stamp and the liberty bond; in producing and conserving. They are the scoond line of defense. Their ■ work is just as important, in a sense, as the man who pays the war tax andj the man who shoulders a rifle. This war is anything but a poor man's; war or a rich man's war. It is every-1 body's war. Got One in Your Home? Capt. Anderson Dana, who has just1 rot married at Plattiiburg, is a grand »on of the journalist Charles A.

Notice to Timber Hen We have orders for 20,000 No. 1. cross ties from White Oak. Post, and Chestnut oak. standard apeoiftcu tions of 7"X8"X8 feet and 6 inches long, when a.. ! »nd 7"X7" hewed, same length as sawed. We also have order for 5,000 No. 2 cross ties, to be any size under the above sizes, down to 6"X7" and length to be the same as for No. ones, also to be from above kinds of oak timber. Almost all timber haulers already know the speci fication and we mention this for those who w.ll be getting out timber this year who have not made ties before. Also all this timber must be sound, all knots smoothed off with the tie and all bark peeled off when either sawed or hewed. A great many haulers lose their grade by measuring with their axe handles and we would ask that x<>u cut a pole exactly eight and one half feet long and make all ties according to this length, and notch it for 7 inches to get face and thickness. At this time we also wish to thank the hundreds of people who sold their timber to us last year and beg to assure them of the same fair and courteous treatment for the coming season. The price, effective February 1st is 60 cents each for No. 1 ties and 50 cents for second class. For Red Oak, Spanish Oak, and all other kinds of oak (except the above mentioned kinds,) also Hickory and Ash we will pay 50 cents for No. l'a, and 40 cants for No. 2's, same specifications as above.
