Editorial Asaodatka Washington, February 5 -- Our national lawmakers are now at the hair- • fulling stage over the methods of tax- ' ation to pay for bounties bestowed with utter disregard of those who eventually pay the piper.

Old Chisholm Trail The old Chisholm tratkwas named after a half-breed Cherokee Indian by the name of Jesse Chisholm, vhi first used the trail in the 1860s to transport supplies for trading with the Indians. It came into prominence as a cattle trail when Joseph McCoy established a catHe market on the old Kansas Pacific railroad at Abilene, Kan., in 1867. Hundreds of thousands of head of cattle were driven north over this trail. Strictly speaking, the real Chisholm trail extended from the southern line of Oklahoma, at the Red River crossing, up through Indian territory, and enter&ed Kansas fiear CaIdwell, Kan.

The opening day of the convention. was given over to* the business of the various cooperative marketing and purchasing agencies set up by Illinois farm bureau members as an effective way of reducing production costs. The audit of each cooperative disclosed that 1935 proved to be a successful year from the standpoint of increased volume of business and profits. At the conclusion of the meeting Earl C. Smith of Detroit, Pike county, was selected for the tenth consecutive time to serve as leader of the 65.000 constructive thinking farmers that comprise the 96 county farm bureaus. - A WORD , TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT Eveifoue ia » Cards thb year.

Call MC WM. SPENCER, Prop. About the fifth dogless day, the house began to take on a slightly haunted feeling. Not enough noise. No scratchr Ing sounds. There was an old swing in the yard where the Skipper was wont to snooze away the afternoons and we hastily gave that to the Salvation Army truck, but it didn't do any good. . ! when the power-loom and spinningjenny displaced hand labor. The proposal is considered a plain threat with little chance of getting anywhere at this time. A Congressional committee is, however, making a study of this technical problem of machines versus workers. The farm relief program has pushed these matters into the background. The debate on agricultural policies will disclose differences between the Democratic and Republican solutions for this vital issue.

The printed hearings of the House Appropriation (Committee, available this week, reveal many of the inside plans of the Administrative agencies for the next fiscal year. In making their demands for money the bureau "Jle's just,' young," the German explained. . "What breed of dog would that be?". "He's a Great Dane."

Government officials aije attempting to lower this loss by ifpng salt as a fire preventive. far-fetched, and was vetoed by all on the way home. Fancy strolling about th.e house and calling plaintively: "Here, Tiger ClifTton Ranger,..come get your pork sausage." So we .called hiin Jeeter, • As we were leaving for home, the German suggested that, we return in a month, bring Jeeter back and the man would trim his ears, a process that consists of cutting notches out of the ears, which hang down normally like a couple of cold buckwheat cakes. When tie shakes his head, they fly up on top and form a sort of lunatic beret, and that's the way they're going to stay, as I see no sense whatever In nicking Jeeter's flappers. The man Insisted that if they weren't trimmed, I couldn't show him at the dog show. I don't want to show him. All I ask Is that he remain quietly In the yard, try to learn a few good habits and quit pawing the screen doors. Skipper used that trick, too--, pawing at the screens, making mournful noises and trying to beg Inside the Jiouse, but there was a difference. Skipper's pawing was a quiet scratching, but when this Jeeter guy paws a screen door, you haven't any door left --only a hole where the screen was. Anyhow, we are on a large dog basis .now and are watching him grow. He eats pretty well and has an easy taste in foods, as he will eat anything except a live bee. He tried eating a live "bee the other day and we had to ex plain matters to the local police. His regular food is ground round steak and cod liver oil. the oil being make his legs strong;,enough to lift him It costs us 00 cents a day and will tie a little more when lie grows up--1 imagine about two dollars an hour, after he gets his full, adult-appetite. He is growing stronger daily and can now raise<4ii(nself o(T the rug If given time. At first, he could fall down perfectly but was no good on the up stroy^. lie is also powerful enough to pull over a oO pound bridge lamp, haul all the light plugs out of their sockets, and any family possession he hits with his tail Is Just something you formerly owned. He tried sleeping in the Skipper's old dog-house, but that idea was no good, as we had to take the roof off and pry him out with a hammer. He looks like an idiot and everything he does is pre cisely what an Idiot would do if undisturbed, so 1 believe we will keep him. The family was annoyed the other morning when it was discovered that in his early niornlng'frolies. Jeeter had taken down a small tree and was apparently going to eat It, root by root. "That's all right," I said. "Let him play. You wanted a large dog and that's what you have. He is a healthy brute and will probably never die. Another thing." "What?" ' .
