An Obligation We Owe.
COrops generally in Wheeler
county are above the average this
year—far better than they haye
been in many years, though the
price received for our products
is very low—far lower than in
many years. But the fact should
not be overlooked that prompt
payment of taxes is one of the
best means toward bettering our
conditions generally. Taxes must
be paid and the longer they are
put off the longer the county sul
fers, and the more interest you
have to pay.
Your county is nothing more
than a business institution. It
takes morey to run it, There are
employes to pay, improvements
to keep up, schools to maintain
and past obligations to meet.
Unless taxes are paid with a
reasonable degree of promptiness
it works a hardship on every
gitizen, Postponing their pay
ment only makes it harder in the
long run, for then interest accu
mulates and eventually this must
come out of the pockets of prop
erty owners. The county has
Lills to meet, the same as the in
dividual or the privately owned
company., Unless those bills are
pad when due it means a weak
ening of the county’s credit, and
that is the worst thing that could
happen to any community.
No matter what the rate majy
be, paying taxes is to the average
citizen more or less a hardship.
Yet it is absolutely necessary
that they be paid. It is the citi
z:n’s most solemn debt to the
community in which he lives.
This county’s tax books show
more taxpayers in arrears thar
are grod for it. Itis not safe to
1:t these obligations go unpaid.
Even though it means sacrificing
at some other point, past-due
taxes must be paid if Wheeler
County is to meet its overhead
and the credit of the county is to
be preserved.
Don't wait another day. It may
pinch even more than now. Dig
down ard settle this mostim
portant of all debts and have il
off of your mind.
LIFE LARGE AND SMALL
Some intresting reflections o1
the size of living things were
made-by the noted scientist. Jul
ian S. Huxley, in arecent article.
Many of the faets which he relat
es are not only intrestiag, but
surprising.
When we spakof lving things,
in the broad sense, we must in
clude the vegetable kingdom, sc
the largest living things are t
be found among the big trees of
California. These, incidentally,
are also the oldest, with an age of
around 5,000 years.
These trees, some weighing
nearly 1,000 tons, are massive in
deed when compared with the
largest animal, the whale, who
seldom reaches more than 100
tona. Yet a large elephant counld
maneuver comfortably inside al
whale’s skin. |
"Most wanderfulis what we find
among the smaller orders of life. ]
We can see a flea. though with)
difficulty catch him, yet 80,000 |
would weigh scarcely one ounce. |
Some of the insects which are |
hardly visible to the naked eye|
fitted out with "compound eyes, ,
a nize nervous system, three (3)[
pairs of jaws and three (3) pairs
of legs, veined wings znd striped |

only 10 graws, or abvut as much
as 10 large ants, fly thousnds of
miles during their migrations.
And ants by the way, are the
