Resource* of Rouinania.
Washington, Nov. 22.—"Roumania,
Continually in the public eye as a pos-
sible factor in the world-war, whose
resources both In men an matreials
give this little nation a military im-
portance out of proportion to Its size
and fame, is described in a study,
'Roumania, tha Pivotal State,' pre-
pared by James Howard Gore for the
National Geographic Society. The
bulletin, describing the strength and
organization of Roumania, reads as
follows:
"The Roumanian lands—composed
of the two principalities, Moldavia and
Wallachia—first found freedom from
the Turk in the treaty of Paris, signed
in 1S56. They were united in govern-
ment almost from the start; and, un-
der the rule of their second prince,
Charles of Hohenzollem, a vigorous
spirit of nationalism was instilled into

Tt is a fact that the state lax rate
is higher than ever before. And it is
a further fact that, so far as this
newspaper can make observation, tile
public schools of the state arc no bet-

64 cents on the $100 valuation, than
they were when it was only about 4
cents on the $100 valuation. The
only way this can be accounted for
Is that, tho tax monies are being
squandered by those who the majority
of the people have, by their votes,
elected to office. They are politicians,
as a rule, who know more about vote-
getting than they do about managing
the financial affairs of a great state

Anthrax Is a disease peculiar to cat-
tle, though It may and does attack
human beings who may become In-
fected by contact with germ-laden
spores or by the swallowing of the
spores. One is most likely to contract
the disease while engaged in the
process of killing and skinning dis-
eased animals or in the sorting and
handling of wools, hide or hair that
has become infected. The patient is
afflicted with lassitude, fever and
localized pain. Usually the neck
swells. Public attention has recently
been attracted to this disease through

Andrew Werner and Johann Wer-

rather high. The supply of cotton is
short, but since the road to Constan-
tinople has been opened, cotton is
coming in and that Holland has also
opened up the export of meat to
Germany, so that there is no fear of
Germany ever being started out.—-

The Bell County Election.
In the local option election held in
Bell county last Saturday, the county
voted dry by 4 48 majority. The re-
sult is but natural when the local con-
ditions are considered. Two years ago
there was a local option pool hall
ePBCtlon held ln that county. Tlie sa-
loon men assisted In voting the pool
halls out. In the election last 8al-
urday the pool hall men got sweet re-
venge for the part played by the sa-
loon men two years ago.
Some of the More-holy-than-thou
bunch will not get up on their hind
legs and howl about it being a direct
slap at Governor Ferguson. Tho gov-
ernor's administration nor Ills person-
ality had nothing to do with the re-
sult last Saturday. If he had not
taken part ln tho fight the majority
in all "likelihood would have been over
a thousand. We think the governor
should have remained out of the fight
and he would have had had he been
more of a politician than the warm-

nephew of Prince Charles, and he
rules over u land of 63,489 square
miles, or one slightly greater than
England and Wales and only a little

there were, according to the last cen-
sus, 7,508,000 inhabitants, giving a
density of population slightly greater
than that of Maryland.
"The fields of Roumania are very
fertile, and many conquerors have
quarreled over the division of its soil.
Its system of land ownership Is com-
plicated, but, in general, it may be
said that out of 83,000,00 acres of ara-
ble land tho small farmers have a
little more than one-third, while the
large proprietors have 13,000,000, and
the state 6,000,000. The Jands owned
by the state, known as Crown domains
and consisting of 12 estates, exercise
great influence as model establish-
ments. In all departments, conserva-
tion of natural resources is taught by-
precept and example, and forestry,
which was a hobby of the late king,
found a quick response from the peas-
ants who affectionately called the oak
their brother and the elm their cousin.
Lumber, in various forms, ranks
fourth in the list of Itoumania's ex-
ports.
"Progress has been steady and
rapid in Roumania, and one may find
villagers of peasant farmers that can
not bo surpassed for comfort. It is
essentially an agricultural state, and
the rich soil insures a good return for
tho peasants' labor. It Is said that
there are estates, which, although long
under cultivation, without a single
manuring, continue to yield twenty-
five bushels of wheat, whils other
tracts more scientifically handled,
produce as much as thirty-six bushels
to the acre. It is because of this fer-
tility that the Danublan states rank
with Russia, Argentina, and the Unit-
ed States as the chief wheat-growing
countries on the globe,
"Crop failures occasion general dis-
tress, as 86 per cent of the population
depend upon agriculture; and Rou-
mania will continue to be subject to
economic depressions as long as she
remains exclusively dependent upon
the wealth of her harvests. Indian
corn is one of the staple of her peas-
ants' tables.
"Tho Roumanian farmer is quite
superstitious, and, in his agricultural
endeavor, makes use of a number of
signs In which not only the moon, but
all nature, takes part. Thug, when
the sparrows flutter about, chirru-
ping; when the cattle show nervous
restlessness and the forest gives forth
unusual sounds; when the cock crows
all day long, the ducks thresh the
ground with their wings, and the frogs
croak incessantly; when the mist rises,
the sun sets in a cloud, and your ears
itch, there surely will be rain. When,
on the other hand, the sparrow take
a bath in the dust;when the storks
stand quitely In the field, the lambs
gambol gaily, and the cat, after wash-
ing her face, looks at the door, there
will be fine weather. But when the
sparrows are hurrying about looking
for shelter; when the lark dashes
against the windows; when the cattle
bellow, looking up into the air, and
the pigeon goes About with a straw
ln his snout, then a storm is threat-
ening.
"The Roumanian is not a trades-
man. Still he Is an industrialist In his
own way, and almost everything about
the liouse Is his own handiwork. The
great industrialist In the peasant's
homo Is the housewife. She takes a
hand at everything except loading the
hay. She takes the hemp and the
flax from the seed to the finished gar-
ment, and deems herself fortunate If
the husband plows for her the ground.
Spinning and weaving are done by the
women and the clothing worn by the
family are tangible evidences of the
housewife's taste and Industry. To
wear store-made clothes, until recent
times, was a token of indolence or
awkwardness on tho wife's part.
"Military servico is universal and
compulsory. All young men between
the ages of 19 and 21, unless physi-
cally Incapacitated, receive at home
or In the schools preliminary military
training. At twenty-one, the active
service with the army begins with two
years drill In the Infantry, followed
by three years in the other arms of
the service. The army Is the country's
pride, and the roster of the standing
army calls for two hundred and r ne-
ty thousand men, armed with Mann-
Uchcr rifles. In war time, this num-
ber could be largely Increased. Tho
Roumanian navy consists of a pro-
tected cruiser, a few boats, and some
torpedo boats.
"Itoumania's ono hundred and
twenty senators are elected for eight
years, and receive, while in session,
four dollars a day. Eligibility con-
gists ln being more than forty years
of age, and of having an annual In-
come at least fl>800 The members
of her chamber of deputies are elected

an enormous area and have a thick-
ness varying from six to elgl.t hun-
dred feet. There, are, also, vast oil

amounting to a value of 18,000,000 a

The students' rebellion at the Uni-

missal of Professor Scott Neuring led
John Mitchell to say:

scratching when it tingled most, and
searing the boys off the playground
with whom we did not care to play.
