Back to Czar. * iWhile bands of anarchists, enlivened by the uniforms of soldier? and sail ers, were tearing through the streets of Petrograd flourishing rifles, revolv ers and grenades and indulging in as orgy of brigandage and murder; th< telegraph brought alarming news from far away Tiflis. There, in th< heart of the Caucasus, the cry 01 "baick to czardom" has been raised. Ii a flash it dawned upon the people her< what War Minister Kerenski mean when he said the other daj Russia war in danger of losing not only Armenia but also the Caucasus.

Making it mandatory to reveal when your income is $800 and over and thus subject to taxation. (Automobile Tax. The automobile tax is as follows: On machines costing not over $500. $7:50; on machines costing $500 to ! $1,000, $10; on machines costing $1,000 j to $2,000, $15; on machines costing I ($2,000 to $3,000, $20; on machines cost ing more than $3,000. $25.

Enropean Hellitrerents and Neutrals ( ltequire More ('rain Than Ameri ca Can Supply. I ? j Washington. June 2.?The grain re j : quirement of the allies and the Eu-j : ropean neutrals were put at 971.000,-1 i hom hnshels. a. total much greater than i the United States can supply, in a ' staement by Herbert C.

In any i event it emphasizes the necessity for control of exports in oraer 10 couum j prices and protect our supply and the : necessity for conservation and elimi J nation of waste in order to increase j the volume of our exports." Mr. Hoover believes the 'United ' States and Canada can export this i year at least 600,000,000 bushels of, grain. If the winter wheat crop im-| i proves and the spring crop is larger | than normal he believes this may be ! increased to 800.000,000. Shipment of ; j that much grain, much of it wheat, ' however, will force American consum L; ers to eat less wheat than usual and eat more of other cereals. Coordination of Purchases. ! Coordination of allied food pur chases will be Established as soon as . the food bills and the export limita : tions act beoome laws. At present the allies and neutral countries are pur chasing in large quantities for future ; delivery. There is no guarantee that i sioiivpripc; will be made, as ; an uiv^ov/ \<va? > w* this government may hold up contracts 1 to assure of an Adequate food supply at home. The food administration as ; soon as it is created will begin to pass on these purchases to protect Ameri can consumers. Mr. Hoover denied a report today that the food" administration will buy the country's grain crop for distribu tion. HERE'S A RECORD THAT WOULD DELIGHT T. R. Dalton. Ga..
