Tax on Cotton Products
Put Into Effect Tuesday
—
Government Expects to Collect $120,000,000 a Year With
Which to Pay for Benefits Offered
Southern Fanners.
Washington, July 31.—Every item
toscd in American life that is manu
factured from cotton, from a spool of
thread to a mattress, be , came subject
to a tax at the rate of 4.2 cents a
pound at midnight tonight.
The proceeds, estimated to exceed
$120,000,000 a year, will go to pay
benefits to Southern cotton farmers,
■who now ai*4plowing up 2f> per cent,
of the crop which they painstakingly
planter last spring.
The money will come from the tex
tile mills of the country and the job
bers, wholesaler 8 and warehouses who
worked thi ughout tho night taking
an inventory of the cotton goods they
—have stf rerTTiway:—Renriter- must al
so pay the tax on goods in their
Wareb ruses, but they need pay none
©n the good- on their shelve^ until
August 31st.
The income from which the farm
ers’ bounties will be paid i*< expected
to resu’t in application of only a
Final! levy on the purchases of the
housewife. If retailer# paR* on the
tax ui the actual weight of the cotton
goods they sell it U expected to make
little difference in tho retail price.
A pair of overalls for the working
man. it is believed, should not cost
more than an additioni 1 10 or 15
cents. A shirt might cod five cents
more while smaller items might Ik*
inciea cd in cost by a cent.
Retailing that profiteering will < nly
aene to arouse public sentiment
against the farm recuycry plan, those
in thnrge of the program are taking
ev»r> piecautron against such a de
velopment. ('oats are being carefully
checked and the strong weapon* of
publicity will be invoked at the first
sign of excessive charges.
As preparation# for levying the
tax proceeded the agriculture adjust
ment administration sought to arrive .
at a figure, at which it might tax
silk, rayon, paper, jute, linen and
woolen which, it is felt, compete with
cotton and which will benefit from
the cotton tax unless they, too, are
assessed.
The hearings promised to last sev
eral days as the first session was
concluded. The competing qualities
of only rayon and paper were weigh
ed at the session. Cotton bag manu
facturers sought to have paper bags
of certain quality taxed at the same
rate as cotton. Textile makers a-ketf
that rayon be taxed twice as much as
their product or 8.4 cents per pound.
In arriving at a figure, the depart-
ment will judge the various advan
tages of the competing material,, f:r
weight, appearance and service. A
definite announcement of the competi
tive tax probably will be made within
a few days.
In the meantime the administra
tion was seeking to speed up its ma
chinery in order to distribute almost
$1()0,000,<H)0 in benefits to the rotten
farmer/*.
The checks and cotton options will
be forwarded to the farmers as rapid
ly as certificate# have been received
showing they have p’owej their land
under.
Plan.* for the -ale (f optr n cotton
were announced by the department.
Sa'es will be handled thiough the
American Cotton Co-operative asso
ciation which will set up a special
division for the work.

TO ENFORCE EGG LAW.
Jinefc Says Cartons Must Be Marked
According to Act.
Columbia, July 27.—A campaign
fer strict enforcement of the South
Carolina egg law will begin August
I, J. Roy Jones, State commissioner
©f agriculture, announced today.
, The law was passqd by the 1933
legislature for the protection of the
»ctmsujtm'r and producer and the agri-
‘©nlSure commissioner charged with
its wnforeement.
>lt requires that any eggs offered
for sale shall be plainly marked on
the* hv-x cr container as ‘"cold storage
‘shipped eggs," or ‘‘South
Carolina eggs." >
■advertisements likewise must
-specify xinder what Classification the
«Xgs offered for sale come.
Jones said that since the legislature
-■adjourned efforts had been made to
int every merchant or dealer in
State with the provisions of the
tat «
*And,” he continued, “I have isaaed
takrtetiom to all inspectors of this
adqpartasnt to aoe that the law is car
ried out, and if anyone is found guilty
of breaking the law with a view to
selling an inferior article of food he
will be prosecuted.”

TRY A BUSINESS BUILDER
Many Make Mistakes on
Age of Rare Furniture
It Is not unusual to hear some one
speak of seeing or haring a Chip
pendale, Hepplewhlte or Sheraton ta
ble or chair that can be traced back
over 200 years; but If a few dates
are remembered many mlatatements
may be avoided, writes Edith B.
Crumb in the Detroit News
The "Big Four" of the Georgian
period. Chippendale, Adam (Robert
and James). Hepplewhlte (or Hep-
pehvhlte as It was sometimes spelled)
and Sheraton could not possibly
have created furniture 200 years
ago as tbelr work was brought to
perfection between 1750 and 1800.
“Chippendale ivas'bom Tn TTIO; Rob
ert Adam, 1728; the date of Hepple-
whlte’s birth is not of record, but it
was between that of Adam and
Sheraton^ Adam was not born until
1751. So It Is no small wonder that
the age of a piece is . sometimes
questioned.
Chippendale was a very colorful
figure in England in his time. He
had plenty, of competition, but he
was a good advertiser, ids magnetic
personality making it possible for
him to' surround himself with the
means of' identifying furniture in
his style. First there Is the splat
back, showing the Influence of the
Dutch design, the splats varying in !
their decorative effect; then the
Chinese influence, - showing—more
geometrical motifs, and then the
ladderback chair, a very simple hut !
attractive one and one that Is copied
a great deal today.
It Giren Wrong Number

Dunkirk, N. Y.—And now tbe in
ternational wrong number.
‘‘Hello," said an operator, “la thla
Dunkirk 3000?"
“Yes.”
“Just a moment, please. London,
England, is calling.”
“London, England," said Mrs.
Reuckert. “Why, what on earth could
London, England, want?” ^
"Just a moment, please."
“Hello," said another operator,
sounding farther away. “Is this Dun
kirk 3000?"
“Why, yes,” said Mrs. Reuckert
weakly. “What do you want?"
“Mr. Michael Farmer is calling Mr.
Jacobs. Will you ask Mr. Jacobs to
come to the telephone?”
“But,” said Mrs. Reuckert, “there
isn’t any Mr. Jacobs here, and I don’t
know Mr. Farmer. Are you sure it
was 3000 you wanted?^
“Yes. v madam. Three-Oh-Six-Ok,
Dunkirk, France."

Upper Michigan Deer
Longest-Lived in State
Investigations carried on by the
game division of the department of
conservation over a four-year period,
nays the Detroit News, Indicate that
bucks do not have so good a chance to
reach old age in the lower peninsula
as do upi»er peninsula deer. This is
borne out by the fact that the pevwnt-
age of jounger deer kille^in th*A low
er peninsula is greater than lnVJj) e
upper peninsula, probably as a result
of heavier hunting south of the straits
During the four-year period, however,
the |»eri*entaire of younger deer killed
to older bucks taken by hunters in
creased in both peninsulas, although
this Increase was so gradual that it
is not thought to indicate any lack
of desirable sires in tho deer herds.
The method of arriving at ths num
ber of deer killed in the vartoog
classes used by tho division is to meow
or* tho horns of a representative num
ber of specimens taken. *
Dog Is Big Aid to Fire
Fighters in Vermont
Swanton, Vt.—This village has a
four-legged fireman. The volunteer
member of the department is a bull
dog. Not only does Rough respond
to nearly every alarm, but according
to Fire Chief J. l^o LotseUo, the dog ,
on many occasions has trampled on
small-grass and brush tires until they
were extinguished. Though he has
been painfully burned several times.
Rough is always ready for duty.
Widows Far Outnumber
Widowers in Toronto
Toronto, Ont.—Ontario has twice as
many widows as widowers. According
to the 1931 census returns there are
118.840 widows, against only 52.225
widowers. Statistic* also show that
[ there are only 859,594 unmarried worn-
' en. as compared with 902.790 bache-
, lors.
I By some strange quip of fate there
are 731.19! married men and only
703.191 uinnried w«>men. Divorced men
and women are almost equal, there
being 1.071 men and 1.015 women in
the post marital state.

B. C. Postal Systsou
la Julius Caesar’s time the service
of couriers In the portions of ths Ro
man dominions under his control was
so well organised that of two letters
which be wrote from Britain to Cicero
In Rome, ths one reached Its destina
tion In 26 and tbe other In 28 days
There certainly was an efficient postal
system in the Roms of tbe Emperor
Augustus, about 31 B. C The Emper

up the first postal system for the use
of private persona, as distinct from
public officials, generals in the field
and other officers.
