The Joke Turned on the Joker.
Some time ago a commission man '
St Paul.Minn, sought to initiate a j
iw employe, but the "worm turn- j
I," and the real joke was on him.
He sent the youth about half a
ile down the yards for a "cowi
ichor." The youth.when he return- j
I with a 150-pound sack of iron, i
as given "ha, ha!"
In the office was a box of flowers j
e commission man had ordered for j
dear friend. His victim carefully |
moved the flowers and filled the
>x with paper. Unmindful of the
ange, the joker carried the box to

PAYING FOR THE WAR. j
Haws of a Leading Newspaper on the
Proposed Revenue BilL
The War Revenue Bill, the most .
weeping measure of taxation ever J
>roposed in the United States, should
e subjected to searching criticism \
nd amendment before it becomes a |
aw, but in the main it adheres to
orrect principles.
Contemplating a yearly levy of
t
1,800,000,000, which will bear ~
eavily upon every man, woman and
hild, it wisely avoids the financial
rrors of early Civil war days, when 1
esort was had only to bond sales c
nd fiat money. Staggering as its .
urdens must be, the present gener- 1
c
tion is by no means to meet the
ntire cost of the war, but its pay- r
lents from earnings and savings a
re to be heavy enough to stabilize *
redit and preserve a sound eco- '
omic policy.
While nearly all of the vast sum 8
) be raised will come from direct '
ixes, not one of the new internal c
evenue imposts in the bill as drawn p
ixes the table. The application of 0
10 per cent tariff to goods now imorted
free and the addition of 10 p
er cent to existing custom rates '
ill produce a considerable revenue a
rithout restoring the old inequalities v
nd extortions. It is so palpably a ^
rar revenue bill that in all honesty a
. must be repealed in most of its 0
arts soon after the conclusion of n
eace, leaving conditions as they a
ere. ^
Income and excess-profits taxes v
ave been doubled, with smaller ex- c
mptions for individuals, and the
i.^fovoc nnr.n incnmps PVPPpHincn ^
5.000 run a9 high as 33i per cent. 11
'robably these features of the bill n
rill receive close scrutiny .in both 8
louses, for economic questions of v
lie utmost gravity are here present- 1
d all along the line, especially in ^
f
egard to the excess-profits tax, now
ilaced at 17 per cent.

The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless f

iut Malaria, Enriches the Bloou and e

Torn musical instruments to playng-cards,
from jewelry to grapeuice,
from motor-boats to patent
nedicine, from inheritances exceedt
ng $50,000 to a bottle of pop, nothng
escapes. ^
For some reason, the most elabore
ite system of stamp taxes on docunents
ever devised omits bank
hecks, an easy and natural source
if revenue; but the authors of the
' ~ . v
?ui did not rorget to restore 3-cent
rcstage and 2 cents for postal cards, ^
r to insist upon the objectionable
one system in fixing exorbitant
nailing rates for newspapers and
nagazines. In this way publications 1
?
f wide circulation which do much
o co-ordinate American thought, in- ^
luding all the farm journals, are
iscriminated against, and revenue,
nstead of increasing, will positively
Q
lecrease.
Retroactive income taxes must alo
furnish legitimate grounds for r
ontroversy. The supreme court
ias upheld legislation of this kind,
mt it is in sharp conflict, nevertheless,
pith the spirit of the Constitution.
Vith almost unlimited resources at
ts command, Congress has a poor
xcuse indeed for collecting a secmd
time after it has once given its ?
eceipt in full.
When in 1862 Representative Just- 1
n S Morrill nf Vprmnnt one of the
2
'ivil War Tax Bill of that year, preented
it to the House, he said with
imotion that it was the most drastic
ict ever applied to a free people;
>ut, on behalf of Government, he
egistered a solemn promise that it
hould not outlast the war. Vexaious
as that measure was to a peo>le
unused to searching taxation, it
vas mild in comparison with the bill
low in hand.
Ought not some one in authority
;oday to repeat to those who pay
'or the world's deliverance from
tutocracy the pledge made fifty-five
rears ago to the generation that

An Army Aviator's Lock.
\
Many an aviator among the fightng
nations owes his life to miracu- ?
ous good fortune, like the British
lir man whose escape is described in
rales of the Flying Services by C G
5rey. \
An officer went out on a bombing 1
expedition and met a German ma- \
ehine. In order to save weight he i
lad left all his small arms behind 1
rim, but he thought it was a pity to i
>ass by a good target, and so he de- ]
ided to drop a bomb on him. But (
Iropping a bomb on a swiftly mor- c
ng mark is not the same as firing at
i fixed point. So he missed the Ger- i
nan. Unfortunately for him, he i
lso exposed himself to the fire of
he enemy, and received a rifle bul2t
in the thiprh.
To be strictly accurate, the bullet j
truck his trousers pocket, hit a five- ^
ranc piece, broke itself and the ^
oin, and distributed the assorted
c
ieces of metal about the lower part j
f his body.
c
Fpplinc that hp was badlv hit. the ^
ilot shut off his engine and dived ^
or the ground from a height of
bout six thousand feet. When he
c
ras a thousand feet from the ground q
e espied some aeroplanes in a field,
nd, not knowing whether he was ^
ver German or Frence territory, he ^
lade up his mind to land among the ^
eroplanes, certain that if they did
appen to be German machines, he
;ould be well treated by the flying ^
orps. r
Two hundred feet above ground
ie completely lost consciousness, but
ti some curious subconscious way he ^
nade a perfect landing?right along- ,
ide a British motor ambulance, so
,'ell did he land that for some minites
no one troubled about him.
Vhen they did go to look they t
ound a badly wounded officer in a f
tate of collapse. 8
He was promptly put into the am- ^
?ulance and sent off to the hospital.
?here it was found that the bullet c
lad cut a large artery and that the S
>ilot would have bled to death in a I
ew minutes if the bullet had not r
ilso cut a muscle, which had sprung V
>ack and wrapped itself like a piece
if elastic round the artery and form- t
d, as it were, an automatic tourni- i
luet. c

ECONOMY IN THE HOME.
~~~ \ 'z\
Sari Vrooman, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, Gives Good Advice.
The domestic life of a modern
irmy should be an example to every
American housewife. In the army
he ration is well balanced, the
heapest nutritious and palatable
oods are purchased, and the most
conomical means of preparing them
ire used.
It is a patriotic duty at this time
nd all the time, whether there it
par or peace, for every American
voman, rich or poor, to keep her
lome "prepared." Home prep'aredtess
means substitution of cheap,
ppetizing dishes for costly foods,
iractical elimination of waste, and
cientifically balanced rations.
There are two great groups of
ood that enter into a balanced hunan
ration?the protein group, like
neat,eggs and beans, and the starch
:roup,such as potatoes, rice, cereals,
read, etc. The protein foods as a
ule are more expensive than the
tarchy foods. Some protein foods,
lowever, are cheap. The prime facor
in economy in foods is the choice
f protein foods that are at the same
ime cheap and palatable.
A cheap food, rich in protein and
ats, is the ordinary field soy bean,
iften sold under the name "togo
>ean." Ten cents' worth at the
>rice of 15 cents a quart will supply
?ver five ounces of protein, while
tverage beef at. 20 cents a pound
vill supply little over' one ounce of
>rotein for the same money.
Don't depend on one kind of food.
Nhen potatoes are dear, remember*
hat one pound of dry cornmeal prorides
about five times as much fuel
>r energy and five times as much
issue-building as one pound of raw
jotatoes and costs from one-third to
me-sixth as much.
Save fuel and labor by making hot
jreads only when using your fire for
looking other foods. Avoid the danger
of overcooking,and conserve the
lavor of your dinner by using a fireess
cooker. You can make a good
>ne yourself very cheaply.
By such expedients as these every
voman can "prepare" her home not
>nly against war but also against
tickness and hard times.

Big Money In Irish Potatoes.
It has been stated by some that
Florence affords an indifferent mar;et
for the sale of vegetables, but
dr W M Kennedy, who is trucking
>n a small scale on the outskirts of
2ast Florence, can testify to the
ontrary from his own experience
)n February 22, Mr Kennedy plant- v.
d three-quarters of an acre in Irish
otatoes. He used no fertilizer, exept
a small amount of stable insure.
On May 8 Mr Kennedy gathred
his crop, amounting to forty
ushels. He sold the potatoes in
'lorence for $120. He does not
hink he spent more than $30 for
eed, rent, laoor, etc, maxing a nei
irofit out of the crop of $90. Mr
Cenned.v is much pleased with the
esult of his potato crop. He in"
ends to make this same threeluarters
of an acre yield him twice
190 before frost comes.?Florence

An Excellent Reason.
Not every maid combines the aptiude
for blundering and the talent
or ingenious explanation that charicterize
the young woman about

"What do you suppose has come
iver my husband this morning,

ittle bride to the new servant. "I

"I'm afraid I'm to blame, mum. I
