FEDERAL REVENUES fcHOW AN INCREAS] Washington, March 6.?Governmc avenues have begun to show slig mcrease, due largely to the usu spi.ng import business with cons quent enlarged receipts from cu toms. The treasury deficit, which # w weeks ago was in the neighbo hood 01 $eb,000,000, has fallen about $80,000,000 and in the no few months there may be a furth reduction. Although treasury officials are loa to make any predictions when su< unusuai conditions prevail, the exp rience of years has taught them figure on increased receipts from cu toms iiom about March 1 until tl end of the fiscal year in June. If tl increase is sufficient to keep the pr sent deficit at a standstill, the incon may possibly wipe it out entirel Thv U...O lor making income tax r turns has expired, but it will I weeks before treasury officials a able to estimate how the tax is act as a revenue producer this yea Secretary McAdoo has estimati that about $80,000,000 would be r ceived from this source, but corn! tions have changed materially si'm his estimate was made. So far the emergency tax law hi failed to live up to expectations ai the postoffice department is runnir behind its usual business. Calculi tions made at the direction of M McAdoo, however, of revenue ai expenditures have differed widely i different times. The question of issuing Panan Caaal bonds has not been decide but it is understood that if there a deficit Mr. McAdoo will not hes tate to use his authority to put 01 such an issue. SOME*COW! (Augusta Chronicle) urne Cowan needs no minimu wage law. She is a skilled worke able to earn her living, and alwa; n the job. For the year endir with February, she made $3.04 a da every day in the week and evei week in the year, without even sto ping for a summer vacation. Iadeed, as they say in Barberto Q., where she lives, grazes and che\ her cud, "Murne is some cow!" Tl full extent of her bovinity may 1 realized from the statement that these 12 months she produced 2' 08 pounds of milk and 1,098 poun. af butter fat. Or, in less scientifi dairyman language. Murne gave 5 790 gallons of milk, containir enoagh fat to make 1,374 pounds i the finest butter. That quantity milk, be it known, is 18 times tl weight of Murne herself, and tl butter alone weighing considerab Vinrn thnn f ho nrnnfl? nrnrlnnnr II largest milk yield in 24 hours w 12.S pounds, a little more than t< gallons. In seven energetic da she produces 565.8 pounds of mil containing 24.44 pounds of butter is Prom this precise data it mig be surmised that Murne is not mer ly an unusual cow, but that she r ceives unusual attention. If she li p,l on "i-ecarious pickings and sle] in a cold and dirty stall and w kicked around like a houn' dawg 1 an unsympathetic hired hand, s' wouldn't have a world's record f bovine efficiency. Her stall is scrup lously clean, with a cement floor a steampipes underneath i't, and summer she is cooled by an electi fan and protected from insect pes by festoons of sticky fly paper. SI is fed regularly and daintily, ai milked four times a day. All this expense for diet and pc sonal service eats up half her gro earnings, but she's still so profital: that her owner, O. C. Barber, t! "match king," values her at $10 Of He bought her for a little over $1C The difference seems to indicate wh scientific dairying will do in bringii ut all that is best in a cow.
