BOGUS Death ARTIST
GET LONG PEN TERM

Princeton, Ind, Nov. 26.-H. 3.
Agar, who is alleged to have arranged
a bogus death by drowning to escape
those whom he swindled through
grain operations, was sentenced to
from two to fourteen years imprison-
ment in the state prison today on a
charge of embezzlement.
Agar was captured at San Benito,
Texas, some months ago after a chase
which had lasted for nearly two years
and had extended throughout the en-.
tire country. a g:"& I'd = -.
Following the exposure in January,
1907, Agar disappeared and was re-
ported to have fallen overheard from
a steamer in the Wabash river and
been drowned. He carried q large life
insurance and the insurance officials
ana other creditors refused to be-
sIieye the report OF his death d and
commenced search which finally re-
suited in his capture. I.
He was convicted today of having
embezzled funds belonging to the
Central Trust company Of Evansville.
Numerous other charges are pending
against him. d =. .s @@ !. .s.s., !. :.

mo man should
MAKE Wife VALET

4 Chicago, Nov. 26.-"I love to sew
Buttons on my pants. sew them on
my sons pants, too," said Prof. r..
sE Biount, head Of the physiology de-
partment at the Robert Waller high
school,.
"No man ought to make a valet OF
his wife and that's what the majority
lot men are DOING" he explained.
+. The other day Mrs. Anna E. Blount
Ehis wife. who is a pracucdng physi-
stan, delivered am address before a
oaaD W Oak Park women, saying that
sheD made her husband sew on his
,, own buttons when he 'busted" them.
Yesterday Prof. B4ount said that
she did nothing of the sort; that he
sewed them on because he wanted to.
It was inferred that there is vast
difference in sewing buttons on
pants because your wife makes you
and because of an ethical principle.
Prof. Blount does it for ethical
reasons and so does his eldest son
Walter Earl Blount, who is only

finds them, isn't mature enough to
grasp principles of ethics, SO papa
Blount sews little white china affairs
to portions of his attire where they
b-long.
Not without mishap have the
Blount children been grounded in the
principles of division of labor. Wal
ter's first button sewing stunt was a
;; tragedy. Climbing cu papa's lap
Walter took possession of needle of
formidable size and grasped a thin.
Bile into which he could wedge the
major portion of chubby fist.
Father held the button in place and
patienhly explained the operation of

"Now do It,"

CORPORATION TAX
REGULATIONS OUT

Washington, D. c. Nov. 26.-The
corporation tax regulations are COM
pleted and ready for the printer, re-
ported Secretary MceVagh and Com.
missioner of Internal Revenue Cabell,
to President Taft at brief confer
ence at the White House this after
noon.
The latest estimates indicate a net
revenue of approximately 5.00O,O ,O0O
annually and $4,000 corporations are
likely to have to pay corporation
taxes.
There are uncertainties about its
effects. In one Of the far southwest
states, for instance, it has been found
that not over ten per cent of many
thousands Of corporations whose of.
fetal existence was authorized, have
never actually done business.
Improper registration in many cas-
es is fully expected with such 81
gantic scheme but the series of pen
alties under the law will apply just
the same to those who fail to get the
forms and regulations.
The mailing of the forms and blanks
to every corporation listed in the var
ious districts is not specifically re.
quired by law and rs merely to as.
sist the corporations. Those not reg
istered should apply Immediately to
the collectors.
All the returns are required to be
in the collectors hands by March
1 then sent to the internal revenue
bureau here, where the tax will be as
sessed and the tax paying corpora
ton notified by June l. the tax to be

A Big Snow The Season a Happy One
TO MANY.

Christmas was ushered in with one Of
the severest snow storms which has

fall was so heavy that one could not be

tempature had been little lower II
would have attained a depth Of ten
inches. but il was a wet snow. Ii was
truly an old time Christmas with Santa
Claus driving his reindeers as pictured
to the children. But nothing daunts
men, women or children at Christmas
and hundreds wendell their way through
the falling snow, their peals Of laughter
breaking the silence, 10 the Sunday
school celebrations. to the churches and
to the family gatherings. Everybody
observed Christmas this year; business
houses, banks, schools were closed and
every species of work laid aside.
A good time was the sentiment for
the day. There were stag parties, homes
were thrown open and in many the
tables were weighted down with the
old Virginia hams, turkeys, oysters,
etc. which were served to the guests.
Then there were the family dinners
around which gathered many loved ones
who came for the holidays. Christmas
gifts have never been so lavish, ranging
from the simplest Christmas cards to
the check Of four figures. The poor
also were remembered 10 a greater
extent. The homes Of hundreds were
frightened with substantial gifts. II

full force of hands, and that is the time
for you to sell what you can, so have
tobacco on the market by January 4th-
All our buyers for the better grades
have come on, and we expect prices on
these grades to do better than they
have this season. We quote tobacco
selling as follows: Frosted so cents to
Sl.5O, and not wanted. Green off colored
tobacco 5 to Z IL cents. Bright sand
leaves 7 l-2 to 9 cents, Jugs 9 to Il
