A little reflection however, will soon
dispel this misapprohenson.
Let us glance at the nature of the
new land taxes. What are they and
what do they comprise? They COM
prise the increment value duty, the
rev"rsion duty and undeveiopcd land
tax, all duties being a first charge upon
the property and recoverable under
penalties.
Increment value is duty OF ~ for
every f5 of increased site value that
may have taken place in the value ot
bare land. 1t is payable on the trans
fer of the land or any interest therein,
or on the granting OF IA lease Tor "A term

conditions would irreparably damage
fruit which might be still in such con-
dition that gradual rise of tempera-
ture would leave it in marketable
shape. This additional loss would
mean practically the complete ruin of
the citrus crop, the value of which
has been placed at $5O,0O0,0OO.
Smudging operations were again in
progress in many sections of the citrus
belt during the past week.
The cost of fighting the frosts has
been approximately SIPS per acre per
night. Already there have been two
nights of smudging on nearly every
one of the 10000 acres which COM
prise the citrus fruit zone of Southern
California.

Helen Gould IS to
Wed January d
Simple Ceremony Planned by The
Philanthropist and Finley J.
Shepard

Announcements of the date and the
arrangements for the marriage of
Helen Miller Gould and Finley j. She
pard were made last week. The we'd
ding will take place Jan. % at Miss
Gould's country place at Tarrytown,
N. Y. Only small gathering of rela-
tives and intimate friends will be pres
ent.
Simplicity the Key Note
The ceremony and celebration will
be of the simplest character with the
exception of the music, lengthy pro-
gram having been prepared under
Shepard's direction, to be rendered by
the Nathan Frank orchestra of forty
pieces. The Lohengrin wedding march
and Mendelssohn's setting to "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" will be
among the selections. The ceremony
will be followed by a wedding break
fast.
The Duke and Duchess de Talley-
rand, Miss Gould's brother-in-law and
sister, have come from Paris to attend
the wedding.
One of the features of the wedding
will be the gifts sent from all parts
of the country by the members of the
railroads, the army and the navy
branches of the Y. VI. c. A Almost
all of the buildings occupied by those
branches were erected by Miss Gould.

INDIANS STARvE OUT OF PRIDE

Many Indian families living in the
wilds of the Ozarks in eastern Okla
homa, enrolled as fullblood Cherokees,
are in destitute circumstances. 1t is
said some of them may not survive the
winter, while at the Indian agency
checks for S133 are theirs for the ask
ing. The members of the tribe believe
that great injustice has been done
them, and as a result have taken vows
never to accept the money.
When the Dawes commission en-
tered upon the task of allotting lands
TO the Indians it was found that strong
opposition existed to the plan Many
fullbloods protested against the re-
striction of their hunting grounds and
have never accepted allotments. The
government was forced to allot arbi-
trarily those who refused.
Checks Unclaimed for Three Years
Three years ago when the govern
ment distributed to each Indian S133
as share in the fund which had accu-
mulated from the removal of the Cher
okees from Georgia to Oklahoma more
than 10 years ago, these Indians re-
fused to accept the money and more.
than 40 checks still remain uncalled
for at the agency.
Twenty years ago, or more, there
was organized among the Indians Sc
cret society known as the Kee-to-wah,
or Night Hawks. The object of it was
to force the government to carry out
the treaties granting that all lands
should De owned in common and that
the Indian should be protected in his
rights. The members OF this secret
society, living remote from centers of
civilization, have not kept in touch
with the ever changing conditions.
Problem A Serious One
The vows they have taken preclude
the acceptance of the money or lands
and the problem of the government
grows greater as time passes. The
situation becomes more serious as cold
weather approaches. Heretof ore
other Indians have assisted the Night
Hawks, but this year that method
seems impossible.

FRUIT GREAT LOSS
$50, 600 Acres of Oranges and Lemons
Frozen-Damage May Reach
$4,000, 900

From San Bernadino to Los An
geles every acre of oranges and lem
ons has been frozen"
This was the statement that came
last week from Pomona, the center of
one of the heaviest producing sections
of the citrus fruit belt Only a fifth
of the crop may be salvaged, it was
asserted. If this is true the total loss
on 150, 700 acres of fruit will amount
close to $4,000, 900.
Damage of $4,000 900
More conservative estimates, how
ever, figure the total damage at s2O.-
100000. Between $4,000, 900 and So
10000 of this sum will be the loss to
railroads in curtailed freight receipts.
In the face of this situation fruit
growers, worn out by forty-eight
hours battle against an almost un-
precedented visitation of frost. receiv-
ed warning to get out their smudging
pots again last week With the warn
ing, the weather bureau issued a bulle-
TIN stating that the worst of the cold
wave had passed, but even this pre-
diction of warmer weather brought
with 1t some apprehension and uncer-
tainty.

Ing from the moose. Fl
The plucking must be done at
once. Commence the operation
with the long wing and tail
feathers. Next pluck from the
shanks down the inside of the
thigh and over the breast to the
neck.
The best manner of plucking
a fowl is to take only a few feath-
ers at a time. Grasp these as
closely to the skin as possible and
pull quickly toward the head. At
first 1t may be difficult to remove
the feathers without tearing the
skin. A little assurance and some
practice, however, soon will rem
der 1t quite easy.
Now hang the bird up to be-
come quite cold before drawing.
But do not delay this task more
than two hours.
With a sharp knife slit the
skin at the back of the neck and
with the point Of the knife sever
the membrane which holds the
windpipe close to the breast. Aft
er cutting off the shanl<s, which
is the next step, make a straight
cut from the end of the breast
| bone, being careful to sever the
skinny flesh only. Then con-
tinue to cut in a circle around
the vent and the bird can be
drawn without unseemly exposure
or soiling the flesh. BY follow
ing this method of drawing the
bird is left unmarried.
The gizzard and liver must
| next be severed from the entrails.
! Be careful not to break the gall
bag, which is a small sack lying
between the two parts of the
liver. Hold the gizzard with the
narrow smooth line that runs on
one side uppermost. Lay the
edge of the knife on the line and
make a small shallow cut. This
will reveal a gray-colored inner
bag that must be removed. Hence
tho necessity for the cut being
shallow.
/ always place a peeled onion
or a piece of charcoal in the emp
tied body and then hang 1t in a
cold cellar. There IL remains for
twenty-four hours.

YOU WORRYING ABOUT GROWING OLDER?
MOST FAMOUS WOMEN ARE OLD in YEARS

have always wondered why
women were so afraid of growing
old; when l voiced my ideas on
the subject someone always said,
why, of course, you are young
enough not to worry yet awhile.
l don't think l shall worry even
when l have passed that line
wherever IL is-where the woman
begins to worry, for ] am going
to do things up to the moment
leave this mundane sphere.
Thank the fates 1t has been dem
onstrated in the last few years
that a woman can accomplish
things In the great worlds move
ments outside the one task that
has always been hers-that of
bearing children.
This perhaps is the reason why
women have dreaded old age, be-
cause they have dreaded the time
when, according to the worlds
verdict. their one occupation
should be gone.
1t is entirely different today.
Now most women Just begin to
live after their children have
grown-yes, even after their
grandchildren have grown.
The leaders of society today
are grandmothers. Our greatest
actress Is a great grandmother
and although some people say that
the human voice rarely lasts after
middle age, yet not many of our
greatest opera singers are under
40.
Our famous woman writer's
and painters are all middle-aged
women.
Then why should one worry
about growing old?
The young girl is only crea-
ture of dreams which the mature
woman If she fulfills her highest
| destiny makes come true.
But growing old in years and
growing haggard and settled In
looks are two different things. We
should be Just as much ashamed
of ugly wrinkled faces and settled
| figures as we would be of any
other deformity that we can help.
Above all else keep your chin
softly rounded and the throat line
firm, for here is the first sign of
the age" which means that one
has let the world run on ahead.

lack of interest and enthusiasm. 1t

For SaIIow, Wrinlxled,
Freckled, Pimpled Skin

If you have any cutaneous blem-
ish, don't use paint, powder or any
thing else to cover 1t up. Too often
this only emphasizes the defect.
Besides. It's much easier to remove
the disfigurement with ordinary
mercolized wax. Applied nightly
the wax will gradually remove

A Word From B. III.


Dear Miss Grey, L have
Just read the answer to my
letter and wish to thank
you a thousand times for
the good advice you have
given me.
No, Miss Grey, I will
never lead a life of shame,
never If 1 can keep from 1t,
ALTHOUGH / have no more
friends. They have all de-
ceived me. Anyone who
will deceive me once 1 do
not wish to have anything
more to do with.
1 had several girl friends
ask me to go to cafes and
dances, and because 1 re-
fused they have turned
against me just here lately.
One of the girls even said
she hoped 1 would get into
trouble some day. May the
Angel of the Lord keep me
from those black devils.
Thanking you again many
times, 1 am sincerely. b. III.
A.-You will never know just
how glad I was to receive your
letter and to know you have
changed your mind. You would
think you had many friends il
you could but read all of the
letters that have poured into my
office from kind and sympathetic
readers regarding your case. II
was impossible to publish them
all.
You may be lonely for a short
while, but IL you keep in the
right road you are bound to meet
others travelling the same way.
1t was unkind of the girls to
wish you i'll; but an evil wish, as
a stone, will rebound and smite
the one at fault. Let your own
life be above reproach and you
will have nothing to fear.
l trust your life will be bright
er from now on, and If I can ever
help you again, do not hesitate
