TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.

As an suspicious opening for Eas-

that way tntii the sun rises.
The lunar eclipse does not mean
anything particular to the weather

tiles OF nature. The eclipse Sunday
morning is the first one Abilene has
had since Nay %, 1910. The lunar
eclipses are not regular in their
coming and 1t Is no uncommon thing
to have two OF them in one year
and then to skip a year without any.

DOESN'T EXEMPT DEPOSITS
MADE IN POSTAL BANKS
$1,000 Deposited in Abilene is Tax
able Property.

Il may be OF interest to depositors
In the post bank in Abilene to know
that this deposit is not exempt from
assessment. The deposit in the pos
tai bank here is something like
$4,000 and every penny Of It is tax
able. Some OF the depositors in the
postal bank have thought that put
ting their money into Uncle Sans
institutions exempted 1t from the
prying assessors. Not so says At
toTney General Dawson. The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Dawson's opinion as
handed down to the county attor-
neys of the state:
IT beg to say that money deposit
ed in postal savings bank or de-
posted anywhere else on earth is
not exempt from taxation. 1t makes
no difference whether the owner OF
the money deposits 1t in savings
bank, the earth, the sea or the sky.
The doctrine that movable goods
follow the owner and are to be tax
ed at the place where the owner re-
sides, except as otherwise specified
in the statute Is absolute. What
does man want any. money for
anyhow? It's nothing hut, burden
to him and an expenses"

PRESERVED SEATS FOR
THE CABINET MEMBERS
Wilson to Have His Advisors in the
~ Senate. a

Washington. March 21.--The ten
cabinet ministers of President VIII
son may soon have nice, comforta-
Bile leather chairs arranged for them
ON the floor of the senate. They may
be permitted to occupy them during
the regular sessions, participating In
the debates, but not having q vote
They would have an opportunity to
protect all measures urged by them
The legislation necessary to make
the proposed innovation effective
will be urged at the extra session OF
congress. 1t is an innovation which
seems to be favored alike by the
Democrats and Republicans.
In his message of December IL,
1912, President Taft recommended
legislation which would permit cab
met ministers to have seats in the
senate and house, and be given the
right of debate.
President Wilson entertains the
same views. He believes members
of .he cabinet should have the right
Of cooperation in legislation. &
i It is the opinion of Senator Root
that the innovation would constitute
a great improvement and facilitate
the enactment of laws. He thinks
this country is behind others in that
respect.

A.-The law contemplates every cou,

t'cate Of the owner. But, where the
owner has several coupons of the cor
poration and presents several coupons,
one from each bond, for redemption,
say, December 1, one certificate will
suffice for these coupons, If the bonds
are OF the same series; if not of the
same series, then a certificate for the
coupons of each separate series. For
illustration, let us say Cornell college
owns $4,000 of Commonwealth Edison
bonds, series A, that 1t presents five
coupons of the series for redemption;
one certificate will suffice for these five
coupons. Now, If it also holds $4,000

The apostles Of vaccination among

The apostles Of vaccination among
hog raisers In and around Batavia
number among the most enthusiastic
Of their members, Perry L. Heady who
resides on farm, two and half miles
west of Batavia. The saving OF his
hogs after the loss of four animals that
were too sick to be vaccinated when
the veterinarian arrived, convinced
Mr. and Mrs. Heady as well, that pre-
vention is better than cure.
When the representative of The
Courier called at the Heady farm he
was unable to see Mr.. Heady, but the
farmers wife today Is one Of the In
terested parties in most Of the bigger
farms and the mission there was not
a failure, for Mrs. Heady was familiar
with the experience they had with the
dread Of the farmer-hog cholera.
On the Heady farm there were a
large number, of animals being fed for
market when the first signs of cholera
made it's appearance. A large number
the exact amount Mrs. Heady was I'M
able to give except that they brought
s1,100, had just been sold at Ottumwa
when the cholera was discovered.
To vaccinate was the first thought
Of Mr.. Heady and although but one pig
was sick when it was found that chol-
era was in the herd, a veterinarian was

INTERVIEWS WITH HOG RAISERS WHO
HAVE FOUGHT CHOLERA IN THEIR HERDS
The Courier in These Articles Will Afford the Farmer
the Means of Giving His Views in Preventing
the Dreaded and Costly Swine Plague

Immediately sent for and told to pre-
pare to vaccinate the entire herd on
the farm.
BY the time the veterinarian arrived
with the serum and virus there were
three animals sick. These animals all
died as did also a hog that showed
no signs Of the disease until death
took it and it was found that cholera
had done the work. There were be.
tween forty and fifty shoats vaccinat-
ed and the result Of their treatment
Is being watched with care to denote
any failure of the vaccination to work
properly among them. Thus far the
only animals to die according to Mrs.
Heady were the four pigs that were
sick when the veterinarian arrived to
yaccinate the herd.
Mrs. Heady stated that she believes
that only vaccination saved the shoats
which were exposed to disease from
the four that died, and she further
stated that the litters as they arrive
will be treated as soon as their age
will permit.

ments to any individual exceed $4,000

A married woman who has tax
able income of her own, and her hus-
band who also has a taxable income,
each may make separate return, but
If they are living together, they may
together make only a single deduction
of $4,000 from their aggregate in

gether and subtract therefrOm $4,000.
This $4,000 exemption may be claimed
by one or the other, assuming their
ability to agree as to who shall claim
it, but in no event shall each have the
benefit Of it. Or they may pro rata
the exemption. You will understand
that for this year they are allowed on
ly five-sixths of the $4,000 exemption

exemption is $4,000. Shall deduct
this from my total collections since
March 1 or do begin on Nov. /? The
monthly rental Is 5000.

normal tax this year. Next year, II

will thereafter make deduction of the
normal tax of one PEI cent unless he
files with you certificate of exemption.
