INCOME TAX POINTS
ARE CLEARED UP
Collector Mcleod Gets Further
Advices ON Workings of
New State Law

Malcolm }. Mcleod. collector or in
ternal revenue, has received from the
treasury department in Washington
two decisions under the income tax
law that will clear up the situation az
to the retention "at the source" Of In
on municipal and state bonds.
One states that the income derived
from the interest on national state,
county or municipal bonds Is not sub
ject to the income tax. and a certif.
cate Of ownership in connection with
the coupons or registered interest or
ders for such interest Is not neces-
sary.
All doubt as to the correct applica-
ton of the income tax law on munic-
ipal bonds Is cleared up by this de-
.cision. On account OF the conflicting
interpretations of the law. many
banks have refused TO pay coupons
for interest on national. state, county
and municipal bonds without first de-
Quoting the normal income tax of one
per cent.
The second decision is in regard To
deposits, and holds that banks. bank
ers, trust companies and other bank
ing institutions receiving deposits or
money are not required to withhold,
at the source. the normal income tax
on the interest paid or accrued or ac-
cruing to depositors, whether on
open accounts or on certificates OF
deposit. All such interest, whether
paid or accrued and not paid, must
be included In the tax return made
by the persons receiving such inter

figured the whole play while he was
running three steps past second base.
Manager Birmingham of the Maps
had a short confab with President
Johnson Of the American League
yesterday and as a result Joe Jack
son, the smuggling right fielder, was
reinstated. Birmy did not make any
fuss over the criticism that had been
leveled at him by Johnson, probably
because the big boss put Jack
son back in the game. Chapman

We have discovered why the Cubs

ton is very simple.
The Cubs are playing bad base
ball, especially with their heads and
on the bases. The old alibi of punk
pitching has been retired. Charley
Smith did good enough boxwork
against Cincinnati yesterday to win
most ball games, but the men behind
him are sorry for their old mate, Joe
Tinker, and want to see him win.
In the first innings the Reds scored
four runs and four hits off Smith. In
the next seven innings they got but
three safeties. 1t was not Smiths
fault that the Ohioans got as many
runs as they did. They were two
chances to get men out before a run
scored and if they had been taken

BOOSTS SWEET CLOVER
Good for Stock-Now Being Cultivated
on Farms.

LeaVenworth, Kan, July 1a.-In a
circular letter to all members of the
Ieavenworth Progressive Agriculture
cIub, +. h. Ross, county farm advisor,
is calling attention to the possibilities
OF sweet clover as an additional source
OF revenue to the farmers.
Sweet clover first made it's appear
ance in this section about rs years
ago, crowding out the familiar road
side sunflower and occupying other
neglected places. Stock would not
touch it and the only use made of the
plant was by the bees who pastured
on it's blossom. Gradually, however,
cows and horses have acquired a taste
for 1t and they now relish it as much
as other forage plants. With these
changes has come a big demand for
the seed.
DO you know" writes Mr. Ross to
the club members, that the seed
houses have sold immense quantities
or sweet clover seed during the last
pounds! There are great many
acres of this valuable plant in this
county that annually go to waste. This
clover has as beneficial an effect on
the soil as the other varieties and will
grow on much poorer soils and under
less favorable conditions generally. It's
greatest value. believe, will be as a
green fertilizer on badly washed lands
where other vegetation will not grow.
1t also is rapidly coming into use as a
pasture plant.
Don't be afraid of it. You have
never seen 1t growing to any extent in
pastures, meadows or cultivated fields.
Stock will keep it eaten down in pas
lures and moving or cultivating
kills it.
"Why not cut that strip along the
road and save the seed for sale or for
use, or let the boys make some money
in that way? Handle the same as
alfalfa or clover is handled for seed.
If a huller cannot be obtained the
price of the seed is sufficiently high to
warrant the use of the fail to thresh
it. It threshes very easilY.'

HOLD HOME COMING WEEK.
Manhattan VIII Celebrate Independ
emily From College.

Manhattan. Kan, July 1S.-Manhat-
tan will have a big Home Coming
Week this fall, but the event will be
| held Independent of the f1ftieth ami
versary celebration of the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The Home Coming Week. Will be
the biggest event ever staged here and
1t will have the support of the agri-
cultural college, but it will be an en-
tirely separate affair from the college
anniversary celebration.
This was decided at a meeting of
the committee from the Commercial
club. A few days ago. when the col
lege announced that it would hold a
big celebration this fall to commem
crate the f1ftieth anniversary of the
big institution, it was Immediately
proposed that the city hold a celebra-
ton at the same time. Last night the
committee appointed to report on the
plan recommended that the city and
college hold Home Coming Week"
independent of the college celebration.
The plan now is to hold the Home
Coming Week" some two or three
weeks before or after the college cele-
bration and to make 1t in the nature
of an exhibition of live stock and farm
products, with a program of horse
racing. polo games, street parade and
many side attractions thrown in.

he decided to put Mr.. Ballard on the

President Taft appointed an indus

Taft the only ones retained by Presf-
dent Wilson are Mr.. Delano and the

ABC'S FROM STARS and MOON
German Scholar Shows How We Got
Our Letters From Heavenly Bodies.

| The alphabet has never until now been
explained satisfactorily to scholars,
much less to the laity. The time-worn
suggestion that the first letter in the al
| phabet called Aleph in the Phoenician
and Hebrew, means an OK seemed all
right until the letter was compared
with a real OK. and then it proved I'M
satisfactory, to say the least. That the
second letter, Beth, meant house,
looked a little more plausible, but even
this was not clear enough to satisfy
any one who wanted to know the truth.
1t has remained for Prof Eduard
Stucken, q well-known German scholar.
to show that the real origin of the
alphabet is astronomical, and this he
has done in work just published,
proving his point most clearly and con-
vincingly. Thern can now be no doubt
that the first letters were derived from
the stars in the heavens, and even
their order was fixed by the course
of the moon through the skies.
The ancient Babylonians were great
astronomers, and knew the constella-
lions we'll as any modern astrono-
mer Upon their clay tablets are to be
found figures of Cancer, the Crab,
Capricornus, the Goat and other groups
of stars, even though they saw some of
them differently and grouped them
variOusly.
1t should be remembered that the
Babylonians. to whom the division of
time as still used by us, into twice
II hours of so minutes and 60 seconds
has been traced. were worShipperS of
the moon We knew that the twelve
fold division of the Zodiac, as still used
by astronomers. was plainly suggested
by the occurrence of IL full moons in
the successive parts of 1t in the course
of a year. The Babylonians imagined
that the solar Bull (A) had drawn a
great furrow across the heavens (the
path of the sun through the stars), and
this was divided into IL parts by the
full moons.
Astronomers who have studied the
Babylonian system see that Taurus
held the leading position among the
consultations, and this would sub
stantiate the position of DR.. Stucken,
explaining why Aleph, the Bull, is the
first letter of the alphabet. 1t is also
one of the ancient legends that the
der Taurus, and the Jewish New Year,
held to be the anniversary of the
creation, is in Tishri, plainly con- |
nected with this Zodiacal sign.
Thus Prof. Stucken proves that the |
alphabet is of astronomical origin, !
showing that the order of the alphabet
and especially that A is the first letter,
can be accounted for only upon the ,
ground of these Babyionian ideas.
The other great difficulty which |
might occur to some of US is why then
are there % letters in the ancient al
phabet and not IL, to correspond to
the II full moons? This is answered |
very simply. In the marking of the
various moon stations various posi-
tons Of the stars were also noted, |
seeming to make fiery characters in the
heavens, afterward to be used as the
symbols of written language. In this
way 10 additional characters were add
ed to our Zodiacal signs, as the moon
stations" afterward utilized for the
purpose of the alphabet.-New York
