SOMETHING THAT WILL REALLY
MAKE BIG BUGS SHELL OUT

John D. Rockefeller, Andy Car
negie, Og Armour and several other
gents and ladies who have more
money than they really need will be
stung and stung plenty if the new
income tax law introduced in con-
gress becomes law.
John D. will have to pony up
100000 a year to the support of
the government, whether he elected
it or not Johns brother, Bill, will
only have to come through with
100000. Carnegie must pay tax of
100000, and the estate of Marshall
Field must pay each year $240,000
of the money it has made paying low
wages to department store girls.
On the estimated incomes of sew
eral millionaires, the following tax
will be imposed: George F. Baker,
100000; Henry Phipps, 100000;
Henry c. Prick, 100000; ]. P. Nor
gan estate, 100000; w. K Wander
bilt, 500, 000;, John Jacob Aston es-
tate, $40, 600; J.. j. Hill, $4,000; E.
H. Hartman estate, $146, 1000; w. P.
Moore, Arthur c. James and Thomas
F. Ryan, $100, 1000 each; Edward Nor
ris and ]. Ogden Armour, 100000

If the bill becomes law, and the
tax is collected, there are a whole lot
of us who can sit back and give the
plutes the merry, merry. Our own
tax right now would be about five
cents, but by heck the horrible fate
of these millionaires doesn't make us
afraid to accept raise if it is handed
out.

FEED THE GAME
BIRDS IN WINTER

With the wintertime close at hand
and snow threatening to make IL diff
fcult for game birds to forage, the
proper sort of sportsman thinks OF
the feathery ones and provides for
their comfort by giving them food
and shelter Reports from various sec
tions of the country concerning great
geese fights would indicate a severe
winter.
Forest and Stream in an editorial
has the following to say about winter
feeding and care of game birds. II
says: Give wild things the least bit
of wilderness and they will survive
in spite of nature and man. But
you cannot preserve birds and at the
same time starve them and refuse
them nesting places and shelter from
inclement weather The sportmans 5

mentioned; winter without shelter

WILL MEET SMYRNA
HIGH NEXT TIME

Penlyn Hall went to Camden yes
erday afternoon and We're defeated
by the high school team of that place,
Al TO IS. The Camden lads were fif-
teen or twenty-five pounds TO a man
heavier than the Ponlyn squad
and used their weight to good ad-
vantage. This was the first game Of
the season for the "skeeters' and
from their showing, they look good
to equal last years record of 2S vic
tories out of 81 games played and
we're admitted to be the Eastern
Scholastic champions.
The star of the game was Captain
Shirley, who besides shutting his op-
ponent out, was the mainstay of the
Camden team in floor work and drop
ped in seventy-twO pointers.
The local team performed better
than at any time this year. The sub
stitution OF Marston for Jack seemed
to add a great deal TO the team work
and cut down the number of fouls
called. Their best work was done in
the first half when they held the
score to rs to 8.
On Friday night Penlyn Hall will
meet Smyrna II. s., at Y. M. G. A. Hall
and a good game is promised.
The score:

Walter Jones' crime is considered the

returned within "a hours. Less than two

Jones had been declared guilty of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to death
The convicted man appealed. but the SUI
preme court affirmed the case. An ap-
plication for rehearing was made II
was denied. The state board of pardons
