Slowly her eyes wandered round the

rested on something standing on the

1t was baby's money box. Her
hands clutched the chair convulsively.

But what would John say?"
For few moments she stood de-

infested corn, sorghum, katir, milo.
ETC., in some cases several may be
found alternating in punches of grass
removed by considerable distances
from the infested fields. 1t is, there
fore, imperative. for the farmer to find
out whether his grasses are harbor-
ing a dangerous number of bugs This
can be determined by parting the
bunch grass and carefully examining
the mulch of soil and decayed grass
which usually gathers at the base
of the stems.
Experiments covering four years
show conclusively that the late fall
and early winter is the time to fight
the chinch bug. At this season or
during November and early December
they are congregated in the grasses
which grow along the roadsides, and
fences, in pastures, meadows, ravines
and waste places, and since. it is an
easy matter for each farmer to burn
these off, 1t should be done just as
soon as conditions will permit of good
burning. In the greater part of the
infested area this year the per cent
of grass land on the farm is small.

place in days time and the cost is

A Ga. man was able to keep 1t up

he changed his food supply. He says:

Listen to Experts.

The science OF finance is as much a
science as is the science of chemis-
try. 1t has It's history and its laws.
There are experts who are qualified to
deal with it-and experts who have no
selfish interests to serve. These
should be frankly consulted. OF course,
1t is for the people to say whether they
will follow their advice. But the point
we make is that such advice should
have very great weight. 1t is no dis
credit to man that he does not un-
derstand highly technical subject
that he has never studied 1t is GER
tainly not to his discredit IL he is
swayed by the counsel Of man who
has studied it-provided he is con-
WINGED Of that mans honesty and pa

Income Lax of SIS Per Cent.

We are told by certain critics Of
the income tax provision Of the Under
wood bin that 1t is "confscatory" be-
cause, in the case of very large in
comes, 1t levies as much as five per
cent. If the income tax is con-
fiscatory. then what In the name Of
percentages are state and municipal
taxes? They are so much heavier
that the income tax is mere baga-
telle by comparison.
Take, for example, the case Of St
Louis man owning a four per cent
bond. Our local rate of taxation
state and municipal-is 2.22 per cent.
of the value Of the bond. II the bond
stands at par, that is, of course, 2.22
per cent of it's face.
What part Of the income from the
bond Is thus taken by taxation? More
than So per cent.-the proportion that
222 bears to 4. No one exclaims at
this kind of taxation, or seems to think
very much about it.; but when the fed
eral government lays an income tax
which is trifling beside it, there Ia
complaint and objection.
AS matter Of fact, is not system Of
taxation, not based on income, that
calmly appropriates 55 per cent, of the
income from certain sorts of property
one that needs revision and recasting?
And Is not the income tax principle
clean and equitable?-St. Louis Re-

few bugs are found behind the corn

land do not need to be burned over.
for the few bugs that are there will
die before spring.
lnasmuch as cooperative and thor
ough work are very essential in order
to make the burning successful, every
county infested with the chinch bugs
should organize for a complete de-
struction of the winter quarters of
the chinch bug. If the organization
is made a county affair, supported and
encouraged not only by the county
commissioners, and the other county
officers, but by every township Off
cial, the results naturally would be
far more effective than If the work
is taken up only locally. Every To-
cal organization, such as the Farm

the Farmers Union, the Anti-Horse

support and help in making the work
effective. The several county and dis
