WAR TAX $1OO,OOO,OOO. Freight SHIPMENTS AND BEER
 TO BEAR THE BURDEN.

Washington, D. C., Sept 1S.-An effort is being made by Congress to levy a war tax of S1OO,OOO,OO0 to make up the deficit in imports due to the European war. It is proposed that the freight shipments bear S65,- 000,000 and peer $35,000,OO0 The transportation companies are used merely as a collection agency of the fund and are to be compensated for their services. Beer is to bear an ad- ditional tax of fifty cents per barrel and the manufacturers of domestic wines also come in for share of the tax burden.
 As an additional relief for war conditions, Senate leaders announce that the Rivers and Harbors appro- priation bill will probably be reduced $25,000,000.

MAE MARSH'S PERFORMANCE
 TOO SOUL REVEALING

Mae Marsh, the young Majestic-Mu- tual Star has received enough letters from screen admirers to fill many a huge scrapbook. Some of her friends in the Los Angeles studios say she has enough of these books to fill many shelves in Carnegie library. Why they put such an onus as that on her and still call themselves her friends is another matter.
 But the diminutive actress, whose work is out of all proportion to her physical size, now and then gets a letter that stands out as different from all the others. And she showed the letter that follows to prove it. It was written by young New York girl. Many very personal things were in the letter and they have been deleted. But the rest of it is interesting:
 My Dear Miss Marsh-I saw The Escape last night and feel impelled to write you few lines of my deep ap- preciation of your beautiful work. There is only one fault that l have to find. Your performance IS too soul revealing-too sacred for the casual observer to look upon.
 "With sincere admiration. "T. s. D."

AUTUMN IN THE WHITE RIVER
 COUNTRY.

Each of the seasons have their pecu- larly pleasing features, but an au- tumn day in the White River Coun- try possesses for the Nature-lover an almost irresistible charm. When the leaves on all the hills turn into flame and the air gets that wood-smoky, leaf-spicy, exhilarating tang, the White River Country is fit place for angels. let alone human beings. The sports of fishing and hunting are at their best. A float trip down the James and White Rivers in the Fall season offers one of the most delight ful outings it is possible to imagine. The Missouri Pacific-lron Mountain has issued a folder that describes this float in detail. Whether you think of taking a few days off or not this fold CT will interest you. Ask the local agent for copy or write to J. c. Hollenbeck, General Passenger Agent St. Louis.

EMERGENCY STATUTE
 TO AID THE FARMERS

Austin, Tex, Sept. 1S.-When Gov. Colouitt signed the emergency ware house bill today. which provides for system of state-owned cotton ware houses he gave to Texas the distinc- ton of being the first and only State in the Union to aid her farmers by legislative enactment during the present European crisis. The Legis- lature was called together in extraor- dinary session to consider this one measure and the bill was promptly passed by both houses by more than the two-thirds majority necessary in this State to enact an emergency law. The emergency bill became a law when signed by the Governor, but it will probably be substituted by a permanent statute when the Legisla- ture meets in regular session next January
 The act is of vital importance to the Texas farmers as it will enable them to hold their cotton until it can be prOftably marketed. Wheat, oats, corn and other non-perishable farm products can be stored, but the law was enacted primarily to meet the cot ton situation, as this staple consti- tutes AT per cent of the value of the annual agricultural production of 'hls State and p per cent of the worlds cotton crop is raised in Texas.
