TO ENCOURAGE SCHOOL
GARDENING This YEAR
CHILDREN WILL DO TINE WORK


The following is an excerpt from II
communication received recently by
Miss Goebel. county superintendent
Of schools, from Manette A. Myers.
director of industrial education, at
the department of education, Santa
Fe:
"Now is the time to have II school
garden in every school in your coun-
ty. II conditions are such that il is
impossible to have garden in the
school yard. have at least window
garden. Plant some seeds at school.
and allow the child to plant part of
the seeds at home in home garden.
thus connecting the home and school
more closely. Free seeds can be OBJ
tanned from the United States De
pnrtment of Agriculture, Washington,
ID. C., aud many seed companies fur
nish either free seeds for schools.
or penny packets which practically
eliminate the cost.
"Please have trees and shrubs
planted in the school yards this
spring."
The foregoing is of Importance to
all who are interested in civic i'm
provement or education, and in that
every district in the county is well
supplied with plots of from one to
twenty acres. il seems possible that
wonders could be- accomplished in
teaching even the smaller children
the fundamentals of agriculture.
A number of the schools in the
county have already planted seeds.
In the Hondale district, improvements
prs, moring along rapidly. The school
yard has been fenced recently. and a
windmill has been installed by the
school board.
The Dcming High School campus
contains twenty acres and offers the
best of opportunities for instruction
in agriculture. The ground is to be
planted in something in the way of
forage crops this spring, and will
likely then be in shape for further
developments.
The Myndus school has for its use
four acres: Tunis, four; Lewis Flats.
three: Mayo, two; Luxor. two; CO.
lumbus. three: and Haywood. one
acre.

JUDGE REFUSES
TO THROW OUT
WARDELL SUIT

Federal JUDGE Charles F.. Clemens
in an opinion handed down today, de
MED motion by the defendant to dis
miss the $4,000 damage suit brought
by Farm Cornn, the local Chinese in
terpreter and real estate agent, againsi
Justus s. Wardell, surveyor of Gus
toms of San Francisco.
The suit, which alleges SANDER, war
originally filed in circuit court an6
was remanded to the U. S. court by
Judge Stuart Judge Sanford B. Dolo
held that the suit was properly in the
federal court, as the defendant was
sued for alleged SANDER uttered by {
federal official "colore officii." JEFF
McCarn, as attorney for Wardell
moved to. dismiss the case altogether
on the ground that the defendant was
not a resident of the district where
served with process, but Is resident
of the northern district of California
The next development in the case
probably will be an opinion which
either will keep the case in the fed
eral court or remand it back to the
circuit court for trial.
The plaintiff alleges in his complain:
that early last September. in the hall
way on the third floor of the fedora
building, Wardell called him certain
unendearing names, such as 'impudeni
dog" ''crook" and "opium smuggler.'

War MAKES BIG
DIFFERENCES in
FEDERAL Income
Customs Receipts Decrease
But Internal Revenues Gain;
Beer Beats Whisky

How deeply the great wHr in Eu
rope has affec.ea the financial income
OF the United States is shown in a
remarkable way Ey the report OF the
SCI rotary Of he treasury for The fis-
Gil year 1915. z copy OK which has
just been receivedSby the Star-Bulle-
tin.
During the year receipts in the in
ternal revenue department have in
creased, mainly through the emergen.
cy or war tax, by leaps and bounds,
jumping from $3.50, GAL ,007. 80 last year
to $415, 669, SAC for this year. This is
a gain of approximately $S5,O00.0 900.
On the other hand the customs re-
ceipts have dropped heavily, their de-
crease being approximately $4,000
900 since last year. The receipts of
last year were $292,320,Ol4, while this
year they are but 5000, 7S6, 672.21, This
decrease is, of course, due to the drop
ping off in imports from other coun-
tries.
5. BY the emergency tax alone there
was brought In a total Of $23. Az, $685.
"a. The special banker tax produced
"a, 067,1 7e.1S, the corporation tax
brought in sSs ,155, 5ss.77. anc the in
diVsdual income tax is responsible for
81, GAG, 1929. Other receipts were
from tobacco and spirits.
Prohibition has done its part in
leading people away from hard drinks,
such as whisky, brandy and so on, and
inducing them to turn to che milder
beverage, beer.
There has been a decrease in dis.
titled liquors taxes since last year of
SHAFTS. 477.94. while fermented liquors,
of which beer is the commonest form,
increased taxes by $12,247, 4S4z7. This
is probably due to the feeling which
is gaining strength over the United
States that the stronger drinks should
be abandoned.
Since 1911 the internal revenue tax
has been ahead of the customs re-
ceipts. Previous to that time the Gus
toms receipts were in the lead. The
cost of collecting internal revenue
taxes averages 1.5 cents on every dol.
lar taken In, while the cost OF collect
ing customs receipts is 4.42 cents on
the dollar. 81
