While the president has not deter

plan, IL is believed that changes are
probable.
The administration is also con-
sidering further slight tariff changes
in order to derive additional rcve-
nue. by increased duties and the pos
sible extension OF the income tax TO
include smaller incomes. Investiga-
ticn OF sugar importations and the
revenue derived during the last few
years is being made for the presi-
dnt. Facts and figures on the
schedules of 1913, 1914 and the
present year will be compiled by GUS
toms officials.
Under the present law the tariff
on sugar becomes effective May /,

reduced and II the present duty is re-
tanned 1t will effect saving Of
about s50,00o,00o annually. The
~ president is reluctant to keep sugar
tariff in effect for several reasons.
One of the strongest of these Is that
a lobby is already organized and

revenue and the political effect thf

the matrimonial knot united.
TO this end she fled suit in the
district court to have the marriage
annuled, alleging in her petition
that her daughter was under four
teen years OF age when married.
When the case was called for
trial both the girl and her husband
declared their love for each other
and their desire to nave the mar
riage contract stand
The court did not see it that way,
however, and entered decree an
nulling the marriage, and the moth
err triumphantly led her daughter
from the courthouse.
But, according to the old saying,
Love laughs at locksmiths," and
while the court had put aside the
marriage contract, the young hus-
band widower refused to stay put
and began trying to gain consent of
the parents.
Meanwhile, the parents divorced
less than year before, had changed
their minds about that, reeonciled
their differences and married again
a few wecka ago.
They listened to the pleas of their
daughter and her was" husband,
and agreed to their remarrying, so

MAkE-BELIEVE LAND.

Land? Well, will tell you how a lit
tie boy and girl made all their work
easy by playing that all the work they
had to do was pleasant and very dlf-
ferent from what it really was. They
called it living in Make-Believe Land.
Hans and Freda lived in country
where it was very cold in the winter
so that they had to work hard in the
summer and spring to get fuel to keep
them warm when the cold days should
come and food to keep the wolf from
the door. Not real wolf, you know,
but hunger that is called the wolf by
some people.

that all the sticks are gold" 1t was

They picked up the golden sticks
and soon they had two big bundles, but
they we're not satisfied. 1--WE should
