WOULD BE AMERICAN CITIZEN
Hindu Girl Seeks Privilege, With tho
Idea Of Securing a Medical d.
pIoma In the Future.

To work out her ambition to be an
independent twentieth century wom-
an, forever throwing aside the cher
ished ideals of her native country as
to the sequestration Of woman, Kanta
Chandra, nineteen-year-old miss
from Delhi, India, has taken the first
step toward her emancipation by ap-
plying for citizenship papers. She is
the first woman of the Hindu race to
seek naturalization in San Francisco,
the Chronicle of that city states.
Though of the dark skin that has
for ages differentiated her race from
the blond type of Europe, the Hindu
girl anticipates no trouble In realiz-
ing her aspiration of becoming citi-
zen. Unhesitatingly she wrote the
word white" in the blank for the
color of the applicant.
IF you get married to a man not
an American" warned Deputy Clerk
Carl A. Calbreath of the United States
district court to the brown-eyed maid
en-, you lose your citizenship"
ooh, there's no chance of my get
ting married; I'm not going to marry
anybody" Miss Chandra replied.
"They want me to marry and go back
to India, but / never will"
Kanta Chandra is student. She
came from Delhi in 1910. Some day
she hopes to get medical diploma.

FRENCH TAX ON AMERICANS
Those Having "HabItuaI Residences"
In France Arc Classified and
Must Pay.

The monthly bulletin of the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce describes
the new French income tax, especially
as It affects foreigners residing in
France, says the New York Sun.
Article of the law says: "A
general income tax Is due on January
/ of each year from all persons hav-
Ing habitual residence in France.
Those persons are considered to have
q habitual residence in France who
have a dwelling at their disposition
either as proprietors, benefciaries by
usufruct or tenants, when In the lat.
ter case the lease is arranged either
by single agreement or by success
sive agreements for a continuous Pc
ricd of at least one year."
Article IL says: "As far as per-
sons not domiciled in France, but
having one or more residences there
are concerned, the taxable income Is
fixed at sum equal to seven times
the rental value of such residence or
residences unless the income derived
by the taxpayer from properties. en-
terprises or professions located or ex-
ercised in France reaches higher
figure, in which case the latter amount
is taken for the basis of the tax"
Americans living in Paris or else
where in France are thus divided by
law into two classes-those pursuing
a gainful business or professional oc-
cupation and those who do not. Those
not engaged in business must pay a
tax, their income being estimated at
seven times the rental value of the
one or more establishments which
they contract to take for continuous
period of one year. Those engaged in
business whose income exceeds seven
times the rental value of their one or
more places of residence must make
a declaration of their total income
from French sources only. The law
does not apply in the case Of the lat
ter to income derived from property
held elsewhere than in France.

PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Implements Exposed TO Moisture Rust
Out RapidIy-Coat All Metals
With Cheap Oils.

Machinery, where exposed to nois-
ture, rusts out very rapidly. In fact.
rust does more damage to the ex-
posed machinery than the work which
the implement Is called upon to do.
This is a needless waste, however,
because rust can practically be over
come by taking the proper care Of the
machine when not in use.
Farmers could get more than twice
as much wear out of most implements,
If they were housed properly. This
alone will not suffice in some climates.
A very good way to keep the rust from
attacking iron parts exposed to mois-
ture is to coat all the iron with very
cheap oil. This oil should be thick
and heavy, so that when applied to
the iron 1t will not run of.
This coating of oil will keep all Of
the moisture away from the iron and
therefore will prevent rust from start
ing.

DOES POPCORN PAY7I
Foundation Of Agriculture in
Many Of the States.
Profit Depends Largely on Farmers
Ability to Secure Good Quality,
Store Crop Properly and Mar

(By C. p. HARTLEY


The question Does it pay to grow
POPCORN" is frequently asked, and the
answer is yes" 1t pays to grow pop
corn, but owing to the limited market
for this crop 1t would not be advisable
to begin its culture on a large scale.
The supply al present just about
equals the demand. No farmer should
expect to grow rich in few years
time by growing popcorn. II the good
years are averaged up with the poor
ones, this crop will be found to pay
about as well as field corn. Any farm
er In the corn-producing states can
produce popcorn, but the profit de-
Ponds largely upon the producers abil-
ity to grow popcorn of good quality,
store his corn properly. and market 1t
advantageously.
The main portion of the crop which
find its way to the large markets Is
grown in few localities in Iowa and
Nebraska by farmers who make a
specially of producing and handling
popcorn. Usually from 10 to 80 acres
are grown on single farms.
During the past, much of the crop
was grown on contract, but at present
farmers are becoming more independ-
ent. Many have cribs of their own in
which they store aud cure their crop
and take chances on the market ris-
ing higher than the contract price
or the price at harvest time. In Iowa
and Nebraska elevator men have been
accustomed to buying up the bulk Of
