this organization adopted the follow ing resolution, on September 30, 1915:
 Resolved,-That this Congress comments the foreign policy of Presi- dent Wilson, while standing at the head of the American nation during one of the most critical and trying periods of it's history.
 Resolved, That we express abso- lute confidence in his courage, patriot ism and diplomatic ability.
 'Resolved,-Thatw we offer him our loyal support in his effort to protect the rights of American citizens and to maintain impartial neutrality"
 This direct and critical rebuttal of the attacks of MT. Hughes on Presi- dent Wilson. coming from the head of so powerful an organization shows that the farmer is not easily fooled by political buncombe.

WORLDS SERIES FACTS.

The Athletics will not take part in this years series.
 The Cincinnati Req have yet to
 lose a worlds championship. Bill Klem has been called robbeI in seven wor1d's series-es. Pitchers are permitted to use but one wing in throwing the pellet. This years series is the thirteenth
 annual championship ticket scandal. The worlds series was invented in 1884, but the culprit made good his
 escape.
 Providence won the first series from
 New York in 1884 by three straight
 games and no crooked ones. I There is an unwritten law which prohibits the players of the St. Louis
 clubs from sharing the prize money. About 5000 people paid a dollar each to see the first worlds series games, some of the rabid fans travelling sev- eral miles for the purpose. The softest job in the world is sit ting on the bench through a worlds series, seeing the games for nothing,
 and then getting slice of the kale. The fans .have to travel by train, boat, street car, automobile or other costly conveyances in order to see the
 worlds series, but the players ride the umpires.
 Since the great series was inaugur- ated 2,457 baseball experts have de- voted 7,562,458,96 newspaper columns to picking the winner, and they have always come within one of it, the lucky stiffs.
 The Alexandria library was burned by Julius Caesar in AT B. C., which
 is why so little is known of the early career of Eddie Plank.
 Connie Mack managed baN club | in the American League from the time it was organized up to last year Honus Wagner, the young fellow who was tried out at first base by
 Callahan, is likely to develop into a
 regular at that position next year. Jesse Burkett let out road. be-
 cause the Eastern League club that
 was wished on him was, dropped from
 the circuit. Some fellows would be
 peevish at a dentist for pulling ar
 aching tooth.

MUNITIONS TAX AND REVENUE BILL
 IS WORKED OVER
Flat Tax Rate on All Muni- tions of War and Concerns Enjoying Unusual Benefits Urged by Senate.

! WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Complete
 revision of the munitions tax section . of the House revenue bill and sweep | ing increases in the inheritance tax
 were considered at the Democratic
 caucus today by members of the Sen ate finance committee. The proposed higher taxes on big inheritances
 would increase the estimate revenue from the section from S54,000,000 to S72,000,000 annually. Retaining the House bill taxes of one per cent on estates over S50,000 graduated up to five per cent on those in excess of S450,000, the committee added sche-
 dules of six per cent on net estates
 in excess of S1,000,000; seven per cent on S2,000,O0O to $3,00O,000; eight per cent on s3,OO0,O00 to s4,OOO,OOO; nine per cent on S4,O00,OO0 to 5000, 900
 and ten per cent on estates in excess of S5,000,000.
 In revising the munitions tax the
 committee struck out the varying , rates provided in the House bill for munitions of war, powder, explosives, shells, cartridges, projectiles, prod lcts of copper and the like, and de- cided to substitute fiat uniform tax on all of these Commodities. Deter mining that the tax should be made net profit tax on the manufacture the committee also decided to add the following commodities utilized in mak ing munitions.
 Steel bills, ignots, blooms, shells, forgings, denatured alcohol and cot ton linters and in addition, chemicals actually used in the manufacture Of munitions would be taxed The rate to be imposed still is to be deter mined.
 In Consideration of revision of the
 munitions section, Secretary McAdaa said the committee had submitted
 statistics showing that upon all CT the commodities added to the taxable list profits have been abnormal since the beginning of the European war. The income tax section was com pleted during the day, the committee
 retaining the normal tax of two per
 cent on all incomes in excess Of
 $4,O 900 and S3,OO0 respectively for married and single persons, addins
 the special tax of one per cent on in- comes in excess of S3,000 and S2,000 respectively for married and single persons, retaining the surtaXes as proposed in the House bill, with ex- ception of an increase from 10 to 13 per cent on incomes in excess Of S1, 100000 All of the proposed changes
 are subject to the approval of the Democratic caucus.
