Browns out Of the pennant scramble
by taking three straight games when
the Jones clan had a shot for the
top. Fielder bears no great love for
the scene of his former operations
and his players are peeved over the
upset they received.
All of which means that the three
remaining games with the Browns
will be bitterly fought, and nothing
would delight the Mound City en-
tries more than to tumble the Hose
bit farther back of Detroit and
Boston.
From now to the finish it is a ques-
ton Of heart and courage. Mechan-
ical ability is about evenly divided
between the three front runners, and
the nerve and fighting confidence
will tell the tale.
The Sox looked very bad yester-
day, appearing to be playing in a

Larry DoyIe's broken ankle, sus-

Larry will be back next spring as
good as ever, but is badly needed
right now to assist Workman, Pc

GRANDMA IS GOING TO DIE"
STARTLING EVIDENCE IN CASE
AGAINST OLE SOCEM
"Pa Gave Her Potato Poison" Little
Son of Defendant Is Quoted
as Saying.

Jackson, Minnesota. Grandma
is going to die tomorrow; pa gave her
potato poison yesterday"
This startling bit of evidence was
brought out by the prosecution just be-
fore it closed it's case against Ole o.
Solem, wealthy farmer, who is being
tried here for the murder of his bed
ridden mother-in-law, Mrs. Segri
Halderson. The words were spoken,
according to witnesses, by Solem's 8
year-old son in a conversation with his
young cousin the day before Mrs.
IIalderson died.
The boy also told detective that his
father had brought home several pack
ages from Window and forbidden him
to touch them, saying it was "for
grandma" and that he had mixed
something in saucer and had
"smeared it inside of grandmas mouth
with a feather"
Box of Paris Green Found.
A box of paris green was found in a
cupboard by the sheriff, although
Solem denied there was any on the
premises.
DR.. ART of Jackson, who performed
both autopsies, corroborated Professor
Derby's statement in regard to the
comparatively large amounts of ar
senic and copper found in the body Of
Mrs. Halderson.
The case promises to be long and
hard fought. The Judge has continued
all other actions for this term.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have t.
contribute one-quarter to the Govern.
ment. Transportation companies.
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In agri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase Of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds Of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
Of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital Of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
ruror that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the Observation-Disclosures.
