Piece He Plowed Under Six

Story City, June IF. w. All

of town six years ago, and the other
day he found it out in his field while
blowing.
The watch case is of nickeloid and
when recovered it was as black as
mud. Upon opening the case Mr.. All
rens discovered that the works seem
ed to be in good shape and he took
the watch to Mr. Ellingson, one of
our watchmakers, to see what could
be done with it.
Mr.. EllingsOn reports that the
watch Is now running as we'll as ever,
after a good cleaning Even the case
has got back most Of it's lustre, after
a thorough rub down" on the cleo

It is supposed that the reason the
works did not rust-at least the steel
parts, is that the watch must have had
a pretty strong dose of oil when it
was rlCwed down six years ago. 9th

"RoOSTER WEEK" SCORES.
In Kansas Chanticleer Was Swatted
Extensively.

Rooster Week" was a big success
in Kansas, according to letters receiv-
ed by Profitable Farming from deal
ers in that state. One firm bought
10000 pounds of roosters during the
week, paying bonus of 1 cent
pound for them, or a total of 500.
"The movement has improved the
quality of summer eggs very much"
writes G. E. Hanna, an Atchison
poultry and egg dealer. I'm fact we
think that when the farmer gets &C
customed to cleaning up his roosters
in May we will have very little trou-
BILE with bad eggs, as all are learning
to gather their eggs promptly each
day and to get them to market. This,
together with 'swatting the rooster
will help the quality of the western
egg very much

ent form the bill doubles the basis
rate of the income tax and increases
the sur-taxes retaining the existing
exemptions. This feature of the bill
is expected to yield s1O0.OO0O0O a
year. Il also carries a per cent. tax
on inheritances which is expected to
produce about S50.000,000 II Is es-
timated the proposed tax on NUM-
tions of war will yield from S50,000,-
600 to S60,OO0.OO0. The features of
the existing war revenue act that are
to be retained are known quantities
and will produce as they are now
sac. 600. 900 a year. This makes up a
total Of $24O,OO0O0O.
To Jump Income Tax Receipts.
If another S100,000,000 has to be
raised by taxation, il is altogether
probable that the Democrats will re-
wise the income tax sections Of the
pending revenue bill. The proposed
taxes on inheritances and munitions
are largely speculative. the leaders
say, whereas they can determine with
almost mathematical certainty what
the income tax will produce.
Under existing laws the surtax oper-
ates against incomes Of $4,000 and
more The pending bill provides that
the surtax shall operate at $4,000.
That these rates will be materially
increased and the surtax possibly ap-
piled to all incomes in excess of $1O,-
600 or $4,000 is probable.
There Is also a chance that the tax
fixers would be compelled to reduce
the exemptions. now $4,000 for mar
ried men and $4,000 for single men.
The present bill provides for the re-
peal of the stamp taxes of the existing
war act. If Congress proceeds TO
raise the additional s1O0,O0O,0O0 by
taxation it may be forced to retain
some Of the stamp rates.
It is the hope Of the leaders to get
the revenue bills in shape for passage
early in July. Final action on the
measure may be deferred until the ex-
act amount that is to be appropriated
for national defence can be definitely
determined.
