Taxing Future Bond Issues

WASHINGTON advices state that a move
w ment to make the next issue of bonds or
certificates by the government taxable and
bearing higher rate of interest is gaining
influential support in the House.
The proposition involves a departure from
the established policy OF the government, and
Is OF doubtful wisdom. The argument that
the possessors OF large capital invest In the
issues In order to escape taxation may readily
be admitted without invalidating the sound
ness OF the principle OF the nontaxable policy
as the government is in a position where It
must obtain its money to finance the war
from the large possessors OF capital, and to
make the fotation of the loan successful the
necessary inducements must be offered
While higher rate Of interest would operate
TO Offset the taxes imposed on the issue, even
that assurance as an inducement to subscribe
to the loan would not be altogether as salts

Easter at St. Mary's Church.


Easter at St. Mary's was celebrated
with impressive services. First mass
with sermon was celebrated by Rev.
N. Weya, with special music by the
children choir. Ten o'clock high mass
was conducted by Rev. Bernard Weyer,
at which the pastor, Rev. N. Weyor,
delivered two short sermons, one in
English and one in German, appropriate
to the Easter festival.
The large choir rendered Easter
Bells' and j. Wiegand's mass in very
creditable manner. Solos by Mrs. Jacob
Ketter and Miss Eva Schmit and the
mems chorus were especially pleasing.
Special violin music by John Gray, Jr.,
and Charles Morgan and the cello music
by Alloys Daum was greatly enjoyed.
The affairs were beautifully adorned
with carnations, lilies and other flow
ers. Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment and Tie Deum closed the services.

mining engineering students at the
University of Wisconsin.
An attempt will be made to demon.

practicable it will effect great increab,
in the annual production of zinc.
The purpose of the experiment is to
segregate zinc by means of dissolving
in sulphuric acid. The ore is first
roasted and the sulphides of zinc are
broken up. Zinc sulphates and oxides

aud subjected to various minor pro-
cessos which finally eliminate the other

Go 20 Church.

Going to church is waste Of time. "
Going to church does me no good
Il can get more out of reading a book,
or in going for walk, than by going
to church" How often such reasons
as these are given by those who are
not regular in church attendance, or
who do not go at all. If the only rea-
son for going to church is ''to get some
thing out of it. these answers are f.
nal. But there is deeper reason, a
reason that has an appeal to man be-
cause of what he is, no. because of
what he may get. The church invites
man to come quite as much as work
er, helper. a giver of himself, as it
does TO come as receiver The de-
sire to give is higher motive 1t is
more blessed to give.
What greater recompense in the
world can a man ask than the clear
eye, clean mind, high ideals, and re-
spectacle bearing of n son. The church
fosters the spirit expressed by these
things. Ideals are more important
than business acumen The two COM
bined make real man. IL is a mans
privilege to do this bit to help. He
can show his colors by going to church.
His son and other fellows son will see
