TRIES TO APPEASE THEN
Kaiser's Conference With Leader:
of the Reichstag.

Copenhagen, July 23.-Emperor
williams conference with the par
.liamentary leaders Friday evening is
treated by the German newspapers,
received here, as an earnest of his
determination hereafter to maintain
and cultivate closer relations with
parliament, perhaps as the begin
ming of q new era of common work
of the people and parliament and the
government and the Crown, although
the simultaneous warning Is uttered
against attaching any excessive
weight TO the meeting.
The proceedings took the line of
informal conversations between the
Emperor and the members Of the
Reichstag. the Emperor, as usual,
prescribing the subject for conversa-
ton. The Emperor evidently aimed
to impress his auditors with the great
success of the submarine warfare,
which. according to the Vossische
Zeitung. he decribcd as working be-
You'd all expectations and bringing
nearer England's sure destruction.
The exhaustive details related by the
Emperor perhaps may have affected
the representatives Of the Left, who,
when Or. Machaelis in his Reichstag
speech Thursday referred to false
prophets who had done the father
land a disservice by setting a definite
date for Great Britain's end. ma
liciously shouted in chorus, "He'f-
fcrich,' referring to Dr.. Karl Helf-
ferich. vice chancellor.
Emperor William seems to have
paid less attention to the question
of reform. The Tageblatt says he
avoided politics, while another ac-
count says Philipp Scheidenann, the
Socialist leader, tactful.y rcfraincd
from pressing him concerning pr!iti-
cal conditions.

This was the largest hog to go away
on foot from this market this season.
He brought about the price of the

is said to have been less than half
what it will take to produce bale of
cotton,-maybe worse than that when
the boil weevil starts his bad behavior.

MooNsHINE DISTILLERY BILL
MAKES MOONSHINING' FELONY

Atlanta, Ga, March "a bill to
make it a felony to manufacture liquor
will be introduced in the legislature
at the forthcoming extra session by
Representative Culpepper of Merl-
wether county, who declared yester'
day in Atlanta that the moonshine
distillery has become the most serl'
Gus feature of the prohibition situa-
ton. ...-
'Distilleries have sprung up in COM
munities where they never existed
before" said Representative Culpep-
per. "The sale of corn liquor, which
is usually the kind made by moon
shine distilleries, has steadily increas-
ed since the present prohibition laws
went into effect on May 1, 1916. The
passage of bone dry laws prohibiting
the shipment of any quantity OF liquor
into the state for any purpose will
not be sufficient to put the moonshner
out of business. After the legislature
has passed the bone dry laws at the
extra session, the moonshine distillery
will still flood the state with corn
LIQUOR unless the penalty for manufac-
turing liquor is made so severe that
the moonshiners will go out of bust
ness. l propose to introduce bill
to make it a felony to manufacture
liquor. When the Inoonshiners face
the penitentiary without the privilege
of paying a fine, moonshining will not
look nearly so attractive. Recently
the sheric of Troup county, adjoin-
ing the county l represent, was shot
from ambush and killed, while engag-
ed in raiding moonshine distillery.
Corn lisuor is the worst of all liquor,
and the moonshine distillery is the
worst enemy to the farmer who must
depend on sober, reliable labor"
In his call for the extra session,
Governor Harris made the provision
sufficiently broad to include legislation
against the manufacture of liquors as
well as against it's shipment into the
state. This was done by the governor,
it is understood, at the request of Rep
resentative Cuipepper, who called the
governors. attention to the serious
menace Of the moonshine distillery.

GENTRY OF PONY SHOW
FAME HAS BIG JOB NOW

Denver Colo, March 13-There is
new happiness for Americas child
hood in the future, and that happi-
ness extends also to manhood and to
womanhood and to everyone who re-
members the happiness of the days of
their youth when they gazed for the
first time upon the announcement of
the dog and pony show" For, after
forty years of amusing children, Hen
ry B. Gentry, the best loved Snowman
of Americas childhood, has turned
his attention to bigger things. And
this time he is starting forth to make
the Sells-Floto Circus as much of a
necessity for persons of all ages as
the Gentry Dog and Pony Show was
to childhood
The great Western circus, with its
5000 a day expense and it's three cars
of material, is now in the hands OF
Mr.. Gentry. He has sold his interest
in the Gentry Dog and Pony Show and
is devoting his whole time to the build
ing Of the circus for the summer sea
son, when it will come forth entirely
new, to be the most novel circus in
America And experimenting every
thing is Henry B. Gentry himself. Not
drop of paint goes upon a wagon
until Mr.. Gentry has tested it. Not
an idea is carried out until it meets
with favor at Mr. eGntry's hands.
And when the big job is finished
this spring circus Of new beauties and
new splendors will come forth to bring
forth new delights to Americas cir
Gus going populace.
For forty years Mr. Gentry has
been gathering ideas. When he own
ed the dog and pony show, that was
too small for those ideas to be put in
to execution But with the $2,000,000
property OF the Sells-F1oto Circus there
is room for every change that Mr.. Gen.
try desires to make. And he cirtain-
ly is making them.
incidentally, every rule that made
for comfort and cleanliness and cour-
tesy in the dog and pony shows is to
be enforced on Sells-Floto. Il intend
to make the happiest circus in Ameri-
ca, where wonders shall never cease"
sand Mr.. Gentry. And circus men
who have seen his plans agree that he
is accomplishing his object.

REVENUE RECEIPTS
SHOW BIG INC REASE
Government Will Derive $3oo,ooo,ooo
From icnome Taxes, or More Than
Double Receipts.

Washington, Mach 13.-Preliminary
reports to the treasury department
from every section of the country
since March 1, indicate that the gov
eminent will collect $300,000000 in
income taxes during the current fis-
cal year or about two and half times
as much as during the preceding
twelve months. In all, the internal
receipts are expected to exceed $780,
600 900, an increase of nearly $200,000,-
900. The time for filing income re-
turns expired March l, but the totals
have not yet been tbulated. The es-
innate of $3O0,OOO,00O is based on a
study of such returns as have already
come in and general conditions of pros
perity. Most of the increase is due
to the higher rate OF taxation provided
for by congress last September.
Included in this total, are collec-
lions actually made up to the present
aggregating about $25,O0O000 This is
$1,000, 900 more than was collected by
this time last year.
