KITTY FOR UNCLE SAM
IN ALL BIG POTS

San Francisco, Feb. 17.-Uncle Sam
is dealing a hand of showdown and
it looks like stacked deck.
Joseph s. Scott. collector OF in
ternal revenue TO rthe Northern Cali
fornia district has officially decided
that all winnings are taxable as
income under this years income tax
law He says profits of card games
bets or other kinds of gambling come
under the head of speculative gain"
and he wants his share
SO when you draw that card that
makes them ''all blue" uncle has his
hand in the pot: when your ten to
one shot comes through he is stand
ing beside the boo.snlaker: and when
YOU pull for a "seven or eleven you
will hear him pulling with YOU
Scott says the law will be enforc-
ed. Stewards and managers of down.
town clubs have been asked to CO.
operate with federal agents to figure
the amount of individual profits OF
members who participate in games OF
chance.
But by a strange Inconsistency the
tax law does not work inversely.
Winnings are taxable. but losses are
not deductible It's anc little game
OF heads 7 win and tails you lose
with Uncle Sam.

CATION Of the situation.
Careful inquiry discloses:
First. that the scarcity Of Foreign
and other labor at the mines has cur-
tailed the output Of coal;
Second. that the North and West are
buying unprecedented quantities OF
coal In the Allegheny district and nav
ing higher prices than Southern deal
ers:
Third, that the recen, extraordinary
cold weather in the South, extending
as far down as Florida has caused an
enormous and sudden increase in coal
consumption in this territory.
BY paying advanced prices. how.
ever. the Atlanta dealers have been
able to secure enough coal to make
deliveries and hence 1t seems certain
that the heavy consumption OF coal in
the North and West is principally re.
sponsible for coal scarcity and hirh
prices in the South.

PROSPECT Of HOSIERY
GROWING MORE SCARCE
Large Orders by Government Would
Make Things Exceedingly Difh-
cult-Many Mills Sold Up.

The hosiery market was very quiet
in New York the past week SO far as
concerned business ahead. Orders
were coming in daily by mail. but
buyers in the market were nothing II
not infrequent.
Goods on order seemed TO be
wanted as badly as heretofore. and
the daily mail. in addition to some ad
vance business. consists of inquiries
as to when shipments OF all our
goods ON order. now overdue. may be
expected?" Some Of the mail asks
for lines of samples. and other COM
munications place orders with some
of the houses up through April and
May to June |.
Much talk ia heard OF possible gov
eminent orders that may he coming.
and agents assert that whatever action
may he contemplated is being kept
very quiet.
One of the largest mills has with
drawn TWO of its leading numbers
from sale. having sold up as far AS
the mill is willing to go+-to the end OF
July in this case--and withdrawal OF
additional numbers is expected mo-
sell no further ahead than the date
above mentioned, determined upon
when the goods were priced, as there
Is no need of ii. In the event Of an
advance in the market which lie
seems to expect rather than Il decline
under the conditions, he Will have
played safe.
On the other hand some agents are
wondering whether certain mills
which have not opened cotton hosiery
for fall as vet will become nervous
when things get quieted down and
buying is again in orde. and offer
merchandise at a concession so as TO
obtain business While none OF the
agents can see any reason why such a
thing should come to- pass. s.i4l-tt-t is
giving them some thought.
On the face Of things. one agent
argues. there is little chance OF any
thing of the kind happening under
present conditions. with hosiery SO
scarce for this season and SO we'll
sold up as far as mills care to 60 for
fall, and also with the prospect OF
the government becoming a preferred
purchaser TO the more or less de-
moraliZs ton of shipments TO private
buyers.
IT Is argued that II the government
Is drawn into war II will he obliged
10 order underwear and hosiery OF
huge scale. and that It's orders woulj
take precedence rightly over contracts
for private consumption, and that IL
would then be even more difficult thHn
now for dealers 20 obtain merchap-
disc.

ground. But at a smaller distance
there can be wider choice for an
tennae-a kitchen stove, balcony,
metal bed or the like, or even a BIZ
cycle or an automobile. The operator
may use his own body for the ground
by attaching the metal clip to his fin
ger, while the other clip goes to the
telephone wire. In this way signals
have reached Paris from a distance
Of no less than go miles.
Most interesting of all, perhaps, and
particularly so from a constructive
viewpoint, is the invention of an cleo
trical contrivance to remove particles
of metal from wounds. This has not
come directly from the war, either,
though it is being used there now in
the best of the base hospitals. 1t
came from Pittsburgh, from the fac
tories which have been furnishing
practically all Of the barbed wire for
the allies intrenchments.
This machine is a powerful electric
magnet that is taking the place Of
the surgeons painful and perilous
probe, and it is one to save countless
lives and untold agony. The removal
of pieces Of shrapnel, steel-jacketed
bullets and other metal substances
from wounds by use of powerful cleo
tro-magnets in the war zone hospitals
has been acclaimed as the very latest
application of science to surgery.

that may develop into proper show
form. This is especially true Of grow
ing animals, for one cannot tell with
certainty how they may develop with
age.
Live stock intended for shows should
be fed a well balanced ration over
sufficiently long period to make them
fat and sleek at show times. This is
called "bloom" in the show ring. Many
of the most fancy animals are kept in
roomy box stalls during the day in
the warm weather, but are turned out
at night for exercise and some grass.
A pasture field consisting Of mixed al
falfa and Bermuda grass would be
splendid for this purpose. Nothing is
better than oats for any kind of live
stock, and a mixture of oats, corn and
barley in equal proportions should
prove satisfactory This should be
ground finely and the animals fed three
times a day. Roughage may consist
Of alfalfa hay, silage, Sudan grass
and other folders. One Of the secrets
of making "bloom" on animals is to
give them a great variety of feed as
possible, and feed them often. Most
of the winning animals at the best
fairs are fed four or five times day,

SELECT BEST STOCK
FOR SHOW AT FAIRS
Best Way to Keep Up-to-Date in
Business and Effect Improve
ment in Farm Animals.

(By DIR. r. H. WILLIAMS, Arizona Elk
pertinent Station.)
1t is important that every breeder
of improved stock show his animals
at both county and state fairs. Al
though the expense of showing may
be considerable, yet this is the best
way to keep up-to-date in business,
to effect improvement, and also adj
vertise your animals. The show ring
is the years measure which is used
to compare the relative merits of the
animals owned by the different breed
ers.
One requires several years of ex-
perience to enable him to select the
best animals in his herd for the show
ing. Commence as early as August
to prepare for the state fair which
comes in November. Select the best
animals you have, and if there is any
question about this choice it is al
ways wise to include all the animals

Taillebois is not Catholic. He as

priests and parishioners Of Orleans
and the surrounding country, officiated
in several churches and chapels, heard
confessions, administered communion
in many communes, all the while re-

from an attempt to preach in a church

TIMELY POINTS FOR
BREEDERS OF SWINE
Of Much Benefit to Get Pigs on
Observation-Disclosures Helps
Solve Labor Problem.

(By J. w. WUICHET, Ohio College Of
Agriculture0
Get the pigs out on pasture as soon
as possible. 1t will benefit both the
pigs and the pasture, provided the
pigs are taken off during wet weather.
A bushel of corn fed on some good
pasture is worth two fed in dry lot.
Red clover, alfalfa, rape, soy beans
and bluegrass all make excellent pas
ture for pigs. For efficiency they
rank in the order given. Provide
some shade in the pasture and some
shelter from bad weather. The pigs
will show their appreciation in In
creased returns.
The use of a self-feeder will help
in the labor problem, but self-feeder
needs replenishing just the same as
the feed bin. Shell the corn for the
self-feeder and have separate COM
partment for tankage. If the pigs are
pretty small, it will be advisable to
provide the middlings in addition.
With the pigs on some legume pasture,
little tankage or middlings is neces-
sary.
Do not let the pigs wean them
selves. Take the sow away from the
pigs when they are about ten or
twelve weeks old and give her next
litter a fair start in life. Take the SOW
away from the pigs and not the pigs
from the SOW. In this way the pigs
will be left in their accustomed lot
and will be less likely to- notice the
change in their living conditions. Keep
the pigs growing, for each day passed
without some gain in weight is loss
to the feeder.
