the amount OF excess profits. as de
scribed above. you are ready TO
figure the amount OF tax YOU will
have 10 pay. First. find out what
per cent these excess profits are Of
the actual capital for the present
year Then apply the following
rates:

The figures continued to leap and fin
ally lunatic fired his gun at weak
peanut, who was later to inherit a

and the war continues.
To insure permanent peace at the
close of the war Mr.. Hartin believes
it is necessary to preach peace much
as education has eliminated liquor
from a great portion of the United
States. Education and that alone will
give us peace, he says, and if we do
not have peace at the close of this
war it would be better if the whole
race of man was blotted from exist
ence. Future wars, if they do come,
will increase in horribleness as much
as this one surpasses the Civil war.
Rare musical talent incorporated in
the Beulah Buck Ladies' Quartet was
the universal favorite of the Tuesday
afternoon audience. Each member
of the company is master of her part.
Their voices blended without the
slightest variation. Solo and encore
numbers were especially compliment
ed and the readings by Mrs. Buck
captivated without exception. For
musical entertainers the Beulah Buck
Ladies' Quartet ranks high in the
country to-day. The company also
gave a half-hour prelude to HI. L..
Fogleman's lecture of the evening on
"An Analysis of Success and Fail
ure"
Fogleman takes the stand that ev-
cry man is salesman Of something.
Executing his belief he sold his hear
ers of Tuesday night during the first
few minutes of his talk. He kept
them sold through the entire hour and
a half allotted his lecture. The
speaker urged every person to- be-
come fully developed, square per-
son. The four sides of the square, he
said, should be Adaptability, Reliable
ity, Endurability and Action. A busi-
ness man with complete analysis of
himself and business as Fogleman
outlined cannot help but be success.

H. l. FOGLEMAN SPOKE
AT COM MERGE LUNCH

Harry L. Fogleman, the business
expert of New York and the efficiency
speaker on the chautauqua Tuesday
evening, was the honored guest at the
noon luncheon Of the board of COM
merce. Mr.. Fogleman was given a
chance to talk to the men and in a
brief period drove home enough facts
to keep his hearers thinking for many
days. Fogleman is not theoritical in
his conclusions but bases all his as
sertions on facts. His analysis of the
essentials Of business is clear, con-
else, and forceful. None can listen
to Mr.. Fogleman talk without being
permanently benefited in his or her
position in life.
Following Mr.. Fogleman's talk
Superintendent o. f. Behymer was
called upon and with dynamic force
placed the excellence of the weeks
program before his hearers. He as
serted that chautauquas were just
now coming into their own, and that
they were doing more good to the
communities visited than can be
measured in dollars and cents.
