II. Y. G.. {. NOTES.

Due to the show being moved into
the open, with the exception of every
Wednesday night, when it is Occu-
pied by the Dillon Stock Co. the
is now open for the use
Of all club members during the sum-
mer months. Many of our mem
bers have already taken advantage
of this fact, and it is joy to see
them in action again.
On last Saturday night four OF the
members stood at a window and
went through some movements that
would remind a person of someone
grabbing gold dollars out of thin
air. Let us hope they accomplished
their end.
Our Club has been entered in the
Junior Indoor Baseball League, and
we should back Coach Bowling to
the full extent of our ability. He is
looking for all available material
and anyone member who knows any
thing about indoor baseball should
consider it his duty to offer his SER
vices. 1t is our desire to make an
even better showing than last year;
so boys. get busy, show your club
spirit and come out and we will en-
deavor to show the city clubs that
they will have the II. y. G. c. TO
reckon with before they take the
pennant. Coach DOwling's nights
are Monday and Thursday and all
candidates are at least expected TO
be present upon these nights.

!. Restoration OF Palestine.

Palestine is essentially an agricul.
tural country. as it has absolutely no
other resources, and in past times sup
ported a large population. But it
should be understood that to restore it
to it's former prosperity would require
considerable capital and a radical re-
form OF government. Though the
lsraelites came out of the very prodIc.
tive land of Egypt, their destination
was described as a land flowing with
milk and honey. This statement is
most interesting in the light Of facts
concerning the production Of honey
here. 1t is well known to botanists
that Palestine is the meeting place Of
flora of three different continents, and
this circumstance combined with the
varied attitudes produces a condition
most favorable to bee culture.-Scien-
tific American.

REOCROssC CONTRIBUTIONS j. {. IS LOSER BY FRAUD
MUNITIONS MAKERS HOLD OUT
$4,000, 600 IN TAXES.
Fake Returns Made by War contrao
tors Discovered by Treas
ury Department.

Washington.--A 81, 900, 900 NUM-.
lions tax fraud has been uncovered by
the treasury department.
Attempts Of war contractors to
eyade payment of the 12ll2 per cent
tax on their profits have been re,
vealed by Investigation Of the internal
revenue bureau, which has been in
progress for some months.
The bureau announced that so, 000,-
600 of the fraudulently withheld tax
already has been recovered through
pursuit of a compromise policy and
that the government is determined to
recover every cent of the remaining
unpaid taxes.
The scheme resorted to by the NIL
milton makers depended principally on
improper returns Of taxable property
and income. 1t is alleged by the bu'
rean that the big wal contract plants
charged off to depreciation vast sums
which should have been returned for
the calculation of tax.
1t is stated that in some cases the
entire costs Of huge plants, especially
erected to turn out munitions, were
charged off in this amer.
This practice was defended on the
ground that the plants would be use
less for any other purpose, but the
government takes the position tina,
such a method of evading payment is
fraudulent.
