The patriotic service the farmers are doing

do next year on a much larger scale will add
millions, if not billions of dollars to the wealth
Of the country. Mobilization Of the farm re-

but it has succeeded admirably well for 1917,

the production Of vastly increased yields of all

1t was not until the last hour OF

grain went into eclipse on account OF
the breaks in Wall street quotations.
Previously the corn market had been
showing a decided upward tendency
owing in the main to reports Of frost

commission houses absorbed all corn
offerings during h bulge. A major

Crumbling Of quoted values was the
more disturbing from the fact that the

comprised many high grade railroad

THREE VOTES
CAST in WAR

Committee Leaders Believe
Bill Will Become Law
in Present Form.
HOLLIS & KENYON
LEAD DISCUSSION
Fight to Substitute Flat
Rate for Graduated Sys-
tenn Almost Ended

Washington, Sept. An rapid sue
cession today the senate bowled over
by overwhelming majorities three
more proposals from the group of
senators seeking to increase the levies
on war profits in the tax bill.
An amendment by Senator Hollis
to tax war profits only at higher rates
but to strike out the finance commit
tees new CLAUSE levying $428,000,000
additional IN ordinary excess profits
was rejected, 81 to -. Then without
debate, one by Senator La Toilette to
fix q flat rate Of so per cent, designed
to raise not less than 81, 800, 000, 900 on
war profits was beaten, SO to Is. The
minimum flat rate proposal Of 80 per
cent on the high tax group preserved
by Senator Hollis was voted down, 81
to Is.
Fiat Rate Fight Ends.
With these setbacks, the fight TO
substitute a flat rate for the gradual
ed system of the excess war profits
section virtually ended and the con-
test entered a new stage. Before the
f'nalv vote on the war profits section,
set by unanimous agreement for late
tomorrow, the high tax faction plans
an effort to raise the graduated rates
now in the bill.
Finance committee leaders are con-
fident that the bill when passed WIN
stand substantially as now written
providing for a levy of about one
third on wa profits, or an increase of
$1.0t0, 000, 900 over the present reve-
ME Of 1925, 200, 900.
Kenyon Scores Senate.
Senators Hollis and Kenyon today
led the discussion for the high tax
es, with Senator Smoot leading the
defense of the finance committees
draft. A bill totalling $4,000, 00O, 900
wa urged by Senator Hollis, who in
sisted there should be a flat levy OF
at least 80 per cen on war profits.
In bitter terms, Senator Kenyon
the increase proposed. He spoke of
Unreasonable profits" and said mac
equate conscrfption of wealth. and i'm
position of irritating consumption tax
es on the masses of the people would
DO responsible for unpopularity of the
bill.
Three Votes Cast Yesterday.
Senator Smoot attacked the Hollis
plan to exempt normal but extremely
large excess profits from taxation, as
sorting many millions of ordinary
corporate earnings would escape tax
alton by the proposal.
In the three votes today the high
tax faction both gained and lost sup
porters. Their highest record Of 20
Volos was mace yesterday on the ~
per cent war tax proposal of Senator
La Toilette. Division of sentiment in
their W ranks regarding the smaller
flat rates and excess profits taxation
today caused slight losses. Senators
Chamberlain. Kendrick, Myers and
Phelan voted to tax war profits alone
at higher rates and exempt ordinary
excess profits. Senator Kendrick sup
ported the final minimum so per cent
proposal of Senator Hollis. On the
latter Senator'S Borah and Trammell
voted with the majority because the
bill contained a so per cent maximum
provision.
Tomorrow Senators Hollis, Kenyon.
Johnson Of California and others will
propose various increases in the bills
graduated rates.

One Of the most vexatious problems
confronting fathers and mothers OF

That problem begins when the boy
is big enough to move around, asso-

the threshold of manhood, the prob
lem becomes serious and often alarm

The father is generally too busy
making the family living to give his
boy the companionship he needs. And
at that 6 of boyhood there is little
a mother can do.
With obligatory universal military
service-a big democratic army which
