REVENUE BILL
PREPARATIONS
BEING STARTED
Simmons and Kitchin, As
suming Bill Must Come,
o. Wheels.

Conceding that there would he rev.
enus legislation at the present session
of Congress, Senator Simmons and
Majority Leader Kitchin began yes
terday to tinker with the machinery
and squirt oil into It.
In a few days the ponderous old
wheels will creak and groan, and the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House will be fighting inside of it.
self over various mooted questions
touching on the revenue bill demand
ed by Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo.
For Mr.. Kitchin insists that If
there's got to be a bill. 1t must be
the Ways and Means Committee that
will frame it. He will hear of naught
else.
Must Come from House.
Amy such ideas as concurrent sit
tings of the Senate and House COM
mittees have no place in Mr.. Kitchin's
which states that financial LEGISLATION
NilC NIOuSC
The House is very Jealous Of this
prerogative, and guards it as II were
the jeweled eye of some Buddha In
when the revenue bill was being
worked, the House Committee object
ed strenuously to too much activity
on the part of the Senate Finance
Committee.
1t is said that Mr.. McAdoo will
give suggestions as TO the character
of the bill, its proportion of taxes and
bonds, and the nature of the articles
against which taxes will be levied.
Again, however, 1t is said that the
House Committee wants to make this
determination for itself.
Saturday night Senator Simmons
had "a scintilla of hope" that the bill
might still be postponed until the
autumn, but yesterday he appeared
to have hauled down even that small
kite. For he said:
well, 'scintilla' is about all can
say. I did not want to abandon hope
absolutely. but 1 don't suppose now
there's much doubt about a BILL
The Senator has made no arrange
ments yet for a meeting Of his COM
mittee. Even though the House Com
mittee should start with the legis-
lation, the Senate Committee would
probably sound out its own members,
and receive suggestions. ~
Incomes and Profits Aimed At.
There is a growing idea that ex-
cess profits and incomes will be fred
at still further in the coming bill.
So persistent was this impression in
the House that Saturday. Hustled of
New York, put in an amendment
that would exempt all army and
navy officers and enlisted men from
new taxation. --'ss
Senator Simmons still intends to
write to the President outlining the
situation, and thus affording Mr..
Wilson chance to tell Congress
why the administration desires a
tax bill at this time. The. Senator
said last evening he had made NO
plans yet for work on the bin.

Unlimited Army"
Authorized Might Be
16,500, 600 in u. S.

The passage by Congress Of
an act authorizing President
Wilson TO raise AN unlimited
army" will naturally suggest
to every American the ques-
ton:
Just how big will IAN un-
limited American army" be?
For Of course there must be
a limit-even - an unlimited
army.
The best method Of approx
mating its size is by compari-
son with Germany. which has
stretched its man power to the
ultimate to raise an "unlimit-
ed" army. Comparison of the
total population with the size
OF the army raised by Ger
many gives these figures:

CROP OF FORESTERS FAILS
Number Of Trained Woodsmen made
quate for Supplying Of Current
Demands.

East Lansing, Mich.-For the man
who is lured by the breath of the pine
woods, and for all those who love the
great out-of-doors. the present is a sea-
son of opportunity, declares Prof. A.
h. Chittenden, head of the department
of forestry at NJ. A. c. Owners OF
country estates, cities i'm quest of tree
surgeons. and federal and state govern
ments are all of them in the market for
men trained in forestry, but In the
opinion of the professor they are des-
tined to remain empty handed unless
young America comes TO the rescue.
Even before the war came upon
u.s. says Professor Chittenden, "the
calls for fOresters with college train
ing much outnumbered the men quail
flied to fill the positions offered. This
state of affairs has come about as the
result of the increasing employment
of foresters by cities throughout the
country, and to the use of them in
large numbers In other capacities.
Unless more boys enroll in the COL
leges for training as foresters, this
dearth Of able men is likely to become
chronic. The boy who doesn't know
what to do with himself ought TO inves-
tigate this profession

BIG CROP PEDIGREED GRAIN
Large Averages Of Red Rock Wheat
and Rosen Rye Are har-
vested.

East Lansing, Mich.-Reports filed
with the Michigan agricultural college
by growers in various parts of Michi-
gan indicate that enough pedigreed
wheat and rye was harvested within
the state this season to sow at least
half of Michigan's wheat and rye acre
ages to these improved crops next fall.
Enough inspected and certified Red
Rock wheat was harvested. according
to the statement of secretary of the
Michigan Crop Improvement associa-
ton, to SOW 10000 acres this coming
fall TO this superior grain. and enough
of Red Rock wheat of all grades to
SOW 100000 acres.
OF Rosen rye sufficient quantity of
the inspected and certified grain has
been harvested to sow 10000 acres.
Both Red Rock wheat and Rosen rye,
which are special strains of high yield
ing grains produced originally by the
experiment station of the college, have
won such n reputation for themselves
that Michigan growers were called up
on last season to supply seed to farm
ers in 20 other states.

"Stripe" Hits Barley.

A disease known rs the barley leaf
stripe" is reported by the department
of plant pathology of NJ. A. G. TO have
been the cause of appreciate loss this
season To MichiganS barley growers.
The disease produces stunted plants
with blasted heads, and the leaves
are striped so that they look like
ribbon grass. According to the college
Psychologists. the most effective way to
get rid of the trouble Is to secure seed
that is clean and to avoid putting In
another crop of barley on the field from
which the diseased crop was removed.
Inasmuch as growers very rarely fol.
low barley with barley, the securing Of
clean seed from neighbors whose fields
were free from the disease is consid.
cred to be the most important precau
tionary measure.

BEEKEEPERS TO SAVE HONEY
Allowance of Sugar for Feeding Col.
onies May Be Curtailed.

East Lansing, Mich.-If Michigan
beekeepers would play safe during the
coming winter, they must keep suf-
ficient supply of honey in stock this
fall to feed their colonies through the
cold weather months. in the opinion of
Il. Il. Kindig, state inspector of
apiaries. There is grave danger, ac-
corling to the NJ. A. & man, that the
allowance Of sugar may be so curtaled
by the food administration that sup
plies available for the maintenance of
the bee population will be insufficient
1--WE have received no official mott
tication as yet that we would be re-
fused sugar for feeding bees declared
Mr.. Kindig. "but cautious tekeepers
will not wait for the announcement--it
may come too late to enable them to
save their colonies.
at would be well for every man who
desires 10 protect his bees to keep
enough honey this season to feed them
during the winter. If necessary. The
man who neglects this precaution may
find himself with starving colonies or
his hands before another spring"

ADDED BEAUTY TO GARDENS
Improved on the Glory of the
Lilac Blossom.

One of Frances war gardeners of
1901 won Immortality by studying
his plants, instead of tending his gar
den merely as IA way to help out with
the food supply. Like most war gar
deners, he did not give his attention
exclusively to vegetables but planted a
few flowers, and it was with these that
he had conspicuous success.
In 1871 Victor Lemoine began his
experiments in cross-fertillzing differ
ent species of lilac. He took up this
work to get his mind away from the
troubles of his country, for IL German
garrison was CHARTERED in his native
town, Nancy, and the rest of France,
except the doomed provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine, was slowly buying back its
freedom from the same hated pres
ence. LemOine's sight at that time was
very bad, so he planned and had his
wife execute.
That was the origin of the wondrous
group of shrubs known today through
out the civilized world as French
lilacs,' with their great trusses of
beautcous bloom. II is Lemoine's best
known work, though not his only one.
He recreated the mock orange, the
deutzia, the weigelia, the delphinium
and II score of other perennials and
shrubs.

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-

change of diet-will make US all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is so
easy to become overheated on
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble. =
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-

this if you will just take a tablet or

HAD SEEN THEM AT WORK"
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His
Brains Over Question Propounded
by Teacher.

Here is little story that was told
at social session by Representative
Hubert d. Stephens of Mississippi, as
an illustration that the best industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work:
Some time since, the teacher of
public school in q country town was
instructing a juvenile class in mathe-
matics when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.
Tommy" said she, IF your father
can do piece of work in six days and
your uncle Jim can do it in'seven days,
how long would it take them to do it
together?"
about ten thousand years." was the
rather startling rejoinder Of Tommy.
'Ten thousand years" exclaimed
the teacher. "Why, Tommy, what do
you mean?"
81 mean," was the prompt response
of Tommy, "that if you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence, smoke and swap fish stories" ~

Which Judqe Is Riqht?

An Eastern judge the other day
found a man guilty Of disorderly con-
duct for kissing his wife when she
didn't want him to kiss her.
ut is womans inalienable right
to refuse to be kissed If she doesn't
want to be KISSED" this judge said,
adding, land she doesn't forfeit this
right when she marries the man."
But, on the other hand, Judge Gra-
ham of San Francisco officially rules
that a husband may kiss his wife
whenever he pleases, whether it
pleases the wife or not.
Indeed, so firm are the judges con-
victions upon the subject that he was
moved to put his decision in verse:
Be a cave man, seize your mate
If she shows you signs of hate;
Let her scratch. let her bite,
