Training Sea-L;ons.

The nature of the sea-lion is peculiar. He has to be petted and encouraged at every stage of lesson. The trainer knows that the animal is very jealous of others who get too much of the lime light; luarrels among a troupe ire quently follow. If a sea-lion is not in his proper position the act will not work. Bul most important of all, it IS necessary to keep repeating a trick until a sea dog performs it readily. How '1ng this sometimes ta]ses only the young men who do this work can tell.

Blind Broom Makers

A visit to the Broom Department of

Is its own reward. Too much cannot

not fail to find inspiration in this
place, located on the fourth floor of
the building, a sunny, well ventilated
place. Truly, those who enter here,
blind, dependent and Respondent, in a
comparatively short time. emerge self
supporting, cheerful and with a new
interest in life. OF course, it is WORK,
patient, continuous, earnest effort,
that brings about this magic change.
AS early as seven in the morning,
the men are in their places; they work
until Ave p. NJ, with one hour for
lunch and rest. Thirty-fve are on
the pay roll, including those in charge.
Twenty-six of these are piece work
ers. One passes down aisles of busy
men, no slaekers here, sizing, sorting,
wrapping, sewing, each man intent
on his own work, brooms "to the right

that the anger the taxes, the more

there will be to the nations business

fact that many citizens hesitate to

fear that If they do they will have
trouble in meeting their federal taxes

BUSINESS METHODS FOR
CONGRESS.

In it's last session. making appropri-
atoms for the present fiscal year, Con-
gress guessed wrong to the extent of
5000, 900 900. or about 40 per cent.
And no wonder, considering the
chaotic methods used. Representative
Medill Mccormick, of Illinois. ar
raigning the existing appropriation
machinery. points out that there are
ten administrative departments each
of which prepares its annual esti-
mates of expenditure without any re-
gard to the estimates OF the other de-
partments, without regard to any we'll
ordered system of finance, and in to-
tai disregard to the government
income.
These ten conflicting estimates are
delivered over to 90 different commit
tees consisting of 300 men in the two
Houses OF Congress, each committee
considering its assigned work and
submitting it's reports without know
ing what any other committee is do
ing And then Congress as a whole,
receiving the reports i'm bulk, with lit
tie knowledge or understanding of the
items, accepts or rejects them blindly.
Mr. Mccormick advocates a budget
plan by which the Secretary of the
Treasury would be budget-maker-in-
chief. co-ordinating the estimates of
the ten executive departments. Con-
gress would thus be given one consol-
idated estimate of the governments
total expenses, reviewed and APPROX
ed by the President, and could take up
its appropriation work intelligently.
AS part of the plan, there would be
a single budget committee in each
chamber instead Of the many COM
mittees that now divide the work, and
a permanent auditor-general ready to
apply his expert skill to the untang-
ling of any difficult problem.
This plan would substitute scientific
business methods for ignorant guess
ing. IL would save Congress much
time and save the country hundreds
of millions of dollars. II would help
to put Congress itself where it ought
to have been put long ago-on a war
basis 1t has long been recognized
as desirable. Why not adopt it?

BLOOD AND IRON.

1t is an inspiring message that
Georges Clemenceau. premier of
France. gives to his country and her
allies at moment when every ele-
ment of French strength is being test
ed as never before:
Internal policy? l go on with the
war
External policy? l so on with the
war
Russia betrays us? l so on with
the war
Unhappy Roumania is obliged to
surrender? | will go on with the war
to the last quarter of an hour, for the
last quarter of an hour must belong
to us"
They call Clemenceau "the tiger of
France" He is a tiger for fight. UNI
questionably. But he is more than
that. In him is the staunch blood
and iron" of a Bismarck. added to a
fire that the Iron chancellor" never
had, and a moral force unknown to
Prussianism.
The premier's words carry convic-
ton because they are not his own
merely-they represent the spirit of
the French nation.
They represent the British nation,
too And they represent America.
The gospel of blood and iron preach
ed by German statesmen with such
potent effect on their own people is
having its natural and inevitable eff
feet 1t has won converts by hundreds
of millions in the countries that Ger

steel closes in upon her.

BILLIONS IN TAXES.

Nobody knew how rich our country
was, or how much money our people
had been making. The government
estimated that the income and excess
profits taxes would yield a revenue of
1880. 000.O 900 on the business of the
last calendar year. Estimates from
taxpayers reports now indicate that
the amount will be no less than SS,-
500,O00.000 and may rise as high as
$4,000, 0O0.O
This promising outlook is inclining

ably toward a request made almost
unanimously by the country's business
and financial interests. for permission
to pay these taxes in installments in

THREE MILLION ACRES FOR 1919

"Missouri's duty to the war and the
government suggests the need of still
larger planting of winter wheat the
coming fall" is the May-time state
mept of Secretary Jewell Mayes of the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture.
missouri farmers in the autumn Of
1917 seeded million acres more of
wheat than they had harvested in that
year. The present acreage, deduct
ing for abandoned area, is 2,846, 900
acres, condition of which was 95 per
cent of normal for May, indicating a
yield of 45,693,000 bushels. My con-
viction is that patriotic Missouri will
plant not less than three million war
acres of wheat for the 1919 harvest.
Missouri has not (of late years.
been finding itself as to rye, now so
profitable as a grain crop, besides be-
ing the best cover crop to protect land
from washing during fall. winter and
spring rains, also splendid for emer-
gency grazing and green manuring.
Missouri has $4,000 acres of growing
rye, showing 100000 bushels of grain.
10000 is the very lowest bottom fig
ure for 1918 planting.
Barley has been novelty (almost
curiosity on Missouri farms-but
those who harvested barley last year
sowed again with increased acreage,
and the indications are that barley
