BIG VEGETABLE CROP
IN STATE THIS YEAR
Results Favorable Despite the
Bad Season, Agricultural
Report Shows.
ACREAGE INCREASED
Yield of Irish Potatoes
Amount to Nearly Six
Million Bushels.

Missouri farm vegetables did sur
prisingly well in the face OF very
unfayorable season. This is shown
by Field Agent f. A. Logan and Sec
rotary Jewell Mayes of the L. 5. Blu
reau of Crop Estimates and State
Board of Agriculture in joint inves-
tigatiOn on vegetable crops.
The Missouri yield of Irish potatoes
is 1892, 600 bushels in 1916 against
9.4S3,0OO last year. Sweet potatoes

80 per cent. cabbages 80 against 90
per cent and onions II per cent in
1918 against 81 per cent in 1917.
The acreage of potatoes was in
creased over 1917 but the season was
very unfavOrable, bugs were bad. and
the aphids did great damage. The ex-
treem heat of July and August hit
the crop at a critical time in the north
portion of the state. while that of the
west side south of the river was al
so damaged
Sweet potato slips were set in the

Platform for Future.
Although the final decision as 20
the constitution falls to the legally
chosen representatives of the liberat-
ed and united people" the main prin-
ciples are outlined as follows:
The CzechO- SI1vak state shall be a
republic, based on universal suffrage,
with women on an equal footing with
men in all respects. Church shall be
separate from the state. and freedom
is guaranteed in conscience. religion
science. literature and art, speech, the
press and the right of assembly and
petition.
The standing army will be replaced
by militia.
The Government will be parliament
tary in form, and shall recognize the
principles Of initiative and referen-
dun. The rights of minOrities shall
be protected by proportional repre-
sentatiOn.
Large estates are to be redeemed
for home colonization. Patents of
nobility will he aband ned.
The new nation will assume its
share of the AustrO-Hungarian pre-
war public debt; the debts Of this
war we leave to those who incurred
them"

My Dear Folks:-Sitting under an
oak tree | hear a motor running
smoothly in the sky above me. Two
planes have just come into view.
What great things they are! Earlier
in the morning there were half doz-
en- flying in formation.
Several planes have fallen on all
sides of the camp but none o. the
occupants have been injured. These
men know different world from ours.
Now and then we see numbers of
fiat cars laden with wrecked planes
coming back from the front to be re-
paired. Many fine spirits have taken
their flight in the air service these
last four years.
French Press Appreciatiye.

to be devoted to the ecOrts of the
United States in the war. The press
is very appreciative of our activity
and is optimistic as to the outcome
of the struggle.
1t seems to me that England,
France and the United States will
know friendliness never before felt.
which can but make for a compare
lively permanent peace. if such a state
be humanity possible. And these four
years of war will not have been in
vain.
These are immortal days. How
happy | am to be living in them.

In my estimation Alsace-LOrraine |
is rightfully Frances. and they say if !
it is taken away from Germany she
can never again be the military power
she has been and is now. One can
imagine how hard she will try to hold
on to that | am heartily in favor OF
pressing the issue until an Allied
peace is made Never before has there
been such war. so one might well
expect an unusual peace.
Last evening as We walked down
the white road we saw a lone old
woman, her poor old feet in heavy
wooden frogs. hOeing in a big bean
field. In my way of thinking one has
earned exemption from such tasks
at her age. But the sky-blue cloth is
claiming for its own those to whom
the fields belong. Such a country is
many times worth defending and re-
storing to its former state"

subject to the income tax law in

officer will be at Winslow contin-

supply of income tax forms,
rendering it unnecessary for tax
payers who shall call upon him

as his stay in Winslow will be

presence there by calling upon
him on one of the dates sug-

"The Garden of Allah. {"

When Robert Hichens wrote
"The Garden of Allah" the world
proclaimed it the most beautiful
love story ever told. The great
desert Of Egypt, with its mighty
Sphinx; it's caravans; its mosques;
it's temples; its fortune tellers-
is brought before your very eyes.
When VIM. N. Selig decided to
film it, countless stars were inter-
viewed, but Mr.. Selig was de-
termined to find a woman who
could spiritually breathe from
the screen. Fresh from the
speaking stage, after fruitless
search, he succeeded in obtaining
Helen Ware, whose work in this
great picture has been proclaimed
by all critics who have seen her
to be of such sincerity that it
seems as though she were de-
picting scenes from her own life.
Thomas Ssntschi, one of the
best known screen artists in film

The Income Tax Man.
Internal Revenue Collector Carpenter
Writes the Banks.

May not, therefore, suggest,
to you the wisdom and necessity,
as protection to yourself, if not
as a patriotic service of communi-
eating by letter, telephone, or.
otherwise with so many of your
depositors as you believe to have
taxable incomes. advising them
of the date when a government
income tax officer will be there
and suggesting the advisability
of calling upon him, and instruct
the employees at the banks
windows to impart this informa-
tion to depositors?
There is a common and errone-
Gus impression that it is the gov
ernment's duty to call upon the
taxpayer. On the contrary the
taxpayer must call upon the gov
ernment. If he fails to report.
his income when due he thereby
subjects himself to penalties
ranging from $40 to $1,000 fine,
or Imprisonment. III
