sammie was very glad to see Uncle
Wiggily. The bunny rabbit gentle
man twinkIed his pink nose like

DenUer PaUes The Way
For Cities to Dodge Take,

Denver Colo, Aug. 5.-The treasury
department having ruled that mu-
nicipality cannot be taxed by the gov
eminent, Denver has paved the way
for other cities TO dodge taxes on mo-
tor driven vehicles.
Recently Denver bought a motor
sprinkler with a $3.50 government tax
attached to the price. this being the
tax paid by the manufacturer TO the
government for the vehicle and
charged by him to the selling agent,
the selling agent passing the compli-
ment along to the city.
The city auditor put the question
up to the city attorney. who. in turn,
communicated with the treasury de-
partment and received the ruling.
which means that the manufacturer
must pay the tax and cannot collect
Il through the selling agent from the
municipality.

Of tossing their hats in the ring"
the L S. marines now toss en- in the

fully out into space and was soon
bobbling merrily on the dancing
waves.
Taking the accident as a cue -just

out into the deep, and the bay was
soon dotted with hundreds Of straw
hats
The boys passed the word'' and
now no recruit can expect to have
good luck unless he has cast his hat
upon the receding tide.

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should DO
done before the spring rush In pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed.
Wheat. oats. barley, and fax can be
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill ut least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma.
chlnery more evenly aud thus Insure
more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tolned from unclaimed grain.
Cleaning grain removes most Of the
weak and diseased Kernels. many Of
which may not grow at all. or II they
do grow are likely to produce small.
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels terminate more evenly. pro.
duce stronger plants. and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrunken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes a
large part OF the weed seeds the grain
contains. The preparation Of the lnnd
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are In the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds 10 check. but the value
OF this work Is largely lost II foul seed
