TRADING STAMP TAX
INVALID, SAYS COURT

The McMullen revenue Act of 1916,
so far as its relation to trading stamp
companies is concerned, is unconstitu-
tional, according to a ruling of Judge
Dobler, in Criminal Court, Part 2, de-
Gliding against the imposition of an an
nual tax of $500 on trading stamp
companies, which, it was contended,
would have the effect of driving a
number of these concerns out of bust
ness.
The decision was in favor of Attor-
neys William NJ. Ballou and j. Straith
Briscoe, who were defending the ]. NJ.
Seney. Company, which had been in
dicted on the charge of failing to pay
the $500 license tax. The defendants
entered a number of pleas to the in
dictment, to which the State. through
Assistant States Attorney Lindsay c.
Spencer, demurred, and the Court,
after elaborate argument on both
sides. overruled the demurrer.
The attorneys for the defense de-
clared that the tax could not have
been designed for revenue and. there
fore. il was an undue exercise of the
police power of the State to enforce
it and thus destroy the business of the
defendant

GALA NIGHT AT
F|REMEN'S FEE
Crowds Enthusiastic And Patri-
otisn Demonstrated BY
Throng Of People
PATRONAGE is LIBERAL

whether II was to test the patriot
ism of the throng OF people who gath
cred last night at the Firemen's Fete,
or to see how few would recognize
the strains of the national anthem
when they were in the midst of fun
and frolic, THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner" was played when nobody was ex-
pecting it last night. 1t was recogniz-
ed Immediately. and although in the
midst of a popular dance, and the
floor crowded, everybody stopped dane
ing Immediately. all the wheels that
were in motion were stopped so sud-
denly that they actually clicked" and
every one on the grounds stood "Atten-
ton" during the playing of the ma
tiOnal air
II was an inspiring scene, and gave
marked evidence that no matter when
or where the American people are they
will pay due tribute to their country
and their country's flag and its nation
al hymn The love of country is up
permost in the hearts of all true
Americans.
The Firemen's Fete continues to
grow in popular favor as the days and
nights go by. Last nights crowd was
even larger than that of the previous
night, and the patronage was greater
although this hardly seemed possible.
The candy wheel, continues to rival
the dance floor in popularity. and the
money spent there suggests there are
sweet teeth throughout this communi-
ty.
The dentists in town are wearing a
broad smile for they must know there
is work for them after the carnival
days are over 1t hardly seems credi-
BILE, but the candy wheel last night
took in over two hundred dollars.
Boys and young men, who still ling
er behind from the enlisted force and
the call of the draft, because of not
being of age. are making so much
money that they spend it freely and
there is no better place to spend money
than at the Firemen's Fete.
Tonight, being Saturday, and pay
off night, promises to be a record
breaker in the way of receipts at the
Lawn Fete. Weather permitting it is
expected to open for the second weeks
festivities at the same old stand, on
Monday night, and TO continue the
fete next week Continued generous
patronage is asked and hoped for.

If you are preparing for intensive
gardening operations the soil must
be CORRESPONDENCE rich. Some vege-
tables thrive better in a less ferttIe
soil, as an over rich soil tend to a
surplus of foliage and lack of fruit
1t is good plan to have one portion
richer than another, and plant accord
ing to directions.
The head work consists of intelli-
gent planning: Careful consideration
of available space, needs of the fam
lily table and general soil conditions
will assist in wise choice. With a
seed catalogue before you, make a
general survey, but do not stop to
read the alluring descriptions of this
great delicacy and that, then start in
to make list of those which should
find place in your garden; choose
standard varieties and do not be
misled by high-sounding names, or
wonderful pictures. The best seed is
the cheapest in the long run-beware
of bargains. If a seed catalogue is
not available and you must choose
from group of seed packets, study
the directions for planting, soil con-
ditions, seasons, etc.
