HOW DRY | AM
A short time ago a Fairbanks man while sitting whistling, No hOdv knOws how dry

' am," suddenly thought of some sweet blueberry juice which he had been keeping down in his cool eel lar.- 'Tis said that necessity is the mother of invention," and of sud den it occurred to him that the afore- said harmless blueberry juice, if given an opportunity to ferment would acquire a good kick" So he filled goodly quart beer bottle full of the blue juice and set it out on his wood pile, in the not sun.
 Carefully he tended it, day after day, for it began showing signs. !" And he left it out exposed to the sun until it had a strong kick" then in joyful anticipation he went out to said wood pile. and when he got there-alas! and alack! It had kick ed itself upside down and while standing on it's head the "precious" contents had trickled away down amongst the wood until there wasn't any signs of a "kick" left!

TEXAS RANGER WEBS
 MISS MARIE ROSE
Beach Filtration and Short Court
 ship Ends Happily

4 pretty war romance eliminated today with the marriage of Private Walter King of the United States army and Miss Marie Rose at pres ent of 25O North street. The wedding took place at St. Mary's rectory this morning, Rev. John J. Barry otficiat- ing. The young couple were attended by Frank Maictta and Mrs. Philome- na Pettinato.
 The romance so happily concluded today began about two months ago. While Miss Rose was visiting at Asbury Park, N. J., she had f1irta- ton with Private King who was then attached to one of the pioneer regi- ments stationed at Camp Mills. He was waiting for overseas service. The regiment however went on and he was left with another regiment While he waited he met Miss Rose as often as he could get away from camp AcQuaintanceship ripened into love and marriage was the next step.
 Private King is a native Texan, hav- ing been born at Bayinghandle, Tex, 21 years ago. He was brought up on his fathers ranch, which was so eXten- sive that when standing at one border line it was impossible to see the fur thermost boundary despite the unob- structed view to the horizon. As a boy Private King rode the ranges on his mustang. He tended cattle and participated in the roundup. Every day he rode about 80 miles to fschooI. He loved the free, wild life of the plains and at the age of 16 years hG enlisted in the celebrated Texas Rangers. In the four years spent gH ranger he had varied experienceS. Just as soon as the war with Germany was declared Private King enlisted in the regular army.
 Following the wedding this morning Private King and his bride were ten dered a reception at the home of MT. and Mrs PettinatO.
 Private King will return to Camp Mills at the conclusion of his fur1ouxh and his wife will probably remain here, although she is thinking serious ly of settling near the camp so as to be near her husband until he goes overseas.

M 'ADOO INSISTS ON
 HIGH PROFITS TAX
Recommends 80 Per Cent. Assess
 ment to EQualiZe Burden

Washington, Aug. 15.-An insistent demand for a high tax on all war profits as the basic principle of the new S8,000, 100000 war revenue bill was made by Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo in a four-hour confer ence yesterday with the House Ways and Means Committee. The secretary advocated a tax of so per cent. flat on war profits and the retention of the existing graduated tax on excess prof it's, with notifications to make it equitable.
 Under the scheme outlined by MT. McAdOO and urged as imperative to yield $8,00O 100000 revenue for 1919, all corporations profiting through war industry would be subject to an alter native tax. Under the existing law, MT. McAdoo pointed out, many pow erful corporations escape their pro- portionate share of the taxation while weaker concerns are ovcrtaxed. He wanted the schedule readjusted so that the richer corporations would bear the brunt of the tax.
 Secretary McAdoo also discussed the contemplated income tax urging not alone that the present tax on nor nal incomes be retained, but also t1ldI tIlelc D0 ct 0COo oIr'l1lAcAl l1ICl cetoc and that high rate be applied to all unearned incomes. He also favored an appreciable tax on luxuries.
 Mr. McAdoo's suggestions hit squarely upon points of difference that have arisen between the Ways and Means committee and the treas ury as to the working out of the tax features of the new bill. As a result of the SecretaryS appearance, it was stated that the committee probably would embrace his ideas.
 Afer the conference MT. McAdoo, spea king to newspaper men, re- marked, with a smile, as he patted MT. Kichin on the back:
 You see, we are not at swords points. I think whatever differences there were will be easily adjusted"

Steel and Pig
 Iron Markets
The Iron Age says today:

The fact that makers of agricul tural machinery have secured reduc- tion of $5 ton on steel bar ship ments in the second half of the year is widely commented on in the steel trade. A concession to this interest on its bar purchases has been no un- common thing for years. Government price hXlnn promised to be the end of lsA But there was pressure at Wash lngton to prevent any advance in i'm plements to the farmer. The inpie- ment manufacturers finally agreed to make no advance if the government would get them a S5 reduction on bars. The steel men were appealed to and the reduction was granted.
 It remains to be seen how far com plications in other bdr-consunling trades will result from 2.65c bars for agricultural purposes But no other industry heretofore has been able to secure the preference given to inn plement makers and the odds are even greater now with the government thrown into the agricultural scale.
 High heat and humidity cut down pig iron and steel outputs last week, estimates for the Pittsburgh district running from 10 to 1 , per cent. while losses at some eastern Pennsylvania plants were considerably higher.
 A factor to be counted on as the American army in France grows is the spirit of the steel workers, par ticularly in mills supplying the chief essentials as plates shell steel and e-;~ of the same effort to get output that has been seen at shipyards, but they might be more general.
 The estimated July production of steel ingots, based on the compila- tions of the American Iron and Steel Institute, is 3,531, 500 gross tons. The daily rate fell off about 2.9 per cent from that of June. and while the es- timated annual production rate on the July figures Counting 26 days) is only 41,9S4, 900 tons, the rate on the actual output of the last five months, or since the winter and rail- road handicaps of January and Feb uary, is 42,496,00 tons.
 A meeting of the special commit tee of steel manufacturers with the director of steel supply will be held at Washington next week. The de- cisions to be made, having to do with the recent more pressing demands from abroad, are regarded as among the most important in the present eff fort of the war industries board to meet the situation
 The action of the war industries board in denying steel for passenger automobiles is in line with what has been plainly indicated for months as to the narrowing of the channels of steel uses. Somes mills, as in sheet and wire lines, are tending to a, steady 60 per cent operation.
 In the attempt to increase pig iron and steel output, the new by-product coking capacity is strongly counted on. Of the proposal for government aided new construction in iron and steel, the main tangible development is in connection with new steel ca pa city in the Birmingham district.

 himself to all the little details of life, the cleaning of his quarters, the dig ginlg of trenches, the carrying of his food. Broken trenches must be mend ed. fresh trenches dug, and dugouts built. All these odd jobs, which the soldier is called upon to do in what would otherwise be his spare time, he
 sums up under the comprehensive heading of fatigue.
 Fatigue duty, as the name implies. is not often a light or restful form of occupation. It may involve a long march with a nights work at the end of it.
 The first men to be picked for q fatigue party are the defaulters, men guilty of minor deIinQUencies such as the possession Of Q rusty rife or an unshaven chin at the morning parade. It follows that the term fatigue" has fallen somewhat into disrepute, for it has come to be asso ociated, at least in the civilian mnd, with an ideal of punishment. In consequence, an at tempt has been made to differentiate between extra work which is definite ly allotted as a form of punishment, and extra work which is included in the duties of every soldier, be his character never so stainless. For this purpose a new phrase has been in troduccd. This new phrase is work irg party. Men are elected for work ing parties in turn. so that everyone contributes a share.
 So far as possible, working parties are employed on essentially military operations, such as the putting up of wire entan9lements, the digging of trenches, the carrying of ratiOns and stores, whereas a fatigue party is likely to be employed on more menial forms of occupation.
 But it is difficult to change old names, and though the distinction be- tween a fatigue party and a working party is carefully observed in official orders, the British soldier himself is still inclined to apply the old name fatigue" indiscriminateIy to all forms of extra work.
 In tho main, it is the unfortunate infantryman who is called upon to supply working parties. The engineers, for example depend to a, great extent on infantry labor for the carrying out of their various operations.
