up to the standards of the game al
home but 1t is baseball nevertheless
The paraphernalia is not always up
to-date and the diamond nay be
lacking in the perfect finish found
on the better fields Of the big cities
but these are mere details when the
soldiers make up their minds to play
baseball. This can be seen from q
description of a contest staged not
so long 6 in France.
'"'Tthe ball was a fearful and won
derful thing, absolutely guiltless of
any infringement Of the American
patents. A round stone, picked up
on the beach, formed its core. Around
this ~unyielding missile were wrapped
some rags and over this, tire tape.
Surrounding all was a piece Of can
vas, roughly stitched. It was the
hardest and the "deadest" ball ever
have hit I'VE 100 feet with a tele-
graph pole, and it took a good lick
to drive it even as far as the pitcher.
Still it was ball.
1.-THE heroes who volunteered to
act as catchers in this strange con
test refused to face the camouflaged
boulder without some protection as
they made themselves a glove. A
couple Of old flannel shirts served
as the foundation for this protector.
An old shoe provided leather TOR the
face of the glove and this was sewn
on by the same genius who put the
canvas cover on the ball. The con-
,trivance had no fingers but vas held
in place on the hand with Irvine.
"The infielders and outfielders
used their bare hands and the first
baseman, who had to handle swift
throws without protection, had badly
bruised hands at the close Of the
game.
For bats these ingenious soldiers
cut down some saplings and hewed
them into the desired lengths, shap-
ing the handles with jackknives. Ev-
cry time the BALI was hit with one
of these green sticks, the wood flew
in showers all over the infield. and
the sap deluged the fielders. There
was one ex-leaguer in the queer
game, a player who used to be so
f~astidious about his bats that he had
to have them made to order. His adj
mirers in the bleachers would have
had some trouble in recognizing him
as the young man who picked up the
first sapling that came handy and
threw out his chest when he suo-
ceeded in hitting the ball all the way
to the shortstop."

WHEN TO CUT WALNUT.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-warning
as to the proper time to GU walnut
trees is sounded in a letter to the
American Forestry association from
DR.. Robert T. Morris. an authority of
and President Wilson has called upon
the Boy Scouts to mark the trees,
from September to April is the
time to cut these trees" says DR..
Morris in his letter to the association.
III the trees are cut at other times
the roots will die. This is very i'm
portant because of our future timber
supply. The nut growers are at the
New York city. The black walnut IL
destined to play a big part in the wal

TAXATION BILL
TOUCHES EVERY
TAXABLES0URC
Bulk of Burden Will be Plac-
ed Where it Belongs as
. Near as Possible.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE new war
tax bill. by which is to be raised one
third of the $24.0 600, 600, 900 needed
to nance Americas share of tho
world war during the coming fiscal
year, is the greatest piece of legisla-
Of the United States. 1t
touches probably every taxable source
and is, intended to place the bulk OF
the burden where it belongs and make
every citizen share the cost Of the
fight for democracy.
Far reaching and inclusive, yet the
tax burden is said to be not as heavy
as that upon the people of England.
It is also claimed it will not work the
hardship nor demand the s~elf-sacriice
which has fallen to the lot Of either
the English or the French.
The American people may appre-
ciate it more fully n they may I'M
derstand more clearly the part they
are taking financially by giving pass
ing notice at least. to the ways in
which the Allied countries of Europe
and particularly England, have raised
their war revenue.
The tax laws of England have ever
been more severe than those of the
United States. 1t is only natural then.
that England's war taxation should be
proportionately heavy. 1t must also be
remembered that England, being so
near h fighting zone Ind surround
ed by waters infested by enemy sub
marines has had her m
barassed and her rich import duties,
once the heaviest in the world. some-
what reduced. In addition to that the
demand for man power for the army
has taken from factories the labor.
Home industry has been paralyzed.
England has, therefore, been COM

on a system of internal taxation levied
upon incomes, excess profits n lux
uries. The same is true of France and
the other Allied countries.
English income and profits taxation
has been classified under five sched-
ules as follows: (a) Landlords Prop
erty tax. (b) Farmers tax, (c) tax on
holders of government securities, Cd
tax on business profits, professional
incomes and on sources of income not
included under any other schedule.
(e) tax on salaries Of public officials
and employees.
The properties, profits and gains on
which income tax is payable n
which fall under these schedules are
subject to an assessment On every
pound sterling of their value.
Under the first schedule, every per-
son deriving an income from proper

by the person occupying the property
in question.
The second schedule, or Farmers
tax, is almost identical with the first
except that the taxable value of the
land is fixed by law instead of the tax
being levied against the actual income
derived from this land.
All incomes, whether in the forms
of interest, annuities, dividends, or
shares Of annuities arising out of any
public revenue are subject to taxa
ton under the third schedule. The
tax is assessed at it's source, before the
taxable income reaches the taxpayer,

The tax on business profits, profess
sional incomes and on incomes not in
cluded under the regular schedules. is
so far reaching that it touches pract-
ically every source except h incomes
of charitable trusts and organizations
and certain trade unions. The tax rate
is varying according to circumstances.
The rate is applied to all incomes
exceeding 100 pounds a year, with
proportionately as the incomes in
crease. The abatement is more gen.
erous me the rate lower upon earned
incomes than upon those which are
unearned.
The incomes of men in the army,

to taxation, but in these cases reduced
rates are made.
Under the fifth schedule fall the In

as we'll as Of all ecclesiastical bodies.
The income taxable under his sched-
ule is not merely that received in pay
ment of current services. but also all
annuities, pensions. stipends and even
Easter offerings made to ~clergymen
by their congregations.
The English system of luxury duties
is just as inclusive as that of the
United States and in many respects
the two measures. English and Amer
lean. are almost identical. In fact the
English law was taken as the model,
in some respects for the new AEleri-
can tax bill. English law, as far MS
incomes are concerned, is only q
growth and modification of Il series
of income tax measures which had
their origin in the British parliament
as far back as 1912.
Like the United States, England has
made it a rule to raise about me
third of the amount she needed for
val purposes through internal taxa
ton. For the remainder she has had
recourse to loans and credits of which

A Paper Read by Mrs. Blatchford
at Aid Society after the death of
President:
A good woman has gone. l feel
that too much good cannot be said
about our dear sister, Mrs. Lovett.
She was not only our sister, our
friend, but our guide, one who had the
welfare of our souls continually on
her heart.
Sadness and gloom enshrouds our
circle today. 1t is but natural that
the Church mourn her loss, but our
sister has been transferred from the
church militant to the church triumph
ant. For months past it was feared
that in a brief time the spirit of
sister Lovett would be waited to the
God who gave it and the end was not
unexpected. Monday, evening, July
18th, 1918, her spirit took its flight.
All that medical skill and careful
nursing could do failed to restore her
to health, months of suffering and
physical prostration this patient
faithful disciple of Christ ceased to
abide in body of flesh, for He who
had redeemed her by his blood called
her up to a place around the throne of
God BY her loving disposition and
many acts of kindness she had en-
deared herself to the people of Bel
ington and to a host of friends and
sjccouaintances elsewhere who sin
cerely mourn her death. Her re-
ligious life was one of constant de-
velopment, truly a life worthy of
emulation.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Adopted by the Ladies Aid Society
of the M. E. Church. Whereas, 1t
hath pleased the Divine Ruler of the
Universe to remove from our midst
a noble woman, our beloved sister
and president, Della A. Lovett.
Be it resolved that while we bow
in humble submission to the will of
the most High we do not the less
mourn for our sister who has been
taken from us, whose memory we
shall ever, revere. Be it further re-
solved that through her death, we as
members of this society, workers for
God, do more to advance his King
dom and may the greatHead of the
Church give us a double portion of
the spirit necessary to do better work.
Resolved that a copy of these reso-
lutions be entered on the minutes of
