KEEP ON PRODUCING

The gratitude that We as Americans should feel over the victory that has just been won for the liberty of the world should be great. Since 1776 America has stood for Liberty and Freedom but not without great sacrifice and suffering. This world war is no excep- tion. We must support the government in every way we can. We must furnish other things than money. Money cannot be eaten. Money is val ueless if there is nothing it can buy. Here is where the farm CT and anyone interested in poultry can be of great help. More poultry is greatly need ed ana Will De TOT a long tune. To those who will be careful. who will raise what can be talk en care of properly a satisfac- t ry profit is assured. The call for American food and feed will be great in years to come and the Federal and State Gov ernments are very anxious that all should do their best to pro- duee. Get in touch with Mrs. F. M. Walker, who represents the nation and State in this work in this locality.

COMMITTEE MEETS
FOR DRAFTING Of
NEW REVENUE BILL

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee studied the sensational report
OF the Federal Trade Commission on
Iprofiteering today at its first meet
ing to draft the new revenue bill.
The report was regarded as clinch-
ing the statement of President Will
son that practically all additional
revenue required can be secured
from taxation of incomes, excess
profits and luxuries.
A dozen schemes for taxing articles
OF consumption. raising tariffs, etc,
were temporarily laid aside today
while the committee delyed into the
problem Of getting at excess profits.
Comparing the figures on profits
and incomes thus far submitted by
the Treasury Department. the com
mittee found ample confirmation OF
ali statements made by the commits
sion and much that could have been
H9ded.-
Statements by Robert S. Brookings,
head Of the price-fiXing division of
the war industries board, when the
committee began its hearings near
~ a month ago, were in conflict with
the report OF the Federal Trade
Commission. Brookings told the
committee that Federal price fixing
had so cut profits on commodities
on which it had been practiced that
no matter how high the excess
profits taxes, a disappointingly small
amount of revenue would be re-
turned.
Plainly the Ways and Means Com
mittee was much concerned over
Brookings' assertions. 1t was ready
20 stand out solidly against any ex-
tension Of the price fixing program.
The statement of the Federal Trade
Commission that huge profits have
been made by a majority of concerns, !
even where prices have been fixed. |
left the committee with conflicting
ideas on the subject.

illness had left him physically help

WON HIS SUCCESS
UNDER HANDICAPS

Every morning an automobile from
Bethesda, Nd, draws up to the Four
teenth street entrance OF the District
building. One OF the attendants Of
the building goes to the machine and
lifts out a big man, once one of
Washington's foremost athletes, but
now a helpless cripple from the
waist down.
The big man is carried through
the door and put tenderly into an
invalid's chair that can be fouInd in
the Fourteenth street corridor any
time outside OF business hours. The
big man wheels himself briskly to
the elevator and, with his invari;Ible
bright nod to the. elevator man. is
whisked to one of the busiest offices
Of the building, where he is one OF
the busiest wheels in the machine
All day long he is either directing
big jobs from his desk or making
quick visits in his wheeled chair to
the other Offices of the building to
see that other people are attending
to his big jobs.
The big man is Harry ]. Hunt, sec
retary to c. B. Hunt, engineer OF
highways for the District govern
ment, and he has earned a reputa-
ton for bigness. He has come to
be known as a man who has taken
little things and made great big ones
out of them, as one who has brought
success where most would have been
able to see only failure.
His life is a striking illustration OF
