Thousands of people last night
and this morning viewed the huge
guns and other equipment brought
to Harrisburg on Victory Artillery
Train, parked on the Market street
siding of the Pennsylvania Railroad
opposite the Reading station. Ad.
ditional thousands will witness eX-
hibitions scheduled for this after
noon.
The exhibitions take place at
$50. continuing to 4.30, and at $50.
continuing until $40. 1t was thought
likely that another exhibition might
be staged tomorrow, but at noon
to-day it seemed likely this is not
possible, inaSmuch as the siding is
required for the War Trophy Train
which reaches Harrisburg to-mor-
row afternoon.
Mrs. &. II. Sauers is to be COM
missioned a gunnerette this AFTER
noon OF this evening. ANY other
Harrisburg woman who wishes a
similar commission has only to do
what Mrs. Sauers will do-buy a
Liberty bond at the artillery train.
ANY woman who buys a bond Will
be commissioned a gunnerette and
will Immediately become part of
the battery. The heavy work of
loading the giant twelve-inch gun
will be done by the artillerymen,
but the bond buyer will pull the
lanyard and fire the shot. This will
not be a regular" shot. inasmuch as
337 pounds of explosives are re-
auired for such shots-and the de-
tonation would break every pane of
glass in the city.
How Guns Work
The commissioning of gunnerettes
will occur after Captain w. E. Star
buck has explained the operation of
the two large guns-the long one
and the mortar. Prior to Captain
Starbuck's speech a regulation drill
will be performed.

risburg at S.35 last night A crowd

MERCHANTS HAVE
HARD TIME TO
KEEP TAX BOOKS
Interpretation of New Lux
ury Levy Made by the
Revenue Department

"It takes the clerk longer to pre-
pare your bill than to serve you"
So comments one soda fountain
customer relative to the service re-
ceived at Harrisburg soda fountains
and ice cream parlors as a result of
the new luxury" tax, which became
effective on Thursday. Much extra
bookkeeping has been occasioned for
proprietors of such csta Adjustments
and some Harrisburg businessme en-
and their agents are nearly wild
with the complicated mass of fig
ures that they arc compelled to
compile.
1t does not suffice for the vendor
TO present his tax in Il lump sum
it is necessary that statements be
prepared showing the sum collected
for each class of taxable articles.
Daily records must be kept showing
separately the amount received for
each class of taxable transactions
.(grouped according to the amount
of sale) and the tax paid thereon.
Daily records must be kept and filed
with q duplicate of the monthly re-
turns at the places of business.
Separate reCeptacles must be pro-
vided, u ruling of the Internal
Revenue Department provides, in
case the proprietor does not use f,n
adequate cash register or check sys-
tenn from which daily and monthly
returns must be compiled. One
impairment must be provided for
holding the different amounts of
tax collected. in order to facilitate
the compilation of the daily and
monthly records of tax collection.
The Act Explained
Section $50 of the internal reve-
nue. law, as explained in an interpre-
tation of the law made public to-
day, carries the regulation for the
tax. 1t provides for the payment of
one cent for each ten cents or frac-
tion thereof of the amount paid for
drinks, soda, sundaes, ice cream,
etc. at the fountain or the parlor,
when they are sold for consumption
in or in proximity to the place of
business.
The whole amount of the total
purchase price is taxable. When
the price is paid at one time, though
in payment for several articles
which are the subject of single
transaction, the total price is the
unit for computing the tax. For
example, if YOU invite friend into
soda fountain and each order a
fifteen-cent drink, you will pay a
tax of three cents on the total of
thirty cents, rather than a tax of
four cents, or two cents onS each of
them. If, however after paying for
an article, the customer orders a

ITALY YIELDING
AND MAY RETURN
TOPEACE TABLE
French Gold but Correct" at
Versailles; Pact May Be
Signed June 1
By Associated Press.

Paris, May 3.-The Italian situa-
tion took n more favorable turn to-
day. The indications were that some
arrangement would be made for Italy
to be represented when the peace
treaty was presented to the Germans
next week.
Allies "Cold But Correct
In a German wireless dispatch
picked up in Paris the first meeting
of the German delegates with repre-
sentatives of the Allies is described
at length. The attitude of the French
officials is characterized as cold but
correct"
The message declares that the
French and British press treat the
arrival of the Germans as a matter
of minor importance and adds that,
according to the Dutch papers, the
American press has displayed a sim
liar Indifference. June 1 is given as
the probable date of the signing of
the treaty.
Territorial Status Settled
The territorial status of Germany
as definitely settled by the Council of
Three yesterday, says Marcel Butin
in the Echo De Paris will, in the view
of the Council protect the general
security Of Europe. The chapter in
which these decisions are incorporat-
ed, he adds, put an cffectual veto on
the "drang mach osten" movement
which the Germans desire to pursue,
prevents an alliance with the Russian
Bolsheviki and forbids the incorpo-
ration in Germany of German-Aus-
tria.
Americans Oppose Plan
Authoritative disapproval of plan
that has been advanced for the re-
habilitation of European financial
credit was expressed to-day by the
financial members of the American
delegation. 1t was made known def
nitely that the United States would
not be a party TO any joint action
having for it's purpose the restoration
of German business.

Involving Big Sum to High
er Court.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 3D. Stokes
". Robertson has been advised that
his suit as revenue agent against
land and timber owners in the south
ern part of the state has been lost.
The suits were instituted In the cotin-
ties of Green, Hancock, H0rrison,
jackson, LAMAR Pearl River and
Perry.
The state revenue agent alleged
that iessees Of timber lands were en-
titled to move only merchantable
timber that was merchantable at the
time the leases were made not en-
Titled to such timber as became mer-
chantable years after when 1t had
grown Into merchahtable timber.
The several suits were finally round
ed up in the federal court. and
Judge Holmes has now handed down
decision In which he holds that
the contention OF the revenue agent
is wrong and dismisses the several
bills.

to have been involved In these suits
and the cases will be appealed TO the

GARDEN NOTES
Elements in Fertilizers.

The three elements of plant food
contained in commercial fertilizers are
phosphoric acid. nitrogen and potash.
Nitrogen has the effect Of stimulating
the leaf growth, and phosphoric az i'd
and potash have a tendency to in.
crease root growth and to mature tie
seeds Of the plants. Root crops and
potatoes require reasonable amount
of potash. Corn, beans and others of
the garden crops. which are grown for
their pods or seeds, want a sufficient
supply of phosphoric acid. while let
tuce, celery, swiss charo un1 others OF
the salad or leaf crops require plenty
of nitrogen. The safest plan, how
ever, is to apply an all-round or COM
plete fertilizer having approximately
per cent phosphoric acid. 4 or
per cent nitrogen and or per cent
potash on land that Is to be devoted to
general garden crops.
One of the first obstacles encounter
ed by most town gardeners Is in break
ing up and preparing the soil. but the
difficulty is far from insurmo,lntable.
The farmer has teams and plows and
can easily prenare his garden. but in
the city it is hard to obtain a plow-
man, and in most cases the garden Is
