mercial Cable Company.
New York, May 19.-The United
States government has filed suit in
supreme court against the Commercial
Gable company to recover income
taxes alleged to be due and unpaid for
the years 1909 to 1915, inclusive.
The complaint alleges that returns
filed by the Commercial company in
1909 to 1915 were incorrect, mislead-
ing and false, and failed to set forth
the net taxable income of the corpora
ton for those years."

An Ancient Custom,

Mr.. Inglefeld, the principal door,
keeper at the British house Of COM
mons, is dead. His was quite a re-
sponsible post, for the holder must
have an astounding memory for faces.
The house of commons is probably the
last place where snuff is regularly TAX
en-. The attendants take it because
they have long hours of duty in which
smoking is barred, and a good many
members apparently follow the ancient
habit. Mr.. Inglefeld, the Liverpool
Post says, always kept a box on his
seat at the door, and it was surprising
to see how numerous were the men,
bers who helped themselves to a pinch
as they went in or opt Of the house.

Uses of Paramn

Paraffin is very useful, and does
wonders for the housekeeper, tho
some people look upon it as a
greasy liquid unfit for cleansing
purposes. A soft cloth moistoned
with it and used on the furniture
in regular dustings will brighten
the wood. Many laundresses put
little into the water in which
soiled clothes are soaked, and a
little added to the starch will keep
the irons from sticking. --Paraf-
fin is also good for cleaning en-
ameled bedsteads, bath tubs,
sinks, etc. Paint is greatly i'm
proved if cleaned with a soft cloth
and parafiin, the dirt coming away
without injuring the surface or
spelling the lustre.

How to Cut Christmas Trees

Instructions for cutting cedars
and other evergreens for use as
Christmas trees are given by the
Department of Agriculture in a
special bulletin just issued. The
Department recommends that
whenever it is possible a tree be
cut from a group of comparatively,
compact growth. Isolated trees
should not be cut, the Depart
ment says, because this leaves a
gap that future growth cannot
fill. Observance of this rule will
prevent the stripping of wooded
tracts.
1t is suggested that very large
trees such as are required for use
in municipal celebrations or in
churches need not be symmetrical
in their natural state, but can
easily be made so by boring holes
in the trunk and inserting limbs
of proper size to give the tree a
rounded appearance. This meth
cd is recommended where it is
necessary to transport large trees
for considerable distances. All
the branches may be cut off and
replaced in holes prepared for
their reception.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By T. T. and D. W.

The prospective basket ball
games with Idaho Springs will
take place on December 5th. From
the black eyes and bloody noses,
we judge that there must be a
great deal of antagonism among
the girls for places on the team.
Also, we are challenged to a de-
bate with the same town on the
subject, Resolved that the U. S.
Government Should Purchase and
Operate the Railroads"
The greatest history students
that G. G. H. S. has ever produced
or is ever destined to produce, are
the members of the class of 1919.
The Hon. Eddie Davis and Robert
Grutzmacher have thus far re-
ceived the highest grades.
We thought perhaps the public
would be interested in knowing
that our famous biology class is
about to investigate the compli-
Gated anatomy of a fresh supply
of crayfish just received from the
Atlantic ocean.
Those absent this week are:
Louise Hartman, Lorraine Will
Jams and Myrna Davis.
School closes Wednesday for
the holiday vacation of two days.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A lot of the girls who think they
are the whole show haven't much
to exhibit.
The man who is content with
himself isn't always that content
ed with other people.
Religion is a good thing. But
some men devote so much time to
the next world that they never get
anywhere in this world.
Now that it has prohibited the
cure, we hope congress will enact
law prohibiting snakes from bit
ing.
The man who minds his own
business is bound to run one-two
in any popularity contest.
Faith may move mountains. But
it takes team of horses to get
your automobile out of "a mud
hole.
A lot of women who are secret
ly contemplating divorce would
be surprised if they knew how
willing their husbands would be
to furnish the coin for the attor-
neys and the other expenses.
And what has become of the
old-fashioned man who used to
get up Dutch lunches for his
friends?
There are times in every mans
life when he is an elephant on
the hands of someone who doesn't
know what to do with him.
Men like to talk about women
being vain. But every homely
man believes that what he lacks
in beauty he makes up in ability
No man will admit it. But when
he starts telling his wrongs he is
very unreliable.
If a girl has them, she knows
that freckles are beauty spots
But if she hasn't them, she knows
that they are blemishes.
Somehow or other the eager
drys forgot to put an item in the
enforcement bill prohibiting bah.
les from taking nourishment out
of bottle.
Maybe fat man wouldn't lool
as fat as he does If he had as
much sense as fat woman and
used a REINFORCED canvas jacket
and two yards Of clothes line tt
flatten his tummy.
There are lot of places in this
world where you do not have tc
pay to get in. but you have to pay
like Sam Hill to get out.
If some married women did not
wear skirts you would never be
able to tell them from their hus'
bands.
