The next night Sophy acted as show
man at the first production of the play,
so long delayed because of Graillot's
insistence on q scene that promised
to be startling to English playgoers.
Her part was over at the end of the
first act, and few minutes later she
slipped into seat by Johns side be-
hind the curtain.
"What do you think Of it so far"
she asked little anxiously.
1T seems quite good" John replied
cheerfully. Some very clever lines,
and all that sort of thing; but can't
quite see what it's all leading to-"
Sophy peered around the house from
behind the curtain.
There isn't standing room any
where" she declared. Il don't sup

''The management" Sophy assured
him. do you come and take me! It's

The curtain went up upon the sec
ond act. John, from the shadows OF
the box. listened attentively. The
subject was not a particularly new
one, but the writing was brilliant.
There was the old Marquis de Guy"
roue, a degenerate, but still over
bearing and full of personality, from
whose lips came some of Graillot's
most brilliant sayings; Louise, his
wife; and Faraday, friend of the old
marquis, and obviously the intended
lover of his wife.
II don't see anything so terrible in
this" John remarked, as the crutain
went down once more and thunders
of applause greeted some wonderful
lines of Graillot's.

RETAIL DEALERS
MUST WATCH
LUXURY TAXES
NEW SOURCE OF INTERNAL
REVENUE MEANS MUCH
WORK TO STOREKEEPERS.

Ray p. Bier, a deputy collector
from the Grand Rapids office of the
United States internal revenue de-
partnient has been in this and other
surrounding towns for some days past
either collecting or making arrange
ments to collect special taxes mad
calling the attention of taxpayers to
the taxes which are now falling due
under the new law.
Under the provisions Of this new
law garages, auto livery men and
all Others operating automobiles or
other motor propelled vehicles for
hire must pay SPECIAL tax of $40
per car before engaging in the bust
ness. One drive for hire is sufficient
to make the owner of the car liable
to this tax. This will affect the
owner of an automobile who is in
the habit Of taking a neighbor or
other person to some other place and
receiving in return any recompense
for the service. While it will put a
stop to this practice it will boost bus
mess for the garage and auto livery
men who have paid their special tax.
Retail merchants who handle jew
elry, watches. clocks and similar lines
since April 1, have been compelled
to pay per cent of their sales as a
special tax. On and after May l.,
1919 all dealers in lee cream and the
like will be compelled to pay tax of
one cent on each sale of ten cents or
fraction thereof.
Dealers in toilet articles, perfumes,
patent medicines, pills, powders and
the like will have to pay tax of one
cent on each 25 cent sale or fraction
thereof on and after May /, 1919.
There is no way of evading the laws
provisions and evasion in any way
renders the dealer liable to the pen
alties of the law as prescribed in the
case.
Luxury taxes are effective May 1,
1919 and should be carefully studied
by all retail dealers in order that
there will be no violations Of the law
on their part. -

0RCHARD|STS ARE
WARNED TO WATCH
SPRING SPRAYING
PREVENTIVE MEASURES MUST
BE TAKEN WHILE BLOSSOMS

vent scab, the canker worm and the
bud-moth must be made while the
blossoms Of apple and pear trees are
"in the pink" is being sent out by the
Horticultural department at M. A. G.
at Lansing. Especial emphasis is laid
upon the fact that the spraying must
be made at exactly the right time, in
order to be effective.
This spraying if done at any other
time later on might be unlawful be-
cause of the fact that many bees
might be poisoned.
Bordeaux mixture CIR lime-sulphur
may be used for this spray for the
scab. For chewing insects there
should. be added to each so gallons Of
either, two or three pounds of arsen-
ate of lead paste or from one to one
and half pounds of arsenate of lead
arsehste of calcium powder. If
plant-lice or red bug are present when
this spraying is to be made, one
should add to the Bordeaux or to the
dilute lime sulphur and poison, one
half pint of Black Leaf 40 or some
other 40 per cent nicotine sulphate
solution.

as well as all other sprayings which
should be used by orchardists is con-
tanned in a bulletin recently publish
ed by the departments of horticul-
ture and entomology at M. A. c..

following is letter written by Joe
Selleck:.
Amsterdam, Hol., April III, 1919.
Dear Friend: | am in Holland now
and everything looks fine. There
are ever SO many windmills here
which look something like our eleva-
tors but have large fans or arms, as
they call them here. Some of these
are 40 feet across. There is not
farm here which does not have a
windmill
The cattle are almost all Holstein-
Fresian and are very fat, sleek and
good looking.
Everything is kept clean here.
Sometimes you can see women up ON
the roofs washing them. There is
not weed of any kind in the fields.
1t loks funny to see them take off
their shoes at the door. 1t also
looks funny to see children play
around with wooden shoes on, which
do not hinder them a bit. | can see
now why they wear them, which is
something / could not do before. The
reason is, that if they wore leather
shoes they would have their feet wet
all the time as the country is very
low.
Yours sincerely,

OVER 300 CASES
 OF FLU REPORTED
 FROM IA STATES
Twenty Cases From Ala bama Announced - Mild ness of Type Is Consid-
 cred Hopeful Sign
Rx Associated Press

Washington, September 2l.-More than 900 cases of influenza were reported to the public health service this week by IA states, but the disease has not reached the proportions of an epidemic in any state. The service announced today that the cases reported generally were of a mild type.
 States reporting and the numbers in each follow:
 Alabama, 20; Arkansas. IA; California, 5l; Florida, P; Georgia. 23; Kansas, Sl; Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 3; Maine, 5; Massa chusetts. AZ; Montana, 4; New Jer- sey, 20; New York, 31; Washington, s.
 The fact that the cases are of a mild type would seem to be hopeful sign, said Surgeon General Rupert Blue. However it is too early to make a forecast with any degree of certainty
 The wisest thing to do is for every person to avoid contact with those af- fected, to keep out of crowds and crowd ed places, to be on the lookout for the first symptoms, and when these appear to go directly to bed and summon a phy- sician.
 City and state authorities should by no means take it for granted that influ- euza will not return. Every sanitary precaution should be rigidly enforced until the danger has entirely passed"
