Future Supply of Binder
Irvine May Be Home Grown

American farmers use 20O,OOO,OOO
pounds Of binder Irvine q year, while
an additional 100,O000O0 pounds is
necessary for the other grain-grow-
ing countries. Eighty per cent of the
henequen used in the manufacture of
Irvine comes from Yucatan and most
Of the sisal used in making Irvine
also is imported from foreign coun-
tries. For the protection Of Ameri-
can farming interests the United
States department of agriculture is

Taxis and Other Motor
Vehicles Must Pay Tax

Taxicabs, jitney buses and other
passenger automobiles operated for
hire are subject to special government
taxes under regulations issued by the
international revenue bureau inter-
preting the provisions of the revenue
act. An automobile with a seating ca
pacity of froDl three to seven is taxed
$40 year, apd buses capable of car
rying more than seven are taxed $40.
Two-passenger cars are exempt. The
regulations provide that "bus lines, au-
tomobile stages and jitneys operating
over regular routes and cars operated
by sightseeing companies are liable
to the tax. The tax is assessed against
the car and not the owner, so that If
a man sells a car he may not transfer
the tax to another car. This tax be-
came effective January /.

HIS cRUTcH

He hobbies down the quiet street,
! A. youthful veteran
Whose heart is still attuned unto
The drums wild rataplan,
Whose ears are deafened even yet
BY battles dread alarm,
Whose hating step depends upon
The crutch beneath his arm.
His good right leg is gone-afar
In Flanders mud 1t lies,
But there's smile upon his lips,
For still Old Glory flies.
And though slow and painful gait
His mundane progress mars,
Beholdl his spirit vaults the clouds
And strides among the stars.
jWashington's sword and Franklin's staff
And Lncoln's pen shall be
Embossed forevermore upon
The shield of Liberty;
And 10! the doughboy's battered crutch,
Through Times eternal flight,
VIII stand a signpost on the road
To Freedoms mountain height.

Thrush Has Own Method OF
Strengthening the ShelIed
SnaiIs to Get the "Goody"

In districts where shelled snails are
abundant it is no rare thing, says o
writer, to come across stone utilized
as a slaughter block by some particu-
lar thrush. Even If the bird is not
caught in the act, numerous broken
and empty shells scattered in the.
neighborhood betray the place where
the mollusks have been done to death.
The method adopted by the thrush
is simply that Of dropping snail
from a height time and again until
the shell is broken and the succulent
body within is exposed to the captor's
beak. But the anvil is sometimes
made use of in a different way and
with a different end in view. The
other day, in the depths of Highland
birch wood, an observer came upon
such a sacrificial stone, at which q
thrush was busily occupied. Field
glasses made evident that not snail
but a common black slug was his cap-
tive. This he grasped by the middle
with his beak, dashing it repeatedly
with resounding smacks upon the
stone, whence it occasionally rebounds
ed, only to be caught and hammered
once more.
Subsequent examination of the
stone revealed with what effect the
operation had been carried out. But
what of it's purpose? Here was no
shell to be broken. 1t may be that
the thrush simply wished to kill its
prey, but the fact that thrushes swal-
low wriggling worms without hesita-
ton renders this explanation improb-
able. It is more likely that the skin
of the slug was too thick and coarse
to be palatable and that the thrush
was simply endeavoring to dash OUT
the edible portions within; or that II
was attempting to render the skin
more tender by method analogous
to the domestic batting of steak.

New Gold Discoveries in
Alaska Attract Attention


Present Indications point to re-
vival of gold mining in Alaska that
should make new records in produc-
ton. Many new discoveries have
been made in recent months and
numerous stampedes have taken place
during the winter. An extensive discov-
cry was made in the Sslcha country.
New gold discoveries have also been
made recently on Eva and Moose
creeks, tributaries of the Nenana
river, and another Of but slightly less
importance on Hosannah creek. An
unfailing sign that something new is
about to be disclosed is large move
ment Of prospectors into the hills in
the Bonnifield district.

on the training trip that he had re-
gained his old-time form.
Cleveland has been generally picked
as one of the contenders for the Ameri-
can league pennant this season. The
only apparent weakness of the indians
in the before-season dope was the
pitching staff.
With Morton in form to help the
ever-consistent and effective Stanley
Covaleskie, Cleveland looms UP as ex-
tremely dangerous.

Whisky floats more trouble

The more promises a man
gives the fewer he keeps.
If there ever was fool killer

Guy Morton Promises to
Put Cleveland Indians in
Limelight This Season

Guy Morton of the Cleveland In
dams bids fair to prove the sensation
Of the American league. Early in the
season he pitched two full games with
out allowing run.
Before the American league season
opened he shut out New Orleans and
Milwaukee.
Several years ago Morton suffered
an injury to his arm. 1t was feared
he would never be useful on the mound
again.
He pitched well late last year. And
this spring he showed in New Orleans
