The stage Is full OF plays which
lear evidence of justifying the be-
lief that they were written within a
week, but until this time no one has
been heard to proclaim and boast
that fact.
Two promising pIaywrights left
New York Saturday afternoon for At
lantic City. They were accompanied
by a contingent OF secretaries. a lot
of white paper, typewriters and blue
pencils.
These two are Percival Wilde and
Samuel Shipman. Each has several
successful plays to his credit, and
they have decided to collaborate on a
new one which must be submitted in
complete form within FIVE days.
Theodore Kremer used to write his
plays in a week. and they always
looked it. Oscar Hammerstein once
wrote words and music to an opera
he called Santa Marie" and declared
the work had been performed in
twenty -four hours. Some critics
wanted TO know what he had been
doing for twenty hours OF the twenty
four.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WHERE THE TAX DIVORCES.

Gainesville Sun: We found, the other day, in The
Soda Dispenser, influential trade magazine copy OF
letter from our fellow townsman, Phillip Miller, to Sen
or Duncan u Fletcher which is the strongest argument
against the folly of the way the income tax law is en-
forced we have seen yet The magazine itself praises
Mr. Miller very highly for the originality and pontedness
Nth which this law is enforced
Mr. Miller says: Dear Senator: l think this the
first time have addressed letter to senator in regard
10 public matters. have always taken it for granted
that they knew more about their business than l do.
However in some cases all of overlook something.
Il am very much interested il this war tax on soda
ounts Not that I want to escape paying the govern
trent what is right and just, and if you will look into the
matter you will readily the injustice therein First
the extra expense and trouble it puts the merchant to to
collect it, We are allowed to sell glass of milk for
five ten cents but if put little chocolate in it,
It becomes chocolate milk, and must collect war
tax We can sell you small package Of cream if put
in package for you to take along with you-no tax but
we put it in cone for child, the child has to pay
cent war tax; or if customer should take dish and
SIT at one of tables and eat it, this customer has
tax to paw This same customer go into restap
rant next door, and buy dish of sit there and
eat it without paying any war tax. We sell glass
Of milk-no tax-an egg-no tax, but if put the
and milk together it then becomes mixed drink and
AK must be collected We used to sell thousands Of ice
cream cones to children before this went into Ell
'ect. Now we sell very few.
please take time to look into this matter I have
The law printed my cards and wish You could hear
hat customers say about it."
1t would be hard put things in nutshell any more
frcbly than this.

the Armour Company has made arrangements to carry

that of placing twenty purebred bulls in ten counties ad'

herds of farmers who cannot afford such bull themselves
The crossing of these purebred bulls with native grade
COWS will improve the herds and as this to be done
at a nominal expense, this opportunity will undoubtedly
be Immediately taken advantage of by the farmers and
livestock raisers in these ten counties. This work will
be carried on under the direction of K F. Warner who
comes here from the University of Nebraska where he
has been in charge of the livestock experiment station
for some time. He will also have charge of the live
stock exhibit and other exhibits of the Armour Company
at the State Fair and will meet the farmers and stock
men there and give them any information at his command
The Armour Company has invested a million dollars
in an immense packing plant and stock yards IN Jackson
