ANNIVERSARY OF
 FIRST DAILY NEWSPAPER

Since we celebrate scores of hoh- days and anniversaries and festivals why not one more in honor of the greatest popular educational in fiuence the world has even known :? Why not Daily Newspaper Day?'' And what date more appropriate than today the anniversary of the estab- Lshment of the worlds first daily newspaper, the London Couraut, on March II, 1TO2?
 There are, of course, numerous reasons why such an observance Is not necessary nor desirable First every day Is Daily Newspaper Day. with the great majority of tls civ Ilized peoples of the earth, and that is the most satisfactory way-to the publishers-Of observing the day. Secondly, the editors and reporters are modest chaps, and would shrink from having honors heaped upon them. Another reason is that news paper men haven't any holidays, and they would be too busy writing up'' the celebration to play the role. Last ly, such an observance would neces- sttate public recognition of the fact that it was a, woman who originated d the idea of a daily newspaper and put the plan into execution.
 The London Daily Courant, first ts- sued 217 years ago today by ''E. Nal let, against the Ditch at Fleet Bridge" was originated, owned and published by Elizabeth MalIet, who, to escape criticism-it beiAg before the day of woman's active partici- patton in public afTalrs-hid behind the non-commitaI initial ''E.''

They will keep in this way for several are deep enough in moist soil so that days but they should not, of course, be left until growth starts.
 FOLLOW YOUR PLANTING DI- FACTIONS CAREFULLY. Many planters, in spite of all that the nurseryman says, refuse to "cut back" plants when setting them out. Try to get away from the idea that you are sacrificing part of the plant by following planting instructions. Plants properly cut back when they are set out will. before the end of tho first seasons growth, be far ahead of those which are left Just as received from the nursery. As a rule half to two-thirds of the canes or tops of such plants as entrants and gooseber- rtes should be pruned off at planting. The broken branches or broken roots should be cut off clean with a par of pruning shears or a sharp knife below the injury. You can request the nurseryman to do this pruning for you before shipping. Unless es- pecially requested, however the plants will be sent just as they are dug from the field because most GUS toners would complain if they re- ceived plants already cut back. The average buyer wants to get as much as possible for his or her money
 If the soil Is dry put a quart or so of water in each hole when the soil has been about HALF filled in. Do NOT finish your planting and then pour water on the surface. as is us ually done. The soil filled in about the plant should be packed down by the hands or even with the feet VERY FIRMLY. Do not be afraid of hurting the roots by making the soil too firm

TODAY7S ANNIVERSARY.

The first income tax imposed III England was provided for in an act of parliament passed 407 years ago, to enable the King to enter on a war with France. In 179S MT. Pitt pro- posed and carried, after great op- position, tax on incomes,'' as an aid for the prosecution of the war with France Graduated duties were inn posed on all incomes of $500 and over. In 1896 the income tax was increased ten per cent. on all in comes above $750, and lower rates on smaller incomes. Since that time the British income tax has almost doub- led with each war. The United States imposed an income tax in 1863, to carry on the Civil War. Incomes be- tween $500 and S5,000 were taxed five per cent, those between $5,00O and S1O.000 paid seven per cent, ana those above S1O,0O0 were taxed ten per cent.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 THE GREAT BLIZZARD"

While this winter will go down as probably one of the mildest on rec ord in the United States and one which, especially in the Eastern States, was almost snowless and windless, there are many who will re- call that just thirty-one years ago today March II, 1888, there began The Blizzard which practically par alyzed the whole country. A sixty mile gale combined with a tremen- dous snowfall blocked railroad traf- fic and shut off telegraphic communi- cation throughout New York and Pennsylvania. When the blizzard was at it's height the business section of New York city was practically de- serted, as neither employers nor em- ployees were able to reach their places of business.

BOY SCOUT WEEK
LAUNCHED SUNDAY

With fair delegations present from
all parts of the valley, American Boy
Scouts Week was enthusiastically ush-

achievements, Supt. Gibson declared

ties with great pride.
In addition to Boy Scout officials,

RIPENING SLOWLY
BERRIES ARE FINE

low temperature prevailing here since
Sunday have brought discomforts to
tent dwelling harvest hands, the
weather conditions have resulted in a
fine quality of Strawberries. While
rains and high temperature would re-
suit in large, soft fruit, the extremely
cool nights cause the berries to mature
slowly and to ripen in firm state.
The cold weather, however, has re
