Cheap Containers Best.

The cost and treatment of containers

rant the use of an expensive, heavy
package because of the first cost and
the charges for postage. The con,

The trouble of returning empty con.

venient to take bulky package to the
post office Station. If the customer
can not conveniently store them and

producer should, if possible, use CON

consideration, however, as they should

splint baskets are satisfactory and the
cost is so small as to make the return

be clearly understood by both producer

made.

WINTER CONDITIONS

In the spring the production
of eggs on the farm is an easy
matter. Fowls which are at lib
erty to roam find an abundance
of green and animal feed on
their range, which with grain
furnishes perfect ration for
laying hens. In addition TO this
they get plenty of exercise and
fresh air. There is a valuable
lesson here that every poultry
keeper can learn from nature.
So far as lies within his power
the poultryman Should aim TO
make winter conditions spring
like.

tien among the farmer members of
the organization.
The local banks in Overton, county,
Tennessee, have been of great assist
anee to the home poultry club in that
they advanced $1,000 for the purchase
of breeding pens, consisting of ten
hens and one cock each. These pens
of breeders We're distributed among
the association members, each person
who took a pen agreeing to return TO
the bank after the first year 20 puilets
in payment for the 10 hens or pullets
and the male bird. These 20 purebred
pullets, with two male birds. were
then divided into two pens and given
under the same conditions to two new
members the following year. This
endless chain system is to be con-
tinued for period of five years. In
order to repay the original loan with
reasonable interest the club members
are obliged 10 dispose of their mongrel
hens when they have ceased to be
productive while additional funds
which accumulate over and above the
original allotment of $1,000 are de
posted at the bank to further Other

The normal tax rates for citizens

the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
- per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net in

THIS TELLS How TO
FIGURE INCOME TAX
Squarely Up to Every Individual
to Get Busy by March 10
or Suffer Penalty.

Don't wait until the final due date,
March 10th, for paying your Income
Tax and making your return. Avoid
the last minute rush. Any person can
figure out his liability today as well as
he can next week, ana If there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get in touch with a Revenue man. =
This word Of advice is. from Seth W.
Jones, Collector Of Internal Revenue,
Portsmouth,, " H., who is collecting
shire and Vermont Collector Jones is
giving without charge every aid of his
office and his enlarged field force to
help the people get their payments
and their returns in by March 10Th.
But the Income Tax men will not
Rpull your door-bell or your coattails,
according to the Collectors announce
ment. 1t squarely up to every indl-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to. get busy if he comes within the
scope Of the new Revenue law.
| Did You Earn This Much?
Every unmarried person who re-
lceiyed income averaging S19.25 week
during 1918 and every married couple
who Jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank blank Form 1910 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the Government.
| The law requires that every unmar-
| ried person who had q net income OF
4 $1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was $1,000 or
over Gncluding the income of husband
] or wife and the earnings of minor
children, if any must make return
on or before March 18th. And this re
quirement does not hinge ON whether
the person owes 4 tax.

FAMILY OF SNAKE CHARMERS
Women Have Peculiar Power Over
Reptiles Which the Ordinary
Person Holds in Dread,

Possibly nowhere else is the art of
snake charming brought to such
pitch of perfection as at Mount Popa,
Upper Burma, India, and strangely
enough by women. Here two famous
sisters, whose fame is bywOrd
throughout Burma, make their home.
At special requests they will conde-
scend to bring their proteges down to
the towns for exhibition of their skill,
but as rule they prefer the vicinity
Of their mountain. This particular
family has carried on their profession
for many years past, keeping their
secret always within their own circle.
The snakes they use are the deadly
hamadryad or naia bungarus (naia
Ophiohagus) the king cobra. The
task, possibly, would not appeal to
many, as these reptiles are the most
dreaded of their kind. Measuring up
to II feet in length, they possess a
deadly poison in their fangs, and an
alarming speed. 1t is said of them.
also, that they are the only snake who
will attack a human being on sight,
chasing him for miles until one or the
other Is bound to give In.
The snakes are fed on fowls, and
appear amenable and tame to handle.
The origin of the family and their
work is probably unknown, lost In
the dim passages of years, but their
zeal is not one whit less today than
1t has been since the profession was
first heard Of, How long they will
continue to carry it on is a matter for
conjecture, but undoubtedly they stand
for one Of Burma's chief curiosities,
and a mark for the enterprising tourist
who cares to scale the mystic heights
of Mount POpa.

Creative Ability.

In our Office We draw very distinct
line between designs or sketches and
working drawings, and it is, in my
opinion, fatal to try to measure de-
signer's ability by the number of hours
1t would take him to produce a sketch.
That is work that requires creative
Imagination, and our designers are not
Judged by the amount of time they put
into the solution of an architectural
problem, but solely by the results
which they obtain, irrespective of cost,
so that this part Of the work does not
come under this category. Only after
sketches have been approved, and the
work Is turned over to general drafts
men to be developed into working
drawings, can we begin to apply scien-
tific methods in accomplishing the diff
ferent ends.-Sunbeams.

The Wiu in History.

The custom of wearing wig, as
a recognized part of the costume,
dates from the early days Of the sew
enteenth century. 1t started in France,
when Louis XIII, being greatly struck
with the "lOng, fair locks" of the Able
La Rivere, attained by the simple
means of a periwig, adopted the style
for himself, and so set the fashion.
BY the time of Charles II the wearing
of the periwig, or peruke, or perruque,
had become general. Pepys records
the fact that he paid fS for one; but
1t was not until the time Of Queen
Anne that periwigs, or wigs for short,
really came into their own. Then did
they appear In the full glory of an
ever changing though fast stabillzinE
mShiOn.
