Believing War Should be Financed by
Gifts, Gives $500 With Tax.
Honesdale, Pa, Jan. 31.-Every
time his income taxes became due,
L. ]. Eddy, of this place, not only
paid them to the collector of internal
revenue, but at the same time sent
an additional check for double the
amount to the treasurer of the Unit
ed States.
In time he donated to the govern
ment by this method 1915.
Desiring to make his gift $500 and
not having with him the ready money,
he sent his, note to mature in three
months, for S225, made payable to the
treasurer of the United States. He
believed that the war should be fl
nanced by outright gifts of money.
and that the people should contribute
instead of investing in government
securities bearing interest and with
returnable principal.
Treasurer John Burke did not mark
up the note as credit. but held it
on his desk When il matured he call
ed the attention of the maker, inquir-
Ing whether Mr.. Eddy still desired
to give the sum set down in the docu-
ment. Mr.. Eddy's check was the re-
,ponse.

CHAMPION BOY CORN
GROWER OF MARYLAND
Raises 117.9 Bushels of Corn at a
Profit of $171.39. From an Acre
OF Land.

This is the record made by Alfred
Harris, Jr.. of Kent county. in a COM
muaity where the average yield of
corn is around about 80 bushels. 1t
was not all a matter of luck either,
for, says the Maryland Farmer, the
land given the boy on which to grow
the corn was none 100 good. And
in addition it had been allowed to
lay bare without cover crop all
winter.
Eight tons of manure, 700 pounds
of 2-10-0 fertilizer and plenty of
cultivation simply put life into the
soil and it responded vigorously. So
well was the project carried out that
even though Harris had sold his corn
for the almost forgotten old-time
price of soc. per bushel, he would
still have realized not profit of SIS

The Secretary of War Also Urges the
Aban donment of the National Guard
Sites-Face Heavy Damage Suits.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Abandon-
ment Of fourteen Of the sixteen ma
tional guard camps and purchase by
the government of the sites of all
National army cantonments, was urg-
ed by Secretary Of Wa. Baker and
Benedict CrOwell, the assistant secre-
tary, before the house military COM
mittee.
Camp kearney, Cal, and Camp Sc
vier, S. c., would be the two guard
camps acquired by the government,
with the others returning to landOwn-
ers at the expiration of present leases.
The recommendations were made
without regard to future military pol
icy Secretary Baker explained that
he considered the acquisition OF the
land as solely business proposition,
and that, regardless of the size of the
future army, it would be the policy
of the war department to train men
in large units, instead of small ones.
as in the past.
In response to questions by Repre-
sentative Caldwell the secretary said
the department fei5 it was unwiSe to
speculate on universal training.
Retention of the national army
camps, Mr.. Baker said, was favored
because of heavy investments made
there and because if they were dis
mantled later large return was as
sured the government both from the
salvage of buildings and from the
sale of the ground.
In reply to Representative Nc
KenZie. of Illinois. the secretary said
he believed the department had the
authority to carry out its proposals,
but that congress had the power to
stop it, and that the recommended
tionS were submitted with the view
that the department might nuot be
criticised for not taking congress into
its confidence.
Mr.. Caldwell said Camp Kearney
was valuable from a military point
of view because Of proximity to the
Mexican border. and it might be ac-
quired from California authorities for

damages of 100000 would have to be

CANADA RESTRICTS EXPORTS

Britain's import Regulations Will
ARMY to Dominion's Products
Ottawa. Jan. 31.-The Canadian
war trade board has been notified
that restrictions imposed by Great
Britain on her imports will apply to
Canadian exports.
1t is expected that the dominion
cabinet will make representations to
the imperial government, with view
to obtaining preferential licenses for
Canadian products.
The restriction regulations cover
commodities in which a promising
export trade from Canada had been
built up. Going back to 1913, the last
year unaffected by trade in war ma
terials, Canadian manufactures of
these commodities exported to Great
Britain totaled 4.21 per cent of all
Canadian manufactures sent to the
mother country.
