Roofing Him Out.

in Chicago a red hot investigation is
being made OF million dollar corpora
tons that dodge their taxes, or pay
only small proportion Of what they
should justly pay.
This is Just one more reason why the
government should make public the
amount of taxes paid by every citizen
and by every business concern, corpora
tion or otherwise, including income tax.
II big business is ever required to pay
its just proportion OF taxes, the burden
will fall less heavily upon the poor
man, WHO has but slight opportunity
to evade payment Of his taxes.
Publication of the income tax, to-
gether with the property tax, will dis
close whether or not there is gen
tleman OF color in the woodpile.
The public should demand full pub
.licity in all tax matters. ~ Press Dis

lcwing re-olution:
"First-We endorse and urge leg

"Third-We Earnestly and unqual-

purpose of which is to donate money
to ex-service men merely because of
the fact that they were in the serv-

grading to those who served fer

UNION CITY HIGH
STAGES FINE BATTLE
Normal Tigress Six Wins Victory
Over Union City Tossers.

Normal Tigress sextette clawed
their way to victory over the Union
CITY Tossers last night in the cage
Of the Normal School gymnasium by
the score OF 16 to a.. The struggle
was the fastest and hardest con-
tested game played by the Tigresses
this season.
In the first half both teams forged
to the front in their quest for a vic
tory, only to be forced out OF the
lead by a major offensive of the ap-
par >rt losers. These seesaw tactics
were INDUCED in throughout the en-
tire period.
The second half was much OF a
repetition of tho first. The feature
Of the play was the inability of eth
er Of the teams to gain a margin OF
triumph. The tilt ended in Ia to
IA deadlock, but a protest from the
captains of these heated rivals decid-
ed to hattie off the tie.
In the extra session the endur-
ance of the Tigresses was. superior
to that. of the Union City scxtette
iEd after few minutes of play
that same endurance told the story
The visitors defense weakened and
the Normal's sterling forwards added
enough points to elinch the bonors
The final score was Normal 16, I'm

Misses Robinson and Lcvelace,
forwards, were the brilliant lights OF
the Normal Tigresses' lineup, while

why / Use a Purebred Bull.

a. L. "A purcbred bull is a good in
vestment.
q. Farming is my profession. Good
livestock IS indicative of good farm
ing.
8. Good steers and heifers bring
more money than scrubs.
4, A scrub takes just as much
time in feeding; consumes just as
much feed; puts it to less use and
when he goes on the market, | am
the loser.
s.. Tho good calf brings from $40
to $40 more than thu scrub at wean-
ing time, and from $25 to $40 more
when mature.
6. 1t requires six to eight months
more time and feeding to mature the
scrub as compared with the good
steer. Time is money.
q. The market reports during the
year of 1919 show a depreciation in
plices &c to 10c per pound between
the scrub steer and the grade steer.
"Blood will tell" The average
weight of cattle marketed at jack
sonylilc, Fla, for 1919 was $50
pounds; Now Orleans, $50 pounds;
st. Louis 1850 pounds; Kansas City
and Chicago 1850 pounds. The cat
tie on the two outhern markets
were 6 to 10 months older than
those on the three northern markets.
s. The more good steers grow,
the more | dSsire to have on my
farm.
9. Scrubs are repulsivo to my
pride and to my sense Of duty toward
the profession in which ! am en-
gagged.

EARLY FARM WORK
LIVESTOCK INTERESTS
Things to do on the Farm in March.

Hardy vegetables for the family
should be plented late in March. Set
out small fruits. rhubarb and as
raragus. Take good care of any veg
etables which. were tr&nsplanted
from hotbcdc in February.
AS to the livestock, tighten the
grain ration with plenty of pasture
before narrowing time. Keep sheep
on winter pastures (not wheat.)
Feed two parts of cracked corn and
one part of bran to lambs in creeps.
Dock the lambs. Begin to gradually
harden work stock to heavy labor,
taking care to watch their shoulders
legs and feet.
The field crops will take much
time now. Sow Japan clover on
poor Spots. An acre of cpring oats
end rape on rich land for each
brood sow will save a great deal OF
corn. Sow rape like turnip seed. In
State, plant patch of soy beans
with some variety of early corn for
hogs (one-half acre for ten head) :.
April is plenty early for this crop in
the northern, part of the State. Disc
well before plowing; at the end OF
each day follow with a plank drag
or harrow. 1t is good idea to plow
in big gullies and plant with black
locusts or Bermuda sods. Rebreak
the fall plowed land to kill wild
onions.
Take good care of baby chicks on
cold March Jays. Keep them warm
nd dry. Set more eggs this month.
In some parts Of the State this is
house cleaning time. Screen the
house and porch; make outhouses
sanitary; destroy all breeding places
of flies and mosquitoes. This means
nore than most of us realize toward
the good health of the family during
the coming summer, for flies and
mosquitoes are germ carriers.
