PoIiteness That Pays.

Politeness T hat Pays.
Two little girls were seated before
a plate that contained two punches OF
grapes-one a very large and tempt
ing and perfect bEnch, and the other
q small and hard and green bunch
The youngsters regarded the two
punches for a space Of time during
which they said nothing. Finally, the
polite child asked:
"Are you greedy?"
mo-" said the other, I'm not BIT
greedy"
"Then," said the first child, "You
choose"
Just as fast as it grows easier for q
man to do without friends he finds
that their number increases.

A QUEER TAX PROGRAM .

We wonder how many dirt-farmer
| members Of the American Farm Blu
| reau federation are in favor of the
national tax program being advocated
by it's representatives here.
They join big business in being
| against the excess profits tax, which
has taken considerable blood money
from the war profiteers and they
agree to a reduction of the big in
come surtax of from over so per cent
on the multi-millionaire incomes to
| about 20 per cent.
To make up the more than 900 mil
lions that can be derived from the ex-
cess profits tax and the advised reduc-
lions in the income surtax, the bureau
leaders would increase the taxes on
freight and passenger tickets to yield
S14S. 100000 more, and a number Of
taxes which for the most part will
reach the pockets of the consumers d.
rectly.
Among these new taxes advised are:
Federal license tax of SO cents Per
horsepower on all motor vehicles.
Gasoline tax of cent a gallon.
Sugar tax of cents a pound.
Coffee tax of cents a pound.
Tea tax of 10 cents pound.
A four-fold increase in stamp tax
rates.
Increase of first class postage to 8
cents.
Increases in tobacco and cigarette
taxes.
Increase of 10 per cent in taxes on
so-called luxuries.
Increase in corporation tax to Is

tainties'' are practically removed lroh

trfct is well fortified with enterprise
and henceforth it bids fair TO mum
" ith never-ehding industry.
The groups of events bearing on the
rufnro status of the Muscle Shoals
community may be summarized as fol-
lows:
The gra.t nitrate industries estah
ushed here by the government during
the war period are on the eve of
neace-time operation. Indubitably, OPP
GRAFTON of these plants in the very
near future is almost positively vouch-
afed already. Legislation Is pending
in Congress- that will not fail of pas
sage because of the demand and pres
sure behind the measures Only last
Thursday was it reported from Wash
iugton that Secretary of War Baker
had appeared before the special House
committee and before which he laid
the governments side of the case ex-
planning the necessity of appropriate
ing S12, 00O, 900 and which is needed by
the government to further the projects
here. AS he explained. approximately
Sc 600. 600 is required to cover the cost
OF erecting a sulphuric acid plant to
make ammonium sulphate inetead of
ammonium nitrate, the former being
used largely in fertilizer manufacture
and the latter being a principal in ex-
plos;ves. The remainder of the $i2,-
0G0. 900 fund is needed as working cap
ital in operating the industries and
marketing the products.
Conconitant with the proposed opera-
ton of the Muscle SHOALS nitrate plants
the construction progress on the Wilson
dam at Muscle Shoals continues on an
extensive scale Industrially the activity
in the dam construction is the stimular>
ing agency Of the district at the present
time AS an engineering feat il is one OF
| the greatest and most studendous enter
prikes of modern times. In many ways
the hydro-electric power development at
Muscle Shoals is highly picturesque ana
withal marvellous scientific study.
1t has been said that of all the tech
nicai works of man that signal the march
OF civilization hydro-electric develop
ment is the most romantic figure. In
deed. il may be stated that it is at once
the pioneer of industry and its most fin
ished achievement. 1t goes into the vii
darness primeval with all the refine
! rents of the sheltered laboratory; and
always is must break its own trail
rough-hew its aggressive way against all
the obstacles an unfriendly nature mas
devised.
But because nature broke her rule for
once, and played engineer herself in the
LAYING out of an ideal site for such a
project, the complete story when finally
written of Nthe Muscle Shoals hydro-elec-
trlc development should prove rare
treat.
Muscle Shoals is drawing the attention
OF the composite eye of the world. Mar
velous and picturesque Muscle shoals IS
vast store of scientific study, thrilling
and exceptionally interesting.

OF THE LOAFERS AND
FISHERS

No well-regulated magazine goes to
press these days without more or
less learned exposition of the justly
famous H. G. L. and its relation to
things as is But it was left to the
Chicago Herald and Examiner to sum
it up succintly in their seductiyely
"borrowable" words:
Put one hundred men on an island
where fish is a staple article of sus
tenance. Twenty-Five of the men
catch fish. Twenty-Five others clean
the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish.
twenty-five hunt fruit and vegetables.
The entire company eats what thus
is gathered and prepared. There is
plenty. All hands are happy
Ten of the allotted fish catchers
stop catching fish
Ten more dry and hide part of the
fish they catch.
Five continue to catch fish, hut
work only part Of the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the community
kitchen
But the same number of men in
sist upon having the same amount of
fish to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
and cooked the fish have less to do,
owing to the under-supply of fish.
But they continue to demand food.
Gradually great burdens are laid
upon the fruit and vegetable hunters.
These insist upon a large share of
fish in return for their larger efforts
in gathering fruit and vegetables.
But the entire hundred men con-
tinue to insist upon their right to
eat
|. The daily food supply gradually
shrinks The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one of them. The man with two
bananas refuses to part with one for
fewer than three fish.
Finally, the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody
continues to eat. The hidden fish
are brought to light and consumed.
Comes a day when there is no food
of any kind. Everybody on the island
blames everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu7
ton? Exactly! We thought you
would guess it. For we repeat that
you can't eat, tuy sell, steal, give
away, hoard, wear, use, play with or
gamble with WHAT ISN'T!

RAIN INSURANCE

Interest in the new business of
writing policies insuring against loss
by rain is reviving. An insurance
company recently received inquiry
from the management of an old
fashioned picnic enterprise and, an
other came from a scientifically-in
clined man who wanted to set aside
a certain day to develop some import
ant films which require clear day.
Weather insurance was primarily
based upon q desire to protect crops
against damage. It opens a wider
field, however, and there is no reason
why any man or corporation whose
enterprise depends upon fair weather
should not have protection against
loss
Those who have entered the field
of writing PJuvious policies, as they
are called in the trade, are pledged
to eliminate any chances of the rain
insurance becoming a form of gamb-
ling. 1t took about 40 men several
weeks to digest weather reports and
figure out the percentage of risk upon
which the amount of premium is paid.
The policies are designed to meet re
quirements of almost anything from
open-air fetes and weekend holidays
down to dog fight.-N. Y. Times.

We are greatly indebted to our city

large amount the success of our cam

to their credit it can be said that they
