AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FED.
GRAFTON MEETING.

Two outstanding deyelopments of
the quarterly Executive Committee
meeting of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation held in Denver Mon
day and Tuesday of Iast u,oat, ,,oua
decisions to attempt to make sure
that any revision of national taxa-
ton laws as is contemplated. does
not shift a greater burden from the
industrial interests to the poor dear
public" and the creation of a traffic
department. Both are subjects of
vital interest to the thousands of
farm bureau members of the various
| states.
The decision on taxation followed
4 review of agitation which has been
inspired by some Industrial interests
for repeal of the present excess pros-
Its tax, which takes from net earn-
ings of corporations and other bust
lesses per cent. of all profits in
excess of rs per cent net profit nm
on investment. This tax last year
-aised for the government almost Q
billion dollars. Several substitutes
have been suggested but all operate
to shift this tax burden to more or
less degree to the individual consum
ers.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
9ration's idea is that the big tax
burden of the country should be
borne largely by the interests most
able to pay and should not be paid
nut of the living wage which is all
that the average individual consum-
r has ut is also commended that
the excess profits tax has not "cripp-
DIed" business to any discernible ex-
tent and that 1t seems a ronserva-
i've tax, when II is considered that
Great Britain leyies similar tax,
IF 60 percent. instead of 40 percent.

ity and a chairman OF the u. s.

BOB HIGGINS WILL
 MAKE GOOD LEADER FOR 1920 CRACKERS
Morgan Blake Has Some thing to Say About ''Uncle
 BOb"-His Record

Morgan Blake, sporting editor of the Atlanta Journal, has this to say about Bob Higgins, probabls manager of the 1920 Crackers:
 Uncle Bob Higgins. veteran South ern league catcher, and who is destined to be the manager of the Atlanta team this year. is one of the most interest tng characters in the league. Bob drift ed by the office recently and the old boy IS already champing at the bit ana eager for the training season to open.
 Although the oldest catcher in pom of service in the Southern league, Bob is still regarded as the best man be- fine example of the atnlete who takes care of himself and keeps in condition His arm is still deadly and base rum ners are not very daring when he IS behind the platter.
 Bob is rugged type, with world of endurance. In 1915, while with New Orleans, he set the high-water mark for catchcrs. when he caught l52 con secutive games. every game played by his club that year. He went S9 consec- utive games that year that without a passed ball and in one game he made q record that tops all others in the south. He had eight assists in one con test catching six men at second base, and he had an assist at third and an other at first. Gabby Street has the next best record iii this regard in the south. with seven assist in one game.

 and Present

Preachers will work overtime this year, hscording to interesting statistics that were gathered in courthouse circles. As sistaut Coroner John R. T. Rives. Doc William Evans, clerk of the county jail. and several others got together and have come to the conclusion that there are more Sundays in this year than in the mast 4o. and furthermore that there won .be as rrany again for 40 more years
 February is blamed for this unusual oc- eurrence, 1t was shown, by the fact sna' the month starts on and ends on Sunday, making five Sundays in the month. This being leap year, and February hay vnr g days, started the statisticians to figuring. Next they saw by the calendar xhat the first day of the month feil on , Sunday. and that the last day would fall on that day.
 Then while several of the men fig' ured from a mathematical standpoint, the others began to look up the calendars. and 1earnei that Sunday came five times n -Four r,onths of this year, while during the mast 70 years 1t has only come five times fu three months of the year.

matter, Colonel "Quack says the club can worry along without his services.
 STEVE TO PLAY THIRD
 Tom Stevenson, according to Moey's present plans, will be shifted to third base in place of the deposed Webb, which leaves gaping hole at short. The Baron pilot is now dickering with shortsmith. and will have his name on the dotted line by the time he reports here, it is believed.
 Of the outfielders, Al Ellis promises to be the~ only veteran of 1919 who will again adorn the Baronial gardens. Dun can, of course. belongs to Cincinnati, and Summa, though he will probably be given a tryout, failed to display much class while here last season
 The pitching staff needs more repair than any other part of the local machine. That 1919 mound corps will go down into history as the prize boob aggregation of ail- time. Morrison Coffindaffer and Glazner are regarded as the strongest candidates of the lot, but all of them will report for spring practice.
 Of the 1919 regulars, Peters, Bernsen, Stevenson and Ellis are the survivors who stand a good chance to make the team this year. Moley has big Job ahead of him.

 The match tonight is little experiment that the B. A. c. is trying. Before this, enly heavyweight championship wrestlers have been put on at these matches, but working on the theory that the fans are tired of such matches, the club is pre- senting lighter wrestlers for tonight's bout.

Besides this factor, the men have met twice before, the affair Sesulting in a draw each time. So there ns bound to be quite bit of rivalry De- hween the two men, rivalry which IS SRpet likely to make the match better
