SAVE XMAS BERRY
OUT-OF-DOOR CLUBS
PLEAD WITH PUBLIC
(BY United Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-With
the warning that if the west is not
careful it will see a day in the rear
future when the holiday season will
be absent of the merry red berry, the
California Association of Out of Door
Clubs today launched a campaign to
Save the Christmas Berry
Plans for the campaign, which is to
be educational, were laid at confer
ence here last night.
Reports submitted showed that
careless picking of the red sprays
often resulted in complete destruction
of the bushes. Many sections where
the Toyone or "Christmas berry" once
flourished are now practically de-
pleted.
Thirty-seven arrests, it was stated,
were made in San Mateo county alone
last week as q result of destruction Of
bushes.
From several districts, notably in
the Santa Cruz mountains, it is report
ed that the crop of Toyon Christmas
berry is practically failure. The
birds have taken a tremendous toll,
being driven to this kind of food, it is
believed, by the shortage of some 9TH
er more popular variety. What ber-

WHERE ARE THE OLD
RED FLANNELS OUR
CRANDSIRES WORE?
(Ry United PreSSl

SEATTLE, Nov. 30. = What has
become of the old red flannels our
grandsires wore?
A Star writer, in search Of the illu-
sive red flannels, made a sweeping
investigation of this clty's stores IN
pursuit of the "reds." Not trace OF
the bolshevik garments could he find.
With the advent OF frosty weather
a large portion of this city's popula-
ton is turning toward tie heavles,
but wonder shrouds the disappear
ance of the garments that made Amer
ica famous.
One we'll known dealer has attrib-
uted the loss of the blatant reds to the
fact that fancy brands Of undergar-
ments enticingly advertised in all the
magazines now claim the fidelity Of
the elite and the not SO elite. Only
on the water front is there any sale
for the warm ticklers.
AS for the old fashioned girl who
once wore them-where is she?
"Whisper it not in Gath, tell it not
in Bonsheba," but she finds solacc, if
not warmth, in the salmon pink ''pret-
ties" that are the delight of the ad-
vertisement illustrators.
No, we don't handle them, one Of the
/ exclusive stores replied. We haven't
carried them in stock for years. Our
7 best people no longer wear them.
Debutantes shun them. II you want
suit try an antique store, was the ar
rogant rejoinder Of one dealer.
Even the big Alaskan outfitting
stores no longer carry the scarlet "un-
mentionables. The oldtimer who
used TO sit and argue by the hour that
the red flannels were far warmer and
richer in color degrees than those Of
any other shades has gone the way Of
the Dodo and the Dinosaur, and the
superstition that red is a good pre-
! ventive for rheumatism has long since
been dissipated. Nowadays the sour
dough" wants something snappy in old
rose or phosphorescent purple.

The great Sahara desert covers the
major part of northern Africa, con
slsting of 100000 square miles-an
arid region as large as the whole OF
Europe. From 100 feet below sea level
ii rises in one instance to 5000 feet
above, and some of its elevations are
covered with snow for three months
of the year. Most of it, however, is a
dry, sandy waste, dotted here and
there with an oasis where drink may
be secured. The winds are all very
hot and dry, while rain is almost I'M

The ostrich, camel, jackal. horned
viper and numerous lizards are the
principal animals of the region. Sew
eral varieties of hardy birds are also
found. Arabs, Moors, Jews and
negroes jostle each other on the cara

THE COUNTY NURSE

There are a good many so called
experts" travelling around the coun.

hats. fat pigs canned corn, catching
grasshoppers, killing mice, tee, etc,
all of them drawing pay from the tax
payers, all of them doing work wnoSe

and ornamental, that we are apt 10
over look some of these innovations
that are Of rare merit and inestimabIe
value to the community One OF these
most useful experts" is the county
nurse, who duties are most numerous
and varied. and whose usefulness Is
apt to be underestimate because as
human animals we have always gone
along thinking that nature would take
care Of us in some manner. We stud
led pigs and horses and cows and hired
officials to protect their lives from
ticks and lice and microbes and chol- |
era and black leg ard all manner OF !
arnictions, but we assume that human
beings needed no such care or protec-
ton.
The county nurse rs n sort of a
stop-gap between our own ignorance
and the necessity for n doctor. If
every one would work earnestly and
intelligently with the county nurse the
doctors would soon be out Of business
except for surgical cases.
Don't imagine that the county nurse
is to come to your sick room and per-
sonally nurse you or your family dur
ing illness. One nurse would not be
large enough to spread over an entire
county in that way. Her duty is to in ,
spect the chfiren at school and sug- ,
gest TO parents necessary attention TO ,
matters that parents often overlook ,
such as adnoids and bad teeth and {
sore tonsils. She will come at your

TAXES TAKE CASH.

1T is not financial deflation which
has hit the farmer and the cotton
grower and has caused the value of
cost of production" declares Otto H.
Kahn in an address on the subject of
taxation. 1T is not financial defla-
ton which has brought about the eco
monte turmoil that confronts us to-
day. AS a matter of fact, there has
been no financial defiation thus far.
Several causes are responsible for our
present discontinue, but among them
advanced taxation is In the front
rank"
Ill-judged taxation, he said, has
done it's work in helping to kill, for
the time being, the goose that laid the
golden eggs. as the trainers OF that
measure were warned it would. Somr
of its adherents are seeking the cause
for the lamented demise of'the afore-
said goose in financial deflation.
Taxes must be paid In cash. You can
not pay them in materials or mer-
chandise OF bills receivable or book
assets. But while the outgo in taxes
payable to the government is all cash.
the income of most businesses is cash
only ia q limited extent.
Taken together with the action If
various other elements influencing the
situation. continued Mr.. Kahn, our
ways Of taxation led, and were bound
70 lead. to an intolerable strain upon
our financial resources. a scramble for
funds. credit initiation, mounting costs.
and, finally. forced liquidation and a
sudden and violent shrinkage of val
ues. including the products of agri-
culture.
The recent semi panicky collapse
IN the market for securities, he point
ed out, may be ascribed. In consider
able part. to forced offerings by those
in pressing need of cash with which
to pay taxes. AS late as 1918, over
90 per cent OF our total federal reve-
nue. was provided by indirect taxation.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1920-12-23

That was far too large a proportion,
1t was a wise. and just determination
of the people, by the enactment of the
income tax and in other ways to in
CT ease direct taxation.
But we have gone to the opposite
extreme and stepped far beyond the
line Of equity and practical wisdom in
establishing our present tax system
In which indirect taxation produces
barely 20 per cent Of our total reve-
niue.
We cannot hope for a return to
normal conditions of trade. industry.
finance and prices until. among other
things, we retrace the steps rashly
taken partly under the impulse of war
conditions and partly under the in
spiratioh of class animosity and Sec
tienal bias. and re-establish a reason
able proportion between direct and in
direct taxation. No adequate supply
of capital for the country's needs can
become available otherwise.

JUST FOLKS
THE BUSINESS OF LIFE.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

The rain comes down and the wind blows
cold, but the men go trudging by,
For the work of the world goes right along
regardless of sun and sky,
And the business of life must be carried on
regardless of those who die
sit down at the window pane Of life when
the storms begin to blow,
And watch the faces of toilers grim as they
hourly come and go,
They must bear their burdens and face
their tasks in spite Of the rain OF
snow.
The captins pilot their ships at sea and the
stokers stoke their fires,
Tho the waves roll high and the tempest
sings dirge thru the frozen wires.
And think sometimes that the storm king
laughs in giee at the man who tires.
Fit for all weathers man must be, Who
shrinks from the pelting rain
And dreams for ever OF sunny skies. shall
find he has drea med in vain.
For all must trudge thru the storms. OF life
to the goals that they would attain.
So stand you staunch at your post Of ife.
keep faith when your joys have gone.
In spite of the hurt and the waste ard
gloom that you wake to look upon,
In spite of all that the fates may send. the
living must carry on

Labor leaders who, in the NoVem-
Der election, opposed senators who
voted for the anti-strike clause in the
Cummins bill may regard the passage
Of Poindexter's anti-strike bill by the
senate as retaliatory, but of course It
is nothing OF the sort. 1t is designed
like the measure framed by Senator
Cummins. merely to prevent the tying
M of interstate commerce. The sem
ate's action was endorsed in advance
by a large majority of the voters at
the polls. The senators whom the Ia
Dor leaders opposed were returned.
The Poindexter bill does not under
take to prohibit strikes of all kinds but
applies only to employees of railroads
engaged in interstate commerce.
Neither does the bill undertake to
deny to any man his right to quit his
employment for any cause, but the
bill Goes make it unlawful for two or
more men, whether they be employers
or employees, to enter into conspir-
acy to interfere with interstate COM
merce. II the PoindexteF bill shall be-
come a law, any railroad employe will
be free to quit his employment at will
but he will be denied the right to con-
spire with other employees to quit In
such a way as to interfere with the
right of the general public to have
continuity of railroad service.
