TWO TRAVELLERS CAME BACK
According to Army Captain, Mules Re-
turned From That Dim and
Undiscovered Shore.

The regimental morning report is a
fearsome document. On it appear all
the changes in status of men and ami
mails for each preceding p hours. It
happened in an Ohio regiment once
that two mules fell i'll one night The
veterinarian gave his verdict of hope
less. and the captain of the SUPPLY
company accordingly made the proper
entry on the morning report: Two
mules, from duty 10 dead"
But under the care Of the grizzled
Old stable sergeant the mules recOv-
cred and next morning the captain
found them alive and kicking Now,
entries made on the morning report
can never be erased, which made the
situation embarrassing for the cap
tain. However, he was a man Of re-
source, and the next days report car
ried the startling entry: Two mules,
from dead to duty"

Shrub May Prove vaIuabIe.

Two years before the war, as the
story is told, two German chemists
applied for permission to experiment
with the plant life on a great semi-arid
ranch in central Mexico Their re-
quest was granted, with the under
standing that they furnish a complete
report of their findings. The two
chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly
on a squat, odOrous shrub called ''go-
bernadora," long reputed to possess
medicinal properties. Suddenly they
disappeared; what they had discover
ed was never known. Now, after ex-
periments with this same desert
shrub which they have found in drier
parts Of New Mexico, chemists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe that they have discovered
another alkaloid to add to the list
which already includes morphine,
quinine and cocaine. It's chemical and
pharmaceutical properties are now un-

HIS GRANDFATHER

Century Birthday
Anniversary.

II. M. Carey of this city has a clip
ping from Nebraska paper telling of

first of the week, for Upland, Neb., to
assist their father and grandfather,
Nathan Carey, in celebrating his one
hundredth birthday anniversary.
Grandfather Carey was resident Of
Walnut many years before his remov-
ing to the west. The celebration of
ones one hundredth birthday annsver-
sary is very unusual event in this
day of fast living. and his many
friends in Walnut and this community
unite in hearty congratulations on his
ronding out the century mark, and

Djo Out the White Coal.

Des Moines Capital: The Niagara
Falls Gazette announces that an ex-
tension of the Niagara Falls power
plant will add 100000 horsepower
and will save the burning of 100000
tons of coal. This is surely an I'M
portant saving, and the enterprising
men of Niagara Falls are to be con-
graduated.
This circumstance suggests that
there is sufficient water power going
to waste in Iowa to turn every Wheei
of every mill and factory; every cleo
trio light plant; and operate all the
water supply pumps which the cities
of the state need. The water power
is almost entirely unused. Some
people have been afraid that there
was a conspiracy to get hold OF all
the unused water powers everywhere
and to convert them into monopoly
But there is no evidence in Iowa to
prove that anybody is trying to get
hold Of the water power on our
streams, 1t is time enough to get
scared when the octopus shows itself.
Unused water power in Iowa would
he a great investment, if handled by
companies. Water power
has been called white coal, and as
far as Iowa is concerned we say
Dig out the white coal and put II 10
work"

Will show also, the locations of all
buildings and roads. The farmers
IN the area to be served by the Apple
ton Fire department are now construc-
ting reservoirs which will insure an
adequate water supply in case Of fire.
Farmers VIII Get Immediate Benefits.
From a business point OF view it IL
to the intereset of the insurance I'M
derwriters to foster the good roads
movement. More good roads will
cause more communities to arrange
Tor rural fire protection, thereby de-
creasing the fire risk in such communi-
ties.
Besides the feeling of security
which the farmer has whose house and
farm are protected by such a system
OF rural fire protection. it is newt
able that his insurance rates will be
decreased. When the number of com.
munities having good roads has in.
creased. and rural fire protection has
demonstrated it's effectiveness, the
farmer may look for substantial re-
duction in his fire insurance rate, and
he can add one more item to the al
ready lengthy list Of direct money saw
ing benefits he is enjoying because of
good roads. In the rural mutuals.
when rates move up and down directly
with the fire loss, the lower cost of
insurance will be Immediately appar-
ent. ....
The relation between good roads
and rural fire protection will bear
consideration by every rural commun-
ity which is so situated as to make
such service possible The clang Of
the fire bell and the purr of the power
full motor as it speeds the modern fire
fighting apparatus manned with ex-
perienced fire-fghters over the smoth,
paved country highway will be one
more reason which will make the
farmer say to himself with a feeling
of satisfaction, Good Roads Pay"

Neutrality-suspicious.
Fought Well.

ST. Peters and Methodists were
victors in the mems church league

The st. Peters team had an easy
win from the Baptists, 800, In the
early part Of the game the Baptists
put in an inexperienced pitcher and
the st. Peters hitters put the ball
back against the back wall Of the
gym" in rapid succession. The score
was extremely one-sided until Rogers
went into the box for the Baptists,
and then they held their opponents to
two runs.
Tho Methodists won hard fought
game from the Congregational, IA
to 49, The score was tied at the end
of the sixth when time was called,
and an extra inning was played, in
which the Methodists put across the
winning run with two men out This

keokuk Post Thinks This Much fer
Every Month Served Between
April, 1917 and Armistice
is Equitable.
RESOLUTION IS PASSED
II Flat Bonus Is Given Regardless Of
Time Served Adjusted One Should
be Made Now, Legion
Members Say.

A bonus of fifty dollars per month
for every month of service between
April 6, 1917, and November II, 1918
for every person serving in the mill
tary service OF the United States
and who has been honorably dis
charged, is asked by Keokuk post No
Al, the American Legion, in a reso
luton passed at the special meeting
held last night.
The legion members feel that ad.
justed compensation is fairer than a
dat bonus. This is based on the
number of months OF service, and
the men who served the longest
would get the biggest bonus. Every
man discharged received sixty dol
lars bonus irrespective of his length
Of service. This the Legion feels Is
unfair as the drain on financial re-
sources of those who served eighteen
months was much greater than those
who served but short period"
The participation of America in the
war brought it to a close a year
earlier than anyone expected, thus
saving much money. it is commended
and this is another reason why
money should be available for
bonuses. Another reason advanced
that many Of the men are finan-
nally embarrassed as result Of the
acritice of their business interests,
nd it is believed that a bonus that
would compensate them would help
materially to adjust the situation and
be generally beneficial to the coun.
Try
1t was suggested at the meeting
last night that hot of men went into
the ship yards at high wages, lived
comfortably and suffered no hard
ships at all, and if they were paid
Ten and twelve dollars a day, the
soldier who tramped through French
mud and lived in COW stables and
hog pens on bully beef for thirty dol
lars a month was entitled to some
bonus for such hardships.
copies of the resolution will be
sent to the Iowa delegation in con-
gress, Governor Harding and to the

TWO MORE YEARS
INCOME TAXES
Secretary of Treasury Houston Says it
viii be 1922 Before Any Reduc-
ton Can be Made in
System. -.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Mar. 17.-Federal
income taxes cannot be reduced until
after 1922, Secretary OF the Treasury
houston today informed the house
ways and means committee.
he declared, however, that revision
of several of the present federal taxes
should be made and revenues adjusted
to make up for the loss the govern.
ment will sustain as result of the
supreme court decision that dividends
paid in stock are non-taxable.
Excess profits taxes also cannot be
reduced until 1922, the secretary wrote
the committee. e..
The greatest need, Houston said, Is
a simplifcation of the income and
profits taxes. ai,igc ?. ...
!, Public opinion has not yet awaken
ed to the gravity of the consequences
which are likely to follow failure to
simplify the tux law at this legisla-
tive session." the secretary wrote.
To make UP for the loss in revenue,
knocking out stock dividends, Houston
recommended tax on the undistribut-
ed profits of all corporations after
January /, 1921.
Houston proposed that the present
excess profits which are graduated
from twenty to forty per cent be
changed and a flat tax on profits in
excess of the distributed earnings sub
stituted. He suggested that the rate
of this fiat tax be twenty-five per cent
for 1921; twenty per cent for 1922, and
fifteen per cent for 1928, and stated it
would raise virtually as much as the
present excess profits taxes. 1t would
be impracticsble to make this new
tax retroactive, Houston said.
