easy. There are few tools that 1t is

the garden deeply so that the soil will

OF the most important points to re-
member in seed sowing is to sow
thinly. Good seeds to be sown In

sown in straight lines especially

and do not bury the seed too deep.

STATE INCOME TAX
BEING CONSIDERED

Austin, Texas, June 30.-A per-
sonal income tax, patterned after
the Federal income tax law, was
suggested TO Governor Nef today as
one means Of increasing the revenues
Of the State. This suggestion was
made az the morning conference with
business men called by the Governor
for each day this week TO see II some
plan could not be had which would
not disturb business, and at the same
time produce more money for the
State, the figures showing that the
total appropriations are to exceed
the revenues by between S4,000,000
or 100000. The State income
tax was suggested by Thomas b.
Love Of Dallas, former assistant
Secretary Of the Federal Treasury,
who was present today.
II was further proposed to i'm
pose gross production tax on COM
modities which are not now paying
il, such as lumber, sulphur, coal and
Ignite. Some Ignite producers in
dicated they would accept a tax Of
f-2c per ton. A tax OF lc per gal
Ion on gasoline likewise was sug-
gested, as was the possibility Of in
creasing the gross production on
crude oil, which is now 1-2 per
cent. The last legislature had bill
before il to make the tax per cent
and amendments had been prepared
TO fix il at lie, &c and | 2-3c, while
many were opposed 20 increasing il
in any amount.

Percas in eommemoration of the crea-
ton Of man and as a monument to
their sacred animal, the coyote. After
much maneuvering the coyote finally
secured a grip on the dragon just
behind the left shoulder. Because of
its conformation, the dragon could not
turn It's head to reach the coyote in
this position and the little animal
gnawed its way through the side of
the monster and tore out It's neart.

heart was sprinkled on the sands of

DIRT HIGHWAYS ARE EASIEST
Unpaved Country Roads Cause Least
Wear on Tires, While Stag Is
Most Destructive.

Inc much lnaiigned dirt road finds
champion in a Denver tire manufac-
turer, who asserts that exhaustive
tests show that the unpaved country
road causes the least tire wear. But
the road must be in good condition,
with no ruts to wear against the side
walls &C the tire When properly
dragged, the unpaved country road is
found to generate less heat in the tire
than any other type of road.
Stag roads were found to be most
destructive to tires, the sharp points
soon pitting the tread with my holes.
With the test cars wheels fraction
of an inch out of alignment, the tires
looked as If their tread had been sand
papered after only a few hours travel.
Asphalt pavement was found to de.
yelop much heat, but little external
wear. Macadam roads in good condi-
ton were found to be better than Stag.

Phipps on the Maternity Bill


Senator Phipps Of Colorado does
not hesitate to declare against the
so-called Sheppard Towner maternity
bill and other such legislation classed
as paternalistic. The senior senator's
objection to the legislation is voiced
In a reply he made to night letter
received from Mrs. Adrianna Hunger

Mrs. Huagerford had wired that such
legislation would help to put our
country on par with others in this
respect" He said:

tie Importance But With the devel-
opment of modern farming methods
and the increasing emphasis upon the
need for better farm buildings the
hog came in for a share of the atten-
ton. Today the hog house is one Of
the important buildings in the farm
group.
In the construction of this building,
sunshine is by far the most important
factor. Sunshine to the hog is better
than any manufactured tonic that was
ever devised. He thriyes on it, gains
in weight, and brings home the "ba-

sible into the hog house special win
dows are Installed. They are ar
ranged in such a way as to permit the
sun at any time Of the day to pene-
Ftrate to every corner Of the build
ing.
AS an excellent example of how far
this construction is carried into prac-
tice, consider the hog house shown
here. Practically the entire front Of
this structure is wall Of glass. It
is saw tooth In shape and the front
wall of the saw tooth addition is made
up Of double hung windows. Below in
the main part of the hog house are
smaller single windows and opening
on level with the ground is series
of doors. Through these windows and
doors the house is assured of con-
slant and liberal supply Of fresh air
and an abundance Of real sunshine.
In construction this hog hoase is
frame set on concrete foundation.

has eighteen hog pens. A feed room
