Total Eclipse of Moon April q

A total lunar eclipse will be
visible throughout the United
States the night of April q. The
moon then will be north of the
center of the earth's shadow, but
nevertheless near enough to it to
become completely immersed.
At 11:57 o'clock in the evening
the moon first touches the penum
bra, but it will not be until well
after midnight that the darken-
ing becomes conspicuous. Three
minutes after | o'clock in the
morning of April y, the edge Of
the true shadow will be reached
and more and more of the moon
will be hidden until 2.23 o'clock
it will be completely obscured
except for the faint reddish light
refracted through the earth's at
mosphere. Totally will last only
~ minutes and the moon will be
entirely clear of the shadows at
4 20 O'Clock though it does not
leave the penumbra until 5:22
o'clock.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. A|en suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseIess study. that no one can be fres
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits. were dissolved in the joints
nd muscles and expelled from the
lody.
With this idea in mind, he consulted
shvsicians. Made experiments and final
iy compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to 9th
ars who took it, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywher know about his discovery
through the newspapers. All druggists
have been appointed agents for Allen
rub in this vicinity with the understand
ing that he will freely return the plir-
chase price on the first two bottles to
all who state they received no benefit.

Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mines-Big Saving

The high cost of coal is a thing of
the past At least, there are no
complaints on this account-since
the removal of government restric
tiOnS-among those who have learn
ed how to buy coal. The way to buy
coal is to set it direct from the
mines. This saves several middle
mems profits. 1t saves hauling eX-
penses. Any one can now buy coal
at mine prices, whether u carload
buyer or one who uses only ten or
fifteen tons a year. This has been
made possible through plan evolv-
ed by a large and old eSta bIished
concern, THE BGRNICE COAL COM
PANY, with main offices at 491 Co
mo Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of
customers in various sections Of the
United States who receive all of
their coal direct from the mines.
These customers are pleased not on
~ because of the many dollars they
save every year, but also because OF
the quality Of coal they are getting.
Many write that they never before
had coal that makes so little dust,
that burns so well, leaving so few
ashes. If you are a coal user
whether you use hard or soft coal,
much or little--it will be greatly TO
your advantage to write the Bernice
Coal Co. at once for prices. stating
kind and quantity of coal you use.

MILLI0NAIRES PAY A
FORTUNE IN TAXES

New York, April Ibid you
know that q men in the United
States confessed to me collector
of internal revenue, Big Bill
Edwards, that their net personal
incomes last year were i'll excess
of three million dollars?
Did you know that John D.
Rockefeller not only had per
sonal income of sixty million dol
lars, but drew a check for $685.
100000 and mailed it to the gov
eminent as his income tax con-
tribution
Some amazing figures, running
close to the billion dollar mark,
are made public by Edwards
through official reports now in
the hands of the commissioner Of
internal revenue at Washington.
Twenty-eight gentlemen adj
mitted, it seems, having incomes
during 1920 of 100000 up,
while Is others said languidly
they received between a million
and half and two millions.
The late H. c. Prick had SILL
$4,000 income and out Of it the
government got %,16G,000.
Two other men frolicked about
with seven million and a half
and each paid the government
$4,800,000. They were George F,
Baker and VIM. Rockefeller.
Edward S. Hardness and J,
Ogden Armour were taxed to the
tune of $6,250,000. They paid the
government fiat four million
each while Henry Ford and w.
K. Vanderbilt as we'll as Edward
H. r. Green, having each five
million dollars on their hands
during the year, disposed S.
100000 of it by sending it to the
government in the form of a Ger
tilted check.
These figures appear as per-
sonal incomes and do not, Of
course, represent the staggering
principals that yield so golden a
flow.
If. for example, -Rockefel1er's
net income was sixty million dol
lars and this sum represented
only 6 per cent interest on the
principal. the principal itself
must have been one billion dol
lars.
In like fashion, Frick must
have had a capital Of $l87, 100000
to return him $11,250,000 in in
terest.
The records announce that q
Of the richest taxpayers are scat
tered.
About IA came from New York
two from Delaware, one from
Michigan, one from Ohio, two
from Rhode Island, two from
Texas and five from Massachu-
sets.
/ VincentAstor's income amount
ed to $3,750,OO0 during 1920, and
he paid a tax of $2,400,000.
James A. Stillman, president o.
the National City Bank, as wei
as Thos. F. Ryan, Daniel Gug-
genheim, Charles NJ. Schwab
i J. P. Morgan and Joseph Weide-
ner had an estimated income o.
! $3,600,O00 and paid approximate,
! ly $2,400,000 as an income tax.

government?
Mr.. KENYON. | think so. | think
for some years the islands have not been
selt-sdstalning, due largely to the same
causes that am trying to remedy by the
amendment which | have proposed.
MIR. KING. 1t seems to me that the
amount Of $40, 600 plus the local taxes
is too much money. The Senator will
recall that when the Territories were
receiving appropriations from the FEEDER
al Government they did not receive.
respectively. nearly that amount, and
yet they had populations of from $4,000
to zoo, 900, 300, 600, and 400, 900. The
Senator has visited the islands, and may
| inquire whether, in his opinion, the
amount which Congress is called upon to
appr pirate is excessive.
Mr.. KENYON No; | think not; |
believe that we have done our duty by
them. The possibilities in the islands
are marvellous; but they need a new water
system; they need a dredging of the
harb5r at Christiansted. They have estab-
lished a new junior high school since the
commission visited them, but they need
money for a number Of purposes. It is
a land we acquired and a land we forgot.
A fair system Of taxation will reduce the
amount the Government is compelled to
pay, but | do not believe that it will en-
tirely eliminate it. There must be many
things done in the Virgin Islands in the
next few years.
Mr.. King. Let me inquire of the Sen
ator, In view OF his amendment, whether
there is any spirit manifested by the
people to become citizens Of the United
States?
Mr.. KENYON. On yes, think

Gentlemen: we would like you serious
ly to consider an idea which perhaps has
not presented itself to your minds as yet
but is nevertheless a strong hint of what
could at any time resolve itself into a
grave and stubborn reality. Suppose
we were to be brought like as we were a
few weeks ago to face a very severe
speIAOf drought so that our cisterns ran
nearly dry, or very low, and a fire should
break out in our. Town. There could be
no thought as to whether or not we
should spare the drinking water Or com
bat the fire, we W)uld be compelled 10
fight the foe with the surest means; but
after the perhaps successful overcoming
of the fire, where might we be for drink
ing water? 1t should be remembered
that We are not more immune from
such catastrophe than our brethren. but
we are without resource, that can be
counted on,
Gentlemen: You may shrug your
shoulders at a Concrete Road Bill',

Man you cannot, ought not, and must
