PLANS UNDER WAY
TO REPEAL EXCESS
PROFITS TAX

Washington, April S.-Suggestions rs
to the means Of raising the four bill
lion dollars OF revenue necessary for
the conduct of the national govern
ment during the next fiscal year, VIII
be sent to congress early next week,
Secretary Mellon said today. Discus
sion Of sources which may be tapped
by the new tax program will be con-
cluded. probably Saturday by the treas
ury secretary ana his staff OF ad'
yisers
Thus far. it was stated, definite de-
cision has been reached on only one
question, repeal Of the excess profits
tax. Mr.. Mellon has not decided what
form OF levy will supplant II.
1t appeared that no determination
has been reached regarding redemp.
ton OF the so.called floating debt or
short term treasury certificates OF in
debtedness totaling around s2,77O,OOO,-
900 in other than the present fashion
OF re-issuing certificates. This phase
" federal financing as well as the
retirement Of si,10O 100000 in victory
notes, due in two years, is regarded
as being inseparably linked with the
tax program.
Action on the certificate payments
and maturing victory notes may be
left for determination by congress In
connection with the disposition Of the
great wartime debt which 1t has been
proposed to fund into long term bonds.
Former Secretary Houston had plan
ned TO merge the victory notes into
floating debt to be retired as are
the certificates Of Indebtedness, but
sentiment in congress for n funding
Of the entire outstanding debt may
bring a change in that arrangement.

OWN YOUR HOME.

Working in the interests of the gem
enerl community. working in an un-
selfish effort TO aid in the accomplish
ment of the greatest good for the great
est number Of people, the newspapers
all over the country have been, during
the past several months, devoting con
siderable editorial space to urging the
people OF the different communities
throughout the country to "own your
own home"
The dailies in the larger cities and
the weeklies in the smaller communi'
ties have joined in this matter, until
there now seems to be 4 nationwide
and well directed campaign being con-
Quoted in the home-ownership line.
We have had the good fortune to
read many able editorials upon this
subject, editorials penned by some of
the best writer's upon some OF the
best newspapers. But one of the
strongest appeals for home-ownership
we have read is contained in an advcr-
tsement carried in q small town week
ly by local lumber dealer
This dealer is located in a small
place not n hundred miles from Ard
more. The entire population of the
town, were q census taken tomorrow,
would fall below one thousand inhabi-
tants. The population Of the trade
territory contributory to that town
must be comparatively small, yet the
lumber dealer, wide-awake man, real
izing that he can do good devotes
few of his dollars TO space to be used
in the small town paper" for the gen.
eral good.
In urging home-ownership upon his
neighbors, this man says, in part;
"The home feeling is an asset of the
highest value, for it pays richly in
sense of self respect, of more respoh-
sible citizenship, of moral poise as
member of the community, besides CIV
ing profound personal satisfaction and
enriching the spiritual values that
arise out of family ties and affections
Taken all in all, you can make no other
investment that is so rich in returns,
both sentimental and practical, as ID
having your own nome"

WATCH FOR OLD MAN
FROST WHEN SETTING
OUT TOMATO PLANTS

(FTth 6dy of Backyard GGrdening)
Not once in all the writer's gar
dening experience has he made a
plot and not allowed an especially
large amount of space far radishes.
Radishes are quick to grow, taking
from 3 to weeks, and they can be
planted continuously, a new crop
being sown Immediately after an
other has been used up. Commence
sowing about the middle of next
month. Plant thickly and thin out
the sprouts.
Lima beans are those things you
have to train on long poles once
they start growing. Because they
do twine and spread out you must
allow about 3 feet of space between
rows. Set out the seeds about the
first OF May. Plant them in place
where the sun will strike the sprouts
all through the day.
Wax bean plants grow closer to
the ground than lima beans, and
are more OF bush. Only about
foot of space need be allowed be-
tween rows. They may be planted
about the same time lima beans are.
Be careful not to run into frost
when setting out tomato plants.
Generally the middle or last OF May
is g safe time, but never put them
out when the weather is doubtful.
TIE first day out the tomato plant
should be covered with a large cone
made from newspaper sheet, with
ventilation hole in the top. This
wards off the heat OF the sun which
might otherwise wilt the sprout
Keep the sets we'll watered. 1t is
a good idea to cover them with the
newspaper cones at night, too, till
they have taken a good hold in the
garden.
The ground around all your
plants should be kept we'll broken.
About once a week use your hoe
and trowel in loosening up the earth
at the base OF each stalk. Be care
full not to dig into the stem or roots
OF the plant.

"PLL STICK UP FOR
THE NEWSlES," HE SAYS

Irving Slown is seventeen and a
newsboy with corner" at Broad
way and Thirty-fourth streets, New
York City. One day recently some
one had him taken before Magis-
trate McQuade of New York, and
charged him with making an un-
usual and improper noise, to the
inconvenience of the pedestrians"
passing his stand.
ITS perfectly ridiculous to bring
up cases like this" said the Magis-
trate after he had listened to the
testimony. "And furthermore, a
newspaper boy with his cries of
extra is public benefit instead OF
a nuisance" Is there a newsboy
amongst US who doesn't agree?
