ON TAXES
By Bcrton BrGley
DO not love the income tax,
I 4 never am prepared TO pay it.
NJ peace Of mind 1t greatly racks
That / can't dodge 1t or delay it;
ITS always due when am broke.
With screams Of agonyI greet 1t,
* have to put my watch In soak
10 meet it.
Itis the ghosta at every feast,
Y II dulls the edge OF my successes,
sFors when my earnings are increased
The income tax more ftercely presses;
d curse with voice that's like rasp
The cost of running this here nation,
I'm full of rancor and exasp-
efattoni
And yet, when l consider how
This country, on the whole, is fartng,
smooth the wrinkles from my brow,
stop my grumbling and my swearing;
The tax may be too high a charge
But as view the rest OF earth, IT
Appears my country, by and large,
IS worth it!

man for current use is greater than

advanced at country points.
Another factor to be considered is
the reopening Of a number Of con-

time been making butter instead Of
condensing milk.
Immediate imports Of butter will
not be as large as anticipated, as
