TAXATION HITS HOME BUILDING

An ftemized statement showing
the apparently reasonable cost at
which homes may be built in the
middle west at the present time was
submitted by delegate to the
Southwest Lumbermen's Association
in Kansas City.
Dut lower costs wont help great
ly unless people can get the neces-
sary funds. Just now these funds
aren't available because of the tax
system. Investors can avoid the
income tax and the personal property
tax which would follow investment
in mortgage loans by putting their
money in tax free securities
This situation, so far as the in
come tax is concerned. can be help
ed by revision of the federal tax
alton system so as not to levy pro-
hibitive amount on incomes. The
state can help by subjecting mort
cages simply to a moderate record
ing tax. If these two improvements
in taxation can be brought about
they viii make 1t possible for the
public to take advantage of the
building situation.

MUCH LIKE A FLOATING FIELD
sargasso Sea, With lts Wondrous
Vegetation, Has the Appearance
Of a Prairie.

In nearing the SargassO sea 1t pre-
sents the appearance Of vast, undu-
lating prairie, clothed in bright yellow
vegetation. On coming on deck one
might imagine oneself and ship set
down In the midst of a field. As far
as the eye can reach Is the yellow
weed to be seen, In masses more or
less compact, according to whether the
winds are light or strong; sometimes
In lines many miles in length and but
20 feet wide with intervals Of clear
water between; sometimes in dense
circular patches like floating islands.
In this moving continent life runs
high. Myriads Of tiny crabs, some
Of them no larger than peas, cluster
about the tangled fronds. Weird-look-
ing little shrlmps with wondrous eyes
on long stems, each facet shedding
brilliant greenish light, sparkling like
a cut gem. Water fleas in hundred
varieties, cOlors and shapes. Little
wormlike annelids, black with bril-
liant orange stripes, lead an active
life here, wiggling among the leathery
leaves. Lovely corralines infest the
branches, plumed feathers with myrI-
ads Of polyps.
1t is the ideal breeding place of all
manner of marine life for the heat Of
the sun is very great, so great, in
deed, that in the MONDAY glare the
fish sink several feet to the cooler wa
terS below the algae.

The week ending on Aug. 20,
from a weather standpoint, was
about as ideal as could ever be had
during August. Having had two
rains the previous week, which kept
the ground wet for the entire week,
we were blessed with another good
rain on Sunday, again on Tuesday
and another shower 2r Saturday
night. Consequently, the ground
was wet for the entire week. No
dust, plenty of moisture for crops
and, with the exception of Friday
and Saturday, cool weather. Under
these conditions crops made unus-
ual growth. Corn, beans, peas, sor-
ghum, Japan, cotton, tobacco and
other crops, with few exceptions,
are pleasing to the farmer. Friday
being dry enough for cultivation,
farmers were seen cultivating to-
bacco, late corn, late Irish potatoes,
cutting weeds in pastures, cutting
fence rows, ditch banks, seeding
summer clover and building terraces
and working roads.
