great work Of organizing Christian
workers among women and girls, both
in her native land and in America.
She is entirely capable of conduct
ing an evangelistic meeting alone,
and has done so on many occasions
Her great work is praised wherever
she has been from press and platform,
and while this is an innovation for
Cookeville, it is believed that her
work here will prove equally as sue
cessful as at other and larger towns
where she has been engaged. DR.. w.
G. Walker, Minister, of Altoona, Pa,
says of her:
Besides her work as specialist
among women, Miss Palmer filled the
eyangelists place for two weeks
while he was sick, holding night af-
ter might audiences of seven to nine
thousand. She is capable of gracing
any platform. She always gives a
great message, most compelling in
its logic, and drives home to the heart
the truths of Gods word"

his evangelistic work has been done
in the West, where it. is said that he
has done a wonderful work. He is
called the sane" evengelist and 10
considered by those who have heard
him and who know, as one of the
leaders in his line.

Washington, d. c.. Aug. S.-iWith
President Harding on a vacation after
five months of strenuous horseback
riding in the morning, golf in the af-
ternoon and week-ends on the May
flower and Laddie Boy, in temporary
eclipse. Uncle Joe" Fordney, chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House, is furnishing the
principal summer diversion in the
Capital making a tax revision bill
Out of a truly wonderful bag Of
tricks Chairman Fordney has just
produced one SO unique and ingenu-
Gus as to arouse the envy of other
Republican statesmen engaged in the
diverting act described by Congress
man Mann (Rep., Ill.) as "fooling the
people"
Chairman Fordney. in other words
proposes to reduce internal taxes,
although by reduction they would not
furnish enough revenue to meet es-
timated Government expenditures,
thus creating deficit which could be
tided over, he says, by temporary
loans, and be taken care Of next year.
He thinks, too, that this would pre-
vent demands for funds from the de-
partments and hold Congress down
in appropriations.
In other words, to make show Of
economy now he would postpone for
a year the collection of the revenue
he knows is needed, pihng up an in
debtedness and borrowing money to
pay 1t.
It may be inferred of course, that
this will fool a lot of people.
More Taxes For The Average Man
1t would be idle to discuss the Tax
Revision bill at this time beyond the
general trend of effort to shift some
of the taxes from the very rich to the
shoulders OF sothers' because the Tax
Revision bill will not be reported be-
fore the last week in August or the
first of September. based on state
ments of its trainers.
At this writing 1t seems highly prob
able that the promise OF tax reduc-
tion made so freely by Mr.. Harding
and other Republican spokesmen in
the last campaign will apply only to
persons whose incomes are in the
millions or whose profits are so much
in excess of normal as to be mono
plastic Other probabilities are an
automobile fiat tax of ten dollars,
three-cent letter postage and heavily
increased taxes on tobacco. The
one certainty of the bill is that the
average man will pay more and the
favored few will pay less.

CoOKEylLE BUILDING co.

A we'll attended meeting of the
stockholders of the Cookeville Build
ing Company was held in the Herald
Offices on Tuesday evening for the
purpose of determining the future
policies of this corporati regard
ing the erection Of more residences
in Cookeville to accommodate the ex-
service men and their families. who
are being sent here by the govern
ment to enter the Rehabilitation
school.
The meeting was presided over by
the chairman Of the Beard Of Direc-
tors, Jere Whitson, and all the direc-
tors were present and the meeting
was a most harmonious one, for It
was the unanimous opinion Of each
stockholder that arrangements should
be made at once for the erection Of
is houses. Additional stock was
taken by majority OF those present
and the board Of directors we're a.
rected to make arrangements for A.
the proposition, which cam
be done very easily 1t is thought.
about half a dozen OF the men pres
ent stated that they were preparing
to build one or more houses as an
investment, so the pros
pect for Is new houses in Cookevilie
by October 18th is highly probable,
in fact they are practically asslred
by the Building committee before
winter.
