TAX KICKERS, HOW
DO YOU LIKE THIS?
BY CARL ID. GROAT

CUnited Press Staff Correspondent)
BERLIN-If one lives in Germany,
he is taxed; II he dies, he is like
wise taxed At least. the city OF
Frankfurt am Main has hit upon the
novel idea Of charging a tax upon
burials. II one drinks mineral wa
ter, he is taxed and IL he drinks
schnapps he is taxed more.
If one plays a piano at home, there
is another tax; and II one wants to
hear music in a theatre. there is
still another tax. The tax on ZEN
joyment' has had the effect OF clos
ing more than 100 movie houses here
in the past few months, and has
driven every circu- out OF Germany,
either to England, France or Hol-
land.
The latest wrinkle in taxes is re-
ported from Saxony, where a head
tax is placed upon pigeons, geese
and cats The tax on geese has
caused much objection, for it has
struck at the very heart-or rather
stomach-of Germany, since roast
goose is the Thanksgiving turkey OF
the Teuton.
Beer. likewise a great national in
stitudon. is heavily laden, and the
authorities are planning to tax, as
well, vinegar. oxygen, coal, wood
and advertising posters.
Income taxes will run very heavy.
The Saxon premier. for instance, has
a yearly income of 76.5O0 marks
less than $1,000 at the present ex-
change-and must pay more than a
fourth thereof at once in income
taxes.

CEMETERY FENCE
CAUSE OF TRIAL
Taylor, Negro, Accused of
Damaging Property of
Pencader Church
CHARGE MADE
UNDER OLD STATUTE

Under a law that has been on the
statute books for many years. but
which has but seldom been used. as
Deputy Attorney General Finger told
the jury, John w. Taylor, Negro. OF
Pencader hundred. was placed on
trial before Judge Richards and a
jury, in Court Of General Sessions
this morning, on a charge OF remov-
ing a fence and destroying shrub
berry Of the cemetery of Union Amer
lean Methodist Episcopal Church,
which adjoins his property.
1t Is charged that Taylor cut down
the wire fence of the graveyard and
cut down a cedar tree in order to
make way for roadway from his
property to the road. 1t was testi-
fed that he drove his wagon over
shrubbery and graves.
The Rev b. T. Ruley, Negro.
bishop Of the Dlaware diocese of
the A. NJ. f. Church, and former
pastor Of the Pencader hundred
church, testified that the church has
owned the cemetery property for 40
years, 10 his knowledge.
He testified to the cutting down Of
the fence, a tree and shrubbery and
the driving OF wagons through the
graveyard over graves. He was un-
able to say, however, who caused the
damage.
Mary Smith, Negress, who lives a
short distance from the church, tes-
tilted that she saw the defendant and
his brother, Alfred, tear down the
fence last spring. other witnesses
gave similar testimony.
Thomas Davis. who is attorney for
the church testified to the wagon
marks over graves at the edge Of the
cemetery near the removed fence.
The defense was that Taylor did
no damage to the church property,
that he did not drive over the ceme-
I terry property or graves. A small
srace, Il was contended, exists be-
tween the cemetery and the Taylor
property. and that 1t was on tnis
space that the fence was erected.
Fred S. Price. civil engineer. testi-
flying for the defense told of making
surveys Of the properties involved
lie said that the fence that was torn
down was a short distance beyond
the true boundary Of the graveyard.
Julian C. Walker was attorney for
/ Taylor, and Deputy Attorney General
| Finger prosecuted the case.
The trial was still in progress
when court recessed.

FIGHT CROP PESTS
WITH POISON GAS

WASHINGTON. oct. United
Press) The Chemical Warfare
Service. which devised deadly gases
for destroying men during the war
is working to produce poisons that
will rid the country of the boil
weevil and other pests.
"The developments OF war must
be the implements Of peace" Brig
adier-General Amos A. Fries, chief
Of chemical warfare of the army,
said in announcing the coming cam
paign.
Successful chemical drives against
rodents in Cuba recently predict
equal success for determination by
the same means of the boil weevil
and other agencies which are seri-
ously damaging the crops OF the
country.
War against all manner OF de-
structive pests will be undertaken by
the War Department OF which the
boil weevil is perhaps the most dan
gerous to agriculture, while the ro-
dent is probably the greatest menace
in the cities.
At present the army is working
on request from Representative
Philip d. Swing, of Imperial Valley.
California, who hopes to use poison
gns to exterminate the blackbird
pest in that community. He was told
that the Chemical Warfare Service
could make a poison that would kill
some of the birds and drive off the
others. but that the farmers would
have to content themselves with
using the crops for food and fodder
alone. as the chemicals would de-
stroy the re-seeding value OF the fruit

The fact that $4,000 bottles Of Tan.
lac have been sold in the state OF New
York since its introduction there less
than one year ago, is a big business
item that will attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for
nothing like it has ever happened be-
fore. 1t breaks all records.
Mr.. George b. Evans, manager Of
the G~ibson-Snow Company, the we'll
known wholesale druggists, with
branches in Albany, Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Syracuse, recently announced
that the preparation was now selling
In their trade territories alone az the
phenomenal rate Of approximately 50O,-
600 bottles q year.

Mr.. Evans, this state alone will prob
ably require considerably we 10000

figure, but l am really conservative In

Of $3.50. Then the father, who was
seeking some justification, said: I'D

he was a young man." Several men
were present but no one made reply.

Prepared by the United states Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The best seed of beans and peas is
to be obtained by marking a few of
the finest plants with Il bit Of cloth
ut the beginning Of the harvesting
season and allowing the crop of these
plants To ripen completely, say eX-
pertS Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In making such selections 1t is best
to choose plants alike in varietal char
acter and earlinesS. When ripenCd
until dry, pull these plants in the
early morning, in order To avoid shat
tering, and hang or spread them in
an airy, dry place until the seed is
quite hard. Then shell the seed,
spread it out not over two or three
grains deep, and when thoroughly dry,
store it for the winter in bags Of
coarse open-meShed fabric hung in a
cool, dry place.
Pods which for any reason have
been overlooked when picking beans
or peas for the table should be saved,
since they can be Shclled for seed,
though inferior to the selected stock
described above. In saving seed from
emnan crops of this kind it is well
TO discard all pods containing only one
or two seeds, as these may have come
from plants with a tendency TO pro
duce poorly filed pods.
Some very destructive bean dis
eases, Including pOd-SpOt, are carried
in the seed; SO ii is extremely i'm
that no seed should he saved from dis
eased plants when saving beans for
seed. Never save seed from pods
which are not bright and clean.
