President Hopes to Cut Six
Millions From Measures
Suggested By Secre-

READY ON TUESDAY
LEADERS THINK MEASURE

Washington, Aug 1O.-President
Harding, having intervened to straight
ten out tax revision differences be-
tween leaders of the house Of repre-
scntatiyes and treasury officers, ways
and means committee republicans, set
to work today to draft a revenue bill
to yield $3,O75 900 900 or approximate
ly $500, 100000 less than had been sug-
gested by Secretary Mellon.
This total was agreed upon last eve
ming at White House conference at

Speaker Gllett, Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming. the republican lead

nent house republicans,

s520,O0000O from estimated expendi-
lures for this fiscal year, leaving the
total at S4,034 900 900 as against the
treasury's estimate Of s4.O54 900 900.
This would be accomplished. it was
explained BY somewhat drastic slashes
in estimates for the war, navy and ag-
liculture departments. the shipping
board and railroads and the refund
ing Of $4,000, 600 of disbursements,
on account Of the public debt.
Chairman Fordney said his commit
tee would probably have the bill ready
for consideration at a conference Of

probably could be passed by the
house by August 90, permitting con-
gress to recess on that date for a
month.

Second, because the success of the
agricultural, industrial, economic and
social life of our state depends
largely upon transportation-ra
roads and state highways.
"Third, the introduction of the au-
tomobile and the motor truck has
rapidly changed the character Of
travel. State highways are absolute
ly necessary to meet these changed
conditions.
"Fourth, state highways will mean

WESTERN FOREST FIRE
SEASON OPENS FAVORABLY
Relief Felt by Forest Service Officials
Because of Small Funds Avail
able for Fighting Fires-Splendid
Service observation-disclosures Pub
lie to be Careful.

Frequent rains have been boon to
the western forests this spring, and
the GERS of the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, express themselves as great
~ relieved at escaping a danger which
has been keeping them on the anxious
seat.
The danger was that if the summer
hrc season came on as usual their
control on the National Forests would
be impossible with the funds available
beforc July l, when Il new fiscal year
begins. The appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year was heavily drawn up
on to fight fires last summer and fall, =,
and though a deficiency appropriation
was obtained from Congress which
partly replenished the fund, the
amount available this spring for pro-
tecting the National Forests has been
less than the average expenditures
necessary during the same period in
recent years. Hence the relief that
frequent rains have kepts the forests
too damp to permit dangerous condi-
tons to become general.
Public Is Becoming Interested
But the Government foresters do
not consider that this is entirely due
to favorable weather and timely rains.
The public is becoming interested in
forest preservation, and the oft-re-
peated story Of the destruction caus-
cd by human carelessnes sis beginning
to make its impression. The United
States leads all nations in forest fires.
With over 80 900 fires per year, de-
stoying nearly $20,OOO,OO0 worth Of
timber and property, this country has
the world outclassed.
There have only been four large
fires SO far this year in the lat ma
tlonal forests scattered throughout the
c0untry-one in Minnesota, one in
Florida, and the other in Arizona, one
OF which started in Mexico and swept
1,S across the international boundary.
This is an exceptional record and
means much to the Forest Service.

The great corn belt, with it's enor-
nous production and surplus above To-
cal consumption, is, after ali, promin-
emily subject to risks of weather, in
sects, and disease in the production of
crops, and, while it would be going too
far to say of this region as whole
that the results of it's agriculture are
either "a feast or 4 famine" yet there
is tendency in this direction as the
area covered by the average becomes
more restricted to county, township,
and individual farm.

CIRCUS HERE MONDAY.
The Rhoda Royal Grandest And
Best Shows Almost Here.

The all absorbing topic of the day
seems to be "are you going to the

seems to be why certainly" and
when one stops to reflect over the fact
that the Rhoda Royal Shows are the
largest that ever toured the United
States it is not surprising that one is
going to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to see this massive amusement
enterprise. No amusement, whether
tented or otherwise, has ever caused
the preliminary enthusiasm through
out this section Of the country that
the Rhoda Royal Shows have by the
announcement that they would ap-
pear in Morris, Monday, July 18th.
In view of the fact that this won

WHY Should A Retailer Advertise?

Replying to this question, might ask why should

taller business if he advertise?
Why should retailer attempt to go into storekeeping
if he does not intend for the public he in

Some retailers think of letting the public know when
they have special bargains in goods that have been
carried long time and somewhat shelf and

and big sales enjoyed for short time and when it is

This is like advertising only business is dull
