Perhaps Chirpy Cricket heard

he wanted to punish him. Anyhow.
he crept into the farmhouse one eve
! ming and found his way into Johnnie
Green's chamber. where he hid in a
gaping crack behind the Dashboard.
And that very night, as soon as
Johnnie Green put out his light and
jumped into bed, Chirpy Cricket be-
gan to fiddle for him..
Johnnie had been sleepy. But
the moment Chirpy Cricket began
fiddling right there in his room he
became wide awake. He had had
no idea how loudly one Of the
Cricket family could play his cr-r-r-i!
crAr-r-i! cr-r-r-i! indoors. The high,
shrill sound was piercing. It rang
in Johnnie's ears and drowned the
rnufflcd concert Of the fields and
swamp which the light breeze bore
through the window.
For few minutes Johnnie lay
still. And then he sat up N bed.
"I'll have to get up and find that
fellow" he said. IF ! don't, he'll
keep me awake"
The moment ne stirred. the iiddling
stopped short. Johnnie was glad
of that. And once more he laid
his head upon his pillow. But in
few moments that crr-r-i! cr-r-r-i!
rang out again.
Then Johnnie Green tried several
remedies. He shook the bed. He
knocked over a chair. He caught
up shoe and threw it toward cor
ner of the room, whence the sound
seemed to come. And then he threw
the other shoe.
Every time Johpnie Green made
noise Chirpy Cricket stopped fid-
ding. And if Johnnie had had
enough shoes no doubt he could have
kept Chirpy from making any more
music that night, But, of course,
Johnnie couldn't have slept any, if
he had done that. Besides, he would
have kept the whole family awake,
too. He thought of that after he
had hurled the second shoe. For
his father called up the stairs and
asked him what was the matter.
"Thefe's an old Cricket in my
roomw Johnnie explained. Hes

There were enough night noises

the report stated. and If they are
successful the ships will be loaded
with liquor and anchored outside
the three mile limit. These plans
call for chain of floating saloons
reaching from Bath, Nc, to
Tampa, Fla.
Chairman Laskcr of the Ship
ping Board admitted that report
Of he alleged plans had reached
him. He refused to say whether
offers from liquor men would be
refused. The board is anxious to
sell the ships. Bids on the 2S7
wooden vessels will be opened
July 80.
"a great idea" he said of the
plan. There's Just enough boats
to stud the eastern shore with
floating drink palaces. They
wouldn't cost as much as city
shop, and no rent or taxes to
pay. Motor boat lines could ply
to and fro between the anchored
ships and nearby cities"
Prohibition Commissiner Haynes
said if the ships were purchased
by liquor vendors and are placed
under foreign registry the Gov
ernment could not touch them,
If operated under American regis
Try this Government could take
action, he believed.
Haynes said to-day that the

1s2l.)-Taxes FOR the year 1921. which
must be paid next March. will be re-
dpced slightly, If at all.
The painful truth that after all the
talk about economy. the American
taxpayer will not be rid OF his war
burden is at last being admitted by
leaders of the Republican Party.
Secretary Mellon Of he Treasury De
partment, on the one hand. has told
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House that. judging by what has
happened thus far, fully four billion
dollars in revenue will be needed to
run the Government, and Senator
Penrose has intimated, on the other
hand. that he had little hope of seeing
taxes reduced. 1t will be remembered
that Secretary Houston of the Demo
cratic Administration told the coun-
try last year that he did not believe
Government expenses could be cut
below four billion, and that. there
fore, all promises of lower taxation
were unwarranted.
So a Republican Secretary of the
Treasury now agrees with Demo-
cratic Secretary of the Treasury IN
naming four billion dollars as the

lower taxation are going a-glimmer-
ing Mr.. Mellon has gone step fur
ther by telling the Republican Ways
and Means Committee another painful
fact, namely. that the Tariff Bill,
about which there has been so much
controversy and which has just passed
the House, will not yield more than
$3.50, 100000 annually, and perhaps
less. Originally it had been estimated
that the new tariff would furnish
$500 100000. Thus the Fordney tariff
will bring only about one-tenth Of the
total revenue needed to run the Gov
ernment There was a time when a
tariff bill would yield about half the
revenue Of the Government, but that
was when the United States Govern
ment could be managed with a single
billion dollars.
Secretary Melons statement that
the new tariff would yield only one
tenth fthe revenue needed is a
gentle hint to Congress that means
must still be provided to raise the
ether nine-tenths. namely, three and
a-half billion dollars.
While the excess profits tax will be
repealed, the truth is that particular
provision OF the Excess Revenue Law
has been automatically repealed by

In circles which are closely observ

situation much satisfaction Is ex-
pressed at the prospect OF Gen.
Smuts's re-cntry into the negotiations
In the manner indicated. This is par
ticularly the case in view OF the per-

the view OF many students of the sit
uatlon, Is Gen. Snutss reputed infu-
cnce as a mediI-or, due to his former
position as one Of the anti English
leaders In the South African War.
This, It is held by these observers. has
established a common bond between
the Southern Irish leaders and Gen.
Smuts. which renders his advice more
acceptable to them than that OF al
most any other outsider.
Before Premier Smuts's projected
trip to Dublin it is expected Mr.. De
Valera will have submitted the Brit
