TAX REPORT
SHOWS JOHN D.
FORTUNE MILLION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL
The income tax reports show that the
fortune of John D. Rockefeller ex-
coed q million dollars. He had a
total income Of from Al 5000, 10000 to
$45,000,00O in 1917, and that his in
come in 1918 was at least $37, 200, 900
and possibly as much as 100000 900.
General deductions allowed the oil
magnate in 1917 was probably about
IS ZOO, 900.
His income was swelled 100000
by the interest on bonds, which were
exempt from tax.
Before 1917 Rockefeller probably
transferred large sums of money to
members of his family, and particu-
larly to his son, John D., Jr. 1t is
known that he gave away %$5OO,0OO,-
600 and subscribed to 500, 1000, 900 of
the first issue of Liberty bonds.
He probably has S50,O00,O00 of
state and municipal securities, in adj
dition to his holdings of tax-exempt
Liberty bonds.

Trees Beyond Valuation.

Ten million dollars damage annu-
ally Is done to the shade trees and
hardy shrubs of the country by shade
tree Insects according to estimates
made by the bureau Of entomology,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
1t is very difficult to estimate the
money value Of the shade trees and
shrubs of the country, but a very o n
sentative estimate would place their
value at S1,0O0.O00,0O0 These figures
We're reached after extensive CORE
spondence with the forestry and other
authorities of states and municfpali-
ties. A more definite census is aimed
at but the figures are taken as de-
pendable for general purposes. They
are based on the value OF trees to
cities, parks and private property, and
have no reference to the bare Intrin-
SIC value Of wood or lumber. An old
oak tree which. because OF it's copdi-
hon.is not worth 81 for lumber, may
add $500 TO the value Of the city lot
on which 1t is located.

EASY TO GROW GRASS AVN
Perfect Greensward May BE Quickly
Realized by the Use Of Novel
English Method.

II is proverbially a slow business
getting a good grass lawn in a gar
den, but q new English idea makes 1t
possible TO secure a fine stretch Of
verdure Just as one would buy a car
pet at the stores. Grass seed Is sow
thickly on strong canvas and, when
this is thickly covered with growth 1t
Is ready for making the lawn.
The site is well prepared. being
made perfectly level, and special at
tention is given to getting the soil so
that 1t is a favorable roofing medium
Tor the little plants. Then the grass
mats are put down on sections, these
being closely fitted together. AS time
goes on the roots push down through
the canvas and, In this way, establish
a permanent lawn. Ultimately the
material will rot. The value Of this
lies In the fact that an immediate ef-
feet a be secured. 1t Is quite easy
to have a splendid grass lawn In d
situation where, a few hours before
there was nothing of the kind.
Thenceforward the grass will go on
improving and the little plants speed
lily take a hold on the soil.-Scientiic

THE movement to abolish eight
judicial districts in Missouri, which
has developed into a bill before the
Missouri legislature, is meeting with
decided opposition in some quarters.
The proposed bill would place Aud
rain, Galloway, Monroe and Rails
counties in the same district. The
plan might work but, as regards the
local situation. we rather doubt this.
Judge CAN'T has the courts of This
circuit On the most efficient basis of
any courts in the state. Previous to
his regime the courts in the circuit
were having to hold extra sessions
to keep up with the dockets. In the
final analysis it seems that the sue
cess of the plan rests for the most
part on the judges in charge. And
all judges, it sands to reason, are not
the organizers Judge CAN'T has
proven to be.

LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROPP'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief. Agencies
Combine to Save 100000
Children Death Menaces

Eight great relief OrganiEationa
working among and for every race an,
creed, have united under the name o
the European Relief Council to CO
ordinate child relief In Europe thii
winter. The Council win seek to pro
vide funds for $4,000 starving ant
diseased children In Eastern and Cen
tral Europe and TO administer thil
relief economically.
II consists Of Herbert Hoover, chair
man. and Franklin ( Lane, treas
urer; Edgar Richard. representing the
American Relief Administration; DR.
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warburg,
representing the Jewish Joint Distri.
button Committee; Wilbur &. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers); James
A Flaherty, representing the Knights
of Columbus; DR.. C. V. Hubbard, repre-
~senting ihe Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION; Misc Sarah S. Lyon, repre-
senting the Young Women's Christian
Association /; DIR. Arthur Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council Of Church
es Of Christ In America.
It is the purpose Of the Council to
raise &S3,0O0.0O0, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
garding child life may be met. In
every Town and community of the ma.
ton. 1t Is planned, local committees,
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the VI
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, $23,0O0.000 will be used for
basic food and 100000 for medical
service.
For every one of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form of transportation,
labor, guards, clerical help, ash con-
trtbutions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
Ously undernourished. The remaining
$10.000,0O0 Of the fund Is Just as
urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising Of the child saving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep a constant
eye on the administration Of Amer
ica's merciful gift, in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
toward panperization.
This is the largest cooperative be-
nevolent organization ever attempted
in the United States" MIR. Hoover
says. 'The organizations represented
have come to the unanimous, though
independently formed conclusion, that
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can
avert incredible tragedy for the help
less children involved. The organiza-
tons forming the Council will organ-
lie their representatives in every
town and community Of the nation
for the raising Of the necessary funds"

Now that women have the vote,
they are DOING much to shift their
duties as housewives to the shoulders
of their inexperienced husbands, who
have enjoyed freedom, untouched by
the care of a home, for SO many
years.
1t used to be that all a man had to
DO when he got home in the evening
was to put on the house slippers and
smoking jacket that his wife had
ready for him, and read until his food
was prepared, and then to read some
more. But the women of the present
have decided. that they do not are
for the joys of domestic slavery which
includes dish washing, playing the
part OF a nurse maid, ETC., any longer,
so they are wishing part Of their
duties on to friend hubby. No more
does he get to read peacefully after a
good dinner, but must put on an apron,
get out a tea towel and either dry or
wash the dishes,-usuaIly wash be-
cause the wife must not get her hands
rough. Then when he is through with
that, there is the kitchen to brush
up, and probably the children to un-
dress, and to listen to Daddy's bed
time story. The person who started the
Daddy's bedtime story idea must sure
ly be a woman with a husband and
several kiddies.
OF course Mexico is like every place
else land the wives r just as modern.
So the Mexico husbands are being
made useful in many ways. The other
