The only possibility of existence at

England is in deals and investments
which have been refused by the big
concerns. This of course means that
the shrewdest possible business meth

reason that financiers who excel in
this way would not spend their tai

JACKSON MAY HAVE
TO PAY BIG TAX
Former White Sox Player Made No
Return on $1,000 Gambling
Money.
(Rx Aasociated Pressl


GREENVILLE, S. c., Feb. 13.-Joe
Jackson, former smuggling outfielder Of
the Chicago White Sox, may have to
pay upwards of $1,000 income tax and
penalty on the $4,000 he is said to
have received during the worlds Sc
ries of 1919. according to information
obtained today from James H. Price,
a local attorney, who has been re-
tanned as counsel by jackson. Eff
forts were started by treasury de-
partment officials to collect income
tax on the $1,000 shortly after Jack
son was alleged to have made his con-
fession, Mr.. Price said though no
announcement was made of the fact.
Jackson failed to include the $4,000
in making out his income tax returns,
taking the view, it is said, that it was
received as a gift. Mr. Price. who will
appear as associate counsel for jack
son in the hearing at Chicago next
month, has been engaged in the in
come tax phase of the case and has
presented Jackson's claim 20 1.-THE
treasury department. 1t is expected
that a decision will be given soon by
treasury officials.

GERMANS RESENT
MONOCLE DECREE
Order Forbidding Officers to Wear
Single Glasses Brings Protest.
(Ry Associated Press)

BERLIN. Feb. 13.-An order for
bidding the wearing of the monocle
by officers and members of the Sc
curity police, issued by the Prussian
minister of the interior, has brought
down upon the minister a veritable
avalanche OF abuse. 1t also has evoked
reams of argument in favor of the
ancient institution of the single eye
glass.
The minister described the wearing
of the monocle as IAN unbecoming
habit" and attributed it to the van
ity of officers rather than to any
weakness of the eye.
His critics accuse him of being de-
fcient in anatomical knowledge, of
making a grandstand play to the pro-
letariat. and of a malicious attempt to
overthrow an old, honored and, COM
mon German institution.
A mans two eyes are very seldom
of equal soundness, it is pointed out,
and the use of spectacles might in
jure sound eye while aiding the
gued, the custom is WE'LL established
on physical grounds.
The majority OF the commentators
scornfully reject the minister's, rea-
sons for the order--that the monocle
is an affectation and smacks of mon
archical times. They argue that the
one eye glass custom prevails in such
democratic countries as Eng'ond and
even to some extent in An ora "a.
One participant in the frey links
the monocle wearer is not getting a
square deal. ANY man who can man
age to hold a round piece of glass
between his eyebrow and his cheek
bone ought. to be rewarded with a
medal of merit for exceptional skill
instead of being reprimanded.

 The first thought that has influenced him about Miss Minnie is .'that his first wife loved her dearly" S
 Miss Minnie is no longer in the bloom of youth.
 He knows her people--she knows his and he grows very fond of her, which isn't hard. and he finally thinks that he can make her happy.
 Miss Minnie" Is fond of his children and Cousin Sara" says nothing to him.
 When the. wedding is over and Cousin Sara" has departed. and the home life has settled down with the new mother in charge--poor Miss Min nie" faces the music and Dear Annie's" children.
 She realizes that they expect her to be mean to them, nay. even brutal, and they want the first scene in the play to hurry up and come.
 They are all primed for the step mother fight" and Miss Minnie" knows deep down in her heart that they really need good thrashing if she only had the courage to administer 1t.
 If they were her own she wouldn't hesitate minute how to proceed, but as it is she resolves to put into force all the moral suasion hints she has ever heard and try to win thefn.
 She suggests that they have party and they take the hint and decide that she is afraid of them and then the trou- ble begins.

SELMA CHRISTIAN CHURCH PR0SPERING-BUILDING TO BE ADEQUATELY ENLARGED


 Selma, March S.-(Special.) )-The steady growth of the First Christian church since the present building was erected. 12 years ago, makes it necessary to add space for the Sunday school. it was de- clared by the pastor. the Rev. D. F. Taylor, who spoke to the men of tho church and Sunday school Wednesday evening at banquet arranged by the ladies of the congregation.
 His subject was, The House We Live In,' and he cited figures showing that the present building housing the church and Sunday school is inadquate, as it was built when the membership of the church totaled only 140 and now totals 400. Effort is being made to add 100 new members to the church this year. Plans for installing new pipe organ also are being discussed.
 s. c. McDowell is chairman of the building committee and Marion Martin is chairman of the music committee. One hundred men attended the banquet.

 Miss Minnie" realizing that he is right, goes ahead doing her duty as she sees 1t and then 1t is that the story gets abroad that she is shamefully mis- treating her step-children."
 It comes back from Cousin Saras Sunday school class, where two of dear Minnie's" children are pupils, and who are encouraged to tell all they know, that they are being terribly useds and the news is passed on to the next door neighbor, who in turn tells 1t to some- one else; and the next thing Miss Min niep is regarded as the neighborhood monster" and poor little Annie and Georgia" are terribly treated and afraid even to "bat an eyeclash."

 There's only one compensation in il all and that is George!
 Miss Minnie" has long since realised that it is better to be the fourth wife to marry a bachelor and try to make husband out of him.
 Being ..hen-pecked" Is bad enough, but to be "pullet-pecked" by houseful of children is even more blasttngly ter- rificl
 Certainly a man has a perfect right to marry as many times as he Is a widower.
 When his children are small they don't know enough to advise him in taking the step, and when they are grown they ought to be so busy find ing husbands or wives for themselves that they let him run his own matri- monial affairs.
 But
 Whether the children are little or big, It's much the same and the finest sort of stepmother seldom draws any thing very pleasant in the lottery Of love in the stepehildren line!
