EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE BURDEN OF TAXES.

Perhaps taxation always will be regarded as a
burden. But 1t is difficult to conceive of any ideal
state divorced from every form Of taxation. How
ever the matter of present interest to every Amer
lean citizen Is how to prevent developing excessive
taxation. How may taxes be cut down?
The chairman Of the congressional joint
committee reorganization entertans the convic-
ton that taxes may be reduced, and announces
that he has plan which he believes will produce
effective results.
The word is cheering word. The public will
hope that Mr.. Brown may be able to save some
of the millions which he says being wasted. a
waste resulting from clumsy organization, lack of
proper cooperation between departments" etc.
He is more than likely to meet with healthy OPP
position to his well intended efforts Many others
have sought to do what he contemplates attempt
ing. That noble thoroughfare is strewn with many
failures.

TEACHERS ATTENDING
SUMMER NORMAL HAVE
GARDEN OF SIX ACRES
fn, nae Assoclnted Press.l

Emporia, Kans., July 3.-The
$500 teachers attending the Kan
sas normal summer school are like
a big family. They have their own
garden and are already making
use of the garden truck from their
own back yard, according to c. II.
Hill, housekeeper at the normal
cafeteria The school garden covers
six acres, but is not too large to
keep the normal teachers supplied
with fresh vegetables, according to
Custodian Hill.
Mr.. Hill stated that he has 1900
head of cabbage, which average
three pounds in weight From fifty
to seventy-five pounds of cabbage
are consumed daily by the cafeteria
boarders.
Last year our garden was one-
fourth as large as this year." Mr..
Hill said, land we raised $500
worth OF produce. The weather
has not been as favorable for gar
den truck this year. but we will
raise at least $1,000 worth of vege-
tables. We have had our first
fresh tomatoes from the school
garden, and within a week will
have daily supply OF 100 pounds.
"other items that we will have
from the family garden include. on
an estimated basis so to 70 BUSH
els of beets. rs bushels of beans, 70
bushels of onions, so bushels Of
carrots and If weather conditions
are favorable, approximately 1900
ears of sweet corn. in addition to
several thousand mangoes."

But he had not taken more than

"Oh, look! The balloon man is

there he was, floating up in the

They had suddenly lifted him off

Look, Uncle Wiggily! Look!"
cried Sammie, very much excited.

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
TO MY MOTHER.

They tell us Of an Indian tree
Which howsoe'er the sun and sky
May tempt its bough to wander free,
And shoot and blossom, wide and high,
Far better loves to bend its arms
Downward again to that dear earth
From which the life, that fills and warns
Its grateful being first had birth.
IT'S thus, though wooed by flattering friends,
And fed with fame (if fame it be),
This heart my dear mother bends,
With loves true instinct, back to thee!

POLISHED FINGER NAILS.

One reason why women whose
hands are always carefully mani
cured, keep their nails young, Is
because the nails are polished
every day. The friction Of tho
buffer stimulates the circulation Of
the blood around and under the
nail, which is enough to keep the
nail itself fresh and young in APP
pearance and to do away, to an ex-
tent, with the tendency tow I'd

1t will not, Of course do away
entirely with ridges. These are due
