like intent, either directly or Indirect

property or money into a form OF
property which is taxable by this
State at lower rate than the intan
BILE personal property or money so
converted, shall be taxable on such
intangible personal property or money
as if such conversion had not taken
place; and the fact that such person,

after the first day Of February, either
directly or indirectly, reconverts such
property non-taxable by this State or
taxable at the lower rate by this
State, into intangible personal prop

rate, is prima facie evidence of intent
to evade taxation by this State, and
the burden of proof is upon such per-

the first conversion was for the bona

for the purpose of evading taxation

In commenting on the effect Of the
new law, Gov. Trinke said: "By
the enactment of this law the State
has demonstrated its desire to be fair
in its tax rate with the owners Of in

citizens will display the same degree
of fairness, and millinos of dollars
of this class of property which have
heretofore escaped taxation will be re,

OUR OIL AND GAS SUPPLY

The United States bureau OF
Mines has just issued a statement
that will relieve the apprehension
Of the country's motorists that
their supply OF gas is in danger OF
failure. The stocks OF this very
necessary fluid were increased III
the month OF January by $4,000,
900 gallons. On February lst
there was reserve on hand OF
7O5,7OO,000 gallons, which is $50.
100000 gallons more than last
year at the same date. The figures
are rapidly approaching the. sou
million-gallon record made in
May, 1921. The production OF
gasoline i'll January Of this year
amounted to 444,622,7S5 gallons,
and Our imports were o,zoO,59o
gallons. Our domestic consump-
ton was 2S2,7l7,16S gallons, and
our exports were 49,S56,3lO gal
Ions. We shipped to Our insular
possessions 675,o59 gallons more.
The present stocks in the Unit
ed States are equal to fifty days
supply, based on the total daily
average consumption for 1921.
There were 292 operative re-
fneries in the country on Febru-
airy lst OF this year, with all illdi-
Gated daily capacity of l,755,94O
barrels. The plants running at
that date continued to operate on
an so per cent basis.
Ii the coal strike projected for
All Fools Day goes into effect
next week, there will naturally
be an increased demand for gas
and fuel oils. We had Oh hand on
February lst OF this year stocks
OF these oils amounting to 1919,
1859 gallons. Based on the
daily average domestic consunp-
ton Tor 1921. we had a supply on
hand equivalent to sixty-eisht
days supply. The production OF
thesesoils i'll January was S55, ITO,
S7z gallons.
Our output Of kerosene for the
same month was l72,9l7,l4l
gallons, All increase of 100000
gallons over the preceding month.
But in spite Of this increased pro-
duction, stocks OF kerosene de-
creased l5.5O0,000 gallons-thus
indicating a quickening OF the
activity i'll this product.
Stocks Of lubricating oil on
hand February lst we're 245, 900.
900 gallons, an increase OF 2S,4o5,
900 gallons over the month pre-
viouS.
As we stated i'll d recent edl-
torial, Our deposits OF petroleum
are sufficient to last us 400 million
horsepower years So that we
may cheerfully advise Our readers

HELP INvALIDS TO FORGET
Presence of Canary or Goldfish In
the Sickroom Invariably Has
Beneficial Effect.

Next time you sit in a room, the
furnishings of which include a bowl
of goldfish, consider how much time
you spend watching the small fish as
they swim slowly about or dart about
in pursuit Of each other.
Probably you will conclude you
were indulging the usual tendency of
the normal person to be attracted to
moving objects. In sick persons and
convalescents this tendency is more
pronounced and in the aged and very
young 1t is still more so.
That psychology of this attraction
was given by DR.. Edward N Leavy,
formerly veterinarian to the animals
in Central park zoo. He Is now con-
nected with a Fifth avenue pet store.
"Sick persons lying In bed spend a
great deal of time watching the gold
fish If an aquarium Is In their ROOM"
he said. at takes their minds off
their pains and aches and is very ben
eficial."
Canaries share with goldfish the
honor of being the chief animate en-
tertainment to the sick.-New York

ty agricultural agents dealing wltn
production problems; there are home
demonstration agents dealing with
home economics problems; there are
boys and girls club agents dealing
with Junior problems. Each OF these
lines of work is in charge OF state
leader at a college Of agriculture.
Each has also been in charge OF
separate administrative division at the
Washington Office. This has made
line of cleavage from one end to the
other, in spite of the efforts of extern
sion directors and division chiefs To
harmonic. The inevitable result has
been an unbalanced program.
"If unified extension program can
be developed, however, this difficulty
can be overcome. Production and mar
keting of crops are only two steps In
the program of rural progress. IL that
is the only object we have in mind In
extension work, we are not worthy OF
a place in the great extension organ
ization. 1t is as important to see that
the money which Is made by an eco
nomical program Of production and
marketing is properly spent as 1t Is
to make the money in the first place.
If we do not carry our program far
enough to aid farm families to secure
better homes and better social life in
our rural communities, we have indeed
fallen far short Of the possibilities
confronting us.
Plan Program for Entire Family.
1--WE all need to keep constantly In
our minds a program which is planned
for the entire family. Then we all
need to work for the accomplishment
of that program, each In his own niche,
to be sure, but each with vision Of
the whole. Then If there chances to
be but one agent in a county, be that
man or woman, the program can be
carried on tremendously. This is
made increasingly possible by the re-
cent and important development of
subject-matter extension specialists
for use In all counties as the work de-

Accessories in Eyes Of the Law.

Speaking generally, an accessory be-
fore the fact is one who, being absent
at the time the offense is COM
mitted, yet procures, counsels, COM
mands. or abets another to commit it.
An accessory after the fact is one who'
knowing a felony to have been CON-
mitted by another, receives, relieves,
comforts, or assists the felon. An &C.
cessory before the fact can receive the
same punishment as the actual prln-
cipal; an accessory after is liable TO
penal servitude for life in the case OF
murder. If two persons agreed to COM
NIT suicide and only one succeeded
the survivor could be charged with will
full murder for he would be an aces

If Winston Churchill did not sue

different result In his appeal to the

gone by, beginning with "The Celeb
rity'' in 1893, and Orchard CarvcP, in
1899. He later laid firm foundation
for the favor he has enjoyed in seIhe

do know that many are harmed by the drug
element in tea and coffee, and that headaches,
nervousness, or high blood pressure are symp-

giving the nervous system too much jolt.
Probably you know, too, that some people
can't drink cup of tea or coffee at bedtime,
and sleep well that night.

New Cars and Locomotives
Ordered

"Tbe orders the railways have
placed thus far .his year for Iocomo-
tives and freight cars show thai they
are using all available TO
Increase their facilities" says the
Railway Age. 1.-THE number of freight
cars ordered this year to October 15
was 122.95s. This exceeds the aver
age annual records of both the last
five and the last zen years. In fact.
in only three years of the last ten
were larger orders placed. namely In
1912. 1918 and 1916. The average
number OF cars ordered annually in
the ten yea ending with 1921 was
1cs.4sa. and in tho five years ending
with 1921 It was $3.50.
The number Of locomotives which
had been ordered to October is was
.1.79e. The average number ordered
annually in the ten years ending with
1921 was ais. Thus, orders placed
in the first for.y-one weeks OF this
year 20 no equal the annual ever
age orders OF the last decade. They
do. however. exceed the average num-
Der ordered annually IN the five years
ending with 1921. which was only
I.4ss.

lent net increase in the amount of

Der who rebels against the southern oligarchy is
promptly made an orphan and his usefulness de-
stroved.
Senator Rendrick is no better than anybody else
and the same fate awaits all Of those who voted for
protection Of local items in she tariff bill, should
the Democratic party gain control of congress and
undertake TO repeal the protective tariff measure
but recently made the Law.
Senator Kendrick may be ever so honorable in
private business dealings. no person of sense and
knowledge would claim otherwise, but in a mat
ter Of strict party policy and doctrine like the
tariff Senator kendrick would be compelled togo
with his party on a party show down or suffer
the fate indicated.
Then the question for Wyoming Republicans and
protectionists TO consider is, why, under the cir
cumstances consider Kendrick in the senatorial
race in Wyoming? If he is elected he will not rep
resent them or their beliefs, and even II he at
tempts 70 do so he will be rendered innocuous by
his own party.

number OF locomotives retired from
service annually in .he ten years
ending with 1921 was 1915. This is
only III less than the total number
ordered thus far this year. The av-
Ierare number of freight cars scrap
ped and retired from service annually
in the ten years ending with 1921
was 1890. This is only 1913 less
than the total freight cars ordered
thus far this year. Because OF inabil-
.ity OF Tho railways within recent
years to buy a normal amount Of
new equipment the number Of To-
comotives and cars that ought TO be
retired il now unusually large.
But two anc one-half months OF
the year 1922 still remained Then
these statistics regarding the orders
pltced this year were compiled. Sub
stantial orders are still being placed
and probably will continue to be un-
I'll the end OF the year. They will
provide for a normal years net IN
crease in equipment. but Will hardly
raake up for any of the large de-
,ficiency In equipment which has ac-
crued within recent years.
"rhe comparatively large orders
for locomotives and cars being placed
evidently are predicted on the belief
OF railway managers that traffic win

ume.
I'm the fall OF 1890 the railways
handled the largest business that they
ever did In their history. The total
