{ ing income tax returns showing tax able income, aggregated 8, ,49S in the calendar year 1909, and that number increased to 232,079 for the calendar year 1917. The number of individuals making personal income tax returns aggregated 57,598 for the calendar year 1913, and that number increased to 3, 3,472, ,S90 for the calendar year 1917.
 For the fiscal year 1909 the total ordinary receipts aggregated S603, 3,5S9.- 4S9.S4, of which $500, I'll ,933.95 came from customs duties, 46,212, ,643.59 came from internal revenue. and the balance was received from the sale of public lands and other miscellaneous items; whereas, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, the total re- ceipts from customs amounted to S1S4.7 45T ,S67.39, while the internal revenue, including income taxes and corpora ton and excess profits taxes, amounted to S3.s39,9 9,95o612.05.
 So you will see that until 1910 the money you paid toward the support of the government was slipped away from you so easily that you hardly knew anything about it. You did not know that you were paying taxes to the national government.
 Indirect taxation is the most se- ductiye form of raising public rev enue. You never came in contact with the federal government except when you bought postage stamp. But now you know 1t every time you buy drink at soda fountain, or a bottle of medi- cine, or sand telegram, or make a long g-distance telephone call, or per- form any one of score of other nor nal activities of daily life. Some thing must be put in the kitty for the government. It's annual rakeoff runs into the billions. You pay it and the government spends it.
 But all that part of the party Is about over now. The oysters have been eaten and put in the bill. They must be paid for. It is perfectly clear that in the future by far the greater part of the revenue required for con ducting the public business must come from direct taxes. It is also clear that the ordinary expenses for run ming the government will In future probably exceed four billion dollars a year. That is a lot of money to take out of your pockets, and mine. Hadnt we better see what is done with it, and whether we can save any of 1t? Con- gress, which is very far-sighted, and able. when its own skin is concerned, to distinguish hawk from Il hand saw at a very great distance, is be- ginning to take notice

XIV. THIS WAS YOUR MONEY

Consider for moment, F you will, some further figures. This is your money I am talking about.
 For every fiscal year from 1866 to 1893, inclusive, there was a surplus of receipts over expenditures. During this period of 28 years the surplus of receipts over expenditures totafed ST. 920. .205, ,013.41.
 For the fiscal years 1894 to 1899, in- elusive, the expenditures exceeded the receipts in the aggregate of S2S3022,- s91.14. For the fiscal years 1900 to 1904, inclusive, the surplus of receipts over expenditures aggregated S31o,- 319, ,165.04. For 1905 the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $7S,T76,- 622.30
 For the years 1910 to 1914, inclus- i've, the receipts exceeded the expendi- lures by S149,024 ADAPT. For 1915 the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $33, ,48S,931.53. For 1916 the re- ceipts exceeded the expenditures by $55, III, ,553.59, and for 1917 there was deficit of $29, 9,724,s64.73.
 From 1866 to 1917, inclusive, the re- ceipts exceeded the expenditures for each year with the exception of 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1899. 1905, 1908, 1909 1915 and 1917. The total amount by which the expenditures exceeded the receipts for these Il years just named. is S443, 766, ,744.70. For the D fiscal years, 1866 to 1917, inclusive, the receipts exceeded the expenditures in fl years. the total of such excess for that period being S2.591 ,453, ,1S4.16
 For the fiscal years 1866 to 1910, the revenues were raised through an in- direct system of taxation. Beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, the receipts from direct methods of taxation have usually grown each fiscal year. as will be seen by the fol- lowing table:

GROWING CELERY

Growing celery for family use by the bed method cannot be eXcelled for at talning crispness and delicacy of flavor according to horticulturists of the Ohio experiment station after test ing the various schemes of intensive garden culture of this crop. Accord ing to their plan celery may be ob- tained in the small garden from No vember till midNinter. For this crop g level bed four feet wide and as long as desired Is selected. A ditch is dug six inches deep, full width of the bed. smoothed on the bottom, covered with three inches of stable manure and then with three inches of the best soil saved for the purpose. Soaking the ground causes it to settle. If de sired, radishes. lettuce or any early crop may be grown before planting celery.

WHEN TO PLANT SWEET CORN
Seed Should Not Be Sown Until Ground Is Warm and No
 Danger From Frost.

Sweet corn should he planted on rich land and cultivated the same as field corn. Plant the seed as soon as the soil is warm in the spring, and make successive plantfngs every two or three weeks until late summer The same results can be obtained to some extent by planting early medium and late varieties. Plant the seeds about two inches deep in drills three feet apart and thin to a single stalk every 10 to II inches.
 Sweet corn. when grown in the South. passes so quickly from the milk to the dough stage that care should be exercised to gather the crop just at the right time, in order to secure the most satisfactory results. The flavor of sweet corn depends upon it's stage

USE EVERY INCH
 OF GARDEN SOIL.
Intensive Farming" Applies as Well 10 Small Plot as to
 the Large Tract.
EASY TO GROW VEGETABLES
Careful Gardener Can Find Room for Additional Plants if Best Judg- nent is Used in Pian-
 hing Seed Bed.

Intensive farming long ago won the 0. K. of the practical agrieulturist who found that 1t was to hts financial interest to make two or more grow where one grew before.
 The same rule applies. or should apply. to the cottage gartlener-~the fellow who has only a few feet of space, compared with the three or four hundred acre fa~m.
 ii is just as essential that the back yard fence corners be made to pro- duee as il is that the formerly un- used places on the farm be brought into state of production.
 In the back yard Of the majority of small homes in both country and city, there are spaces that have been neglected because the man of the house WAS not exactly in the mood Of spad- ing il up when planting time arrived. Spading time should extend from the time the one crop was garnered the previous fall to the time when the soli is actually prepared for the next sea son. Spadlng in the fall is not bad idea. The leaves and other fertilizer producing growths can be turned under and also made to work for yeu.
 Value Of Rich Soil.
 If you are fortunate enough to ob- tain il load or two of stable manure. of course II is better 10 turn tllls under in the fail and allow it to be well rottesl by sprlng-ana not blown away b. the winter winds Although much manure has large quantity of straw mixed with if. the straw also enriches the soil.
 With the ground well cared for ih the fall before the freezing weather starts. 1t is in condition to be brought into the best producing stafe in the carry spring. when little, if any. spadng WILL be necessary to make the seed bed and the worst of the work is over ana he home gardener is happy with ms prospects.
 Then-when actual planting time eomes--when the ground is warm anu there seems 10 be no danger or trost that is the time to make the most oi the situation.
 No plants will do their best crowded but there are many yeSeu'oles that will do well hy being planted close together. Those that require most space should have all they need but if is well to remember that some of the small vegetables that grow ciose to the ground and are out of the "ay early can be grown between the larsef plants, such as tomatoes and peahs' which develop slowly.
 When crowding Can Be Done.
 By exercising careful 1udgihea. a little more crowdng may be aote 'n some instances than has been uo'ie by many gardeners. and more niiei. cropping--planting between the i"'ei developing pants-inay be carf'ta out, much to the qualification or the gardener. loud

 All the serving dishes are evenly ar ranged in good order on the table, with the serving utensil, forks or spoons, lying to the right, never in the dishes themselves.
 It is good plan after each meal to remove all the dishes and the cloth and put dark but pretty table cover on the table. This. takes little extra work, but the improved appearance warrants it.

Once month in the evening pour a cupful of kerosene down the kitch- en sink, and next morning pour down two gallons of boiling water.
