Where Was De Soto Rurisd2

The question as to what spot on the
Mississippi river marks the grave of
fernando De Soto, the discoverer of
that stream, is an unsettled one. Ar
kansas City and Helena, Ark, Rose
dale and Greenville, Miss, river towns,
have had a four-cornered controversy
over the question. Citizens of Helena
contend that the Spanish explorer was
given a watery grave in the river he
discovered at a point just opposite
Helena. Arkansas City produces his
tOrical data tending to show that De
SOto's funeral ceremony was said at a
point opposite that city and close to
the junction of the Mississippi and
White rivers. Rosedale and Greentille
have produced evidence in support of
their respective claims. So about the
only answer one can give in assurance
that it will not be disputed is that De
SotO's grave is somewhere in the Mis-
sissippi between Memphis, Tenn, and
Greenville, Miss.

Gold Mines in Ancient Graves.

The latest method of gold mining is
grave rObbing. Modern Indians Of
western South America have discOv-
cred that buried in the mounds that
contain the skeletons of their ancient
ancestors there also can be found gold
-trinkets. They burrow into these,
claim the trinkets as an Inheritance
and melt these priceless relics of Amer
ica's wonderful pre- Columbian civiliza-
tion into gold of commerce.
Archeologists of the bureau of Amer
lean ethnolOgy of the Smithsonian in
stltutiOn declare that such practices
are destroying forever the early his
tory of South American Indians.
Large images of gold and silver
were made by the prehistoric gold
smiths. The records of the early
Spanish explorers are filled with de-
scriptiOns of these golden articles
some Of which were as large as cart
wheels.

Mistletoe Has Brains.

One of the most curious illustrations
Of the working of intelligence in plants
is offered by the mistletoe, whose
sticky berry, finding lodgment on Il
tree branch, throws out a tiny rootlet,
which tries to pierce the bark and
thus obtain foothold. If the bark is
too tough, the rootlet swings the berry
over to a fresh spot, and makes an
other trial. In this way such a berry
has been known to make five jumps in
two nights and three days. On one
occasion a number of them were dis
covered by a botanist in the act of
visibly journeying along telegraph
wire, trying TO find places to grow

He planned to see Harriet again
that evening, and left the club at
eleven O'clock. after an incredibly dull
game. with the definite hope that the
youngsters would dance or in some
other way prOlong the summer eve
ming at least until midnight. His
heart sank when he reached Crown

the tempered lights that burned until
the latest member of the family came

young persons had gone upstairs at
about half-past ten, sir 1t was now
half-past eleven.
Richard debated sending Harriet a
message to the effect that he would
like to see her for a moment The
flaw in this plan was that he could
think of nothing about which there
was the slightest necessity of seeing
her. He felt restless and anything
but sleepy, and glanced irresOlutely 'at

there were humping feet, shrieks.

Stock Dividends.
The revenue act of 1918 provided for
the taxation Of stock dividends, but
since the enactment of that law the
supreme court of the United States has
held that stock dividends do not con-
stitute income within the meaning OF
the sixteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, and are accordingly not sub
ject to the Income tax The revenue
act of 1921 specifically provides that
such dividends shall not be taxable
when paid in good faith, but that if,
after the payment OF such a dividend
the corporation proceeds to cancel OF
redeem its stock at such time and in
such manner as to make the distri-
button and cancellation or redemption
ESSENTIALLY equivalent to the distribu-
ton of q taxable dividend the amount
received in rede nption or cancellation
of the stock shall be treated as a taxa
bic dividend.
IF dividend Is paid in the stock Of
some other company. or some other
form Of property, the fair value of the
property received is to be taken as the
value CT the dividend paid, and such
amount is taxable to the individual
receiving it. A corporation which re-
ceives a dividend in the stock of some

GETHER,

Should our government accept an
invitation to attend the proposed eco
non1ic conference at Genoa in March,
in what manner win it affect our posi-
ton of non-recognition of the Russian
soviet government? This is a question
of concern, for the Russian government
has also been invited to be represented,
and although our representative would
be unofficial yet for all practical pur-
poses, would be an official representa-
ton of the gathering. 1t could not well
be otherwise.
In addition to this factor there is an
other, for our government has made it
known that before we assent to any
plan involving the rehabilitation of
Europe and sterilization Of exchange,
these foreign countries must agree to
certain prescribed conditions, this con-
sent determining as to our extending
assistance. and Europe will interpret
this as an aid Of money.
Our government demands material
curtailment of European armies, ees-
sation Of initiation in foreign capital
and balancing of budgets that in

our plain spoken words are that Ger

consequent depreciation of exchange.
The wiser and more practical method
on our part would seem to consider
this foreign economic conference as
outside of our sphere of influence, that
is. it is a matter of European concern
and not of ours. In short, 1t will be bet
ter we keep out Of any such confer
ence. Should we recognize this matter
even unofficially, 1t is certain the elev-
en- billions of gold Europe owes to us
will be brought up and not unlikely in
a manner decidedly Unpleasant TO our
feelings, and countries in deep eco
nomic troubles are not so considerate
of feelings of others.
We may save ourselves a good lot
of trouble by just taking it easy and
letting Europe help itself, for it knows
where the trouble lies.

INCOME TAX FACTS

The tax on dividends is an impor-
tant item in the returns of many tax
payers.
A "dividend'' for the purpose of the
income tax law is any distribution in
cash or property made by a corpora
tfon to its. stockholders or members
(other than certain dividends of a per-
sonal service corporation) out of its
earnings or profits accumulated since
February %, 1913. Dividends are tax
able and are taxed at the rates for the
year in which the cash is made avail
able, regardless of when the earnings
OF profits out of which they We're paid
were accumulated. Although interest
on state bonds and certain other obli-
cations is not taxable, when received
with other funds of the corporation
and distributed to stockholders in divi-
dends, it is taxable to the same extent
az other dividends.
A dividend is income to the stock
holder as to the date when the cash
or property is unqualifiedly made sub
ject to his demand. Cash dividends
while exempt from all normal tax, are
taxable income to the individual recip-
lent at the surtax rates for the year
in whiah received. Accordingly, divi-

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL RE.



Eyes, they are meeting, but what are
they accomplishing? such has been
the question on the lips of many
thoughtful citizens anent the confer
ence on Limitation OF ornaments at
Washington.
The wisest heads can never tell in
advance what the result OF a law. an
agreement, a treaty may be. The Yer
sailles treaty was to do one thing; it
did another. The yolstead law was to
decrease crime; it created a brand new
crime and a lot of It. The Irish-Bri-
tish pact is cat no one knows which
way will jump. and the accomplish
ments OF the Washington conference
may work and may not!
But the Washington conference has
produced results. if treaties be re
suits. SO far eight treaties-Pacific,
arms limitation, submarine and poi
son gas. German cable ALLEGATION. Chi
nese tariff, Chinese questions, zap,
and Chinese Japanese Shantung
t-eaty--have come out of the confer
ence, in seven of which the United
States is a party.
Whether they work or don't work,
whether they aid or hinder the cause
Of peace, no one can say.
