here on Monday. Although Millsboro
Onlv got two hits off the speedy Chism'
he was replaced by Holzmueller in
the third because Of errors, three OF
which were made by Holzmueller,
who is usually error proof.
Neither team had ever played on
the new diamond, which accounted
for the eleven errors, five of which
were made by Milford. Scott and Crit
fifth each made three baggers, and
Abbott got a double. Scott's long liner
to the $50 foot right field wall was
Milford's reception of Millsboro's

TO WEST INDIA
Edwin Keller Will Leave Soon to
Study Markets.

The International Commercial AS
ISOLATION Of Texas, recently incor-
porated for the purpose of Fronting
better business relations between Tex
as exporters and Latin American
merchants, has announced plans for
sending a special trade envoy to the
West Indian markets.
A bulletin issued Saturday by the
association said:
Final arrangements for the trip
of Edwin Keller to the West Indian
markets are now about completed.
San Antonio will send the first trade
envoy for the purpose Of forming
market connections across the sea.
"Mr. Keller's itinerary will in
clude San Juan and Ponce in Porto
Rico. Santo Domingo and Puerto
Plata in the Dominican Republic,
Port au Prince in Haiti. and Havana,
Cierfuegos. Camaguey and Santiago
in Cuba. 1t will be his purpose to try
and arrange for permanent connec-
tions in those trade centers with which
our various exporters may make in.
dividual arrangements for the sale OF
their products. =.
"Dufing his trip Mr.. Keller will
make a close study of the conditions
In the various countries and make an
investigation Of the credit and other
conditions affecting exporters. Special
efforts will be made to secure full

Of debate and action, with lowered
rates regarded as more Of probable
ity than a possibility. Congress prob
ably will lower the rates or increase
the exemption in the individual re
turns.
Most of the talk now in tax circles
is that the exemption will be raised
above the $1,000 and $1,000 figures
which now apply. In the case of mar
ried men with small incomes an ex-
emption of $500 is granted under
the present law. There is talk now
of raising the exemption to $1,000
for single men and women and S3OOO
for married men.
Should this be done, income tax
alton would be lower almost TO
the vanishing point, for about 5,OOO,-
600 persons who at present come under
the $4,000 net income limit.
The reduction would be felt all
along the line in the higher grades
as well. Thus a married man pay
ing taxes on net income up 10 S6OO0
at the present time would pay $40
less with an additional $1,000 exemp-
ton; and the married man paying
taxes on more than $1,000 net income
would pay $50 less annually.
Adoption of this plan as well rs
other proposals depends largely upon
the report of the specialists who will
determine, with the aid of the govern
ment actuary what effect the raising
of the exemption would have upon
the treasury If the $1,000 increase in
exemption will cost the treasury every
year more than S200,000,000 windfall
expected by Secretary Mellon, an
other method probably will be adopt
ed.
Prefers General Reduction.
The White House has made it plain
to callers that it prefers a general
tax reduction IL there is 30 be any
reduction at all which would apply
all along the line, to a reduction only
in surtax rate as proposed two years
ago and recently readvocated by Sec
rotary Mellon. 1t seems certain that
Mr.. Melons plan will not be adopt
ed either by the administration or
Congress without considerable modifi-
cation.
OF decided concern to business in
tHlS is Tue prOpOsdl, gaming COHfefts
almost daily of the so-called progress
sive bloc to restore the excess prof.
its tax on corporations. Among
the dozens of proposed amendments
to the income taxes which are certain
to come before Congress, none seems
to have quite such a rosy prospect as
the restoration of the profits tax.
Officials of the treasury look for
this tax to come back on the books
after considerable debate on Capitol
hill at the next session, and they
couple with it the expectation that
there win be a substantial lowering
of the tax burden now borne by the
small taxpayer, the struggling mer-
chant, the professional man and the
man or woman on wages or salary.
There are more than 100000 per-
sons paying taxes on net incomes of
less than $4,000 a year. Their pay
ments probably do not aggregate
more than S200,00000O a year. if
indeed, they amount to that much.
The first tax reduction advocated
in this year before the national cleo
tons is expected TO be a reduction
that will apply to these 100000 tax
payers. -.

That San Antonio has the best
Fire Department in the State is the
verdict of the State Firemen's Con-
yention. Because of this fact San
Antonio enjoys the lowest fire in
surance rates in the State, being
allowed a maximum credit of Is per
cent for 1922 and 1923, because of
her good fire department and small
fire losses. The saving to the fire
insurance policy holders of San An
tonic, last year, by reason of our
good fire record, was S151, 10000.
For 1923 the saving will be $751;
10000 OF. more.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-Recom mendation of an appropriation of funds sufficient to make a thorough inquiry into the worlds production of crude rubber will shortly be made by the President, according to inti- nations given out at he White House today. The funds will also be used, if the Presidents plans are carried out, to carry on experiments in cultivation of rubber plants among American insular possessions. This action is one of the effects of re cent British order curtailing the pro- duction of rubber. Great Britain con tro,s about eighty per cent of the worlds crude rubber supply, of which the United States buys about seventy per cent.

ALASKA GROWN SEED ARE INTRODUCED TO
 OUTSIDE GARDENS

In response to an advertisement which made it's initial appearance in a recent issue of The Country Gentle man, The Sure Mature Seed Company, of which W. P. Borden is superintend ent of farms, and Jack Shanly busi- ness manager, received on the last mail sixty requests for their hardy, Alaska grown seeds. Advertising is now being run, in addition to The Country Gentleman, in sixty news papers of the New England States and in seventy-five periodicals of the North Central States, says the Fair banks News Miner.
 The Sure Mature Seed Company. operating farms located a short dis tance west of the Agricultural Experi- ment station and in close proximity to the Alaska Agricultural College, was organized last fall. It claims the the largest tract of cultivated land in Alaska, and also to be the only Alaska firm nationally advertising. It's farm, Skyland Acres, is claimed to be the farthest north seed farm in the world.
 This year, owing to the fact that the organization of the company was too late to take complete advantage of the last growing season, only Petrowski turnip seed is offered Next year, the company says, variety will be of- fered, including all small grains, Alas ka field peas, seed potatoes, root vege- tables and few varieties of hardy flower seeds. Requests for sample packages have come from all sections of the United States and future for the enterprise seems assured.
 Burbank Is Interested
 The company is in receipt of let ter from Luther Burbank, plant wizard of Santa Rosa, California. MT. Bur- bank says Some varieties of seeds can be grown to advantage in Alas ka,' and promises to test the samples sent him.
 Several large seed firms in the States, including Peter Henderson & Co.,. have received sample packages. and have promised to test them out with varieties which they now list in their catalogs, to ascertain If the Alaska grown possesses special merit.
 Delegate Dan Sutherland, in let ter to Manager Jack Shanly, endorses the work that is being done by the company, and expresses great inter- est in the project.
