rant recently to celebrate the anniver-

with the firm. The main entertain
ment of the affair was the big boss
description of how the guest OF honor
originally got his job.
A little more than IS years ago the
office had been puzzled by the receipt
OF a Grated typewriter from an up
state town. 1t was addressed to some
one unknown in the establishment.
A few days later a young man, bear
ing all the marks Of a country youth
OF that period, arrived and announced
he was ready to go to work
Work? Who said work." asked the
executive in charge.
why, didn't you send for me p
asked the young man. That's my
typewriter over there in the corner
now
well, we never sent for you" in
sisted the executive. There must be
/ som mistake"
Then, just as the country youth,
surrounded by the smiling office force,
was about to shoulder his typewriter
and go forth among the pitfalls OF the
great city. the big boss happened
along and stopped to learn the cause
of the commotion. The boss seemed
interested and directed that the young
man be sent into his private office:
The interview lasted several min
utes. 1t developed that one OF the
travelling statesmen OF the firm thought
he would play a joke on the ambitious
clerk Of general store where he was
selling bill OF goods. He had told
the young man that the firm wanted
him and all he had to do was to ship
his typewriter, go down to the city
and make his fortune.
When the country youth came out
OF the boss private Office he walked
over to his typewriter kicked the
crate off, put the machine on desk
and settled down on his road to the
vice presidency Of the concern.

SEEKS TAX CUT
BY NEXT CONGRESS
SECRETARY MELLON READY
TO LOWER INCOME LEVIES.
WOULD REVISE SYSTEM.

Revision OF federal taxes, expected
TO reduce the total assessment by
1928 100000 next year, is proposed in
program approved by Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon, which Will be
presented to the next congress, which
will convene in three weeks.
Tax revision, Secretary Mellon de
clared when he made public, the pro
gram. should be considered before
any other Legislative work.
Blow at Income Taxes.
The whole program is directed at
reduction of the present system OF m
come and luxury taxation which Sec
retarv Mellon termed "a failure and
an emergency measure no longer o.
financial benefit to the government.
The first proposal OF the revision
program is to make a Is per cent re
duction in the taxes on earned IN
comes. Thus, four per cent taxes on
incomes would be cut to three per
cent. and eight per cent assessments
would be cut to six per cent. Anoth-
er important change suggested in the
program is the abolition OF taxes on
theater admissions, telephones. teIe-
grams and leased wires.
Would Readjust Surtaxes.
The fourth proposal is to reduce
surtaxes by beginning their apphca-
ton at $4,000, instead OF 10000 and
scaling them progressively upward to
Is per cent at 100000. Fifth, proper
ty held jointly by husband and Wlte
would be taxed to the member OF the
family having control OF the income.
The program also includes the re-
vision of other small taxes, but the
details OF these suggested changes are
left to congress. The plan also calls
Tor simplihcation of present laws
and the establishment OF board OF
tax appeals in the treasury depart
inert.
Opinion on the plan is divided at
Washington. Secretary Melons state
ment that tax revision must be done
before a soldier bonus bill is passed
has caused lot OF comment, how
ever
Mr.. Mellon declared that if a sol
der bonus bill were passed at once,
tax reductions would be delayed many
years, "since tax increases would be
to pay a bonus"
Predict Programs Failure.
In the face of this statement many
declared Secretary Mel
Ions plan will fail since most OF the
law makers are intent on listening to
an early appeal for a soldier bonus
bill in congress.
1t has been predicted, moreover,
that the bonus bill will be the first to
be considered at the coming sessions,
and many of the solons are confident
Of victory for it.
If bonus bill is passed, the sena-
tors say-and even Mr.. Mellon has
this fact-there will be no
chance for a program which will tend
to reduce the governments income
from taxes levied on the people.

CANNIBAL RACE is
FOUND. IN GUINEA
HEAD HUNTERS WHO LOOK
LIKE LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL
REPORTED BY EXPLORER.

A race of head hunters with Jewish
features has been discovered by Capt.
Frank Hurley, explorer, $50 miles up
the Floy river, at Lake Murray, New
Guinea. Except for. their bronzed
skins and lack OF civilization, he said
they might have been mistaken for a
lost tribe of Israel, says the New
York World.
Capt Hurley is here from Austria
liza, on his way to London. He spent
two years i'll New Orleans, where he
mapped the swamp regions by sea-
plane. His discoveries at Lake Muir
ray were made by boat He was pho
tographer on the ShaCkleton ant-arc-
tic expedition of 1914-17.
Their Approach Deceptive.
The new race was discovered last
February and called by Hurley Sam
bios" because of their habit OF calling
out "Samblo! and waving their pad
dies i'll friendly fashion on approach.
This deception almost cost the lives
OF the explorer and the white men
with them. They were lured into an
ambush by the tribesmen on their
first visit ashore. They escaped in a
hail of arrows dipped in deadly poi
son.
Friendly relations were established
with them by trading tin cans and
other supply metal containers for ma
tive products, now in the Australian
museum, Sidney The Samblos had
never seen metal before and did all
their boiling in stone or bamboo.
The men Of the tribe are described
by Capt. Hurley as exceptionally pow
erful for their small stature. Ranging
in height from hve-foot six to five
foot nine inches, the men were able
to bend bows several feet longer than
their height
AT Lake Murray the expedition dis
covered a new species of pink lotus
with a flower spread of IA inches, on
stems eight feet tall, related to the
sacred lotus OF Egypt. Seeds of the
giant plant are in the Sidney botan-
ical gardens.
Skulls Are Best Possessions.
The highest position among the
head hunters, he said, goes to the one
with the greatest number of skulls.
The shrine OF one chief was embellish
ed with SO of these, he declared. The
motto of these aborigines, Capt. Hur
ley said, is: THE more victims in this
world the more slaves in the next"
The victims were placed in a screen
ed structure which few dared ap-
proach Arms and legs OF the victims
were broken to prevent escape. The
body next morning was cut up and
seasoned with cocoanut for boiling
The natives were frightened by the
airmen, whom they thought to be
devils, and for whom they killed pig
daily. Capt. Hurley also visited the
pigmy people in the mountains and
attended singing competition of the
pigmies which lasted 10 days.

VAST WILDS STILL
ARE UNEMPLOYED
WHITE MANS FOOT HAS NEW
Err TROD IN MANY REMOTE
REGIONS. LURE TO MEN.

In these advanced times it is diff
cult to believe that there still remain
in various parts of the world vast re-
gions where the foot OF white man
has never trod.
But hidden corners OF the world
still hold forth that tang Of romance
which led the conquistadors across
the Atlantic, Peary to the pole, and
hundreds of others into the unknown.
Now the scientists and oil develop
ment men are leading the way in eX-
ploring these great stretches OF the
primitive world.
About one-third OF the earth's sur
face has been brought under the sub
lection OF civilization, and before
long, it is predicted, the whole sur
face will have been explored, chart
ed and claimed.

At Americas very door is the larg-
est unexplored region in the world
the upper basin OF the Amazon, in
South America Many men have up
the Amazon and its tributaries never

Here lies a vast region about which
so little is known as to offer fas-
cinating field for speculation. Some
scientists believe that great prehis-
toric creatures may be found in this
wild region.
Darkest Africa" is term that
evokes ideas of countless miles of
morass and jungle, wild natives, and
wilder animals, but really this CONT
nent has been widely if not thorough
ly explored.
Europe, OF course, is an open book,
but there are sealed pages in Asia.
Waldemar Jachelson, curator OF the
ethnographical museum in the Petro-
grad Academy of Sciences, is world
authority on Asiatic studies.
Asia Has Vast Wilds.
There are some extensive areas in
Asia so little known that they may
be called unexplored," he said. Il do
not mean that no white man has been
into these areas, but that they virtual
ly are a virgin field for the scientist
and student of Asiatic races"
In Malaysia, or the Indo-Australian
region, there are wild, uneXplOred
spots. as IS the case in New Guinea.
Further east and south into the Coral
sea and all the scattered islands OF
the Pacific there are numerous places
where civilized man never goes.

Sugar Beets

Sugar Beets
Idaho's $4,000 tons of sugar beets
are now ready for harvest and 1t is
estimated the yield will average S-34
tons per acre. 1t has been particu-
larry favorable season for beets and
the recent rains will greatly facilitate
digging. There seems to be a good
demand for beet top pasturage which
is now selling at 5000 per acre. Feed
ers have made all arrangements for
feeding the immense amount of beet
pulp that will be available this year
to dairy and feeder stock.
Idaho Produces New Seed Crop
Idaho IS now raising Ladino clover
seed on a commercial scale. Growers
in the Twin Falls and Boise Valley
districts, representing some 20 acres.
have raised $500 pounds and are dis
posing of it as certified and registered
through the Idaho Ladino Clover Seed
Growers Association at Twin Falls.
Ladino clover is priced for permanent
pasture and when we'll managed will
carry from 80 to 40 per cent more
stock than alfalfa, red clover, alsike
clover or white clover and 80 per cent
more than blue grass. On Idaho ir-
rigated land it will carry the equival-
ent of 4 head of mature stock per acre
for OF months. In the eastern states,
Ladino rarely produces seed crop
but in the intermountain states. it
produces from IL to 4 bushels per
acre A field of acres in Twin Falls
county produced 375 pounds per acre
Last year Ladino seed sold for SIS
per pound.
Alfalfa seed averaged bushels per
acre on $4,000 acres for 10000 bushels
There was an increase of some 1000
acres over last year. mostly Grimm in
Twin Falls county. but this was part
ly offset by grasshopper damage. poor
setting of seed, etc in the Rock Creek
and Jerome districts.
