How to Print With Linoleum

is best to experiment on an old rag so as to be proficient tn this method of printing.
 Every print must be clear. sharp. and distinct, and this Is enly accom- plished when the cut fs always uni formly linked and when it is always uniformly pressed upon the cloth. Bet ter results will undoubtedly be ob- tained when a number of sheets of paper are placed below the cloth. Then it will produce better and more even contact with the cut as it Is pressed downward.
 Very attractive combination patterns for borders, centres and corners may be produced, and this with very little artistic skill. In fact, it is not at all necessary to draw original designs. They may be borrowed or copied from books, magazines or illustrated art journals.
 Not only are these 1inoleum stamps

Making Syrup
 From Corn Stalks

A GOOD cooking syrup can be made A from sweet corn stalks It can be put on the market and meet com- petition with molasses, and the aver age corn cannery has available materi- al for the making of from 30,000 to so,o00 gallons of this syrup per year. according to Dr. J. J. Willaman of the Minnesota Section Of the American Chemical Society.
 Two years ago the Minnesota Legis- lature made a special appropriation, at the instance of the tanners and grow CTS of sweet corn, for Investigating the syrup making possibilities of sweet corn stalks as a by-product activity of the canneries. The investigations were concluded last summer by the Division of Agricultural Biochemistry, Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station.
 Besides finding out the best way of making palatable syrup from the corn stalk juice the investigators made a thorough study of the chemistry of the corn plant, working with five varie- ties of sweet corn and two of field. It was found that if the stalks are left standing after the removal of the ears for the cannery, there is a marked increase in sugars in the juice.

Get up in the morning when dawn's still gray;
Work in smoke and heat,

Stumble home at nightfal yer achin' feet!
Who cares how you feel?
Gotta have the steel!
Sack you in miunte if you make squea:

G'wan you get your pay,

Twelve hours a day!
Work-and hit the hay,
Hardly see your children, get no play.

Listen, while speak,
There amt any Sunday in a steel-mans week!
Sleep, and work and then
Do the again.

Sweat 'em out of labor on a twelve hour day!

WE PROGRESS FASTER
THAN WE REALIZE.

The man who operated the worlds
first electric street car still Is living
and on the job. He is Walter B.
Eubank, motormau in Richmond,
Va.
Eubanks gave the signal that
started the first electric street car.
He also collected the first nickel
fare.
The man who paid that first fair
was William A. Boswell. His nickel
is exhibited in a New York museum.
Eubank, veteran motorman, has
been responsible for the safety Of
more than 6 million passengers. And
never has had a serious accident in
connection with his work. He has
Travelled 100000 miles on street
cars. Consider this long distance and
the vast number of passengers
transported without fatalities or
serious injuries, and you will rea-
lie the great Importance and con-
slant nerve-tense vigilance of the
men who run our street cars.
Yet we rarely give them thought
along any concrete expression of
thanks. Pass the cigars occasional
ly, brothers. And don't forget the
motorman's team-w worker, the con-
ductor.
We progress faster than any of
US realize. 1t may surprise you
to know that the worlds first cleo
trio street car made its initial trip
only little over 35 years ago.
That trip ushered in an era of
long distance travelling.
There had, of course, been horse
cars previously. But it was the
electrict street car that accustomed
US to frequent long trips.
They were novelties at first, those
electric cars. Millions can recall the
day when one way Of having bang
up good time in the evening was to
take a ride to the end of the car line
at city limits, with the girl who
wore funny hat over her huge
pompadour, the night breeze rush
ing fragrantly at the open sides of
the cars, while the conductor NOV
ed along the side and collected tie
fare. Do you remember the rush
for those cars?
At first it was lark, real sport,
to ride in street car. The novelty
wore off rapidly. While every one
wanted a seat in the old days, the
experience of riding on a street
car was novel enough to be a pleas
ure even when the passenger had
to stand land pretend he was GO
ing to fall off, when the car
rounded a curve).
Alas! watch the same person
scowl and hear him grimble when
ne has to stand today, in the pack
ed street car.
We tire of things-Oh, so quick
Iy! The thrill of today is the mo-
notony of tomorrow.

WHO PAYS
THE TAXES

Who will benefit most by re-
peal of the tax equalization law
To answer that question we must
know WHO PAYS THE TAXES.
There are approximately 100000
taxpayers in the state. At cleo
ton time the politician tells the
farmers they are paying the tax.
Later he says to the voters in the
cities that they pay the taxes.
Georgia's tax muddle will never
be settled until we know who pay
the taxes AND WHERE THAT
MONEY GOES AFTER 1T is PAID
INTO THE STATE TREASURY.
Once those two facts are ascer-
tanned, then progress can be made
in writing a tax law, PROVIDED
capable men are given sufficient
time to go thoroughly into the sub
ject.
A satisfactory tax law will never
be written in the turmoil, bick-
ering and trading of a session of
the legislature, with each Of the
members introducing his own pet
theories, lobbying, trading and fill
clustering in an attempt to put his
measure across.

gia for 1922, according to Comp
troller General Wright's report,
