Gas Tax Collections
To Exceed Estimates,
Early Figures Show

Collections of gasoline taxes for
the last three months of 1928, for
the first quarter under the new rate
Of three cents per gallon, have reach
ed $742, 334.37, it was stated Tues
day by William B. Harrison, tax
clerk in the comptroller generals
office. Mr.. Harrison estimates that
$4,000 is still Unpaid,
This large collection indicates that
the new tax will pay the state con-
siderably more than the $3,000,000
per annum anticipated when the
Mann bill was passed. as the months
of October, November and Decem-
Der are the slightest in the year in
the consumption of gasoline. The
second and third quarters, including
the months Of April, May, June,
July, August and September, are
the heaviest in the year.
The sum of $4S, 1888 has been
collected since the gasoline tax was
distributed on January 10. This
amount has been added to the COLI
lections for the present quarter, and
will be distributed on April 15, with
the January, February and March
collections. One-third Of the total re-
ceipts goes to the state for payment
of the w. anad r. rental notes; one
third goes to the state highway de-
partment, and one-third goes to tbs
various counties for road and brides
work, on a road mileage basis.

her yeast, having the dry to begin
with and using potatoes and hop
blooms. Though l never learned

The pieces in The Journal are sc
good and when it tells all about

Here Is my recipe for yeast cakes
Many Of my neighbors make good
rolls and bread by saving q piece OF
the dough and using it instead of q
yeast cake. They call it Friendship
yeast. But I make batch Of yeast
cakes and when thoroughly dry /
put them in q glass jar, screw down

cake that you are sure is alive, and
can't get one from a neighbor, buy
! one from your grocer. Remember
| the cakes you get from your grocer
will not keep very long, so try tC
make your yeast the day you get
| the new cake.
Yeast Cake-Two boiled Irish po-
! tatoes of medium size, mashed fine
a heaping tablespoonful of sugar,
| one cup of the water that the potato
was boiled in, one yeast cake, flour
to make a stiff dough. Mix this
thoroughly and let it stand over

size mix in enough meal to make
stiff dough. Roll out and cut with
biscuit cutter. Dry in the shade.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: I saw in The

raisers ana what luck they had. l
am siXty.one years old and have
been in bad health for over two
years, want to say l have raised
nineteen turkeys this year. had
only two hens Of mixed breed, but
had a full stock bronze gobbler, and
they are mighty fine turkeys. (HaVe
been raising turkeys eighteen years.
MY turkeys have large range, and
that is what it takes to raise them.
Thought you might be able to raise
some on the acre that you have. We
have had rain here all the year, and
some people around here have failed
to raise turkeys. But several be-
sides myself have raised some.
read your letter every time In
The Journal, and sure enjoy your
talks on chickens and everything
you write dpOuJ. WOulu IKE very
much to meet you personally and

This has been a bad season for

We have grazed hogs for con-

hogs to grow vigorously and mature

some grain in addition. About two

be fed in dry form in a trough.

board and lodgings, and by old
friends who suddenly remembered
when they happened to be in their
town. how they loved the Goats and
hated to pay for their own beds and
meals.
Any one Of their many acquaint-
ances who wished to take vacation
without expense, or have an opera
ton performed, or go to the opera,
or see the sights Of the city, just
wished himself or herself on the
Goats, and arrived bag and baggage
to camp in the spare bedroom. And
that was all there was to it; pleas
ant and economical arrangement so
far as the guests were concerned.
And if it was inconvenient to the
Goats and they he'd to sleep around
on cots and do without new clothes
to pay for the food that the dead
beats gobbled up, why, nobody both
cred about that. And the Goats
never bleated.
They never made a move to chuck
these grafters out, not even when
rich Cousin Susan, who could have
bought the family up a hundred
times over, came and stayed six
months, wore Mother Goat to a fraz-
zle requiring to be waited on and
ran them into debt because she
couldn't eat anything but the most
expensive foods. No, they Felt that
it would be a stain on their escutch-
con to assert themselves and look
out for themselves a little, and so
they lived up to the Goat coat-of-
arms, which is a doormat couchant,
with everybody trampling over it,
By and by the eldest Miss Goat
got married. Her husband proved
to be a bumptious, egotistical, opin-
donated fellow, and when he was
about the whole Goat family had to
walk on eggs and suppress all Of
their own opinions and tastes to
avoid irritating him. Indeed, when
their daughter married the Goats
acquired new son, as the phrase
goes, because every Sunday and on
high days and holidays the young
couple arrived to take dinner with
papa and mamma. 1t was so sweet
to be all together at such times. and
it was also so economical and saved
them the work and worry.

Beginning Again

Beginning Again
Beginning again with burning zeal
To complete what was left half
wrought,
With deep gratitude for the treasur.
ed veal
Which the treasured old year
brought;
For the heart which found the whole
years round
With the choicest blessings
fraught.
Beginning again on the same old
tasks
That grow dearer each passing
year,
Renewing fires Of a love that asks
But to serve in a. lowly sphere;
For that work is new a whole life
through,
Which the heart holds truly dear.
Beginning again with strong be-
lief
That the right shall subdue the
wrong,
Bestowing at length the assured re-
lief,
For which all the ransomed long;
For. the power Of fight shall put to
- flight
Evirs myriad, loathsome throng.
Beginning again with a clearer view
OF the lofty summit ahead,
Inspired by hope that is born anew
For a climb that the faithless
dread,
Within a calm repose in Him who
knows
Ev'ry thorn our feet must tread.
Beginning again, pressing near the
side
Of the soul cheering friends Of old,
Whose virtues the quivering heat
has tried
And found true as the purest gold:
And whose friendship strong, the
journey long,
With Increasing strength shall
hold.

to offer up as a burnt offering her

who labors in an office all day to

family, and who comes home at night

But Nanny is beginning to show

why she should work to feed a lot
of bum company who sponge on
them instead of paying their own
board somewhere. She doesn't see
why she should spend her Sundays
