Brown Leghorn chickens have
bought Kansas farm for Lee Smith
and his wife the last few years and
have provided them with little
money Ia lend to neighbors not SO
fortunte. Smith arrived in Kansas n
few years ago and took job az farm
hand. He said his wife decided they
could make living with their
chickens and everything else they got
would be a clear gain. In the winter
they keep 500 hens from which they
coax 50 per cent egg production dur
ing January and February when the
price Is high. They have found out
how to keep the flock producing, and
the chickens virtually have bought a
farm for this Industrious young

The ordinary fruit stand banana is
grown chiefly In Jamaica. Costa Rica
and other parts OF tropical America.
Some attempt has been made to grow
them in California. Louisiana and in
other states with warm climates, but
this IS more or less OF an experiment
because the plant cannot endure the
slightest frost. AS novelty. few
banana plants have borne fruit in
colder clinics. but under special pro-
lection. IT is interesting to- note that
the best and most tasty bananas are
not known TO most of us because
they are too perishable to ship any
distance In the East Indies there are
bananas that grow over n foot long
and about two inches thick. These
are not exported. but arc used for
home consumption. ,,si s4ssd

 the big blizzard Of March li, l2. is, 1888. The |. <. weather man states
 that in his opinion the snow win not amount to a great deal this time and
 that it will clear before morning.
 Thirtr-siX years ago the heaviest
 snowfall in this section that had oc-

Sends Congress Special Message Requesting All Other Business Be Laid Aside For Its Consid- eration
Declares Public Welfare Would Be Much Ad- vanced by Such Action and Hopes for Unanimous Consent.

Washington, March l1.-Prt sid ent Coolidge today sent a special ,uessare Q to congress recommending a reduction oi 70 per cent on income taxes for 1925 10 be authorized before March 15.
 The president believes that the inn portance of the reduction will justify The laying aside of all other legislative business for it's onsideration.
 The text of the message follows:
 Tt has been my earnest hope that q @5 per centum reduction in taxes to be paid for tho current year might be provided by law before the 9th of March current.
 Many people have been expecting that such would be the case and de- icrred their tax returns accordingly. Ii is a matter of such imminent i'm. portancc that l have no hesitation in recommending that the public welfare would be much advanced by tcmpor- ariy laying aside all other legislation and cnacting Il resolution for this pur- pose which ought to be lby unanimous consent.
 "Tho taxpayers, the business inter- csts' agriculture, industry, finance, in ! fact all the elements that go to mako i, up the econ mic welfare Of the people | Of America would bV greatly benefited l by such action.'
 Tt would remove an element Of un- certainty from the current financial year at once which would be q strong stmulant 10 business with its resultant benefit to the wage earncr and the agriculture of our country.
 "lt is impossible to sec that any harm @onid accrue from this action and there is every prospect of result ing benefits which would be very great.
 "lt would be n positive step in the right direction, which is more needed al this time to justify the confidence of the people that the government is intent solely on the promotion Of the ' public welfare without regard to any collateral objects"
