Power From Peanuts.

1t appears that one of the advan-
tages of the oil engine lies in it's abil-
ity to produce power by burning not
only the cheapest grades Of natural
mineral oils and the ~by-products of
coal distillation and coke plants, tar
and c%reosote oils, but also vegetable
and animal oils. Indeed, it can use
peanut oil almost as effectively as min
eral oil. The use of fat oils from veg
etable sources for fuel will, it is pre-
dicted, promote industrial development
in regions where the cost of coal is
prohibitive-in northern Africa, for ex-
ample, and in many parts of our own
country. 1t has been declared that
those oils make it certain that motive
power can still be produced from the
heat of the sun, even when all our nat
ural sources of solid and liquid fuels
are exhausted.

ORIGIN OF "DIXIE LAND"
Name Came From the $40 Bills Issued
Prior to Civil Mar by Citizens
Bank at New Orleans.

The Financial Times of London, in
a review of the history of the Citizens
Bank of Louisiana, at New Orleans,
recalls the interesting origin of the
word Dixie as applied to the South.
1t says:
'"The Citizens bank was so closely
identified with the South that it gave
it the name of Dixie Land since pre-
served in the famous southern war
song, Dixie
1T came about in this way: Prior
to the Civil wal in the States, the
Citizens bank had the power to issue
paper money notes. These bills were
issued in denominations of $40 and
$50, but preferably $40, to the extent
of a few millions. These $40 bills
were engraved in French, and CD the
backs vas the French word Dix (ten)
very prominent, and the Americans liv-
ing along the upper Mississippi river
called the bills Dixies.'
FINALLY, the banks money became
so popular that Louisiana was re-
ferred to as The Land of Dixie or
Dixie Land Afterward the term was
made to apply to all the southern
states. Detroit News.

IN ST. C0LUMBAN'S MEMORY
Great Leader of Christianity
Thirteen Centuries Ago.

The thirteen hundredth anniversary
of the death of ST. Columbian or Co
lumbanus, was celebrated recently at
the town Of Apprentices, where his tomb
is. The proper date was 1915, but in
that year the World war made the
celebration impossible, so 1t was post
poned.
@Columbanus was the apostle of
southern France and northern Italy,
and, indeed, is regarded as the pioneer
of that remarkable movement which
lasted for 200 of the darkest years of
European history, during which Ire
land supplied saints and scholars to
the Western world.
Columbanus with 20 other monks
left the monastery of Bangor, in the
County Down, In 500. After some
vi~cissitudes, they settled at Luxeuil,
where Columbanus founded n Of the
worlds most famous monasteries-the
parent of many other monasteries. For
20 years he ruled it and became one of
the great figures of his day. His de-
nunciation of the vices of the Merov-
ingian monarch Thiery led to his ex-
pulsion from Luxeuil, and after a
further chapter of adventure he set
tied at Bobbio.-Detroit News.

ALL BOILERS DON'T EXPLODE
to Water Pouring Into the
Furnaces.

We often read, or hear, of her boil
ers blowing up" when a steamer found
ers. Indulge yourself in a smile the
next time the expression is used in
your presence. The thing doesn't hap
pen.
A boiler is less likely to burst when
surrounded by water and thus receiv-
ing pressure from the outside than
when exposed to the air and subjected
to the full force of the internal pres
sure caused by the expansion of the
steam.
What really occurs is that the fur
naces are flooded when a steamship
sinks, thus causing a sudden rush of
steam-call it an explosion of steam
and what this may mean can best be
realized by comparison with common
or household crate when the kettle
boils over. Imagine this OIL a gigantic
scale, and a conception can be formed
of the force exerted and the explosion
resulting, although the boilers remain
intact.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Notinn With Cans.

The long-armed ungainly Cossacks
are a peculiar people living their own
lives in their own primitive manner,
and adhering tenaciously to their horse
breeding and trading and their an
cient customs. The word Hetman is
a title given to the commander in
chief of the C~ossacks, annually chosen
from among their number. The proc
ess of selection offers a contrast to
the accidental custom of fguratively
throwing ones hat in the ring as a
sign of willingness to accept the nom
ination to office. Among the Cossacks
it was the custom while in assembly
to throw their fur caps at the candi-
dates for whom they voted, and the
one receiving the greatest number was
declared elected.

She Knew.

At election time the mayor of a west
ern city made a great play for The
women's vote and, of course, if one
wishes TO win the mothers it is good
policy to compliment the daughters.
But one evening the mayor met his
Waterloo for he was so rash as to
compliment a sophisticated high school
girl. what a beautiful complexion
you have cried the mayor. "It is a
gift from heaven" Don't you believe
it," retorted the girl, its nothing but
a steady expense"

John Bull Abroad.

A Frenchman now in this country
tells of the discovery in Paris of the

He Should Worry!

Mrs. Brown was particularly fond Of
reminding her husband that the silver
was hers, the furniture was hers, the
piano was hers, and so On, until poor
Brown wished he hadn't married a
girl with money.
One night Mrs. Brown awoke and
heard strange voices in the lower part
of the house. Punching her husband
in the ribs, she cried:
John, get up! There are burglars
downstairs ~
"Eh?' inquired Brown sleepily.
Burglars downstairs !" shrieked his
wife.
Burglars said Brown, as he
turned over. well, let 'em burglel
There's nothing of mine there!"

TIPS FOR TAXPAYERS
No. q.

Payment for services other than
in money is subject TO the income
tax. The fair market value of the
thing taken in payment is the
amount TO he included in income.
Fer example, the value of mer-
chandise or goods received by a
clerk in part payment for his
services must be reported as in
come. The value OF board and
lodging constitutes taxable income
to the taxpayer receiving it as
compensation for services. The
amount to be included is the
amount he would pay in cash for
similar accommodations.
Promissory notes received . in
payment for services and not
merely as security for such pay
ment constitute income to the
amount of their fair mark ct value.
Compensation paid an employe of
corporation in shares of stock
is to be treated as if the corpora
tfon sold the stock foN its market

Where living quarters. food,
clothing, etc. are furnished solely

time during the twenty four hours
