Supreme Court
Gives Important
Rulings on Taxes

Collector of Internal Revenue Rex
B. Goodcell received yesterday from
Washington the text of some recent
decisions of the supreme court, in
on of which a ruling was handed
down stating that under the provi-
sions of the revenue act, non-resi-
dent citizens of the United States
whose income issderived wholly, from
the ownership of property situated
in foreign country, may be. taxed
for income tax purposes, and the
tax collected ss1A IS '-sAF @ss% e'
Another ruling received by Col
lector Goodceil provides that the pro
ceeds of a policy of insurance upon
the life of an officer of a corpora
ton paid to the corporation us ben
eficiary are not taxable as income.
The supreme court also ruled
that person who has the right
to the permanent use of box in an
opera house who sells the right to
use such box for more than so cents
in excess of the established price
for such box is liable to the dax of
SO per cent of the amount of such
excess, and that where person
has the right to the permanent use
of such box the "established price -
for the purpose of taxation is the
price charged for the most nearly
similar accommodations

Exchange Value
Farm Products
Is Much Higher

The exchange value of farm pro-
duets for the things that farmers
buy now stands at the highest ,ppint
in nearly four years, Hdeelafes the
United States Department of Agri
culture IN its nlbhtAly. "a agriculture
review issued todays J sS+ss 4 y ~
Such Improvement as the situa-
tion shows is attributed to the con-
tinued slow decline in prices of
non agricultural commodities at the
same time that agricultural pro-
ducts, have held their own. The
department s index of the purchas-
ing power of farm products i'll terms
of other commodities is II for May
using the year 1913 as base or
100.
Thet-corn crop now occupies a
conspicuous place. on the agrlcultur-
al stage, and promises TO be plv-
otal factor in the entire meat and
dairy situation of 1925, the de
partment says. Wheat growers are
reported to be in a somewhat more
cheerful frame of mind over the re
cent advances i'll wheat, due 10
smaller prospective world crop.
Conditions on the Pacific coasi
are regarded as one decided fly IL
the ointment. Drought in that see
ton has cut heavily into the gram
crops and feed, while fruits in the
northwest have also been damaged
by frosts and drought. The citrus
crops arc reported as in good con-
dition.

KATHLEEN M'KANE
BRITISH PLAYER
BEATS AMERICAN
California Girl Loses,
Winning First Set
of Three
by United Press Lepsed Wire

WIMBLEDON, England, July s.
Helen Wills of California, lost her
chance to win the tennis champion
ship of the world for women here
yesterday.
Miss Wills, American woman ten
mis- champion, was made favorite
over Miss Kathleen McKane, rank
ing English player, for their final
match in the Wimbledon champion
ships.
Miss McKane beat the California
girl in the recent Whightman cup
matches, however, and many British
tennis enthusiasts were backing her
chances.
In the first set the California girl
completely outplayed and outgen-
eraled Miss McKane who made sew
eral double faults, but the latter in
flashes of brilliance took three
straight love games from Miss Wills.
The American served the first set.
Instead of gaining confidence af-
ter winning on her service, Miss
Wills seemed uncertain of herself
in the second set, but was outdriving
her opponent in the first half while
the English woman kept on the de-
fensive, unable to handle the Ameri-
can s smashing G.iives.
The set score: 46, Cd, Ga.

not. lay, having withdrawn this

Removal of Ban
Sends Many Cars
to the Yosemite

The number Of cars coming into
Yosemite via the Tioga road has
shot up rapidly in the past few
days as a result Of the removal of
all quarantine restrictions by the
state of Nevada ten days ago. All
restrictions within the California
boundaries were taken off num-
Der of days earlier, and now there
is not the slightest interruption to
travel to the. valley on the Tioga
road, either from Southern Caalifor-
MIA via Mojave, Bishop and Mono,
or from Northern California via
Lake Tahoe, Minden, Bridgeport
and Mono, or from Nevada and
points east.
The Tiogga road normally does
not open until between July l and
Is, consequently due to its earlier
opening this season, and in spite Of
recent quarantine restrictions, to-
tai travel over this road this year
will far exceed the totals of all pre-
vious seasons.
This is considered the most scenic
route of all to Yosemite, as it links
Tahoe and Yosemite and traverses
the marvellous "back country of
the high Sierras. 1t is a master
piece of high mountain road en-
gineering and construction and is
in splendid shape. The trip can
be made either from or to Yose-
mite, although more ears have en-
tered the valley by this route than
have departed over it, to date.

Desert Plants
Are Fortified
In Bitter Fight

NEW YORK, July 5.-The COM
grows bush from four to ten
feet above the ground, has roots
that go down i'll the sand some 20
or 30 feet and spread out in every
direction. These roots have bark
that is very thick, pulpy, and wa
ter-holding. These are the reser-
voirs that gather and store water
the wet season and feed it out
slowly to the plant above ground
in the dry season. The leaves are
thin and small, they have a way
of hanging edgewise to the sun to
prevent evaporation, and they are
shellacked or vanished so that not
a drop of moisture can escape
through them.
Strangest of all is the device of
this bush to ward off browsing de-
sert animals. The leaf holds sap.
To the taste it is violently acid
and astringenJ. The Indians use
it to cauterize bullet wounds or
cuts. When swallowed it proves not
only emet1c but cathart1c. III is
poison. Not an animal on the de-
sert will touch it.
The wild gourd has reservoir
like an enormous turnip; another
plan has half-wooden bulb, look
ing a hornet S nest, that is wa
ter holder. Every one of the growths
has a bitter sap, and every one of
them is armed with spines, thorns,
shap points. 1t is impossible to
touch them without being pierced.
Everything on the desert has to be
fortified or it will quickly perish
for all places on earth it is ore
of savage conflict. The struggle
for existence there is fierce, hence
the development OF peculiar charac
ter through conflict and the strong
impulse to survive.

Hudson Dealers
Yearning For
Hot, Hot Days

"This warm weather means
everything to business.
"What we need is miflion-dol-
lar stretch of good warm days. One
week of summery weather would
easily be worth fortune to the To-
cal motor trade.
That is the opinion of p. L. Moore
of the Imperial Valley Finance
Corporation, Hudson Essex distribu-
tors. In the six months since Jan
uary /, we have done business in
an amazing volume, but he declares
that warm weather will prove a
wonderful further stimulus.
"Our own concern would be ben
efitted indirectly rather than di-
rectly,'' said Mr.. Moore, "because
with our great proportion of en-
closed ears Hudson and Essex sell
Just about as good one season as
another.
'GBut we know that many of our
logical customers-merchants, and
business men of all sorts-have
been under an unusual strain this
spring because the weather has
kept them from their usual fine
trade. Give these men a week or
ten days of fine weather, and you III
have the shelves empty, and an un-
precedented rush of business. And,
having money these business men
will spend it, so that business Will
loosen up all along the line.
"Because we have had quiet
spring, we should all have good
business right along into July and
August. There is a great deal of
accumulated buying to do.
sgWe have just received the in
teresting news from the Hudson
Motor Car Co. that despite bad
weather and all, they have sold al
ready nearly as many Essex cars
as in all of 1924. This is right on
schedule, as it had been the Hudson
program this year to produce and
sell twice as many Essex ears this
wear as last. The public has step
ned right in and take them. Ttfs
"Certainly the Essex six has
been one of the real sensations OF
the year.
