Melons Bad Guess

Andrew W. Mellon doesn't make many bad GUESS
es, but his estimate of the March income tax pay
mcnt quite bit off.
The secretary of the treasury had guessed that
The March receipts would reach $4OOOOO OOO second

guess appears t. be about $45OOOOOOO. II the last
guess natures, and. according to the way the money
is pouring in it should receipts from this source for
the current fiscal year should go we'll above 81 $780,
100000
Receipts for the fiscal year CT 1925 were 81 $780,
100000, and that may be somewhere near the figure
for this year.
Mr. Mellon was little too bearsh on American
prosperity.
During the recent debt negotiations says Mellon,
it found that many peasants in of the small
countries were living on about $3l a year 1t is
up to America to increase that standard of living
so American ships can carry bit mere cargo when
making for those ports. The way to do this, Mel
lon believes, is by helping the foreign nations to get
their feet The present debt settlements, he says
the best that could be obtained, short Of force
and should be pressed "firmly but gently
Mellon pleads for common sense, nc. sentiment in
the settlements. He likens the United States the
most important creditor Of embarrassed firm.

Peace and Joy
Drab and Dull and Dark Are Spent;
Gone is the Winter Of Our Discomfort"


With this cry green and gold Easter, Sun
splashed and flowerdycd, the most joyous of all our
holidays!
The JOY of the Eastertidc is to the Christian the
joy Of the empty tomb and risen living savior of
fering life, and life abundant
1t is the joy of the promise Of life everlasting and
reunion with loved from whose tombs the stone,
too, shall be rolled away!
But the JOY Of Easter is older thing than
Christianity itself. 1t mocks the narrow confines Of
religious creed, 1t Genes on dancing feet arms
outstretched and teeming with the gifts from ma
lures cornucopia, and says
Easter is for you and you and you, whatever you
believe. whatever you fear whatever you yearn for
and whatever is your joy"
For Easter is really the paean CT all the children
OF the earth to the Sun God. Our day for thanks

Spring again! The cycle of life has turned ancth-

law is life, and life is law--that the blossom OF
spring shall forever follow the drab dead leaf of
winter and that birth shall follow death, and death
shall follow birth surely as the fruit shall ripen

The peace and joy in this message Of certain LAW
