Secretary Melons calculations, of about
S1S5, 900 900, as against the budget es-
timation of $37.O0o,000. The strong
possibility presents itself of another
substantial reduction in taxation before
next March.
In the fiscal year just ended the
national debt was reduced by S673, 000,-
900 to a total of $ls.931 600 900. Re

year. Generally speaking" Secretary
Mellon ascribes the rise of the revenue
beyond the budget estimations to wide

suits of the reduction Of surtax rates to
a more reasonable point, and more
specifically to increased income realized
on the sale Of capital assets, due, in
the main, to an exceedingly active and

HOrse-Drawn Carriage
Vanishing From Rome

That delight Of tourists In Rome,
the horse-drawn carriage, is appar-
emily doomed to disappear. Two years
ago q undetermined governor de-
creed the abolition of the "botticella,"
or horse carriage, but there was such
a strong protest that the governor
found it expedient to permit limited
number Of carriages to remain in pub
lie service.
Only young and well fed looking
horses were permitted. The cabmen
were compelled to get new vehicles and
to wear a reasonably presentable uni
form. Now a new governor imposes
fresh restrictions which Roman news
papers interpret as the death knell of
the horse carriage. The cabbies may
if they have the cash and the skill-or,
rather, one of every three cabbies may
metamorphoSe into a chauffeur.
The governor rules that for every
three cab licenses surrendered one auto
license will be issued, but that 60 horse
carriages must disappear from the
streets every month. The drivers who
doubtless follow their comrades, whose
nagS were too ancient or whose cos
tunes too seedy to qualify for service

Traffic will be further speeded on

who delighted in the leisurely open
carriage. Among the nourners will be

lvia, since by means Of the rivers
bounding it she may develop means Of
direct communication with the sea, Of
which she has been deprived since 1873,
when Chile took all her ports on the
Pacific Ocean.
Both Claim Rights.
The allegations made by Bolivia and
Paraguay in support of their claims
to the Chaco Boreal are diverse. Bolivia
presents numerous documents, such as
royal cedulaS and deeds to support her
right to this territory, based upon grants
from Spanish colonial times. Paraguay,
on the other hand, claims de facto pos
session, since for many years she has
established possession Of a large part
Of the Chaco, founding small settle
ments, and establishing means OF COM
munication. Although without holding
legal title, the ParaguayanS have gone
on in possession of the southern part
of the Chaco for century and on this
they found their right TO continue to
hold this territory. Bolivia, on the
contrary, due to the great distances
which separate its populated region
from the Chaco and TO the absence OF
means OF communication with IT, PAID
little attention, until comparatively
recent years, to maintaining her SOW
ereigrty over the Chaco.
While the ParaguayanS, nearer to the
Chaco than the Bolivians, easily pene-
trated, little by little. the territory and
went on establishing themselves more
and more firmly, Bolivia gave all her
attention to the other side OF her ter
ritory, on the west, where her coast had
BEEN taken from her, cutting her OF
from communication with the rest Of
the world. Today. when she realizes
the gravity Of the situation and desires
to regain the entire Chaco, 1t would
seem too late. Paraguay already has
made a part of it her own territory.
and without doubt 1t Is useless and
illogical to think 1t possible that she
would withdraw now. when part OF her
citizens are living there, when she Is
developing its resources and when. it
may be said. she has become accustomed
to regard this territory as part OF her
own property.

Hillsides in France
Are Ravaged by Fire

Eyesores on the Mediterranean Coast
of France are the ravaged hillsideS
with black skeletons of trees burned in
forest fires. Wooded land devastated
by fire each year averages 100000 acres.
Now the authorities have issued or
ders for the protection of the remaining
trees which will have some effect until
more scientific measures are used to
prevent and check forest fires. During
the months of June. July, August and
September 1t is forbidden to light fires
within 200 yards of forested areas. and
no land clearing by means Of fire is all
lowed within 400 yards.
Still. very hot Summers offer little
hope for the preservation of trees, as
pine needles warmed by the sun flame
up like matches.

Electric Lamps Lure
Moths to Their Death

Finding that from 80 to 80 per
cent Of the tomato crops in a GER
tain district were ruined by grubs
at the center of the fruit, pro-
lessor Of the chronological insti-
tute in Switzerland had the happy
thought of seeing whether the
moths laying the eggs from which
these larvae were Matched could
be destroyed by electricity.
He installed eight electric lamps,
varying from so to 200 watts,
about three feet from the ground.
The lamps were furnished with re-
Electors directed toward the soil,
and underneath the lamps were
placed basins filled with water on
the top Of which was poured q
little petrol.
The plan proved highly success
full. The moths, attracted and be-
wildered by the lights, were
drowned by thousands in the bowls
beneath the lamps, and as a re-
suit 80 acres yielded perfect fruit,
while neighboring lots of land not
so protected lost from 80 to go
per cent of their crops.
The same method has been tried
with equal success in connection
with melon culture, and the fruit
has been free from worms and
graded as perfect.

county brought in $9S4,846, OF
nearly S1,000,000 for butterfat
last year, Todd county comes for
ward with a figure that rivals Mil
lie Laos for the dairy title.
Three creameries, those at Ber-
tina, Eagle Bend and Clarissa,
which are less than Is miles apart,
did a business in 1928 of $1,120,-
955, according to statisticians here
In other words, three Todd county
creameries in the same sized area
did more business in the same
period than did four creameries in
the Mile Laos county area.
The three creameries named in
the Todd county area do not in
clude the three largest in the
county but were selected because
they are located in an area the
size covered by the Milaca state
ment.
Long Prairie and other commun-
tiles in the county are citing these
figures to show the size of the dairy
business here and also that Todd
county is fast coming to be one of
the great dairy counties in the

Picture Depicts the
First Forms of Life

Scientists generally agree that
the first forms of life originated in
water and an effort to illustrate
this has been made in an oil paint
ing by Charles r. knight Of New
York, which has been placed in
the hall of historical geology Of
the Field Museum of Natural His
tory. The painting is a present by
patron of the Institution. The
artist gave a great deal of time
to scientific investigation before
making the painting. In it he has
portrayed these earliest known
forms Of life as appearing in a
group of pools. Within the waters
Of these pools algae of a blue
green hue are shown In such
quantities as to tint the liquid with
their colors. They also have built
up a series of stony basins. In
other pools cushion-shaped forms
of pink algae are shown. Other
portions of the deposits are seen
to be tinged brown or orange by
algae of the colors. The adjoining
rocks are. represented as being
bare and naked, no other life be-
ing in existence at this time. The
rocks are mostly of black lava,
but some areas of a reddish color
are shown to indicate the great
iron-bear;ng deposits which were
also formed at this time.

Butter Prices Drop Three

Egg Receipts Increase as Season
Advances-Little Change in
Poultry Market

There has been a noticeable
tendency during the past week for.
lower butter selling prices. This
reduction in quotation was more
noticeable in Chicago than New
York. Considerable pressure is
being put forth to keep arrivals of
fresh butter on these Eastern mar
kets going direct into consuming
channels rather than permitting
them to accumulate and receipts
have shown no material increase.
As the season. progresses, how
ever, it is logical to expect that
there will he heavier milk and but

inclination on part of dealers to
keep butter moving through con-

has reached a more settled level.

standards today is as cents, as

FRIDAY last week represent an in
crease of approximately 41,500
cases over same markets and same

The volume of fresh eggs is
materially heavier and is somewhat
in excess of the demands for cur

Englishmen Eat Much
but Few Put on Fat

The English are the leanest race
in the world; one seldom sees fat
Englishman, yet many of them eat
four square meals every day, writes
William Lyon Phelps in Scribner 8
Magazine. And when you do see a
fat Englishman you will find that
he carries his weight remarkably
well.
George Santayana told me new
story of the famous Oscar Brown
ing of Kings college, Cambridge.
He ate seven meals a day. There
are persons who wake up In the
middle Of the night and cannot fall
asleep again until they have eaten
something. But o. B. set his alarm
clock at three in the morning in
order that he might wake and eat
a herring!
Then at seven O'Clock tea and
various eatables were brought to
his bedside. His third meal was
breakfast, at nine, and it was sub
stantial repast. He then ate
nothing till lunch, but he took care
to make up for his prolonged fast.
His fifth meal came at 4:30 and
was high tea, with plenty of food.
He then ate nothing until dinner,
which was q very elaborate af-
fair, in many courses and with a
variety of wines. His seventh and
last meal was a hearty supper,
which he took just before going to
bed. He lived to be eighty-three.
But what is eighty-three? An
English admiral at the age of nine
ty-fOur took a long walk with
some friends. and. apologizing for
his slowness, he cried: "Oh, If ]
were only eighty again! !"

be served. Gone are the funny
little fleets Of "side dishes" that
used to find harbor near our din
ner plates Gone, therefore, is the
necessity for the questions when
we eat vegetables shall we use a
fork or spoon?" For nowadays vege-
tables are usually served with no
juice, and are served on the din
ner plate, either in combination Gas
a vegetable luncheon or dinner) or
with the meat. And then, of course,
we use the fork, or the knife and
fork, if we have adopted the Eu-
&c ,ean way of eating. We should
always use forks, too, for aspara-
gus-not fingers, for it really is too
"drippy." Mrs. Alexander King in

Margaret, Pattens, Fenchurch

Of 1857, and occupies the site Of a
church which was destroyed by
fire.
The name Of the saint to whom
it is dedicated is not Pattens, as
might conceivably be supposed, but
just plain Margaret. The church
owes it's second name to colony
of pattern makers who formerly
dwelt Whereabouts.

Power Of Color.

Advertising men know a great
deal about color psychology. Pur-
pie and royal blue lend an air Of
aristOcracy to printed matter. That
is why you often find expensive au-
tomobiles or high-priced securities
presented to prospective buyers In
elaborate circulars printed in these
colors and in gold, which is also
aristOcratic. Red, the advertising
men say, is a selling color. 1t has
a tendency to excite the acquisitive
instinct in men and women. Can
dies in red boxes sell best.
Expensive perfumes sell marvellous
ly in purple, gold and blue con-
tanners. A very red dress on a
beautiful young woman will often
bring the proposal that was with
held for months when more quiet
cOlOrs were worn, these advertising
experts, all men, tell us.-Capper's

Exchange Offer Made
Great Painter Gasp

W. P. Firth, royal academician, was
painting in the country one sum-
mer, living in cottage owned by
a nice old woman who often used
to watch him paint. There was a
rush-bottomed chair which he used
for his work and to which he be.
came quite attached. 1t wasn't
worth more than 80 cents-a lot of
money in those days-and when
he was leaving Firth offered the
dear old lady 5 shillings ($1.2O
for it.
"But she said No., chuckled
Firth, relating the incident to Ju-
liam Hawthorne, "she couldn't think
of rObbing me, but she'd be per-
fectly content if I'd take the chair
in exchange for one of my little
'picters' 70
Which took Frith's breath away
for minute-the little picters
would easily sell for a thousand
dollars or more-but he got out of
it somehow and carried off the
chair, too.-Kansas City Times.

Solar Systems Movement

The solar system is travelling at
the rate of about 100000 miles a
day in the general direction of the
constellation Hercules, or, more
exactly, the boundary between Her
cules and Lyra. The stars in these
consultations are not all at the
same distance from the solar sys-
tenn, and no fixed point can be set
at which the sun will arrive at
a specified time. Observations have
net been continued over a long
enough period to determine wheth-
er the sun is moving through space
in straight line or along curved
line.
