as the persons usually find their
lots to be inferior.
In most cases the lots are of lit
tie or no value. Land worth a few
dollars an acre is plated into lots
and foisted off on those not ac-
quainted with the situation at a
rate Of hundreds of dollars an acre.
A lady in Racine sent back a
pretty clever reply to these
schemes. She got letter telling
here she had won a lot worth $780,
She informed the company that as
long as they were in the real estate
business she would be glad to have
them dispose Of the lot for her at
the price of $3.50 and pay her $500
and keep the difference. She never
received reply to that letter.

A PROBLEM IN COWS

This story of dividing a herd OF
cows is not new, but it may inter-
est those who have not heard it.
Anyway, it is a neat problem in
trick mathematics.
A farmer died possessed of herd
of II cows. of which he willed his
wife one-half, his son one-third,
and his daughter one-ninth. The
executor of the will was stumped,
but called a mathematical shark to
his aid, with this happy result:
A cow was borrowed from a
neighbor, making Is. The widow
was given 9, which was one-half;
the son got 6, which was his one
third; then the daughter received 2,
or one-ninth. This totalled II, the
number to be divided, while the
borrowed COW was left. She was re-
turned to her owner, and everybody
was satisfied.

INCREASE OF TAXES
BY u. S. FORECAST.
Congressional G. o. p. Lead
ers Agree Government
Must Obtain Revenue
WHO WILL PAY THE BILL
Plan Will Be Formulated by
the Democrats Who Con-
troll House

Washington, Nov. II - Congress
sional Republican leaders capitu-
lated today to the administrations
conviction that taxes must be
raised to bridge the yawning gap
of a billion-dollar treasury deficit.
Tax revision at the coming ses-
sion of congress became certain
with announcements from Senator
Watson, of Indiana, the Republi-
can leader, and Chairman Smoot, of
the senate finance committee that
increased levies are unacceptable"
Watson, who had strenuously OPP
posed tampering with the tax laws
at this session, reached his decision
after a talk with President Hoover
during which it was said finances
We're discussed. Later it became
known the administration will pre-
sent plan at the outset of the
session.
Democrats, who probably will
control the house, where revenue
legislation must originate, are still
formulating their plans. There is
a conviction at the capitol that the
party will sanction some form of
new taxation.
The decision for tax revision
brought fresh demands from all
quarters, including Watson and
Smoot, for rigid reduction of gov
ernmental expenditures.
Senator Borah Republican of
Idah, pointed to the extensive cuts
made recently by England and
added:
eff the governments of the world
had a particle of sincerity on the
question of disarmaments, and
only millions but billions could be
saved in that way in the next five
years"
How to raise the new revenue
through taxation-who is going to
pay-became the big question.
The concensus among Republic
cans and Democrats was that rates
must be boosted on the larger in
comes; and on estate taxes. That
much seems almost certain.
Watson and Smoot favored a gen.
eral sales tax but agreed congress
would reject such proposal.
There was much talk of restor-
alton of some wartime excise taxes
but there was no agreement.
The Republican independents
who hold the balance of power in
the new congress have united upon
a program of higher income rates
in the big money brackets; higher
estate tax rates, and restoration of
the gift tax. Democrats also are
believed to be leaning toward such
a program.
Senator Tess, of Ohio, Republi-
can chieftain, predicted in letter
to a constituent that these steps
would be followed. Fees opposed
the sales tax and believed some ex-
else rates, applying on so called
luxuries, would be levied.
Senator Couzens, of Michigan, a
Republican member Of the finance
committee, favors higher income
taxes and estate rates and Is willing
to consider selective sales taxes linn
tied to luxuries.
An attempt to reduce the exemp-
lions and bring more earners within
range of the income tax was consid
cred probable.
1t is believed the treasury must
resort to another bond issue as well
as to new sources of tax revenue
to meet this years deficit.

About Chickens

Don't keep hens: Let hens keep
you!
There is a tendency now that cold
weather has set in to overcrowd hen
houses. Guard against this. Crowd
ing breeds disease and results in
low producing flocks.
See, also, that your memories are
well ventilated. Hens, like all
creatures, that breathe, need fresh
air.
If you notice a hen with roup. a
cold or bronchitis, take it out of
the flock Immediately. It can con-
taminate all the birds.
Here's the famous five-point
chicken ration that is guaranteed
to bring better egg yields; 100
pounds of ground yellow corn; 100
pounds of ground oats; 100 pounds
of bran; 100 pounds of flour mid
dlings; 100 pounds of good grade
beef scraps; Is pounds of finely
ground steamed meal and five
pounds of salt. 100 pounds of
ground wheat can be substituted
for middlings. These should be
mixed together and the mash plac-
ed in self-feeders.
In addition, two ounces Of scratch
feed (corn, wheat and oats) should
be thrown to each hen every day.
The wheat should be fed in the
morning, the corn and oats about
P. M. Always feed scratch in
deep litter to make hens exercise.
Such a bill of fare appears ex-
pensive but experience has taught
that the return in eggs due to it Is
much greater than the extra cost.
It would seem that hen Is the
only creature that can lay down or
the job and produce satisfying re-
suits.

there were 1852 acres of tobacco

BUILD ROADS NOW

Those areas which build sec.
ondary roads now will be the
centers Of agricultural and small
town prosperity in the near
future.
OF all the farmers problems,
none is more serious than the
lack of year-round passable
roads, and none is more easily
and cheaply corrected. Second
ary roads add the real value to
main arteries of travel. A state
or county may have the finest
trunk highway in the world-but
it is of little use to 8 farmer who
lives a mile or FIVE miles away,
on an unimproved dirt road that
becomes impossible with the
coming of rain and frost.
Adequate roads. suitable for
all ira ffic. can be built and main.
tanned inexpensively. Local ma
terials. Unanimously treated,
make surfaces impervious TO rain
or snow. In this period of
plentiful labor and low construc
tion costs. almost all communi
ties should be able to provide
good roads for their residents.
In the past, many narrow Sec
ondary roads have been built
from a mistaken idea of economy.
These are considered a menace
by all authorities because it is
dangerous to run a wheel off the
road shoulder. Full width roads
cost but little more and are much
cheaper in the long run.-The
Manufacturer.

SAVE SILVER

The Senate resolution which
recon mended that the President
take steps to open negotiations
with other countries in an effort
to prevent the practice of debas
ing silver coinage, and to pre-
vent violent fluctuations in the
price of silver. may have point
ed the way toward a partial so
luton of our mining problem.
Country after country, says
the Great Falls, Mont. Tribune,
has gone to the gold standard
but there is grave doubt that
the business of the world can be
carried on with gold alone. 10
the meantime silver coinage, so
far as it's purchasing power in
the world markets is concerned,
has been going steadily down
ward. A short time ago the
price of silver dropped to the
lowest point in our history.
Silver affects the financial
problem of the entire world, in,
ternational trade and domestic
industrial conditions. The prob
lem must be solved-and perhaps
a conference of nations will be
the way out of the difficulty.
