Well" answered Uncle Wiggily,
you and Mr. Whitewash might stay
here at the seashore for few days.
I'm not sure that we will want TO

"FaWns are odorless and have

.'They remain odorless, for six
weeks, so that coyote and bear cam
not scent them. If they are dis

Gle Wiggily had said he thought
this jolly noise was made by Mr..
WhiteWash, the Polar Bear, and
Mr.. Stubtail, the brown bear ia
ther of Neddie and Beckie.
"Yesl Here they GOMEZ" shouted
Uncle Wiggily and around the cor
ner of a big mulberry tree came
marching Mr.. Stubtail and Mr..
Whitewash, their paws linked to-
gether as if they were holding arms.
They were laughing, shouting, roar
ing and singing. This was what they
sang as they ambled along:
I'VE are two jolly, jolly bears. As
happy as can be. We're going to pull
Uncle Wiggily's new shack down TO
the bright, blue seal"
With that Mr.. WhiteWash and
Mr.. Stubtail took hold of the two
ropes that Uncle Wiggily had fas-
tened TO the front box of his sea-
shore shack that was made Of many
boxes fastened together like a train
of cars on roller skate wheels.
Are you ready TO be pulled?'
asked Mr.. WhiteWash
Because we are ready TO pull

shouted Uncle Wiggily to his forty
leven sixteen children and his wife
and Nurse Jane.

Writer Sane When
Book Was Written

PARIS, Aug. IL. U.P)-Guy de-
Maupassant was not insane when he
wrote his novel, 1.-The Horla,' &C
cording to his valet, Francois, who
is now 78.
Monsieur was perfectly lucid at
the time he wrote the book in Aug
ust. 1887" Francois said. The idea
for the novel was inspired by a
conversation he had with a man
who told him of a man who felt
himself going insane. Maupassant
said the idea for the novel was
strange and would intrigue the
reader.'
When he sent it to the publisher
he told rfk,cois that before one
week had passed the whole of Paris
WOULD be saying he was crazy. 1t
was not until 1891, however, four
years later, that de Maupassant be-
gan to feel insanity creeping over
him. When the writer realized that
he could no longer retain his right
state of mind, he tried to commit
suicide by cutting his throat.

NO INCOME TAX

GOVERNOR ROLPH'S decision not to
u sign the income tax measure will
meet with more approval than condem-
nation, throughout the state.
An income tax might be desirable if it
were placed upon incomes sufficiently
high but under the plan as outlined in
the measure the burden of such tax
would fall most heavily on the little
fellow'-the man of moderate means.
With all the other taxes he pays, and
in particular with sales tax just i'm
posed upon him, an income tax would be
just about the final straw
The measure received considerable sup
port from farm organizations, something
that is rather difficult to understand,
inasmuch as the none too prosperous
farmer would be called upon to pay the
greater part of it.
Belief that the income tax would
soak the rich" is a fallacy This truth
has been forcibly and somewhat painful
ly demonstrated through the testimony
of j. P Morgan and others in the feder
al income tax inquiry held by the SEN
ate.
A state income tax would find those
VINO nave wealth. HoluiHg TIE Sieaeei Pai'
of it in tax-exempt securities and bonds.
The man of moderate means would have
a heavy slice taken out of his salary and
i'm such amounts that it would work
real hardship upon him. The sales tax,
spread out over every purchase, IS in
convenient but as it calls for only small
sums it is not so noticeable as large
sum taken at one time.
There may be many plaints-some
real, some imaginary--to be lodged against
the governor, but the big majority will
feel he is right in not signing the income
tax measure.

CUBA OUR BUSINESS

QY THE time this appears in print it is
Dmore than probable that Gerado Ma
chado will be an ex-president of Cuba,
in fact If not in theory.
The pressure against Machado is too
great for him to withstand, and yester-
days revolt of portion of the army
clinches the dictate that he must GO.
Up to this stage the part the United
States has played has been limited to the
activities of Ambassador Welles and the
beneath the surface" pressure which
the American government and American
interests in Cuba have been able to bring
TO bear against Machado.
Many Americans, not any too familiar
with American history, wonder why this
country should take any part at all in
the Cuban controversy. Their belief is
that we should let Cuba alone to solve
its own internal problems and that by not
doing so we are meddling in affairs
which do not concern US.
This is not exactly true for Cuba and
Cuban affairs are part of our business,
due to the so-called Plat amendment to
the Cuban constitution adopted in 1901.
Among other things the Plat amend
ment provides: that the Cuban gov
eminent consents that the United States
may exercise the right to intervene for
the preservation of Cuban independence
and to maintain a government capable of
protecting life, property and individual
liberty"
Cuba has not been having a govern
nent capable of protecting life, proper
ty and individual liberty for many
months Unless the United States wish
DC RI consider tho Platt amendment ga
scrap of paper, it must step in and
straighten things out when Cuba messes
them up as it has done in the present
instance.

TWO TYPES OF LICENSE CONTROL DUTCH SALES

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 228.-Licens- ing of the liquor trade is Hollands method for control.
 As amended November 26, 1881, Dutch liquor legislation rules that no one is entitled to sell alcoholic drinks until special license, call ed "vergunning," has been obtain ed.
 The license is of two kinds. the tap license for ordinary public bars, cafes and other similar plac- es, and the hotel license for hotels, casinos and clubs.
 Tap licenses, issued by the com munal authorities, are limited in number according to the popula- ton of each community. Hote, licenses are issued by the state.
 The communal authorities fur ther are free to prohibit the sale of liquor in any street or section while the government by decree is allowed to suspend temporarily any sales when and wherever il deems it appropriate to quell pub lie excitement as on celebration days.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-Next to the when of the repeal of prohibi- tion in the United States, Britons have been most interested with the "how" of the subsequent liquor regulation.
 Manufacturers particularly, look ing forward to supplying part of the American demand, point to the English system as, even if not without some criticism, generally satisfactory.
 Two Systems Apply
 England has, in fact, two sys- tems of liquor control-a general one applying to the whole country and the so-called Carlisle experi- ment, a trial of state purchase and management of the liquor trade inaugurated early in 1916.
 The latter, much criticised by the trade, applies to an area in cluding a great part of the coun- try of Cumberland It is carried on as a state monopoly.
 Licenses Necessary
 Applying to the rest of the coun- try, however, is a system whose thesis is that mo one may sell in- toxicating liquor by retail unless he is the holder of an excise li- cense authorizing him to do so." This excise license excludes drug gists, medical practitioners, and, so far as the sale is concerned, the free winters.
 There are various types of li- censes, for brewers, distillers and dealers, the retail on-licenses ap- plying to places where liquor is sold for consumption on the pre- mises and the off licenses applying to places where liquor is sold for consumption off the premises.
 Hours of Sale Limited
 Permitted hours for the sale of liquor total nine in the metropo- lis on weekdays and eight in other localities with stipulation that there must be break of at least two hours after noon. On Sunday the permitted hours total five.
 A royal commission made an in- vestigation and in 1892 recom- mendsd various changes in the current system, the main of which were the setting up of national licensing committee for England and another for Scotland, more rapid reduction in the number of licenses, encouragement of public house improvement, and assistance along the lines of experiment m public ownership.
