Looking Back
Through Time
Excerpts From The Herald OF
Thursday, Aug. 8, 191S-ltems
of Interest Twenty Years Ago

J. B. Schoenhoff, of this city, has
the unusual distinction Of being the
head Of the only Red Cross family
of it's size in the county. This Is
probably news to Mr.. Schoenhoff
himself, but en- looking over the
county records it is found to be
true. Last year Mr.. Schoenhoff
took out memberships for the en-
tire family, ten, including the maid,
and last month renewed them.
The announcement Of the mar
rage of Miss Jean Hansen, the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. s. p.
Hansen, of this city, to Mr.. H. F..
Schmidt, also of Sank Centr e,
which took place last Saturday
evening at Minneapolis, came as a
complete surprise to their friends.
None Of the details of the wedding
have arrived as yet. Neither gave
any imtimation Of the approaching
event. Miss Hansen worked in her
fathers store until late Saturday
afternoon and Mr.. Schmidt being
as busily occupied with his bust
ness. Miss Hansen took the seven
o'clock flier for the cities and 1t is
presumed that Mr.. Schmidt was
also on the same train although he
was not seen. Later in the evening
a telephone message to her par
ents, told of the wedding.
Monday, August 5th, at nine
o'clock, the wedding Of Miss Agnes
Tax, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Daniels, of this city, to Paul
Hoffke was solemnized at st. Paul's
Catholic Church. Miss Rose Daniels
sister of the bride, was maid of
homer, and Barney Daniels, a
brother Of the bride, acted as best
man.
A baby boy was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Pflipsen, Monday, Aug
ust fifth. !,
Word was received from Barney
Hoffman stating that he had ar
rived safely in Nagasaku, Japan,
July 2, and was now no his way to
the Philippine Islands.

Tax Is Four Billion More Than
Total Farm Income

James p Mcdonnell, president of the Minnesota
Taxpayers Association recently declared that all far
in America and all the tillable farm lands in
America do not produce enough to pay the tax bill
of Federal State and Local governments in this coun
try The total farm income of the country was about
eight and one-haf billion last year, while the costs
of government about twelve and one-half bill
lion dollars. The farmer pays his share, possibly
than his share, of the tax load which continu-
ally grows larger 1t seems that we must sooner or
later reach the breaking point in government spend
ing Higher taxes follow in the wake of greater
governmental control necesstating the formation OF
new bureaus for RECOMMENDATION of everything from
the peanut merchant on up. Tax relief today is
joke, and there is no evidence that lower taxes will
be available for many years, even generations. 1t is
surprising find that the total income of of the
countrys greatest industries cannot equal the tax
bill within four billion dollars.
We cannot believe that our county commissioners
would stick out their necks far as to adopt the
plan of collecting toll from slot machines for the sup
port of the poor fund any other fund in our coun-
ty government. 1t is ridiculous for any branch or
government to try to collect funds from any scheme
which government holds illegal While there are
many people who like to play them, the law Is spec-
fic The plan as set forth would be dangerous
precedent and in time might prove to be severe
headache" to the board Chickens do come home to
roost.

A distinctly different type OF
musical drama is heralded in Joy
of Living" new musical comedy with
Irene Dunno and Douglas Fair
banks. Jr.. and with new Jerome
Kern melodies woven into the
sprightly plot.
The story deals with stormy ro-
nance between Miss Dunno, pop

huge income is lavished on her self
ish family, and Fairbanks. self
confident young man, who has dis
inherited his rich relatives to be-
come sort of sea vagabond, who
breaches a doctrine of attaining
happiness by doing what you want
to do.
Believing her duty lies in letting
her parents and her sister have their
own way, and in working to the linn
it of her endurance in order to sat
isfy their rapacious demands, Miss
Dunno quarrels violently with Fair
banks when he urges her to throw
her family overheard and learn to
enjoy herself.

LEAGUE PURGE
BELIEVED BEGUN
Dismissal of Aveno's Aide
May Assist Return of
Italy and Reich.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Oct. 28.-Marcel Holden,
French chief Of the League Of Ma
tons Secretariat, disclosed his dis
missal last night in what league OBJ
servers interpreted as the first move
Of q purge" designed to pave the way
for return Of Italy and Germany to
Geneva.
The action followed upon persistent
reports that many prominent members
Of the League Secretariat who di-
rected the sanctions campaign against
Italy during her Ethiopian conquest
would have to 60 before either Italy
or her ally, Germany, would return to
league membership.
Post Is Abolished.
Mr. Holden said his post as chief Of
cabinet to Secretary General Joseph
Avenol was abolished efIecting his
dismissal which he termed political
rather than personal" He had been
M. Avenol's second in command un-
der long-term contract since the
secretary-generalt took Office.
The League observers said they
believed NJ Holden was only the first Of
several important Geneva officials
slated to go as result Of the purge"
Agree Dismissal Not Personal.
They echoed M. Hoden's declara-
ton that there was nothing personal
in his dismissal. These sources point
ed out that il the main League pow-
| ers, Britain and France, had decided
to bring Germany and Italy back into
the League fold, one Of the prices
would be the ousting Of these officials
It was pointed out that M. Holden
and fellow members Of the Secretariat
were the ones who had carried out
the Franco-British policies which
caused the two totaitarian powers to
quit the League.

Distinguished Service to

Capital Is Cited.

Edward F. Colladay, who last April

was paid high tribute last night for
his long civic service. his accomplish
ments as lawyer, banker and politician
and his ability as fisherman and po-
litical prognosticator.
Leaders in the business, professional.
civic and educational fields in WASH
ington Joined in praising his out
standing work in and for the District
at . testimonial dinner given by the
Board Of Directors Of the Board Of
Trade honor1ng the immediate past
president.
After hearing the many laudatory
speeches, Mr.. Colladay was presented
with a written testimonial, signed by
the officers and directors Of the trade
organization, praising his continuous
and distinguished service to the board
and to Washington. Then. in q
brief response, Mr.. Colladay said:
I've been in civic work . good
many years and hope to retire now
from some Of these duties. It Is my
purpose now to leave the way open
for tho younger generation to carry
the load"
Praised for Leadership.
One Of the outstanding tributes to
Mr.. Colladay was paid by Theodore
w. Noyes, editor Of The Star, in q
message read by Francis G. Addison,
jr.. present president of the Board OF
Trade. Expressing regret at being
unable to attend in person, Mr.. Noyes
sent written tribute in which he
described the outstanding characteris-
tic Of Mr.. Colladay as being his ca
pacity for leadership.
He leads wherever he Is placed
naturally, quickly. inevitably" Mr..
Moves said. Drop him in the re-
motest of the Cannibal Islands and in
. short time you would find him, not
cooked or cooking in the great pot
devoted to visitors, but on the native
thronar as Colladay the First, King
OF the Cannibal Islands"
Mr. Noyes pointed out that Mr.. Col
laday has led the Board OF Trade as
president in 1923 and 1924 and was re-
called for third term in 1887, "a
greater distinction even than that con-
ferred on three other presidents who
have been honored with three success
sive terms"
"As chairman of the Boards Finance
Committee and as general chairman OF
the Citizens Joint Committee on
Financial Equity for the District, he
has made himself a leader, tower Of
strength, in defense against injustice
OF the politically unrepresented tax
payers of the District. In Washington's
battle for political equity, for voting
representation in House, Senate and
Electoral College, he figures promi-
nently. In short, as I have already
pointed out he rises to leadership
among groups of men wherever he
finds himself" Mr.. Noyes' message
continued.
