So there you have both

Is everything fair in

"Neither war nor love

Pa There are certain
standards of right, certain

"Only right is fair in
wartime love. No girl has
the right to carry on any
thing even remotely re-

any other man when her

makes n play for the
lonely girl is just a plain

"In cases where boys and

TfI could have played Santa Claus,
i every dairyman in the nation
would have found a special medal
in his Christmas stocking this
year. / think every dairy farmer
deserves special mention for the job
he did in 1914.
Production of milk is indicated
at 118 billion pounds, which is
really delivering the goods when
needed and despite handicaps of
labor and machinery shortages.
So we can draw a deep breath, roll
up our sleeves and wade into the
1915 job with the satisfaction of
knowing the 1914 task was met to
the best of all our abilities.
And there's bigger job ahead.
Uncle Sam is asking for billion
pounds more milk in 1915 than in
1914. This will call for greater care
all along the line-greater attention
to details in handling and all the
sound practices of feeding and pas
ture and animal management which
will give greatest production per cow.
Iwant to extend my sincere hope
that 1915 will be good year for all
of you and that at its end we will be
able to look back with an even deeper
sense of having done a job well.

ground in a relatively short space OF
time, but its greatest virtue is the
fact that it has many different uses.
Itmakes good hay and fine pas
ture, increases soil fertility, does
notseem to be bothered by insect
pests, is drouth resistant and
can be used to stop soil erosion.
1t has a high food value and
has been used in place of alfalfa
where that crop does not
grow well.
Kudzu may be planted any time
from early January through April, the
best time being in February or March.
1t should not be planted on land
with poor drainage or in poor sand.
Plants are set out in rows. The
width between rows and between
plants is determined by how quickly
you want the ground to be covered.
The more plants you set per acre,
the greater coverage in less time.
Kudzu lives for years, or can be
used in crop rotations. It should not
be pastured until the third year, but
can be moved for hay in the second
year. After the second year, Kudzu
can be pastured from May until frost.
Farmers Bulletin No. 1923 from
the United States Department of
Agriculture contains a wealth of in
teresting information about this
unusual plant. It tells how and when
to plant and how to use it for various
purposes on your farm. Your county
agent probably can supply you with
a copy of the bulletin or will have
some literature on this subject.

Some of the Christmas neckties I've
seen floating around seem to indicate
that some folks buy them by feel,
rather than by sight. When it comes
to buying commercial feeds or fer
tilizers, however, you have to do a
bit more studying of details.
Acouple of bulletins published
by the Extension Service at the
University of Missouri, Column
bia, Mo-, discuss selecting feed
and fertilizer and have some
hints on what to look for.
Speaking of feeds, Circular 245
says you should read the tag on the
bag and see how much protein and
crude fiber, particularly, are in the
commercial mix. The wise feeder
selects commercial mixes which are
high in protein and low in crude fiber.
When you buy commercial ferti-
lizer, you'll note markings such as
4-l2-4W0-l2-12 or something of the
sort on the tag. These numbers show
the percentages of nitrogen, phos-
phate and potash. in order.

Fort BeIvoir Soldier
Identified by Girl as
Attacker and Robbel

A 19-year-old Baltimore girl, VIC
tim of criminal attack and rob-
berry Sunday night, dramatically
pointed out an Army private lined
up last night with several other SOL
diers at police headquarters as her
aSsailant.
He is Pvt. Earl LIE Roy Wisse, IS,
of Fort BelVoir, police revealed.
The soldier will not be prosecuted
under civil law, police said. He was
brought here from Fort Belvoir by
military police, who arrested him
yesterday when he returned to the
post, and will be tried by Army
court-martial. The penalty under
military law for criminal assault is
death.
According to police, the girl, a Bal
timore factory worker, was intro
duced to Wisse by mutual friends.
Wisse, police said, was formerly en-
ployed in the same plant and had
visited there Sunday to renew ac-
quaintances.

block of Jackson place NV, ac-
cording to police, the soldier enticed
the girl into an alley where he
knocked her down and attacked her.
Taking her wallet, containing $3.50.
he fed, police declared.
When arrested by military police
at Fort Belvoir yesterday, Wisse had
SITS.
The girl was admitted to Gal
linger Hospital Sunday night after
she staggered from the alley and
told her story to the first policeman
she encountered. Physicians there
said the girl had been the victim of
a criminal assault. She was hyster-
ical, they said, and was suffering
from shock.
Wisse was last night returned to

Justice Eicher was excused.
Mr.. Laughlin, on the stand ear
lier, declared he had delayed filing
serious charges against Justice
Eicher in the hope the Judge would
realize how biased he was and with
draw from the case.
Under croSs-examination by Mr.
Burns, Mr.. Laughlin said Justice
Eicher had committed so many
obvious errors" and been 80 COM
pletely under the sway" of the prose
cution that he thought the jurist
would realize this.
Asked About Affidavit.
Mr.. Laughlin was asked why he
remarked he was probably signing
his own death warrant" when he
signed an affidavit of bias and
prejudice against Justice Eicher in
behalf of the defendant, Robert
Noble. In this document it was
charged that the chief justice had
been picked" by President Roose-
velt to preside at the sedition trial
with promise of judicial promo
ton if the defendants were COM
mitted.

that there would be set in motion

would do it.

|1reasury's Experts
Throw Cold Water
On Simple Tax Plan
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Members of the Senate Finance
Committee tried today to find a
way to achieve tax simplification
without increasing the tax to be
paid by some individuals, but were
told by the experts they had been
unable to devise surtax schedules
that would do that.
The committee is considering the
House-approved bill designed to let
sc, ,000, 900 persons pay their entire
tax by payroll deductions and to
simplify the March Is returns for
all others.
Treasury data presented today re-
vealed that married persons with
out dependents, who file separate
returns, bear the brunt of the in
creased revenue, but this will be
more than offset by reductions In
the overall payments of families
with dependents and of single per-
sons. These fluctuations in the bur-
dens of different groups result in a
net loss in revenue of $64, 800 900,
the experts testified.
A breakdown of the effect OF the
simplification bill on family groups
follows: Married couples with de-
pendents will have their taxes as
a group cut $64, 800 900; single per-
sons who have dependents, reduc-
ton of $11, 800, 900; married couples
filing separate returns Gncluding
the community property group
where each spouse has independent
income, will pay $68, ,0O0, 900 more as
a group; single persons without de-
pendents, reduction Of $50, zoo, 900.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine observed that "for married
persons with no dependents 1t means
amplification instead of simplifica-
tion."
In reply, one of the Treasury
experts said this group, including
those with enough income to make
separate returns advisable, now pay
"a, ,980, 900, 900 as group, so that
the $68, ,000,0 900 added to their bills
by the sirnplified returns is only
about q / per cent increase in over
all burden.
The experts emphasized, however,
that in each of these family groups,
the actual changes in tax burden
will vary, according to how they are
affected by the main factors used
in obtaining simplification. These
factors are: Allowing all those up
to 5000 year an automatic 10 per
cent for deductions, as compared
with per cent under the present
short form, and the adoption of
fiat $500 personal exemption for
each individual involved in family
return, in place Of different amounts
for married couples and children.
This Is the factor that caused the
bill to benefit larger families.
Senator Millikin, Republican, of
Colorado inquired: "Why would it

Tax on Charitable
Properties Upheld

The Court of Appeals yesterday
ruled that q charitable institution
must pay taxes on property It owns
but does not actually occupy for its
own purposes.
In handing down its ruling, the
appellate court upheld the District
Board Of Tax Appeals, which had
ruled the Hebrew Home for the
Aged had to pay $656.25 on piece
of Its property actually being used
by another public charities agency,
but not by the home itself.
The property consists of a build
ing erected by the Jewish Social
Service Agency on land leased from
the Hebrew home. Under the lease
agreement, the agency was to pay
only 81 a year rent. The taxes IN
volved are for the year 194I and
part Of 1912

was written by Justice Henry w.

tice and the President of the United
States"
Conceding this, Mr.. Laughlir
added that he had referred in the
death warrant" assertion to the
Chief Justices conduct of the case
coupled with what you and Mr.
Rogge had been doing"
Questioned on Delay.
The accused attorney admitted, in
response to other questions, that he
had the alleged information con-
cerning the Eicher appointment and
assignment to the sedition case more
than month before the trial
started on April II. Asked why he
waited until April 26 to file the mo-
tion and affidavit, Mr.. Laughlin
said:
"The chief justice had committed
so many obvious errors and been sc
completely under the domination OF
Mr.. Rogge that I thought that when
other attorneys asked him to dis
qualify himself, particularly 16 at
one time, he himself would realize
the situation and withdraw from
the case"
What investigation did you make
to find out whether the charge you
made was warranted?"
Mr.. Laughlin pointed out that he
had heard the reports from his
clients, Noble and Edward James
Smythe, and from various attorneys
and others.
Didn't Check Ewing Statement.
The defense lawyer said he did
not check a statement which Noble
told him Orman w. Ewing, former
Democratic national committeeman
from Utah, convicted of criminal
assault, had made in the District
Jail. This statement quoted Ewing's
attorney as relating a conversation
with Justice Eicher regarding the
judges appointment and necessity
of presiding over "a particular piece
of litigation"
Mr.. Laughlin explained that he
was suing Ewing in this court for
an unpaid legal fee. "If may use
the expression" he added, I'VE are
rather bitter enemies" Ewing's
present attorney also is involved in
the litigation, Mr.. Laughlin said. .
Justice Bailey shut off detailed
discussion of Ewing and others,
commenting: II am not trying
