Many States Exempt
Uncle Sam From Taxation

United States property is specifi-
cally exempted from taxation by 80
states, while three states-Kentucky,
Louisiana and exempt
public property" from taxation but
do not expressly refer to United
States property, the Council of State
Governments reported.
Five states-Florida, Idaho, Iowa,
Texas and Wisconsin-propose to tax
the property of the United States,
whether real or personal, as soon
as the federal congress permits such
taxation. All the five states except
Idaho took steps in 1913 to prepare
for taxation of federal property upon
consent Of congress; in Idaho, the
question went before the voters on
November z as a constitutional
amendment and was approved.
In Alabama, U. S. property is
taxable except where it is barred
by constitutional provision. Geor-
gia, North Carolina and Pennsyl-
vania-the remaining three states
impose taxes on certain forms of
property owned by the federal gov
eminent, according to the councils
report.

LONG SEASON GARDENS

Town and city. Victory Gardeners
of 1914 did not do as we'll for them
selves as farm gardeners in keeping
a supply of fresh vegetables coming
for long season. This, says Victory
Garden headquarters at the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, is one field
in which experience and good plan
ming ought to bring about better gar
dens in 1915.
A surrey by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics of a representative
sample of the Victory Gardens of
1914 revealed that on farms As per-
cent of the gardens supplied fresh
vegetables for six months or more,
Nearly a full half of the town and
city gardens were productive for only
three or four months, and only one
in six supplied fresh vegetables for
six months or more.
More space favors longer season
for farm gardens, of course, but this
is not full explanation of the differ
ence in the garden records. Even a
small garden can be kept productive
if well planned, well tended, and re-
planted with succession crops. Proba-
bly, the most common fault of the
town and city gardeners was the fail
ure to plan for fall gardens with late
summer paintings of hardy crops that
bear until freezing weather-and
parsnips staying in the soil to freeze.
Another weak spot was failure to
clear away such early crops as let
tuce, green peas, radishes, kale and
spinach which are injured by hot
weather, replacing them with rows of
hat weather crops such as beans and
tomatoes.
A considerable part of long season
production depends on careful spring
planning-on planting together the
early spring crops that will finish
producing at about the same time,
thus making it practical to clear and
replant, and keep the soil in the gar
den working from early spring to
late fall.

Cotton Supplies

Increased available supplies of
foreign-grown cotton and wool inn
pose important limitations on mar
ket outlets for the American prod
ucts. Total supplies of foreign-grown
cottons increased from an average
of 1876 million bales, or 42.6 per
cent of the world total for all
growths, in the seven years 1928
to 1913 million bales, or SIT per
cent of the world total, in the five
years 1934-38, and they amounted to
more than q million bales, or about
SIS per cent of the world total, in
1943. Stocks Of foreign-grown cot
tons carried over on August ! in
creased from an average of 5.4 mil
lion bales, or less than 40 per cent
Of the total for all growths, in 1927
80 to more than IA million bales, or
to more than SIS per cent of the total
in 1914, and further increases In
1945 are anticipated.

frightened HOME CANNING
SVIGAR

A frightened home canning sugar
program for the 1915 season. pro-
gram designed to insure a fair distri-
button of the available sugar to those
who actually need it for canning
has been announced by Administrator
Chester Bowles, OPA. Highlights of
the new program are as follows: The
housewife will apply at her local War
Price and Rationing Board and will
indicate the amount of canning she
intends to do this year. Local Boards
will issue five-pound home canning
sugar coupons. No ration stamps in
War Ration Book Four will be good
for canning sugar this year. For can
aing fruits and fruit juices, the al
lowance will be on the basis of one
pound for each four quarts to be can
ned The total allowance must not
exceed 20 pounds per person, or $50
pounds to a single family, even
though the family may contain more
than eight persons.

Indiscriminate Hunting

Records give ample evidence Of
an indiscriminate war against
hawks and owls. The evidence
shows not only that these birds are
usually not permitted to live out
their natural life spans but also that
those who kill them do not distin-
guish between the beneficial species
and the few that are known to do
damage to mans interests-the
sharp-shinned hawk, the Cooper's
hawk, the goshawk, and the great
horned owl.
Harmful species make up about
II per cent Of the 11,200 hawks and
owls that have been banded in re-
cent years and only about the same
percentage of the number that are
killed and reported. In other words,
those who kill hawks and owls do
so with the same lack Of discrimina-
ton that is purposely used in band
ing and releasing the birds. Out Of
1850 banded hawks and owls killed
in recent years, 1,100 were beneficial
to man.

DAIRY HERD IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATIONS SHOW RESULTS

The well-rounded program of the
dairy herd improvement associations
begun in a small way 40 years ago,
is each year now showing wider re-
suits, says Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r. Wickard Effects of the
use of proved sires are especially
significant, resulting as they do in a
healthy rise of the average milk pro-
duction of all the daughters of proved
bulls instead of outstanding milk pro-
duction records of just a few individ-
uals. Last year the average produc-
ton for all of the nations 26 million
dairy COWS was less than 1900
pounds of milk; for the half million
cows of the improvement association
herds it was $500 pounds. With the
increased interest in record keeping
and the rapid development of artii-
cial dissemination, we can look for
ward to continuing increases in dairy
COW efficiency. At Beltsville, for ex-
ample, the U. S. D. A. has some prov
ed Holstein bulls all of whose daugh-
ters average over 10000 pounds of
milk and over 500 pounds of butter
fat a year.

TRAFFIC ON BAY FERRY
TO SHOW INCREASl

Traffic on the Chesapeake Bay Fer
ry between Sandy and Matapeake
continued its unbroken monthly re-
cord of increases for February, de-
spite the fact that United States Gov
eminent inspection requirement
made necessary the drydocking of
one of the boats during the latter
two weeks of the month.
The report to Governor O'Conor
from Ferry Manager B. Frank Sher-
man disclosed that despite the re-
duced schedule thereby necessitated,
the number of automobiles used on
the ferry increased from 11,061 to
Hats, almost A %, and the number
of passengers excluding drivers, went
from 3O,518 to 31,0S5, an increase of
approximately go.
The number of trucks declined
slightly, from 1904 to 3,017, making
the overall increase for the month

Here Are Ways to
Remove Pesky Stains

Here are some of the usual stains,
and what can be done about them:
Fruit and berry stains: Stretch
over a bowl, then pour boiling wa
ter from height; dry in the sun to
bleach. If the stain has "set," and
the cloth is white cotton or linen,
follow the boiling water with chlor-
inc bleach and rinse promptly and
thoroughly.
Coffee, chocolate and cocoa
stains: First, soak in cold water for
several hours, then pour boiling wa
ter through from height, and wash
as usual. If the stains have become
"set," apply paste of borax and
cold water. Rub in well, rinse, and
wash in warm suds.
Wine stains: Sprinkle at once with
salt. Afterwards, pour boiling wa
ter through the stained portion and
wash as usual.
Mustard stains: Rub lightly with
thick soapsuds before the cloth is
washed.
Candle wax: Scrape off the sur
face wax with a blunt knife. Place
a piece of white blotting paper or
brown wrapping paper over the
spots and press with hot iron, NOV
ing the paper frequently.

Hardening Of Arteries

Hardening Of the arteries, techni-
cally termed arteriosclerosis, may
be a fat disease in the way that
diabetes is sugar disease, it ap-
pears from studies reported by DR..
Lester r. Dragstedt to the National
Academy Of Sciences. The condi-
ton is not a necessary part Of the
aging process, DR.. Dragstedt said,
since not all old people develop it.
When the pancreas fails to pro-
duce enough insulin, the utilization
of sugar is defective and diabetes
results. Failure of the pancreas to
produce another hormone, called
lipocaic, disturbs the utilization Of
fat and arteriosclerosis results. This
is the case in dogs and may be in
humans. A high percentage of dogs
developed arteriosclerosis when de-
prived of lipocaic by removal Of the
pancreas, DR.. Dragstedt found.
Hardening of the, arteries occurs
with abnormally high frequency in
patients with diabetes, DR.. Drag
stedt pointed out, and occurs not
infrequently in young persons.

Farmers Should Remove
Accident Hazards

Farmers who spend some time
during the winter months finding
and correcting accident hazards may
prevent painful injuries and loss Of
time during the busy season next
year. Do some housekeeping and
set things in order. A good place to
start the farm safety project is in
the barn.
Follow the important safety rule,
"a place for everything and every
thing in its place." If alleyways
and work areas in the barn are OBJ
structed with feed, harness, tools
and other equipment, find a place
for these things. Falls and falling
objects cause a large portion of &C.
cidents which occur in barns. Avoid
storing loose material overhead on
the rafters, and see that forks,
scrapers, and other farm equipment
are kept where they will not cause
accidents.
Many barns filled with hay, feed
and valuable equipment are de-
stroyed each year by fire. Farmers
should not smoke or strike matches
in the barn. Light the lantern be-
fore entering the barn and fix hooks
to hang the lantern on, so that it
won't get knocked over and start a
fire. While checking the fire haz-
ards, check to make sure that the
lightning rods are grounded prop
erly and to make sure that no gaso-
line and kerosene are stored in the
barn.

Jungle Kits

In the early stages of the war
some American flying men were
forced to bail out over sea or jungle
without adequate weapons with
which to obtain food. This problem
was solved by the development of a
new type of shot cartridge to fit
the regulation AS caliber pistol with
which they are equipped. Each "jun-
gle kit" now contains two water
proofed boxes, each containing 20 of
the newly developed shot cartridges,
which will aid any marooned or
adrift fiier to bag small animals or
birds for food. With the aid of this
cartridge, many have been able to
live off the land until again safe
with Allied forces.

USE HOT GLASS TO GIVE LIFE TO
YOUR RAZOR
Rv Alicia Hart

To give that little shaver-your
razor blade-a longer and sharper
life use simple honing trick that
men use.
Take a glass and after filling with
hot water to heat, empty it. Then,
rub the cutting edge of blade on the
INSIDE of glass-about 10 times on
each side of the blade.
To get more shaves from your
sharpened blade, soap your skin be-
fore scraping. You'll not only do a
better job of shaving, but will save
wear and tear on your blade. A man
would never think of shaving dry I'M
less he were in a jungle and had left
his brushless cream behind.

My Portion. Is Good

A TIA time when the thought of the
~ world is largely occupied with
the rationing of commodities,
with shortages and anticipated short
ages, il is calming and helpful to con-
template the words of the prophet
Lamentations 1924, "The Lord is
my portion, saith my soul; therefore
will hope in him." No thinking
Christian believes in or anticipates
a shortage of infinite Love, nor does
he expect to have difficulty in get
ting his portion, or fear that his por-
ton will be less than normal and
perhaps insufficient. Infinite Spirit
does not limit man. God gives good
sufficient for every need.
Christ Jesus realized that plenty
is normal and natural, the effect of
Gods law, understood. He demon
strated abundance in the midst of
lack, as we see in the incident of
the loaves and fishes. If he had
looked at the few loaves. and small
fishes as the source of supply, he
would have faced problem inca
pable of solution. Apparently there
was not enough food at hand even
for a limited few. But the Master
knew that supply is spiritual, and
that abundance can be demonstrated
in human experience through under
standing the spiritual nature of sup
ply. Jesus therefore demonstrated
plenty for all concerned. Likewise
today, one who understands the af-
fluence of divine Love cannot lack
what is humanity needful for his own
well-being and for the comfort and
welfare of those dependent upon
him.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science,
gives this comforting message in "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Up. 442): "Christ, Truth,
gives mortals temporary food and
clothing until the material, trans
formed with the ideal, disappears,
and man is clothed and fed spirit
ually." Again she writes (ibid., p.
494, "Divine Love always has met
and always will meet every human
need" These words have been a
source of inspiration and comfort to
thousands the world over, and they
continue to bless, to heal, and to free
from Limitation of every kind. Divine
Love does not leave us to struggle
with fear, doubt, and insufficiency.
In spite of material evidence to the
contrary, we can prove that what is
really necessary for our happiness
and well-being is at hand. :.
Generosity and faith will never be
limited, nor will intelligence, quail
ity of infinite Mind. Intelligence is
not dependent on material condi
tions. We have all the intelligence
we claim and permit to permeate our
daily affairs. The more we use, the
more we express. 1t is the same with
every quality of God. -.
There is plenty of truth for every
one, and the understanding of inf
mite Truth brings freedom. Jesus
said John s 1927, eye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you
free" Truth understood and prac-
ticed always ends bondage. The OPP
Grafton of Truth in daily affairs is
as simple as the use of mathemat-
ical fact. Since two and two equals
four, the answer cannot be five, and
the truth destroys the mistake and
ones belief in the mistake. Man as
God made him, perfect and unlim-
tied, cannot be in bondage and suffer
lack" - The Christian Science
Monitor.

Nutritious Fare

The average-sized sweet potato
should provide all the vitamin A
needed by an adult for one day.
In addition, it contains some vita
min C and good supply Of iron
and vitamin B.. To conserve the
sweet potato flavor as well as the
vitamin and mineral content, it is
best to cook them without peeling.
For variety, sweet potatoes can
be spiced and glazed or served as
orange sweet potatoes. Escalloped
sweet potatoes and apples, combin-
ing cooked peeled sweet potatoes
and tart apples, provide an appe-
tizing dish.
Though they seem to taste special
ly good with pork, sweet potatoes

Mosquito Control

Soap is now found to be control
measure for mosquitoes. According
to a report by the New Jersey
Mosquito determination association,
soap solutions are being used sue
cessfully in treating pools and other
saltwater breeding places of sum-
mer's most annoying insect.
If soap solutions in concentrations
of about to 21a per cent are poured
on still water, the surface tension
of the water is reduced so that the
pupae are unable to maintain their
normal floating position and they
drown. For the same reason, the
egg-laying mosquito can not be sup
ported on the soap-treated water,
and this prevents breeding.
