SOME l)| IMPRESSED IMPRESSIONS. MO u • 000 <Kza.ow . 000 - . BY SAM SIM. Hetty Green, whom you all know as one of the most wealthy women in the United States, is said to be one of the worst kind of tax dodgers. She continually flits back and forth between New York and San i Francisco and does not seem to claim either place as her home. The tax collectors of the city on the Pacific are told that Mrs. Green resides in the east and when she is in New York her home is across the continent. So it goes and the rightful, lawful taxes on immense sums of money are left unpaid. When we consider that tax money is due and should be paid such ways as doing can be classed as the rankest kind of dishonesty. Tax dodging is a common crime. It is practiced by those of little property as well as the rch and the high tax evil is the result. Just now one of the most vital issues in the political field is the tax question and its settement will be one of the most sweeping and beneficial reforms that this country can hope for. If the rich man would be honest as well the poor the per cent would be lessened and taxtation would always be just and at no time outrageous. The laws are just when hon- : estly adhered to, and so the solving of the tax question like all others resolves itself into one of the fundamental principles of all virtue, unfailing honesty. The Bachelor Maids will meet to night with Mrs. James Haefling. Mrs. Dick Roop went to Van Buren this morning for a short visit.

POULTRY POINTERS. Laying bens must have meat or milk. Always feed some whole grain at night. Early batched chickens usually make tLye best breeding fowls. Feeding a little at a time and often is better thun overfeeding at any time. A liberal use of ground bone will correct the tendency to laying soft shelled ■ eggs. Keeping fowls on hard floors will frequently cause swollen feet and legs. I They must have some loose ground to scratch over.
