What is the most out-of-the-way place In the United States? A Utah man nominates Hanksville, in that state, for the distinction. Hanksville, he says, Is the last postoffice for several hundred miles to th/.- south and a hundred miles to the east. The mall that reaches there goes through so much hardship that the wrappings are usually worn out, for it must pass through the hands of three star route contractors before reaching its destination. A letter from Hanksville,, he says, had just reached him at Green River, 60 miles away, which had been 16 days on the way.

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. TAX LAW RUNS SMOOTHLY P. J. Kruyer, Collector Internal Revenue for Indianapolis District Says Act Is Being Administered Without Hitch. Indianapolis, May 23.—Although the tax on soft drinks, ice cream and similar articles sold ut sodu fountains has been in effect only 20 days, Peter J. Kruyer, collector of internal revenue for the Indianapolis district, says the law is being administered as smoothly us If it hud been in force many years. No figures as to the amount of revenue the tux will produce in this district are available, as the May reports are to bt> filed any time during the month of June but must be in the collector's office by June HO. It has been estimated by the revenue department that 20,000 soda fountain owners, ice cream parlor proprietors and merchants dispensing soda fountain articles will collect the tux In the Indianapolis district. With the collection of the lux by the merchants ns agents of the government many of them devised new methods of handling the records of sales. The regulations set down by the revenue department suggest no form of tux check, but Instruct the merchants to keep an accurate record of the tax collected each day. Merchants must list in their monthly report the number of 5-cent, 10-cent, 15cent, 20-cent and 25-cent sales separately so that accurate figures as to the number of sales of each denomination may be obtained by the revenue department. Forty-one deputy collectors are at work constantly in the 59 central, eastern and northern Indiana counties in the Indianapolis district. The remaining Indiana counties are in the Terre Haute district. The new tax has not placed much additional work upon the revenue department’s force of collectors, but has necessitated an increase in the office force, Mr. Kruyer said.

Held for New Army Swindle.

The stranger told Mr. Jackemeyer that he could get his son out of the service for $250. The father, needing the services of the boy on the farm, quickly consented and gave the stranger- .$221. The young man returned later, saying It would be necessary to have .$250 more. Mr. Jackemeyer had him arrested. He returned .SIBO to the farmer.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL

There Wee • Time When Job of Looking After Production Would Have Been Sinecure. The present-day restrictions with regard to the use of coal would have seemed very mild to our ancestor*, remarks a writer lu London TR-Blta. There is do doubt that the use of what used to be called “sea coal” to distinguish It from charcoal had its drawbacks. Many look forward to the time when there will be no more smoky chimneys in Britain, when the atmosphere of London will be us clean as it must have been in the days of Good Queen Bess, and when a new building will not be begrimed with soot almost as soon as It is built. In the reign of Edward I the Inhabitants of London petitioned the king against the growing use of coal, declaring that it wan “a public nuisance, corrupting the air with Its stink ond smoke, to the great detriment of their health.** Whereui>on the king prohibited its use, offenders to be punished for a first offense by a fine and for a second to have their kilns and furnaces destroyed. The practice of using coal was at length made a capital offense and a man wns tried, condemned and hanged for burning coal in London. In those days the population of England probably «11«1 not exceed four or five million, and wood was plentiful and cheap from the vast forests that covered tens of thousands of square miles where now are great towns.

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO

Secret of Sir Welter Scott's Marvelous Literary Achievements Told In a Few Words. “Never to be doing nothing" was the simple but effective rule that enabled Sir Walter Scott to get done the enormous amount of work for which he Is noted. A passage in Lockhart's life of the poet and novelist reads: "Those who observed him the most constantly were never able to understand how he contrived to keep himself so thoroughly up with the stream of contemporary literature of almost all sorts, French and German, as well as English. That a rapid glance might tell him more than another man could gather by a week’s poring may easily be guessed; but the grand secret was his perpetual practice of his own grand maxim, never to be doing nothing. He had no ‘unconsldered trifles’ of time. Every moment was turned to account; and thus he had leisure for everything —except, indeed, the newspapers, which consume so many precious hours nowadays with most men, and of which, during the period of my acquaintance with him, he certainly read less than any other man I ever knew that had any habit of reading at all. I should also except, speaking generally, the reviews and magazines of the time. Of these he saw few, and of the few he read little."

Varying Movements of Leaves.

Different species of trees move their leaves very differently;" so that one may sometimes tell by the motion of shadows on the ground, if he be too Indolent to look up, under what kind of tree he is sitting. On the tulip-tree (which has the finest name that eves tree had, making the very pronouncing of its name almost like the utterance of a strain of music— Llrldodendron tullpfera), on the tuliptree, the aspen, and on all native poplars, the leaves have an Intense Individualism. Each one moves to suit itself. Under the same wind one is trilling up and down, another is whirling, another slowly vibrating right and left, and others still, quieting themselves to sleep, as a mother gently pats her slumbering child; and each one intent upon a motion of its own. Sometimes other trees have single frisky leaves, but usually the oaks, maples, beeches, have community of motion. They are all acting together, or are all alike still.—Henry Ward Beecher. *

The Bishop of Verdun.

St. Vanne, or Vltonlus, died November 9, 1525. A celebrated congregation of reformed Benedictines in Lor* ralne, formed in the abbey of St. Vanne in Verdun, in 1604, took him for patron, and from the famous abbey and that of Moyen-Moustler, dedicated in honor of St. Hydulphus, bears the name of St. Vanne and St. Hydulphus. Many in France desired to accede to the reform, but on account of the wars then existing, a union was thought too difficult. A reform under the same plan was set on foot in France, under the name of the Congregation of St. Maur, and began In the abbey of St. Austin in Limoges in 1613, and confirmed by .Gregory XV, in 1627, which now comprises 185 abbeys and priories.

Mystic Shrine.

The Ancient and Arabic Qrder of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was founded 1,400 years ago at Mecca, Arabia. The modern order is of comparatively recent origin. It was founded at New York In 1871 by William J. Florence, the actor. It contains a legend as to Arabic origin and on Its altars rest copies of the Bible and the Koran. The Mystic Shrlners are an entirely separate organization from the Masonic order. Howpver, one of the provision* of membership Is that the applicant must be either a Scottish Rite Mason, that is to say, a Mason of the thirtysecond degree, or a member of the order of Knights Templar,__-,

Tensing—Whole-hearted and sincere response by the people of Michigan to the Saltation Army National Home Service Fund Campaign appeal during thia week is urged in a proclamation by Governor Albert E. Sleeper of Michigan. Splendid tribute to the work of the Salvation Army, both over-seas and at home, is paid by the Governor in his edict which follows: “WHEREAS, the enviable record made by the Salvation Army overseas through ita deeds of self-eacriflce and cheerful service has at last brought forcibly to the attention of the American people the extent to which this wonderful organization la willing to indulge itself in proving the real meaning of ita very appropriate campaign slogan ‘A man may be down, but he’s never out', and now that its increased responsibilities and obligations during the war period ' make it imperative that it be financed for home service and for thia reason will go before the American people during the week

That Salvation Army Smile

Several thousand veterans of the Argonne Forest recently entered New York harbor. Among them were several badly wounded Marines. One man, easily distinguished because of a coat sleeve that dangled empty at his side and a Croix de Guerre, was making his way slowly to the waiting ambulance when a Salvation Army girl approached him and offered doughnuts and coffee. "Now I know I am home,” he said. "Those doughnuts helped a whole lot ‘over there,’ and, first crack out of the box when we land, we find more waiting for us. The best thing about the Salvation Army work out near the front Una was the smile that accompanied the gift. Those girls had a knack of wrapping up every doughnut and every cup of coffee In a smile. The doughnuts were fine, but the smile —that took the place of powdered sugar." The Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign for $13,000,000 opens May 19, to last one week. ■ / . * „
