on earth. If you refuse to pay your honest share of the cost of running the government that gives such great blessings, you prove yourself an unworthy citizen and foul your own nest. The roan who is yellow in a small ay in his deal-

i Ings with the government, is likely to find the crooked

tendency creeping into his other human relations. Anyone -who makes a sincere and fair tax return has Hie satisfaction of feeling that he has contributed his due share to the maintenance of the great American vrin oiples, and that he is doing bis part o support the superh institutions for which America stands.

JIM HAM'S LAST EFFORT. The funniest thing about the return of President Wilson for a little visit to his country was. the up-stand ins in the senate of the omnipresent and ubiquitous J. Ham Lewis in all the glory of his mauve spats and cerise whiskers. Jim Ham leaped upon the prostrate forms of Senators Borah and Reed. He screamed as he leaped, with the hope that as -he screamed the reverberations would reach Roston harbor where his master, retinue and thirty-six packing cases of presents from royalty were being escorted down the gangplank. Jim Ham had timed his oratory so that it would set on the wires about the time of the royal entry, but unfortunately the Illinois Senator forgot -that he could only

BUSY'S NO NAME FOR IT. Some of us think it's nice to be a county officer. Is it? Tfike the county treasurer. It is 9:30 p. m. The county treasurer's office in the courthouse is alight from floor to coiling. "Working nights?" you say to Ralph Bradford, the whirlwind campaigner. And we learn that from September to June, ten months in the year, the county treasurer and his efficient deputy put in two or three hours night work. When you go home at four, five or six. as the case may be. your day's toil is over, but not so the county treasurer. "We have to do it to keep up," says Bradford, with one of those ear-to-ear grins, "or we'd be in a fine mess." And still he finds time to keep

A complete distilling plant built on an extensive scale to produce whisky in wholesale quantities was unearthed recently federal officials in Chattanooga, Tenn. It was found iri, the basement of an

apartment used by a prominent club and society man. Federal officials estimated that when working full blast it would turn out $2,000 worth of liquor a month. The plant was so constructed that all fumes from the process went into the chimney of the apartment house furnace.
