WHO ARE YOU? Tfce Romance of Your Name By RUBY HASKINS ELLIS A Savage? ' s MII7IIEN Captain Newport sailed VV up the .lames river for the first time he found upon its shores the ‘gentle savage’ to welcome him. We still have »he Savages with us after ,300 years, but not the dusky sons of the unknown forests.” English parish registers of Somerset county record a number of Savages during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. jßabage On account ot religious differences these people sought other homes, and in America most of them settled lb,the New England states, principally Massachusetts and Connecticut. Some of them located in Rhode Island. In 1654 John Thomas Savage was a Freeholder of Middletown, Conn. Edward Savage was of Dorchester, Mass., in 1664. It was as early as 1681 when Major Thomas Savage, from Chester, England, settled at Boston, bringing with him the family arms reproduced above. • Public Ledger. Inc.—WXU Service.

Tagless See d Is Dangerous LAFAYETTE, Ihd., Feb. IBMany shipments of mail-order house seed are now being sent to Indina farmers without any statement of analysis whatsoever, according to P. B. Curtis of he State seed Commissioner’s Office at Purdue University. Such a situation places hundreds of farmers without any protection against seed of low germination, of o daptation, and of mixtures containing weed seeds. Curtis points out that the expereierice of hundreds of Indiana farmers has been Ehat it is extremely unwise to purchase so-called bargain seed without any specification as its purity, garmination, and noxious weed seed content. Reliable seed houses outside Indiana have been willing to have their seed labelled to comply with the Indiana seed law. Whenever seed companies fail to attach analysis tags to the seed sent to Indiana farmers, Curtis reasons that farmers may logically suspect the seed to be -of poor quality, especially if the perice was abnormally low. By reporting any shipments of untagged seed to the State seed Commissioner, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, a sample and tests will be taken, without any obligation upon the part of farmers. Concrete Floor Is Best for the Poultry House Concrete makes the most satisfactory type of poultry house floor, advises the Missouri experiment station. It is easily cleaned, ratproof, and provides a dry, durable floor. Where the sand and gravel are obtainable, a thin station concrete floor can be installs for two cents per square foot. The success of such a floor is dependent upon having a dirt or rock fill eight to ten inches above the ground level. This fill must be tamped well to prevent it from settling. If a dVt fill is used, it is desirable to place a layer of cheap tar paper on top of the fill to prevent any capillary water seeping through the concrete. Farm Dam as Conserver of Both Soil and Water Soil conservation and water conservation go hand in hand, says the Conservation service. For the cheapest and most practical small reservoir for the farm, it recommends an earthern dam. Such dams may be built across a drainage line or may enclose an artificial depression to be filled from a natural stream or drianage way. Most of the cost is for labor and equipment which a farmer usually can supply himself In building reservoirs and ponds for livestock the Soil Conservation service declares too much emphasis cannot be placed on ample spillways, especially if the dam is located in a stream channel. Watersheds overgrazed and subject to gullying and sheet erosion, should be protected by vegetation before being used to fill a stock pond. Otherwise, eroded soil will rapidly reduce water storage capacity. If the watershed above the reservoir is too large there is danger of flood damage. Steps suggested for keeping mud out of live stock reservoirs—are reduction or- abandonment of grazing and tillage in the watershed; settling basins, check dams, or grassed waterways upstream from the dam and floodgates in a diversion diich or pipe line that may be closed against mud-laden water.

Balanced Budget Enables Hawaii to Cut Income Tax

HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 17 (INS) —A decrease in Hawaii’s gross income tax rate from I 1 ) per cent to 1 per cent was announced by Governor Joseph B. Poindexter today simultaneously with the announcement the Territory would have a balanced budget for the biennium beginning July 1. The gross income tax was substitutedfor the business excise tax in lieu of a direct sales tax and became effective on July 1, 1935. It was adopted primarily as a budget balancing measure with the rate adjusted to produce §2,544,000 annually. However, business improved in the islands to the extent that the tax yielded §3,560,000. The comptroller of the State of California recently requested an outline of its operation to determine

whether a gross income tax could be substituted for the state’s present direct sales tax. Hawaii’s budget for the next biennium totals §25,468,927.33. an increase of §2,843,295.38. Fixed charges against the Territory amount to §4,092,796.28. Operation of schools exclusive of building maintenance was estimated at §11,629,166.92. Total for all other departments is §9,746,964.13. Thus the school system requires territorial revenue after fixed charges are deducted. Increase in the school budget for this two-year period was §1,451,534.14. Os this amount §483,027.20 was due to salary increases mandated by the last legislature. Increase in the budget for all other territorial departments was §1,391,761.24.
