THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ad AN ORANGE-LEMON TREE, The sensations of a tree which started outby being one fruit, became metamorphosed, in its ~ upper parts, into another, and then in turn came back to the first, can be better imagined, as the _ saying goes, than described. This is a common tree experience in citrus districts of California. The explanation is that the lemon can be grafted onto the orange, and the orange onto the lemon. This is not to say that an orange-lemon-orange _ tree. bears better oranges than a straight orange. = It doesn’t. In fact, no difference in the fruit, one way or the other, is observed. The obtrusion of lemon in the trunk resulted from faltering + in the grower’s plans. He started out to grow lemons. He used trees in which the-lemon had been budded-in on, say, sour Florida stock. When these trees had attained some growth, some con- sideration, possibly market conditions, ‘‘influ- + enced him to wish his trees were not lemons, but = oranges. So he budded them over. : ‘Quite a little of this is being done now in Cali- fornia. Recently oranges have pera: more profit- able than lemons. Old hands in the citrus industry ae ‘that when the occasional hard freeze comes that “murder outs.” They say that the orange with some in- 8 tervention of lemon is usually the harder hit. Editor, Eaid SUCH WAS LIFE. ..-A collection of rare books is to be sold in New York Jan..24 and 25, the library of Herman Ed- © gar.. Included among them is: - “The Mowing. Devil, or Strange News Out ‘of Hartfordshire: Being a true relation of a farmer, -who, bargaining with a poor mower about the cutting down three half acres of ‘oata; upon the mower’s asking too much, the faimer swore that the devil should cut it rather than‘he. And so it fell out that that ‘ ‘Yery.night:the crop of oats shew’d as if it had ,.- ‘been all of:a flame, but next inorning ap- peared so neatly mow’d by the devil or some infernal spirit that no mortal man was able ‘to do the like. Also how the said oats Ly ‘ now in the field, and the owner has -not power to fetch them away.” The book is a small quarto in old Russia Vining, and -was printed in London in 1678.’ The wood- cut on the title shows the devil mowing. -~ That, probably, was the only agricultural work ever done by the devil, Many people, uow, pro- fess to doubt that the devil did that much. They consider it one of the early fiction efforts of a modern Best Seller writer’s ancestor. But at the time, 1678, quite a few persons be- lieved it.. There were those, however, who thought-they’d be able to haul the oats out of the field if once the mowing was done. These tempt- ed.the devil (aetording to Hartfordshire tradi-] * tion). to do some mowing for them. : They staged similar disputes with the: “poor mower” and, refusing his térms, said the devil . should do the mow’ ing rather than he. The devil, being wiser, or lazier than he is gen- erally credited with being, refused to fall for any , More mowing jobs. He paid no attention to fur- * ther controversies between the poor mow er and # other farmers. HORSE POWER IN WATER POWER . .By developing our available water power in * this country we can produce power at a rate of 3 $15 aw horse power. The power which runs the largest English mills today is produced. at a cost of. $34 a horse power. This is a very significant 3 and:‘important fact. - Another significant and important fact is that’ today coal ean. be mined in. the Umted States and laid down in English ports cheaper than it can be taken from the mines in England. These were among the statements niade recent- ly by General Hugh Cooper to a committee of the House investigating water power development. # General Cooper speaks as one having author- ity. ‘He is the man who developed the Niagara = Falls's power. Also the power at Keokuk, Iowa. ‘He has built numerous dams on the Mississippi = * and has been engaged on the Muscle Shoals work_ in Alabama. During the war General Cooper served as a dollar-a-year man, contributing his services to the government. He took pains to tell the com- ~ mittee that he has all the money he wants or 3: needs, and that he is not a stockholder in any " power corporation. - The development of water power in the United =, States General Cooper regards as the most im- * portant thing which can be done.

WORDING YOUR THOUGHTS Persons mnacenstomed to writing are often | i called upon to address a paper or letter to some! | organization or to the public, and amany feel at a loss how to go about it. No better advice can be given than William Cobbett, nearly a century ago, gave his nephew. Cobbett, son and grandson of farmers, became a member of the British parliament. The writing was a secondary: accomplishment, his newspaper correspondence has become a prose classic unique in English. “The order of the matter will be, in almost all cases, that of your thought,” advised Cobbett. “Sit down to write what you have thought, and into your mind is likely to pass into that of an- other more readily: and with more effect. than anything which: you can, by reflection, invent.” Can you retiember when*chatades ‘were con- sidered a lively evening’s entertainment?

COURAGE NEEDED ‘TO RUN A BUSINESS The country is beginning to realize tha man who goes into business for himself is taking a\real risk. In the last ‘few. years, with prices constantly mounting, very many theoretically inclined per- sons came to look onthe business man as simply a machine for making profits , automatically: He was fair game for any experiment in taxation that might occur. Wasn’t he getting rich? It didn’t take brains to conduct a business, these theorists assumed. All that was necessary was to get busy and the profits would flow in. The farmer was regarded as one of this fav- ored class. -He was a business man. Consequent- ly he was growing violently wealthy. — Now a change has come. The business man, stocked np with high priced goods, is taking his! | luss—not his profits. The farmer has seen the bottom drop out of the market for’ wheat, corn, and livestock, all raised under expensive condi: tions. ‘Today the farmer is selling his cattle at less than he could have sold for two months ago, and hé has had the expense of feeding and caring for them all this time. The American business man, farmer, merchant, manufacturer, is resourceful and competent. He will squeeze by some way. Meanwhile he is demonstrating to the people, theorists and all,| that. it takes a man of courage, as well as of in-| telligence and industry, to run a business -sue- cessfully.—Kansas City Star. AIDING AND ABETTING GRAFT | It appears that Secretary Bakér ‘thought it ad- | visable to stick the governmeiit something like $6) a ton for coal rather than exercise the right to commandeer at cost the fuel necessary for heat- ing purposes at the military barracks. In pur- suance of this policy he bought 765,252 tons of bituminous coal on which, according to Senator Calder, the seller profited more than $6 a ton. The Navy department commandeered coal, but Secretary Baker rejected advice to pursue the same course and, panicky over the possibility of| a fuel shortage, weut iuto the spot market and | ladled something like four-and-a-half millions of public money into the pockets of the profiteers. The senate committer investigating coal profi- teering has unearthed this much of the facts. Colonel Barney, purchasing agent for the War department, admitted the transaction, but pro- fessed naive ignorance of where the profit went and had no means of investigating. It might be interesting to get at the inside of. the National! Coal association, whose president, D. B: Wentz, admits he took a commission of $75,000 on a fraction of the purchase. Colonel Barney testi- fied that the system cost the government “thous- ands and thousands of dollars,” but regarded the situation apparently as ordinary and common- place. -There is a hope of getting away from this kind’ of administration soon after March 4, but the Augean condition of the departments calls for an | eral Cooper said that there are British influences | not to think what you shall write.

Now I've YOUR INCOME TAX | | When, How, What to Pay | oP BY GRAHAM B. NICHOL U. S. Bureau of Internal Revenue. Thousands of persons whose income by reasons of the exemptions were non-taxable made the mistake last yéar of failing to file an income tax return although one was due. For this they’were assessed a nominal fine of from $5 to $10. ‘The Bureau of Internal Revenue this year is emphasizing’ the fact that the requirements to file an income tax re- turn are based solely on a person’s marital status and amount of his or her net income for the year 1920. Single persons with net incomes of $1000 or more, and married. persons with net incomes of $2000 or more, must - file'a return regardless of whether their incomes are non-tax- able, After determining the amount of his exomptions the taxpayer in order to make the correct’ return must ascer- tain carefully his gross and net in- come for the year. -Net income is gross income less cer- tain specified deductions which in- clude expenditures ‘incurred in. the conduct of a business, trade or pro- fession and other deductions such “ts | personal taxes, losses, contributions. interest and bad debts. Forms 1040 for reporting individual returns of income in excess of $500 are now available at offices of collec- tors of internal revenue and branch offices. Forms 1040A for reporting individ- ual returns or incomes of $5000, and less. it is expected, will be ready for distribution within a few days. THE HOUSEWIFE OF. 1921.

I now weigh 144 pounds and my health is splendid. I never dreamed that there was a medicine on earth that would cause me to regain my former weight and health in so short a time, but Tanlac did it and I simply can not tell you how grateful I am to this wonderful medicine. I suffered for two years from in- digestion“and dyspepsia and was in a very badly. run-down condition. I had a tired, worn-out feeling nearly all of the time and.rarely had any appetite. At times I would have indigestion so badly that I. could hardly breathe. I algo suffered . from’ palpitation. of the heart, severe headaches and pains in my back, but thanks to Tanlac, all of these terrible symptoms have left me and I now feel as well as ‘I ever felt in my life. © Another thing; I, sleep. just splen- i didly at night“now’ and never suffer from nervousness like I used'to.
