C. Converse. The tax was as- sessed by a law passed at the last session of the legislature. t Most of the companies of the state paid the tax from the beginning, more than a year and a half ago.

COUPLE TAKES HOME ON THREE-YEAR AUTO TOUR TRAVELING HOME OF J. T. KETTE.. BELOW: LEFT, THE “KITCHEN STOVE”; RIGHT, SAME AS BUFFET. By NEA Service Seattle, Wash., Aug. 26.—For the j next three years Mr, and Mrs. J. T. Kette will be visiting, snail-like, every part of the United States! Snail-like, not in specd, but in the fact that their home will be moving with them. The Kettes have built a comfort- able bungalow on a small one-ton truck chassis and are already on the road. The traveling home pro- vides all conveniences a young mar- ried couple would want. The body, of wood with a sheet iron covering, has front and rear en- trances. Windows on each side, with homey curtains, provide light. A tank under the rear carries 26 gal- lons of water. Lockers on each side carry food. An ice box, in front, can be opened by the driver without stopping the car, ‘ Five minutes’ work converts the big compartment into a dining-room, kitchen, bedroom’ or living-room. Sliding back a cover makes an oil stove ready for cooking Whd swings out two cabinets containing silver- ware utensils and dishes. prepared, a table for four people lifts up from the wall'on the other side. To the rear, an inviting couch in daytime is made into a full-sized bed at night by relasing its spring holders. A sewing machine can be swung out under the work-table when needed. A full-length mirror and drawers, combined with an ingenious clothes closet provide wardobe fa-! cilities. A medicine chest on the wall can be converted into a writing desk by turning it around. Carpet covers the floor, electricity lights the interior and @ canary is the final home-like touch. The Kettes have already covered distance enough to tell the value of their modern ark. They will reach Wahington, D. C., in. time to attend the Shriners’ convention next year Ora TRE | Additional Markets | oO Grain Market Range (By the Associated Press) Minneapolis, Aug. 26.— Open.

Don’t Hurry Corn: to Silo, Warning of Dairy Official 'Give that field of corn a chance to do its best for. you, requests Wm. Poge. assistant dairy commissioner, who has had four gears study of the silage question in sowa where corn and silage are indispensible ‘adjunccs to the stock farm. “Do not make the mistake of putting it into the silo before the majority of the ears show a hard glaze, if a flint corn, or are well dented, if it is a dent variety. Do not’ fear that corn in the latter stage will be too dry to make excel- lent silage. If the corn.is then cut and ensiled within one or two days, no water need be added. The corn will show plenty of moisture when it enters the silo and there will be a minimum loss of nutrients from leak- age. , 2 Sa i “Several experiments conducted to compare the feeding value of corn harvested for silage in the ‘silk, milk, dough and dented stages have, shown conelsively that the latter stage gives not only the heaviest tonnage per acre but also produces more digesti- ble nutrients per ton, thus giving it a proportionately greater » feeding value, “Complaints of “a too sour silage are commonly the outgrowth of put- ' ting the corn in the silo while yet ‘ quite soft and immature. Although the cattle will eat a large amount of very sour silage in preference ¢: nothing but dry roughage, yet *it is ‘not consumed with the appetite no- ticed when a good sweet silage made from nearly matured corn in fed, “But sourness must, not be taken as the chief fault, The material ad- vantage of silage made from nicely matured corn will be noticed on the ribs of the beef animal and in the pail which holds the milk of the good dairy cow.

H., Aug. 26,—The kingdom that “died” but never was conquered; the kingdom with the smallest standing army on ‘record, three men; the kingdom of Nualolo, behind its walls of mountain and surf in an almost forgotten corner of the Island of Kauai, is being “rediscoveres : This ancient domain, the only part of Hawaii which King Kame- hameha ‘the Great would not bring under’ his scepter when he routed all other rivals in battle and united the islands, has been reopened.
