PROGRESSIVE FLORIDA FARMER COULD DO AS WELL Spokane, Wash., Jan. 5. —Out of the profits realized from three pigs, purchased a year ago for $30 each, J. K. Smawley, a farmer living 80 FOURTH TIME | miles south of Spokane, has started on a trip around the United States. Smawley has $525 for the trip, and in addition has the three pigs with which he started’ his herd. At the Lewston (Idaho) Live Stock Show, a little more than a year ago he pur- chased the original trio of Berks hogs at $20 each. With a dele of their offspring he returned to the live stock show this year and his yvoung pizs won six blue ribbons. There was a lively demand for Smaw- ley's young porkers, and he sold fif- teen for §3i cach, a total of $525. With this amount, which he charact- erizes as “velvet,” hecause hog rais- ing with him is a side issue to wheat farming, Smawley has started his journey, whieh will include stops at New York, Washington, Baltimore, points in the Carolinas where he for- merly lived, and in other Southern States. He will return through Texas (alifornia and Oregon. CHANGED HIS MIND per | the bitterest political and legal bat- tles ever waged in this State. he men to be tried are Charles Baranov, Joseph Gordon, Thomas Geary and David Rose.

The men have the quiet support of some of the most powerful political interests in Chi cago. Ostensibly, however, their bat- tles are being fought solely with the aid of their attorneys. POSTMASTERS DON'T ESCAPE THE INCOME TAX Jacksonville, Jan. §. Postmaster ). T. Gerow has received official no- tice from the secretary of the treas- through the first assistant post- master general, masters, over $3,000, are subject to the income tax and that the disburs ing officers will be instructed to de duct the amount due when he sends checks for salary. If any postmaster is entitled to exemptions allowed, certification of this will be made by the postmaster and the amount so exempt will not be taxed. This sets at rest the thought that postmasters would possibly be exempt from the operations of the law. The only exemptions allowed are the present president for one term, the judges of the supreme and inferior courts of the United States and State, county and municipal officers and employes. The act says: “Thig includes all salaries paid to State, county and to municipal officers and public school teachers, and special compensation paid by a State or a subdivision thereof for professional services. ury, {whether in the shape of salaries or special fees,” PENSACOT.A GETS A BAT- TLESHIP FOR KEEPS, Tnunizm] type for the remainder.
