~~I8 INTERESTING HIDELIGHT Potter‘s In Dr. Potter‘s life of the prophet, appearing in the Woman‘s Home Companion, he declares that early in his career Mohammed incurred the displeasure of the wealthy merchants of Mecea by branding the place as ‘Jolatrous and the customs which had gprown up about it as superstitions. He further announced that Jerusaâ€" lem henceforth should be the holy city. U P omven euss e "It was," a resident town which + pon the st EDCE "It was," says Dr. Potter, "as if a resident of an old New Englard town which depended for its income + pon the summer tourists who came to see its historical sites, should perâ€" sixtentiy‘ proclaim in public that ali the favorite stories about the old beroes were myths and that all profitâ€" pble history of the town was mere superstition." n . oomimien.. ase SUPRDOHTOCO Mecca‘s business was really hurt, says the author, and the group which in later days might have been A t hamber of Commerce, rose against the revolutionary preacher.

Figures recently issued by the Income Tax Unit show that up to August 31 of last year some 412,â€" E3 corporations had reported on their incomesâ€"or lossesâ€"for 1926. Of these 248,892, or just about 60 per cent, reported net income. The other 40 per cent showed deficits. ‘That is not a change for the worse, for, of the corporations which reâ€" ported on their 1925 business, 58.6 per cent only were successful, while in the bleak year of 1921 only 48 per cent of our corporations _ reâ€" ported net incomes. In that year also the average net income of each prospering corporation | was about $95.000. while in 1926 it was $37,000.

IMPORTED FOR THAT END No Wheat Brought Into Country For Use Here Since July, 1927; Refutes Tariff The United States Department of Commerce reports that no wheat has been imported for consumption since July 1, last year. That proves that the tariff or 42 cents a bushel proâ€" tects the American wheat growers in their home milling markets. If it were not for the tariff, milis all along the border would depress the American market with threats to bring in Canadian wheat. It is true, as free traders say, that the United States has a surplus of wheat and must sell it abroad at world priees. But there are years when we have no surplus of good milling wheat; and always there are deficient in firstâ€"class milling grades, and the inevitable tendency would be, when supplies ran low, for the milâ€" lers to bring in Canadian grain, if it were not for the tariff, says the Seattle Spokesman Review. But one consulting the reports of the Department of Commerce will discover that, since July 1, 5,665,000 bushels of Canadian grain were imâ€" ported into the United States. . It is 1 M ME uds pMOCIY necessary to note the distinction in the official reports. No wheat was imported for consumption in | this country. The imported grain is for grinding in bonded mills for the exâ€" port trade. . The importing miller pays the tariff of 42 cents a bushel and is allowed, on proof of export, to draw back 99 per cent as a reâ€" fund. But he can‘t take the rebate until he has given proof that he has mixed with the imported Canadian grain a liberal percentage of Ameriâ€" canâ€"grown wheat. That provision was put in the law for the benefit of American wheat growers and with the approval of their representatives in Washington. It was reasoned that the Canadian wheat would find foreign markets anyway, and it would be better, unâ€" der these safeguards, to let some of it be ground in American mills and help to carry Americanâ€"grown wheat Mrs. John D. Sherman, President of the General Federation of Woâ€" men‘s Clubs, discussing "What Do Women‘s Clubs Do?" in the March Schribner‘s Magazine, says: "The American clubâ€"woman have attained their present position by their own efforts. . As long as our women have the desire they now Fave for knowledge, selfâ€"improveâ€" ment, and the best that can be had for their children, their homes, and and their community, I think there abroad.
