TARIFF ON GAME BIRDS CHANGED The new tariff act certainly pleases r'ikdke very large proup , of American citizens--the 7,500,000 sportsmen who contribute funds for the importation of game birds for propagating purposes, reads an article in the August tosue of Outdoor America, official publication of the Izaak Walton Leapie of America. Heretofore the tariff imposed upon states and individuals importing game birds lor propagating purposes was an unnecessary burden; the states paid Uncle Sam many thousands of dollars in duty on Hungarian partridges, Mexican bob-white quail, . ringneck pheasants and other species of game birds. The new taw also exempts game bjrds killed by sportsmen who are • fortunate enough to enjoy a hunting trip in a foreign country.

Andres Segovia, noted guitarist, was traveling to New York from Florida recently, and he spent the evening practicing in his drawing room. After a long session of nimble strumming, he decided on a stroll down the' car corridor. Opening the door, he found most of the passengers in his car grouped around it. In their midst was the pullman porter. Said the porter: "That was hot stuff, boss. If you could only play the saxophone like that, you'd make a lot of money." • • • 8. S. Van Dine. Wlllard Huntington Wright, alias S. S. Van Dine, author of detective yarns and creator of Philo Vance, is of the opinion that we're all criminals at heart. Otherwise, he reasons, why should his millions of readers never object to a certain frustration of the law? If you've read of the Phllo Vance exploits, you remember that the detective captures his murderer every time, but never turns him over to the police for trial and execution. In every story, the murderer is permitted to kill himself, or is accidentally killed. Nobody, says Wright, has ever objected to thift obvious flouting of the due process Of law. Wright began writing detective stories when doctors told him he couldn't do any serious thinking. Previously, he had written such tidbits as a treatise on modern painting and a critical examination of the encyclopedia britannica. He started his detective yams after a three year nervous breakdown, during which illness he was not allowed to read serious books. He read detective tales and works on criminology, and decided he could do as well. He is writing his sixth and last S. S. Van Dine story--the last for a while, at any rate--and plans to return to more serious pursuits. The Philo Vance books have made enough money so he can go back to writing pieces about encyclopedias. Talkies for thsffc Most of the movie theaters in New Tork have been forced, by the talkies to provide special equipment for deaf patrons. Certain rows have been set aside for those who are hard of hearing, and by applying at the box office the afflicted may obtain telephone receives to plug into connections on their chair arms. These receivers amplify the sound from the films. Many legitimate theaters and the metropolitan opera are similarly equipped, but it is necessary in these to pay a fee for use of the apparatus, The talkies are glad enough not to lose the patronage of the deaf, and the service is provided free of charge.

Within a radius of twenty-five miles of New York are dozens of hideaways where the ungentle sport of cock fighting is indulged in. Most of the big fights are staged In lonely forming sections at midnight or after. Spectators arrive at a designated meeting spot by automobile, and are led from there to the tanbark ring where the battles take place. Several barns have been fitted up as miniature stadiums, and these places are far more closely guarded than speakeasies. Gnats Make "Smoke" Columbus, lnd. -- Seeing "smoke" curling about the tower of the Bartholomew county courthouse here, res idents of Columbus called the fire department. An Inspection by firemen failed to reveal even a spark. -Mode Pennybaker, custodian of the building, solved the mystery of the lost "smoke," explaining that a swarm of gnats hovering around the tower appeared to be smoke at the first glance. Calcium, Phosphorus Store Up Energy for Winter. - Te insure healthy, robust animals* able to produce the milk needed this coming winter. Dr. L. A. Maynard of rhe Cornell university agricultural ex perlment station says that cows inusi hnve plenty of calclun. and phos phorus during the summer. The usual summer ration of pasture and grain he says, does not contain enough ot these elements. Further, experiments show that cows will make better use of mifieral supplements during the pasture season than at other times. The liberal feeding of minerals now will not only provide for current need? but will also enable the animal to store up reserve* for the period when their assimilation of food is more difficult. A mixture of equal parts of steam bone meal, finely ground limestone and salt, or a mixture of two parts of the bone meal and one part of salt makes a good mineral supplement. The simplest way is to place one of these mixtures in a box In the barnyard where the cows can eat it at will. Some sort of a cover should be built over the box to protect it from rain. It is a good thing to give the cows access to one of these mixtores even when the grain mixture contains minerals, because the grain fed during the summer may not contain enough. A better way to feed the minerals, but one that takes more time, is to mix three to four ounces of the mixture with one of the grain feeding each day. All animals, whether dry or milking, should be fed the extra minerals. Aside from common salt, calcium and phosphorus are the oply minerals that are needea as a mineral supplement. The purchase of a complex mineral mixture containing laxatives and tonics is a waste of money, says Doctor Maynard. Water Materially Helps Maintain Flow of Mill? Water is as necessary to life as food, but how rarely is it given adequate attention, particularly in the summer. To maintain the summer milk fiow at the highest pitch a liberal supply of pure water is needed. No matter bow good the pastures, the cows cannot produce well if they are deprived of water. For both digestion and assimilation of food, water is necessary. It regulates the temperature of the body, and provides for the water content of the milk, which Is more than 80 per cent by weight of Itii volume. Experience has proved that cows in milk need approximately three pounds of water for every pound of milk produced. Very heavy producers then may need from ten to fifteen gallons in 24 hours. During summer many herds are not supplied with enough water to meet this need. If the water Is not before the cows all the time, they should have access to It at least twice a day, preferably three times during the hot weather. If this is done there will not a falling off in the milk supply. IF 1GHAB0D CRANE HAD A FLASHLIGHT U «y JOHN G. LONSDALl President American Bankers! Association s ^ WSJ ALL remember the Story of Iehabod Crane and the headless horse* qaan. There was the dark form by the side of the roadthundering hoofs on the Sleepy Hollow highway --> and Ichabod fleeing in confused terror before this terrible monster. If Ichabod had only known that his hobgoblin was an inventive rival disguised with a a pumpkin head, John Q. Lonsdale k® would have bad a good laugh and gone op with the business of vanquishing his competitor. What fchabod really needed was a modern flashlight. Then he would have discovered tiis trickery at once. Many business men need the flashlight of analysis to uncover the hobgoblins in thefr business and then they might sit back and laugh at their rivals who hesitate to investigate and learn the truth. At this time, when business and banking are making strenuous efforts to have a clear vision ahead, it is especially important that the power of research and analysis be employed to their fullest extent. When these twin brothers of good management have been pressed into service in all fields, I am confident we shall see a further lessening of periods of stress. However, I believe business in general has learned the valuable lesson that any prosperity that is not leavened with a little adversity would not seem bMk cally safe or eound.

Therefore the efficiency with which a farmer feeds determines whether he will remain among those producing at a profit Herein lies the one great hope of the producer of dairy products, for in the narrowing of his field of competition, low prices at the same time provide for under-production and a subsequent rise in prices. inn i n 11 n m i i n t n t i » i Dairy Hints f 11 n 111 M 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n i n 11 m Warn Varnish - If heat your varnish very lightly before applying.

Try oar classified ads--they nn bring results^ tftrtons proposals that memWer banks in the Federal Reserve System should participate -more largely in its net earnings through an increase in the dividend rate aTfove the preeent fixed 6 per cent "would be a very small financial inducement" to them, It is declared in a recent stud$r of this subject by the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association. This is shown, the commission says, by a theoretical forecast, on the basis of the past six years, of additional earnings that would be disbursed to member banks during the next six years under two plans introduced In bills btefore the United States Senate. "The Fletcher bill provides that Federal Reserve Bank earnings, after present 6 per cent dividends to members and completion of a 100 per cent surplus, should all be distributed as extra dividends to the stockholder banks," the report says. "If the earnings of each Federal Reserve hank were distributed among its own members there would be no extra dividends in the Boston, New York, Philaadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco districts during the next six years, but the other six Federal Reserve Banks would pay annual extras at the following rates: Richmond, 6.08 per cent; Atlanta, 4.09 per cent; St. Lotiis, 3.50 per cent; Minneapolis, , 9.51 per cent; Kansas City, 6.48 per cent; Dallas, 4.83 per cent. "If the earnings were pooled and paid out to all members in all districts each member would receive an average annual extra dividend of .78 per cent. Under this plan no franchise tax as now would be paid by the Federal Reserve Banks to the Federal Government. Another Plan Anslyzed "The Glass bill would provide that, after present 6 per cent dividends, one-half the remainder should be paid to member banks as an extra dividend with the residue going to (surplus and Federal Government as franchise tax. The average annual extras to members would be as follows: Boston District, 2.51 per cent; New York, .48 per cent; Philadelphia, 2.05 per cent; Cleveland, 2.09 per cent; Richmond, 3.26 per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per cent; Chicago, 3.20 per cent; St. Louis, 2.02 per cent; Minneapolis, 4.76 per cent; Kansas City, 2.74 per cent; Dallas, S.31 per cent; San Francisco, 1.87 per cent. "If these extra funds were pooled the result would be an extra average annual dividend of 1.73 per cent for each member. Under this plan the system would still pay as now an annual franchise tax, amounting to $1,941,996 on the aVerage." By way ot concrete instance, the report says, a member hank having capital and surplus of $200,000, therefore holding Federal Reserve Bank etock amounting to $6,000 on which it is receiving $360 under the present 6 per cent dividend arrangement, would with the addition of each 1 per cent to the dividend rate receive en additional income of $60 a year.
