The generous re sponse from advertisers insured the success of the enter prise financially. Enough advertising was received to have justified a 32-page pjapcr, but advertisers did not send in copy early enough to permit another section. A page of advertising was crowded out. As it was, nearly 2-100 inches of adver tising were set, which is going somo for a country office. Guts made for the edition did not arrive in time for use, and will be printed in next Sunday's issue. Many of the special articles also crowded out will be printed then.

Pence wants the states to ratify the income tax amend ment to the Constitution and then go on record as favor ing the abolishment of the present internal revenue taxes on liquor. He declares that this will solve the question of the rights of the states in dealing with the liquor prob lem. Pence argues this way: "The internal revenue taxes on .liquor were levied orig inally way back in the reconstruction period after the civil war. It was intended to replenish a depleted treasury. President Iincoln only assented to the lev" on this-under-standing. But Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet and for some inscrutable reason the law was never repealed. Uncle Sam has been making money out of the whisky busi ness ever since. It is a good source of revenue. In these times of billion dollar congresses the government couldn't afford to lose as tidy a sum as the distillers and brewers pay into the treasury. "The distillers and brewers aren't anxious to have the levy repealed. Uncle Sam gives them a measure of pro tection against the enforcement of certain state laws in return for the tax. They are willing to pay it. " Pence proposes to solve the problem by repealing the measure and substituting as a revenue producer the income tax. He has figured out that this will more than cover the receipts which the government gets from the internal rev enue taxes. He contends that it will give the states a free hand in dealing with the liquor problems. The former congressman is planning a non-partisan campaign of education to put his plan before the people. He will head a delegation which will meet Roosevelt and try to get him to endorse the scheme.. He also will seek the approval of William Jennings Bryan. calicos, and the remote cause.

The bulletin says in part: "It is possible that during the approach and recession of Halfey's comet unusual electro-magneto phenomena may occur. Electro-magneto magnets may be sent up by electrical discharges or meteoric particles, in which case disturbances would be observed in the receiving apparatus of wireless installations. The maximum effect will be ob served between the 16th and 20th of May, and particularly on May 18. "It is requested that wireless operators pay particular attention to static effects during this period, and note any thing unusual. The occurrence of meteorites should be logged by the watch officer, with details of time, size, di rection and duration. The operator hearing unusual noises in the telephone, should note tho time, and see whether there were any meteorites observed at that time; also the ship's head and the direction of the antennae at the same time.
