JOHN MONTGOMERY LAID TO REST HERE ON MONDAY DEPORTATION OR MENT? INTERN- It speaks ill for the- resourceful ness of our Federal officials that they have been able to devise nothing better than deportation as a solution for our undesirable-alien problem; and we therefore regret to read the recent glaring headlines of our daily p'apers announcing that the big police and detective forces of our federal government are making a nation wide drive for the purpose of round ing up and deporting to Europe all of our undesirable alien residents. It seems that a far better plan wpuld be to hold these aliens in concentration camps here pending a final settle ment of affairs in Europe. No doubt there are thousands of foreigners in the United States at the present time who are a menace to the peace and welfare of the coun try, and the situation unquestion ably calls for prompt and vigorous attention; but it does not necessarily follow that we should unload this trouble of ours on European coun tries by compelling them, at this critical time, when they are struggl ing so desperately and almost hope lessly to maintain responsible govern ments, to absorb the large numbers of dangerous aliens who are worry ing us here. Our soldiers went to Europe to bring order out of chaos, and we are keeping them there to preserve such order; and it would seem that, if we are ever to be able to bring our soldier-boys home again, we must do all that we can to improve conditions over there rather than to make them worse. It would, of course, cost us some' thing to hold these aliens here in concentration camps until the Euro pean crisis is safely passed, but it would cost us a whole lot more to increase the size of our European army, or even to prolong its stay abroad for a Binglo additional month in order to counteract the evil influ ence there of the large number of lawless people whom our govern mental authorities are preparing to deport. We therefore feel that this intern ment plan especially since it would be fully as effective as deportation and can be easily arranged in con nection with our many army train ing camps is worthy of most ser " ious consideration.

They resist wear surprisingly-. After working around the clinker department long enough to wear out two pairs of ordinary soles, my Neolin Soles ares still as good as new," writes A. F. Miller, superintend ent of The Peninsular I 'ortland Cement Company plant in Jackson, Michigan. It is remarkable how tough and dur able Neolin Soles arc. They are made so by Science comfortable and water proof, too. They come on new shoes in many styles for men, women, and children, and are available everywhere for re-soling. Wear them, and cut your shoe bills down. Neiilin Soles are made by The Good year Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guar anteed to outwear all other heels.

Miller, defines the exact meaning of the designation "head of a fam ily," such person being allowed the $2000.00 exemption granted a mar ried person in the filing of an income tax return. A head of a family," said Collect or Miller, "is a person who actually supports in one household one or more persons closely connected with him by blood relationship, relation ship by marriage or by adoption. Whether in the absence of continu ous residence with his dependents, a person is the head of a family, de pends upon the character of the sep aration. If the benefactor is absent on business or on account of military or naval service, or a child or other dependent is absent temporarily at school or- on a . vifsit, 1jhe common home being maintained, the exemp tion of $2000.00 applies. If, how ever, the dependent continuously makes his home elsewhere, the bene factor, irrespective of the question of support, is not the head of a fam ily. In the case of man and wife, the joint exemption of $2000.00 allowed a married couple replaces the indi vidual exemption allowed each only ir they live together. Unavoidable absence of a wife or husband at a sanitarium or asylum on account of illness does not preclude -claiming the exemption. If, however, the hus band continuously and voluntarily makes his home at one place and the wife at another, each must file an in dividual return of net income of $1,0000.00 or more, and each is as sessed on the amount of net income in excess of $1000.00. A person under twenty-one years of age or under the statutory age of majority where he lives, whatever it icuiy uv, is requireu to render a re turn if he had a new income for 1918 of $1000.00 or more or guard ian may render the return for him. Tho earnings of minor children de pendent upon a parent should he in cluded in the parent's return of income." Opening' Friday, March 14, at 9 &.m.

I'toruia women did their part last year in producing and conserving food, but this year their plans are even more extensive. Not only are increased production und conserva lion asked for by the extension work ers but better care of the nennlo'a health is also urged. the women livine in the mnnti-v mivu ueen asKea to keep two cows so each child may have one quart of mine a day and each adult one glass Milk at present is scarce and ex. pensive m Florida, largely because of me cattle tever tick. Much mill; is mported from outside territory nml (lining tho winter months a large proportion of it goes to feed tourists. At the time of the heavy hotel de mand the amount available for Flor ida's children is much reduced. I): ; planned to produce more poultry and eggs as well as vegetables, grapes, and berries. The women nre preparing to can meat, fish, and vegetables by steam measure tanners, to dry fruit andJ vegetables in home-made driers or in a community one, to brine and Dickie some vegetables, and to make fruit juices and vinegar. Gallons of aDule ""S" "e now snipped into Flor ida while in almost every locality fruit suitable for vinegar "making is available. The homo demonstration agent asks the women to avoid wast ing food. Town women are asked to keep a cow or to buy sufficient milk so each child may have a quart daily, keep 10 pullets for laying etrirs. have n garden, and do their share in food preservation and conservation.

The matter 'of 'a definition or stan- dard for butter is not before the Secretary of Agriculture for consid eration at the present time, say. the officials in the Bureau of Chemistry in charge of the enforcement of the food and drugs act, in answer to numerous inquiries from butter man ufacturers. The joint committee on definitions and standards, which is composed of representatives of the Association of American Dairy, Food, and Drug Officials, the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, and the United States Department of Ag riculture, has had the matter under consideration for sime time, and pub lic hearings on the subject were held in St. Paul on June 19, 1918, and in Washington on June 24, 1918. The committee still has tho matter under consideration. No conclusion has been reached, and it is unlikely that a final decision will be reached at any time in the near future. Ac cording to the usual practice, the joint' committee makes its recom mendation first to the Association of American Dairy, Food, and Drug Of ficials and the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists. If these as sociations adopt the recommendation of the committee, the matter is then referred to the Deparment of Agri culture for consideration. If the de partment approves -the recommenda tion, the definition or standard is then promulgated for the guidance of the officials of the department charged with the duty of enforcing tho tood and drugs act, and also of food and drug officials of the various states.

Smut Losses Being Reduced Twenty-five per cent more farm ers in the United States treated seed to prevent cereal smuts in the 1918 spring and fall seeding seasons than during tho previous year, according to an estimate recently made by the United States Department of Agri culture, based on surveys and on in creased demand for formaldehyde and copper sulphate, which are used in making the treatment. The estimat ed national loss due to smuts in the, 1918 crop was 25,500,000 bushels of wheat; 110,000,000 bushels of oats; and 6,000,000 of barley. Minnesota and Nebraska together lost during 1918 over 8,000,000 bushels of wheat from stinking smut alone, practical ly all of which could have been pre vented by a simple treatment prev ious to seeding.
