are uncertain of tho effect of the new

May postal receipts from 50 selected

evidence presented by this comparison
was not conclusive.

$100,000,000 in Excess of Government's
Forecast Possible.
Washington, D. C Federal income
tax collections for the fiscal year end
ing June 30 may reach $1,775,000,000,
it was predicted Monday at the treas
ury on the basis of receipts thus far
reported in the June installment, time
for payments of which expired Mon
day night.
This forecast of the year's total
meant that the receipts were expect
ed to exceed the estimate made prior
to the beginning of the fiscal year by
more than $100,000,000 and might go
as high as $115,000,000 above that
amount.
Official reports to the treasury June
1 were said by Acting Secretary Win
ston to have shown that only about
$200,000,000 in the June payment
would carry the year's receipts above
the estimate and he expected the
installment to range from $320,000,000
to $330,000,000. This would provide a
surplus of receipts over expenditures
which would materially exceed the
estimated amount upon which the gov
ernment could rely to reduce outstand
ing indebtedness.
While it appeared certain that the
year's receipt! would run higher than
had been pre viously calculated, It was
officially disclosed that the refunds of
lax overpayment! had amounted to
$132,000,000 June 1, which was meas
urably higher than had been anticipat
ed. This condition was offset to some
extent by the increases in the col
lection of back taxes, but It was point
ed out that the tax audits were con
tinuing and decisions by the board of
lax appeals were likely to incrense the
total on refunds before the end of the
month.
It was evident that treasury offi
cials wire giving close attention to
the results of the March and June tax
Inatallmenti to aa certain the effect of
lowered rail's on returns from the
higher surtax brackets. The treasury
has consistently held that if the high
er surtax were cut capital would flow
quickly into productive enterprise and
the result would be an increase In tax
able Instead of tax-exempt items.

Big Crops Forecast.
Los Angeles.- William Jardine, sec
retary of agriculture, predicted a year
of greal production in the agricultural
areas of tho United States for 1925 at

Mr. Jardine presented his optimistic
forecast at a luncheon of the chamber
Of commerce which also was attend
ed by delegates to the economic con
ference ( the southwest from the
stales of California, Arizona, Nevada
anil Utah,
The secretary took occasion to
score "wheal hoarders," whose policy
of holding on to wheat, he said, was
ruinous to olherwise prosperous condi
tions. He said that the same criticism
was applicable to all agricultural cen
ters of the middle west.
"What agricultural interests of the
country need," said Mr. Jardine, "Is
the injection into their affairs of the
methods of big business. There is
loo much confusion. We need a clear
ing of the atmosphere, and farmers
must mil rely on legislation alone to
retain their prosperity. They must
reorganize."
The secretary concluded with n plea
for closer relations between the busi
ness man and the farmer.

President Calles Issues De
fiant Statement.
CRISIS SEEMS NEAR
Washington Opinionllolds Statement
Arrogantfand Threatening
in Its Tone.
Washington, D. C. Affairs between
tho United States and Mexico took a
swift turn in the direction of a crisis
Sunday, it was confidently believed
here, when President Calles of Mex
ico issued a curt statement replying
to that made two days ago by Secre
tary cf State Kellogg.
President Calles' rejoinder, given
to the newspapers late Sunday after
noon by the Mexican embassy, is ar
rogant and defiant in tone. It is al
most threatening. President Calles ac
cuses Secretary Kellogg of being con
tradictory as to facts and asserts it
Is his duty to his government to "recti
fy said statements as required by
truth and justice."
Throughout the entire statement,
the United States is treated in tone
as just one of a number of foreign
countries with whom Mexico has to
deal and not at all as a powerful next
door neighbor whose patience has
been, to use Mr. Kellogg's words, ex
hausted by repeated refusals of the
southern republic to protect Ameri
can lives and property. It is true
that President Calles insists the Mex
ican government is determined to com
ply with obligations, "imposed by in
ternational law" but qualifies this
pledge by asserting that ho nation
may pretend to create a privileged
situation for its nationals in Mexico
nor will this government accept any
foreign interference "contrary to the
rights of the sovereignty of Mexico."
President Calles resents Secretary
Kellogg's assertion that Mexico is now
on trial before the eyes of the world
and insists that If Mexico is placed
in tho role of a defenadnt by such
a statement his government "absolute
ly rejects with energy inch imputation
which In essence would only mean an
Insult."
President Calles employed the same
DtedlUm to reply to the secretary of
state as Mr. Kellogg to acquaint the
country with the policy being pursued
by this government, namely, the press.
It. Is now clear that the return of
Ambassador Sheffield from Mexico
City at this time had a deeper sig
nificance than was generally believ
ed. Since the Issuance of the Kellogg
statement. It has become known that
his course of warning Mexico follow
ed Hie secret exchange of notes be
tween the two governments in which
Secretary Kellogg is said to have men
tioned specific cases Involving Amer
ican citizens and properly and to have
demanded sharply that indemnities be
paid forthwith. Ambassador Sheffield,
despite the Interviews, optimistic in
lone, which he gavo out upon his ar
rival In New York, It is now believ
ed, realized that an accute stage in
relations between the two countries
was approaching and was summoned
bOM In order that the president, the
K .'rotary of state and other member!
of the cabinet might be made rully ac
QUalntd with the Mexican situation
through first-hand Information.

Over tinsel toys
But. for something really sweet,
Thut's got any other beat !
Out of debt and In the bank!
Something laid away
For the time your luck Is rank,
For a rainy day.
Talk about your "safety first !"
That's the best, ugulnst the worst.
Out of debt and In the cleurl
Wulk along the street,
.Not n fellow that you fear,
Man you hnte to meet.
You can look them in the eye,
Chest 'way out, and stepping high.
Out of debt and bought a bond !
Eurning all the time;
Saving something for beyond.
Hays you're in your prime.
Laying up a competence
Looks like simple common sense.

IS IT DELANO?
"pHE name of this family might be
Included In a list of names that
are peculiarly American, because while
It Is of French origin, you will never
find its like In France.
You may trace It back to Philip de
Ln Noye, who was probably the son
of Jean de Launey, or de Lanoue.
Philip came to Plymouth on the For
tune ln lGlil from Leyden. Governor
Wlnslow ln his history of the colo
nists tells us that he was born of
French parents and that when he had
expressed his desire to come Into
communion with the English colonists
he proved himself to have come "from
such parents as were in full com
munion with the French churches."
By this Wlnslow of course meant that
he was a son of thoroughly Protestant
parents.
His father, Jean, wus born about
1003 ln Leyden.
Philip was married In Huxbury,
whither he went after leaving 1'ly
mouth, to Esther Pewsbury, and later
to Mary Pontus, widow of James
Glass. Later he went to Brldgewater
and then was one of the purchasers of
Dartmouth and later of Middle
borough. The nnrue Delano was not spelled
In that way until the time of Philip's
grandchildren.
It Is Interesting Hint one of his
great-grandchildren, Susannah by
name, married Noah Grunt, and was
therefore an ancestress of Gen. U. S.
Grant.
The nume has been traced to lta
French source, nnd It Is believed to
be identical to that borne by a promi
nent family of Brittany, to which be
longed Francois de la Nolle, known us
the Iron-armed. He was a brave war
rior, and bore his soubriquet because
after having lost an arm in battle it
was replaced by one of Iron to an
swer the purpose of holding his reins
while on horseback.
