INCOME TAX
Evidently the income tax a to
be a live issue in the coming cam
paign. We wonder what our Mor
row County taxpayers think ol
taxing incomes.
SAVLNCS BANKS
In 1840 there were, in the Uni

78 701 depositors and deposits to

there were 1603 banks, 13.971.
793 depositors and a total of $8,

How the butterflies manage to cross

Certain It Is that when settled In a
locality, painted lady butterflies never
appear to make long flights and spend
virtually all their time flitting front

Another polut which has to be
cleared up Is whether after this tre
mendous migration the butterflies
make any attempt at a returu Journey.
If there should be a flight toward the
south at the end of the summer, It Is
prohuble that the Insects would be
long to a later generation than those
that migrated In the spring. As Is
well known, the life of an Individual

Mud'$ Important Part
in Earth's Formation
Importance of mud knd the part It
played In the earth s formation was
tiie theme of a lecture by a noted
Welsh geologist speaking on Welsh
geology at Cardiff. lie afflrtned that
tiiud was one of nature's most lmnr
t. nt productions a commodity with
out w hich man could not live. Chmmes
In the earth's crust had profoundly
s'teced tha muds which had been
formed In past periods of the earth's
history. One of the most Interesting
of rocks produced by the alteration of
n:ud was slate, and the slates for
which norfli Wales was so famous
were formed during a period when
that part of the earth's crust was In a
condition of violent unrest, and some
very ancient muds were intensely
stiueeied. The effect of the squeezing

Its particles round until they all came

Tht result of this, and other change
which accompanied It, was to make It
possible to split the rock Into thin

Bt$t Baits for Love
The more wheels there are In a
watch, the more trouble they are to
take crt of. The movements of ex
illation which belong to genius are
egoUstlc by their very nature. A
calm, clear mind, not subject to
pssiua and crises which are so often
iii"t with In creative or Intensely per
ceptive natures. Is the bent basis for
love or friendship. Observe, I am
alklng about minds. I won't say the
nore Intellect, the less capacity for
Moving; for that would do wrong to
'lie understanding and reason ; but, am
tha other hand, that the brain often
runt away with the bearte best blood,
which gives the world a few pages of
wisdom or poetry. Instead of making
one other heart happy, have no

Funny Ambitions
The question in an English periodi

brought out many clever and amusing
an iwers. Here are a few of them :
.The sun, because It Is always sure of
a rise.
The letter "f," for then I should al

Painted Bricks Make
for Cellar Dampness
One of tht biggest mistakes made
by homo owners who have homes of
brick, or brickwork nrotind their
houses. Is to paint over tills material.
If paint la put on bricks In a home
it may mean dump cellars. The tent-
nerutlir nf H eellui t. antilmit tl.a I
sitnie as outdoors. In the summer It
i Is cooler and In the winter It Is warm
er. Ihe tllnVroiK-e in temperature on
either side of the bricks, added to the
litci nun ine larger part or tlte cellar
wall la beneath the ground, makes for
dampness within the basement.
Except after a heating rainstorm,
the outside of the bricks will not he
dump, because the constant circula
tion of air outside dries them. Inside,
the air la more stagnant. The damp
ness gathers on the bricks, and, us
bricks are porous, soaks Into them.
If the bricks are unpaiitted this
dampness la drawn out of the bricks
on the outside, and evaporates, with a
resulting dry cellar. Polut these
bricks and the lead In tha paint will
fill the pores of the bricks and pre
vent the dampness from escaping from
the bricks to the outside, and thiit
will mean damp walls In the cellar.
It Is far better to leave the bricks
their natural red and to know the
dampness of the cellar has some
means of Mug absorbed Into the out
er air.
City Dweller Finds
Comfort in Suburbs
The grand rush to tlte suburbs
some of them ten miles out Is an Irre
pressible movement to restore "Home
Sweet Home"; the kind with a llluc
bush In the front yard and a place to
hang the wash In the back yard. The
old-fashioned Ideal of home Is not lost
It has been haniered, but as soon as
city obstacles are removed by easy
and rapid transportation to the coun
trythe home Is restored much us It !
always has been.
The heart of man craves little
loneliness, Just a little; and the
suburbs afford it It la not the loneli
ness of the city where there Is no
neighborly hobnobbing ; but one which
may be broken voluntarily. Hoclabllll
and segregation are nicely balanced.
Ton have as much as yon want of
each, and when you desire repose, you
can withdraw beyond your own Jou
quila. In the suburb one feels that the fain
tly rooftret will last It will not be
swept away by apartment hotels or
comer drug stores. It will be there
for the children. It will be there for
Thanksgiving and Christmas and wed
dings, ay, and funerals. fct Louis
