The report that ’’Red’’ Whitting

Pete Castalng, who purchased a

Slater made a running stab of
Eckert’s long drive in the second

the fans forgave his error on Toups'

fans are loyal and /air — most of
them—and do not expect the boys
to do the impossible. Errors are
made every day in the big leagues
and one cannot expect our boys to
play much better than the average
American or National Leaguer. And
for every error made, comes a star
play that will redeem it.

| GAIN OF BULL ASSOCIATIONS
Increase Attributed to Fact That
Farmers Are Beginning to Realize
Value of Quality.
( (Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
A gnln of 35 'co-operative bull asso
ciations during the past fiscal year In
dicates tlint dairy farmers are begin
ning to appreciate the value of such
organizations. According to the dairy
division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture there were 158 of
such associations, as compared with
123 a year ago. This Is an Increase of
28 per cent, a very satisfactory gnln In
view of the comparative newness of
the plan.
This increase Is , attributed by the
department to the fact that farmers
are beginning to become acquainted
with the benefits which other farmers
have derived from this form of co
operative breeding. Both federal and
State workers -have found that mem
Use of Purebred Sires as Improvers
of Productive Capacity of Cows Is
Rapidly Gaining Favor.
bers are being benefited by such co
operative associations even more than
the organizers had anticipated.
Some form of co-operative breeding
is essential to the proper growth of
the dairy industry in many sections of
the country, for the reason that the
average herd at present is so small
that the owner cannot afford to buy a
good purebred bull, and It Is certain
that the herds of the future will not
be large enough to change this condi
tion materially. The movement to get
more peojjle living on farms and In vil
lages to keep family cows tends to
diminish the average size of the herd,
for the one or two cows kept by each
family are really a herd in themselves,
but owners of small herds cnnfcot af
ford to keep a bull. They, therefore,
depend upon neighboring bulls, and
the co-operative association Is one
means of providing for such cows the
service of high-class bulls.
The dairy extension men In South
Carolina, for example, realizing the
importance of the co-operative bull
association, have made it a part of
their campaign for “t\jo cows to each
rural family,” and they have Set as a
goal the organization in their state of
114 co-operative bull associations.
BEST PACKAGES FOR CHEESE
Boxes Are Subjected to Rough Treat
ment in Handling and Should
Be Good and Strong.
Certain characteristics of American
cheese, most valuable for export pur
poses, in addition to good flavor, in
clude firm, close-bodied texture, clean
and sound rind, and strong, well-made
packages. The favored export style
Is the large so-called “Cheddar,”
weighing from 60 to 80 pounds, al
though of later years a good many
“twins” have been exported. “Twins”
Weigh about 35 pounds each, and are
packed two in a box.
The matter of thq package is very
Important, as the boxes are subjected
to rough handling in loading and un
loading. The most satisfactory boxes
are sufficiently large for the entire
cheese, for with a cheese higher than
the box, the pressure of other boxes
piled on top destroys the shape of
the cheese and injures the rind.
It is common in the United States
to paraffin most of the cheese market
ed a week or ten days after the cheese
is made, which permits free moisture
to escape and allows for the usual
shrinkage. During the spring, sum
mer, and autumn, the use of refriger
ator cars, where a temperature of 35
degrees to 40 degrees F. may be main
tained, is Important in shipping, it
has been found as a result of experi
ments conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Feed Balanced Ration.
It is extremely difficult to feed a
ration which will cause a starved cow_
to Increase her milk flow. The safest
rule is to feed a balanced ration from
the beginning, and to provide adequate
feed to(meet her requirements.
Satisfactory Flow of Milk. •
Where no effort is made to give cows
good care, it is difficult to make them
pay their way. They may give a satis

THE BURDEN OF TAXES
Before the war the government ol
the United States spent about one bil
lion dollars a year for all purposes,
Including interest on the public debt
In the fiscal year ending June 80,1020,
the first full fiscal year after fighting
stopped, the government spent In
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year 1021,
that Is, up to June 80, 1921, It spent
$5,115,927,689.30, arfd In the fiscal year
of 1922, which will end on June 30,
1922, it will spend more than four bil
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon ol
the Treasury Department,
These figures Include interest on the
public debt which amounts to about
one billion dollars, but Include noth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re
demption. Including both interest and
| BlUUUlg 1UUU, UiU KUTClUUiCUl Will
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1022 as It spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are a part of the price of vic
tory. Tour whole present problem Is
to curtail them. It concerns you to
know Just how these Immense sums
were gathered and how much you paid
and are paying toward them, tor of
course we, the tax payers, the men and
women with Jobs, the men and women
who have what the census calls gain
ful occupations, paid every cent of It
It was our money until the govern
ment took It 1
Let us examine the fiscal year 1020.
I have not the detailed account for
1021, but It was slightly less than the
year previous, as the year ending June
80, 1022, will be a slightly less burden
on us than the year preceding. Ac
cording to a careful analysis made by
the late Dr. B. B. Rosa, of the United
States bureau of standards, a govern
ment scientist who was deeply and In
telligently Interested In the subject,
every man, woman and child in this
country, contributes an average of
fifty-three dollars in taxes to the sup
port of the national government. Ac
tually It Is nearer fifty-four than fifty
three dollars, but I am taking the
smaller sum for the sake of the round
number. That is, the average family
of five persons pays $265 a year out
of Its earnings to the federal govern
ment alone, In addition to what Is
pnld for state, county and city taxes.
The estimated average yearly Income
of a family of five is something more
than $700. But before any of that $700
Is spent $265 must be turned over to
the general government to run the
business of the United States.
The actual amount that each one of
us paid was $53XT7. We paid It through
the medium of internal revenue taxes
and customs duties on Imported ar
ticles divided ns follows •
i Per
Capita
Income and excess profit.$37.20
Cigars and tobaeco. 2.77
Transportation and other utili
ties . 2.72
Autos, candy, furs, Jewelry, etc. 2.52
Beverages. 1.86
Special taxes on capital stock,
etc.99
Estate Inheritance .97
Stamps on legal papers, etc.70
Admissions to amusements, etc. .77
Insurance and miscellaneous... .23
Total . $53.77
The taxpayer Is next of kin to the
treasury. At any rate he Is the first
person notified when the treasury
needs money, and he always has to dig
down Into his Jeans for whatever Is
needed. Taxpaying, even more than
charity, begins at home. The boy’s
best friend is his mother, but the tax
payer’s only friend Is himself. The
only thing that can be done for him Is
to disclose as vividly ns possible how
much his government is costing and
let him decide what he will do about
It. It all comes down to this: The
more money the government spends
through defective organization or ex
travagance, the less you have to spend
or save.
So much for the cost of the national
business we support We are all mi
nority stockholders. The concern has
no other source of revenue than our
contributions. It doesn't make any
money. In times like these, when al
most everybody feels that he gets too
little for what he sells and has to pay
too much for'what he buys, It geems
to me the least we can do Is to take
an active and Intelligent Interest in
this great common enterprise of ours
and. make sure that it is well organ
ized; that It doesn’t waste or spend
extravagantly; that the employees are
paid an adequate wage nnd have
proper working conditions; that their
morale la kept high and their enthu
Biasm in our interest unaoaiea; in nne,
that as a business It shall be conduct
ed as efficiently and economically and
on as modern scientific principles as
any large private business.

Iron Duke Was Good Musician.
Most of you have heard of the Iron
Duke, the duke of Wellington, who
vas one of the great commanders of
England, winning glorious victories
or her. But none of you, perhaps,
enow that this Irou Duke, notwith
standing that he was a famous war
dor, was also something of a must
dan. At one time, observes a writer
in the Brooklyn Eagle, he directed a
concert in England, after he had be
come famous as a commander. Not
svery soldier could do that, and turn
so easily frota one kind of work to
mother.
Noble Attribute.
Never does the human soul appeal
