LAST YF.AK'S TAXES

One of Ihe most remarkable results
of the recent price slump Is the de
mand made by New York nnd I'.os-1
ton merchants that they be allowed i
to make deductions from the Income 1
and excess profits taxes payable In!
December because of the shrinkage
of valins In their stock. They want j
congress to legalize hii.1i procedure.
The tixes in question urn due on
the profits earned last year. The
question H naturally nsked. what
this years' prices have to do with
last year's income. Critics further re-
mind the merchants that Hie taxes

ago that the extension of time utitll

Shep the Hero
My mother my aunt two cousins
one my age and the other a little
baby two years old and I hurried
up the road about a half mile to
meet my uncle and my father who
were returning from town with a
large number of cattle they had pur-
chased. We were driving the cattle thru
the barnyard gate when one old
white steer broke loose and started
rampaging up the road to where my
little baby cousin was playing. I saw
the old steer running but I was
pretty far away and it looked very
much as tho baby would be trampled
to death under the sharp hoofs of
the mad animal if she wasn't jerked
from his path.
Just then as if from nowhere a
big shepherd dog jumped from the
side of the road and dashing in
front of the snorting steer caught
the belt of the baby's dress in his
teeth and dragged her from danger
undoubtedly saving her life.
My uncle shot and killed the steer
but we still have that dandy old
shepherd dog and he is the pride of
the family. F Dwight Rockford

Sam O'Heam had returned to

"And i'ni not going to do it."
Sam's lips compressed in a straight
line. His jaw tightened.
He hurried to his locker. Tak-
ing from it his big brown dressing
gown he threw it over his shoul-

dashed up the circular stairway
and onto the balcony of the gym-

quick eye hunted out Pinky Pin-

way quickly through the crowd to
where they were.

With all bonesty and candor CK-.i
Smith bdmi'ts that shj violated that
fundamental instinct In woman. When
a woman ndmits her tuilt usua.i
she is willing to tai the cory
quenccs. She does no: comtnll the
greater sin of being tho white sepul
chre Sho isnot the hypocrite who
cloaks her sin with the church with
philanthropic activities with the smirk
ing pose of virtue which in the ryes
of Cod I believe is far more
hensible than ttho ln. itself.
If Clara SmJ.h's story of how she
burned her fingers how she "tested
the fire" will servo as a warning to
young girls then good will have come
out of evil as so often happens in
this world.
There Is ono particular type of girl
who should be helped by the words
of Clara Smith. She Is the girl who
deliberately iplays the temptress who
delights in uticklng her tinkers Just
as close to the fire as she can w-Jhout
burning herself. That 8he harms the
man means nothing to her. Love is
Just one exciting thrilling game to
her.
"I never intend to marry nnd I am
determined never to fall in lovu" said
charming young girl cf good funu
ily; it girl who has a. good mother
and who has been reared earofulk-.
While I never have fallen in love
myself" Khe said "I delight in using
my power over men nnd irj tempt-
ing iTheni just us far as I dare. It. is
so intercs.ing to watch a man nnd
see Just. how far one dares go wf.h

me to do this. nnU it would hrmk
mother's heart it she knew it for
sho has old-fashioned notions uncut
girls in Ittttlng men make love to

It used to be that every normal girl
wanted to marry thut she considered
marriage tho one end of her life.
Sho wanted a husband a homo and
children For years sho dreamed of
that happy consuiuat.'on . That con-
dition no longer exhl.s. Countless girls
do not- want to marry though nil
of them want to have lovo affairs.
And a few of them I wouM not like
to say more than a few look upon
love as a game. They like tho ex-
citement (if making men fall In love
with them. Their vanity craves the
attentions that men will pay them
meaningless attentions bo far as they
are concerned. ' They like to be seen
at dinner at the thc-vtre or motor-
ing as the case mriy -be and Jhoy
enjoy the sheer pleasure of ft which
is the most natural thing in the
world. All women adore attentions
as Indeed they should. Where these
girls do wrong Is that they take
everything a man has to give them
while r.hey intend !to givo nothing in

lniti.il step In courtship hunting out

Is not very long -until marriage ceases
to be thrilling enough for her.: Being
a faJuhful wife and mother ia dreadful
prosy. The old craving for flirtation
and love's perils reasserts itself.
Quietly surreptitiously she seeks a
romantic adventure. Then one ot two
things happens. There is trouble
between the husband and wife; a sep-
aration or by common consent tho
husband lives his life and has his
affairs and the wife does likewise.
Love degradation is the mos't de-
structive thing in the) world. It cor-
rupts oclety. It destroys empires
and republics. It turns backward the
wiiecls of progress and lays whole
nations in the dust.
