The in tangible tax law levied a tax of 25 per cent of the full tax rate. The federal law, however, said at that time that a state could not tax na tional banks any more than it did other moneyed capital, and as this made invalid the tax against nation als, it created a discriminatory con dition that relieved the state banks of other than a 25 per cent of its full stock valua. Since, then congress has passed a law that cures this situa tion, but this does not help the state out for 1922, althoxtbe senate has passed a bill seeking to validate 1922 taxes against both classes of banks. The court also refused the applica tion of the county attorney of Lan caster for a rehearing of the Perry Anthony case. The court had previ ously held that the indictment under which Anthony, a stock salesman, had been convicted, was defective in that it did not allege a substantive part of the crime charged. The coun ty attorney argued that the indict ment met the court's criticism, but the court declines to concede this. A rehearing was also denied in the case of O'Hara against the Union Pa ficic railroad, where an eighteen-year-old lad, who lost his eyesight by the explosion of a fulminating cap he picked up in a coal car he was helping unload, recovered a judg ment for $37,500. TL'is means the company must pay. A similar ruling was made in the State ex rel Clarke against the Ger ing irrigation district, where the lat ter is held to be responsible for the repair of laterals taken in by it. , HOUSEWIVES CLEVER AT BEATING DRY ACT Madison, Wis., March 30. House wives of the Watertown. Wis., com munity have become skillful in cir cumventing the Volstead act, accord ing to Dr. A. H. Hard wig, of that town, in urging the state affairs committee to recommend the Peter son joint resolution, which would petition congress ' for more liberal prohibition legislation. He declared that nearly . every housewife in Watertown- was profi cient . in making beverages which would not conform to the Volstead act; that gathering of dandelions and grapes for wine making was a pastime in that community, and that whiskey and drunkenness there was more common than in ante-prohibition days.

MYou will always find that there are about twelve days in April which are far from being nice, and they are the days April borrows of March, j 'That Is an old. old, old saying, and ! a very true one. J "Well, when I heard that I did have to congratulate myself on my luck,". April continued. ! "I should say yon are lucky," agreed Blilie Brownie. "Such luck I never heard of before or since." j "And," said April, "it makes it so very fjonveaient and nice, for If I feel cross and if I lose my temper and act badly, no one blames me, but only 1 March gets the blame. "Of course, I don't like to see March get the blame for everything, and yet: I do have to smile at my luck, my amazing luck." And then April sang this song while Billie Brownie joined in the chorus af ter April recited the chorus to him, so he'd be able to sing all the words. This was the song April sang: "April is a moatb ol spring. April with Jt pleasures bring. AprU gets just lots of praise On every on of April's fiood days." , Then Billie Brownie joined in the chorus which went like this: "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho. April seldom has enow, Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho. Often wjtb. warmth April will glow. Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho. In April flowers start in to. grow., ; April s the luck month.

April's not blamed for being that way." And then once more April repeated the chorus while BUlie Brownie joined in. BEST LAID PLANS SOMETIMES FAIL Mothers' Handpicked Eligibles Don't Always Impress Marriageable Daughters Favorably. "White Shoulders," the First Na tional attraction starring Katherine' MacDonald, the "American beauty of j the Screen," and one of the most highly praised productions of the! year, will be the Easter Sunday af , traction at the Parmele with special matinee showing at 3 p. m. This photoplay, blessed with a particularly intriguing title, is a. screen version of George Kibbe Turn- ! er's unusual story of a mother's de-j votion and determination that herj beautiful daughter shall not have tO suffer the privations that she, her-1 self, has had to experience in her( married life, for the lack of money.! To this end, she rears the girl with ' a single object that she shall wed' only a rich man. Of course, like tbel proverbial well laid plans of mice and men, this maternal scheme is. knocked awry when the daughter falls in love with the young fellow of her own selection. There is a wealth of Etrong drama in "White Shoulders," the result of Miss MacDonald's screen brother's defense of. her good name, Willi consequent troubles with the law. The story is an eloquent preach ment against the indiscriminate use of the credit system, but at the same time, is ao replete with genu ine drama that the lesson it carries, merely prorides the cause for the plot effect. Tom Porman not only directed "White Shoulders," but also played one of the chief roles that of Miss MacDonald's screen brother. Others of the notably large and splendidly balanced cast are Bryant Washburn, Nigel Barrie, Lillian Lawrence, Lin coln Stedman, Fred Malatesta, Chas. French, James Barrows and little Richard Headrick, who created such a furore among motion picture tans by his wonderful acting in "The Child Thou Gavest Me." GOVERNMENT WARS ON STOCK SELLERS All powers to be "Used in Nationwide Campaign Against Fake Stock Promoters Warns People Washington, March 30.
