Civil War and had died bravely on the definite and tangible come? from guch

Held of action. Mr Slmpkln* throil ached now for >wo reasons- First, be reverenced and adored the memory of bl* father: secondly, his age and his eye* and his game leg wouldn't let him go to war himself. And as he observed the martial bearing and uncoin|,rorat»Ing gare of Colonel Rlmpkln* he saw. In Imagination, the khakl-clad lads of the new generation marching forth and crossing three thousand mile* of sea to

fight, maybe die. for liberty.

Mr Simpkins peered around to make aura that neither Bess nor John (who were at the teasing age* of sir.ee* and seventeen) were where they could aee him. then he straightened acd threw his right arm up for a salute. But his gouty shoulder twinged, and be

groaned He couldn't even salute.

“Damn!" said Mr. Slmpklnv snd with bis other hand fiercely twirled his

white mmtarhlos.

He turned and limped Into the IP brary and sat dow n creaklly before the mnhogituy desk on which were lying the blanks for hi* Income tax statement. blanks which he had rather grumpily got from the Internal Revenue officer inly that day after lunchon his way home from the club. Ir. Simpkins' Income for 1917 bad amounted to Just about $15,000. and he rather snappy on the subject of taxes ever since be had discovered that the more Income a man has the greater the percentage of I: be pay* In taxes. He could think of **vera I n.en who. like himself, were married and had two children. a.id yet although their Income* were marly half of hla, they would pay only a *ma;i fraction of the amount be paid. He gloomily drew the Mack niarcr and began filling In the information

that It asked for.

A* Mr. Simpkins' Income wwa SIVOOO be had to figure out the amounts i«yahle on each of the successive smaller Classes of Incomes In order to arrive the total doe from himself. He passed over the first cl*** who must pay taxes, that I*, single men making over 1.0D0. His calculation for married men then showed up as follow?: First, they pay ~ per cent fonder the liMC law) on all Income over $4,000. deducting $300 for each of ihelr children under eighteen rearm. In Mr. Simpkins' case this was $312. whirl ha put down In the “payable" column. He saw next that, under tba 1917 law. married men pay an additional 2 all over $2.000—wltb -ho ,nce for children. Thla added $252 to his “payable" <olumt He then observed that for e- ,-ry $2,300 Jump In his Income over $5‘O0 he had to pay a Snrtax. the iiereefiti-ge growing larger with each Jump Thla wa* $250 more added to hla bnithn. And on top of all thla came an “ExFroflls" tax of 8 per cent on all “occupation” Income over $6,000. mak-

ing $720 more.

The total, then, he must pay waa fourteen hundred and thlrt>-four dollars “Whew!" exclaimed Mr. Simpkins angrily. “There's young Henry Wilkins. who married Jake Johnson's girt, he makes $2,000 and he doesn’t pay a cent of taxes I gueas thla la hla «ar

as well as mine!"

Thinking of young Henry Wilkins, he rem»mt>ered that Mrs Wllklna went every afternoon to make bandage* for the Red fruaa and that Henry, «ho waa a lawyer, wca siding th* Local Draft Board with Its qui-stlonsalrv ■ “Well," he admitted to blm*eif.

"t*>at make* a difference."

He thought next of Judge Wlllo ,gbbj. whose Income was about $S.b“He only pay* g2u." commented Mr. B'luiAIn*. not quite ao angrily this time: end then a thought struck i-lm and he aat up rigidly in his chair Judge Willoughby's aon had i^eo diosned on the 'J us‘an la when It •*■ t.d'uurlned wltb thr loss of two bun-

| dred soldier*.

“Judge Willoughby gave his » A men,a." muttered Mr Mmpklni lie leaned forward suddenly an<! put

Inc the extent of planting

In traveling oygr the County I find the farmer* are Intending to plcnt Just as much as they are physically able with the help that they have at their command. Il Is only natural, however for thorn to aaanme that the preaent amount of labor at planting time will be the basis for figuring amounts of

laber at harvesting Ume. unh

Government la able to announce some

atber practical plan soon.

The employment offices In Philadelphia and Newark are doing every bit In ihelr power to supply experienced farm hands and good material from unexperienced farm hands. In many *es the farmers were disappointed the results of last year In regard to employment agency men. and consequently much confidence haa been lost among the farmers. The employment bureaus are trying to correct that condition for this year. Attempts are being made to have a few practical men weed out the good men who preaent themselves among the bad at the employment office*. Last year no such attempt was made. It Is hoped that thl* year’s scheme will *01 k better. At this time of year especially, there Is a limited number of experienced farm hands listed at the labor offices. If the farmers of Cape May County

their way clear to hire such

men now. they had better do IL for only the Inexperienced ■rill be left for later The better way to accomplish this I? to notify the employment office few days hi advance of a persona!

Tialt

In order to facilitate matters, the fflrr- of Farm Demonstration will gladly mall blanks to any farmer requestinr labor, and telephone, or even a representative to the employbureau ta try to pick ou: good •hould enough requests come In.
