AUTOMOBILE TAXES PAY FEDERAL AID Accordng to statistics compiled and sent out by the state road commission of West Virginia, the total federal aid bill of the United States is paid by automobile taxes, with a comfort able balance left over. Since 1917,.the federal government has collected from the automobile in dustry, in taxes, the sum of $589,- 012,021. In the same period the to tal of federal aid for road building has been $264,782,216, or only 45 per cent of the special motor vehicle and accessory taxes. For the last fiscal year the government collected $146,000,000 in these special taxes, and paid out for federal aid to the stales only $72,000,000. Thus, the special motor vehicle and accessory tax has only paid all of the federal aid on road building, but has left a balance in the treasury of more than the amount paid out.

Famous Dancing Pair In troduce the Proposal Fox Trot If you can’t speak it, dance it! That’s the latest trick for lovelorn but bashful youths —or maidens, either, since pro posals work two ways these days. Maurice and Hughes, stars that twinkle every night at New York's famous Palais Royal, have worked out the new method. It is a fox trot called “Love Tales,” janced to the song of that name, aad it tells a perfect love story, Diopnsa! and all.

Uvmcnflh, Ge<*r*t» IMPROVE THE GROUNDS WITH CANNAS The appearance of the home grounds may be very greatly im proved by plar'tin ; beds of cannas to the side or rear of the house and rows cf them ne: t to the foundation on the sides or in front where no 1 rubbery is growing. These cannot entirely take the place r.f shrubbery. Those who are so unfortunate as not to have shrubbery growing next tot the foundation, can very greatly profit by the planting of cannas. A row planted next to the found ation, putting them 18 to 24 inches away from the wall and the same distance apart in the rows with another row of coleus about 18 to 24 inches in front of the cannas, and then a row of salvia 12 to 18 inches in front of the coleus pro duces oa very beautiful effect. It is true that this v, ill last only for the summer, but it is far better than to leave the space hart'. • Set the coleus plants. 18 to 24 inches apart, planting them directly in fron of the cannas, and alternat ing so as to come in between the canna plants. Then set the salvia plants in front of the coleus, letting them alternate with the coleus, which will throw them directly opr posite the canna plants. t Car.nas grow a little taller than coleus and coleus some taller than salvia, thus giving that gradual slop ing eyyect, which is desirable in plantings of this kind. Such . a planting will, add to the beauty of the home grounds. A bed in shape of a circle, with the cannas planted in rows around the inside of the circle make a most beautiful appearance. Pick out a place at the side or to the rear of the house where a few of these beds will fit in and throughly prepare the ground for setting the plants early in the spring. Usually, a good place to locate them is to one side of the house are to the rear, immediately in front of a clump of shrubbery or some trees. If the garden is fenced in close to the house, then a row of cannas along with the coleus and sal via right up against the garden, and at the same time greatly improved the appearance of the place. Bu putting the rows back next tb the garden fence and beds in each cor ner just in front of the rows and possibly one in the center, a ve*-y de sirable effect may be obtained. The canna is a gross feeder and to succeed best, must be highly fertilized. Therefore, in preparing forthem, spade up the soil 12 to 18 inches deep with a spading fork. Work it over and over until all rocks novelty and intellectual impetus to America’s favorite indoo' sport,” he declares. Here are the original steps 0- the “Love Tales” fox trot: Take regular dancing positions First movement Gentleman moving forward, lady backward, take four light, quick steps with heels off the floor. Second movement Pivot, til ternating steps. Third movement—Four light, quick steps similar to first move ment. Fourth movement—Four glid* ing steps to the right and then to the left, during which the heel? are on the floor. Fifth movement Dip twice and then break into the original tep for repetition o* the enttr* . tics. lumps, etc., are removed and a fine seed bed Is obtined. The scatter on top of the ground, a thick coating of well rotted stable manure and fork it over so as to throughly in corporate it with ihe soil. Rake over again and it is ready for plant ing. Preparing and Planting the Beds When planting in a circular bed, drive a stake in the exact center of the bed aftdr the soil has been pre pared and fertilized and tie a string to this stake. Tie the other end of to a small stick and out line the outside row by putting the end of the stick on the ground and going around the bed, marking out the row. Then wrap the string around the stick until the desired distance of a‘foot and a half to two feet between the rows is obtained and mark out the second*row. Con tinue in this way until the center is reached and all of the rows are laid out. In making the bed, throw the soil to the center, so as to muke it a few inches higher there than on the sides. This is desirable in or der to provide drainage. not desirable to make these bedsUoo Rirgo. Better have several nieditifit 1 sized ones tha*n ‘one or two very large ones. Home coming day at MT.

PEDIGREED SALSBURY Cotton Planting Seed For Heavy Production and Early Maturity A NEW VARIETY SALSBURY IS DISTINCT SALSBURY is a distinct variety—the result of eight year’s plant breeding by Professor J, W. Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, the experts of the Delta and Pine Land Co. at Scott Miss. Commencing with an extra-early heavy-fruiting strain of Wannamaker-Cleveland, tljese men have worked untiringly year after year selecting and cross-breading, keeping the best and eliminating the underesirable, until they produced SALSBURY, which we believe to be a per feet cotton. It has all the disirable qualities of an early big-boll short cotton: still, is worth a good premium in any market. FOR FUTHER PARTICULARS WRITE OR SEE W. L.
