In a disaster compara ble to the loss of the PN-9 No. 1. Is described ss follows In a communica tion to ths National Geographic so ciety. Submerged . by . wave after wave of history and conquest, home of a race full of passion but free from law crime, the scented Isle south of the Cote d'Azur offers a distinctive reward to those who leave the rush and dts play of the continent to visit vendetta land. “Corsica, like every other country, Is a land of contrasts. But more than most, It la the land of paradox. Be hind the striking beauty of the Island, concealed beneath the commonplace exteriors of the people, there is a mys tery, a contrary quality which first es capes observation and later intrudes everywhere. Probably nowhere Is a generalization more likely to be true and false at the seme ttme. “One goes to Corsica, as did Bos well's frlsnd, expecting to find every bandit a menace. He remains to find ths man with the gun the most unro mantic of mortals. Melodrama heroes have accomplished more with the glit ter of a silver spoon held revolver wise than the most Tartarlnesque of Corsicans attempt when loaded to the belt. Yet personal encounter between natives It still a commonplace. “Corsica, where women go safely alone by si#t and gendarmes travel In pairs by day, where there are hun drads of bridges and no rivers, where everyone expects the visitor to pay verbal tribute to 'KalUste' (Most Beau tiful) and few can name the moun tains in whose shadow they were born I “Banditry is still a byword and thievery Is abhorred. The Innkeepers boast of wbat grand things they Mould do If there were more tourists, and neglect the few they have. The sun gives the l*nd Its charm; and the snow. Its beauty and health, The roads are blocked by horses, mules and donkeys, few of them laden, and the jntomobUe, even for ,the single traveler, offers the cheapest means of transportation. The perfume of the maquls and the smells of the streets are alike Indescribable." Oldest Republic in World Without Taxes Paris.—One country which Is not worried by the tax question Is An dorra, the oldest and smallest republic in the wprld. It lies deep In the heart pf the Pyrenees between the French and Spanish claims of that range. Besides knowing no taxes It knows nothing about bathtubs, automobiles, radios, jazz bands, “complexes ’ and wars. It maintain* an “army” of only six soldiers, one for each village, "In case of aggression.” Tbe ledgers of the French ministry of finance each year charge Andorra MOT (about $50) as a levy originally l{|i<l by Louis le Dehonnalre. Each ygar before the mule trails close for the winter, the French collector goes on his annual visit to Andorra to de utand 960 franca The councillors deliberate seriously as to whether they shall make the contribution, and then, with staged re luetance, hand over a heavy and worn goatskin sack. The collector writes out a receipt and bands back the sack. Legend has it that the sack doss contain 960 francs—in lead coins snd plugged francs, all worthless money which has found its way from France into the realms of the tiny republic All of which may explain France’s rc luetance to accept that mysteriou* goatskin hag. Michigan Breeds Herd of Pur.

UL'U V./ X V W V-A Ac* Lcssms Flow of Mkk, Now that the pasture season has come to a close, the dairyman's mind Is turned toward the feeding of his cows this winter. With high-priced grains am) a short age of hay in many sections, the firs! impulse is to rough them through well as possible without feeding what the owner knows they really niigh' to have. This practice never pays with good cows, and if the cows are poor ones, then it does not pay to feed them anything. The place for the poor ones is the butcher and the soou er they go there, the less expense they .yin |, P t0 their owners, As evidence qf the fuct that stinted fading to good cows does not pay, a case is cited in one cow-testing asso elation whore the herd having the lowest feed cost of all the herds in the association, $33.41, produced the lowest average milk production, 3,020 pounds, the lowest average butterfat production, 183 pounds, and the lowest return above feed cost per cow, $16.38 per year. In the same cow-testing as sociatlon the herd having the highest cost of feed per cow, $60.40, yielded the highest average production of milk,' 7,202 ppunds, the highest qv ergjfp production of butterfat, 359 PQunds, and the highest return above feed cost per cow, $105, of all the hards in the association.

MACON TEDBQKAPH BUREAU, The Kimball House. ATLANTA, Nov. 18.—It looks like the cigar and cigarette stamp tax lav/, as a revenue measure for a specific purpose, has made good. State Commissioner of Revenue John M. Vandiver today deposited in the State treasury, Immediately subject to warrant 5400 for distribution tq the pensioners, , 000, which the will pay between to eaph of the and pen- the sioner* on list now end of this month—possibly by Thanks giving Day—$40 each to apply on the unpaid though, pensions doesn't claims. the That, represent rev enue this year from the use of these rev enue Stamps and, as figures operation go, docs not do credit to the result of of this law. The total amount from the gale of stamps by the revenue department, from Jan. 1, 1926. to Nov. 1, 1925, Is $074,766.18 and, could ail that amount of money have been distributed, the pensioners would have gotten $50 at this time, of one-haif as much as is provided for In the Legislative general appropriations bill for eaob pensioner. It is interesting to note that, while so much contention and difference ot oplhr the ion la going on sboijt so-called arranging for bill.” legalization pf th# unpaid "scrip through which 1922, the 1924 promised pen sions for 1928 and may be paid —to say nothing of the accumulation this year—there is more than a quarter of a million dollars of the money which our courts have held is due the State of Geor gia, and which the State is due the pen sioners, held up and doing nobody any good—a part of the revenue from these Btam P This year, for 10 month*, more than S49,ooo of this fund ls tied up, and for the entire time the, law has been In effect a total of $127,285.05 has been bagged, and the string of the court's teeh nicality Is tied around the neck of that bag. All that money belongs to Stats, the Con federate pensioners of the and they can t get it. Ths States can’t turn it loose.

From the sale of these stamps 10 months of this year the total was $674,- 766, but of the cash saleB. on purchases made by litigants who sought to outlaw the law, $4,699.69 is being held under the technical order of the court, and for the two years the total caah held in es crow amounts to a little more than $8,- 600. Then, there is more of it. Under the order of the court a number of the litigants were allowed to obtain the etamps without payment by posting a bond that they would pay upon final ad judication of their injunction case. Under the bonds $44,229 88 of the stamps have been used this year, and for the two years a total of $118,786.05-—or rather, for all qf last year and 10 r-.onths of tills yea It was estimated early in the year that the stamp tax fund this year would run, for 10 months the full year, $750,000 The total for being $674,756, and the two heavy months—Including the holiday 1925 gift season—yet to be included In the revenue, It looks that the estimate was not All too large. by law of this money now goes to the payment of pensions, and by specifi cation, to those pensions which have ac cumulated and remained unpaid. It is estimated, roundly, from the Pension Commissioner's office that the accumu lation for 1922, 1928 and 1924—covered by the $2,500,0001 scrip bill, will amount to probably The payment of $25 in 1924 sfons, aI hut* t‘hV« –°Mmed°1S; 1625 Is not. Therefore, if the whole of ths avaiiabis monsy could have been D h‘i4%4°ar^rt n o’ , ?h n % r %. ,r ^e t he S ta tZ1 t a d th e to be coileoted for 1926, which 1926 will be at least $760,000, by the end of (ex elusive $1,277,000 of the $25 payment been paid last year) would have on the old pensions for the three years, or more *han half the entire amount. The Legislature of 1920 provided for an automatic increase of $25 a year until, In 1924, the full pension $200 payment should be, as the law reads, a year, and that It stand at $200 a year at all times there after. The Legislature now appropriates $1,800,000 with which to pay each pen sloner $100 a year; therefore, even if the whole pension matter is cleared up, by ths S^xt^Ji^VW'juWng^a stands, the and Issuing the scrip as it next appropriation for pensions would have to be increased $1,300,000 more than the present appropriation—and that would apply for 1926 and 1927, and in fact would leave that much hang-over from 1926 (ex clusive of whatever amount comes from the stamp tax). Therefore, no matter what an extra session might do about providing pay off the alleged BCrip—that aeeumula- pro vision covers only the 1924—there still tion for 1922, 1923 and Is the continued accumulation for 1926 and each year thereafter.
