It is a wonder that anyone ever knows anything about the affairs of the .government, especially the financial as- , fairs. If a man f condßctcd hi# business 1 along the same* line* the sheriff won hi ; close him out in a year’s time. Be could never make it. The income tog business is an example. . We happen to know this lease in Con cord. A government agent comes around in 1924 and tells the man he didn’t pay enough taxes in 1922. The man did the best (lie could in filling out the tax re turn so he asks the government'agent to go over the whole thing with 'him. The agent agrees and in checking over the re turn finds that the man owes on one item the government alleged, but he asi discovers the interesting fact that the man paid the government that year too much tax on another item. There was a balance of about $35 or 340 in favor of the individual. The agent goes back, makes his report and the man waits. Pretty soon there comes another notice of the fact that lie owes the government the back tax. He writes back, gives the facts -in the case and waits again. Again the government sends a notice, at the same time ignor ing the man's claim for the excess tax he paid. Things go along that way for several y months and then one day another agent drops in at the man's office and leaves n warrant, charging him with failing to pay the income tax. Os course the man pays and is not arrested, but the ment still owes him for the excess tax. And because he did not pay the tax when first notified the government adds a )>en alty. The agent makes no promise as to when the government will refund the tax, neither does he say anything about the government paying a twnalty for keeping the man’s money all this time. Millions of people send in income tax es and the job of checking them is some thing big. to be sure, hot It does seem that the man who owes the government say |35. and is due say S6O from the government, should not be pestered with notices and threatened witin warrants. There should be some way for him to make the government "pay, and pay a penalty at that. If the income tax business cannot be handled under the present sy stem why not try n new one? Why not put a director in each State with authority to act? At present every question must go to Wash ington for decision and the resuK to a general. m : x up that proves a source of HIS NOSE KNOWS. Scientists tell us now that the boll «ll find te c«WM Mdk ImW economy program until ne reigy began to aegnomiae. Then the yelp went up immediately that he waa hurting business. * It went UP soonest, and still is loudest, in Washington, because erasing names from the govern ment pay roll honestly does ppt a crimp into local trade. Every time a public servant loses hla job, Washington merchants lose a cus tomer. What 1 * more, even those who aitn’t Hired are afraid they’re' going to be, so all, of them are hanging onto every cent they onn. Inasmuch as about half Wash ington’s population consists of fed eral employes, this counts. ' / • • • MOST of the do-jobbed govern ment toilers leave for their respective home towns di rectly after dismissal. They have to get back where they’re ac quainted, to look for work. Gen erally they probably are better off for being driven out into the cold world of private activity which, if more strenuous, also averages bet ter pay than the government’s. Few of them look at it thus, how-, ever. The way they tell It, they’re victims of a perfect hysteria as penny-pinching. They simply were indispensibie In Washington, too. Others might have been spared, but without themselves the govern ment will go smash. That’s the version of those whom presiden tial economy has lopped off. •• • ' THE unfortunates have their friends all over, the land. These friends sympathize with them and howl also. Sounds of wailing reach the White House , from every direction, from near- - by and from afar. “Go easy!" ja the burden of the cry. "Thrift’s a , good thing!” (Meaning when It what particular it is that cotton has that leads the weevil unerringly to at. Once 1 this odor is discovered it Will be used jn t poisonous compounds that will lure the Insect away from the cotton plant and to t his death, ~ The hardest thing about dk-1 covering tile odor’’is that it makes no '.lm pression whatever upon the sensory or- . gans of man’s nose. « , If the scientists are right id their de- • dilutions we can expect the weevil to be destroyed before many years have passed. Experts will keep working on the etlse and they will not give up until the weevil is defeated. : 2 ; THE ENGLISH WAY. The English i>ound got under par dur ing and after the war, but the gold has been restored. This means the English , sehpfe have token the safe and, sure wfy. They have not tried a policy of inflation that has threatened 1 ., They not dare risk issuing millions of dollfffh in paper as did Germany., (fibe franc ahd the mark and not back .to par yet, and there seems little chance for them to get back until the Germans and Frcpch are willing to make the sacrifices the British made. Seer Predicts Death of Varner to Widow. Thomatsviile. April 30.—Rev. W. L. Hutchins, pastor of Main Street Metho dist Church here, is authority for the theory that Mrs. H. B. Varner, of Isl ington,, now widow of the late Col. Var nor. was-recently in Charlotte, and in cidentally had her fortune told. One cf the comments of the performer in the course of the examination was that Mrs. Varner would be a widow before the .first'of Slay this year.

This is on top of huge investments prior to the five-year period. Nor does it include government loans —just private investments. They’re not sate investments, either. Senator v Borah remarks. Why not? Oh, be cause if America ever gets into war with any ot the countries where the money is, they’ll simply turn It over to their alien prop erty custodians and It will It gone for keeps. That’s what we did with German private prop erty here, the senator observes It's a course he thinks others will be glad to imitate if ever they get the chance. * 11 THE Chamber of Commerce oi x the United States dopes it out that a salesman who’s deeply in debt is a better worker, on an average, than one who's debt free.

" 1 " l ■ ■ ■ 'P ")'» I Has Abet* Completed His Arrangemctita Pole ; Norway, April 30.—Captain Roald Amuqffigu. veteran explorer and Norway’s entry in the 1925 race to reach the North Pole by air, has vir tually complete*! his preparations for the airplane flight Irotn Lane's Island, off the northeyeat coast of Spitsbergen, and if all goes we’J hopes to hop off on his iidvcntiiroita journey late in May or early in Jiuie. He expects that the trip may be made wiffiin 24 hours at the most; with an extra 24 flours at the Pole if ice conditions permit a landing there- ' Captain Amttadsen’e flight will be a true race tor the Pole, tor Grettir Al garsson, a young British Columbian, has organised a polar expedition which sails shortly from Liverpool, England, and wi’.l, attempt to beat the Norwegian explorer at his own game- Algarsson plans to use a small, non-rigid airship, similar to the “blimp.” and has openly announced that lie intends to reach his goal before Captain Amundsen if it is humanly possible. Twice before Captain Amundsen, who discovered the South Pole and was first of all .explorers to circumnavigate the globe b.v sailing to the northward of the continents of Europe. Asia and North America, has attempted to fly to the northern tip of the world. His first at tempt, from Wainwright, Alaska, failed when his plane was damaged in a test flight from the base and could not be re paired. The Sttond. which was to have started from Spitsbergen last year, had to be given up because of’ lack of finances. The third attempt, friends of the ex plorer believb, will be made under the most favorable auspices and; barring ac cident, should succeed. A .force of near ly 46 men be stationed at Dane’s I Island to establish a base, tune up the machines, aiid give them the expert at tention they 'require. Sufficient spare parts have been assembled to take enre of any possibility of breakage except the actual smashup of the planes, and the t w<> planes, that will be used in the flight have besn given every, test that ingenuity could devise, passing them all without a flaw being found. Skilled aviators wi'JL pilot them nnd it is prob able, thgt Cwitain Amundsen himself, he has already qualified as an aviator in the Norwegian- army test, will handle the controls ofthe leading machine for a part of the flight at least. The exporer** principal aide in his flight will be Lincoln Ellsworth, a young American aviator who served in the French and American air services during the war. Carl Schulte-Froklinde. chief ofthe Dornier plants in Pisa, Italy, and a noted mechanical expert, will supervise the fitting out of the machines at . “Dane’s Island, nnd H. Voit, a German mechanical engineer, will act as mechanician in Captain Amundsen's plane. Lieutenants Auerde! nnd Dietrichxeu. well-known pilots, also will be members of the expedition. The explorer hopes to fly the ap proximately 000 miles from Dane’s Is land to the Pole, remain there for a day for the purpose, of scientific investiga tion, nnd rfetikrri direct to Panoß Is land- ProvisibßS tor six weeks will be carried in the panes, which will be flit ted with skits tor landing on the froSrii icefields ofthe Arctic, and guns and ammunition will be carried so that in case of accident the lives of the mem bers of the. payt| may be sustained by shooting gartiej whfch' jq. xai& to oxwt even in the Cy|Vptne north. , The plane* \|iti an action radius of about 1,506< miles, 180 miVx more than the round Irip distance from Dntjels Island to the Pole, and will be equipped with the latest ■ devices for aerial navigation, including radio. Eaeh plane is powerful enough to care for all members of the party should its com panion break down, and in case of serious mishap to both machine; the ex plorer thinks it will be possible, with luck, to reach civilization again by ski travel. While Captain Amundsen's bore is primarily to reach’ the Pole, the objects of the expedition are scientific, and he expects to settle, once nnd for all. the moot point that has intrigued Arctic ex plorers for generations, whether or not there is land near the top of the world. It was in Seattle, after the failure of his flint aerial attempt, that Captaiu Amundsen said to an Associated Press correspondent: ■»»'' " *'"*l PI ffggpgg treftn The ffaw Way To Serve Ice Cream He Seal right Way of serving ice cream in attractive, appetiz ; ing round slices has become ! immensely popular in the modern, up-to-date home.
