THE INVISIBLE COLLECTOR The old adage gl< omlly opines that 'nothing is certain except death and taxes." Many persons have questioned the second ''yertainty, pretending that they pay no taxes because they own no property and pay -no indonte tax^? - ' Actually, though, about the .only Individuals who have escaped that second 'certainty" are those who have run afoul of the first?death. And It seem strange indeed that. In the face of all facts to the contrary, any American Is able to deceive himself into thinking he uvoids taxes, for - everywhere the individual i tlnn goes. an invisible tax colloor la fl? nlrvRA on hfa. h<>o1?t fla htfl own standow. In fact. out of every dollar gathered in by government, al . most 60 cents Is n the form of bidden taxes, mainly paid by people with small incomes. Mr. Average Citizen pays the men ; ey out a few cents at a time, as an a-.ded charge on virtually everything he buys, seldom realizing how rapidly the totals mount up irto del lars a.nd keeps him front buying more of the' good thines of lVo that he would, like to. Since taxes, are mostly tnv'rlble to <'ay, it Is hard to make them a bom5 ing' issue In public affairs. Put with their burden constantly mountng. the average Amerlcnn is beg rising to reach the stage where he wishes devoutly that not only would the col lector bectme a little more INVISIBLE. but some cf the taxes themselves woul l also do the . vanishing act. ' WORK THAT 18 WORTH DOING .. General Pershing, America's beloved soldier, has a bit of philosophy which he says has carried him over the very roughest spots of life and enabled him to get pleasure and satb faction out of things which on their face held no satisfaction. That philosophy Is this: To have something that is worth doing and doing it with all my heart and soul." , It Is nelessary that men have work to do that la worth the doing, and .be of Itself pleasant to do. and do It with all your mill. In that lies peace and satisfaction, the contentment and self appraisal, that lead to a better ordered existence, not only of the Individual hut for society. Turn theft claim around as you will think of It as lone as yen can. and yon cannot find thae it la an exorbt ale claim. Yet f mankind would admit it. the face of the world would change Pix>on'ent, -Strife, dishonesty avarice. > and seeking advantage would end To feel itnt we pre d'dne work useful to others and pleasant to our selves and that such work and its doc want could not fall us, what harm could happen to ns than? And what benefit. happiness and . onfldence wou'd come to us? This having something to do worth -doing and doise It with nil the energy of heart and scul does more than keep merely bring personal satisfaction, u* on an" even .'keel.. pace than It enlarges our perspective and w'rtens our viewpoint.

Young pullets and cockerels -nculd be vaccinated against chicken "ox (sorehead) preferably when they are about 12 to 14 weeks old, advises C.

However, the specialist recotamen >led that the yotrng stock be kept a way from the old bird* for at 1ea*t ' 0 days after the vaccination. ''It is best to keep vaccinated and nnvneelneted stork separated at all t tries, and to keep young pullets end cockerels off ground ranged by older birds until the vaccination has bad ample time to take effect." Parrich added. Pullets whleh have already ccme into production should not be vaccinated because It will upse-t their laying. Pullets shotted ho vaccinated against por at least 41 dav$ before 'hev come Into production.

On the suhjeet of investigations there Is another phase that rates more than Just a aide-light. It concerns a brand new plan being perfected by the liberal element of the administration to fill in the breach between where the Constitution leaves off and the desires of the liberrla begin. For some years now the liberal wing has been blocked In some of its ambitions efforts by the simple 'net that thpre Is a Constitution and courts to interpret It; What bothered this, group was that the Interpre-i tntlrn couid not be made flexible enough to. In effect, pot a man In Jail' Just because he was opposed to this plan or that. To siren invent -this bothersome situe.tlon, the liberal planners are going to bring the expedient of "Investcgatlons into plav.
