LAUGHING LAZINESS?

muscles of the face to make a smile

they insinuate that laughing is a
form of laziness?
“ECLIPSE PARTIES”
We have listened at
opportunity but have failed to
catch the slightest whisper of
any “Eclipse Parties” on last
Saturday. We understand that it was
being done in all the larger cities.
There were breakfast parties, too,
in connection with the eclipse with
names alluding to the phenomenon
decorating the Menus’.
Let’s don’t overlook this .again.
Perhaps there won’t be another
eclipse, hut we can have Pageant
Parties, Festival Frolics and Blossom
Breakfasts.
Such a dandy chance to nee, and
discuss the arrangements for the
coming big event.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
BY COLLECTOR J. T. ROSE
Attention is invited to the fact
j that under the provisions of Section,
227, of the Revenue Act of 1924,
the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue only is authorized to grant ex*
tension of time for filing all classes
of income tax returns. This authori¬
ty was formerly vested in the Col¬
lector of Internal Revenue for each
of the Districts. Any request for an
extension of time for filing a re¬
turn should he addressed to the Com¬
missioner of Internal Revenue, Wash¬
ington, D. C., and should embody
specifically' the reason for the re¬
quest being made such reason ordi¬
narily being on account of unavoid¬
able absence or illness. Such applica¬
tion should be made before the final
filing date, March 15th, otherwise
there is no authority of law for
granting the extension.
A man of weak will i.r.d feeble de¬
sire is foredoomed to failure.
