have not suffered a paralysis of their

with us and that we must endure for
another season a condition which Js
not only disagreeable in the extreme

How long must tho people suffer?
Some patriotic mind has suggested
that this war will not be won by 11-

THE COMING CHAUTAUQUA
Tho Chautauqua next week. Don't
miss it. The program includes much
that is interesting, entertaining and
informative. The patriotic features
promise, to be especially interesting.
It is in thp province of the Chautau
qua to give that to a community which
can hardly be obtained through any
othor source. It brings the people to
gether in social intercourse, which in
itself is of tremendous value. It is
unfortunately true that people of
Hnall towns and rural communities do
not come together socially as often as
they should. This is one of the chief
purposes of the Chautauqua.
Another advantage it offers is rec
reation and entertainment for tho
masses of people who live in small
towns and rural communities, whose
opportunities to enjoy pleasures of
this kind are infrequent. All classes
of people need clean, wholesome
amusement, and this is what the Chau-
/tauqua stands for. ' '
great many of the men and women of
Dooly have responded to the third
call for .American Liberty, while it is
doubtful If any have had to make any
really great sacrifice to do what has
been done, yet' there is no question
ing the fact that a true spirit of pa
triotism has prompted many to meet
this call as they have. There are some
however, who have withheld their
support from this plan to finance the
war. • What are they? These who
have the money and refuse to lend it
Let them answer for themselves. If
they are intelligent and have any
knowledge of the real condition of
one of Ger- things at this time, they must know
ers has. been! that he who is not for the government
* Is against it. There can be no middle
groupd now, and the American slave
to greed, who is standing by holding
tight to the mouth of his purse, be he
rich or poor, and letting others sup
ply those things that are being used
to protect him, his home, family and
property, from a danger so great that
it is incomprehensible, is worse than
a traitor and does not deserve to en
joy the liberty that free America af
fords. i
All that relieves a man or woman
from the obligation to give moral and
financial support to the government
now is mental or physical incapacity.

AN OLD ENEMY
Pig pens agalnl Although they are
something we always have with us,
and are at all times a thorn in the
flesh of all patrons of cleanliness, yet
there are certain seasons of the year
when they become more objectionable
than they are at others. They are al
ways unsightly and almost always
filthy. A clean pig pen is a i
thing. Indeed their scarcity just
about equals that of the proverbial
cn up to fire and sword. For 300 or
100 miles vast armies have poured on.
Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
U only organized pillage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ransack
cd on system; its citizens plundered,
its civil officials terrorized, imprison
ed, outraged or killed. The Civil pop
ulation has been, contrary to the us
age of modern warfare forced to serve
the invading armies, brutally put to
death, reduced to wholesale starva
tion and desolation. Vast tracts of
the richest and most industrious dis
tricts of Europe have been delibor-
atcdly stripped and plunged into fam
ine, solely in order that the invaders
might make war cheaply. Irregular
troops, contrary to all the practical
of war, have been systematically mur.
dered, and civil populations indiscrim
inately massacred, solely to spread
terror, A regular system of ingenious
terroism has been directed against
civilians, as horrible as anything in
the history of civil or religious wars.
Large and populous cities have been,
not once, but twenty, thirty, forty
times, bombarded and burnt, and the
women qnd children in them wantonly
slaughtered, with the sole object of in
flicting suffering. All this has been
done not in license or passion, but by
the calculating ferocity of scientific
hen’s teeth.

It's time to use Doan’s Kidney Pills
Here is convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. H. R. Feavey. 211 S. Lee St

shape with my back and kidneys and
almost had to go to bed. My back
eras in terrible shape. I waa bothered
by dizzy spells and black spots before
pains
darted throughout my back. I had
tried all sorts of remedies aad medi

I used Doan’s Widney Pills. One box
cured me.”

April 1, 1918, Is the Anal day al
lowed under the federal Income tax
law for the filing of federal Income
tax returns. Persons who are requir
ed to file returns under the provisions
of law and who fall to get their re
turns in on time are subject to se
vere penalties, as follows: ,
For making false or fraudulent re
turn, not exceeding $2,000 or not ex
ceeding one year's Imprisonment, or
both, In the discretion of the court,'
and, In addition, 100 per cent of the
tax evaded.
For falling to make return on time,
not less than $20 nor more* than $L*
000, and, in addition, 50 per cent of
the amount of tax doe.
If on account of Illness or absence
from home you are unable to render
your return within the time prescribed
by law yon may, obtain an extension
of ao days if a request therefor is filed
with the collector of your district be
fore the dne date of the return. In
this request yon mast state the 'rea
son why the return cannot be filed
within the time prescribed by law.
Collectors of Internal revenue are
not authorized to grant extensions of
more than 30 days, but the commis
sioner of Internal revenue has author
ity to grant a reasonable extension
beyond 30 days In meritorious cases.
If you desire an extension of more
than 30 days your request shqnid be
addressed to the commissioner and
should contain n detailed statement
covering the reasons which make It
Impossible for you to file your return
on or before April 1.
The Internal revenue men are now
completing their tour of the country,
during which they were Ih touch with
the people of every city and town. If
you failed to got In touch with the
deputy which visited your section. It Is
not too late to got advice. Consult
your postmaster ns to where the near
est deputy Is now. Get your blank
form, study the directions and the re
quirements as shown thereon and
make your return without fall If your
Income was sufficient to come within
the bounds named In the law.
It Is pointed out by Commissioner
Roper Hint It Is Important that the
people comply Willi the federal lawa
ns fully ns they tire complying with
the drafts for men and the conserva
tion of foods and fuel. “The war must
lie inilil for," says Commissioner Roper.
“Congress lias ns much right to con
script n Just portion of Income as It
has to conscript our boys. The tax
for 1917 Is designed to reach moder
ate ns well ns largo Incomes, so that
all persons who are In financial posi
tion to bear a portion of the heavy
government expenses can be assessed
In proportion to their ability to pay.
'Tho‘man who Is barely making n
living or barely supporting a family
Is not nffected by the 1917 law. But
the man who Is able to bear a share
of the burden 1ms been reached by
the uew law, and lie should accept his
responsibility In the samo patriotic
spirit that our young men have shown
In offering* themselves for this grant
purpose of the country to make the
world safo for people of all kinds to
live lu and to govern themselves.’’
This tax Is ono which recognizes
women as on an equal basis with men.
The unmarried woman or the married
woman with n salary rau3t. make -tax
return just the sumo us any man. Only
tho woman supporting licr mother or
other members of her family muy take
out $2,000 exemption.
Under tho law tho head of the fami
ly Is the one wllosc earning power con-
trlkutes to the family’s support.
Similarly a widow with small chil
dren to-support can take out $2,000
exemption and $200 additional exemp
tion for each of her children under
eighteen. Thus it Is Intended that
the law shall work no hardship to wo
men having to struggle to get along.
But each must file return It her In
come la $1,000.
A man whose wife dies und who Is
left with small children to support
upon a moderate Income may also take
fall exemption under tho new tax law
and also claim $200 exemption for
arch of bis children under eighteen.
The widower under the law la a
single man and must make tax re
tain accordingly. Married men need
not file returns unless they ere earn
ing $2,000 or more.
“This Is as much s national obliga
tion as the reporting for dnty of a man
dratted for service with the colors,"
says D. C. Roper, commissioner of In
ternal revenue. “As It stands, It Is
much a matter of the man or wo-
man’a own conscience. It la for him
or for her to determine lost how far
he Is liable to the tax. He most figure
hie own Income end If It reaches the
flgnree named in the law must make
falthtnl report upoe It to the proper
authority.
“This tax Is distinctly n war mea»
