See Alma Tonight.

'Alma- Where Do Y ou-Live ?" IS
the only attraction which ever was
played in three languages in one city
at one time. While this attraction
was being played at Joe Weber
Theatre in New York in English,
Adolf Phillips was playing it in
German and a French company was
also playing it in that language.
This is record held by no other
attraction and only goes to show the
popularity of this fascinating musicaE
comedy surprise. The famous Alma
waltz the strains of which run all the
way through the piece has a great
deal to do with tbs popularity as it is
a waltz which when once heard can

and whistling kind. At Hatch 3

FEDERAL WAR TAX
HITS LOCAL BUSINESS
Banks and Theatres are Hit
the Heaviest
Stamps on Documents Again Neces-
sary as in Days Following Span
ish-American War.

Although the United States is al
peace with all the world we are now
starting in to raise as a war tax
more than one hundred millions of
dollars year in the way of stamp
taxes, collected through the internal
revenue department to make good the
losses in revenue resulting from the.
falling off in tariff duties through the
operation of the new democratic tariff
law.
1t is called an emergency revenue
bill, or war-tax bill, and its needs
is attributed to the great war now(
raging in Europe. The law is far
reaching in its effect, and in one way
or another hits almost every kind Of
business.
Bankers are required to pay one
dollar per year for each $1,000 of
capital stock-their surplus and IN
divided profits to be counted as
capital stock. This will bring in
about 5000 in Lancaster. J. D.
Hatch and F. C. Burr are required to
pay tax of $50 and $25 a year
respectively for the privilege of
operating their theatre. Brokers Of
all kinds are taxed from $40 to 500
each, but there are no brokers in
this city at present. Bowling alleys
and billiard rooms must pay a tax of
So for each alley or table operated.
Cigar manufacturers pay tax IN
accordance with the size of their
business, and dealers in oleomargarine.
must pay literally for the selling of
that product.
Seven penalties are imposed for
failure to have paid these taxes dur
ing the month of December. Dealers
in manufactured tobacco whose annual
sales amount to $500 or more, are
taxed 81 80 for doing business. Beer
is taxed an extro so cents per BARREL
but since Lancaster went dry last
July we have no dealers to be effect
ed by this. This increased stamp tax.
has to be paid by the brewers, but in
Milwaukee, at least, and quite gener-
ally throughout the country, the
brewers are adding the extra tax to,
price of the beer and the saloon keep
er is 1.-THE goat
Stamps must be affixed to legal pa
pers of many kinds the same as In
days following the Spanish American
war.
There will be no stamps required
upon bank checks, as was the former,
law, but deeds and mortgages, insur-
ance policies and many other doeu
ments will not be legal without them
Patent medicines and other proprietary
preparations have to be stamped &C
cording to their price.

Bloomington Stage Capsized

Jay Donnelly, driver of the Bloom
ington stage, had a painful and
disastrous experience last Saturday
while making his morning drive
from Bloomington to Lancaster. In
the stage with him were his fve-year
old son and VIM. Winner, of Bee
town. When they had reached the
top of the Lamson hill, mile or so
west of Porter's bridge, the mules
got frightened at something and
started to run away. The stage was
overturned, with the occupants under
it, and they were dragged quite a
distance over the stony road before
Donnelly, who chung onto the lines,
was able to stop the team. The two
men extricated themselves from
under the stage, but missed the boy,
who had been tossed to one side of
the road when the stage went over,
and was practically unhurt. Both
men were badly bruised up and the
top of the wagon pretty well de-
molished. The hill where the acct
dent occurred is long and dangerous
one on a compound curve and all con-
cerned may feel thankful that they
were hurt no worse.

Pass The Plate for Starving
BelgianS.
To the Editor.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir Christmas approaches
and countless unhappy Belgians, des-
pite governmental relief, the Rookie
Teller Foundation and other valuable
agencies, are confronted with starva-
rion. l therefore beg the favor of
your columns to say that the Dollar
Christmas Fund for Homeless Bel
gians, of which / am treasurer, is
working for the special purpose of
preventing starvation amongst hun
dreds of thousands of Belgians this
winter. For this purpose we are CO.
operating with the London Shilling
Fund.- a much older fund which has
collected nearly $500, 900 and which
is expressly organized to see that no
Belgian man, woman or child spends
Christmas tide devoid of food and
shelter.
There will be no duplicating, no
overlapping and every penny sub
scribed will go direct to the victims
in whose behalf ] appeal. I believe
this great work of mercy commands
the sympathy of us all and more es-
pecially in this month when Ameri-
cans doubly blessed with peace and
plenty are preparing to celebrate the
day of Thanksgiving. Inspired by
this thought | suggest various ways in
which you can help to avert the agony
of suffer ing which must otherwise
confront the refugees during the COM
ing winter. You can send donation
to our fund addressed to myself as
treasurer, Messr. Henry Clews & Co.,
Bankers, Broad Street, New York, or
you can apply to our Secretary, Percy
Bullen, IS Broadway, New York for
collecting card. He will be glad to
issue same to any person enclosing
references. Churches, chapels, clubs,
societies and Sunday Schools can as
sist by a collection. Entertainment
committees may render great help by
sending us the proceeds of benefit
performances. In all these ways
friends everywhere are assisting no
bly,. All the money received will be
cabled to Europe before Dec goth
Many heads of families and boarding
houses have promised to pass the
plate' for the homeless Belgians be-
fore the turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
The needs are Unreasonable. Let US
remember that no little nation in
the worlds long history has been
more grievously stricken yet no people
can raise their heads more proudly
from the dust. THE CROWN OF
THORNS IS STILL A CROWN
Help us as best you can. Your gift
will surely be remembered long after
the war has ceased and no mans
Thanksgiving or Christman Day will
be the less happy because in some
cases the gift may entail some meas
ure of personal sacrifice.
Yours very truly,
HENRY CLEWS.

Farm Schools Do
Great Work.

One o. the most striking features Of
the Profitable Farming Campaign was
the part taken in it by the four Dis
trict Agricultural Schools. Before the
campaign started even. active interest
was taken in it by \. C. Rays of the
. 3He .Eoro school, g. A. Cole of the
Russcllvile School. Frank iorsfall o,
the Monticello School, and +. f.
Austin of the Magnolia School These
farmi. q men net only got out ard
worked on the campaign themselves,
but they enlisted the support Of the
men and women associated with then
in the schools.
No other state perhaps has such
schools a. these in Arkansas. They
are called b. those who know their
work, The Backbone Of the State.
They are The result of the pioneer
r.ork done by Geo. A. Cote and the
Farmers Union Some years ago tn"
farmers all over the state saw the need

made : successful fight to get then.
The Schools are located in the geo

sections OF the state There are ~
