steward of the Owls, was found in
charge and was ordered to appear
this morning before the municipal
court.
The above visit was followed at
about 10 o'clock Saturday evening by
another on the second floor of the
Darby block, to a room in which it
was suspected that poker joint was
in operation. The sheriffs participating
were Pomerleau, Bullock, Jones, Lew
is and Emery, and while on entering
the room they found no one there
everything was apparently ready for
use, including tables with cards upon
them, also paper and pencils, and
chairs around the tables.

Sheriff Pomerleau also made several
Webb law seizures Saturday morning.

took box containing four quarts of
whiskey and one quart of wine adj

s.. E. Bradford of Hebron was dis

municipal court Friday, where he was
charged with passing fraudulent
check. The complaint was made by
James Elms at whose store Bradford
passed a check for s12 which was later
held up by the Paris Trust Co. The
defence showed that on the same day
the check was issued Bradford had
sent more than enough money to the
bank to cover the amount of the check
and 1t was only by accident that the
check arrived before the money.

Itchy Salt Rheum
Sometimes Called Eczema-Renoved
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.


Salt rheum is one of the worst and
unfortunately one of the most COM
mon of all diseases. How it reddens
the skin, itches, oozes, dries and
scales, and then does thisN all over
again. Sometimes it covers the whole
body with infamed, burning patches
and causes intense suffering.
Salt rheum comes from humors in
the blood. This is why local applica-
tions do so little good. 1t will con-
tinue to exist, annoy, pain and per-
haps agonize, until these humors have
been removed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. 1t goes to the source of the
trouble 1t cleanses the blood of the
humors that cause salt rheum 1t has
given perfect satisfaction in theus-
ands of cases. Get it today.-Adv.

PRESENCE OF A FLY A
DANGER SIGNAL.

THE fly has been tried and
1 found guilty. in spite of
the questionings of those
who maintain the doctrine that
every creature performs some
useful purpose. Undoubtedly
the fly does, for where there is
an abundance of filth there will
the flies gather together, there
will they multiply and increase.
Their function today is nothing
moro or less than danger sig
nal to indicate insanitary con-
ditions. Abolish these, and the
breeding places of tho flies will
bo eradicated.
One intelligent and energetic
person can start a successful
movement for the extermina-
ton of the house fly in any COM
munity il no or she is resource
full and patient as we'll.

INCOME TAX FALLS SHORT
ESTIMATED $4,000 ARE DoDGING
ASSESSMENTS.
Only S28,ooo,oo Collected When $45,,
100000 Mas Expended-44 Persons
With Over 100000 Incomes.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Unless the
experts who figured out the ~"taxables'
wheT congress was working on the
income tax law were far at sea in
their calculations, there are more
than 100000 income tax dodgers who
have evaded the internal revenue col
lector and failed to pay their share
Of the toll.
According to figures made public
by the secretary of the treasury, $751;
59S returns were made under the in
come a law during the fiscal year
just ended. The estimates on which
congress did much. of its work on the
act gave a total of $4,000 taxable
incomes. These estimates did not in
clude incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000. According to the statement,
1926 returns were made on incomes
between these limits, so that the total
discrepancy between the estimates and
the incomes is 146,S28. 1t was not
expected at the time that these esti-
mates would prove correct, but to have
actual returns fall so far below the
estimates has led to the belief that
out of the $4,000 missing there must
be many ~delinquents. )
The internal revenue bureau, months
ago, announced that it had begun o
campaign to detect dodgers. This
campaign has been pushed vigorously
and it is understood that results may
be forthcoming soon. There is little
doubt that every effort will be made
to catch up with violators, for, as a
revenue producer, the law has fallen
considerably below expectations, turn.
ing in about $2S, 200, 900 for the payable
10 months of last year instead of
about $45, 900, 900 as had been expect
ed. Not a single class of incomes
lived up to the hopes of the estima-
tors. In the $4,000 to $4,000 class,
however, the discrepancy was greater,
the estimates being 17S,000 and the re-
turn 101, 71S. Incomes from 1000 to
$4,000 were only found to number 114,.
4S4, while the estimate was 10000.
The announcement showed that A
returns were made on incomes over
1000, 900; 81 on incomes between
$500, 900 and 81 1000, 900, and 222 on in.
comes between $25O,O0O and $500, 600,
and 1,241 on incomes between $780,
900 and $~250,000. In no instance were
these figures near the estimates which
put the s1,000,000 incomes at 100, the
next at $50, the next at 500, and the
$10O.0 900 to $780, 900 at $500.
There were 6,682 married women
who made separate returns, the total of
all married persons making returns
was 27S,S35; the single men numbered
55.212. and the single women 23,551.

Russians Score Victory


by the Germans in the battle of Tan
%nenberg, east Prussia.
Russians Score Victory.
In the present battle on the river
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
river Pilica, the Russians are said to
have scored an important victory in
driving the Germans back and have
captured many prisoners, besides guns
and ammunition. But the defeated
army, when it gets back to its selected
position, can entrench and start an
other siege battle such as that which
occurred OIL the river Aisne in France.
Southwark of the Pilica the Germans
hold the river Vistula except in front
of the fortress at I~vangorod, where
they were driven back by attacks from
that stronghold.
Austrian Army Not Crushed.
The Austrian army, which was so
often described as routed and de-
stroyed in the battles of Galicia, has
sprung into life again and is attack
ing the Russian left wing. The Aus
TRANS. however, apparently have found
an impenetrable barrier at the River
San north of Jaroslow.

The Germans, heavily REINFORCED

brigade of 10000 men, have extended
their base from Ostend to M~arialenke
and Middlekerke, half way between
Ostend and Newport, and from these
positions are Smelling the Belgian line,
which extends from Newport south
along the River User, a distance of Is
miles. the German left flank rests on
the coast.
The Belsians are being aided by the
French land forces, the British war
ships on the sea, and the British mont
tors and small g%unboats in the canals
and rivers.
The ferocity of the t~hree-cornered
bombardment continues u~ndiminished.
Losses on both sides are reported to
be terrific. The Germans are reported
to have left 10000 dead and wounded
on the field.
Russians Claim Victory.

and counter attacks delivered almost
continuously for a week or more by
the allies and the Germans have re-
suited in no definite decision in the
~stupendous battle now raging in West
Flanders and Northern France. The
other titanic contest in the eastern
