stock surplus and undivided profits
will yield a goodly amount.
Billiard and pool halls are required
to pay tax of SIS tab'e, and another
zig source of revenue will be the con-
fectionery stores, retail cigar stores,
saloons and other places where cigars
and tobacco are sold. Places selling
5000 worth of cigars a year must pay
tax of $3.50. Commission firms must
pay $50 each.
Theaters, the seating capacity of
which is in excess of 1000 must pay
war tax of 100 each, other theatres
paying from $25 to $50 each.
Brokers will pay $50 each, and
pawnbrokers are taxed.
Long distance telephone calls will
be taxed from one to five cents, and
kilograms will be the given the bene-
fit of a war stamp. In addition all pub
lie documents, bonds, mortgages and
deeds of transfer will bear their share
of the war tax burden. Sleeping car
tickets will also be taxed.
There is some uncertainty as to
what amount is to be fixed on some
of the taxable enterprises. However,
the general public will be apprised be-
fore the limit is exceeded.

BUY SOMETHING

From the southland comes an ap.
peal to "buy bale of cotton" in orde,
to help out the hard-pressed planter
From the coast we are requested to
"buy a box of apples" that the fruit
grower may make ends meet. The
Northern News, Spooner, Minn., edited
by George Erickson, and censored by
Mrs. George, suggests "buy a cord of
wood" to help out Northern Mime
sofa homesteader, while Bob Dunn
from Princeton the metropolis of
Spudland, exhorts the populace to
"buy load of potatoes, for the
good of the honest yeomanry who
elected him to the state senate by a
unanimous vote.
We thought of making an appeal
to the world to buy something of our
locality, not because we are hard up,
but just to get into the swim, but we
found we were up stump. We could
not make up our mind whether to ask
the purchasing public to "buy a box
of eggs, crate of poultry, beef
|critter,' fat hog, firkin of butter,
a load of corn, some barley or rye,
Gin the form of grain), ton of hay,
some honey or cheese" In fact, our
resources are so numerous and our
productions so varied that if the peoy
pie live and eat they must buy of US.
We don't have to make any special ap ]
peals.

LARGE war TAX
The Federal Revenue Throughout thu
Northwest Will Yield a Very
Large Revenue.

The war tax is on and those who
are to contribute to the war tax fund
on account of the Democratic emer-
gency war tax bill which has become
law will soon be called upon by in
ternal revenue collectors. The whole
northwest will pay heavy tribute and
the amount realized will run into the
hundreds of thousands. Other parts
of the country will also be taxed as
their liability under the law is shown
Duluth alone expects that the con-
tribution from that city will amount
to $25,000.

POLAND

Stricken Belgium a pealed to civil
ization in her hour Of suffering ant
travail and right grandly has civiliza
tion responded to the appeal. TIL,
worlds charitable have unloosenet
their purse stmmmmmmmmmmmmn
succor have been forwarded, and are
being prepared to be forwarded to re.
lieve their destitution. AS usual, the
United States is "First in War, First
in Peace and Foremost in Benevo-
lence," and leads all nations in the
magnitude of her contributions. This
is to her credit and it is well.
The citizens of this republic, how
ever, should realize that there is an
other country and another people
across the seas that are in as deplor-
able condition as the war scourged
Belgians. A country and a people to
whom America is closer bound to by
ties of sentiment and real obligation
than Belgium.
When this nation in its infancy was
struggling for its independence it sent
its trained leaders and tried soldiers
to aid US in fighting the battles of
freedom and their aid contributed in
no small degree to our ultimate sue
cess. On every revolutionary battle
field, and on every American battle
field since that time Polish blood has
been shed and American soil has COW
cred the bodies of Polish warriors who
fell fighting for the American flag.
Polands sturdy sons and daughters
have helped people our frontiers, SUBJ
due the wilderness, and have mater
tally aided in building up our unparel-
led prosperity.
Today Poland lies in the pathway
of contending armies, Russian, Aus
trian and German. None of them
friendly, alien all. Her grain ricks
are burned, her locks scattered, her
substance devoured, her country de-
wasted and her villages laid waste and
desolate. Today the people of bleed.
ing Poland are facing the rigors of a
Polish winter, ten-fold more severe
than a Flanders winter time in g
state of absolute destitution. Unless
succOr is sent and sent speedily, star
vation, cold and plague will exact such
a toll from this brave people as will
make the soul of man shudder to con-
template.
It seems to US that a great popular
Polish benefit subscription should be
that in view of our sem
timental relations with and real obli-
cations to this land of sorrow and
that the President, in the
near future, by proclamation, should
designate Polish gift day and call
upon every citizen to contribute out
Of their abundance to that ancient and
honorable commonwealth that never
failed to respond to our call for help
in time of our need.
Let us not forget Poland!

CONFEDERATE PRIVATE
FOR HALL OF FAME
PORTRAIT OF e. D. cAvETT WILL
BE HUNG IN GALLERY WITH
GENERALS AND STATESMEN.

Jackson, Miss, July PA long
cherished purpose of the historical de-
partment of this state has been car
ried out, and a portrait of a private
Confederate soldier was placed in the
hall of fame as an honor to the 'pri-
vate in the ranks" of the Confederacy
during the civil war.
DR.. Dunbar Rowland, director of
archives and history, originated the
idea of honoring the privates. The
hall Of fame contains portraits of
generals, governors and statesmen, but
until today the private was not rep
resented.
Instead of using an idealized figure,
as was at first contemplated, the plan
materialized into an invitation to Hon.
E. D. Cavett, of Macon, Noxubee coun.
ty, representative in the legislature
to permit his likeness, taken in 1861
at the youthful age of 16 years, to be
enlarged and placed in the hall OF
fame. When it was explained that the
portrait was not personal, but intended
to represent the soldier in the ranks
Mr.. Cavett consented. The portrai
is a masterpiece of art, the work O
a New Orleans artist from a dim ant
time-worn photograph that was takei
of Mr.. Cavett during the war.

Yet all unopened lie;
To azure patches DER the roofs
My restless glances fly;
And roads that wander down
Through sun and shade and silver

And take me far from town.
Beyond the whir of wheels and wires,
The pail of smoke and steam,
The woods are dancing in the wind,
The singing waters CLEAN,
And every tiny bud that blows,
And every buzzing bee,
And bird, and breeze, and billow, sends
A wireless call to me.
