A Real Soldier in Command.

President Ira l.. Reeves Of Norwich
University, who has just been elected
colonel of the First Regiment of the
Vermont National Guard, has strik
ing military record. He served sue
cessively as private, corporal and ser
geant in Company b, Fourth Infantry,
General Grant s regiment, in which he
was promoted to lieutenant and cap
tain. After serving with different com
manders he was retired with the rank
of captain on November IL, 1901, on
account of bolo and gunshot wounds
received while in action in the Philip
pines, He was present in the action at
San Juan hill during the Spanish,
American war, and did gallant service.
1t is worth everything for Vermont to
have at the head of its first regiment
of the National Guard a soldier of such
varied experience and eminent ability,
and since much of his work at the
head Of the regiment will come during
the summer vacation he will have
abundant opportunity to attend to it
without interfering with his services
at the head of Norwich university.

INTERNAL REVENUE ACT.
Emergency Act Continued Year-Spe-
cial Taxes Due in January.

The Emergency act of October %,
1914, has been extended by congress
for one year, January l to December
81, 1916, and all persons liable to the
provisions of said act should attend
to their liability during the month of
January, that is, their applications for
special stamps are due January |,
1916. The amount of tax due is for
the six months period ending June &c.
1916, or onehalf of the annual tax
To illustrate, a person Liable to spe-
cial tax as dealer in tobacco should
remit $40, which is one-half of the an
nual tax of $3.50. If received at the
Office of the collector of internal rev.
enue, at Portsmouth, n. H., or at the
office of a division deputy collector
prior to January 81. 1916, no penalty
will be exacted, but if received subse-
quent to January 81, 1916, a 50 per
cent penalty will be exacted.
1t is important that all remittances
be made in the form of certified
check, bank draft, postal or express
money order or cash. Remittances re.
ceived otherwise that is, in the form
of personal or firm checks, will be re.
turned, as acceptance of same is pro-
hibited by the statutes.
The necessary forms will soon be
mailed to taxpayers and should be
promptly executed and forwarded with
remittance.
The sixth division, district of New
Hampshire, comprising the counties OF
Bennington, Orange, Windham and
Windsor in Vermont and the counties
of Cbachira and Sullivan in Now
Hampshire, is in charge of Deputy Col
lector Irving C. Ellis, Brattleboro, Yer
mont, and taxpayers in this division
will be furnished all possible informa
ton upon request.

ceived q present the announcement was
made that there was more candy and
that any children who had brothers OF
sisters at home might report to the
committee later and receive box of
candy to carry home for those unfor.
tunate enough not to be present. 1t
was surprising how many children were
unable to attend, but after that i'm.
portant part of the entertainment had
been concluded there was still more
candy awaiting claimants.
The activities of Santa Claus were
followed by the singing of selection
by q male quartet composed of w. A.

stood and all joined in singing one
verse of America.
Those who were not accompanied by
children were asked to leave the build
ing bv the nearest exit in order to IA
ciiitate the recovery of children by
their parents or guardians. In some un-
accountable way all children were re-
covered. only here and there was a
garment lost temporarily and in 10
minutes after the last word of the
verse of America had been sung the
big auditorium was clear of all but a
few of the workers who were engaged
in making sure that no child had fallen
asleep and crept under a bench.

story apartment on the northeast corner
of Park avenue and 10Th street; Samuel
