golden, turning the pallor Of dawn
into q soft and velvety haze. which
passed swiftly and merged into the
sharper CLEANS and shadows OF the

more clearly 10 the future" Tie met
his friends eye with q CHEEKY and
beautiful smile. His face lined with
fatigue was yet very gentle.
BILLY I'm so thankful you were able
to do what you dld for poor Lem. He

REVISED REVENUE LAW in
EFFECT NEW GEARS DAY.
Especial to the Herald.)

Madison, Wis, Dec 19-The revised
September made number of changes
in the special tax government license)
features which become effective on
January /, 1917, and will prove of gen
eral interest at this time.
The special tax Of $3.50 per year
quired to pay under the provisions Of
the old law is repealed, effective Jan
uary 1st The special taxes on dealers
in leaf tobacco, commercial brokers,
commission merchants and capital and
surplus of banks are also repealed.
The special taxes on billiard and
pool tables, theaters, public exhibit
fiOns, circus, brokers, pawnbrokers,
custom house brokers, manufacturers
of cigars and manufacturers of tobac-
co are continued and made a part of
the permanent legislation, with modi-
fcations as stated below.
All billiard and pool tables and
bowling alleys, except those in pri-
waite homes, are taxed at the rate Of
pOsUO CclCIl pei ySdl, L Ills lllCIuuGD
all tables and alleys in clubs, lodge
halls, church auxiliaries, and similar
establishments which were exempt
from taxation under the former law
Theaters in cities and villages Of
less than 5000 inhabitants pay one
half the former rate of tax per an
mum, based on seating capacity, while
those in cities of 5000 or more pay
the same rate Of annual tax as was
levied under the former law.
All persons, firms and corporations
subject to any of these taxes are re-
quired by law to file in the Office Of the
collector Of internal revenue a sworn
return of liability not later than Jan
uary 81 and pay the amount Of tax
due the government. Delinquency in
filing the return results in so per cent
additional tax being assessed against
the delinquent
However, as the law places upon the
taxpayer the obligation Of making vol
untary return, if parties subject to
any OF these taxes fail to receive prop
er blanks during the month Of Deem
Der application for same should be
made to the collector of Internal reve-
nue., Madison, Wis

CALL OF THE WILD IN
RICHLAND COUNTY.
(Richland DemOcrat.)

Last Thursday, A. E. McClaren, a
resident of the village of Beach, and
who follows the occupation of junk
dealer found a wounded deer near the
road on the south branch Of Ash
Creek He notified the proper authori-
ties, with the result that the officials
of Madison ordered the animal killed
and dressed and the carcass sent to
the capital city. 1t appears that many
Of our residents have become afflicted
with a desire for venison as a part
of their bill of fare. No less than sew
en- deer are reported killed within the
last week in the townships of Orion,
Buena Vista, Richland and Ithaca
Some of our violators made hay
when the sun shone" that is, while the
public guardians were in the north
woods.

PRINTERS UP AGAINST IT.

It is said that thirty Wisconsin news
papers have already suspended pub

penses incidental to the publication Of
newspapers In Ohio Ito papers have
already gone out Of business and many
