This new system will eliminate
much of that. When each consu.

he will be more careful of the de-

RespnnIng to Cry Of Relief

The American Red Cross is at
tempting to respond to the most
beseeching and farreaching appeal
ever made for mercy and relief.
The American people are today
the richest in resources, richest in
obligations and in opportunities
The Red Cross aims to mobilize the
hearts and souls of America TO-
ward binding up the wounds of :,
bleeding world.
Up to date approximately 1885,
o0O,OOO in cash has been collected!
for the war fund. The demands,
however, in Europe, are increas.
ing with great rapidity and ON the
present basis of expenditure the
slOO,O00,000 War fund cannot last
much beyond spring.
Forty-nine base hospital units
and five for the navy have been
recruited, organized and equipped
by the Red Cross. More than II
of the army units and two of the
navy units have been mustered in
TO their respective medical corps
and are seeing SERVE. These units
can care for 500-bed hospital each
and some of them have been rein
forced to enable them to take over
larger hospitals.
The Red Cross has also organic
ed 45 ambulance companies, with
a total personnel of $3.50, all of
which Rave been taken into the
army medical corps, some for SEP
vice abroad, others for the camps
and environments. A general hos

James Coffey of Aberdeen, S. d.
Collector of Internal Revenue for
the district of North Dakota an
nounces that all income tax officer
will arrive in Wahpeton, Feb. 4th
in the morning and may be found
by all persons Of this vicinity who
seek information in regard to MAX
ing out their government individ-
ual and corporation income tax re-
turns, i'll the Court House in the
Evening, Feb. 10th.
The sole purpose of the Govern
ment, in sending this man, is to be
helpful to all persons who are re-
quired to make a return of their
income. He will welcome the op-
ortunity to give you all the inform
alton at his disposal, and to actu-
ally help to make the return with
out any expense to you.
The War Revenue Law passed
by the Congress Oct. 3, 1917, re-
quires every married person liv-
ing with wife or husband to pay a
tax to the Government on that por-
ton of that persons net income
that exceeds $4,000 and every UNI
married person, not the head of -
family to pay a tax on that por-
ton Of that persons s net income
that exceeds $1,000; so that if You
are married and your income is
over $4,000 or more you must make
a return and if you are not mar
ried, and your income is $1,000 or
more you make return for the
year 1917.
You have 60 lays from the close
of the year 1917 within which TO
make this return, which means
that you must have the returns
in the hands Of the Collector by
March 1st, 1918.
The Government is under no OBJ
legation to help you make this re.
turn. Neither is the Government
Under any obligation to ea'i upon
you personally and advis" yol;
about this law. The Government
howver, realizes that a great many
thousands of people, especially
farmers, who will be subject to this
law, may not be advised at this
time that there ism any such law.
For that reason everything possible
is being done to help the taxpayer
comply with the law in order that
it may be put into effect with the
least possible Inconvenience to the
people.
The penalty for failure to make
this return as required by law is
fine ranging from $40 to 5000 or
a Jail sentence, or both. The in
come tax officer will be provided
with supply of blanks upon which
to make returns.

Series Of Short Courses

1t will be the policy of the
County Agent to give a series OF
Short courses along agricultural
lines during the months of Jan.

courses will be along lines in
which the apparent need is great.
est. They will be held in every
community and every Farmer S
Club. In every case a specialist or
the particular subject in hand will!
handle the brunt If the work. The
c'st will be ve"y ."ali because the
specialist will work successive dav.,
in neighboring towns. This plan
will reduce railroad expenses to a
minimum, leaving only hall rent,
heat and light. In many places the
school house will be available. The
house is the natural community
center. 1t is the best place for this
work. Both your state and county
superintendent sanction the use OF
school house for community gather
ings of this kind.
The short course work for this
winter will be on the Potato. This
subject was selected for the follow
ing reasons:
l. There is world food short
age at the present time. BY means
OF the potato We can raise a large
amount of good food in a short
time.
9. There is great deal of good
potato soil in Richland County.
3. There is very much more to
learn about growing and market
ing of potatoes.
4. The worth Of the potato is
not fully appreciated.
In order to- give everyone in the
county an opportunity to get good
sound potato information, the fol-
