Carrying the ''Star
of Bethlehem"

THE Star Of Bethlehem as seen in
l. Holland is a pretty, but a cheap
sight, for it costs nothing. Ts
the harbinger Of Christmas, a huge
illuminated star, which Is carried
through the silent, dark Dutch streets,
shining upon the crowding people and
typical Of the star which once guided
the wise men Of the East.
The young men Of a Dutch town who
go to the expense Of this star, which
Is carried through the streets as a sig
nal that Christmas has come once
again, are swayed by the full intention
of turning the Star Of Bethlehem to
account.
They gather money from the crowds
for the poor, and, having done this for
the good Of those whom fortune has
not b~efriended, they betake them to
the head burgomaster Of the town,
who Is bound to set down the youths
who form the star company to a very
comfortable meal. IT'S a great insti.
tuition, the Star of Bethlehem, in many
Dutch towns and cities. And may II
never die out, for it does harm to no
man and good to many.

JOIN PUBLIC SERVICE
RESERVE AND HELP WIN

To the man who wants to do
something to help his country win the
war but who feels that he cannot sup
port his family on a soldiers pay or
for other reasons he cannot don a
soldiers uniform, the u. S. Public
Service Reserve affords the opportun-
lty. II puts him in the way of find
ing war work without leaving civilian
life, at regular and good wages, pro-
vided he is adept at n Of the vari-
GUS trades which are in demand just
now. Millions of men will be needed
and the northwest is asked to organ
ize in this movement.
When the Government, or some
private industry engaged in war work,
finds it's pace slowing down because
Of q shortage of men, and no quail
fled men who are unemployed are
available, the u. S. Public Service
Reserve is quickly notified. It goes
over it's lists for men Of the kind
needed, every nan enrolled having
been card-indexed in detail showing
just what he can do to serve his
country.
The enrolled men are notified just
a soon as they r needed. Mean
while they can stick at their present
jobs with a clear conscience. When
they are called it is up to them, and
only to them, to decide whether they
wish to go to the new job. Enroll
ment obligates no one. The soldier IN
the. army must 60 where the orders
say. To the worker the U. S Gov
ernment simply gives notice where
he can get aboard the war machine
and leaves it entirely to him to act
as, the circumstances and his W
conscience compel. No man is forced
to: take a job he doesn't want, just
because he is enrolled.
In diverting workers from non-es-
sential to essential industries, the in
forests of the non-essential industry
arse not to be overlooked. The Pub
lie Service Reserve endeayors to effect
the transfer Of men from peace work
to- war work with as little disturbance
as possible. It intends to call on its
members in any considerable numbers
sair in q way that will require locai-
tiaEs and. employers to bear no more
thadh their fair share Of a burden
wttih must be borne Its f~undanaea-
ta4lIpolicy is to prevent any non-es-
sential industry from being suddenly
criiHpled because a. great number or
itssemployees have become fired with
patriotism and the realization that It
Americans are to live in security
hereafter they. must now put their
shoulders to the wheels of war.

INCOME TAX NAN
TO Be ON DUTY
IN STARK COUNTY

In addition to the regular income
tax law that has been in effect sew
eral years Congress, on October 8,
1917, passed a measure known as the
War Revenue law, the object being to
procure additional money with which
to carry on the war The old income
tax law provides that every married
person living with wife or husband is
allowed an exemption Of $4,000 and
every unmarried person who is not
the head of a family is allowed an ex-
emption of $4,000 before they are re-
quired to pay a tax. The War Reve-
nue. Law provides that every married
person living with wife or husband
must paw a tax on that portion of
that persons net income that exceeds
$4,000 and that every unmarried per-
son not the head Of a family must
pay a tax on that portion of that per-
sons net income that exceeds $1,000.
This law is retroactive; that is, it be-
came effective January 1, 1917, so
that all persons who come under the
classes above described are required
to render a statement OF their net in
come for the year 1917: This state
ment must be returned to the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue or n Of
his duly authorized representatives be-
tween December 81 and March 1, 1918.
Failure on the part Of any one liable
to make the above described report
within the prescribed time makes that
person liable to a heavy fine or a
term in prison, or both, in addition to
a penalty of so per cent of their tax.
Ignorance of this law will not excuse
any one. All persons liable to make
this return must secure from the Col
lector of Internal Revenue the proper
blanks and make the return, or later
suffer the consequence.
The Government realizes that thous-
ands and thousands Of persons will
now be required to make this return
who we're exempt in former years and
is very anxious to give every possible
aid to this class in order that they
may avoid the penalties which this
law prescribes. For that reason the
internal revenue collector for this dis
trict has been authorized to employ the
necessary number of additional field
men; see that they are properly in
structed as to the provisions Of the
law and send them throughout this
district prepared to help all farmers
and business men who are liable under
