Mr. Scott recently made trip OF

the causes for their troubles, the at

count of the assembling of people in
Mexico City from all parts of the

EXPENSES OF SECOND
SELECTIVE DRAFV BIG

Expenses Of the second se!ective
draft in Iowa will be twice as much
as the first selective draft, accord
ing to estimates being filed by local
boards in the adjutant generals de-
partment.
Every board is afraid thai the
estimates of its expenditures foc the
next two months will not be ade-
quate." said Major X. w. Smell, dis
pensing officer.
The first draft in this state cost
more than $4,000, or an average
cost for each man drafted in the
state of $4.35.
Major Smell explains that one OF
the chief reasons for the high esti-
mates being made by the boards is
that they are unaccustomed to the
workings of the new selective draft
rules. One order received last week
has been changed twice since the
first order was issued.

Fort Logan, Colo, Dec. 81, 1917.
Dear Friend Mr.. Hoogenakker:
1 will write you a line to let you
know where and how am, and about
my trip. Thus far it has been quite
an experience trip, as l never before
had been this far west. The day we
enlisted at Des Moines, il remember
rightly, they said that there were
one hundred fifty that enlisted. 1t
seems like a lot of men. We left
the night of December 18th at two
o'clock for Omaha. Then we did see
a crowd. If -len. We got IN there
at 900 a. m. We were examined
there and all who passed left at 1880
d. m. for Fort Logan on special
train of nine cars-350 men. We
arrived at one o'clock p. m. on Wed
nesday. We stopped 20 minutes at
Sterling, Colo, for breakfast. When
we got out to the Post then we did
see some crowd. We were out there
two days. l got two shots-one for
smallpox and one for typhoid. Then
we were assigned to Co. -. Thcn
they brought us here to the Oxford
hotel and we ate at the Oxford cafe.
They are sure treating us fine. Very
nearly every hotel had some OF our
men in it at one time as there was
not room at the Fort. Denver papers
stated that they received IL 900 men
last week at this Fort. They are Q
fine looking bunch of men and al
look like fighting men. 1t puts one
much in mind this morning here In

by.

AUDUBON COUNTY PEOPLE
MUST MAKE REPORTS

In a communication received by this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue,
Louis Murphy, announces that fed
eral income tax officer will be sent
into this county on January End, and
will be here until January 16. He
will be at the court house in Audi
bon from January End to January 16,
both dates Inclusive. He will be on
the job every day ready and willing
to help persons subject to the income
tax and make out their returns with
out any cost to them for his services.
How many income tax payers will
there be in Audubon county? If you
can guess how many married persons
living with husband or wife will have
net incomes of $4,000 or over, and
how many unmarried persons will
have net incomes of over 81 900 this
year, then you know. The collector
of internal revenue estimates that
there will be 3S2 taxpayers in this
county.
Returns of income for the year OF
1917 must be made on forms provid
ed for the purpose, before March /
1918. Because a good many people
don't understand the law and will
no know how to make out their re-
turns, the government is sending in
this expert to do it for them. But
the duty is on the taxpayer o make
himself known to the government
II he doesn't make return as re
quired before March 1, 1918. he may
have to pay a penalty ranging from
$40 to $1,000, pay fine or go to
Jail. So If you don't want to take
chances on going to Jail, you better
can on the income tax man. If you
are not sure about being subject tc
the tax, better ask him and make
sure. Whether you see the income
tax man or not you must make re
turn il subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in 9TH
er counties may, il they want to
come and see the income tax man
who will be here on the dates before
mentioned.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however. dom
mean family expenses, money uset
to pay off the principal of debt
new machinery. buildings or any
thing like that. They mean wha
you spend in making your money
| interest, taxes paid, hired help, thu
amount paid for goods sold, seed
stock bought for feeding, rent, lex
cept for your dwelling), etc. Income
includes about every dollar you get
