Reports from the Italian front,
where fighting has been fiercest
lately, mention D'Annunzio, ia
nous Italian poet and novelist, as
a hero of the battle of San
Giovanni, a bloody, hand-to-hand
struggle in which the poet took
active part.

Washington's registration of
young men under the selective
draft law will not exceed 10000,
according to estimates at Olym-
pia based on a report from two
thirds of the counties of the state.
Federal officials had estimated
that this state would register
212,000 men, but this figure Is
higher than the estimate for east
ern states OF much larger popula-
ton than Washington, and Olypi-
pia executives cannot understand
how such large registration was
expected.
Although less than the number
of men expected by the govern
ment have registered in this tsate,
the number of slackers is believed
to be an inconsequential figure,
too small to make any such diff
ference in the totals.
6,57S In City.
Thirty counties out of 80
have reported a total of 1921
registered persons. These coun-
ties do not include those in which
the larger cities are located. Com.

Facts About War Insurance.

Any man or woman of any age in the active military or naval service of the United States can obtain government insurance. It has been ruled that members of offic- CTS training camps are under the act and can obtain insurance. The cost for each thousand dollars of insurance is from 65 cents a month to persons at the age of 9 to $1.2O a month to those of the age of 5l.
 The beneficiaries are limited to wife, husband, child, grandchild, brother or sister. stepbrother or stepsister, adopted brother or adopted sister of the insured, as well as parent. grandparent, or stepparent either of his or her con sort
 The insurance is not compulsory but the cost is low and the protec- tion great, and not only are all per sons eligible afforded every oppor- tunity to obtain this insurance without trouble or extra expense but they are urged to do so.
 Gen. Pershing and thousands ot other officers and tens of thous- ands of soldiers have already taker out insurance. Up to date policies of insurance have been issued az gregating $l, ,o52, e58.oOo.

No News Is Good News.

Although the failure to receive letters from men in the service is not pleasant to relatives and friends at home the adage No news is good news" never was more true than at present. The report of ev- cry casualty at home or abroad is immediately wired or cabled to of fiicals at Washington, being relayed from there without loss oft time to the emergency addl ess of the sol dier CT sailor affected. 1t is also at once released for publication in the newspapers. No news of casualties has or will be held up.
 No man in the service has re- ceived ordefs not to write home; he has been urged, on the contrary, to keep IL touch with relatives and friends. Inc forces in Franch have at their disposal post cards giving general information in regard to health and the receipt of letters and parcels, which may be dis patched without payment of post age.
 Care is also taken to see that

Compressed Air al the Front.

Many of the moftafs employed today on the allied fronts are of the compressed air type, using a puff of air or gas instead of power to throw the shell into German trenches.
 Pfesent-day trench warfare has caused the pneumatic cannon idea to be developed after it had been laid aside for many years as im- practical. Aside from being silent and inexpensive, the pneumatic mortar is readily manipulated. | is used at ranges of from z5O tt ,OOO feet, and is said to be ex- ceedingly accurate.

Thrift Campaign Organized.

At meeting held in ,El Dorado last week called by c. H. Murphy chairman of the thrift stamp and war-savings certificate campaign for Union county, township chair men were appointed for the entire county. Those appointed for Lapile township were: w. A. Murphy, for Strong: T. K. Moore, for Lapile, and T. B. Weaver, for Huttig.
 There is no better way that par ents can instill the saving habit in their children than in buying them a thrift stamp to start toward sav- ing for war-savings certificate.
 If you have not already received phamplet explaining this manner of saving call at the postoffice for one. You not only teach the child to save but you teach it to be pa- triotic. The plan, however, does not stop with children but is most excellent thing for grown-ups. The investment pays 4 per cent compounded interest and is abso- lutely safe.

Income Tax Returns.

7 You won't have to figure out your own income tax all by your self hereafter. The government is going to send out men to help you It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sent into every county seat town, and a few of the large towns besides, to meet the people. Postmasters, bankers and newspapers will be able to tell you when the governments income tax man will be around, and where to find him. He will answer your questions, swear to the returns, take your money and remove the wrinkles from your brow. Returns of income for 1917 must be made between January l and March 1, 1918.
 The government recognizes, " Collector of Internal Revenue Jack Walker says, That many persons have had a good deal of difficulty in filling out income tax forms. It recognizes, too, that taxpayers liv- ing at points where the collector s office is not easily accessible find it hard to get proper instruction in the law. During January and Feb ruafy, when every married person living with wife or husband and having a net income of $2,OOO and every unmarried person not the head of family and having a net income of $l 900 for the year 1917, must make return of income on form prescribed, there will be hundreds in every community seeking light on the law, and helr in executing their returns. My own and every other collection district in the nation will be divided into sections. with the county as the unit, and a government. officer informed in the income tax law will be assigned to each section.
 
 He will spend hardly less than a week in each county. and in some counties longer time, very likely in the court house at the county seat. In due time my office will advise postmasters, bankers and newspapers stating when the offie- CT will be in each county and where
The Huttig news., 1917-12-22

he may be found. It will be unnec- essary for income tax payers to ask my office for forms on which to make their returns. The officer who visits their county will have them.
 It may be stated as matter of general information tha. net in- come is the remainder, after sub tracing expenses from the entire gross income. Personal, family or living expense is not expense in the meaning of the law, exemption being allowed to cover such ex- penses.
 The new exemptions of $1, ,OOO and $2,OOO will add tens of thous- ands to the number of income tax payers in this district, inasmuch as practically every farmer, mer- chant, tradesman. professional man and salaried employee, as well as large number of wage workers, will be required to make return ard pay tax.
 The law makes it the duty of tax payer to seek out the collector. Many people assume that if an in- come tax form is not sent, or a government officer does call, they are relieved from making report. This is decidedly in error. It is the other way around. The tax payer has to go to the government, if he don't do so within the time pre- scribed 6between January and March D he is violator of the law, and the government will go to him with it's penalties.

Professionalism 400 Years Old.

Last week the 4OOth anniversa- ry of the Protestant movement called the Reformation" was cele- brated by Protestants throughout the world. The movement was started by Martin Luther, a Ger man monk of the Roman Catholic church. On October 3l, 1517, he nailed to the door of the church at Wittenberg a sort of theological declaration of independence, called the Ninety five Theses. The theses objected to or protested against certain doctrines and prac- tices of the church authorities at Rome. A thesis is a statement which the one who makes it offers , to prove.
 Most of these thesis have now been forgotten; but the substance of them was that Luther claimed for himself and his followers the right of independent opinion and speaking, not to be subject to the decrees of the Church of Rome.
 The thesis were at once con- demned as heresy. Luther was summoned to Rome for discipline but refused to go. From this be- ginning the Protestant movement spread.

EXPERIMENTS FOR

PRELIMINARY MOVE s
Was Here Short While Ago, But
Made No Recommendations on
Account Of Ice In
PRELIMINARY MOVES

Various Keokuk citizens have made
complaints in the past about the ioca-
ton of the Keokuk Water Works COM
pany intake pipe In the forebay OF
Lake Keokuk. Some have contended
the pipe should be extended furthor
out into the lake.
The Keokuk Water Works COM
pany has Just completed the install
iation Of new apparatus In the plant
that assures q pure water supply TOT
Keokuk, and now has taken up the
matter of the position OF the intake
pipe and it il expected that this ques-
ton will be settled before long.
H. p. Letton, United States SAM
tary engineer was in Keokuk few
Gays ego and with Major Montgom-
cry Meigs, q. s. G. e. conducted some
experiments in the forebay to deter
mine the best location for an extern
sion If 1t Is needed. A point 26S feet
from the wall was tested. Nothing
definite could be recommended, how
ever, because of the ice.
Mr.. Letton will return to Keokuk
some time in February or March with
a specially fitted up pullman labora-
tory and will complete his expert
ments at that time. 1t is essential
that the pipe enter certain water cur
rents and the experiments will be for
the purpose of finding the best loca-
ton. It may be recommended that II
remain where 1t is at the present time.
At any rate, whatever recommends
ton is made by the government ON
ciaIs will be carried out by the water
works company, superintendent
Young said today.
The company has completed the In.
stallation OF loss of head and rate OF
flow gauges, which made for greater
efficiency at the plant Through this
arrangement it can be told how much
water is flowing through each indi-
yidual filter and also when any filter
needs attention. Other improve
ments under way or soon to be started
are the construction OF coagulant
house, the installation OF gravity
feeding tanks and chlorine gas equip
ment. hereafter chemicals will be
fed BY gravity instead OF wataer pres
sure. The new apparatus. which Is OF
the highest type developed. viii make
the local plant up to date and provide
a better and more efficient service.
The improvements are IN line with
recommendations of the United States
health service. When Mr.. Lection
was here he was very much pleased
with the improvements being made.
