Serious complaint is being made
by residents of the city in regard tc
the placing of advertising programs
and hand-bills in the mail boxes at
their homes. In many instances the
boxes have been stuffed so full of
advertising sheets that it has been
impossible to get mail INFO them it
is said. People all over the city are
the practice and claims
that if it is not stopped an appea.
will be made to the city council and
ask that an ordinance be passed to
prevent it. They say that they do
not erect mail boxes for such use
and neither do they want thcir porch
es and front yards Uttered up with
advertising bills, and propose to take
the necessary steps to see that the
practice is discontinued.

Produce

The feature OF the Thursday pro-
duce market was sharp break in
poultry prices. This market has been
relatively high for some time and
this has attracted shipments this way
which usually go elsewhere. on tc-
count OF an excellent demand the
market has stood up under some
pressure from receipts. hut IL is sud
denly discovered that the demand is
filled up and the market is full OF
poultry with no place to put A. To
some extent the same condition pre-
walls In veal calves. the demand hav-
Ing dropped or almost over night.
The weather Is against the market In
more ways than one. but as whole
there was steady feeling I'm spite

INCOME TAX.

A Washington Dispatch says that in
come tax forms without many Of the
inqusatorial features Of those used under
the old law are being prepared for the
millions Of persons who will pay taxes on
incomes under $4,000.
The internal revenue commissioner is
reported as insisting that the new form
contain few questions and be made as
simple as possible At the same time
the statement says that for persons with
incomes Of more than $4,000 a more COM
plicated form will be adopted. Why should
there be? Why should not the forms be
simple and comprehensive for all? The
purpose Of the law is, or should be, TO
tax the actual income Of the persons LA
bic to pay it.
AS regards salaries, it is easy and it
should be easy as regards income from
investments, for the tax should be on the
actual amount the person receives for
his own use from the investment But
some Of the questions are mystfying so
that 1t is often difficult for the average
man to make out his return without
consulting some one who has made a
special study Of the law. The owner Of
a house, for instance, should be taxed on
the actual net income he receives from
the house and so with other investments.
This should be easily told and understood.
There will be a very large number Of
new income tax payers and the task Of
filling out the blanks should not be rem
dered difficult by unnecessary questions

TheChristmGsBird

n OASTED swan was the Christmas
piece de resistance in Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
The peacock, and the peacock in its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
ais Virginian wars, came home to tell
The amazed English folk Of the bird
hat he saw parading the new world
forests. EXACTLY like a proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was In it's glory
It Christmnstide it's plumage was gen.
orally restored to the roasted bird and
It's beak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and a
strip of cotton, saturated with spirit,
vet alight in fits beak-a relic possibly,
With the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, Of the fire worship Of
pagan days. A lady Of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the bRnqueting hall.
In the days Of tournaments It was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, swors their Oaths Of
chivalry and valor. The last record Of
