The annual play by the Junior class
of the high school was given Friday
evening at the Strand theatre which
was filled to its capacity by an audi
ence that was thoroughly pleased
with the play and the specialties be-
tween acts. The play "Her Hus-
bands Wife" is comedy filled with
rich humor which kept the audience
in a roar Of laughter The production
was under the direction of Miss Car
olyn Barber, English instructor of
the high school, who proved again her
marked ability in this line. The
scene of the play is a fashionable
home at Saratoga. Mrs. Irene Ran
dolph. n vpochondrial wife, believing
she is to die soon, picks out success
sor for herself but later becoming
jealous changes her mind, the situa-
tions placing all the characters in en-
barrassing positions at times but fl
nally all working out happily. Miss
Helen Hattson took the part of the
wife showing unmistakable ability in
the difficult role. Miss Winnifred
Whitmore was charming as the victim
of the marriage plot, Thomas E. Dew
ey as the bachelor uncle to whom
they all tell their troubles brought
out the humor of the situations to the
great satisfaction of the hearers.
Clayton Cook as the husband was Pc
culiarly fitted for the embarrassing
position the plot places him in. John
Kelly as the wife's brother display
ed spirit and character as the real
lover who thinks he is being imposed
on, Ethel Cover as maid added much
to the humor by her clover apprecia-
Otion of her part.
A quartette of Dale Swartzmiller,
Herbert Blachford, Loren Ross and
Thomas Dewey sang, receiving hearty
encores and Paul Eckerle, pianist,
was also recalled. Miss Elsie Whipple
accompanied the quartette on the
piano. The quartette was under the
instruction of Miss 7, uis Wordep,
supervisor of music. The high school
orchestra Of eight pieces took its place
like veterans and is splendid addi-
ton to the high school activities.
The sale of tickets amounted to
nearly $240 and portion of the pro-
fits is to pay the high schools pledge
to the Y. M. G. A. war fund. The
play was managed, staged and pro-
duced entirely by juniors including
Lloyd Waugh as business manager;
Theodore Striker as stage manager;
property manager, Loren Ross; adver-
tising manager, Leon Willoughby, as
sisted by Elvin Harryman.

BUSINESS "TEN DE-
MANDMENTS"

Up in Canada there is a successful
business concern that expects, as most
successful concerns do, that every
employe shall do his full duty. To as
sist him in the task that concern
places conspicuously before him these
"Ten Demandments."
l. Don't lie. 1t waste my time and
yours. I am sure to catch you IN the
end and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock.
A long days work makes long day
short; and short days work makes
my face long.
3. Give me more than expect and
will give you more than you expect.
l can afford to increase your pay if
you increase my profits.
A. You owe so much to yourself
you cannot afford to owe anybody
else. Keep out of debt or keep out of
my shop.
5. Dishonesty is never an acci-
dent. Good men, like good women,
never see temptation when they meet
it.
6. Mind your own business and in
time you'll have business of your
own to mind.
Z. Don't do anything here which
hurts Jour self respect. An employe
who is willing to steal for me is will
ing to steal from me.
8. 1t is none of my business what
you do at night. But if dissipation
affects what you do the next day, and
you do half as much as I demand,
you'll last half as long as you hoped.
8. Don't tell me what I'd like to
hear. / don't want valet to my
varity, but one for my dollars.
10. Don't kick if kick. If you're
worth while correcting you're worth
while keeping. l don't waste time
cutting specks out of rotton apples.

hours as do the county officers.

swear you to the return, take your

The government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue Brady says,
that many persons experience good
deal of difficulty liz filling ont income

taxpayers resident at points where
collectors offices are not easily acces
sible find it hard to get proper instruc
tions in the law Next year, when
every married person living with wife
or husband and having net income
of $1,000, and every unmarried person
not the head of a family and having a
net income of $1,000 for the year 1917
must make return of income on the
prescribed form, there will be hundreds
in every community seeking light on
the law, and help in executing their
returns. This and every other collec-
tion district in the nation will be
divided into districts. with the county
as the unit, and government officer
informed in the income tax assigned
to each district. He will spend
from to days in each county, very
likely in the court house in the county
seat town. In cities where there are
collector branch offices, he will be there
and in other cities possibly lat the city
hall. My Office will in due time advise
postmasters and bankers and send out
notices to newspapers stating when the
collector will be in each county. 1t
will be unnecessary for prospective
taxpayers to ask my Office for forms on
which to make returns The officer
who visits their county will have a
supply and will leave some with the
postmaster and probably with local
bankers.
1T may be stated that net income Is
the remainder after subtracting expen-
ses from gross income. Personal, fami-

the meaning of the law, the exemption
covering such expenses. The new ex.

and salary worker will be required to
make return and pay tex. The law re-
quires the taxpayer to seek out the col
