Complaint Made About Coal
Rates.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 1O.-The
Kentucky Railroad Commission list
ened to two complaints against COM
mon carriers at their session at the
Sselbach to-day.
Robert A. Cook, of Hopkinsville,
chairman Of the Board of Control.
which has charge of the eleemosyna-
ry institutions of the State, filed pro-
test against the freight rate on coal
from the Western Kentucky fields to
the asylum at Lakeland. The rate is
$3.50. The boards complaint is baS-
ed on the fact that the rate per ton on
coal from the point of origin at Earl
iHgton and jacksonville to Louisville, a
distance of more than 200 miles, is 80
cents, while from Louisville to Lake
land, eleven miles, the rate is 70
cents.
Because of the imperfections in the
drawing of the boards petition, John
c Duffy, Assistant Attorney General,
was given until o'clock when he i'll
ed substitrt, petition with the board
asking for reasonable rate from the
mines to Lakeland and a reasonable
rate from Louisville to Lakeland.
/ Chairman Laurence B. Finn said that
he wanted the case hurried, because
if there is any relief to be granted in
&c al cases it should be done before
winter arrives.

legend Of H.nom.n,. Stone.

Numerous large powders in Eng
land as well as In this country have
received the name OF the hangman's
stone. as a result Of legend which
attaches much the same story to each.
There were two fiends In the parish Of
Foremark. In Derbyshire, called the
Great and the Little Hangman's Stone,
from the boulders which they con-
tanned. The former was five or six feet
high. with an indentation running
across the top. This peculiar mark
was explained by tradition. as follows
Once upon a time a thief. having
stolen a sheep. placed his booty on the
top of the stone while he rested. but
1t slipped on and strangled the man
with the rope which tied the sheep TO
his back. the indentation being made
by the friction OF the rope passing
back and forth In the struggles OF the
dying man TO extricate himself.

Shark Fishing Arabian Industry.

Shark fishing is quite an industry
among the Arab fishermen of Alden.
The best grounds are between Alden
and Shukra, an Arabian port about
eleven miles east of Alden, writes Con
sui Southland from Alden, Arabia. There
are also good shark fishing grounds at
Makalla, another Arabian port some
distance beyond Shukra. Shark fisher
men also have good luck at most places
along the British Somallland coast.
The usual fishing vessel is the typical
Arab sailing dhow. Both nets and
hooks are used in fishing. The nets
are very strongly woven, the best ones
coming from the Persian Gulf. and are
from 100 to $50 feet In length and
about % feet wide. Sharks from 3 to
feet in length are usually caught In
the nets, while hooks are used for the
capture OF larger sizes. Fishing with
hooks Is often done from small boats
and requires considerable courage. as
a large fish will sometimes overturn
the boat and throw the occupants into
the water. where they have more than
an even chance Of being attacked by
other sharks.

"'Of course continued Mrs. Red
Winged, 1t would not be surprising II
you wondered If I really and truly
meant what I said, for so often we
parrots get into the shocking habit of
copying what anyone may say. We
don't stop to consider at all whether
we mean 1t or not. We Just say 1t, and
so we have gained the reputation Of
just talking without a great deal Of
sense-copying others who don't say
such sensible things to US always
"True, true said Mrs. Yellow
Winged. But as you do mean what
you just said, l am anxious to know
why you think some folks are so alb
surd.'
"'For this reason, my dear. You
see a great many people take baths
at one time, and then, at quite another
time altogether, they take their drinks
of water. They don't save time as we
do. and yet they are always rushing
around as if they were trying to catch
up with the time that they have
lost
"What You say is absolutely cor

"'Now, you take our cousins who
live In peoples houses said Mrs. Red
Winged, they never get over that SEN

may hear the rain on a tin roof and
they spread their wings all In readi-

tin roof keeps the water from falling

dren until they become 18 years of
age.
These payments range from $25 for

tally disabled the Government will
make a fixed monthly payment to

a nurse or attendant he will be given
up to $40 additional. Should he lose
both feet, both hands, or both eyes,
or be permanently bedridden, he will
be paid $100 a month, whether he is
a bachelor or married.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE
At Seven O'clock Christmas Eve

The Community Christmas Service
has become a custom in Wauseon and
this year it is the hope and plan to
have a better and more impressive
program than ever. Probably this
community has never had a better
opportunity to celebrate Christmas
with more of the real Christmas
spirit than this year, for the real
Christmas spirit requires a giving,
not receiving, attitude; it requires
that we serve rather than be served
Never has the call to service-to sac
rifcing service-been so universal and
so urgent. We rejoice that the Great
Author of Christmas came into the
world to give, to serve, to sacrifice.
That was his life work and his mes
sage to the world. In doing such
work and in living such life we find
our greatest joy. To do such work
and to live such a life is the great
call and need Of the hour. We may
indeed rejoice that we have the op-
portunity to answer this call; that we
can do something for some one else;
that we can help relieve those in dis
tress by feeding and clothing them
and by binding up their wounds. Such
is the real Christmas spirit.
The great Red Cross drive will
reach it's close and it's climax on
Christmas eve. The Red Cross spirit
and the Christmas spirit are close
kin. Why not unite them?
There will be a big tree in the
middle of the street in front of the
Arcade. The T. & 1. has again
agreed to illuminate it. Around this
tree the community will gather; that

christmas

Blest day which aye reminds u.s. year by year,
What it's to be man; to curb and spurn
The tyrant in US; that ignobler self
Which owns no good save ease, no i'll save pain,
No purpose save it's share in that wild war
In which through countless ages living things
Compete in internecine greed!
While ever out of the eternal heavens
Looks patient down the great, magnanimous God,
Who, Maker of all worlds, did sacrifice
All to Himself? Nay, but Himself to One;
Who taught mankind on that great Christmas Day
What twas to be man: to give, not take;
To serve, not rule; to nourish, not devour;
To help not crush if need, to die, not live.

INCOME TAX
Persons With Incomes of $1,000, if
Single, or $4,000, if married, Must
Make Income Tax Returns-Respon-
sibility for Making Returns Placed
Upon the Taxpayers.

The Government has inaugurated a |
new system to make it easier for all
taxpayers to make up their income tax
returns.
"The Government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue Niles said
today, "that many persons experience
a great deal of difficulty in filling out
income tax FORMS" Since, next year,
every married person living with wife
or husband and having net income
of $4,000 and every unmarried person
not the head of family and having a
net income of $1,000 for the year
1917 must make return of income on
the form prescribed, there will be
hundreds in every community seeking
light on the law, and help in execut-
ing their returns. My own and every
other collection district in the nation
will be divided into districts, with
the county as the unit, and govern
ment officer informed in the income
tax, assigned to each district. He
will spend hardly less than week in
each county, and in some counties a
longer time, very likely in the court
/ house at the county seat town. In
cities where there are collectors
branch offices, he will be there, and
in other cities possibly at the city
hall. My office will in due time ad-
wise postmasters and bankers and
send out notices to the newspapers
stating when the officer will be in
each county. It 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 them.
Returns must be filed not later
than March /, 1918.
at may be stated as a matter of
! general information that met income
is the remainder after subtracting
expenses from gross income. Per-
sonal, family or living expense is not
expense within the meaning of the
law, the exemption being allowed to
! cover such expenses.
/ "The new exemptions of 1000 and
$4,000 will add tens of thousands to
the number of income tax payers in
this district, inasmuch as practically
every farmer, merchant, tradsman,
professional man, and salary worker,
and a great many wage workers will
| be required to make return and pay
tax.
"The law makes it the duty of the
taxpayer to seek out the collector.
Many people assume that if an in
come tax form is not sent, or a gov
ernment officer does not call, they
are relieved from making report.
This is decidedly in error. 1t is the
other way around. The taxpayer has
to go to the government, and if he
does not do so within the time pre-
scribed, he is violator of the law,
and subject to the penalties provided
by law"

age who is suffering from any physi-

duty in army service, and of this num-
Der 1900 are in France.
