Farmers Doing Their Bit

Phoenix, Arizona, December 27, 1917. That the farmers of Arizona have periodically res bonded to the Nations call for an increased acreage of winter wheat, is shown by the crop re- port issued at Phoenix recently. Reports made to the Bureau of Crop Estimates December l indi- cate that 44.000 acres were planted in the State this year. which compares with 37,000 acres last year. In some count ies the drought made it difficult fully to carry out the planting program.
 The condition of the crop Dec ember 1 was below the average, due to the dry weather. The condition is reported at ST per cent, the six-year average.

Income Tax Reports


 IA, 1917. You won't have tC
 figure out your own income tax
 all by yourself hereafter. The
 government is going to send out
 men to help you. It will be ur
 to you to hunt up these men,
 who will be sent into every coun-
 ty seat town, and some other
 towns besides, to meet the peo-
 pie. Postmasters, bankers and
 newspapers will be able to tell
 you when the governments in-
 come tax man will be around, and
 where to find him. He will answer your questions, swear you to the return, take your
 money, and remove the wrinkles from your brow: Returns of in- come for 1917 must be made be- tween January l and March l. 1918.
 ''The Government recogni- zes", Collector of Internal Re venue Lewis T. Carpenter said today, that many persons ex- perience a good deal of difficulty in filling out income tax forms. It recognizes too, that taxpayers resident at points where collec- tors offices are not easily acces- aible find ir hard to get proper instruction in the law. Next year, when every married per son living With wife or husband and having a ne5 income of $1.- 900, and every unmarried person not the head of a family and having a net income of S1, 900 for the year 1917 must make re- turn of income on the form pres cribed, there will be hundreds in every community seeking light on the law, and help in ex- ecutlng their returns. My own and every other collection dis tricts, with the county as the unit. and a government officer informed in the income tax as- signed by each district. He will spend hardly less than a week in each county. and in some coun- ties q longer tiIhts. 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 advise postmasters and bankers and send out notices to the newspap- CTS stating when the officer will be in each county. It will be for prospective tax payers to ask my office for forms on which to make returns. The officer who visits their county will have them.
 Tt may be stated as a matter of general information that net income is the remainder after subtracting expenses from gross income. Personal, family or liv- ing expense is not expense in the meaning of the Jaw, the ex- being allowed to cover such expenses.
 The new exemptions of $1, GOO and $2,000 will add tens of thousands to the number of in- come taxpayers in this district. inasmuch as practically every farmer, merchant, tradesman, 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 col Iector. Many people assume that if the income tax form is not sent, or a government officer does not call. they are relieved from making report. This is decidedly in error. It is the other way round. The taxpayer has to go to the government and if he doesen't within the time prescribed. he is a violator of the law, and the government will go to him with it's penal ties."

provinces that gave Germany an opportunity to become a naval power.
 Murder is dirty work, but takes a Hohenzollern to make a way and get by.
 Your opportunity was at hand: you set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing; your crimeon Belgium caused much joy. It was the beginning. a perfect foundation of a perfect hell on earth, the destruction of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of arts was hailed with joy in the internal regions.
 You made war on friends and foe alike, and the murder of civ ilians showed my teachings to- ward neutral nations hastened universal upheaYal, the thing 1 most desired.
 Your undersea warfare is master stroke, from the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusi- tanla you show no favorites; as a war Lord you stand supreme, for you have no mercy; you have no consideration for the baby clinging to it's mothers breast as they both go down into the deep together, only to be torn apart and IeisureIy devoured by sharks down among the corals.
 1 have strolled over the battle fields of Belgium and France. 1 have seen your hand of destruc- tion everywhere; it's all your work, superfend that 1 have made you.
 I have seen the field of Poland, now a wilderness fit for prowling beasts only; no merry children in Poland now they all succumb- ed to frost and starvation-l drifted down into Galacia. where formerly Jews and Gentiles lived happily together; 1 found but ruins and ashes; I felt a curious pride in my pupil, for it was all above my expectations.
 was in Belgium when you drove the peaceful population before you like cattle into slavery; you separated man and wife and forced them to hard labor in trenches. 1 have seen the most fiendish rape commit teed upon young women and those who were forced into ma ternlty were cursing the father of their off-springs and I began to wonder if my own inferno was really up to date.
 You have taken millions of dollars from innocent victims and called it indemnity; you have lived on the fat of the land you have usurped and sent the real owners away to starvation.
 You have strayed away from legalized war methods and in- troduced a code of your own. You have killed and robbed the people of friendly nations and destroyed their property. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a buffer of the highest magnitude. You are a part of mine and yet you pose as the personal friend of God.
 An. Wilhelm. you are a won der! You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for coming generations.
 I was amazed when I saw you form partnership with the inn possible Turk, the chronic killer of Christians, and you a devout worshiper in t h e Lutheran Church. I confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times.
 A Mahometan army, command ed by German officers. assisting an ether in massacreing Christ ians is a new line of warfare.
 When a Prussian officer can witness a nude woman being disembowled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder by one cut of his saber, and calmly stand by and see a house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you. but have been ex- tended to the whole German

 The Internal Region,
 1917. T o Wilhelm VonHohenzollern,
 King of Prussia. Emperor of
 all Germany and Envoy Extra
 ordinary of Almighty God: My Dear Wilhelm:
 1 can call you by that familiar name, for I have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know.
 From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your mothers womb 1 have shaped your destiny for my own pur- poses.
 In the day of Rome I created a rough-neck known in history as Nero; he was a vulgar chara- cter and suited my purpose at that particular time. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient supercriminal was need ed, and as 1 know the Hohen- zollern blood 1 picked you as my special lntrument to place on earth an annex to hell.
 I gave you abnormal ambition. likewise an oYersupply of ego tism, that you might not dis cover your own failings; 1 twist ed your mind to that of a mad man with certain normal tenden- cies to carry you by most dan gerous character placed i n power; gave you might to sway your people.
 I am responsible for the de- formed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embitters your life and destroys all noble impulses that might otherwise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity.
 I placed in your mind a deep hatred of all thing English, for of all nations an earth I hate England most; wherever Eng land plants her flag she brings order out of choas and the hated cross follows the Union Jack; under her rule wild tribes be- come tillers of the soil and in due time practical citizens; she is the great civilizer of the globe and 1 hate her.
 I Iplanted in your soul a cruel hatred for your mother because she was English. and left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flame 1 had kindled. Recent history proves how well your work was done. It broke your royal mothers heart, but 1 have gained my purpose.
 The inherited disease of the HohenzolIerns killed your father, just as it will kill you. and you became the ruler of Germany and tool of mine sooner than 1 expected.
 To assist you and further has ten my work 1 sent you three evil spirits, Nietssche, Treits- chke and later Bernhardi, whose teachings infamed the youth of Germany, who in good time would be willing and loyal sub jects and eager to spill their blood and pull your chestnuts. yours and mine; the spell has been perfect.
 You cast your ambitious eyes toward t h e Mediterranean, Egypt. India and the Dardanel- les, and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the ambi- tious archduke and his more am bilious wife stood in your way.
 It was then that l sowed the seed in your heart that blossom ed into the assassination of the duke and his wife and all hell

HoIbrook Boy in EneIand

| rom VIII Lee, Jf., WIlO was in the English Channel, aboard a U. s. torpedo boat when it was written. The letter bears the date of Dec. 8, 1917, and was received a few days ago by his mother in Holbrook. It follows:
 In England,
 Dec: 8, 1917. My dear mother:
 Have just come in sight of land so as 1 have a few minutes before 1 have to go to work will write you. 1 am all right and expect will be here until after the war is over. I will be aboard a torpedo boat. 1 have seen several of them but was never on one. 1 think it will be great the way they get up and move, they remind one of a grey hound they are so fast, but my god how they do roll around. Believe me 1 will be a sea going sailor when 1 leave here. And will also be able to tell how it was all settled, if 1 do come back, for these little boats are at the front and see it all. They are we'll armed and run 50 miles per hour, their only trouble is that they are so small that in a sea 1t is a test to come through. 1 have seen some of them nearly swamped and it looked at times that they would be sunk when the big waves was washing the deck of a battle ship or big oil carrier, then to think of gong in side of one of them looks like sure adven- ture, for they are only a little bigger than a life boat, and some times they would be buried 10 or 12 feet be- meath the waves. Well ma ma l came across and got sea sick a bit, and sometimes the boat was roll ing until the dishes would not stay in their pens. We have railings about 2 inches high around the tables and about six inches high around the stove to hold the cooking utensils on. We had a great trip with trouble by submarines, sank two and was not hit by any. But was called to orders several times and ordered to sleep witt our life preservers on us. 1 do not know where I will be stationed yet but will let you know as soon as l l can so in about a week you will hear from me again pro- viding everything is alright. I certainly did use the things you sent me as it was awful cold all the way across. We came in sight of land this morning, and will land to- day about 100 p. m.
 Well mama dear I am a long long ways from home now, and it takes a long time for mail to go to you from here so don't worry about me if you don't get letters as regular as you should for I will be on the water nearly all the time and won't be able to write when l want to. But 1 will
