Aviators Crave Sugar After Race With
Death.

John M. Parker, Food Admin
istrator for louisiana used an
illustration in some of his recent
speeches which points a moral
that the United States Food Adj |
ministration is eager to impress
and emphasize. Il
The narrative is a quotation
from a letter home written by Z
Louisiana hero who has already
won his ace as an aviator i41
France. Any body who has read
anything about the war apprecir
ates the rigor as well as the dan
ger and daring of the aviation
service. Those who shivered at
the touch of frost can scarcely
imagine the chill of the upper
air, but no matter how cold it ID
the flyer must not only keep go
ing but fighting at the same time
for it is always his life or that d
his foe, with no escape for one q
the two. After such a ride AMI
race with death the physical craf
wing for stimulent is acute. The
most welcome refreshment to the
aviator is a bit of sugar, and it i

and so difficult toobtain unframed

of the car shortage. Three car
loads from Louisiana took

'culties and delays of shipping,
and it can be seen how hard it is
to land sugar from this country
in France. Yet the sugar must
all come from this country, the
war stopping manufacturing
abroad.
The American people are loyal
to their country and devoted to
their soldiers and to the Allies
fighting for them. They would
not knowingly consent to send
ing their boys thousands of miles
to face and fight a ruthless enc
my, and then stab their defend
ers in the back by taking the food
away from the boys. Candy.
biscuits, beafsteak, butter, and
similar foods would not taste as
good with that thought in mind.
But that thought must be kept
in mind, and is basic in the plea
of the Food Administration to
eat and waste less and save more
of wheat, meat, sugar and fats,
using substitutes which cannot
be shipped, and shipping the foods
which the soldiers and starving
must have.
Education is the need of the
hour. The Press is doing its
share. The Food Admin. traitor
suggests that the schools swing
in the line. Teaching the child
rem the reasons for conservation
will spread the knowledge to thu
homes. The churches, organized

Plan of ollecting the Income Tax.

New Orleans, La, Lee. 10.
Collector of Internal Revenue j.
Y. Fauntleroy states that Hon.
Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, has deter
mined upon the following plan
of securing returns under the In
come Tax Law.
Early in January a corps OF
inspectors will be stationed in
: the largest cities OF the State,
whose duty it will be to post the
public concerning the new laws.
Every citizen subject to make re-
turns will be expected to get in
touch with these officials. and Sc
cure from them the necessary
blank forms. If possible. it is
planned to have income tax dep
uty collectors in every parish IN
the State, whose itinerary will
be duly published. Postmasters,
banks and newspapers will be
definitely informed in this regard,
and will be a source Of informa-
ton to the public. The internal
revenue official will inform the
public concerning the new law.
distribute and receive returns.
and assist as much as possible in
the preparation thereof. Re-
turns must be made between
January / and March l, 1918.
The government recognizes
that many persons will expert
ence good deal of difficulty in
filling out the income tax forms,
and also that taxpayers residing
away from cities in which collec-
tors offices are located have diff
fculty to get proper instruction
jconcerning the law. When it is
nemembered that every married
~ ple. whose joint net income
hunts.ta 81 GOO. and every sins
gle person havingsa nef income
of $1,oe0, 1or the ycai 1917, is
subject to income tax, and must
make return thereof, it will be
seen that there will be hundreds
of persons in every parish seek
ing light on the law and assist
ance in the execution of their re-
turns.
These are the reasons that
prompt the Commissioner to un-
dertake the campaign above out
lined. At this time it is not
practicable to go into further de-
tail, except to state that due
publicity will be given prior to
the arrival of the inspector OF
the place in which he will estab-
lish his Office and the number OF
DAYS he viii remain III d given
community.
AS yet the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue has been un-
able to supply the blank forms
on which to make the returns,
but it is expected that by the
first of January a full supply will
be received Dy Co iecg0r Fauntle
roy, which in turn will be SEN

will distribute the returns in per
