SECRETARY LANES ASSISTANT MAKES RULING
 IN ACCORD WITH COMMON SENSE.

There is great rejoicing throughout Yuma Valley over the receipt of ruling from Assistant Secretary of the h. C. Bradley stating that an equivalent reduction will be made to those who have prior that date Octo Der 6) filed water right applications the S75 rate' When Secretary Lane originally announced the costs of the Yuma Valley unit fixing those costs $5 per acre. urged every farmer the valley file right appli- caon assuring him should the ultimately be reduced he would receive equivalent reducton-n other words that the suit of the Uater Users Association against the government should be decided against the that those who had accepted the $5 per charge would only have pay the amount awarded by the supreme court But many of my friends took issue with and allowed them selves imagine that only trying stick them for the entire amount originally assessed against them.
 It S therefore, most pleasing to personally to know that the interior department through Assistant Secretary Bradley has ruled in exact accord with my original entons This ruling reached Yuma late for last weeks issue o the Sentinel but at this late date trust every farmer in the valley who has already done will at call Project Manager Schecht and talk the matter over, for may be too late to make your water right application and thereby automatically have your payment string for 20 years instead of being compelled pay them in half that time. The project manager has nothing but the kndest feelings for the farmers and land of Yuma Project and he will naturally strain every point that the law will permit to help the project citizens He devotng his best energies to upbuidng the project and in the community is more pleased than he that the department has definitely made ruling the mpor question Here the last word from the de- partment:

CARYVILLE.

Caryvil1e, Dec. 24.-When the mail
train came rolling into Caryviue last
Saturday evening and was about to
stop in front of the L. & N. depot,
a pair Of fine mules hitched to a
wagon in front of the commissary of
Henderson Waits Lumber Company,
the negro driver having left the team
and was in the commissary at the
time, quietly left their standing place
and in their attempt to cross the
railroad track the locomotive struck
the team killing both mules and ut
terly demolishing the wagon. This
team and outfit, the property of
one of the finest in Florida and the
loss will amount to not less than
$4,000.
Big Mill Improved.
Col. G. 0. Waits. the polite and
affable manager of the Henderson
Waits Lumber Co., at Caryville went
to Pensacola recently on business
connected with the many changes
from the old time saw mill to the new
plant. under most systematic con-
struction. The new mill will repre-
sent capacity for saving lumber
which will reach at least 10000 feet
daily. The mechanics no Wen
gagged have utterly demolished the
old frame work and the debris is
daily passing into fire. The Swele-
ton Of days gone by only stands to
be viewed by few of the older in
habitants of Caryville, who knew the
saw mill days of Wittich-Sanford
and others.

MEN OF SERVICE
Be ENTERTAINED
BY PEhsACOL|ANs

This Christmas will be merry one
for the men of the army and navy
stationed here, if the efforts of Pen
sacolians count for anything, for
nothing has been spared to entertain
the men, and drive away homesick-
ness.
The main event as far as the city's
entertainment is concerned will take
place at six o'clock this afternoon
in the Armory Hall. when the Army
and Navy Life Activities Committee
will give musical and dramatic pro-
gra, a dance, and serve refreshments.
This entertainment has been made
possible through the cooperation OF
Pensacolians in donating cakes, pies,
and candy. Enough for hundreds OF
the men has been pledged, and the
tables will be arranged along the
sides of the lower corridor, lining the
hallway from the entrance to the
stairway in the rear.
Ladies will be in charge of the
tables, laden with the good things to
eat, and there is absolutely no charge
| for the men Of the service. From
beginning to end the entertainment

At the end of the long line Of
tables is the stairway leading TO the
upper floor, where a great Christmas
tree has been erected, and the vast
Armory decorated with evergreens.
The tree is deliberately decorated,
| and blaze of light.
At the other end of the Armory is
a small stage wherein, at 1880
o'clock, a cast of local players will
present "The Seven Gifts a Christ

cannot attend, some of the cake and
candy will be sent to them.

CANDLES |LLUM|NE
REOCROSSSYMBOLS

Symbolic, indeed, was the general
observance in Pensacola last night of
placing candles in windows behind
the Red Cross service flags. To
passers-by it appeared that in every
home there lived member of the
great organization. And the num-
bers of small crosses around the
large cross were as varied as the
size of the families they repre-
scented.
Here on one side of the street was
a flag, the one great cross shining
brightly. Most probably, if the
stranger looked closely through the
dusk, another service flag, with a
star instead of a cross, flottered
over the dor step.
Perchance, on the other side of the
street, the patch Of light on the porch
showed the white margin of the flag
filled with the shadows of little
crosses. Numbers didn't matter, it
was the spirit that counted.
And in millions of homes through
the twilight of Christmas eve, the
Red Cross shone in the darkness,
throwing its ray Of light over a
war-torn world, even as Americas
torch of Liberty, and the Star of
Bethlehem throw theirs.

SPECIAL DEPUTY
TO COME AFTER
THE INCOME TAX

In a communication received by
The Journal, Collector of Interna
Revenue James NJ. Cathcart an
nounces that federal income tar
officer will be sent into this county
! in the month of January. and will be
here until February 16. He will have
his office in federal building in Pen
sacola and will be there every day
ready and willing to help persons
subject to the income tax make out
returns without any cost to them fol
his services.
How many income-tax payers will
there be in Escambia County. II
you can guess how many married
persons living with wife or husband
will have net incomes of $4,000 OF
ever and how many unmarried per-
sons will have net incomes Of $1,000
The Collector of Internal Revenue
estimates that there will be 1850 tax
payers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March 1,
1918. Because a good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how to make out their returns,
the government is sending in this ex-
pert to do it for them. But the duty
IS on the taxpayer to make himself
known to tie government. If he
doesn't make his return as required
before March 1, 1918, he may have
to pay penalty ranging from $50
to $1,000, pay fine or go to jail
So If you don want to take chances
on going to Jail. you better call on
the income tax man. If you are not
sure about being subject to the tax,
better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax man
or not, you must make return if sub
ject to tax.
Of coure, persons resident in other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man who will
be at Pensacola.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be reaoy
with the figures when the expert ar
rlves. Expenses, however, don't mean
family expenses, money used to paw
off the principal of a debt -ew ma
chinery, buildings, or anything like
that. They mean what you spend in
making your money-interest, taxes
paid, hired help, ars~1t paid for
goods sold, seed, stock bought for
feeding. rent Except for your dwell
lng)' etc. Income includes about
every dollar you get.
