county owes it to his whole communi,

county owes it to his whole communi-
ty to know all he can about all the
efforts for the public good. 1t should
be the one purpose of every citizen
to shoulder his part of the burden and
face straight ahead when the little he
can do can be weighed in the total
summing up for good. That idea ought
to prevail in all the business avenues,
in all the churches and the schools.
Our lots are cast with our fellows
here. Our fortunes are the furtunes
of our neighbors. Our good is the
good of all.
We are going now at pace the
laggard cannot keep. We accomplish
one good thing today and move on to
another tomorrow. The citizen who
balks for political difference of the
past, or jealousy he cannot shake, is
losing his place. He is striking at
his own usefulness and eventually his
farewell will be said so family that
even his next door neighbor will not
know when he wraps the drapery
of his couch about him."

Crops in Crisp county are fast de-

OUT WITH THE LAGGoOD.

w WI GFNONOSS'
An old, old failing among us that
comes from some inexplicable source
hobs up now and then to the hurt
of the community and when it is all
over, everybody is regretful. Occa-
sionally a progressive citizen starts
to accomplish something and gets into
difficulties at the very start. Some
body looks for his selfish aims. Some
body with pure cussedness in his mar
row gets hold and pulls back with
all his might. At least half of those
who happen not to be taken into the
confidence of the movement uncon-
sciously let petty jealousies get into
their system and any effort for good
that escapes the stones that are
thrown is worthy to be put down as
really great accomplishment
The spirit is all wrong. Loyalty to
the community, loyalty to the common
good everywhere, broad-minded lib
erality, and a love of progress and ad-
vancement create an atmosphere in
which all god movements will thrive.
1t is hard enough for the progressive
citizen to accomplish any good, even
with the encouragement of his fellows
on all sides. That ought to be re-
membered by every person who would
entertain a jealous attitude towards
the man who is really alive.
Let us refer for a moment to one of
the big modern lessons in the history
Of men and affairs. In the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 Germany smash
ed France at every turn, captured
Paris, annexed two provinces and
compelled the payment of billion
dollars indemnity Germany's entire
loss was $4,000 dead and $1,000
wounded and disabled France lost
900 dead and had $4,000 wounded
and disabled. France had an enormous
war cost and the billion dollars to
pay in gold besides. Why this ire
mendcus difference?
The secret of it lay in the single
ness OF purpose of the German people
and the woeful absence of this thing
in France The French suddenly found
all their governmental departments
saturated with politics. Jealousies
were rampant and there was no such
thing as unity of purpose. AS nation
France learned her lesson at fear
full cost, but she snapped politics and
internal jealousies for national
loyalty and she is now winning the
admiration of the civilized world
while she is preserving her national
integrity and her free government
from her enemy.
In cur own local community the eff
feet OF unity of purpose is much the
same as it was in Germany in 1870.
1t is still the SINE here as in France.
Nobody believed France could stop
Germany after the terrible drive
through Belgium but the battle Of the
Marine was a terrible and effective an
swer France did stop Germany.
Personal and political jealousies de-
stroy good purposes, eliminate com
munity advancement, stifle individual
effort and polute the community at
mosphcre so that nothing good can be
accomplished in the name of the com
munity. This doesn't happen to be
so for today alone. 1t has been true
of men throughout the varions stages
of advancement everywhere.

INCOME TAX OFFICER TO VISIT
MELLETTE COUNTY.

James Cofrey, OF Aberdeen, S. ID.
| Collector Of Internal Revenue for the
| district Of North and South Dakota
announces that an income tax officer
will arrive in White River on the
morning Of February 20th and may be
found by all persons of this vicinity
who seek information in regard to
making out their government indivi-
dual and corporation income tax re-
turns, in the court house, during
business hours every day until the
evening of February Is.
The sole purpose of the government
In sending this man, is to be helpful
to all persons who are required to
make return OF their income. He
will welcome the opportunity to give
you all the information at his dispos-
al, and to actually help to make the
return without any expense to you.
The War Revenue Law passed 10y
the Congress October 3, 1917 required
every married person living with wife
or husband to pay tax to the govern
ment on that portion Of that person S
net income that exceeds $1,000 and
every unmarried person, not the head
Of a family TO pay tax Oh that por-
tion Of that PERSONS net income that
exceeds $1,000; SO that if you are mar
ried and your income is $1,000 or more
you must make return and if YOU
are not married, and your income is
$1,000 or more you must make re-
turn for the year 1911
You have 60 days from the close Of
the year 1917 within which to make
this return, which means that you
must have the return in the hands Of
the Collector by March lst, 1918.
The government is under no obliga-
tion to send anyone to help YOU make
this return. Neither is the govern
ment under any obligation to call up
on you personally and advise you a.
bout this law, The government how
ever, realizes that great many
thousands Of people, especially farm
ers, who will be subject to this law,
may not be advised at this time that
there is any such law. For that rea-
son everything possible is being done
to help the taxpayer comply with the
law in order that it may be put into
effect with the least possible incon-
venience to the people.
The penalty for failure to- make
this return as required by law is a
fine ranging from $40 to $1,000 or a
jail sentence, or both. The income
tax officer will be provided with a
supply Of blanks upon which to make
| returns.
