THE SLACK IN WAR CONDUCT

The statement of General Crozier
that the falling down in the produc-
ton of rifles in American factories af-
ter the declaration of war was due to
a scattering of men resulting from
that event. which was anticipated by
both the manufacturers and the war
department, to avert which both were
not wholly successful, calls attention
to a phase of the situation which has
affected every activity. which was in
evitable and which has been passed
without thought or notice
When the war broke out two things
were imperatively necessary: to, if
possible, maintain and increase pro-
duction in those lines already engag-
ed in the furnishing of war necessar-
les, and to at once engage in other
activities which would be needed to
successfully equip the increased army
and navy required to win the war.
This presented a great difficulty. The
opening of new activities was certain
to draw from those already in opera
ton many men who were competent
to work in both. These could not
readily be replaced Hence, while new
enterprises started off with a rush,
the old ones were bound to lag Men
can perform only a certain amount of
work and the number of trained men
are limited This applies not only to
war industry but to almost all lines
of industry.
The Red Cross and other necessary
relief work was even more necessary
than the conduct of essential indus
try and required and received the as
sistance of the ablest and best men
in the field of finance and produc-

from Industrial fields at a great sac

COOPERATIVE STORES

The Farmers Non-Partisan league
has started to establish a chain of
fifty cooperative stores across the
continent The effect of the stores
financed by the league and for the
benefit Of the members will be about
as fatalistic to the country merchant
as the big mail order department
stores, neither of which advertise in
the country paper or contribute to
local enterprise. Pacific Coast Manu-
facturer
The TINES does not share in the
pessimism regarding the fate of the
country merchant in the event that
the stores are established as suggest
ed. Their establishment would, in
deed, disturb business conditions for
the country merchant to some extent
for some time. but, judging the flu
ture by the past, the merchant would
survive and the stores perish. The
danger would be to the league mem
bers, more than to anyone else if past
history counts for anything
The Grange long time ago started
stores in most towns in the Mississip-
pi valley states, which flourished for
time and then went broke" at least
ninety-nine per cent Of them did.
Later on the Farmers Alliance and
similar organizations, claiming that
they had new plan, which would
render their stores impervious to the
troubles which assailed the Grange
stores, started a great many places OF
business, but in a few years, the
stores and the organizations back of
them were forgotten. In this, as in
the other case, there were few eX-
ceptions, where the business contin-
ued to succeed for many years.
Now, the farmer is just as good a
business man as the merchant, but
his business is farming. He cannot
give the attention to his farm, nee
essary for success there, and at the
same time give the attention to the
store that is necessary to make that
a winner and as his interests are nat
urally mainly in the business from
which he is making his living, he at
tends to that and succeeds there
When the cooperative stores start,
many succeed for a time. because they
command to the exclusion of others
the patronage of the farmers who are
in the organization. After a time the
farmer begins to look around to see
where he can get the best bargains
and finds it is often in other stores
The men selected by the organization
to manage affairs are more frequently
than not, incompetent, and when the
first fervor is over, this incompetency
loses business for the cooperative
concern. When this state of affairs
becomes noticeable, the finish of the
concern is not far Off This has been
the history of such enterprises in the
past, and unless human nature has

THOUSANDS
NEED =. =. :.
RIGHT NOW

valent Just at this season? The
reason is easily explained, and the
condition can be readily corrected.
There are certain demands made
upon the human system every day,
and weather conditions play an
important part with the functions
Of the body. Impurities have ac-
cumulated during the long winter
period, your blood has become
sluggish, and as the health of your
body depends upon the condition
Of your blood, it is impossible to be
vigorous and feel buoyant when it
contains the slightest impurity.
Nature needs assistance. and the
feeling Of 1assitude is her distress
signal calling for aid. She needs a
cleansing tonic that viii sweep
away the accumulated impurities
and prepare the system for the
bright and sunny springtime.
1t is right now that everybody
needs d few bottles Of S. S. S, the
greatest blood purifier and tonic.
This is truly natures own remedy,
for it is composed only of the roots
and herbs Of the forest, being guar
anteed purely vegetable, and abso-
lutely free from any particle Of
mineral substance. 1t promptly

To Prepare the System for
Spring.

The change OF seasons IS always
severe on the human system. Par
ticularly is this true OF the change
from winter to spring With the
change Of seasons there is also a
change going on within the human
system that is very trying on the
average person, unless nature is
given some assistance.
The severity of winter has a
wearing effect and leaves the body
in a rundown condition. That IS
what is meant by the general de-
biIity which seems to affect 50
many people, commonly called
Spring fever. Anyone is liable
to feel its depressing influence.
AT this season men who are Wig
orous and active. and need all their
strength in their daily pursuits, find
creeping over them a feeling Of
weakness which increases until
their entire system becomes worn
out and a breakdown seems immi-
nent.
Women become nervous and tir-
ed, their household duties seem
more than they can stand, they can
hardly drag themselves around, so
weakening is the 'au-sun-down' =
feeling which takes possession Of
them.

children. for this is TIE season that

RULES GOVERNING PAYMENTS OF NEW
 INCOME TAXATION

Internal Revenue Collector Walsh has issued the following instructions in references to the new income tax:
 A single person earning s1,000 a year will not be required to pay a tax, but will be required to file a return; that is. you must obtain a form and fill it out and file 1t with the collector. A tax will only be collected on what you earn over the $1,o00.
 This same rule applies to married people living together or heads of families receiving $2.oo0 year. Un- less such married people, living to- gether. have an income in excess of $2,0e0 no tax will be collected, but a return must be filed.
 A simple illustration is given as follows: Single person-Net income $5,000; exemption. s1,000; $4,000 tax able income at 2 per cent. is $50. Married persons-Net income, $5,00o; exemption, $2,000: $3,oo0 taxable in- come at 2 per cent. is $60.

Colonel Rockwell was the first to shake hands with Resnati. and he was followed by other American aviation officers at the camp, and by General Emilio GugIielmotti, who is attached to the Italian aircraft mission here. The passengers were huddled togeth- CT in the forward part of the ma- chine, which was decorated with the Italian and American flags, and though crowded in closely were un- able to converse during the trip on account of the roar of the motors TAsy carried on some small talk, how ever, by means of pad of paper on which sentences were scribbled. Muff1ed in their heavy coats, the par ty did not feel the cold very much. They said the lowest temperature re- corded was 34 degrees; but they had flown for the most part. at ,aH altitude of about 5000 feet, rising to 11,600 when near Asbury Park and continu- ing at that height for some miles.
 In the earlier part of the trip Resnati followed the coast line, but when he rose to higher altitude at Asbury Park he cut out to sea a little and drove straight for State Island. Upon getting over the island he turn ed a, little eastward again, crossed over Jamaica Bay and then down to Mineola. The machine had wing spread of 72 feet and was equipped with three Isotta motors of 150' horse power >each. The average speed, however, was only a little over 73 miles an hour, while lieutenant Bal dini made an average of 112. and at times as high as 40.
 Resnatfs passengers were Captain A W. HILL c. A C.; Lieutenant M. w. Pollock, who represented Brig. Gen. George A. Squier, head of the Army Aviation Service; Captain Carlo Cap pi of the Italian Aviation Commis- sion, who sat at the alternative con troIs ready to take charg if Resnar1 wearied; Lieutenant A. Tantoni. Cor porals J. V. Angelo and Giovanni Bas- so, Francisco cal1etti mechanician and Lieutenant Erickson, the Ameri- can photographer. All of them said that they felt in tiptcp condition.

BIG CAPRONI HAS
 3 PASSENGERS IN A RECORD FLIGHT
Huge Italian Biplane Flies 335 Miles In 4 Hours,
 9 Minutes.

Mineola, L. l.. Oct. 2S-The capa- bi1ities of Italian aircraft were dem- onstrated yesterday by the arrival of two Italian machines at the field of the Mineola aviation school after nonstop flights from, Langley Field near Norfolk. Va The first was a l I'jmilip 4biplane scout, piloted by Lieutenant Atiuo Baldion, which made the 330 miles in two hours and 55 minutes. The second, a big Caproni biplane, was 1piloted by Captain An tonic Silvio Resnati, and carried eight passengers It took him four hours and 25 minutes to make the trip, but he established an American record for long, distance flight with such load Both machines are resting in the hangars at the Mineola field, and will fly over New York tomorrow in connection with the Liberty Loan pa- rade.
 Captain Resnah was accompanied on his trip by both American and Italian officers, and reports of the ex- pertinent will be made to both gov ernments. Gdeutenant James Brick son of the United States Army took photographic all along the route. Lieu tenant Baldioli started at 10:05, with, Captain L. B. Lent. U. g.. A. as a pas senger
 Shortly before 1 o'clock students and fnstructcrs who were flying about the Meheofa field saw an airplane coming up from the South. It's size and type were easily distinguished by the officers on the ground and word spread that the Pomilio machine was coming. In a few few minutes Leu ! tenant Baldioli had brought his ma- chine down on the field, and was sur- rounded by an eager group of stu- dents who were surprised to find that he seemed to be no older than them ' selves. He is only 22 years old, and Captain Resnati. though a veteran of hard fighting along the Isonzo. is only 24. Baldiolps machine has $50 horse power engine, and. Is equipped with machine gun platform and places for six 65-pound bombs. He flew at q heght of about 12,000 feet nearly all the way, and had no trou- ble. tffqpSh he found the weather quite cold.
 About AIS o'clock Lieut.. Col. V. la S Rockwell, ell,sacommandanti of the school sighted the Caproni comine down from the northwest. It was al first thought that she had flown UT the Hudson and around to the north of the city, but Captain Resnati said later that he had come north from sJamaica Bay. and then had circled around to the field. Ten instruction machines were in the air when the Italians flew over the field, and the smaller planes circled about and gathered in from all sides in greeting as the big Caproni swept around the field, then turned. and volplaned down

are only entitled to, under the new law, the $1.0O0 exemption, the same as a single person, and $3,000 ex emption under the old law. ! In addition to the above, which is the war income tax, the income tax under the act of September s, 1916, will be levied.
 The new war income tax and the income tax under the act of Septem- Der 8. 1s1seshopld be figured separ- ately.
 For the benefit of taxpayers I have taken into consideration the follow ing questions asked of this office and the answers may be helpful:
 Q-What tax would a single person be required to pay receiving an in- come of $1,750 year? A--The ex- emption would be allowed 1000 and there would be per cent. tax on $750, namely $15. However, if the income exceeded $3,000 there would be an additional income tax of per cent. on an amount in excess of $3;- 900.
 K--What tax would a married per- son be required to pay receiving an income of $3,00e a year? A.-There would be an exemption allowed of $2s- GOO and a tax of per cent. levied on the additional $1,000 or SEQ. How ever. if the income exceeded $4,000 there would be an additional income tax, of 2 per cent. on an amount in excess of $4,000.
 Q-When does the income tax law go into effect? When is the tax pay able? A--The law is in effect as of January 1. 1917. and returns should be filed for income received during the calendar year of 1917, the returns be- ing required to be filed on or before. March 1, 1918 and the tax>paid on or before June Is, 1918, for, the year 1917. Q.-Are losses in securities de- ductible under the law? A.-Losses 1 incurred in trade are proper deduc- tions. However, any transactions en- tered into for profit, but not connect | ed with trade or business may only be | charged off to an amount not exceed ing the profits derived during the year.
 | Q.-What are the penalties impos- 1 turn within the required time3 Az l Fifty per cent. additional tax and a specific penalty of from .s2o to, $1.- | 900.
 Collector Edwards pointed out that
 no return can be made to the govern
 ment except the one furnished by the
 internal revenue department. This form should be filled out, at the tax l payers leisure, sworn to by an of | ficer with a seal.
