The farmers auction sale for the
benefit of the Red Cross was very
successful. The farmers of this
vicinity were very enthusiastic
and liberal in their donations
which forcihly speaks of their pa
triotism Blacks hall where the
donations were stored and auction
ed off was literally hacked with
grain and farm produce and the
bidding was fast and furious, SO
to speak. The goods sold amount
ed to about to about $42O SO and a
large amount was left over which
will be sold likewise as soon as
those who promised to donate will
haul in their donations. Cash do
nations received at the hall includ-
ing membership fees amounted to
$388, SO, making a total of $808 so
The committee in charge wishes
to express it's thanks to those who
have donated and informs those
farmers who have not as yet do
mated, that they may do SO and
haul their produce to the Black
hall where another auction will be
held for the same purpose. This
is the proper spirit. This coun-
try is at war with the arch enemy
of liberty and democratic institu.
etions. 1t is our war: every single
one of us should bear his share of
the burden, and the sooner the
war is won against barbarous Ger
many, the better. This cannot be
accomplished unless the whole
country back up the boys in the
trenches who are Offering their
lives that the country might live.
A few measly dollars are moth
ing as compared with the sacrifice
that they are giving. There is alb
solutely no reuse for anyone that
he cannot help. Such are ego
lists and traitors to this great
country and the day of reckoning
will come. Kind reader; are you
a patriot or a traitor? If the for
mer, then in the name of common
sense do your duty without delay
and without grudge or beating a.
bout the bush. You have every.
thing to win and every thing to
lose upon the outcome of this
war.

The War Revenue Law passed

CURED every married person liv-

ton of that persons net income
that exceeds $4,000 and every un-
married person, not the head of a
family to pay a tax on that por-

The Government, however, real
ICES that a great many thousands

will be subject to this law, may
not be advised ut this time that
there is any such law. For that
reason everything possible is be-
ing done to help the taxpayer com
ply with the law in order that it
may be put into effect with the
least possible Inconvenience to the
people.
The penalty for failure to make
this return as required by law is
Il fine ranging from $40 to $1,000
or Il Jail sentence, or both. The
income tax officer will be provided
with a supply of blanks upon
