boam and other ancient celebrities
in that line to the piker list.
100000 Farmers Pay
Not less than 100000 farmers
will pay income tax, despite the
fact that nearly all farmers are
married and fathers-and a man
gets $1,000 exemption for a wife
and $500 for each child.
About 80 per cent of the 3O31
counties in the U. s. have been
organized for war purposes by the
creation of County Defense Coun-
ellis.
Roper will use these county
councils to educate the people on
the war tax and inform them how
to pay 1t. >,
In addition to this, a large field
force of deputy internal revenue
collectors will shortly take the
field and deliver speeches at the
court houses, churches and schools

pamphlets will be distributed.

1t is said that another call for drafted
men will be made either in December or
January, when the half million men or
more whose numbers follow next after
the first call will be summoned. The
first increment OF 6S7 900 men is either in
cantonments or ready TO 90, and by the
first OF the year many OF these will have
been trained sufficiently to make them
part OF the National Army. AS they are
withdrawn from the various camps
where they are now being trained, new
men will be called 10 take their places,
and this will probably be by the first OF
the year.
Arrangements are being made for the
training OF 10000 coIored men who have
been drafted in the first call. These will
be assembled at different camps in regi-
ments OF $500 each, the whole forming
a division OF 10000 composed entirely OF
