the telling Of the story Of her flight before
the invading armies, and the unspeaka BILE
condition in which she found her home

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1917



The people OF this country, the
people of Hancock country and Of
Ellsworth Maine, are not yet fully
awake to the fact that this country is
at war, that war is serious business,
and that the situation demands sacri-
fee il they are to remain free men
and women.
Civilization is arrayed against bar
barism, democracy against autocracy.
We are at war with nations practic-
ing cruelties beside which those Of
the dark ages pale; against rulers
who recognize no laws Of nations or
OF humanity. The war is not yet
won.
The people OF this country must go
deep into their pockets to finance the
war; they must do without Injuries,
without comforts; they must con-
serve food, that our armies and the
armies OF our allies lighting for Us
may be fed.
1t is not . time for any American
citizen worthy Of the name to refuse
TO do all that it is possible for him to
do simply because he feels that some
one else is not doing his full share.
Our soldiers and sailors are making
the supreme sacrifice, and We 1t
home must do our full share il We are
to be worthy Of their sacrifice, il We
are to be worthy Of the freedom which
their sacrifice will preserve for Us.

1.-THE government recognizes" says Col
lector OF internal Revenue,Seth w. Jones'
''that many persons experience good deal
VI difficulty in filing out income tar
blanks. 1t recognizes, too, that taxpayers
resident ct points where collectors Offices
are not easily accessible find 1t hard to get
proper instruction in the law.
Next year, when every married person
living with wife or husband and having
net income OF t20O0, and every person
unmarried not the head OF family and
having net income OF q 900 for the year
1917 must make return of income on the
form prescrib ID. there will be hundreds
in every community seeking light on the
law, and help in executing their returns.
Every collection district in the nation
will be divided into districts, with the
county - the unit, and . government
officer informed in the income tax as
signed to esch district. He will spend
hardly less than week in each county,
and in some counties . longer time, very
likely in the courthouse ct the county
seat town. In cities where there are
branch Offices, be will be there,
and in other cities possibly at the city
hall.
my ONCE will in due time sdvise post
masters and bankers and send out notices
to the newspapers stating when the ON
Ger will be in each county. 1t will be un-
necessary for prospective Taxpayers to ask
my Office for forms on which to make re-
turns. The officer who visits their coonty
will have them.
1sThe Law makes 1t the duty OF the tax
payer to seek ont the collector. Many
people assume that II an income-tax
form 10 not3sent, orr government ofiicer
does not call, they are relieved from
making report. This is decidedly in error.
It is the other way round. The taxpayer
has to 60 to the government, and II he
doesu't within the time prescribed, he is
a violator OF the law, and the Cover nmens
will 60 to him with its penalties"
