FRENCH FRONT-Dog-s sentncls of the French army take their turn to rcpose together with their human com lades In the rest camps" of the second line, where they are relieved for a time from the nerve rlcliing thunder of the cannon which is their daily lot in the front trenches.
 The Associated Press Correspondent recently saw a number of these ami mals frisking around with their soldier friends in the water of a canal run ming through the territory of the Som- me whence recently the Germans were driven. The dogs appeared to enjoy the relaxation just as much as the men with whom they had just marched back from the front trenches after a spell of duty lasting twelve days.

The dogs have become quite accustomed to the roar and bursting of shells which when the animals were first sent to the fighting line caused them to run off with their tails dropping.
 Now when the human sentinca are posted right in the face of the enemy the dogs take up their position quite naturally beside them and keep u sharp watch out over mo mans l2nd."

 All the soldiers at the front have learned to have very strong conf dcncc in the instinct of their dog com Ianions who participate in all their pcrils and often save them from death or capture.
 Efforts were made at one time to usc dogs as companions of the French night patrols which creep out between the lines to try to sec what is going on in the enemy trenches. The cN- pertinent, however. was not entirely successful. as sometimes two French patrols would meet and tn" dogs ar- companying one party would attack the men composing the other If .hr same men always went out on patrol duty it would be different. 1- the dogs would learn to recognize them even in the dark, but this is not possible

THE WAR TAX OF 1917 TITLE 1. WAR INCOME TAX

The following statement relative to the new income tax Law is a digest of the enactment prepared by MT. A, E. Miller, chief deputy in the U. s. Mar shals office, from the only copy of the law ill the district, that in the possess sion of the Marshal. The article re- fcrs only to the taxes imposed by the new enac tIncnt on individuals and does not include any of the provisions of the law relating 10 corporations or CO., partnerships. The appended notes are Mr. Miller's own and are explaua- tory of the text. As indicated by re- cent telegrams, persons whose incomes subject them to the provisions of the law arc required to make returns to the Collector of Customs at Tacoma by March l. save when residing in the 1emoter districts. Tn the latter case a thirty day extension is granted when returns are accompanied by satisfactory explanatiols of the delay.

You will note that the tax of nine teen sixteen is still in force and the nineteen seventeen tax Is an additional one.
 In computing the above tax the in- dividual is allowed the old exemption on the ? per centum tax of nineteen sixteen but is only allowed 5000 or $a.00O exemption on the additional 2 per centum tax of nineteen seventeen with additional exemption of s2O0 for each dependant child under eigh. teen years of age.
 Therefore a married man with an in- come of 5000 per year would pay 2 per centum on 32.00o and 1 per centum on $1.oOO with $2OO additional exemp- tion for each child under eighteen.

Monday night it was voted in the in

union evening services during the win

Whereas it is we'll known by all
church going people of Boise that the
attendance at the Sunday evening SER
vices, of all churches Is comparatively
small. and
Whereas, there is urgent need for
conservation of fuel in every way pos
sible. Now, therefore, be it resolved.
by the official board of the Congre-

evening services of Boise churches
during the winter months and recon-
mend that the official boards of other
churches take similar action"

GROCERS OPPOSED TO
NON-DELIVERY PLAN

1t is understood the grocers' commit
tee at tonights meeting with the state
food administrator, will oppose the
plan to abandon the present delivery
system. 1t Is pointed out that any
saving thereby would be so small the
public would not be satisfied in view
of the associated inconvenience. They
believe other means might be adopted
to bring about more certain lowering
of prices of groceries.
1t is understood there is also con-
siderable opposition to the proposal to
place the business on cash basis.
They would all welcome such course,
but it is said it is impractical because
of the large number of people in Boise
who receive their wages monthly and
even auartely.
