BOYS MOVING
RUNIORS THAT MADISON BOYS
ARE ON THE WAY TO
THE FRONT.

Press dispatches state that the
116th supply train of the 4lst diyi-
sion, which was at Camp Greene, are
on their way or really in New York.
The news is more or less conjectural
in nature, being based on the infor-
nation from the men that they were
about to break camp, destination un-
known. The inference is that they
are on their way to the front But
by what route, whether by New York
or by any other port is not known,
nor will il be known until more in
innate and exact information can be
gotten. Parents and friends of men
from Madison, who are members of
the company-who are even officers
in possession OF all the news avail
able-do not know the sailing port
nor their destination. Any definite
statement must be accepted as being
only from inference. This is prob
ably not design TO keep the home
folks in ignorance of the soldiers
whereabouts, but is precaution fol
getting them safely across the watel
without the enemy being Informed
beforehand.

A WORD ABOUT THE DELIVERY
SERVICE QUESTION.

Inasmuch as the majority OF our
customers have been very, very con-
siderate in the past in the matter of
carrying their own bundles, if small,
we have retrained from making much
mention of the subject However, ii
can be easily understood that very
important ideal underlies the plea of
the government to curtail every un-
necessary expense. And you must re-
member that every parcel taken along
with you helps just so much in keep
ing costs down, and in allowing labor
to be used where IL Is more neces-
sary.
We are not going to lessen ouI
service to you except in cases where
the service is an unnecessary waste
However, on and after November l
we are going to make charge of
cents for the delivery of any order o.
less than 81. Cooperate with US ant
| bunch your orders.

FIRST War TAX
JOHN ROWE CONTRIBUTES HIS
MITE FIRST In MADISON
LUXURIES HIT.

Mr. and Mrs. John Rowe, en- route
this morning to Corpus Christi, Tex,
where they will spend the winter,
were the first to pay the war tax on
railroad and Pullman tickets. The
amount he paid this morning, repre-
senting the difference between that
and what he would have to pay yes
| terday for the same tickets was SO.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe, by the way, have
| been spending their winters in Flor
| ida, and may later change to that
state unless suited well with the
Texas climate.
The effect of the tax will generally
affect luxuries. The person who
lives quietly at home and writes no
| letters after today, does not travel
nor attend places of amusement can
pretty well avoid contributing to the
support of the governments eXtraor-
dinary expenditures. This class of
persons will be reached only in an
indirect way by the imposed taxa
ton. Freight bills are taxed, and of
course what they buy will be higher
by that amount.

congress on October 8, 1917, go into
