FOOL TALk-cRlMIhAL TALK.

Over in Illinois woman whose SON.
in-law of three or four months had
been drafted was in despair. The man
seemed to her as one already dead. A
militia captain had told her that the
life Of soldier in Europe was twenty
eight hours. At least she imagined
that she had been told that. But TWEEN
tyeight hours or twenty eight days or
twenty-eight months she saw her
daughters husband dead and trench
buried
There is a great deal Of fool asser-
ton going on, assertion almost Grim
inal as it is foolish. Perhaps this
captains assertion OF statistics, utter
ly without foundation. was mistaken
understanding on the part Of the wom-
an but at any rate it filed her soul
with fear and her Imagination with
fearful images of destruction.
So much of that loose talk Is being
INDUCED in, foolish, unfounded fright
ening assertions without any founda-
::a3 tina. # needs constant correction
If you are one of those broadcasting
misinformation and loose assertion to
the added worry of women who have
already plenty to worry over-quit It.
Quit it now. Inform yourself before
you speak. Don't add to the burden
Of wives and mothers by ill-judged and
untrue assertion. Anyhow and any
where don't talk too much, jump to
conclusions without inquiry, or assert
without full knowledge of facts
Whether it is matter of death rate
or Of exemptions or anything else over
which the public mind Is deeply stirred
be careful of assertion.
Don't add to worry or start unjust
reports thru careless talk.

ROUNDING up FARMERS INCOMES.

| Farmers by the hundreds and per-
| haps by the thousands are Wild with
! fright today at the receipt from the
revenue collector Of notices calling
them to come and be sworn as to their
| incomes for the past four years. How
much corn did you sell? How much
! eats? How much did you spend TO:
seed? For fences? Did you buy bull
| or q boar? How much did you receive
from rents, from interest and how
much in trade at the stores? These
and a hundred other items must be
answered upon cath and yet the ave-
rage farmer keeps no books from
which ne can obtain the information
required.
Ii is the most inopportune moment
imaginable to throw such panic into
the midst OF the farming class who are
the ones who must buy Liberty bonds
if Iowa ever ahsorhs its quota and YET
there Is more bark than bite to the
alarm after all.
During the past four years men
should have reported as to their in
comes if they earned $4,000 or more
gross income on their farms. II they
were married as most farmers are
they were entitled 10 exemption from
taxation for the first $4,000 OF net in
come and in ascertaining net income
they were entitled to deduct all ey-
penses of doing business except living
expenses. After these deductions have
been made the average farmer will not
have to exceed $4,000 OF net income LEFT
to be taxed so there is really nothing
to pc feared except annoyance in the
revenue collectors call
But hereafter everybody, farmers
and others must report to the revenue
collector If the:- gross income exceeds
$1,000 And that is the cause of this
dragnet call that has been sent out
The same deductions can be made for
expenses of doing business but the
government purposes to check over
those deductions to see If they are
within the law Then if the net income
for married man exceeds $4,000 it
will be taxed under the new law UP to
$4,000 and all income above the 5000
mark will be taxed both under the old
l., 10 lou
The purpose OF the revenue depart
ment now is more 10 get farmers lined
up for their reports under the new law
than to fine anybody for conceaiins
his income from taxation. The thing
for everyone to do is TO meet the
gentleman. Get posted as to keeping
farm records for income taxation.
Guess at the past as near as possible
and state in this oath that this is cor
rect to my best knowledge and be-

very grateful to her for saving him
from old Daddy Fox.
Well. after that he came across his
friend Blackie Grow. And the frat
thing this small crow did was to sing
a song:
"The yellow pumpkins smile aolng
The Old Snake Fence to-day,
And many a bird. so have heard.
Is on his southern way.
But don't care II woods are bare,
And snow Will soon be coming,
I'll stay awhile and cav and smile
Where Woodpeckers are drumming"
And sure enough. In the Friendly
Forest, not very far away. Billy Bunny
heard the woodpeckers drumming on
the hollow tree trunks like soldier boys
in regimental band.
So the little rabbit got his popgun
out Of his knapsack and marched along
one. two, left. right, left, right, and
pretty soon, not so very far, he saw
Jimmy Chipmunk gathering up nuts
for the long winter time.
How many bushels have you stor-
ed away?" asked Billy Bunny. and he
that Jimmy Chipmunk shut his eyes.
Please keep your nose still" he said.
II can't think" And then the little
rabbit wriggled his left ear two mil
Hon and half times. but Jimmy Chip
munk didn't see 1t, for he still had his
eyes tightly closed And in the next
story II he opens them in time I'll tell

10 place to hide in. no mice hollow
stumps nor friendly caves or anything

know what to do. And he looked up
at the Big Weeping Willow Tree and
said:
.'Oh. dear me! I'm goner now. I
know it."
Stay right where you are, little
bunny, and I'll hide YOU" And then
that kind tree folded her long. droop-
ing branches all around the little rab-
DIT so that Daddy Fox couldn't even see
him. Wasn't that wonderful? Well,
guess it was. 1t was about the incest
thing that could have happened Just
then.
Where has that little Billy Bunny
gomez" asked old Daddy Fox, but the
kind willow tree didn't answer. She
only sighed and rustled her leaves as
much as to say, I'm sorry for you,
Mr.. Fox" But OF course she didn't say
any such thing. 1t was only the wind
IN the tree tops. And after that the
crafty old fox went away. and the

THE EMPTY CLIP.

Uby L. NepuuIS DsAtSt.i
Just a little tale my friends
AS you ask where your dollars go,
A story old to f1ghtirg men,
But one that you should know.
You've sent your boys to battle
With blessings on your lips,
You haven't sent the dollars yet
To ill their rifle clips.
Imagine then the battle
Where bullets scream and rip;
Close your eyes, your boy is down,
He holds an empty clip.
Too late to send your money now
To break the battles grip:
A million dollars wouldn't pat
One bullet in a clip.
Give 1t now. buy bond
And as your dollars slip
You'll never dream about your boy
Holding an empty clip.

The TWO ENDS OF IT.

II you had a son who sh!rked serv-
ice you'd be ashamed of him, wouldn't
you? That's his end of it. You don't
want him to be ashamed of you be-
cause you're too tight listed to buy
Liberty bonds. That's your end of il:
Perhaps you are not willing to chip
in so Uncle Sam can save our sons
from useless slaughter, our daugh-
tiers from rap!ne. our farms from de-
struction and yourself from deporta-
ton. Ask the farmers and manutac-
turers and salaried persons and wage
workers OF Belgium about It. Wouldn't
they jump at the chance TO buy back
what they lost at the price those OF
this country are asked for such i'm
munity?
1t is a disgrace to own Stacker dol
lar.
The loan is a chance to lay up for
a rainy day which will never come
if we lay up for it. Chip in your biz,
for if German militarism triumphs
there will be rainy day coming to Us.
Every dollar you put into Liberty
bonds will probably save a boys life in
France. II you don't think that q bar
gain set a price on your boys What's
the price on boys?
Most of us like to be on the band
wagon. Invest a few dollars for a seat
on the wagon that will head the march
to Berlin.
Last, but not least, let's scratch our
heads and try to remember who we
owe for all this prosperity, peace and

THE LITTLE WORD BUT

A well known business man with
German name and American 10 the
core was discussing war matters with
friend. He was expressing himself
emphatically as to the needs of the
times-tha necessity OF all standing
back of the government in the mighty
effort to win the war. He also paid
his respects 10 those who are luke
warm and openly opposed 10 the war
aims of the government.

his friend, in fact just as good an
American as you. but"
The first man poked his strong in
dex finger into the chest of the other.
Stop where you are" he said. That
little word but is all ! want to hear.
1t proves to me that you are not an
American" And he left him.
This is not a fable but an actual
happening. 1t may not contain a moral.

each other and perform unheard of
antics. They spring from a magic
cave, which also hides the fairies and
COLLINS who come forth at the bidding
of the Patchwork Girl.
Beautiful girls in varied costumes
perform a number of drilling and dane
ing stunts and balance the scenes with
sracefulcss. The high Woody, WOODY
man, a much abused acrobat, creates
roars Of laughter He never gives
the fairies or COLLINS a minutes peace
and his ludicrous performances are
really marvellous. Every boy and
