HIS MILITARY FAME SECURE

Gen. Luigi Cadorna. chief of staff
OF the Italian army, which, under his
leadership, is making its triumphant
way toward Trieste, passed through
the first three years of the war almost
unnoticed. But the campaign he was
quietly planning during that period
now is reaching fruitlon, and in conse-
quence he stands out today as one of
the great figures OF the war.
The following excerpts from a
personality sketch published In the
Boston Evening Transcript reveal to
some extent the secret of his growing
fame and popularity. Says the writer,
Amy A. Bernardy:
mot easily elated by success, fully
and calmly confident in his strength
and In that of his men, devoted to
Italy with the.deep devotion that needs

Oriqln of Superstitions.

Mans curiosity is In excess of his
power to interpret and understand
Consequently, he guesses. and when he
guesses wildly and--as it seems to 9th
ers. probably of later date-inaccu-
rately, his guess is called supersti-
ton, writes j. Arthur Hill in Cham
bers Journal.
Owing to the innate conservatism
of human nature, a superstition may
llnger long after its origin is COM
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
applies to customs of all sorts.

"What are you looking for, so care

piece of wood that will exactly fit the

replies John.
Then Harold says, "Why don't you
make piece that will just fit? You
could white it out, and make 1t ex-
actly right, in half the time you spend
trying to find something"
True enough. 1t is so with some 9TH

ample. 1t is often easier to make
them than to look around to find them.

TAX OFFICER z: e.
IS COMING
United States Government Will Send
Expert to Assist in Making
Out Reports.

In Il communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal
Revenue Haly announces that a
Fedreai income tax officer viii be
sent into this county on January
IA, 1918, and will be here until
January 26, 1918. He will have his
offices in Mt. Sterling, Ky, in Post
Office and will be there every dav
ready and willing to help persons
subject to the income tax make out
their returns without any cost to
them for his services.
How many incOme-tax payers will
there be in Montgomery county?
If you can guess how many married
persons living with wife or husband
viii have net incomes or $4,000 or
over and how many unmarried per-
sons wall have net incomes of
$1,000 or over this year, then you
know The Collector of Internal
Revenue estimates that there will
lie coo tGxpayers in It's coan'y
Returns of income for the year
1n17 must Ee made on forms pro-
viled for the purpose before March
l, 1918. Because good many
people don't understand the law and
won't know how to make out their
returns, the government IS sending
in this expert to do it for them.
But the duty is on the taxpayer to
make himself known to the govern
ment. If he doesn't make return
as required before March 1st he may
have to pay a penalty ranging from
$40 to $1,000 and pay a fine. So
if you don't want to take chances
on incurring these penalties, you
better call on the income tax man.
If you are not sure about being
subject to the tax, better ask him
and make sure. Whether you see
the income tax man or not, you
must make return if subject to tax.
Of course, persons resident in
other counties may, If they want to,
come and see the income tax man
who will be at Mt. Sterling on the
above date.
The Collector suggests that ev-
erybody start figuring up now his
income and expenses 50 as to be
ready with the figures when the ex-
pert arrives. Expenses, however,
don't mean family expenses, money
used to pay off the principal of a
debt, new machinery, buildings, or
anything like that. They mean
what you spend in making your
money-interest, taxes paid, hired
help, amount paid for goods sold,
seed, stock bought for feeding, rent
