INCOME TAX MAN COMING.
Collector of Internal Revenue
Hughes announces that officers
will start from his headquarters
on January I. and on January 2,
every one of them will be on the
job in the county assigned him,

them make out their income tax
returns. The officer assigne d
to this county will be at Mt Yer
non from Jan. and to Jan. 8th.
On his arrival he will inform
bankers and postmaster where
his office will be located 1t
will be well for every unmarried
person whose net income for
1917 is 81 900 or over, and every
married person living with wife
or husband whose net income for
1917 is 81, 600 or over, to call on
the income tax man and learn
whether or not they have any
tax to pay, Collector Hughes
said TODAY. The person subject
to tax who doesn't make return
in the time prescribed is going to
regret it The government will
get after all income tax slackers.
There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man,
who won't have to make a re.
turn OF income. Primers, as a
class, will have to pay the3ax.
The safe thing to do is for every
person who had total income of
81 900 or s., 600, as the case may
be, and who is not sure about
what deductions the law allows
him. TO play it safe BY calling on
the income tax man. The man

pect TO call on him need not
trouble themselves 10 write TO

Lieutenant Blakely received his
commission only thirteen days before
he met his death on the field of hon
or. He was one of the first Topekans
to enlist, entering the, quartermaster' $
department of the national guard
here in April, 1917. He was with the

termaster's department OF the Thirty
fifth division when he reached frencn
soil. Shortly after this he was picked
for an officers training camp and re-
ceived his commission on october 1.
Met Death Bravely.
Some indication of the spirit with
which the young Topeka officer made
the supreme sacrifice is shown by a
letter received from him by his moth
er only short time ago. In this let
ter he said:
II have to study and work dread
fully hard; but I'll make it. General
Pershing says: 'Hardships will be
your lot, but trust in God. He will
give you comfort. Temptations will
befall you. but the teachings OF the
Savior will give you strength. Lei
your valor as soldier and your con-
/ duct as a man be an inspiration to
your comrades and an honor to your
| country. =,
'I shall follow this motto. Don't
worry about me. I'll be as safe as
can be. Pray for peace: it is bound
to come soon. This horrible massacre
| of human beings cannot last much
tlonger."
Last Letter Written October 10.
The last letter received from Lieu
tenant Blakely was dated October lc,
/ Just three days before his death, and

sibility and the fact that he had greer

ENORMOUS STORES OF
CLOTHING IN U. S. HANDS
Demobilization Of Military Forces
Will Leave Vast Quantities Of
Goods, Some Not Needed Now.

Demobilization of the military
forces Of the nation will leave in
possession of the government enor-
nous stores of clothing. The amount
of clothing and equipage on hand for
the use of the Army November 1,
ten days before hostilities ceased, is
shown in a report made public today
by Brig. Gen. Robert E. Wood, act
ing quartermaster general, and di-
rector of purchase and storage.
Included in the list of articles Of
clothing on hand and not in possess
sion of the troops November l, were
in round numbers: 100000 cotton
coats, 100000 woolen coats, 4,000, 900
overcoats, 100000 flannel shirts.
45,000,000 pairs of winter and sum-
mer drawers, 100000 pairs of win
ter and summer undershirts, 11,OOO,-
900 pairs of shoes of all types, 49,
100000 pairs of stockings and 5,000,-
900 blankets.
Some Of this large supply Of cloth
ing, all of which and even much
more would have been needed had
the war continued through the winter,
will be used before the troops can be de-
modified.
Some will be retained for the regu-
lar establishment, officers said, and
the remainder doubtless can be sal
vaged.
