INCOME TAX MEN
ARE PRETTY BUSY

1t is probable that the men sent
here to aid in the making of the in
come tax schedules will remain their
time limit. A visit to the court
house at any time during the day
shows that there are always some
county people either getting or wait
ing their turn to get information
they desire. The income tax sched-
ules in their details are almost as
intricate as the questionnaires. and
the fellow who has to make out both
of these and gets through without a
bobble is, in the language of the
street, "some man." They are nee
essary performances but almost lin
tricate to the man of moderate un-
Outstanding who does not wish to
make any breaks and get in bad
with the government. The sane rule
is IL you are single and have gotten
1000 during the past year from
any source whatever in the way OF
living. or IL married and you your
self or you and your wife have man
aged to scrape up $4,000 or more
during the year, go an see the in
come tax inspectors. They can put
you right.

A PROFITABLE MEETING

Thrift Stamps, Conservation and
First Aid occupied the attention of
the Woman's Club at their meeting
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Laura
Delahoyde opened the meeting with
fine showing of new food conser-
walton posters and talk on food
conditions in Europe. She empha-
sized the importance of the food
problem with this quotation: Seven
years ago Mr.. Bloch. the great Rus
sian Banker. said that the future of
war is not fighting but famine, and
Germany has lifted food to the i'm
pOrtance that this man prophesied
for it," She also read Harry Lau-
der's contribution to war literature,
which carries with it a stronger hui
man interest because of the loss of
his son in the war. By request the
subject Of thrift stamps was dis
cussed and as a result OF this talk
plan is being constructed to make
every woman club member the proud
owner of baby bond.

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU
HAVE BEEN TOO RADICAL?

AS a citizen. OF the United States
are you becoming alarmed on 40
count of the degree of patriotism you
find yourself possessing? Are you
afraid that you are getting too warm
on the subject? Are you trying I'd
hold yourself down? Are you be-
ginning to fear that you will learn
to hate Bernstorff, after you have
loved him SO long? Are. you alarm
ed lest you should hate the Prussian
butchers and baby killers? Do you
feel like qualifying your feelings by
continuing alien music, alien books
and alien languages? Are you afraid
that you are going to haze somebody
after the war? These are very prop
er questions to be asked consider
ing that a large percentage OF your
neighbors have not walked up at all,
seemingly thinking tnat the war was
a primary election and that it is to
be settled by healthy subscriptions
to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
Do you suppose there is anybody in
Prussia that lis concerned about our
tear-strung Americans? Do you sup
pose they are wondering how they
are going to be able to forgive US
after the war? That is the form in
which the Prussian would put the
question, because no true Prussian
ever admits even to his inner self
that he could do wrong or that he
ever needed to be forgiven. 1t Is al
ways the other, man who must come
and beg forgiveness.
Are you becoming chicken-heart.
ed? Are you prepared to apologize
to a pro-German sympatnIzer be-
cause you are SO red hot? Are you
prepared to negotiate peace with him
over the back yard fence by promis-
ing to be less intense?
II any of those questions represent
your state of mind. just think how
Prussia has got the poor little help
less nations of the earth by the
throat. Think of the starvation and
slavery to be charged up to Prussia.
Then make up your mind that you
are going to be Just Us excited as
you wish to be and conclude, that
this war is going to be fought to a
finish in the interest OF your, own

SIEVERS' GRAND
CHAMPION SALE

On January 18th the old reliable
Fred SEWERS. living four miles north
of Audubon, is again making one of
his characteristic sales of big-type
Poland China sows, and he is putting
up one of the greatest offerings that
he has ever sold since he has been
in the business. His sows are in
better condition than he has ever
before sold them, and when we say
that you may know that h. is selling
great lot There will be forty
head in the sale-13 yearlings and
two 2-year old sows and 81 head of
big stretchy spring gifts. Fifteen of
these are sired by his National Swine
Show grand champion and his Iowa
State champion boars. Twelve head
in this sale are sired by King Jones,
the boar that made such a hit as a
sire in his fall sale. The yearlings
and aged sows are bred to Big Bob
and King Jones. Fifteen of the
spring gifts are bred to Big Bob and
King Jones and the other twelve are
bred to his great new boar. Col. Jack.
Just word about this boar, Col.
Jack. He is the hog that he secured
up in northwest Iowa last fall. and
was regarded as one Of the greatest
propositions that was ever sold for
herd boar. He is son of Long
Wonder by Great Wonder by A Won
der A, by Fessenmeyer's old A Won
der. His dam is Long Lady End by
Allen Wonder by Gertsdale Wonder.
There are twelve of the best sOws in
the sale sired by King Jones bred to
this boar and take it from us they
are good propositions to buy. He Is
selling seven head Of sows sired by
his National grand hampton, Long
Big Bone. and few by the champ
ion Smooth Big Bone at this time.
and they are as good as he has in
his herd. These sows are bred to
Big Bob and King Long King, the
sire of the c. M. Peterson first prize
yearling boar at the National Swine
Show last fall. The dams of the
gifts in this sale are the largest and
best brood sows in his herd, and
there are no better sows in any herd
In America today. The Sievers herd
contains more grand champion boars
and sows than can be found in any
other herd in this country. Those
who are wanting some of the best
sOws of the big-type kind will find
them good and plenty and the very
best in the Fred Sievers sale.

CADDOCK TO MEET
The BIG POLANDER
Champion Announces That he Will
Wrestle Big Pole in Madison
Square Garden Jan. 20

Earl Caddock, of Anita, champion
wrestler of the world, and Wladek
Zbyszko, who also claims the worlds
title, will meet in a finish catch-as-
catch-can match in Madison Square
Garden, New York, on January 20,
according to an announcement made
by the Iowa wrestler in Cedar Rapids
Tuesday. Caddocck is now on barn
storming trip with Mike Gibbons in
an effort to raise funds for the Camp
Dodge gymnasium.
Cadock, in his Cedar Rapids inter
view, stated that his manager, Gene
Melady, had held out as long as he
could for holding the match in Des
Moines, but that Jack Curley, Zby-
szko's manager, had finally stated
that Zbyszko would positively not
wrestle Caddock in Iowa, and had
made a guarantee so much larger
than any offered by a western pro-
moter. that he had nothing to d. but
to accept.
Caddock also stated that he would
not consent to meet Zbyszko in the
east until he had been assured that
he would get square deal. In 9TH
er words. he is going to know just
who the referee will be.
Oscar Thorson at one time
thought he had the match virtually
cinched for Des Moines. His nego-
tiatfons had progressed SO far and
his guarantee looked SO good that
Melady had signed iron clad articles
for the match. The articles which
specified that neither wrestler was
to get a cent of the, money unless the
bout went two falls TO a finish, ap-
parently did not look good to the
fastener. who refused to sign.
According to a letter from Gene
Melady, Curley claims he wanted to
stage some bouts in New York and
that in order to get the Madison
Square garden he was compelled to
lease the building for five dates. jan
uary 20 being one of them. He says
he Is paying a big rental and that
he cannot accept Caddock match in
the west, as he would lose the money
he has paid for the building on jan
uary 20.
In the meantime the fact that Zby-
szko and some of the other wrestlers
only began making their claims to
the championship after Caddock had
enlisted at Camp Dodge and it ap-
peared that he would be unable to
meet the seemingly anxious chal-
lengers. is being noticed by the fans.

A PATRIOTIC DAUGHTER

Mildred Christensen, ten-year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs c. V.
Christensen of this city, is one of
the most patriotic little girls we
know of. Last summer she gath
cred flower seeds from her garden
at home and put them in packages
which she sold at cents each. She
made eight strands of. paper beads
which she sold. receiving four dol
lars from the sale of flower seeds
and two dollars from the sale OF
beads, making total of six dollors.
This amount she turned over to the
Red Cross, five dollars of which was
given to the ambulance fund and one
dollar for membership in the society
She had a nice little savings &C
count which amounted to $500 and
this she has invested in a War Saw
ings Certificate. II all little girls
in the community were as thrifty
and saving as Mildred, largo sum
OF money could be put to good use
Mildred is to be commended foI
showing her patriotism and doing
"her bit" to win the war.
