Many Blanks Have Seen Mailed to In
dividaals-No Provision to Relieve
Delinquent Taxpayer for Failure to
Make Report.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 23.-Collector OF
Internal Revenue u. b. Craig today
stated that the Department at Wash.
ington is calling ON individual income
tax payers throughout the country to
pay their taxes when they file their
tax returns.
Many persons have been furnished
blanks by the Collectors office and
some have obtained their blank from
Federal Officers sent out by the Col
lector's office at Nashville. Collector
Craig states that these officers will
have visited every county in the state
by March LIST. The Collector urges
that all unmarried individuals whose
net income for the calendar year 1917
was $1,000 or over and that all mar
ried individuals whose net income
was $4,000 or over, get their figures
ready, and be able to file their tax
reports as soon as the Federal Off
Ger is in their county. All parties
who have already obtained their
blanks should be prompt. Send in the
report and tax due without delay. It
is patriotic duty in these times to
render the Government every service
that it asks. By paying taxes now,
you will give the Government the
benefit of this revenue and enable the
Internal Revenue Office in this state
to render the public more efficient
service by avoiding the congestion
bound to result if taxpayers wait till
June to pay the amount due.
II you live in community that
will not be visited by Revenue Of
ficer and are liable for Income Tax
you should write to E. B. Craig, Col
lector of Internal Revenue, Nashville,
and obtain the necessary blank upon
which to file your tax return. If the
Federal Officer has already been in
your community and you did not see
him, you must write to the Internal
Revenue Collector and obtain a
blank. Your bank or postoffice can
tell you when the officer will be in
your county, and where he will be.
1t is pointed out by the Collectors
office that there is no provision in
the law to relieve delinquent tax.
payer on account of failure to receive
blank or to be visited by Federal
Officer. The taxpayer must go to the
Government If he does not, he in
ours the heavy penalty provided by
law All income tax returns must be
filed with the Internal Revenue Col.
lector or one Of his deputies on or
before March 1st 1918. If not, pen
atty for delinquency will accrue by
law.

The Lamar high school teams now

Ford negative team; while the Lamar

the judges, but while the Lamar af-

Garden and Orchard Notes

Written for the Register by a prac-
teal gardener)
Much can be done to add materially
to the supply of table necessities by
caring for your asparagus and rhubard
beds that will need deep tillage and
fertilizing. Great results will follow
if the roots are divided and trans
planted. Plant asparagus with cover
ing at least four inches deep. The
same will apply to rhubarb. Subir-
rigate and do not let water stand
over the crowns.
Prune your grape vines now, and
spray at least twice. 1t is necessary
for the health of vines. A lime and
sulphur spray any pleasant day now
applied to your fruit trees will lessen
if not destroy many annoying insects
and will tone up your trees and give
vigor and life throughout the season.
Don't fail to give your orchard the
pruning necessary on apple, peach,
plum and cherry. The latter sparing-
ly.

Mr.. Trefz will reach Lamar at 1910

Missiles Thrown By Evangelist Mar
gets

A spinster, being asked why she had
never married, said, have a parrot
that swears, monkey that smokes,
and dog that fights. What do l
want with man? That is the idea
of manhood possesses by many men.
A wife has preferred claim on her
husbands time, money and affections.
The church is the one institut on
where father, mother and children may
unite for service for humanity and
self development.
The corrupt husband thinks it clever
to be a liar to his wife.
Cleaving to wife means more than
live with and support her. Slaves and
dogs may be content with the supply
ing of physical needs, but the heart
of the worthy wife Graves love.
The love of many wives has died of
starvation; never kiss or embrace of
real love. They tolerate such u hus-
band, but cease to love him
Before and after taking: Before
marriage husband is more considerable
of wife than are other men, after mar
riage he is less considerate. Result, a
change too in her.
Many husbands because they have
larger biceps intimidate wives. Even
prize ring ethics will not match the
strong against the weak, and never
match men against women.
1t takes more than a ceremony to
constitute marriage. Many so-called
wives have simply entered legalized
serfdom.
Many a fellow spends 10 cents a
day, $1,000 a year, for tobacco, yet
bowls like dog with a can tied 10 his
tail if wife spends S6.49 for an Easter
