BANK TO MOVE INTO
THEIR NEW BUILDING

The editor of The Republican is
in receipt of an invitation from the
officers and directors of the Peoples
State Bank of Guthrie Center, to
participate in the opening OF their
splendid new bank building, which
has just been completed. The grand
opening is to take place on next Sat-
urday afternoon and evening.
ID. L. Freeman and the writer had
the privilege of inspecting the new
building last Friday and We were
agreeably surprised to find it one of
the best arranged and modern bank
buildings in the state. The interior
decorations are magnificent, with
marble on the side walls and tile
flooring in all the rooms. No build
ing in the state of Iowa is more
complete in every detail and no town
in the state has reason to be prouder
of such building than Guthrie Gen.
ter. Former state senator F. M.
Hopkins is president and Will Hamil
ton is the cashier.
Hon. Frank Moore is at the head
of the Peoples Loan and Investment
Co., which will occupy the east half
of the room. The Republican con-
graduates the officers and directors
upon the success of their undertake
ing and we hope that The Peoples
State Bank may prosper in the fut-
ure as it has in the past.

REVENUE FEATURES.

The federal officers have submit
ted to the newspapers a statement
regarding the collection of war taxes
and amusement enterprises given by
social organizations. A careful read
ing article will give a thorough idea
of what organizations are liable to
tax for the preent and for the past
entertainments given since the law
was passed. The communication fol-
lows:
The local public apparently is not
familiar with the admission tax feat
ure of the War Revenue Act of Oct.
3rd, 1917. Excepting entertainments
conducted by organizations exclusive
ly educational, religious or chart
table, where an admission is charged,
each persion paying admission must
pay an additional su moi 1 cent for
each ten cents or fraction thereof
charged as admission. This the pub
lie must pay-not the promoter of
the entertainment-and no one con-
Quoting entertainments taxable as
above is permitted to display any
sign or convey the impression to the
public that the war tax is not being
collected. Theaters charging an ad-
mission OF not over five cents to any
one are exempt from collecting the
tax TO be exempt from collecting
the tax the funds must be administer
ed by and insure wholly to a society
al, religious or charitable. Persons
al. religious, or choritable Persons
admitted by complimentary ticket
must pay the tex.
Parties giving taxable entertain
ments must collect tax, secure the
proper form from the Collector of
Internal Revenue, and within thirty
days make return under oath and
remit the tax to him. Failure to do
so subjects one to severe penalties,
the least of which is an additional
payment of 200 per cent of the tax.
The entire country is now being can
vassed by Revenue Collectors whose
business it is to see to it that all taxes
imposed by the War Revenue Act of
last October are being properly col
lected and paid

BUY YOUR COAL NOW AND
HELP THE SITUATION LATER

A nationwide intensive campaign
of publicity to induce the early stor-
age of coal will be begun by the fed
eral fuel administration on June 8.
1t is to be known as Goal week, y
and will continue until June 8.
During May and June, every loyal
Iowan is called upon to adopt new
slogan-"Into the Bin
The greater Iowa association, hav-
ing complete its work in connection
with the third Liberty Loan, has TAX
en- hold of the campaign to put
Iowa coal into Iowa bins during the
month of May and June, and every
member of the organization has been
called on to act as personal agent
and campaign manager.
Iowa's normal production is about
seven million tons of coal but the
United States government has set
aside certain territory which in order
to be adequately supplied, means
Iowa's production must jump this
year to nine million tons. The as
sociation points out that this is a
physical impossibility unless every
loyal Iowan considers the appeal per
sonally and Immediately orders his
supply of coal for next winter.
At the present moment Iowa's
coal miners are not working full
time and some of them are not work
ling at all A few miners already
have left the state because there is
a great demand in other states anC
the mines are running on better time
The only way in which the con
sumers of coal in Iowa can help il
this important task is to place theil
orders at once for their next winter.
needs and thus enable the mines OF
Iowa Immediately to work to full ca
pacity. If this is done the miner!
will be better off, the consumers viii
avoid very probable coal famine
reyt winter, the railroad equipment
will be used at time when it is mos
available and will be released wher
it is needed for the movement o.
crops in the fall.
Therefore it is duty to your state
as well as a patriotic duty to your
nation-whether you be in the bust
ness of farming, or in the business o.
merchandising, or manufacturing, oil
any other business-to Immediately
communicate with your local Goa
dealer and place your order for the
coal you will need in your business
or in your home or both, during the
next twelve months.
Get your own coal Into the Bin"

of that institution.

the annual meeting of the Danish
Lutheran church, which is to be held

position in the church and he in

HENRY CLEWS TELLS
OF LIBERTY LOAN

The firm of Henry Clews & Co. of
Wall street publish weekly letter
on financial affairs and usually touch
upon the progress of the Liberty
Loan. Their reference to the clos
ing of the loan as given below will
prove of more than little interest
to the readers.
1.-The Liberty Loan proved hand
some success. 1t was heavily over
subscribed and the number of sub
scribers reached nearly 100000,
or considerably more than one-tenth
of our total population. The best
feature of the loan was not the over
subscription, but its extraordinary
wide distribution among the public.
Earlier loans depended much more
largely upon large individual sub
scribers and financial institutions.
Too great a proportion of the earl
Ter issues was taken by wealthy in
terests, and by the banks, whose
functions are best performed when
their resources are kept fulid and
not tied up in large blocks of secur-
tiles. however sound they may be.
From every standpoint it is desir-
able that the Liberty Loan be widely
distributed, such a policy being
sound financially and wise political
ly Recognition of this fact by the
banks and big leading institutions
partly explained the temporary tar
diness of subscriptions, which, how
ever. came in with a rush during the
last few days. The whole result is
decidedly stimulating. 1t proves
that our people are aroused to the
gravity of the war. and that they
are ready to freely give it their
moral and financial support, and that
the country has unbounded financial
resources for pushing the struggle to
a successful conclusion. 1t is stimu-
latirg TO the men who go to the front
an the German military leaders
must be dull indeed if they fail to
realize that America has come int,
the war with determination of pre-
serving freedom and destroying mil
itarism. What will Germany's pres
ent leaders think of President Will
sons request that he be given power
to draft an unlimited army and to
raise an appropriation of $16,000,-
600, 600?

BUYING LOTS OF LAND

Hans c. Hansen, who the past
year has established no mean rep
utation for himself as a dealer in
Iowa and Canadian lands, has rec
entity reversed his methods of doing
business. Formerly he used to put
forward his best efforts to selling
the fertile wheat lands in the far
north, this year, however, he is buy
ing all the land in the Standard dis
trict he can get hold of. He says
right now there is more money in
buying Canadian land than in sell
ing; not because anyone is selling
out at a loss, for in every case
where he has bought he has paid
the owner from one to five dollars
profit per acre on his land, but be-
cause prospects in Canada were new
err better. Everything points to a
bumper crop and with the present
prices such crops cannot help but
boom the land next fall.-Kimball-

TWO MORE BOYS ENLIST

Carl F. Christensen, of, Hamlin
and Leonard c. etersen, of Hayfield,
Mimi, who was working here last
year at the time of the registration,
have both volunteered their services
TO Uncle Sam, enlisting in the en-
cheering division. Both are fine
young men and were anxious to do
their share to help win the war.
They did not want to wait until their
turn came in the draft so enlisted at
this time. They departed Monday
afternoon for Camp Meade, Mary
land, where they will remain until
such time as they have completed
their training course, from whence
they will be sent to France.

carry out his original intentions.
He told us at the depot that he ex-
pected the release in few days and
hoped to make us a good visit on his
return from Berlin.
