CAR OWNERS JOY RIDING.

We are told that large number Of
cars in the country are totally disre-
garding the governments request to
use no gasoline on Sunday. One man
told the Reveille that at one place
last Sunday he saw FIVE cars whose
owners were simply joy riding These
car owners have had ample notice that
this is contrary to the governments
desire, and it would be good idea
to bring to bear little more force
than simply a request. When people
are too selfish to be patriotic they
should be made patriotic

most popular place in FL Paso for

The club is controlled by the war

CAMP THEATERS.

Well known actors and actresses,
including such performers os George
M. Cohen, Maude Adams, William
Faversham and others, are going to
do their bit by supplying stunts for
the soldiers in the army environments
and national guard camps. They are
back of the Smileage plan authoriz-
ed by the Secretary of War under
which entertainment of the very besr
kind will be supplied in the camps.
The government has already built
sixteen theaters in as many army

settings, lights and drops necessary
to a professional presentation of real
shows. Here are some of the Things

WATER POWER-USE IT.

(Passic, N. ]. Herald, Jan: 10, 1879
Little comfort is TO be extracted
from the information that hydraulic
energy equivalent to more than twice
100000 horsepower is left unhar'
messed in this country. The informa-
ton is not even new, so that the
reiterations of the facts work mainly
regrets; and few communities have
greater cause for such regrets than
the people of this State, whose un-
used water power could be made to
light every city and run every rail-
road within it's boundaries and turn
the wheels of industry besides. Too
great abundance of black coal has
made us careless of the white coal.
in which we are equally rich. 1t Is
to be hoped that the lessons of the
time will be deeply enough craven
on public memory to assure the ut
most possible development OF water
powers in all parts of the country
and particularly in New jersey
during the next decade. Every dis
abling law should be repealed and
enabling legislation passed as soon
as possible. Even a water monopoly
would be preferable to water waste
the former could be controlled.

MILITARY MORALS.

One of the uses of the proceeds Of
the Liberty Loan that will appeal
strongly to the great mass of Ameri-
can people is the care and attention
given to the moral welfare and pro.
lection of the American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American
Army and even now with some of the
armies of our allies the moral well
fare of the soldier was and is mat
ter largely ignored. In the German
armies provision is even made for
immortality.
1t is to the glory of American arms
and American national character that
of the men who wear the United
States uniform a high standard of
conduct is expected and demanded,
and provided for Kipling's Single

prototypes in the American Army.

FROM THE BUREAU OF INTER
NAL REVENUE.

If your income is taxable-and it
must be a modest one to escape taxa
ton under the War Revenue Act of
October 8, 1917-don't wait to be
notified that you must pay an income
tax. The Government is not requir-
ed to seek the taxpayer. The tax
payer must seek the Government.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue,
with the approval of the Secretary OF
the Treasury, has extended the time
for filing income and excess profits
returns from March / to April /.
1918. You may file your return any
time before April 1, but if you wait
until April 2, you are subject to a
fine of not less than $40 nor more
than $1,000 and an additional assess
ment of SO per cent. or the amount
of tax due.
Returns are required of every, un-
married person-man or woman =
whose net income for the calendar
year 1917 was $1,000 or more and Of
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more.
The rate Of tax is at least 2 per
cent. on net incomes of unmarried
persons in excess of $1,000 and on
net incomes of married persons in ex-
cess of $4,000. Payment must be
made on or before June Is, 1918.
The estimated revenue to be col
lected this year under the War Rev
enue Act is 2,500,000,000,- of which
$3.50, 100000 is in individual income
taxes. Last year 100000 persons
paid income taxes; this year it is es-
timated the number will be more
than 100000. If you are one o.
them, remember that your dollars
are for the support of the war. BY
promptly filing your return and
promptly paying your tax you are
helping the Government to early vic
tory. Pay your income tax in the
same spirit in which you bought
your Liberty bond. The proceeds are
for the same purpose-to make the
world safe for democracy.

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.


"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted cigarette

favorite brand have been shipped 70
France. There is something home.
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. "It's toasted" was the $50
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than year.

Rev. Richard Davis and Members of
Centennial Church:
Today is Sunday and it is cool,
cloudy and dreary, as it has been
raining all through the night. If the
weather clears enough we are going
to have our services in the grove of
the woods that surround us on every
side. We have not had a chaplain
in our regiment, so l have not heard
a sermon for a long time, that is,
not since l was at church before
left the states, so l am glad we are
going to have a chaplain with us all
the time, and l hope he will be a
preacher as you were, but personally
| do not think that can be. The chap
lain is our mail censor, and l hope
will soon get some mail from the
States, as l want to get letter from
the folks at home, as l have sent more
than thirty-five postal cards and let
ters home since l have been overseas
and | have received but one letter,
and that was sent to me from mother
when l was at Camp Upton but l had
left before the letter arrived. So 1t
was forwarded here and was more
than glad to receive some news from
home. l enjoyed my trip across the
Atlantic and the experience as well.
| will say that l was very much
pleased with what l saw of England,
although it did not seem as the dear
old United States, but France is a
very open country. The leaves are
getting their color and in a few weeks
the hillsides will be beautiful, And
as l behold them in wondrous color,
/ think of those lines in the first
verse of Whittier's poem "The autumn
days have come, the saddest of the
year, of wailing winds and naked
woods and meadows brown and scar"
One of the most beautiful things
of France is the music Of the church
bells, but there are many churches
whose bells will never ring again. In

must have been delightful beyond i'm
