REVENUE OFFICIALS TO ASSIST
IN MAKING OUT INC0ME-TAx
PAPERS

Farmers all over the country are
making numerous inquiries about
their income-tax returns.
Men Of the field force Of the Bu-
reau Of Internal Revenue OF the
Treasury Department will visit
every county in the United States
during January and February. No
tice of their arrival will be given in
advance.
The services of these officials in
making out income-tax returns will
he given without cost TO all persons
requesting il. Failure TO see them,
however, will not relieve citizens Of
the duty imposed upon them TO file
their returns not later than March
I, 1918.
Questions as TO when farmer is
To- make his return Of the value OF
crops and stock, the relation of these
things to income, etc, and as TO en-
ployees and other matters, will all

FALSE STATEMENTS ARE
HARMFUL

The finances of the whole country,
public as well as private, by force Of
the national needs at this crisis are
subOrdinated and adjusted TO tho
great Liberty Loan. Financing by
railroads or other great industries
and all lesser private financing must
be considered primarily in relation
to the Government loans.
The needs of private interest, the
money necessities Of the business
of the country as we'll as that Of the
Government itself are all considered
by the Secretary of the Treasury in
fixing the amount and date of each
issue Of Liberty Loan Bonds, and
the effect of the issue of bonds on
all other securities and all other
loans is given due consideration.
The dissemination, therefore, OF
untrue information, even when made
in honest belief and with good inten-
tion, is harmful, and Secretary Nc
Adoo on December 20 issued the fol-
lowing strong statement:
THE report that the next issue OF
Liberty Bonds will be s8,OOO,OOO,00O
at AZ per cent and on March is,
1918, is wholly unfounded. I wish
| could make the patriotic news
paper men Of America realize how
mischievous and hurtful TO the in
terests Of the Country such specu-
lative statements are. When q de-
cision has been reached about the
next Liberty Loan, il will be Official
ly announced. Meanwhile, all other
statements and rumors may be dis
regarded"

WASTE is CRIMINAL


TO waste now is nothing short of
criminal" Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo.
The duty of the American people
To economic in consumption of food
and all other materials as well as
save money, can not be too often or
too strongly urged upon them. The
duty is so imperative, its observance
so vital to our Country's success,
that it should be kept constantly be-
fore them.
The proposition is plain and un-
derstandable. We have lessened the
productive powers Of the Country
by taking 100000 men away from
the productive forces of the Country;
instead of producers Of one kind or
another the soldiers are consumers
of the products of our farms, factor
les, and mines, and when the NUM-
tions they expend and will expend
against the enemy is considered they
are tremendous consumers Of the
manufactured products Of the Coun-
try.
A tremendous amount Of the
manufacturing energy of the Coun-
try has been withdrawn from manu-
featuring the things we use in peace
and put TO manufacturing the things
we use in war. The total loss to the
Country Of the productive energy of
our soldiers and sailors and the di-
version of a great portion OF the
other productive energy Of the Coun-
try TO war purposes lessen to a
great extent the amount OF material
and supplies produced by the Coun-
try.
To this condition Of lessened pro-
duction and increased consumption
OF and by our own men must be add
ed the extraordinary demand made
upon this Country 10 supply the
armies of our Allies and to a great
extent their population with food
and other material.
We must meet the condition that
confronts us in two ways-by the
strictest economy in consumption,
for every pound we refrain from us
ing adds a pound to be devoted to
the uses Of our Army and Navy and
the military forces Of our Allies;
and by speeding up our production
To the limit. The American people
are going 70 do all that they know tf
be necessary TO win this war - to
shorten this war. They have only
to realize the imperative duty OF
economy in saving and they will
economic and save.

TWO BITS A DAY CLUBS

out in Phoenix, Ariz., a movement
has been inaugurated for the forma-
tion Of "Two Bits Day" clubs, the
members OF which are TO buy a
quarters worth OF Thrift Stamps
every day. Three men each took a
hundred Thrift cards, pasted one
stamp in each card, and sold the en-
tire lot before two blocks had been
covered.
1.-TWO bits" is the old term, dating
back 10 the early DAYS Of the Coun-
try, for a quarter OF a dollar, and is
still used in the South and West.
Every patriotic American now wants
ITO do his Bit; the members OF these
clubs are carrying out this idea
finely in doing their "two bits" every
day. II is hoped that 1.-TWO Bits a
Day" clubs will be formed all over
the Country in the great warsaw

THE SOLDIERS TAKING GOVERN
MENT INSURANCE

That the wise and beneficent law
providing Government insurance for
the military and naval forces of the
United States is fully appreciated
by the soldiers and sailors of the
Nation is being every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg,
; c., during the month of-November
nearly 10000 applications were sent
to the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance: II per cent Of these was for
the maximum amount OF $4,000, %
per cent was for 5000, and 6 per
cent was for lesser sums. In sixteen
companies every single man applied
for insurance; in units, 3 Of them
full companies, every man applied
for the maximum of $4,000.
A spirited campaign Of education
has been organized and is being con-
Quoted TO furnish full and thorough
information Of the workings Of the
law to those coming under the pro-
visions. and il is believed that the
great benefits of this wise and hu-
name provision for soldiers and sail
ors of the United States and their
dependents will be availed Of by
practically all Of our fighting men.
At the close Of the business day
OF December 90 the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance had received appli-
cations TO the number Of 272,i22, ag-
gregating s2.359, iO2, 900 of insurance.

Camp Taylor, Ky, Jan. 3. 1918.
Let me thank you for the Christ
mas present you gave me, The Citi-
zen, which ] appreciate more than
anything | could have received.
Monday | received the first copy.
Il was the best letter | ever receiv-
ed, with news Of the College, as a
whole, and the names Of so many
former students Of Berea whose
whereabouts | am glad 10 know. and
shall be pleased TO drop a line 10
some Of them who were my class

OF the list Of these who are in the

sorry to note that a number Of them
are now in France, but sooner or

ed to great extent, except lectures
and signal drill inside Of quarters.

Uncle Sam is losing no time in
the great task Of training an army
To- defend our country, a thing the
Kaiser said we could not do. But
now he is being awakened to the
rapid progress with which ii is be-
ing done.
II is no pleasant task. but know
ing it is our duty. we submit readily
to our orders with the thot Of the
day when on our return we will see
the beckoning light of America, and
OF the reception which we know will
be waiting us that will mark the
completion Of our mission.
May | add that despite the mo-
uotony Of camp life, the camp rang
with song and cheer and we were
made to enjoy Christmas by the re-
membrance Of our many friends
who sent us presents and Christmas
cheer.
The boys were more anxious 10
open their packages received from
Red Cross societies and other wom-
ems organizations than little child
ren are when st. Nicholas comes;
partly for the contents, but more for
the address Of some lady in Maine,
Oregon, or other state. Some pack
ages contained nice letters address,
ed to "A Soldier Boy" others were
written as tho to some soldier in

We had a nice Christmas dinner,
and all went well.

SOME POINTS Tu
KEEP IN MIND

We are proud. immensely proud.
of the fact that the establishment
OF American ideals has made the pri-
mary purpose Of the war. and that
they are to be the essential princi-
pies Of peace We are proud that 1t
was given to Us to become the de-
Gliding factor in the glorious conclu-
sion. But we must remember that
we have but shaded in the work.
We must not detract one whit from
the splendor Of other achievements.
We must not forget that each and
every nation has played It's part mob
~ in the struggle. We must not for
get the tremendous sacrifices besides
