FEDERAL INCOME TAN

Just now everybody from business
man to farmer is worrying over MAX
ing out his federal income tax report.
Every person whose net income after
paying necessary expenses, amounts
to $1,000 if single or $4,000 if married,
must make return on blanks furnished
by the collector of internal revenue,
before the first Of next month"; though
the tax need not be paid until the first
OF June. The tax is two per cent on
all incomes amounting to $4,000 or
less. Partnerships or firms includ-
ing more than one member are not
liable for this tax, but the individual
members are liable for their portion
of the net income of such firms or
partnerships. Not having received
blank does not relieve person of the
duty OF making this return. 1t is up
to you to secure the necessary blank
and make the required returns. Fail
ing to make return or making false
returns lays one liable to a fine of
$4,000 and not to exceed one years
Imprisonment, besides having to pay
the entire tax levied

fairs.
This financial situation, as was
stated before, is of greatest import
ance at this time and members of the
legislature already are studying and
their advice has been sought in work
ing out plans to meet it.
There has been some misunder-
standing as to the bill which will per-
nit the manufacture of skim milk
cheese as a war measure. This legis-
lature, as contemplated by those mem
bers who will support it, merely will
legaliZe the use of a creamery by
product which is of great Importance
to the continued success of that in
dustry. The argument has long been
made and successfully defended by the
dairy industry in the state that the
manufacture Of a skim milk cheese
which would resemble a full cream
cheese, would injure the standard of
Wisconsin cheese III the foreign mar
kets, that is the market outside Of the
state. The legislation proposed will
permit the manufacture Of this by
product into cheese only with the pro-
vision that it be placed upon the mar
ket in form which will not resemble
the full cream cheese and may not be
confused with it by INSCRIPTIONS
dealers. The bill will provide for the
proper branding of the skim milk
cheese, also, SO that the consumer will
know when he buys the product that
it is skim milk cheese and nothing
else. The use of this by-product to
add to the food supply of the nation is
recognized in Washington.
The special committee which was
appointed by the governor to draft
the amendments to the drainage law
included in the call for the special
! session will begin its work in Madi-
son this week.

WHY?


Pugilists aid more than chaplains in the big
army camps, is the headline in Chicago paper
featuring an address, delivered last Sunday night
at the Chicago Sunday evening club, by Raymond
Fosdick, head of the commission on war camp
training activities.
"a right hook to the jaw and the merry roar
OF Goodbye NAV, goodbye paw, goodbye mule
with your old hee-haw,' have a greater moral
effect than the teachings of the army chaplain
are the words credited to Mr.. Fosdick.
We don't believe he ever said it, at least not
in that form, or without some significant quail
fcations It would be too crude statement from
man charged with SO wide national ministry
as he.
Why compare pugiism with religion? Why
set right hook to the jaw in sharp contrast to
the consultations of the Christian faith? There
is room for both in our great national army
Both do vital service.
But if we were compelled to choose between
the two, most of the army lads would prefer al
legiance to the church and to it's Christ Make
no mistake about that.
1t reminds us Of the statement made by an
atheist that the man who invented Illuminating
gas has done more for the world than all the
churches and preachers of all ages. Quick as a
flash came back the answer from man in the
audience L presume if the speaker were dying
he would Immediately send for the gas filter,
but as for me, would send for minister and ask
him to read to me from the 18th chapter of St.
John, Let not your heart be troubled: believe
in God, believe also in Me. In My Fathers house
are many mansions: if it were not so l would
have told you for go to prepare place for you.
And if l go and prepare place for you come
again, and will receive you unto Myself; that
where | am, ye may be ALSO" american Yer
sion.)
There was no answer. There is none Gas
filters and preachers, pugilists and chaplains
have their places, and there should be no room
for invidious comparison. But if there is to be
a comparison, the world will not make it in favor
of the sawdust arena as against the church,

big subject is it not? Yes, one that the best
minds of ages have given their deepest thought
to. Our prOgenitOrs have worked on this almost
vain quest and passed on into dust leaving a
slight legacy of knowledge Superstitions have
come forward and flourished for years but in
evitably been stricken down. For centuries little
progress was made. At least we know that the
world woke up about fifty years ago and began
to make stern battle against wrong living and
wrong thinking. We of this, but future genera
tions more SO, are to reap the harvest of this
greatest of all great revolutions
We now know more of our bodily chemistry
than we ever knew before. Laymen now have
greater knowledge of medical science than the
profession did fifty years ago. This is necessary.
It, is imperative that all should know the laws
of life rather than few, if we are to make any
real progress.
We know that fresh air is essential both
day and night.
We know that coddling the body is infinitely
more dangerous than exposure.
We know that alcohol and drugs are positive
destroyers of nerve and physical fibre.
We know that bodily functions are best main
tanned through hygiene instead Of medicine.
We know that intelligent surgery will correct
defects where drugs are snares and palliatives
We know that clean living and clean think
ing conduce health immeasureably.
We know something of dietetics and can select
foods that will keep us fit physically without
breaking down the body metabolism
We know that meal spared is far better than
a meal too many
We know something Of oral hygiene and how
essential it is to keep the mouth and teeth in
aseptic condition.
We know that 90 per cent Of the stupidity
and illnesses among our children is due to nose
and throat defects. We know that these may be
corrected if we act in time.
But best and greatest of all we have found
that natures penalty for infringement on her
laws is certain and sure. We know that ignorance
Of the laws of life lead us to every pitfa we STUN
BILE in.

ROOSEVELT-A GREAT MAN

Anxiety over the condition of Roosevelt
changed to grief when false report came Of
his death. Most happily we find that this report
was untrue.
Roosevelt is a great American. HIS life has
been cast in great places but still he remains
common and sincere.
Roosevelt is admired most of all for his alb
solute fearlessness and straight from the should
err utterances. In 1916 he alone dared to tell
this country just what Prussianism meant
Others pussyfooted.
Roosevelt is patriotic. He has not played
politics in this war although many of his enc
mics have. The ki-yi element of the democratic
press have assailed him at every opportunity
playing politics in the most petty, despicable way
Assuming Theodore to be the ex-officio leader
of the Republican party today why should not
he be entitled to the degree of respect accorded
any leader of great patriotic party? Not that
it bothers Teddy-he eats it. If he lives-watch
him. -ooo-
A good many of us will feel satisfied if we
can creep along until spring and nice weather.
if that ever arrives.
The kaiser being the best or worst hated man
in the whole world why not lay the long and cold
winter on his shoulders?
-OOO-
Washington back-scratchers are hard at work
combing John M. Nelson. 1t is a pitiful spectacle
to see politicians whitewashing each other
Election is coming-the people sometimes have a
memory.

BRINGING 1T HOME

Our volunteer company is food for the fishes
So Grant county thought for an awful day
For nearly twenty-four hours this commun-
ity stood aghast. We thought one and all but
hoped and prayed that it was not so, that our
volunteers 1.-THE Salt Of the Earth had per-
ished. During this time men cursed and women
wept. But down deep in every heart stole the
awful lesson of war.
Then came the rift in the clouds and we
learned that the disaster while grave had not
wiped our company from existence without a
single chance for return blow. We breathed
again. Awful as this lesson was it has not been
without it's good side. 1t has taught us the
treacherous truth of our foe and how unsparing
and cruel he is. 1t has opened the eyes Of many
who refused to see before, just who and what we
are opposing:
Let us not forget this lesson.

OUR THANKS TO THEM

How many of us realize the very important
work being done by our county exemption board
How many Of us realize that this board has
worked since last May almost without Interrupt
ton, many times until late at night, as patrio-
tic duty and entirely without pay.
There is probably no more important work
being done in the country than this board is do
ing. Their responsibilities are huge and upon
their shoulders rests the part this county will,
to large extent, play in this war.
The people Of Grant county should apprec-
late the work its board has done. The press of
the county can tell them of it,

CZERNIN'S FRATERNAL KISS

Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for President
Wilson received the German governments bless
ing in advance declares Vorwaerts the Berlin
socialist daily The kiss" was the Austrian
counts proposal that Vienna and Washington
should discuss terms of settlement. The pan
Germanists are making a great uproar about it,
as though it were honest evidence that Austria
is seeking independence of action and may break
with German. But the pan-Germanists must
cover their own indignation. It is essential to
the success Of their plans that the people should
get the impression they are not really succeed
ing. And Vorwaerts sees clearly through the
game. The socialist newspaper knows that Wen
ma is merely playing the role assigned to her by
Berlin. Czernin's "fraternal kiss" is Judas kiss.
It is an effort at betrayal.-Chicago Post.

TWO DOLLARS AND WHY

1t used to take five or six bushels Of corn to
pay years subscription to the Herald at ST.,
or six or eight pounds of butter, twenty
pounds of chickens, or five six bushels of oats,
or half cord of wood or from half ton to a
ton of coal. None of you fellows in the county
want to give us "swap" like that, today do you :?
No; that's why SO many papers are going to So.

Our legislature will be in special session soon.
We hope that it will meet war issues boldly and
in the right way. The conduct of the legisla-
ture last winter on war issues was not one that
Wisconsin could be proud Of. Everyone knows
this. The Herald hopes Grant county's represen-
tatives will take courageous, ouc-spoken stand
If they do we will gladly applaud them. If they
do not we will have something to say about
that too.

II you own an egg-iJ is up to you. Every man is tbe keeper of his own conscience, and he will haveto settle the question for himself He acan list that egg under the excess profit act, he can bank it, or he can go plumb crazy and eat it. Along about Christ mas times there were people who haG the eggs and the nutmeg and the su gar, but they worried about the some thing else. If they wanted to make the same thing now they would have a real worry coming about the egg.
 And to think" commented Ed My CTS, manager of Goodwin & Jean, who had been trying to get a farmer to sell him a few cases of the fruit at S20 each. 'I know of an egg buyer who one day became incensed because he lost on a car of eggs and jumped in box and tromped on several hundred Eggs were worth about seven cents a dozen then. We lynch people for less than that now"
 ''It is time the hens were beginning to lay" continued Mr. Myers, "but this weather has evidently made way with the hens, too, for they are higher than I have known them 10 be before.

ALDERMEN FROM EIGHTH AND NINTH WARDS VOTE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF QUESTION

The city council, by vote of II to 7, agreed to submit to popular vote the question of whether "jitneys" shall be permitted to run in the city. Al dermen Brickhouse and Isgrig of the Eighth and Bradley and Streepey of the Ninth, voted for the submission resolution, which was introduced by MT. Brickhouse after the council had defeated, by a vote of to 9, a test proposition for the passage of .'jit- ney' ordinance. The resolution as adopted follows;
 Resolved, That the question, shall the City Council grant franchise, un- der certain regulations, for the opera ton of iitneys on Main street and other streets for a term of years be submitted to the people, the election to be called within 40 days from date."
 The resolution was vetoed by Mayor Taylor as vague and indefinite He says he will agree to submit com plete ordinance, if the council insist, but he considers that an unnecessary shifting of responsibility.

AS PRICES ASCEND
 THEY BUY MORE
EVERYBODY WEARS SOCKS NOW THAT DIME SELLERS HAVE DIS APPEARED AND WOOL RE-
 PLACES COTTON.

The higher goods go the more peo- pie want to buy" remarked E. Less of E. Less & Co.,, Monday morning. When socks sold for 55 and 50 cents a dozen and retailed for 10 cents, our customers came in and bought them in half a gross lots. Now the same socks sell for about double and they want two or three gross at a time. There is no way of figuring out market when the people act that way When you expect them to kick on the price and not buy, they realize that they must take the goods if they want them ,and they try to get more than you can afford to sell. You sell today and tomorrow you buy and pay more than you sold the goods for''
 MT. Less exhibited in making his ar gument pair of stripped cotton hose. They were not the kind so frequently seen on the counters of the stores where 10 cent half hose are sold--at least they were not exactly the same, for while the material had not chang ed, there was color and much of it. The old mottled shade had given way to stripes, red and white, blue and white, and a neat blending of green and brown.
 This is not new style," comment ed MT. Less. Ut may look like it to. the buyer of today, but the merchant who has been in business for many years will recognize an old timer come back. When I was boy the stripped socks were popular, but they went out and I thought we would never see them again. Lots of people dlG not wear seeks when they were so cheap, but you bet the boys will wear them now. Instead of passing them up when they get more expensive. they wear them. You cannot count on a market that is based cal such loaic."
