AZTEC FORESTS
(Peruvian Poem.)

 o forest of my fathers. deity To whom the Incas and the Aztecs bowed I stand and greet you from the shining I to you and feel my soul free Behind me lies the stress of modern ways: l have become for very sight of you Like of your wise tribal patriarehs, Who slept of old upon your tender grass, And drank the milk of goats and ate their bread Sweetened with honey of the forest bee. I look you and I comforted, For the thick ranks of all your tufted trees Recall to me how centuries ago, With twice ten thousand archers at my heels, I led the way whither the mountains smoke. And lift their craters from the shores of lakes, And how at length I wandered to the realm Of the great Inca Yubanqui and went Following him upon the mountain tops, Down to ATauco it's peaceful slopes. And rested in tent of condors wings. I look you and I comforted, Because the centuries have marked me out To be your poet, and to raise the hymns Of joy and grief that in heroic dawns The Cuzco smote upon his Tyre of stone Legends of Aztec emperors and songs Of bold Palenkes and Tahuantsuyos, Vanished like Babylon from off this earth Here in your presence, with your savage spell Leaping in all my veins, the centuries Lift like vision from the abyss of time And pass before in unfadng youth.

 translated by J. P Rice, for Poetry.

The Warren district chose to avoid the evil by exrpating the of it. and risk the inflction of the penalty for summary procedure

Small groups of l. w. w. within the last three four years had been forci3y expelled from various communities. They had been driven out of San Diego and had been threatened with death if they should return. Elsewhere western communities had freed themselves of this dangerous social growth.

 Don't you think it would be of some help to take up the matter of road flooding throughout this valley with the proper authorities? The writer in driving about fifteen miles in the coun- try yesterday Sunday, May 12) en- countered no less than eight different sections of the country roads that were either running in water or had been flooded. and for no apparent reason, other than carelessness or negligence. It is pity, with the present short age of water in the dam that the water is wasted, and more than wasted by flooding and destroying the roads, to say nothing of having to drive through the mud holes with a clean automobile believe by giving these matters proper publicity that it will do a great deal toward lessening this evil on the part of ranchers and ditch men in this valley.

Kiss Under the MiStletoe.

The mistletoe was held in great
reverence by the Druids. 1t was be-
lieved to be particularly and divine
ly healing;;1 in fact it was given this
attribute for centuries. 1t had special
significance as the cause of the death
of Bladder, the Morse Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from its
branches. SIS
Subsequently Bladder was restored to
life, the mistletee tree was placed I'M
der the care of Frigga, and from that
time until it touched the earth was
never again to be an instrument Of
evil.
The present custom of kissing un-
der the mistletoe is the outcome Of an
old practice of the Druids. Persons of
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave each other the
kiss of love and peace, in full assur-
ance that, though it had caused Bal
ders death, it had lost all it's power
of doing harm since his restoration.

Happiness.

The true happiness is of retired
nature, and an enemy to pOmp and
noise; it arises, in the first place, from
the enjoyment of ones self and in the
next, from the friendship and CONVEX
sation of a few select companions; it
loves shade and solitude, and naturally
haunts groves and fountains, fields and
meadows; in short, it feels everything
it wants within itself, and receives no
addition from the multitudes Of wit
nesses and spectators. On the con-
trary, false happiness loves to be in a
crowd. and to draw the eyes of the
world upon her. She does not receive
satisfaction from the applauses which
she gives herself but from the admi-
ration which she raises in others. She
flourishes in courts and palaces, thea
tiers and assemblies, and has no exist
ence but when she is looked upon

WHAT THUMBS ARE WORTH
Digit Is Estimated TO Represent Fully
One Third OF the Total Value
Of the Hand.

One has only to grasp pen or @
tool OF some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value in regard to their use
fulness in performing work. The most
important, states Il writer, is the
thumb, for without it Selling or hold
ing would be very imperfect. The
hand is no longer pincers, but merely
a claw, when deprived of the thumb.
1t may be estimated that the thumb
represents fully a third of the total
value of the hand. The total loss Of
the thumb is estimated by competent
authorities as Is to 35 per cent for the
right and 10 to Is per cent for the left
hand, except for workers in art, when
40 to 80 for the right and 25 to 40
per cent for the left hand comes near
er the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at from
10 to 25 per cent for the right hand
and 10 to Is per cent for the left.
The middle finger is less important
than the index. The ring finger is
least important, and the little finger
may be compared to it's neighbor, eX-
cept in the professions in which it
serves ASA point of support for the
hand.

Next Comes Your Income Tax.

Every married person living with
wife or husband and having net in
come of $1,000, and every unmarried
person, not the head of family, hav-
ing a net income of $1,000 for the year
1917, must make return of the income
on the form to be prescribed and send
the same to Mr.. Williams office in
Madison after January first.
1t is announced as matter OF gem
eral information that "net income IS
the remainder after subtracting eX-
penses from gross income. Personal,
family or living expenses are not ex-
penses to be subtracted in the mean
ing of the law. Therefore, immediate
ly after the first of the year every per
son receiving blank from the office of
Mr.. Williams should Immediately en-
deavor to fill out the same and return
it as early as possible. Others who do
not receive blanks and who feel they
come under the federal income tax law
should write Madison to secure blanks
in order to make their returns. 1t will
be announced later in the newspapers

come tax men in each county who will
remain for stated periods to assist in

The new exemptions Of $1,000 and

number Of income taxpayers in this
district, inasmuch as practically every
farmer, tradesman, merchant. profess
sional man and salary worker and a
great many wage workers will be re-
CURED to make return and pay the tax.
The law makes it the duty of the
taxpayers to seek out the collector
Many people assume that if an income
tax form is not sent, or government
officer does not call, they are relieved
from making report. This is decidedly
in error. 1t is the other way around
The taxpayer has to go to the govern
ment and if he does not within the time
prescribed, he is violator of the law,
and the United States automatically
imposes penalties which no official has
the right to set aside.

Churches in Queer Places.

People at Tunbridge Wells, England,
rarely say that it is impossible to. be
in two places at one time. because if
they enter the beautiful old chapel Of
ease in their town they can stand in
two counties and three parishes. This
chapel stands partly in Kent and part
,ly in Sussex. This is how the prob
lem is worked out. When the clergy
man leaves the vestry he comes out
of the parish of Frant, in Sussex. II
he is going to5aoficiate at the altar he
walks into the parish of Tunbridge. in
Kent. If. on the other hand, he is go
ing to preach the sermon, he walks
from the parish of Frant to the parish
Of Speldhurst on the way to the pulpit.
In half minute he can enter the two
counties and the three parishes named.
The members of the congregation,
however, have to content themselves
by sitting in one county and one par
'ish like ordinary folk.
