WAGE GAIN In
FIFTEEN YEARS.
Employees of Valley Railways
Company Now Paid Three
Times the Old Rate

Lcmoyne. April 7.-Motormen
and conductors employed by the
Valley Railways Company at the
present time are getting thirty-one
cents an hour, which is more than
three times the wages of an EN-
rloye fifteen wears ago, an old road
man said to-day.
While the wages are increasing,
the employe declared. the work Is
waning. In giving a brief history of
conditions in the last fifteen years
the employees said:
When 1 first came on the road,
about fifteen years ago, we were
given ten cents an hour. After work
ing twelve hours, for which we re-
Ceived S1.9O. we were compelled TO
repair, clean and see that the car
was in condition for the next day.
After making a days run with
the car We took it to the car barn.
Here we donned overalls, swept the
cars, washed windows. oiled and
made all necessary repairs 10 the
machinery except the motors. For
this work we were not compensated.
Sometimes we spent as fully as three
hours on our cars after working
full day on the road. Now all a
man is compelled to do is TO so to
the barn, get his car and return 1t
after the days run. He Is not even
compelled to sweep it.
Wage increases came gradually
the employe continued. About ten
years ago we received fourteen
cents an hour and since that time
wages have been advanced until the
present scale has been reached. At
the same time we that have been
getting more money have been given
less work"

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most eX-
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
TO handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
Q a . TO RIA
About Income Taxes.

Ii a communication received
by this paper, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, Frank B. Niles, an
nouhces that federal income tax
officer will he sent into this coun-
ty on January 2, 1918, and will
be here until January 10, 1918.
He will have his office in Post
offie in Greenville. and will be
there every day ready and will
ing to help persons subject to the
income tax make cut their re-
turns without any cost to them
for his services.
Every married person living
with wife or husband who has a
net income of $4,000 or over, and
every unmarried person who has
a net income of $1,000 or over
this year must make a report.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before
March l, 1918. Because good
many people do not understand
the law and do not know how to
make out their returns, the gov
ernmeht is sending in this expert
to do it for them. But the tduty
is on the taxpayer to make him
self known to the government.
If he does not make return as re-
quired before March l he may
have to pay a penalty ranging
from 500 to 81, 900, pay a fine or
go to Jail. If you are not sure a.
bout being subject to the tax,
better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax
man or not, you must make re-
turn if subject to tax
Of course, persons resident in
other counties may, If they wish,
cone and see the income tax man
who will be at Greenville.
The Collector suggests that ev-
erybody start figuring up now his
income and expenses so as to be
ready with the figures when the
expert arrives. Expenses, how.
ever, do not mean family expen-
ses. money used to pay off the
principal of a debt, new machin.
cry. buildings, or anything like
that. They mean what you spend
in making your money-interest.
taxes paid, hiled help, amount
paid for goods sold, seed, stock
bought for feeding, rent (exceLt

Crop Conditions.

The condition of wheat shows
a decline Of two points since re-
port of one month ago. AS indi-
Gated in the last report, much of
the wheat that had been seeded
late failed to get a vigorous start;
in fact, the plant in some fields
was barely perceptible. This
was accounted for by the great
lack of moisture required to send
the plant rapidly forward. These
conditions prevailed to a very
great extent when the cold wea-
'ther set in. The fact that there
has been 70 alternate freezing
and thawiEg is favorable to the
plant, and that which has made
little or no appearance may be
protected at the roots and shoot
forward in the spring. Another
condition favorable to the wheat
in general is that preceding tire
zero weather of December a good
covering of snow fell, thus ar-
forcing protection that will be of
great benefit.
AS stated in previous reports,
corn was late IN maturing, was
damaged by frost and wet wea-
ther, consequently a great deal
was understandable and will be
fed. Where the greatest care
was not exercised in sorting for
the crib, the result is shown in
the appearance of mcld, which is
having its effect in reducing the
general condition of corn in the
crib, the estimate now showing
81 per cent of an average as com
pared with 80 per cent one wear
ago. Corn fodder was greatly
damaged, much so badly rotted
IS to become worthless for feed,
The greatest care should be ex-
9rclsed in the selection of seed
'orn. The testing of all ears
should be carefully and system
'tlcally done. Seed corn is 90
ng to be very scarce and high.
The condition of live stock is
generally good. Owing to pas
ure beng short last fall some
re going to market in an unfin |
shed condition.
