man whose wife dies and who is
left with small children to support
upon a moderate income may also take
full exemption under the new tax law
and also claim $500 exemption for
esch of his children under eighteen.
The widower under the law Is
single man and must make tax re-
turn accordingly. Married men need
not file returns unless they are earn
ing $1,000 or more.
This is as much national obliga-
ton as the reporting for duty of man
drafted for service with the colors,"
says D. c. Roper, commissioner of in
ternal revenue. LAS 1t stands, it Is
much a matter of the man or wo-
mans own conscience. 1t is for him
or for her to determine just how far
he is liable to the tax. He must figure
his own income and If it reaches the
figures named in the law must make
faithful report upon it to the proper
authority.
"This tax is distinctly war meas
ure and will be in effect during the
war.
"This is a peoples tax-it reaches.
right down into the pockets of the
small wage Garner; it makes him q
partner in the job of winning the
war"

BRITISH BREWERiEs GET
NO AMERICAN WHEAT

None of the wheat imported to Eng
land in these days is sold to the brew
cries to be made into liquor. Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka, who,
recently was misguided as saying that
American wheat had been turned into.
beer in England, has corrected the
error. DR.. Sheldon points out that the
majority of the British want to close.
all the saloons, but the brewery poll
ticians have won out just as they have
done in this country. But the British |
Food Controller does not let them
have wheat to turn into beer. Wheat
is too precious as food.
DR.. Sheldon asserts we should savet
food while we are fighting for prohibit
ton. DR. Sheldon, in a recent letter
to Walter Burr, secretary of the Speak
ers Bureau of the State Council of
Defense, pointed out that the brew
cries and the Kaiser are in the same
class and that both should be defeatI
ed He called attention in his letter
that he has given his only son to-
fight for freedom and against the.
Kaiser.
All American wheat which now goes
to England is ground into flour just
as all the. wheat in America is now
ground into flour.

LIEUTENANT KELLY WRITES
S. S. Harvey.

Somewhere in France, Feb. IS.
Dear Sam.
Am quite well and still circulating
around France picking up the rudi-
ments Of the game. Spent twenty
four hours in Paris and found it
quite interesting; it is indeed a won
derful city, very modern, excellent
subways, and all of the conveniences;
also much statuary and notable build
ings, it is very beautiful, and the
greatest difference 1 noticed was the
absence of high buildings, five stories
is the limit and is a very sensible
arrangement. Have been in a Brit
ish camp and am with an Australian
division for a short time. Yesterday
inspected anti-gas appliances in the.
support line and likely will go to the
front line for further instruction.
Have seen a heavy battery in action
and also feet of planes go out for
observation; in fact there is consid-
cradle going on. though it all resem-
bles huge construction camp with
all kinds of work going on. There is
continual war of guns and occasion
al bursts of the Boche shells for var
iety, but will be away from the
scene of activity, shortly. Ruins are
the most common thing, the Boche
are quite active with their raiding
planes; heard some bombs but no one
gets "the wind up" 1 may become
more impressed when l see a few
dead men made out of live ones. but
any how this war is no joke Have not
received any mail, but there may be
some for me when 1 get back to our
camp.
Yours truly,
Carol.
With the letter was piece of red
paper, and on it written: "This is a
scrap of a Boche paper balloon sent
over the lines to spread peace propa-
ganda to the French citizens; brought
down by rifle fire in our back yard"

A ruthless beast is born instead.
The bars are down-the beast Is free
To roam at will on land and sea.

And see the helpless children drown.
And when the mothers scream in
pain
l laugh at struggles all in vain.

Have satisfied my hearts desire.
It's sweet to see men reel and choke
And fight against the deadly smoke.

And sometimes in a sheltered place,

All, then, feel a fiendish Joy,
And kill it quick, IL it's boy.

And in this pillage find delight.
