A very small but live boy applied to a great merchant for a job.
 The great man sized him up with twinkling eyes, for the one situation open needed a bigger parcel of human experience, and asked what position he wanted.
 "A chance to grow up in the busi- ness, mister"
 Well, we are more or less being. depopulated by the drafts. What is your motto, my son?"
 'The same as yours," was the ready answer.
 What do you mean?" asked the puzzled merchant

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 REPORTS TO BE MADE

Somebody is going to tell on you if you don't pay your income tax. Con gross has fixed it so that somebody must tell, whether he wants to or not.
 One section of the war income tax law, extensively comprehensive in scope, requires every person, without exception, and every corporation, part nership, association, and insurance company, iu whatever capacity acting, who paid $500 or more to another per son, corporation, partnership, associa- tion, or insurance company, as sal aries, wages, interest, rent, premiums, annuities, compensation, remuneration, emoluments, or other fixed or deter minable gains, profits, and income, to report the name and address of the person, corporation, etc., to whom the payment was made, together with the amount of payment, to the commis- sioner of internal revenue at Wash ington, using a form prescribed for the purpose-Form 1899, now to be had from all collectors offices. The forms must be filled out and returned on or before March 1, 1918, accompanied by Form 1O96, which is letter of trans initial and affidavit certifying the ac- curacy of Form 1899.

A "wHIzz-BANG" FROM EMPEY

"What is war; War is smashing the enemy, kill ing them, destroying them, wipng them out.
 "In few months long casualty lists will appear in the newspapers and in front of newspaper offices. Names of dear will constantly appear in these lists under the captions: Killed, Wounded Missing. HWe will read name in these lists and then in imagination, will the Atlantic and see what it means.
 "We are in France. It is night. We come to a ruined, sheldestrOyed village. In the red glare of bursting German shell see piles of broken bricks and stOne shattered walls and streets choked with scattered debris.
 ''We pass into field dotted with shell holes and huge piles of tossed up earth.
 Another shell bursts and in its blood red light we dark strange looking object in front of us It is artillery Timber and a gun, demolished by q shell. Dead men and horses lying around it. What is that shapeless object huddled against the hub of that spOkeless wheel? It is the mangled body of one of our bOys one of our Sammies perhaps our father, husband, brother, sweetheart. He is in the uniform of Uncle Sam. His name we read in the casualty list.
 Americans, if you want these casualty lists to lengthen day after day. week after week. month after month, year after year, just sit in idIeness.
 "But if you want to shorten them and see Sammy marching home with German helmet on his bayOnet, and Me und GOtt by the scruff of the neck get out and do your bit, and DO IT NOW"

NOT AFRAID OF COLD STEEL

In her younger days Eugenie, when empress of the French nation, was noted for her great courage, as the following incident proves.
 At brilliant dinner party some what tactless general told her majes- ty that women should not meddle in politics.
 "You know, madame" he said, "that politics lead to war, and if the worse came to the worst you would not have the nerve to face cold steel"
 "Would'nt I?" cried the empress. 'Tn show you!" And, snatching a large knife from the table, she inflict- ed deep stab on her arm.
 After that the general never broach- ed the subject of woman's lack of nerves again.

 Any of the residents of that rich and fertile tiOn, that have business at the county seat, must take vacation in order to be able to here and attend to it, although many are located close to the railroad in air line, that they able to the smoke of the Santa Fe trains and hear their whistles.

Profiteering-the very term is an abOminatOn. The spectacle of yultures feeding upon tremendous and unparalleled profits in a time of is hardly equaed by the horrors of war itself. American cap itaIists who are engaged in prOfiteerng should be cassed as traitors and treated such. When one thinks of this class of traitors it is with feeling akin to respect for Benedict Arnold. At least he never went around boasting of his patriotism.
 Congress should make possible far more rigOr- ous control of commodities by the government. It should remove the war tax on excess prOfits-at the same time removing the prOfits.-Trinidad Courier.
