TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF THE KNITTER
BY wynonah B. johnson
BY Wynonah B. Johns'


|. Thou shalt knit thy quota OF gar
ments and waste not thy time on trlVo-
lous auction, the best-seller, or the
deceptive bargin-counter. For the Sam
nv who doth fight for thee needth thy
handiwork that his days may be warm
in the trenches.
2. Remember the Red Cross words of
instruction on the printed leafet, and
keep them strictly, for many have
labored to print out for thee the words
for thy direction and guidance.
8. Thou shalt not construct sock
unlike unto anything that be in the
heavens above, or the earth beneath, or
the waters under the earth, and then
expect rhapsody from the soldier, for
he doth yearn for regulation sock of
the requisite shape.
a. Thou shalt not discourse contln-
uously of purls and turns to thy help
mate when he doth regain the bosom of
his family after tedious days strug-
giles with his occupation, for thy hus-
band would fain occasionally hold forth
on government ownership, the willy spy,
the submarine mishaps, and sundry
subjects.
5. Many hours shalt thou labor and
knit on thy helmet, but when thy
husbands meal-hour doth draw nigh,
thou shalt lay aside thy gaudy bag, and
concoct the savory stew, or if it be thy
meatless Tuesday. embeNish the ruddy
lobster. For thy husband hath toiled
long to wiring sustenance from his native
land that thou mayst have thy requisite
hanks, and his meal hours should thou
keep inviolate.
6. Honor thy husbands socks. and
leave them not undarned whilst thou
constructeth foot gear for thy khaki
heroes, that his voice be not raised in
grievous protest.
Z. Thou shalt not squsnder thy hus-
bands patrimony for thy wool, for he
wilt not hold thee Hooverizing if thou
spend it all, and givest not up thy pin
money.
8. Thou shalt not leave thy shining
needles carelessly on thy helpmate's
easy chair for thy helpmate to sink onto
and rise in haste therefrom.
8. Thou shalt take heed that thou
droppeth not stitches Ger the landscape
whilst knitting thy wristlets and stimuli
taneously endeavoring to carry on
animated converse, which is impossible
for the novice.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris novel knitting-bag, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's gold tipped needles,
nor thy neighbor's deftness, nor the
ease with which thy neighbor doth knit
whilst listening to the Orpheum
witicisms.

. Newspaper story relating to new
regulations under section twelve
is absolutely erroneous. Old reg
ulations did not prohibit gift of
liquor to soldiers except within
zones around camps. New regu-
lations prohibit furnishing liquor
to zones. This is great exten
sion of the field of prohibition with
respect to soldiers over that es-
t,blished by the former regula-

No subterfuge to evade new regu-
lations will be tolerated. Give

GOVERNMENT TO
REFUND TEN MILLION
Supreme Court Decision Against In
come Tax on Certain Stock Divi-
dends.

Washington, D, c., Jan. 12-The
treasury department will refund up
wards of ten million dollars collected
partment as income tax on stock div
was interested. The collector held
S165,000 stock dividends instead of
idends. This comes following the de-
cision Of the United States supreme
court in the case o. Towne VS., Eisman,
the latter being collector of internal
revenue for a new York district.
Mr., Towne received before 1916,
cash from a corporation in which he
that he was liable for an income tax
on this money since it had taken the
place of cash income. Mr.. Towne en-
ployed former Justice Hughes and
combatted the ruling on the ground
that the stock dividends were paper
and additional stock, and not in the
same category as cash. The supreme
court held with him.
The effect Of this decision will be far
reaching, because it means that stock
dividends declared prior to January l.,
1916, cannot be taxed, and in instan-
ces where taxes were paid the govern
ment will refund the money collected.
Again, many people did not pay
when advised by counsel, but reported
that they were ready to pay The va
rious aspects Of the decision must be
worked out. All taxes collected on
dividends collected prior to January 1,
1916, will be refunded as rapidly as
possible, such taxes having been paid
in fact under the act Of 1913, which
was the first income tax law. II is
thought that later amendments make
stock dividends taxable under the in
come tax law

HAYWOOD CO. SOLDIERS

We would like each week to publish
in this column news of the Haywood
county boys who are in the different
camps, and if relatives of the boys
will phone 220 of news they receive
the columns will be of interest, as ev-
eryone is anxious to hear of all Hay
wood county boys who have joined the
colors.
Private Richard Landlord, Battery
D, ia Field Artillery, Camp Sewer,
Greenville, S. c., is at home this week
on furlough, and is looking well and
says he is well pleased with army life.
We understand that a cablegram
was received Tuesday by Mrs. Battle
Malone in Memphis, that DR.. Malone
and his unit had arrived safely "some-
where in France" This unit includes
ten of our Haywood county boys and it
is relief to know that they made the
voyage safely.

Wis, which was dated about December

Somewhere" in France. He has
learned to speak French quite fluently
but with all that, his commanding Of
ticer told him he ought to be at home
playing marbles. Williams ambition
now is to be transferred to the avia-
ton corps as bookkeeping does not
seem to be a real soldiers job. He
seems to be delighted with everything
in France. Even the French maidens
he says are bewitching.
Lieut., Dan Bonner, who is stationed
ia Nogales, Arizona, writes that he is
delighted with the warm climate OF
that section. He also stated that he
had participated in few skirmishes
with the Mexicans.
