FOUR-MINUTE-MEN

The Four Minute -Men-those patriot
ic citizens who did yeoman service in
Liberty Bond campaigns-have joined
the army promoting the United States
War Savings movement.
The period from this until the 10Th
will be marked by an intensive cam
paign on the part Of the Four Minute
Men for spreading the gospel of Thrift
Stamps and U. S. War Savings Stamps.
Assistance of these men, however, will
be enlisted in some form or another for
the entire period of the War Savings
campaign.
In letter addressed to county chair
men of the -Four Minute Men organiza-
ton in Ohio, it is suggested that they
get in touch with the managers of mo-
ton picture theaterS in their county and
make definite arrangements for speak
ing engagements. They are advised to
take advantage of any public gathering
for the purpose of exploiting the War
Savings Stamps.
The Four Minute-Men are well crgan.
lied in most communities, there being
from 10 to 100 men accustomed to speak
ing in public places on behalf of govern
ment enterprises, all available for the
War Savings Stamp campaign. Their
efforts in previous government campaigns
have been highly productive.
r. III. Chapman, of the Citizens Bank
Co., is chairman of Mercer County's
Four Minute-Men organization.

WAS SURE Low
PROOF WHISKY

Here is a new one. A number of the
Youngstown saloonists are claiming that
their whisky is of such low proof that il
will freeze if it is not kept we'll warmed.
AS a result, during recent cold spell
they demanded coal for their places Of
business, and according to reports, sue
ceeded in getting it, despite the short
age that brought hardship to hundreds
of homes. The Youngstown Telegram
explains why the proof is reduced in the
following:
For whisky to freeze is new
thing to most persons, but that is
explained away by the saloonists,
who say-when the want coal
that on account of the var taxit has
beer necessary to reduIr the proof,
supposedly by the addition a lit
tie Water-somewhere al,ug the
line. The public had been led to
believe the increased price on whis-
Ky had covered the war tax, but
now it leaks out that the price boost
was not sufficient and so the proof
has been lowered.
The consumer is consequently
only asked to pay some 20, 80, 40 of
whatever per cent it is more than
than formerly for whisky that is 20,
80 or 40 per cent, maybe, weaker
than the old-tine kind with the
mule kick in il But for the cold
wave it is possible that the lower
proof Of whisky might not have
been discovered.

willing to Hclp persons subject to the in
come Iay make out their returns without
any cost to them for his services.
Every married person living with wife
or I1,. band who has a net income of
$1,000 or over, and every unmarried per-
son tt'.. has a net income of $1,000 or
over ,., yea" must make a report
Returns of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for the
purpose before March /, 1873. Because
a good many people do not understand the
law and do not know haw to make out
their returns. the government is sending
i'm this. expert to do it for them. But the
duty is on the taxpayer to make himself
known to the Federal government. If he
does not make return as required before
March /, he may have to pay a penalty
rangig from $50 to $1,000, pay fine or
go to Jail. If you are not sure about be-
ing subject to the tax better ask him and
make sure. Whether you see the income
tax man or not you must make return if
subject to tax
or course, persons resident in other
counties may. if they wish, come and see
the income tax man who will be here
The Collector suggests that every body
start figuring up now his income and ex
penses so as to be ready with the figures
when the expert arrives Expenses, how
ever do not mean family expenses, mon
ey used to pay off the principal of debt,
new machinery, buildings, or anything
like that They mean what you spend in
making your money-iterest taxes paid,
hired help, amount paid for goods sold,
seed stock bought for feeding, rent lex
cept for your dwelling), etc. Income in
cludes about every dollar you get.
