CARRY ON

And so in the strife of the battle of life
It's easy to fight when you're winning,
It's easy to slave and starve and be brave,
When the dawn of success is beginning.
But the man who can meet despair and defeat
With cheer, there's the man Of Gods choosing,
The man who can fight to heavens own height
Is the man who can fight when he's losing.
Carry on! Carry on!
Fight the good fight and true;
Believe in your mission, greet life with cheer;
There's big work to do, and that's why you are
here.
Garry on! Carry on!
Let the world be the better for you;
And at last when you die, bet this be your cry:
Carry on, my soul! Carry on!
Robert w. Service.

WILL RATION FOOD
FOR GREAT BRITAIN
1 Compulsory System to Be
introduced.

London, Jan. 4.-Compulsory ration
ing is to be put into effect in England
soon. This was announced officially.
The food controller, Baron Rhondda,
said that his department had complet-
ed a plan of rationing, and that 1t
would be carried out as soon as the
sanction of the cabinet had been re-
ceived.
Adoption of the rationing system in
Britain is in line with the policy an.
nounced in the report of the Ameri-
can mission to Europe given out in
Washington. This stated that Great
Britain, together with France and
Italy, had agreed to put into effect
"a legalized and compulsory control
of foodstuffs."
In addition it meets in insistent do
mestic demand in Great Britain.
Much difficulty has been experienced
recently, chiefly among the poorer
classes, in obtaining supplies of some
articles Of food, due to faulty distri,
button. Provisional arrangements
were made soon after the beginning
of unrestricted submarine warfare
for the issuance of food cards, but the
plan was abandoned for the time on
account of the success Of the volun
tary rationing campaign.
The English labor unions have
made insistent demands for compul
sorry rationing, stating that the pres
ent system was unfair. At the labor
congress last week the government
was warned that crisis would arise
unless energetic measures were taken

the committee for examination The
investigation turned on the point
whether "shoddy," mixed with wool,

Mr. Driscoll agreed with previous
witnesses of the national coun.
ell of defense, that there was little
difference in effect, and that the cloth.

Shoe supplies and difficulty in fit

mer J. Bliss, shoe manufacturer,
and president Of the Boston chamber
of commerce, said shoe contract was
offered to his compA,y which it was
disinclined to take because of diff
ficult specifications. atagreed to make
the shoes as a pasriotic duty. No
contract was made.
Bliss said he was especially inter
ested in the question of fitting BY
investigation, he discovered the troops
really were not being fitted.
"Shoes were issued regardless OF
regulation" he said. He cited that
at Massachusetts camp S17 per cent
of the men were improperly fitted
with shoes up to three and onehalf
sizes too short, and went to Europe
with them. Bliss said he developed
a "fool-proof" device to insure proper
fitting, but ran up against "red tape"
Within ten days after he submitted
this device to the navy, Bliss said. 1t
was adopted for marines shoes, al.
though the war department has not
adopted it yet.
About 21,000,000 pairs of shoes, he
estimated, have been bought by the
war department without material
change in specifications since investi
cations showed an average of so per

$40 DORCHESTER PEOPLE
WILL PAY INCOME TAX
Federal Income Tax Officer Will
Come to This County TO Assist
Persons Subject to Tax.

In communication received by
this paper. Collector of Internal
Revenue, Joshua w. Miles, annorn-
ces that Federal income tax officer
will be sent into this county, and
will be located as follows: In the
postoffice of the following places:
Cambridge, Md. Jan. 25th to Feb.
23rd; Taylor's island, Feb. 25th to
Feb. 26th; Vienna, Feb. 27th to
March l, 1918.
He will be every day ready and
willing to help persons subject to
the income tax make out their re-
turns without any cost to them for
his services.
How many income taxpayers will
there be in Dorchester county? II
you can guess how many married
persons living with wife or husband
will have net incomes of $4,000 or
over and how many unmarried per
sons will have net incomes of S l,00u
or over this year, then you know.
The Collector of Internal Revenue
estimates that there will be SO tax
payers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro
1,~1918. Because a good many peo~
pie don't understand the law, and
won't know how to make out their
returns, the government is sending
in this expert to do it for them. But
the duty is on the taxpayer to make
himself known to the government.
If he doesn't make return as requir-
ed before March l, he may have to
pay penalty ranging from $50 to
1000. In such a case he also be-
comes liable to prosecution. to the
payment of a fine or to imprisOn-
ment but the Collector insists that
in the Maryland District taxes on
incomes made higher to carry on the
war will be cheerfully paid and there
will he no necessity for prosecutions
or the imposition of penalties.
Of course, persons resident in 9th
er counties may, if they want to,
come and see the income tax man at
the above locations.
The Collector suggests that ev-
erybody start figuring up now the
income and expenses so as to De
ready with the figures when the ex-
pert arrives. Expenses, however,
don't mean family expenses, money
used to pay off the principal of a
debt, new machinery, buildings, or
anything like that. They mean what
you spend in making your money
interest, taxes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent (ex-
cept for your dwelling), etc. Income
includes about every dollar you get.

STATEMENT OF
SECRETARY McADOO
Relating to The Practice of Mer-
chants Offering to Receive Liberty
Bonds i'm Payment For Merchan-
disc.

Secretary McAdoo today authori-
Zed the following statement:
1t has been brought to my at
tention that numbers of merchants
throughout the country are Offering
to take Liberty Loan Bonds of the
first and second issue at par, or even
in some cases at a premium, in eX
cfhange for merchandise. While l
have no doubt that these merchants
are actCated by patriotic motives,
am sure that they have failed to con-
slider the effect which the acceptance
of their offers would have upon the
situation We are making the
strongest effort to have these Gov
ernment Bonds purchased for per-
manent investment by the people at
large, to be paid for out of the past
or future savings of those who buy
them. Purchases thus made no.
only result in providing funds for
the uses of the Government, but they
also effect a conservation of labor
and material When the Bonds are
exchanged for merchandise, it de-
feats the primary object of their
sale, it discourages thrift and in
creases expenditures, thus deprivIns
the Government of labor and ma
terial needed for war purposes. In
addition to this, such bonds when
taken in exchange for merchandise
must in most cases be immediately
sold in the open market. This ma
turally tends to depress the market
price of the issue and makes it less
easy to sell future issues at the same
rate.
Il hope that the merchants of the
country, upon more careful con-
sideration of this subject, will dis
continue their efforts to sell mei-
chandise and take Liberty Bonds in
payment
