This clause provides that all en-
ployers who have employees earning
$500 a year or more, must file with the
income tax inspector list of his or
her employees, giving name. address
ard salary and whether employee is
married or single. These returns must
be made before March /, or the en-
ployer will be subject to prosecu-
ton, same as those who seek to avoid
the income tax law. Although the gov
eminent gives the employers until
March l to make these returns, the
authorities are asking as special
early as possible. This task is a
small one for most employers, but in
factories, where several hundred to
thousands of men and women are en-
ployed, the task becomes big one.
All single men with an income of
$1,000 or over and all married men
with incomes of $4,000 Or over are
subject to the income tax, and have
been requested to call at their earliest
convenience at the tax collectors

what tax they wifi be expected to pay
and will be instructed in making out
their returns properly.

MAKE CONyICTS FISHERMEN.

Jefferson City. Mo.-A. c. McKibbin,
secretary of the Missouri highway
board, has taken up with the federal
food administration the ACCESSIBILITY Of
Of feeding the people largely on fish
as means Of saving beef and pork
during the war.
He has suggested that the convicts
in state penitentiaries be utilized in
fishing, catching all classes of fish
except game fish from the several
streams. He would have them take
rough fish, such as gar, carp, buff
falo and catfish with such other fish
as feed upon fish eggs or small fish.
He figures that fish could be caught
in that way and sold at 5, to 5 cents
a pound.
He suggests that fishing stations be
located on rivers near railroads so
that the fish may be transported to
market easily

FOOD DIRECTOR EXPLAINS PLAN

/. Grocers in general in Rock Island
county are living UP to the schedule
fixed by the county Interpretation
board.
There was the reply made today by
NJ. o. Griswold, county food director,
to rumors which had been current
that many business houses were
charging in excess of the prices sug-
gested by the board.
Mr.. Griswold in a statement to re-
porter declared that there is no COM
pulsion upon the grocers ito keep
their prices within the schedule. He
declared, however, that the quotations
are SO fair and Just to both retailer
and consumer that in the event any
consumer should find a grocer charg-
ing in excess Of the figures interpret
ed by the board, all he has to do is
to go to another grocer who sells at
the price which the board has sug-
gested.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-01-03

However, in the event that any gro
Ger is not living within the sched-
ule of the food Interpretation board,
it is suggested that he be reported to
Mr.. Griswold. OF course there is no
law which compels the grocers to
charge a certain sum but the informa-
ton no doubt will be used by the board
and the reason the grocer is not SELL
ing within the schedule will be in
vestigated. Such information would
come in handy, perhaps. in future in
vestigations Of the board.

FIRST NATIVE SON OF UTAH IN LINE
 FOR HIGH HONORS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 4.-Heber Jeddy Grant, President of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Mormon church, is the first native son of Utah to be honored with the title of President of the Church. He was born in Salt Lake City, November P, 1858. He is his mothers only son, but, but has several brothers and sisters who bear his fathers name.
 Heber J. Grant obtained his ed ucation and his early business training through self-effort and de- termination. 'Tenacity has been his principal quality, and because of it he reached his present posi- tion with the Mormon church and his standing in the business com munity in the State of Utah. Mir. Grant is pre-eminently a business man and undoubtedly would have devoted his life entirely to financial affairs had not the call from the Church changed the trend of his life from it's natural course.

adviser of the President in the try ing times before and during the Spanish American war.
 Among MT. Fairbanks greatest services to his country were those performed while he was q member of the United States and British joint commission, which dealt with the Alaska boundary, lake fishing and other questions.
 MT. Fairbanks was recognized as one of the national leaders of the Republican party and as such was made chairman of the committee on resolutions at the Philadelphia national convention in 1900. He resigned from the Senate March 4 1905, having been elected Vice President on the Republican ticket with Theodore Roosevelt.
 While he was Vice-President, MT Fairbanks, in 1908, became a can didate for the nomination for Pres ident. He was defeated by Wm. II Taft and after his term as Vice President ended, he went back to the practice of law.

The Organization Will Meet Shortly and Appoint the Necessary
 Committees.
EXPECT A GREAT TIME
Arrangement Be Made to Secure Draft Recruits
 and Look After
 Them Here.

Plans for the celebration of the Fourth of July and for bringing the men at Fort Seward here for the day are rapidly taking steps and it is expected the day will be made one long to be remembered in Juneau. At the mass meeting held last night at the City Hall, it was de- cided by those present to turn the arrangements for the days celebra- ton over to the Juneau Home Guards, they to take full charge of the rais- ing of money for the day and the expenditure thereof, including the ar engagement of transportation for the visitors and their care while here. A letter was written to Captain A. B. Cole, of the Juneau Home Guards and read to them at drill last night.
 On a vote being taken the Home Guards voted unanimously to take charge of the celebration. Captain Cole will confer with Lieut.. George Mock and committees will be ap- pointed within a short time to make the necessary arrangements. It is too early as yet to state what form the celebration of the day will take, but with most of the young men in the city on the rolls of the Home Guards, it is certain that celebra- tion will be planned which will be in keeping with the occasion.
