NOTICE.

The attention of property own
ers along the levee is called to the
provisions of paragraph Is of the
Board of Mississippi Levee Com
missioners' official specifications
for levee maintenance in the Mis-
sissippi Levee District. as follows:
13. Under no circumstances
shall the levce or levee right of
way. for a distance of 100 feet
from the toe of slope OIL the land
side and for a distance of 40 feet
from the toe of slope on the river
side, be titled. by adjacent farmers
ior anyone else. for any purpose
whatever: except. that the areas
beyond the actual embankment so
included may. in the eerly part CT
any summer after the high water
period. be broken up and narrowed
for meadow purposes. Specific
permissions will be issued by the
levee board for so doing. provided
there is no local reason to the con.
trary."
This notice is given prior to the
beginning of planting operations
for the coming year so that all
concerned may know in time that
it will be necessary to conform to
requirements.
Where less than 100 feet beyond
the levee on the Landslide is now
owned by the levee board 1t is
planned, so far as practicable, to
acquire at least 100 feet at an early
date; for the present, at least
wherever considerable hause NOV
ing is not involved.
Where cultivation of the levee
right of way has been carried on
to a distance from the levee less
than 100 feet it will be necessary
to discontinue this practice on the
100 foot strip; and where fences
have been erected or retained with
in the limits Of this 100 foot strip.
where owned by 'he board. it will
be necessary to set them back
accordingly.
The execution Of these provis'
Ions will be through the levee
guards and the cooperation OF the
property nwners is counted upon
the purpose being solely to m
crease the amount OF protection
given by our levees.

APRIL 1 LAST DAY
 FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are Severe-Get Your Return
 in if You Are Liable.


 April l, 1918, is the final day al- lowed Under the federal income tax law for the filing Of federal income 2 tax returns. Persons who are requir. ed to file returns under the provisions of law and who fail to get their re turns in on time are subject to SC we're penalties. as follows:
 For making false or fraudulent re- turn, not exceeding $2,OO0 or not ex- ceeding one years Imprisonment, or both, in the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 100 per cent. of the tax evaded.
 For failing to make return on time. not less than $20 nor more than $l.- 000, and, in addition. 50 per cent. of the amount of tax due.
 If on account of Illness or absence from home you are unable to render your return within the time prescribed by law you may obtain an extension of 50 days if u request therefor is filed with the collector of your district be- fore the due date of the return. In this request you must state the rea- son why the return cannot be filed within the time prescribed by law.
 Collectors of internal revenue are not authorized to grant extensions of more than 90 days, but the comInis- sioner of internal revenue has author fly to grant a reasonable extension beyond 30 days in meritorious cases. If you desire an extension of more than 30 days your request should be addressed to the commissioner and should contain detailed statement covering the reasons which make it impossible for you to file your return 1 on or before April 1.
 The internal revenue men are now completing their tour of the country during which they were in touch with the people of every city and town. Il you failed to get in touch with the deputy which visited your section 1t Is not too late to get advice Consult ! your postmaster as to where the near est deputy is now. Get your blank form, study the directions and the re- quirements as shown thereon and make your return without fail if your income was sufficient to come within the bounds named in the law.

Congress has as much right to con

Congress has as much right to con- script a just portion of income as IL has to conscript our boys. The tax for 1917 is designed to: reach moder- ate as well as large incomes, so that all persons who are in financial posi- ton to bear a portion of the heavy government expenses can be assessed in proportion to their ability to pay
 The man who is barely making a living or barely supporting a family is not affected by the 1917 law. But the man who is able to bear share of the burden has been reached by the new law. and he should accept his responsibility in the same patriotic spirit that our young men have shown in offering themselves for this great purpose of the country to make the world safe for people of all kinds to live in and to govern themseIves.a
 This tax is. one which recognizes women as on an equal basis with men. The unmarried woman or the married woman with d salary must make tax return just the same as any man. Only
 
 other members of her family may take out S2,000 exemption.
 Under the law the head of the faml- ly is the one whose earning power con. tributes to the family's support.
 Similarly widow with small chil dren to support can take out $2,00Q exemption and $200 additional exemp. ton for each of her children under eighteen. Thus 1t is intended that the law shall work no hardship to wo- men having to struggle to get along. But each must file return if her in come is $1,000.
 4 man whose wife dies and who is left with small children to support upon moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $200 exemption for each of his children under eighteen.
 The widower under the law is a single man and must make tax re turn accordingly. Married men need not file returns unless they are earn ing $2,000 or more.
 strhis is as much national obliga. ton as the reporting for duty of man drafted for service with the colors,' , says D. c. Roper. commissioner of in- ternal revenue. AS 1t stands, it is much a matter of the man or wo- mans own conscience. It is for him or for her to determine just how far he is liable to the tax. He must figure his own income and if it reaches the figures named in the law must make faithful report upon it to the prosei authority.
 "frhis tax is distinctly war meas ure and will be In effect during the war.
 "rhis Is a peoples tax-it reaches right down into the pockets of the small wage earner; it makes him 8 partner in the job of winning the yvar.''
