the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one

ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro

Resolved. That in view Of the wide
spread destruction of food products
and other property of the utmost inn
portance and value at this time in sue
cessfully prosecuting the war, it IS

INCOME TAX RETURNS

so man or woman who has an in
come Of over $1,000 a year should for
get that there must be made a return
to the treasury department before
March list If single this sum is all
that you can receive and be exempt,
if you are married or the head of a
family, then $4,000 is exempt. In max
ing this return the farmer is the one
who is going to find himself up a
stump. He has not been in the habit
of keeping books on his business. As
a consequence he does not really know
where he stands as to profit and loss.
1t Is really going to be a good thing
for him, as it will compel him to find
out just where he stands. OF curse
many farmers have been keeping
books, some of them keeping them in
a business like way and some in a
rather careless way. Some have gone
on in the good old-fashioned way of
not considering farming a real bust
ness. These latter are the men who
have not made a success, others who
have made it a business have been
successful. But one thing is sure,
that the farmer must recognize that
business methods are the only means
by which he can work out his own sal
walton.
Remember, an officer from the rev
enue collectors Office will be at the
postofice in Bookings from January
31st, until February 21st to assist in
making these returns, and from this
short course in finance everyone can
make a start that will lead him into
a business way of handling his af-
fairs.

CONSERVE PUBLICITY

There is current report that the
president has appointed a committee
or board. with headquarters in New
York, to supervise all of the publicity
that Will be put oHt by the govern
ment. Under this new plan it is to be
hoped that there will be a great deal
less Of proposed reading matter fur
nished the papers Of the country with
the request for publication. Many of
the articles sent out are good in their
respective spheres. and If they would
only have some regard for the use Of
space. they might be able 10 get much
more Of their propaganda published.
Ii looks very peculiar, 10 say the least,
for every bureau, board and commit
tee that has anything 70 do with the
management Of the different govern
ment branches OF business TO be send
ing out week after week whole reams
OF matter which they ask the papers
OF the country 10 publish. II the whole
matter of publicity is 10 be co-ordi-
mated then a central board can see
that the people are kept posted on the
right matters and al the right times.
There must be q priority in publish
ing these articles. just as il was found
necessary 10 have priority orders TO
regulate freight traffic. But the great
trouble has been With this, as il first
was with the priority orders, that
every department or committee head
thought that his stun should have first
attention. Another thing that will
help. both the government and the
newspapers. will be TO have a man
with real country newspaper expert
ence to have something 10 do with
the sending out Of the matter, so that

articles, learned n correct though
they be. The country editors want
shorter articles. more snappy. catchy

high, but the assortment can be made

in mind, Mr.. President, when you d.
rect your new board what to do to give
real publicity to the governments re-
Quirements.

a BRIGHT GIRL GONE

It was with a feeling Of sorrow thar
many heard of the death on last Mon
day evening Of Helen Hurney, The
n"ine-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mr..
Patrick Hurncy. Of this city. Helen
had been in failing health for the past
two years and everything was dom
for her during that time that loving
relatives and kind friends could think
of; the fatal illness came SUNDAY
morning, however, and the Angel OF
Death called her Monday night at
1870. She had completed her ninth
year on the 18th of last October.
Helen was a bright and cheerful
little girl and had all those qualitics
of mind and heart that make for one
many friends. This was evident from
the large number that filed st.
funeral was held Wednesday morning.
The mass was said by Father Dooley,
and the First Communion class of
which Helen was a member two sum
mers ago. received communion that
morning for her intention.
After services here the body was
taken to the Elkton Catholic church
and blessed by Father Shean, assisted
by Fathers Dooley and Cafferky, after
which it was laid to rest in the Elk
ton cemetery. The sympathy Of all
goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. l~!urney in
their great loss.
