RECKLESS.

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman were sitting in Pullman car They were all boasting about who could be the most extravagant and thus trying to fill in time.
 The Englishman, to demonstrate his extravaganza, took a dollar bill from his pocket, touched a match to and carelessly lit his pipe with it.
 The Irishman, not to be beaten, hauled out a five-dollar bill and did likewise.
 Then the Scotchman, not wishing to check for a thousand dollars and ap- piled it to his pipe.

SINGING BETTER THAN SIGNING.

What's the use to frown and sigh
If things don't go to suit you,
What use to frown and sigh?
You can't frown back the sunshine
That's missing from the sky,
Nor frown away the winter
In wishing it were spring.
The .wisest thing to do, my friend,
Is just keep sweet--and sing.
A song will make ones burden
Seem lighter, while sigh
Adds to the load we carry;
We can't tell how, or why.
We only know it does it
And that the Tilt and swing
Of cheerful song makes happy heart;
So Just keep sweet-and sing.
Don't fret and fume and worry
And make things worse, say |,
Since we can't help what's happened;
So laugh away the sigh
And trust that on the morrow
The clouds will all take wing
Believing God knows what is best;
So just keep sweet-and sing.

GROCERY GOES TO
CUSTOMERS DOORS

An Arkansan has hit upon unique
scheme to cut down the cost of store
room and the delivery of goods and
lower operating expenses, and thus re-
duce the cost Of his wares to his custo-
'mers. He has built his grocery store
on two-ton motor truck chassis and
drives it right to the door of custom
ers living along the five mile route.
Goods are sold only for cash, being
bought, paid for, and delivered all at
one time.
The store occupies the rear end of
the body, which is 16 feet long, six
feet wide and six feet high. Goods
are stored in bins and on shelves back
of the counter. Meats, butter and 9th
err perishable commodities are kept in
a refrigerator provided for that pur-
pose. Electric current for lighting the
store when lights are needed is gener-
ated by the motor.

THE STATES-CRAPHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY

Chicago policemen are no longer
getting whiskey and beer free at the
saloons. Even Chicago, it seems, is
not altogether beyond reform. Howev-
er, it was not repentance, but the high
cost Of drinks that forced this change.
What dc you think of practice which
allows the guardians of the law, the
very men who are sworn and paid to
enforce order and protect the
public, to get unlimited drinks at
saloons? Naturally the police will
stand in with the liquor elements IN
der such conditions as that and the
people will get the worst of it. How
ever, the people are getting completely
disguised with the whole liquor bust
ness, with all its wicked ramifications,
and they are going to heave the whole
thing overheard once and for all. The
liquor evil is like Prussian militarism;
there is no possible compromise with
it-nothing but humiliation for it.
Humanity has tried tolerating it, and
it has abused the privilege. Now,
away with it!-Exchange.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. =, 191g.-You
won't have to figure out your income
tax all by yourself hereafter. The
government is going to send out men
to help you. 1t will be up to you to
hunt out these men who will be sent
into every county seat town and some
other towns besides, to meet the peo-

papers will later be able to tell you
when the governments income tax
man will be around and where to find
him. He will answer your questions
and assist you in preparing your re-
turns correctly. Returns for income
for 1917 must be made between Janu-

1.-THE government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue E. B.
Craig said today "that many persons
experience a good deal of difficulty in

be unnecessary for prospective tax
payers to ask at my office for forms
on which to make returns, unless they
fail to hunt up the officer who will be
sent to their county. The officer who
visits their county will have them.
1T may be stated as a matter of
general information that net income
is the remainder after supbtracting
expenses from gross income, except
that personal, family, or living ex-
pense is not expense in the meaning
Of the law, the exemption being allow
Ell to cover such expenses.
sThe new exemption of $1,000 and
$4,000 will add tens of thousands of in

1.-THE law makes it the duty of the
tax payer to seek out the collector
Many people assume that if an in
come tax form is not sent, or a gov
eminent o--cer does not CALL they are
relieved from making ar eport. This
is decidedly in error. 1t is the other
way round. The tax payer has to go
to the government and if he doesn't
within the time prescribed, he is a vi
olator of the law, and the government
will 60 to him with its penalties"

INCOME TAX OFFICER
WILL Be HERE

In communication received by this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue
E. B. Craig announces that Federal
Income tax officer will be sent into this
county on February %, and will be
here until March l. He will have his
office in Brownsville, and will be there
every day ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income tax to
make out their returns without any
cost to them for his services.
How many income tax payers will
there be in Haywood county. If 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 persons having net
incomes of $1,000 or over this year,
then you know The collector of inter-
nal revenue estimates that there will
be 78O taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March 1st, 1918.
Because a good many people don't IN
derstand the law, and won't know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending 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 re-
turn as required before the first Of
March, he may have to pay penalty
ranging from $40 to $1,000, pay fine
or go to Jail SO if you don't want to
take chances Of going to Jail, you bet
ter call on the income tax man. If you
are not sure about being subject to the
tax, better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax man
or not, you must make return if sub
ject to tax.
Of course persons resident in other
counties, may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man at this
point.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures. when the expert arrives.
Expenses, however, don't mean family
expenses, money used to pay off the
principal of 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, Except
for your dwelling, etc. Income in
cludes about every dollar you get,

Ncw York, Dec. 81 never did be-
/ fore believe the stories we got in
America of the Boche outrages. /
have to believe them now, and they are
many times worse than the stories |
heard at home.'
This excerpt from letter from
captain in an American regiment Of
engineers, the first American regiment
to 60 abroad and the organization
which participated in the battle of
! Cambria, WAS received with deep emo
ton this afternoon, when read before
800 relatives and friends at meeting
at the Engineers Society, 90 West seth
street.
After describing conditions in
France which led him to understand
the nature of German atrocities, the
! captain concluded, in his letter, which
was read:
/ Il cannot understand what the men
tai processes or operations of the Hun
can be. 1t must be the wrathful spite
of disappointed, degenerate mind. In
fairness to our many fine acquaintan-
ces of German birth in America, will
say that the German prisoners | have
seen appear to be largely a different
! type from the Germans in America.
They look more like Slavs and Poles,
and not of a particularly high type
Major - does not agree with me in
this. He says he can see among them
the counterpart Of every German he
ever knew"
In enumerating some of the horrors
he had observed, the captain said:
Canadian and Scottish battalions take
no prisoners. They give and ask no
quarter. The reason is that the Be-
ches have several times crucifed the
Canadian and Scottish prisoners and
held them above the trenches in view
of the battalion In one such case a
Canadian battalion went over the top
to the Boche trenches without orders.
Very few of them returned.
"The thing that makes our blood boil
is the absolutely unnecessary and wan
ton destruction wrought by the retir-
ing Hun. His usual wonderful, sys-
tematic methods have been applied in
this destruction. Whole towns that
have hardly been touched by shell fire
have been completely destroyed by dy-
namiting. Much Of it has absolutely
no military value. Isolated homes,
beautiful chateaux, garden walls, lit
tie summer houses, are all blown up.
Shade trees, flower trees are cut down
or the bark cut so the trees will die.
Cemeteries have beenransacked. Those
things could not have been done with
out the knowledge and permission of
the officers, and the thing is so COM
plete that it looks as though it was all
a part of an official, systematic pro-
gram"

as serving in the Greek army.
Furthermore, any Greek serving in
the American army, and who would be
mentioned for galantry being consid-
cred as fighting in the Greek army,
win be rewarded by the Greek govern
ment.
"This collective authorization is ex-
tended to the Greeks who have already
enlisted in the American army without
previously applying for the aathori-
zatien required by the Greek laws.
