NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

The Missouri Legislature in 1917
passed an income tax law which i'm
poses a tax upon incomes within the
State of Missouri This law is found
on pages 524 to 53S inclusive in
the laws of Missouri, 1917, which
may be found in the office of any
lawyer or justice of the peace in Au-
dram county. This law requirs every
person in Audrain county who has an
income taxable hereunder to apply
in person or by mail to the Assessor
of said county for blanks on which to
make a return and that said return
shall be made and filed with the AS
SCISSOR on or before March 1st, 1918.
This law further provides that if
any person. subject to this law,
makes a fraudulent return or refuses
ALL his tax shall be doubled; and
that he shall be punished upon con-
viction by a fine not exceeding Five
Hundred Dollars, or be imprisoned
not exceeding one year, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment.
This law has no connection or re-
lation whatever to the Federal In
come Tax Law and the fact that a
taxpayer has or has not hade re.
turn under the Federal Income Tax
Law does not affect his duty to make
return under the State Income Ta1
Law.
To the end that all taxpayers may
have their attention called to the
State Income Tax Law, 1 am giving
this notice thru the papers.
S. T. TORREYSON,
Assessor of Audrain County.

THE TUsCANIA.

The news of the sinking of this
great vessel last week 2,173 Amer
ican soldier boys on board by Ger
man submarine, stirred this country
as nothing else since the days of the
sinking of the Maine in Havana
Harbor.
All the men on the Tuscania were
saved except 1914. Many of the latter
we're washed by the waves many
miles to the coast of ireland. 1t is
said not one could be recognized, and
all were buried in one grave.
The Hun will have to give ac-
count for all this. Americans are
now more determined than ever
The Tuscania was the first U. S.
outgoing troopship to be sunk. The
vessel had been attacked before by
submarines, but had escaped.
The soldiers on board when this
last attack came proved themselves
nervy and brave fellows
How American soldiers behaved
when they found that the boats as
signed to them on the Tuscania had
been smashed is told by an American
officer who landed at an Irish port.
Two full boatloads under his COM
mand assembled on deck when the
torpedo struck the liner and marched
to the boats assigned them. Arriving
at their station, they found that both
boats had been destroyed.
The men lined up on deck at at
tention," said the officer, "and all
preserved the utmost composure un-
til destroyer came alongside and
effected the transfer from the grad
ually sinking deck"
I'VE stood alongside until the last
man was taken off, who, as might
be expected, was the commander OF
the ship The patients in the ships
hospital including several cases OF
scarlatina and fever were among the
first taken Off
Other soldiers who were lined up
for a chance to escape on lifeboats
sang, America" and my Country
'Tis OF Thee" while the great yes
sci was rapidly sinking under thC
waves forever.
We repeat, the sinking of the Tus
cania will be avenged. Young mel
are enlisting with a spirit OF ven
geance in all parts of our country.
