INCOME TAX
Every Married Person With Annual
Income Of $4,000 and Every Unmar-
ried Person With Annual Income of
$1,000 Must Pay Tax-See Income
Tax Officer at Court House.

In communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. Frank B. Niles, announces that
a federal income tax officer will be
sent into this county on January 2,
1913, and will be here until January
l9, 1918. He will have his office in
the court house in Wauseon and will
be there every day ready and willing
to help persons subject to the income
tax make out their returns without
any cost to them for his services.
Every married person living with
wife or husband who has net in
come Of $4,000 or over, and every
unmarried person who has a net in
come of $1,000 or over this year must
make report.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provided
for the purpose before March l, 1918.
Because a good many people do not
understand the law and do not know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending in this expert
to do it for them. But the duty is
on the taxpayer to make himself
known to the federal government. If
he does not make return as required
before March l he may have to pay
a penalty ranging from $40 to $1,000
pay a fine or go to Jail. 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 wish, come and
see the income tax man, who will be
at Wauseon.
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, do not mean fam
lily expenses, money used to pay of
the principal of debt, new machin
cry, buildings, or anything like that
They mean what you spend in max
ing your money-interest, taxes paid
hired help, amount paid for good;
sold, seed, stock bought for feeding
rent Except for your dwelling), etc
Income Includes about every dollal
! you get.

oBERLIN COLLEGE GLEE CLUB

Twenty young men comprise the
Oberlin College Glee Club, which is
to be heard here on Saturday night,
January 9Th. These men are selected
with a view to musicianship. The
greatest rivalry exists at the insti-
tuition to win place on this strong
organization. A very rigid examina-
tion is set to each candidate and af-
ter a candidate has given evidence
of Glee Club calibre the applicants
standing as to character, scholarship
and sociability is then Investigated.
1t is safe to say that no other or
ganization in the College takes as
much precaution in choosing it's mem
bers as does the Glee Club, and it is
doubtful whether any other institu-
ton in the country is represented by
a group of young men who are not
only excellent musicians and good
students, but also men of strong
character and refined habits It is for
reasons like these that the Glee Club
is known as well abroad as at home.
Every man while en- route is under
strict rules and understands that his
first and foremost business is to con-
tribute his full share to strong mu-
sical performance and be loyal to his
Alma Mater and it's Glee Club.

Asked by Attorney Ham: ''Who was
the man you thought you knew?" La
yer pointed to the prisoner, Lehman,
and said, Though I'm not positive,
he looked like the man sitting right
there"
Judge Winn's severe cross-exami-
nation failed to confuse or excite this
witness.
The counsel on both sides consumed
much time in rather heated argu-
ments over the demand made by the
defense that the State hand over their
notes of the testimony of Mrs. Alley
Fenton, taken at her home by Miss
Florine Files in the presence of At.
torneys Ham and Stahl. Judge Wolf
refused to grant the demand of the
Defense.
The Defense introduced the testi-
mcny of b. r. Bronson, athlete and
trainer, to show that a man knocked
out by blow on the chin or head is
often unconscious of his behavior un-
til some time afterward.
The state called witnesses in re-
buttal to impeach the testimony of
all who testified against the reputa-

ETERNAL VIGILANCE
THE PRICE OF SA

The following letter has been sent
to all agents of the New York Cen
tral Ry. 1t goes without saying that
the letter would not have been sent
out if there was not good and suffi-
cient reason. Every American citi-
zen should remember that there is
no means. of injury or hindrance to
the American government in the way
of destruction of foodstuffs, to which
the emissaries of our National enemy
will not resort. Constant vigilance
must be exercised.
Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 81, 1917.
To All Agents:
The United States Food Admins
tration has advised that information
was received by the Board that the
l. w. w. have planned this winter
to use concentrated lye and roach
powder for killing cattle and hogs
in yards and feed pens.
1t is said lye on rock salt causes
mouth sores, ulcers in the. stom-
ach, and rots the feet, and that many
people will think it foot and mouth
disease.
1t is further said muriatic and nj
trio acid fed in bran will cause ul-
GERS on hogs stomachs and cause
them to die, closely resembling hog
cholera.
1t would be well for you to give
this information to the stock ship
pers, so that they can be governed
accordingly in the handling of stock
that may be placed in yards and feed
pens.

WHY SAVE WHEAT AND SUGAR?

The end of last summer saw Ca
dorna's army on the point of making
the long hoped for break in the Teu-
tonic lines. But Italy ran short of
wheat. In September the all i'm
portant bread ration of the Italian
soldier had to be cut from $50 grams
day to 800 grams. The next month
the Germans attacked, and the Ital-
ian line crumpled.
The United States Food Admins
tration had not been created by Con-
gress until August 10. There is no
particular reason why it should not
have been created months earlier. Its
work is to prevent just such contin-
gencies as the cutting of the Italian
ration.
The work of the Food Admins
tration is two jobs rather than one
The first task is to see that food in
the more concentrated forms is saved
from unnecessary consumption here
in order that it may be shipped to
Europe.
AS part of this task Mr.. Hoover
asks every American to eat each day
one ounce less sugar than he usu-
ally eats. Is he trying to inhict a
hardship when he asks that? Amer
leans who do as he requests will still
eat three-fourths of their normal con-
sumption of sugar. But the English
are getting only a little over one
fourth as much sugar as they used to
eat.
American confectioners have been
putting 100000 tons Of sugar a year
into candy. That amount of sugar
would all but supply the entire Eng
llsh demand at the present rate of
consumption. Recently the admins
tration has cut the candy makers
down to 100000 tons a year. The
money value of the sugar so saved
is enough to feed all Belgium for one
year.
In restricting the candy makers the
administration was performing the
second part of it's task-that of con
trolling the distribution of food sup
plies. In its conservation work the
administration deals directly will
producer and consumer. On the side
Of control it deals with the manu-
facturer and the wholesaler.
Food control is saving money fol
the American household week by week
In May, wheat was at $3.50 a bushe
and -four at $17.10. Congress brough
wheat down to 1920 for this year.
crop, and Hoover's organization hat
reduced the price of flour to $10.25
On every barrel of flour, bought tn
purchaser has been enabled to saw
at least $685.. AS America consume
10 million barrels of flour in month
the total monthly saving effected b,
the administration at this one poin
is $68,5OO,OOO.
But keeping down the cost of livin
is not the primary object of the ad
ministration. 1t opposes boarding
not so much because boarding raise
prices, as because it keeps food GU
of the market at the very times whe
it is most seriously needed The ad
ministration's license system ha
practically eliminated boarding. Jot
bers, wholesalers, and big retailer
can do business only if they have
license If they are caught hoardin
a forfeiture of their license put
them out of business forthwith. Put
lie opinion keeps the small retailer
in line-where patriotism doesn't
;; it.
The worlds food situation is bad
but in four months fighting tn

has got it pretty well under cor

ELY-WINZELER

On the afternoon of the last day in
the old year, the home of the Rev.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowman was the scene
of an interesting wedding, when Mr..

had a position with large firm in
Toledo, where she made her home

groom is thrifty young farmer who
is managing his fathers farm, stu

FLORENCE SARAH LEADERS

Florence Sarah Richardson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs W. A. Richard
son, was born in Freedom township,
Henry county, Ohio, January 9, 1899.
She passed on to the life Immortal
December 27, 1917, having remained
with those who loved her a few days
less than 19 years.
About IA years ago she came with
her parents to Wauseon, and with the
exception of eight months, during
which the family lived in Oberlin, this
place has been her home since that
time. Her school days were spent
here, she having graduated from the
Wauseon High School in June, 1917.
She was active in Sunday school
work and served for several years as
an officer of the Congregational
Sunday school. On Easter Sunday,
April, 1912, she united with the Con-
gregational church on confession of
her faith and was member of this
church at the time of her departure
August 4, 1916, she was united in
marriage with Robert Leaders. To
them was born on Dec. 18, 1917, a
son, William Edward The husband
and son are bereft in her passing of
loving wife and mother. Besides
these there are left to cherish the
memory of their loved one, her father
and mother, two sisters, Mrs. Alice
Border and Mrs. Mary Biernes.
A still larger circle, including her
relatives and friends and her school
mates and girlhood companions, are
mourning today that her life here has
been cut off in its springtime, and
will cherish through the years the
memory of one who by her kindly
cheerful, helpful and loving disposi-
ton made their lives happier and
brighter by her presence.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at the Congregational
church, conducted by the present pas
tor the Rev. A. B. Eby, and former
pastor, F. E. Kenyon. The church
was filled with the many friends of
Florence and her family. Six young
men of her class in the High school
acted as pall-bearers and six young
ladies of the same class acted as hon
orary pall-bearers. Interment was
made in Wauseon cemetery.

Today the State strengthened one
of the links in the chain of circum-
stantial evidence which it has pro-
duced to show that Fred Lehman is
guilty as charged in the indictment
Of killing his wife, Grace, on the night
Of the 10th of last September.
This was done by introducing the
testimony of Sol Laver, for the past
20 years the assessor of Pike town
ship, as the first of the States evil
dence in rebuttal. The Defense had
attempted to impeach Guy Flickin-
ger and discredit his testimony as a
witness for the State. Flickinger had
testified that he saw Fred Lehman
purchasing a 22-calibre revolver in
the Miller & Marsteller hardware
store in Delta last August. Laver
testified that as he came out of this
hardware store at the time referred
to, he saw Flickinger go in. Laver
said that on his way out of the store
he thought the man standing over the
counter looking for revolvers was a
man he knew, and turned back a mo-
ment to look again; then went on out
