Filing Income Data Authorized
by Roper.

Washington, Feb. 12-Although ne
general extension of time for filing in
come tax returns will be authorized
Commissioner Roper announced to-
night that corporations which cannot
complete returns by March Is will be
permitted to return the estimated tax
and make revised return within forty
five days. 1t was explained that, by

able to collect the approximate install
ment due next month, to meet its
urgent needs, and corporations actu-
ally needing an extension of time
would, in effect receive it.
Taxpayers will not be relieved of
interest on such amount as payment
may fall short of the tax found later to
be due. If the installment due March
10 is greater than shown by the COM
pleted returns, the excess will be
cerdited to the next payment.
One of the advantages to the tax
payer" said Commissioner Roper, sis
that it relieves him of one-half of one
per cent interest per month that would
attach to he paymen of the taxes
under an extension granted at his re-
quest"

The Rivers and Harbor Committe of
the Chamber of Commerce is being
urged by the pilots to bring pressure
to bear on the U. S. Engineer Corps
at Mobile to get busy on the channel
project which has been lapsing for the
past two years. The deepening of the
channel is absolutely necessary for
the continuance of commerce at this
gulf point Many cargoes Of cross ties
running into the thousands are penned
at Moss Point ready for shipment A
fleet of wooden type steamers has been
chartered to load direct from the
grounds in Escatawpa river

A NATION WITHOUT LIQUOR.

we are prone to speak in super.
latives1 of remarkable events that we
ourselves have witnessed; vet it is
probably true that the action of the
United States in absolutely prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors anywhere in the country
is as astonishing an example of social
reform accomplished by law as the
history of the world has to show The
war doubtless quickened toward pro-
hibition, not only through the widely
ieit necessity for national sobriety at
such a time of crisis, but through its
subtle effect in breaking down old
pre1udices and modes of thought and
in opening the human mind to every
sort of innovating and reforming in
huence. We are to live in new
world henceforth a world that will
have little of the leisure and abund-
ance of the world before the war, and
little, too, of its laxity and self indulg-
ence. The struggle for life is going
to be harder than it has been, and for
most of us the burdens are to be heav-
Ter. 1t is perhaps a subconscious
recognition of the coming trial that
has determined the people of the
United States to have done at once
with the long-endured impediment of
he liquor traffic; for although the |
movement toward prohibition has been
steady for a number of years, so quick |
md decisive a victory did not seem
possible even so recently as three or
our years ago.-Youth's Companion.

RED CROSS.

American Red Cross held regular
meeting last Thursday afternoon
which was we'll attended. There was
nothing on hand but youtine business
and nothing much to interest the gen
eral public.
Mrs. j. w. Frellsen, the canteen
chairman, made report of the work
done by the canteen committee, that
was such ali excellent one and showed
! so much good work done, that we have
! been requested to publish same, which
is as follows; covering the period by
weeks from the beginning of the work
of the canteen to date:
Canteen Reports.
Jan. 2.-Canteen started service on
Christmas Day and continued service
every day until Dec. 81. The estimate
placed on the number of soldiers who
were served during the week approx
mates 65S. Had but one notification
of the arrival of troop train, and that
was on Dec. 27, when 800 men were
given a cordial greeting by canteen
workers, who also served them with
cigaretts, matches, chocolate bars,
chewing gum and magazines. All
other days two sections of No. and
late 81 were met by canteen com
mittees. No one but those
who have been engaged in this par
ticuar line of work can appreciate
how beautiful the work is-to minister
to the hundreds of soldiers, sailors and
marines the last service of the Red
Cross on the homewards journey, prior
to their re-entering civil life--it leaves
them an impression and inspiration,
and also gives to them knowledge of
the appreciation of the American pub
lie expressed through the. canteens of
the A, r. C.
Jan. 16-The number of soldiers
served during the week of Jan. to
7 was 315. This does not compare
favorably with the number taken care
of during the previous week, but this
is due to the fact that no committees
served on the days of Jan. 2, 3, 4 and |
5, because Of extreme weather con.
ditons.
For the week Of Jan. s to IA there |
was but one day of service and that |
woo an Ion OH ,ubop 4, ,pnrox,;r, al :, |
100 soldiers were served. The failure
to serve these other days, was due to
the fact that the canteen workers
were all engaged in preparation of the
banquet that Jackson county proposed |
to tender to her soldier boys on their
return home. On Jan. 10 dance
(Benefit) was given by the Junior
members. The gross receipts were
S96.40 and the expenses were $31 40,
leaving a net profit of $65, which
was deposited in the Pascagoula
National Bank to the credit of the
oanteen service Of Pascagoula Red
Cross Chapter. From the date of the
first report, Jan. 2, to the present
late, 1913 men have been met and
served.
Feb 6-There has been for the past
hree weeks decrease in the calls for
seneral canteen work which indicates
hat the work is destined to diminish,
lence the canteen has discontinued
ervice to soldiers travelling on regular
rains. The work will be confined
to troop trains passing
through, and to serving wounded !
oldiers, and in the end to offer it's en- ,
ire strength to Home Service ac-
ivities. :
