F. II. Gordon, coal and feed dealer,
is expanding his warehouse accom-
modations on Estill avenue. He is
adding building material of all sorts
lime, cement, sand, crushed rock, sew
er pipe, to his lines, and needs more
room to handle his increasing busi-
ness. He has leased from the Rich
mond Ice Company large warehouse,
adjoining his present quarters, and
giving him 1000 additional square
feet of floor space. There is sufficient
railroad siding to enable him to un
load 10 care of material at one time
if necessary.
Mr.. Gordon's business in all
branches has grown by leaps and
bounds. He says that he attributes it
largely to his motto of "The utmost
satisfaction to the customer and to
his advertising in the Daily Register.
Mr.. Gordon has increased his adver-
tising space steadily since he first be-
gan business. He has found that there
is no possible way in which he can
talk as cheaply and effectively to the
40, 900 people of Madison and many
other thousands in adjoining counties
as he can through the Daily Register

MEET TO PROTEST
UNJUST TAXATION
Taxpayers and Citizens From all Over
County Hear Indignation Speech
es At Court House Today.

Notwithstanding the rainy weather,
a crowd Of several hundred taxpayers
gathered in the court huse at half
past one o'clock this afternoon to dis
cuss the increased tax assessment
placed on Madison county and the
road tax election to be held March 20.
County Attorney Jackson presided
and stated the results of the effort
made by special committee to get a
reduction from the State Tax Com
mission at Frankfort. He gave figures
to show that Madison is being treated
unjustly and assessed as if all of her
territory is blue grass land.
County Judge Price also touched
upon the tax question and dis
cussed the proposed road tax. He
told of the need Of good roads, and
pledged the best efforts of the Fiscal
Court, if the tax is voted, to see that
every section gets fair and square
deal.
Hon. w. B. Smith spoke at length
on the matter, and urged as a reason
for the constantly increasing taxation
that the people are not seeing that
their elected officials do their duty
He reminded his hearers that they are
the government, and in the final an
alysis, what they say must be accom-
plished, but if the officials are allowed
to be lax in their duties, the people
will continue to suffer.
S. M. Saufley, of the Daily Register,
said that if Madison is being given an
unjust assessment, he is in favor of
fighting it out with the State Tax
Commission to the last ditch. He
said that affidavits should be taken
from leading land owners all over the
county showing the injustice Of the
raise of s4,20o,000 on Madison, and
the actual valuation of the county, as
a whole, per acre, and this should be
Immediately presented to the State
Tax Commission, with capable attor-
neys handling the matter, and fight
ing the unjust increased taxation that
is sought to be saddled upon the tax
payers Of this county, to the last
court. He offered to contribute to q
fund 20 employ counsel if necessary
that every legal remedy may be en-
ployed to protect the taxpayers of thi:
county. He pointed out that Mont,
gomery county is facing the same sort
of situation, and thought it might bt
well to consult with the taxpayer.

THIS WAS ALL THAT ORPHANED

Two Little Brothers Living in Dug
Out Ran for Their Lives, While
Sister Remained to Care
for Dying Mother.

Declaring that he believed the
American people could not and would
not permit the cradle of the white
mans civilization to perish, G. v.
Vickery, secretary of the American
Committee for Relief in the Near East
formerly Armenian and Syrian Re
lief), expresses confidence that the
committees need of $30,OOO,0OO for re-
lief work among the poverty stricken
and starving Armenians and others
in the Near East would be fully real
lied and the nations quota would be

Mr.. Vickery pointed out the dire
need of orphanages for the children of
Armenia and other sections of the OF
toman Empire, orphaned by the whole
sale murder of their parents by the
Turks, by citing one of the many
touching incidents that come to the
committee from American missiOnar
les and its relief workers in the Near
East. He emphasized that 100000
of the $3O,OOO,OOO to be raised in this
country during the Armenian cam
paign week will be devoted to the
building of orphanages for the strick
en- children.

No Extension of Time.

That there will be no general eX-
tension of time beyond March 18th
fol the filing of returns and for the
payment of income and excess profits
taxes due on that date, is the deci-
sion of Daniel G. Roper, Commissions
er of Internal Revenue. The an
nouncement was made by Collector
Williams Immediately following the
approval by the Senate and House of
the report of the conferees on the
new revenue bill.
ut is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March 18th" says
Commissioner Roper. mo other
course is possible. Some months ago
the Treasury issued certificates of in
debtedness to an amount approxima-
ting Se0O,OO0,OOO, maturing March Is.
The first payment of the income and
excess profits taxes for 1918 was
planned for that date, to meet this
huge obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is another
emergency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort. The bureau ex-
tends it's every force toward this end,
and am relying upon the people to
meet the situation Fundamentally.
The Internal Revenue Bureau must
carry out the program prescribed in
the new law, which requires all re-
turns for 1918 to be filed on or before
March Is, 1919, and requires the first
quarterly payment or the entire pay
ment to be made on or before that
date.
"Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
18th. The quarterly payment meth
| cd is intended for taxpayers whose
financing of the tax at one time
would tend to upset local financial
conditions.
''The approval of the report of the
ccnferees by the Senate and House OF
Representative brings the new Rev.
enue Bill to the point where it may
be assumed to be law. The internal
Revenue Bureau has been making
preparations to collect the taxes
which it provides, and is now putting
all of it's efforts into aiding the tax
payers to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed.

an advisory force of several thousand

Capes and capelike wraps for spring
have invaded the realm of fashion in
great force. This bespeaks much prepa-
ration on the part of designers, since
the variety Of these garments is Won
derful, and leads us to believe that a
vogue for capes is so well started that
it's growth is sure. 1t really began
with the magnificent fur nantes and
capes and big enveloping wraps with
which women consoled themselves
when quiet dressing for patriotic rea-
sons was the vogue. Furs are not
considered an extravaganza they out
last seasons and wars, and they were
never more sumptuous or magnificent
than they were this fall-just before
the signing of the armistice. Their
position was further strengthened by
the seal Of approval which Paris has
set on handsome wraps of black satin,
fur-trimmed, and on others that are
combinations of fur and silk.
All through the fashions of the pass
ing season there has run the idea Of
combination garments. The coat-dress
is an example. In furs this idea was

Increase in Taxes.
Asst. to Director.

The revenue bill now pending in

in the course of the next ten days or
two weeks TIE day after the presi-
dent signs this bill an increased tax
becomes effective on al stocks of Gig
ars, cigareGs and manufactured tobac-
co of all kinds, as well as an increased
tax upon all distilled spirits. wines,
etc. Every dealer in any Of these
commodities is required tc file a
sworn return and inventory with the
Collector of Internal Revenue, and
such inventory must be taken on the
morning of the day the law becomes
effective, The Office of the collector
will mail to the dealers a few days
before the law becomes effective,
proper inventory forms. The law
places upon each dealer the response
bility of advising himself as to the
effective date Of the bill, and there
fore, they should watch newspaper
announcements of the day The presi-
dent signs the bill, and tile follow
ing morning, take actual inventory Of
of his stock. The law provides severe
penalties for failure on the part of
the dealers to make inventory and re-
turn as required by law

Sometimes Its an Orderly

Before fell victim
To the wiles of Spanish 's1u''
I'd gathered from the posters,
And certain movies, too,
That when it came to nurses
You always woke to view
Some peach from Ziegfield's Follies
Who slipped the pills to you
I've read TIE artful fiction
About the angels fair
Who sat beside your pillow
And stocked your feyered hair,
And made you kind of careless
How long you fingered there
In the radiant effulgence
OF lovely baby stare.
That may be trne in cases,
The way it is in plays,
But mine was no white lady
Of lifting roundelays;
For while / was a blesse
The nurse who met my gaze
Was Private Pete Koszolski,
Who hadn't shaved for days.
