The Swallows Back.

An Indian legend tells us that when
men first came on earth they had no
fire. The Great Spirit taught them
how to do many things; he taught
them how to get food from the for
est, fish from the waters and corn and
beans from the earth, but fire they
themselves must learn to make.
Even with all the gifts they had
showered upon them they were not
happy, but kept thinking all the time
of the one thing which they still want.
ed, instead Of enjoying the many
gifts which were already theirs. All
fire was then in the sun, and they
could think OF no way to get it. Men
could not reach it in any way, and no
bird cared to 60 after it. s
Finally the swallows who could fly
more swiftly than any Of the other
birds, offered to go to the sun so far
away and bring this gift to men.
The swallows back is still black,
but no one ever tried to get fire from
the sun again that way. Long years
afterward men learned how to make
fire by rubbing sticks together.

WHAT FIFTH LOAN

The dollars Of the United States
supplied largely through four great
Liberty Loans were Of tremendous
power in helping win the world war.

the fighting strength Of the Allies,
they tipped the balance Of power
against the Germans for victory and
peace
The fighting men and the fighting
ships, the guns, the food, and $1,000
O00, 900 Of loans to the Allies gave the
momentum needed to hurl upon the
Germans the avalanche that finally
swept them back to defeat and de-
stroyed their monaco to civilization.
The four loans from the American
people, by the American people, and
for the American people, brought final
victory. -.

F0RERUNNER OF THE BICYCLE Ht;i.E
VeIocipede Was Considered a Swift.
Moving Vehicle When First Intro
duced Into This Country.

The velocipede made its appearance
in Washington so years ago, much hav-
ing been heard Of this new device,
which had developed a veritable fever
In France. In an article in the Wash
ington Star of November 20, 1868, it
was noted that the use of this vehicle
had been brought to such perfection
that it is claimed 20 miles an hour
has been made with it." The Star
said:
Lately the velocipede has been in
troduced in this country, and our
young Americans, who at one. time
had the boxing mania, followed by the
baseball mania, are now going strong
on the veloclpede, and it will doubt
less have its run all over the country.
Graham, the carriage dealer on d
street between 9Th and 9th, has just
imported a frst-class velocipede, and
it is an object of great attraction at
his establishment. 1t Is smart, styl-
ish-looking affair, but very simple in
its working. 1t can be run most rapid
ly with two wheels, but 1t is convert
ible to three-wheeler. The working
Of 1t brings in play most Of the mus
Giles of the body, and it is said to be
very healthful. From the facility with
which it is steered or turned, 1t cam
be used on any sidewalk or gravel
walk. The gravel walks of the Smith
sonian would be just the thing for We
locipeders. The style Of velocipede to
be seen at Graham's is the --latest
French style, introduced in this coun-
try by the Hanlon brothers, gym
nasts."

Taxpayers should not allow them
selves to be imposed upon by strang
ers who claim to be Income Tax ex-
perts. They should discriminate
carefully between really helpful, au-
thoritative advice in tax matters, and
the irresponsible brand peddled under
glittering pretenses.
The Bureau is arranging to furn-
ish for the benefit of Income Tax
payers in every city and town in the
country, a free advisory service by
trained collectors, agents, inspectors
and deputies. At the offices of Col
lectors and their Deputies, and
at other central points, free inform
alton and advice with respect to fill
ing returns under the new Revenue
Bill may be had up to the final date
for filing returns.
Bank, trust companies and similar
responsible institutinos have always
operated in furnishing authentic In
come Tax information and have gen
erously offered to serve the govern
ment and taxpayers in this respect
again this year.
1t is the aim of the Bureau to
bring it's agencies as close as posi-
BILE to every person and to make
available in official form all neces-
sary information regarding the re-
quirements of the law. The Bureau
welcomes aid from every responsible
agency in it's effort to enlighten the
people on tax matters.
Every taxpayer is assured of a
square deal from the government
based entirely on the tax laws and
regulations and the facts in his case.
No other influence is allowed to enter
into Internal Revenue matters and
the statement of any firm or individ-
ual that they are in position to exert
special influence with the Internal
Revenue officers is wholly without
foundation in fact. Painstaking and
open-minded consideration is given
in every case regardless of whether
the taxpayer appears in person or by
attorney.
Persons or firms who offer to pros
ecute Gains against the Government
can secure no special consideration
beyond the merits of the claims as
determined by the facts and the law.
Any former government officer or
employee is barred by statute from
acting as counsel, attorney or agent
for prosecuting claims against the
United States which were pending
while he was an officer or employee;
and it is also barred from aiding in
any manner the prosecution of such
claims within two years after leaving
the government service.

Commissioner.

Warning Against Fake Experts On
Income Tax.

Portsmouth, N. H. January 27, 1919.
"A warning against flake experts"
on Income Tax has been sounded by
the Internal Revenue Bureau, in a
statement received by Collector Jones
from Commissioner Daniel G. Roper.
Business houses and individual
taxpayers are being canvassed this
year by numerous so-called Income
Tax Experts, who offer to use their
magic wands of Income Tax wisdom
to relieve the busy taxpayer from all
worries about his tax responsibilities
desire to make public announce
ment for the information of taxpay-
ers, that an investigation of the
qualifications of many of these Eek
perts' will disclose the fact that very
few have had the training and expert
ence that would place them anywhere
near the expert class.
Some of them were formerly tenn
poray employees Of the government
who are attempting to capitalize this
fact regardless of their personal
knowledge of the revenue laws and
regulations. Others are soliciting
clients on the strength of diplomas as
Income Tax Experts obtained after
long-distance courses by means of
printed instructions of doubtful
value.

is one of the biggest affairs of this
kind held in the city so far this sea-
son. The enrolment exceeded 1875 and
many others who had indicated their
intention of attending were prevented
by unforeseen circumstances from COM
ing. The corps Of instructors pro-
vided were above the ordinary in that
they were all practical men with a
working knowledge Of field condi-
tions as we'll as having thorough
mastery Of the subjects they were
scheduled TO teach. Those in attend
ance manifested the utmost interest
and attended each session as regu-
larry as a pupil in the public schools.
Every student who was present felt
that in, the course presented this year
by the Minot Motor Sales Co., they
were given as good instruction and in
some respects perhaps better drill in
the practical workings of tractor
than they could have obtained at snch
an institution as the state agricultu-
raj college. The management Of this
growing concern are highly gratified
over the outcome of their. efforts and
will repeat the venture again next
year with as many added attractions
as they are able to secure.
