Diplomat and Lkerateur Who Is Writ.
ing Official History Of the Knights
Of Columbus With John Q. Kennedy.
| Egan Is a prolific writer of history, bi.
ography, fiction and poetry, and an
acknowledged figure In the realm OF
American literature. Mr.. Kennedy is
q well known newspaper writer, a
contributor Of poetry and fiction

most accomplished publicity produc-
ers developed during the war welfare

According to Peter w. Collins, d.
| rector Of the reconstruction and en-
ployment service Of the Knights Of

sons why most of the service men ap-

tons which would "run them In blind

never placed any Of tie nany thousand
men In a Job paying less than SIS per
week, ''nor. in any kind Of work TO
which the applicant Is not suited.
Despite the vigorous protest Of the
order against the oustiag Of all vel
fare workers from the military camps
and reservations Of tho army, there x
every indication that the policy OF the
war department. will be invoked. While
tho government order Of taking over
tho work Of welfare societies and put.
ting It IN the hands Of army officers
was directed against other organiza.

1900 COUNTIES HAVE
AGRICULTURAL AGENTS

There are now more than 1900
counties in the 33 northern and
western states which have county
agricultural agents, according to 0
statement issued by II. w. Gilbert
son, in charge OF county agent work
in the northern and western states.
These agents have been of especially
Igreat value in. carrying on war work
for increased production and conser-
vation. Thru these agents working
with farm bureau committeeman
more than one-third of a million
farms were assisted In securing or
locating four millions bushels OF
seed grain and campaigns for in
creased production carried on thru
these channels resulted in more than
6S, 100000 additional bushels OF
crop being produced. During the
past year considerable attention has
been given to livestock improve
ment; 125,50O COWS being discarded
as Improbable and more than 200,-
900 head of stock were bought or
sold with the assistance of farm bu-
reau and county agents. Consider
able attention was given to coopera-
tive buying and selling resulting in
saving nearly three and a half mil
lion dollars for the farmers. In one
Oregon county for example, the farm
ers pooled their orders for ten car
loads of sulphur to be used as a fer
tilizer.
In this county Mr.. Cate has done
splendid work especially in horti-
culture.
The training Of nearly 100 young
women in cutting blight and nearly
500 for assisting In thinning fruit
Is an exceptionally good piece of
work in solving the help problem.
The home demonstration work by
Miss Mccormick and the club work
carried on by Supt. Ager and Mr..
Morris is apparently very effective
and greatly appreciated by the peo-
pie of the county. All Of this work
will be greatly strengthened when
1t receives the cooperation of the
farm bureau.

MUST FILE INCOME TAX
RETURNS BY MARCH 15

Washington, ID. c., March 4.-The
work on the collection Of Sc, ,000, 900.
900 has been begun by the Bureau
OF Internal Revenue. This is the
estimated yield of the new revenue
bill. The income tax provisions of
the act reach the pocket-book OF
every single person in the United
States whose net income for 1918
was $1,000, or more, and of every
married person whose net income
was $4,000 or more. Persons whose
net income equalled or exceeded
these amounts, according to their
marital status, must file return OF
income with the collector Of internal
revenue for the district in which they
live on or before March Is.
Hereis what will happen to them
IL they don't; for failure to file
return on time, a fine of not more
than $1,000 and an additional as
sessment of 25 per cent of the
amount Of tax due.
For "wilfully refusing to make
return on time, a fine of not ex-
ceeding $4,000, or not exceeding
one years Imprisonment, or both.
For making a false or fraudulent
return, fine of not more than $1O,-
900, or Imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both, together with
an additional assessment of so per
cent Of the amount of tax levied.
For failure to pay the tax on time,
fine of not more than $1,000 and
an additional assessment of per
cent of the amount of tax unpaid,
plus per cent interest for each full
month during which 1t remains un-
paid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $2,-
600 personal exemptions, taxpayers
area allowed an exemption of 5000
for each person dependent upon
them for chief support If such per-
son is under eighteen years of age
and incapable of self-support. Under
the 1917 act, this exemption was al
lowed only for each dependent
child" The head of a family-one
who supports one or more persons
closely connected with him by blood
relationship, relationship by mar
riage, or by adoption-is entitled
to all exemptions allowed a married |
person.
The normal rate of tax under the
new act Is per cent OF the first
$4,000 of net income above the ex-
and IL per cent of the
net income in excess of $4,000. In
comes in excess of $4,000 are sub
ject also to a surtax ranging from
per cent of the amount of the net
income between $4,000 and $4,000
to 65 per cent of the net income
above $1,OOO,0OO,
Payment of the tax may be made
in full at the time Of filing return
or In four installments, on or before
March 15, on or before June 10, on
or before September Is, and on or
before December Is.
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers In making out their re-
turns. The date of their arrival and
he location of their offices may De

collectors of internal revenue, post
offices and banks. Failure to see
.hese officers, however, does not re-
ieve the taxpayer Of his obligation

within the time specified by law. In
his case taxpayers must seek the
Government, not the Government the
.axpayer.

barren mountains full OF caves
This is the land of the original
cave man. They used to sweep down
on the scattered hamlets and vii
lagos and steal themselves a squaw.
and whenever they found spring,
either half way up the mountains or
near the beach, they started a town.
First, big high church, then place
to buy sour wine, cognac or rum.
Then they built few more places
like the last. After a while a few
men and their families crowded thru
the brush and they built few
houses, then they built a wall about
the whole business. In the mean-|
time they planted out a few grape
vines for wine and some olive trees
for soup. Then they went over to
one Of the neighboring bergs and
made raid on it for a goat or two.
The old wall built about this berg
(Cattaro) was built 20O000000000O
years ago.. 1t is built V-shaped, up
side down. the point up the side of
the mountain and the wide part
along the beach. | Judge 1t is about
one-third of mile on all sides. 4
haven't been ashore yet, but can see
The mountains come down to the
water All the houses are of stone.
Some are modern, but are mostly an
tiquated. This is kind of a pocket
with only four hours of sunshine.
When you want to see the sun you
have to lie on your back and look
up. There is snow on the high peaks,
but is warm down here.

We dumped few tons up at Zeleni-
ka, will dump few here, then chase
over to some other hole. 1t looks as
tho We would peddle it all the way
from here to Trieste up north.
There are U. s. troops here. a
company Of them was sent over the
mountains to Montenegro, as they
are fighting there among themselves
as to who will be king. Guess you

This is only about eight or ten miles
from us. / don't know what the peo-
