the prices rise the cost Of things has spoiled my life and
kept me heavng sghs. No matter what wished to buy,

"he prices have gone up" So was full of unshed tears
and was grim and cross Grape tassels my ears
felt total loss bought my artchoke and cried How
much are yonder eggs" lot of hen fruit I'd deserted
displayed in crates and kegs The grocer glanced around
my way, and seemed to wear frown, and then me-
thought heard him say, "The price of eggs is down"
sad my ears are on the blink else am insane; I'll
have to see the doc thnkust make that spiel again.
The grocer looked with dreamy eyes upon the drowsy

INCOME TAX REPORTS.

AS result of the delay of congress in passing the
revenue act every citizen subject to the income tax
likely to find himself inconvenienced.
The tax return for last years income must be made
to the internal revenue office not later than March 18TH
and less than onequarer of the tax must be paid by
the same date Most people still uncertain about the
laws meaning and application. There has been little
time for explanation In many districts the blank forms
are not yet distributed and when the taxpayers get them
they will have to devote considerable study to them and
their financial records in order to make report any
where near accurate.
Nearly everybody will do his best, undoubtedly, to
make his report and payment the allotted day. But
in case of inability it will be manifesty unfair to subject
the innocent citizen to penalty for delay when the de-
lay is the fault of congress.
