Approachinu nPerpetuaI."

or course, there Is still unsolved the
old riddle of perpetual motion, which
thousands of cranks have spent their
lives upon in the past. Scientists tell
us that there is no perpetual motion
known even to astronomy, so that 1t
will never be discovered on earth The
world, they say, is slowly checking itS
speed round the sun, and its diurnh
revolution, but so slowly as to be i'm
perceptible within historic times, and
the sun they say is dying fire which
will be extinct in a few hundred billion
years. Yet the discovery of radium,
with its apparently inexhaustible ener-
gy, rather shook the scorn with which
the ideal of perpetual motion used to
be regarded, and if machine could
be constructed to 60 for twenty years,
on its own as it were, it would be
perpetual" enough for all ordinary
purposes!

A. r. Rogers, Chairman of the Dis

paid for and they are cheap at any

Japanese WrestIers.

Because of their enormous stature
and girth it has often been assumed
by foreigners that Japanese wrestlers
are race apart, strange little group
Of native giants handed down from
antiquity. As matter of fact the
wrestlers, recruited from the fishing
farming and forester classes, have
splendid physique to begin with, and
become strong and muscular through
their long training and the encour-
agement that is given to their vora-
ciOus appetites. Friends are very
fond of giving them big banquets and
are amused to see how much they can
eat. One prominent trainer, when in
yited by his backers to dinner, took
all his students along with him, say
Ing: "All my followers come along
with me who can drink a gallon of
sake apiece" There is touch OF the
Rabelaisian in it, especially when one
contrasts it with the usual foreign inn
preston of the dainty tea-sipping,
cherry-feting japanese.

campaign for Thrift In order that
this shall be complete success, we
are convinced that it is necessary to

are the means to a great end. We

A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex-
emption of $4,000 If they make sep
arate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy is necessary in
making up income figures. Any per-
son who is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank interest, bond interest, dividends,
rents received and all other items
must he reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper adj
ministration of the law.

Changed Conditions.
"The condition of the world In
which we live and of our country have
been wonderfully changed by this war.
Formerly, whenever we wanted to
finance a great development project
in America we went to Europe for the
funds. At the beginning of the war
Europe owned six billion dollars worth
of our Securities. Today these have
been paid up and we hold practically
eight bislion dollars worth Of Europes
promises to pay Think of what that
means! 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or industrial development we cannot
go to France or England for it. We
must get it in America. In order that
these necessary sums Of money may
be available, we of America must Gre
ate new wealth, must eliminate waste,
must save-not few individuals but
the great mass of our people must
save and thus amass the dollars that
win make possible our development
and prosperity.
The Governments Program.
with these facts in mind, the Gov
eminent has decided to carry on a
widespread and intensive educational
campaign of Thrift and Americaniza-
ton.
THE War Savings Campaign Of
1919 is the first step In this program.
The Treasury expects to realize this
year from the sale of War Savings
Stamps sufficient sum to materially
assist in financing the war budget be-
fore the end of the year
The Government hopes through the
1919 Campaign to establish Thrift as
q permanent habit of the American
people for the lasting prosperity and
enduring strength of the nation.
Regular saving is the sound test
of thrift and a sure foundation for in
yestment. The backbone of the cam
paign is the War Savings society.
I'm this great Ninth Federal Re-
serve District we hope to do our full
share. Our people have never failed
to respond to the call Of duty. and
that call is as urgent now as It was
In 1917 or 1918. Because an individ-
ual has. done his duty conspicuously up
until now does not excuse him from
further efforts. There can be slack
ors in naaca firnao 90 well as in war
times, and our organization viii work
untiringly to see that all of the pec-
pie Of these Northwest states realize
their duty and do it. incidentally,
while we are performing our duty to
the nation and unfolding the honor
OF our district, state and community,
we will be doing favor to ourselves

Mere Incident in Cats Life.
You're not obliged to believe the fol-
lowing story, nor even strain your
Imagination over it. The Bath (Maine)
Times tell it., About four years ago a
Bath man went smelt fishing off a
wharf on the riverside and when he
returned leaned up his pole on which
was his fishing line in corner of the
kitchen. Attached to the hook was a
minnow for live bait and this was
wriggling on the hook, when the mans
pet black coon cat espied the fish
and made for it. Before the owner
could prevent. the cat had swallowed
the fish and the hook. 1t was impos-
sible for the man to pull out the hook
without killing his pet so he cut the
line, leaving the bait and the hook and
q small portion of the line within the
cOony. The cat seems to have as
simulated the hook, for she never has
shown any symptoms of discomfort
from her strange meal and\ is still
alive and in apparent good health.
