HIS CHANCE.

I'm his chance! 1t came to me.
While he was sitting on my knee.
l seemed to see the distance glow
With all the things l wished to know.
What will he do in future years?
What will he be when age appears?
What is his chance in life? What joy
Or sorrow now awaits my boy?
I've faced the world. I've played its
game,
I've seen its scarlet side of shame
And tramped its many winding ways
In my remembered yesterdays.
And I was true and l was brave.
According as my father gave.
He fitted me as best he could
To meet life'S trials as l should.
He struggled that 1 might possess
The knowledge needed for success:
He showed me by examples fine
The cha cter that should be mine.
He sacrificed himself that he
Might give the best life held to me.
My chance to meet the tests alone
Was in the father 1 had known
Now I'm his chance. And he shall rise
But by the lessons that I give
The man that he shall some day be
Shall speak the best or worst of me.
AS I have taught he shall advance
God grant shall not spoil his chance.

Three thousand internal revenue

zones throughout the United States.
will enforce prohibition after July 1.
according to plans announced today
by the revenue bureau. Nearly 500
inspectors will be trained for the
work. to be added to the force of
2.2S3 revenue agents already available
for police regulation, and the ma
chinery for enforcement will be in
working order before the date when
absolute prohibition becomes effective.
This force of special agents will be
distributed among the districts where
law violation is threatened to the
largest extent. and special attention
will be paid to cities where revenue
officials look for most persistent ef-
forts to make whisky illegally. In
addition, the revenue authorities plan
to cooperate with local police, and
to leave the greater part OF the en-
forcement work to these authorities
in localities where the police appear
efficient. Without such a plan the
force of even 5000 federal agents
would be insufficient to police the
entire country.
Although manufacture of liquor for
personal use Will De equally 1ileSdt l
with the production for sale. revenue
agents are expected to devote most of
their time to the commercial traffic,
and to leave the enforcement of the
law against personal manufacture to
local police.

ing on a plan to divide the country
into zones which will be independent
in many cases from the sixtyfour
collectors zones already established.
One chief inspector will be assigned
to each zone. with as many assist
ants as the character of the terri
tory indicates necessary. The men
will be especially trained in detec-
ton work, most having served in
that capacity for many years. AL
though heretofore liquor violations
have been found by revenue agents
mainly among moonshiners Of south
ern mountains, prohibition is expect
ed to stimulate Illicit distillation
enormously in cities, where the de-
mand will be most constant and con-
sequently where greater profits from
the occupation can be reaped.
One aspect of liquor law violations
has grown out OF the hundreds of re-
ceipts for home manufacture of beer,
ale wines and even distilled liquors,
now being circulated in all parts of
the country. Booklets and printed
pamphlets of these receipts have
reached revenue officials from scores
of cities. 1t was explained today that

LICE ON TURKEYS

-Four species of lice are commonly
found on turkeys in this country.
One of these, which occurs particu-
larly on turkeys associated with
chickens, is the common body lous.
Of chickens. This specise is no
found in great numbers on turkeys,
but it sometimes becomes sufficient
ly abundant to cause considerable ir-
ritation and doubtless is injurious
both to the grown fowls and to the
young. The shaft louise Of chickens
also has been found on turkeys, but
probably does not breed on that host.
The other two species seem to be ma.
tive to the turkey, probably existing
on this fowl in the wild state. The
large turkey louise probably is most
abundant. 1t occurs on the feathers
on various parts of the body, espe-
cially on the neck and breast. The
slender turkey louise is a species of
good size, though rather elongated,
resembling in shape the head louise
of chickens. Normally neither of
these species is excessively abundant,
but on crippled untlrifty turkeys
they may cause serious annoyance
and undoubtedly are injurious to the
poults.

Miss Anne Ross, descendant OF

the doughboy trail from Paris right
up into Germany, serving as Y. M.

very much impressed with the Boche
"'super-warrior" as she finds him iii
his native haunts. "Too fat" is her
frequent comment on the Coblenz
residents.
Miss Ross, or Princess Galilohi, to
use her Indian name, has just been
assigned to Coblenz as an entertain

her own accompaniment with a tom

New Tax on Cigars and Tobacco,

new lax on ClSdTS anu
George F. Crutchley, collect
or of internal revenue, has been
advised by the Department at
Washington that the revenue bill
now pending before congress will
probably be enacted at an early
date.
1t is important that all dealers
should make inventories com
plete before beginning business
on the day the law becomes eff
fective. The date of enactment
can be obtained from the daily
newspapers.
In determining the quantities
on hand the chewing tobacco
should be carefully weighed and
the total number of pounds Civ
en-. The totals of the different
size packages of smoking to-
bacco should be entered sepa-
rately, giving the name of brand
and number of packages of the
different weights on separate
lines of inventory. Cigars on
hand should be given under
name, of brand, the retail price
and the different values, Glass A,
Class B, Glass c, Class D in
separate columns. Also sepa-
rate the small cigars, Of less
than 3 pounds pew 1000, from
those of more than 8 pounds per
1000.
This inventory should be pre-
served until the regular blanks
can be furnished by the Internal
Revenue office. After receipt of
same the returns can be for
warded with remittance in pay
ment of the tax.
Any person not receiving a
form within a few days after
the passage of the Act, should
write the Collector for such
form, as the failure to receive
notice or form from Collector
does not relieve the taxpayer
from the tax and penalty, if the
return is not made and tax paid
within the time required by
law.

This was to be our training
