BUYS PURE BRED
HERD
r. E. Ewing Purchases Blooded Red
Polled Cattle of w. NJ Potter

R. E. Ewing has purchased the w
NJ. Potter herd of registered Red Pol
cattle, consisting of five cows and a
bull These cattle are from the fam
Gus D. L. Young herd of Boise, which
has taken the first premiums at the
state fair for years.
The Red Polled breed originated in
Suffolk and Norfolk counties, England,
centuries ago, and their herd book has
been kept since 1874. These are truly
dual purpose breed, as is shown by
the record of "Jean Duluth Beauty"
who produced 20,2s0.6 pounds of milk
and S91.5 pounds of butterfat in 365
days, and gained 250 pounds in weight
during the year, weighing 1850 pounds
at close of test.
Mr.. Ewing is an enthusiastic breed
er of pure bred stock and is firm
believer in the statement, which has
become almost proverb, that it costs
as much 70 fatten a scrub as pure
bred, while the returns are many times
larger He is justly proud of his aris-
tocratic herd

The following letter was received
last week by Josef Helfert from hi:
cousin, Private Joseph E. Helfert, who
is with the u. S. Army base hospita
with the Italian army. The letter i:
dated Vicenza, Italy, January 25. The
young man enlisted from Kansas:
Some time ago, think it was,
dropped you a few lines. That may
be only dream, but at least meant
to write you just the same. | have
seen great deal of the many things
that l am sure would interest you.
have been right among the many Aus
trian prisoners that were taken during
the last big drive. | worked near
where they were even before the war
came TO an end and in that way
learned great deal about what was
going on in the interior. They told
me stories about what they had suf-
fered, but said that things were not
SO bad as pictured They themselves
were horrible sight. They were half
clothed and had had but very little to
eat while serving in the thickest of
battle for several weeks. 1t was not
an uncommon sight to see them fall
out of ranks when marching along
fall out from nothing but exhaustion
and the lack of food.
From the Italian side have looked
across the Piaye and could see Aus
tria. then went across the river on
pontoon bridges that had been built
by the English. We saw millions and
millions of rounds of ammunition that
had been left behind when the Aus
trians made their hasty retreat. And
take it from me, it was a hasty re-
treat they made.
While working in one of the dress
ing stations in the front line some
Austrian nurses were captured and
brought down there to help US. How
those women worked l will never
forget them. They would not eat un-
til every one of the men was taken
care of. Then they would snatch bit
to eat and get right back to work
again. 1t mattered not to them who
they were that were wounded. All
they were doing was trying to alleyi-
ate the suffering of the souls that
lay in that hole of hell. | called it
that, because of the fact that so many
wounded men were brought there, and
every one of them was seriously
wounded; enough to require amputa-
tion of either an arm or a leg.
But | am more than glad that this
war is over. l want to get back to
the best country on earth-the place
that gives you your freedom whether
you are poor or rich. All are on an
equal basis there and there is room
at the top for everyone.

INCOME TAX WILL Be
DUE MARCH IS
Bill Provides Heavy Penalties
for Failure to File Returns
on or Before That Date

Work on the collection Of billion
dollars has been begun by the bureau
of internal revenue. This is the esti-
mated yield of the new revenue bill
The income tax provisions of the act
reach the pocketbook of every single
person in the United States whose net
income for 1913 was $1,000 or more,
and of every married person whose net
income was $1,000 or more. Persons
whose net income equalled or exceed
ed 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.
Here is what will happen to them
if they don't: For failure to file a
return on time, a fine of not more
than $1,000 and an additional assess
ment Of 25 per cent of the amount of
tax due For willfully refusing to
make return on time, a fine not
exceeding $4,000, or not exceeding
one years Imprisonment, or both. For
making false or fraudulent return,
fine of not more than $4,000, or
Imprisonment for not more than one
year, or both, together with an addi-
tiOnal assessment of so per cent of
the amount of tax eyaded. For fail
ure 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 it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $1,000
personal exemptions, taxpayers are al
lowed an exemption OF $500 for each
person dependent upon them for chief
support if such person is under 10
years of age and incapable of self
support. Under the 1917 act, this ex-
emption was allowed 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
or by adoption-is entitled
to all exemption 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 exemptions,
and II per cent of the net income in
excess of $4,000. Incomes in excess of
$4,000 are subject also to a xurt2x

Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid
axpayers in making out their re-
urns. The date of their arrival and
he location of their office may be as
ertained by inquiring at offices of
ollectors of internal revenue, post
'ffices and banks. Failure to see
hese officers, however, does not re-
ieve the taxpayer of his obligation
o file his return and pay his tax
within the time specified by law. In
his case taxpayers must seek the
government, not the government the

 Only one accident marked the day. when Cliff Durant, millionaire Cali fornia sportsman, had a narrow escape from death. Durant. one of the favor ties in the race. and winner of the Sam ta Monica, California. road race. was attempting to pass another car on the back stretch and just as he pulled alongside. rear wheel picked up a stone, which struck Durant above the temple, temporarily stunning him.
 Durant lost control of the car. which veered off the road while speeding l1o miles an hour, turned completely over three times and knocked down four tel egraph poles in it's plunge. It finally landed upside down. Spectators were amazed to see Durant and his mechan- ician, Fred Conner, crawl from the damaked car uninjured except for minor bruises.

SO NEAR THEY ARE
 THOUGH BELIEVING
 THEY ARE YET SO FAR

That the world is very large place after all, was demonstrated all night, Friday, when Charles A Stauffer, busi- ness manager of The Republican, whose motor car had broken down a few miles west of Buckeye, slept within few yards of his would-be rescuers at Buckeye, and no one was the wiser until the morning sun disclosed the pe- culiar mishap.
 A telephone message was received at The Republican Friday night stating that MT. Stauffer who was en route from the coast had broken down 20 miles west of Buckeye; that he would be lowed into that place, and that he requested Wesley w Knorpp of The Republican to come out and bring him in.
 Knorpp calculated the time it would require for the broken machine to be lowed in, and decided the best time to arrive at Buckeye would be about 1 o'clock in the morning. Accompanied by another member of The Republican staff, Knorpp did arrive at Buckeye and started in to wait for the missing machine and driver.
 Three hours of weary waiting, punc- tuated by a visit to the Buckeye ice house and a ramble around town which took, all told a few minutes were the only exciting events of the evening. Buckeye proved to be fine place to spend the night in, if the ce- ment sidewalks had not been so hard, and the running board of Buick roadster had been shaped a little more like bed.
 The two rescuers decided it was best to go to bed, trusting that Mr. Stauff- CTS machine which they thought was being lowed in off the desert, would awaken them After having tried the seat of his runabout and finding it too short, the running board, and finding 1t too narrow, Knorpp finally com promised by using Buckeyes wide ee- ment walk as a bed and bundle of newspapers as a pillow. His companion tried to break his back by reposing his body in the seat of the runabout and allowing his feet to hang out over the the side
 In all. several minutes of sleep were acquired by the waiting pair.
 At daybreak the reseuers repaired to the Buckeye restaurant, acquired a stack of wheats' and went back to their vigil. Noticing that a lonely cot had become visible out of the morning mist, Knorpp inspected it, and decided it was softer than a sidewalk. He ac- 1 quired some more sleep.
 The garage later opened and the two watchers went inside to make inquiries l There, calmly reposing in the seat of his car, was Charles A. Stauffer, who explained he had ben occupying the cot outside, but that he had become cold and had gone inside. The two parties had been spending the night within 50 yards of each other, the mistake having occurred because of a mix up in time and distance as phoned to The Re- l publican.
 A few minutes work on the alleged broken down car, which was supposed to have frozen engine, put it in shape to run again, and the two cars came back to Phoenix, none the worse fol wear, but the two watchers and wait ers'' agreed that the morale curve. as far as they were concerned, had reached zero.
