Let's All Go Along
TO MOrgdn's Show
REDWOOD COUNTY INVITED TO
s ATTEND POULTRY SHOW AT
MORGAN FEB. rs, q, %.
THURSDAY BIG DAY.
SHOULD HELP VILLAGE
TO MAKE FIRST SHOW A
BIG SUCCESS.

Redwood County should extend the
right hand of good fellowship and
lhelpfulness to Morgan which is this
week staging the first Poultry Show in
Redwood County, and the best way of
doing this is to attend in large num-
bers. Thursday promises to be the big
| day and every resident of Redwood
Falls and vicinity who can possibly do
so is urged to attend the meeting on
that day.
The Morgan Messenger has the fol-
| lowing to say concerning this show.
"There are indications that large
number of farmers and other poultry
ralsers of the community will enter
specimens from their flocks and this
will be a feature of the show that will
not only be pleasing to the local com
mittees who have interested themselv-
es in the various arrangements but
will be gratifying to the County Asso-
citation and it's officers for it is largely
for the PURPOSE of stimulating interest
in the poultry industry in the differ
ent localities that the association will
hold the show at different points from
year to year instead of at any one
place, even though tim light be cen
trally located. The Morgan commu-
nifty can show that it appreciates be-
ing the first choice of the Association
in no better way than. by large num-
Der of poultry raiSors of the communi-
ty entering exhibits.
Requests for premium lists are COM
ing in from the various surrounding
towns and probably every town in the
county will be well represented. Sew
eral of the Brown county communities
are taking a interest in the show and
there have boen inquiries by mail,
phone and in person from Brown coun-
ty folks.
at wouldn't be at all surprising if
the Redwood county show as the ini-
tial exhibition for the county will be
as big a success as the older shows of
some of the neighboring counties.
"The spacious city hall will furnish
fine quarters for the exhibit and allow
the proper display of exhibits and will
permit the proper care of show birds.
even though the weather might be
very cold at the time.
"The new wire coops purchased by
the Association for exhibition purpos-
es have arrived and will be used to ex-
hibit the birds at the show.
sit might not be out of place to a.
gain call attention to the fact that
this will be a poultry show not mere
ly chicken show While of course
chickens will strongly predominant,
liberal prizes are offered, for exhibits
of turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons, pb2a-
SAINTS and guinea fowls. Chickens can
be entered singly or in pens, turkeys
singly but the other fowls should be
entered in pairs.
"The Catholic ladies and the Ladies
Aid society and the Royal Neighbors
will each serve dinner one day during
the show, and the visitors will be
able to secure a meal of home made
vituals at a nominal price. Dinner
will be served in the vacant corner
building opposite Fenske & Dittben-
ner's place.

A MILLION DOLLARS. =

An accounting of it's activities dur
ing the war and of it's financial expen-
ditures was made by the State Public
Safety commission to the legislature
recently. The report shows the COM
mission investigated 1,408 reports of
sedition, interference with Liberty
Loan work, and violations of orders
of the body, and expended S756,O65.77
in carrying on it's work. On Jan. /,
the report shows, there was balance

appropriated for the commission.
Reports demanding the attention Of
the commission included 682 sedition
cases, 226 complaints against dance
halls, 2O8 violations of the work or
der, interference with the Liberty
Loan 118, and teaching German in
school ia Each complaint received
the attention it demanded.
Majority Favor War.
Under the head of "suppressing dis
loyalty,' the report states that it is
hard to realize, at the close of the war
the extent of the Indifference, pacifist
sentiment and even opposition to the
war which prevailed in Minnesota two
years ago.
ssWhile even before our country en-
tered the war many of our people, the
report says, irrespective of their radi-
al origins or affiliations, appreciated
the significance of the contest in Eur
ope and were heartily in favor of the
United States entering the war. But
this was by no means true of all our
people.
Many of our people did not under
stand the principles governing ocean

rights of the country and its citizens

"The Star welcomes this pro-Ger-

it feels that the field is large enough

that there IS much cleaning up to do

THAN MARCH Is.
NO EXTENTION GIVEN
FORMS FOR TAX RETURNS WILL
BE IN HANDS OF COLLECTORS
BY MARCH 1.

There will be no general extension
of time beyond March 15 for the filing
of returns and for the payment OF
income and excess profits taxes due
on that date is the decision of Daniel
GO. Roper. commissioner of internal
revenue, This announcement was
made by Collector Lynch Immediately
following the approval by the senate
and house Of the report of the con-
ferees on the new revenue bill recent
".
ct is necessary to get the initial tax
payments in by March Is, says Com
missioner Roper. mo other course is
possible. Some months ago, the treas
ury issued certificates of Indebtedness
to an amount approximating $8,O0O,-
600 900, maturing March ID. The first
payment of the income and excess
profits taxes for 1913 was planned for
that date, to meet this huge Obllga-
ton.
Emergency Must Be Met.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation
This present situation is another en-
ergency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort. The bureau ex-
tends its every force toward this end,
and I am relying upon the people to
meet the situation whole-hrartedly
"The international revenue bureau
must carry out the programme pre-
scribed in the new law, which re-
ouires all returns for 1913 to be filed
on or before March Is, 1919, and re-
quires the first quarterly payment or
the entire payment to be made on or
before that date.
Urged to Pay Tax.
every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
Is. The quarterly payment method IS
intended for taxpayers, whose flnanc-
ing of the tax at one time would tend
to upset financially conditions.
ssThe approval of the report OF the
conferees by the senate and house OF
brings the new revenue
bill to the point where it may be as
|sumed to be law The internal revenue
has been making preparations to col
.lect the taxes which it provides, and
is now putting all of its efforts into
aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the OBJ
legations imposed.
An Advisory Force.
seThe bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thousand
of deputies and agents to assist tax
payers. These officers will be stationed
at convenient points where they may
be consulted without charge. Tax
payers should take the initiative and
get in touch with these revenue men
for any needed advice and assistance
in preparing returns.
seThe forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be in
the hands of collectors between Feb
ruary Is and March !"
