YOU CAN CUT O A
Subscriptions to Victory Loan VIII
Tend to Reduce Taxation.

Uncle Sam unwittingly put out one
Of the best arguments for subscrip-
ton to the Victory Liberty Loan when
he sent around to us early this month
out blanks for the income tax reports.
Did you sit up and take notice when
you had figured yours out? Did 1t
startle you?
Large as it was, 1t would have to be
bigger II you and your neighbor had
not bought literally of the Liberty
Bonds of the past issues.
And II you want it to be smaller
next year you and your neighbor must
subscribe just as literally as you pos
sibly can to the Victory Liberty Loan
when the drive opens this month.
1t is plain as can be to you after
. little thought on the income tar
blank. The war debts have to be paid.
II they are not paid out Of loans they
will be paid out Of taxes.
And you didn't notice anything In
that income tax blank which said the
government would pay you interest OF
give you back what you paid.

DEAR A. ]. w.
ABOUT TWO weeks ago.
I READ about an editor.
WHO ALWAYS voted.
THE MOONSHINE ticket.
AND CAST several ballots.
EVERY DAY.
AND THE more he drank.
THE BETTER he could write.
ALTHOUGH HE didn't always use.
ANY GREAT amount of discretion
AND ONE day.
WHEN HIS wife left him.
OR HE fell heir to.
SOMEBODY'S FORTUNE.
OR SOMETHING else.
OF A pleasant nature.
HAD HAPPENED to him.

AND HE sat down.
AND WROTE a hot piece.
GUESSING OUT the sheriff.
AND EVERYTHING he'd done.
AND THE paper went to press.
AND THE editor.
READ HIS article.
AND WAS satisfied with it.
AND THE sheriff read it.
AND WASN'T satisfied.
AND WENT around.
AND CALLED on the editor.
TO PAY his respects.
AND HE paid them.
IN SUCH A manner.
THAT THE editor was left.
UNDERNEATH HIS desk.
WITH TWO black eyes.
AND A broken nose.
AND AS I said before.
I READ that article.
WITH CONSIDERABLE interest.
AND l made UP my mind.
RIGHT THEN and there.
