Salisbury Reports received from
all the counties ON the Eastern Shore
OF Maryland as well as Sussex coun-
ty. Delaware. are that there is dis
agreement between the tomato grow
ers and the packers as to the price for
tomatoes this year. The growers say
that they must receive a good price
or no tomatoes will be grown and
the packers say that the price must
be reasonable or there will be no
packing done, so the situation at
present is entirely up in the air,
During the past few weeks the
market has broken so badly as to
leave many OF the packers who failed
to sell their pack in position to lose
thousands Of dollars. and from re-
ports received from the Navy and
War Departments il is not likely that
the government will be in the market
for any considerable quantity Of
canned goods this year as the surplus
stocks now on hand are said to be
sufficient to last for year or more.
This being the case the packers can
not sell their futures and they refuse
to be tied up on any agreement TO
buy tomatoes at high prices for this
years packing.
The farmers are equally as sure
they will not put in large acreage
of tomatoes at the present high prices
Of fertilizer. labor and seed unless
they can see some daylight ahead as
to fair price for their crop,

FOR A MILITARY

War Department Announces Data As

AS a NATIONAL POLICY

Overwhelming in
i6rsement Of a universal military
training system. coupled with equally
itrong support for the existing dis
eipliuary relationship between ON
GERS and men Of the army, was ex-
pressed by representative group OF
he selectlve service men Of the
twelfth Division. Camp Devens.
dass. Just before the organization
was demobilized last January the
opinions Of the men, numbering
1880, with an average length OF
service OF 10,7 months, were obtained
through carefully arranged ques-
tionnaire system with every safe
guard provided to insure absolutely
ires expression of opinion and with
such distribution in the division as
20 make the answers representative.
The report on the inquiry was
made public at the War Department.
It is headed:
Our military system as It ap-
peared to Americas citizen soldiers. !"
Although half of the men ques-
toned were rated as dissatisfied with
military life, the report shows that
1915 per cent. of the replies expressed
the soldiers belief that he personally
had benefited by his army life, 70
per cent. were glad of their training
aside from feelings of patriotism and
SIS per cent. favored universal mill
tary training as national policy.
A substantial majority agreed that
the existing relationship between
officers and men was necessary and
disapproved the social mixing of the
rank and file.
The largest number Of suggestions
as to improvements in the service re-
eeived had to do with better fitting
uniforms or changes in mess arrange
ments
There were more than 10000 men
in the Twelfth Division at the time
of the inquiry, representing ~ States.
The organization was awaiting orders
for France when the armlstice was
signed. 1t then suffered more than
two months of waiting for demobili-
zation before the questionnaires were
sent out. and the officers who devised
and supervised the inquiry point out
that it was thus calculated to reflect
army morale at its low ebb.
Every provision was made to as
certain the views Of discontented
men in order that the results might
have real value of the army. The
commanders of the 80 companies
were furnished with IS question
naires each, and instructed to give
them to six men OF high intelligence
and rated as good soldiers. to six
others Of equal intelligence but sup
posed to be discontented with army
life, to three good soldiers Of aver
age intelligence and to three others
of average intelligence who had in
dicated views hostile to military dis
cipline. The men were told to sub
NIT their answers only Immediately
upon or after discharge so no fear
of subsequent action by their officers
would impede the free expression of
their views.

Memorials To The Heroic Oeao.
As memorials to the heroic soldiers
and sailors who sacrificed their lives
in the great war shall there be a
local Community House or Liberty

more Community Service are seek
ing to ead out which OF the sug-
gestions - preferred, and with that
object in view is distributing

plans
A Memorial House would be pro-
vided with suitable inscriptions, tab
lets, historical room. war museum
or war library, maintained in honor
OF those who served in the great war.
A Community Home Is for recre-
ational. civic, art, and education ae-
tlvities
The Community Service is studi-
ously refraining from expressing
preference for either plan II mere
ly seeks to stimulate thought on the
subject. 1t declares that the Com
munity House has a most useful
sphere in some localities. while the
Liberty Building is more rational in

masses OF people than a Liberty
House. At the same time, Il is
pointed out, there is no reason why
there should not be a combination
OF the two suggestions
The Community House presents
one problem in large city. quite a
different one in the small town. In
the large city a central building,
housing all the community social
activities is out of the question. The
Board of Commerce. the Y. NJ. c.

city memorial community house
would necessarily be planned pri-
marily for large civic needs, leaving
the residential sections to build their
memorials in the form of neighbor-
hood houses or district clubs
In the small town the problem is
simpler. In addition to serving the
relatively few public needs a Com

THE BUREAUS EXPLANATION


Washington. Persons who neg
Iected to pay the first installment OF
income taxes March Is. have lost
the installment payment privilege
and must now pay their entire tax
upon demand of revenue collector.
To avoid the penalty OF 25 per
cent. in addition to the regular tax,
persons who failed to file returns
March IS, may now submit belated
returns with a sworn statement OF
the reason for delinquency With
out this the penalty will be imposed
These policies. announced by In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper,
are intended to grant degree OF
leniency to those who, for some legi-
innate reason. failed to file their re-
turns when they were due. BY law.
however. the instaliment payment
privilege is removed from all failing
to make payments on time. and the
Internal Revenue Bureau has no au-
thority to change this provision.
A Revenue Bureau statement, in
explanation, follows;
Revenue collectors will accept all
delinquent returns presented after
March is and deposit any payment
made Herewith, Under law failure
to make first payment by March is
automatically makes the whole tax
payable Immediately. Taxpayers fl
ing income returns subsequent to
March is. therefore. must pay In
full. but il the taxpayer submits a
partial payment he will be notified
of the balance due later in the regn-
lar procedure of listing and sending
notices. In reference to the penalty
of 25 per cent. additional tax for all
delinquents. the policy will be to pro-
coed sympathetically in accordance
with the regulations permitting the
taxpayer, if he desires, TO file an
affidavit within 10 days explaining
the cause of delinquency
The statement was taken to indi-
cate that persons who paid their
taxes idteI IMAM ndtuFudg may nave
as much as so days in which to pay
the remaining three-quarters.
Revenue collectors have been in
structed to use their own discretion
in determining what constitutes a
reasonable cause for failure to make
returns or payments on time.
In some cities. according to re-
ports reaching Commissioner Roper
today. collectors offices were unable
to accommodate the last hour rush
of applicants and these returned to-
day to file returns in person and
make payments. In some of these
cases it is possible that the require
ment that they pay all installments
on demand may not be enforced.
Reports today showed that hun.
dreds Of thousands of small taxpay-
ers paid their entire taxes Saturday
and failed to take advantage OF the
installment privilege

DOUBLE BILL FROM VISITORS


Outplaying their opponents during
every moment of the game, the
Chickasha high school basket ball
team DEBATED the FL Reno high
school quintet on the local court by
a 27-7 score last night.
Every member of the Chickasha
five played a spectular and ag-
gressive game, while Bonebrake,
COnklin and Jeide, were the pre-
mier players for the visitors. Greene,
of Chickasha topped the scoring list
with Is points: Phillips ranked next
with four baskets to his credit.
Jeide, Ell Reno star, chalked up six
of the Z points accredited to his
team.
Time after time, the combination
of Adams, Fields and Johnson iso-
lated many of the Ell Reno plays
and advanced the ball into Chick
sha territory. Phillips and Greene
also displayed classy floor work.
Although outweighed several
pounds, Adams and johnson to air
tight guarding and allowed Jeide
and Wallace only a few chances to
register scores. Attempts at short
passes near the Chickasha goal,
proved disastrous to the Ell Reno
five
