GIVES FIRST DONATION
FOR SALVATION ARMY

The first quarter out of four mil
lion quarters to be raised in the
South by the Salvation Army, for
their Home Service Work, was con-
tributed today by Sergeant James
Thompson, of Birmingham, AL, who
is back from France after eighteen
months service with the Rainbow Di-
vision. He was awarded the CrOix
De Cure for exceptional bravery.
When told that the Salvation Army
was planning to raise half million
dollars in this section, Sergeant
Thompson asked to have the honor
of making the first contribution to
the fund, stating that he had resolv-
ed never again to miss an opportunity
to help these real folks" as he term
ed them. ...
''For the number Of workers that
they had," said Sergeant Thompson,
"the Salvation Army rendered great

ABOUT CANNED TOMA-
TOES HELD BYJARMY

trF .
Rumors to the effect that prices
for tomatoes at canneries will be low
err this year because canned tomatoes
held by the Government will be
thrown on the market are said to be
current in some producing sections.
The War Department has just an
nounced an increase in the amount of
canned tomatoes issued as a part of
the Army ration and has added the
following canned vegetables to the
regular ration: Peas, string beans,
corn, pumpkin and squash. In this
connection officials of the Quarter
master Generals Office have stated
that these changes in the rations of
canned vegetables will entirely dis
pose of the stocks held by the Army
and that none of these will be sold.

Atlanta, Ca, April 17.--It was the

shooter, who was playing havoc jim
the Argonne. ..g'..
The German, it seems, was perched
in tree, clinging to limb and was
entirely obscured from view. He fired
on a detachment Of soldiers of the
Eighty-second division and was pick
ing them off right and left. He had
killed two and wounded five. Bell,
with unusual keenness of eye, finally
spotted the Hun. Slowly and deliber-
ately he took aim and second later
the Hun sharpshooter fell to- the,

TAX ON FOUNTAIN DRINKS
GOES ON TODAY

Washington, April 3O.-The In
ternal Revenue Bureau today in q
statement to the public, discussed
the methods of collecting tax on soft
drinks.
These examples We're given Of tax
able drinks, when mixed and sold at
the fountain for consumption on the
premises:
orargeade, lemonade, pineapple
Juice, COca-Cola, root beer. moXie,
Dhosphates, fruit and havoring
sirups mixed with carbonated water
or plain water, milk shakes, matted
milk shakes, cream and egg shakes,
ice cream, ice cream sodas, sundaes,
icream sandwiches, favored ices
These drinks are not taxable:
Hot beef tea, coffee, tea, butter
milk, milk, hot chocolate, hot clam
broth, tomato bouilllon and bottle
drinks sold direct from the contain
er. Separate manufacturers taxes
are imposed on drinks of the latter
class.
Ice cream is not taxable when sold
in containers to be carried away from
the selling place to be eaten. Ice
| cream cones are taxable. Bromo
seltzer, rochelle salts, sedlitz pow
ders, castor oil, epson salts and sim
iliar medicines often served at soda
fountains are not subject to the tax.
Soft drink stands or push cart en-
terprises are subject TO the tax, but
restaurants or other places serving
ice cream or soft drinks as an Incl
dental feature of the business are
not required to collect or pay the
tax. Church "sociab'es' and clubs
are exempt, but booths at country
fairs must collect the tax.
Five and 10 cent drinks or dishes
will be taxed l cent, while 10 and 20
cent drinks will be taxed 2 cents,
and the tax will be collected from
the purchasers, unless the soda foun-
tain keeper chooses to reduce his
prices to include the extra tax item
The general manner in which the
new luxury" tax, effective May /,
is to be levied was also defined to-
day by the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue. This law imposes
tax upon certain articles sold at re-
tail in excess of specified price
which is to be paid by the purchaser
to the merchant, who will be requir-
ed to render returns ever month.
The Hayti herald., 1919-05-01

The tax is TO be measured by the
price for which the article is sold,
and not the list price
The tax will be 10 per cent OF the
amount pai3 in excess of the price
mentioned in the luxury tax act. IN
der the ruling today, if an article is
purchased and the tax paid but the
article is later returned the tax is to
be refunded
Ordinary repairs or alterations are
not taxable. The unit of measure
ment in determining the price for
the purpose of the tax on carpets and
rugs is the square yard, and fringe
will not be considered in computing
the yardage. The methods of keep
ing accounts, number and amount
of sales of each of the taxable arti-
cles, including any credits or re-
funds, and the books of every person
liable to tax shall be open at all
times for the inspection of examin-
ing revenue officers.
In computing the tax fractional
part of cent is to disregarded unless
it amounts to one-half of a cent or
more, in which case it shall be in
creased to a full cent.

APPEALS TO THE INDIANS
Cato Sells in Discussion of War Saw.
inss Draws a Lesson For
Everybody.

Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian
affairs, has made an appeal to workers
in the Indian service to do everything
possible to help make a success of the
1918 War Savings campaign. Mr..
Sells not only gives a searching analy.
Sis of the motives for thrift, but sug.
gests plan for making the thrift
movement an instrument for bringing
the Indian to his full stature of in,
dependent, selfreliant citizenship.
The commissioner urges the work,
ers TO bring home to the Indians, par.
ticularly the young and middle-aged
the immediate and lasting benefits
OF savings made with a right purpose
This practice, he points out, must
have worthy aim as its economic
virtue and when, he says, boys and
girls are thus properly started their
little income investments commit
them concretely TO that aim, and by
repetition develop the elements OF
manly and womanly character"
M. Sells sounds the keynote of the
governments great thrift campaign,
when he says: Il ask you, therefore
TO push the sale of Victory Notes and
war stamps vigorously as an educa
tional and economic matter no less
than patriotic one, and to do every.
thing practicable to get Indians, young
and old, in the way of earning money
and saving some part of it, for thrift
investment, and that you discourage
cashing such stamps prior to maturity
except in case of extreme need"

The Doughboy's Aversions
/. Cowardice.
2. Selfshness.
3. Braggadocio.


8. Braggadocio.
These, in the estimation of the
American doughboy, are the three
cardinal sins of the soldier And
equally they must be Stunned by
every American citizen, especially on
the eve of the Victory Loan.
Cowardice: This weakness rarely
crops out among American fighters
and it is despicable quite as much in
civil life as on the field of battle. The
coward in the Victory Loan campaign
is the contempt BILE individual who lis
tens to the pro-German propagandists
and fails to do his or her duty toward
making the Victory Loan the great
success 1t must be If we are to fulfill
all our pledges to our fighters, our
allies and the great human family.
Selfishness: On the firing line this
mean trait occasionally manifests IT.
self in the man who thinks more of
his own skin than he does of his COM
rades life In ordinary associations
we see more of it. Fortunately, self
ishness can do little harm in the Vic
tory Loan campaign. Self.interest will
prompt even those whose guide and
rule of conduct it is in almost every
thing to realize that their own future
prosperity depends upon the success
of the Victory Loan-the safest and
best investment they can make. The
more Government not $ they buy for
cash or on time payments, the better
off they will be in this worlds goods
no matter if they ignore other and
higher considerations.
Braggadocio: The typical Hun is a
combination of brag and buster and
sniveling and cringing. The American
fighter has taken the "B" out of "brag''
so far as the Hun is concerned, and he
will not tolerate Dragging even among
his own kind The civilian should fol
| low the fighters example. Don't brag.
Don't attempt to glorify yourself by
telling what you have done for the gov
| ernment, no matter how many bonds
| of previous issues you have bought, or
helped to sell to others; it is no time
for Dragging. Get busy and make a
success of the Victory Liberty Loan.
In his description of the doughboy
| Chaplain Ewert declared he got his
name for two reasons. First. because
his secretary is a baker, and secondly
| because he is the flower of the Ameri
can Army, and like all good dough. he
is always on hand when needed. In
his appeal to support the Victory
Loan the Chaplain said
THE man whose heart does not re
spond in gratitude for what the boys
did in France, and who forgets OF
quits in this hour for gratitude. oil
fails to do what he can, is an migrate
and a gutter. We must match il
service the sacrifice of the men who
now lie in their graves in France. We
have reason TO believe that all the
states in the Eighth Federal Reserve
District will measure up to their stand
ard when the Victory Loan is inaugu.
rated. The Victory Loan must meas.
ure up to the devotion of the boys
overseas and there should be no let
down until the last dollar of indebted
ness has been paid and the last boy
over there comes home"

LONDoNERs TURN TO PIANO
How the Noise Of the AntIalrcraft
Guns Is Drowned In the Brit
ish Metropolis.

A man who had to traverse a great
part of London from the outskirts to
the center above ground, during one OF
the recent raids, told me that what
struck him most was the universally
of the piano.
From the time he started until he
reached the city, he says, the sound of
pianos was never out of his ears, and
every suburban house seemed to be
intent on drowning the noise of the
guns with more or less-chiefiy more
cheerful music.
The favorite airs seemed to be those
taken from the revues Of recent years,
and it was tribute, he thought, to
the nerves of the players, most of
whom would be women, that there was
no evidence of faltering about the ex-
ecution. which might be inaccurate but
was always sdashing"

the universally of pianos rather than
of gramophones to the fact that people

Why He Seeks Wilderness.

Missouri has grown too civilized
for e. F. LIE Tourno, known as "Lee,"
for many years a hermit on the
Miami river, so he has sold his farm
there and gone to Arkansas in search
of solitude. For more than 80 years
Lee has been a quaint and ever in
teresting parsonage on the banks Of
the river.
His cabin In the woods Asvazz-- sf-.u;ich
frequented, by picnicking parties
eager to hear his rambling tales told
in broken English and interpreted
with quaint and delightful phil
osophy all his own. The cabin was
as eccentric as Lee himself. In 1t he
housed his cow and his flock of poul-
try. The kitchen stove sufficed both
to cook on and as a chicken roost.
A few years ago Lee became quite
enamoured with clocks and had as
many as IL all running and set to
chime at different hours because he
liked the sounds they made.

Why Shaking the Head Means mo"

Why Shaking the Head Means "No."
The origin of this method of indicat-
ing "No" is found in the result Of the
mothers efforts in the animal kingdom
of trying to feed her young. A moth
err animal would be trying to get her
young to accept the food she brought
them and tried to put in their mouths.
Perhaps, however, the young animal
had had sufficient food or did not
fancy the kind of food offered. The
natural thing to do under the circum-
stances would be to close the mouth
tight and shake the head from side
to side to prevent the mother from
forcing the food into the mouth. Thus
we get the closed lips and the shaking
the head from side to side to mean
NO" In other words, that kind of
a way of saying "No" came from an
effort to say 81 don't want any,

There are several theories why the

city with its sanitation system, Its
health rules, proper heat in the win

and In five or ten minutes to be
brought out in the open or near the
lake, are factors that make longevity
possible. These authorities further
add that the modern machinery,

WHY
Torpedoes Do Not Always
Reach Target

The commander of a Submarine must
lie in wait for his qud9&,y with the
nose Of his boat pointingWn the direc-
ton where he expects the anemy's YES
sci to pass. Then he has no estimate
the speed of the approaching ship and
her distance and to fire the torpedo
at the point where he calculates she
will have arrived when the torpedo has
finished it's run.
A naval officer says: eff any one
wishes to appreciate some of the diff
culties of submarine work let him sit
down under chart of any portion of
the seas-say, the English channel
suspended from the ceiling; let him
punch hole through it, and above
the hole place piece of looking glass
inclined at As degrees
"Let him further imagine his chair
and glass moving sideways as the eff
feet of tide. Let him occasionally fill
the room with steam to represent mist.
Let him finally crumple the chart into
ridges to represent the waves and then
try to carry out the maneuvers that
look so simple when the chart is spread
