four million persons and business
concerns are expected to file income
profits tax returns before tomorrow

will aggregate between $500. 900 goo
and $1,000, 900, 900.
This tremendous inflow of money
90 tax collectors offices will be coun-
terbalanced by an outflow of about
$500, 900 to redeem certificates
of Indebtedness issued last Novem-
Der Z, in anticipation of the tax col
lections tomorrow.
BY this means the Treasury plans

funds and to accomplish the enor-
nous transfers without disturbing
business conditions.
a large majority of business con-
Germs and persons with complicated
sources of income will file tentative
estimates. according to reports reach
ing the revenue bureau today.
They will be required to pay one
fourth of the estimated tax and will
have a month and a half in which to
prepare their final returns.
Many tax collectors, finding their
offices swamped today with appli-
cants for special advice or informa-
tion, urged the filing of tentative re-
turns and the working out of accu-
rate reports later. when the reve-
nue. authorities are relieved of the
eleventh-hour rush.
Penalties are provided for failure

SALOONS WILL QUIT
WITH OWN ACCORD

Hopkinsville, KY, March 15-It
will be April fool for those folks with
a thirst who come to Hopkinsville
after the last day of March. The
suitcase brigade will be disbanded
and the auto blockade runners will
quit business. Under an agreement
made last fall by representatives of
all factions concerned the saloons of
Christian county will close their
doors on April /. 1t is said to be the
first time in the history of Kentucky
that a compromise of this sort has
been effected. 1t came about in this
wise: The prohibition forces had cir
culated petitions in every voting pre-
cinct asking for a local option cleo
ton. Several thousand signers had
been obtained and County Judge
Champlin had formally issued a call
for an election to be held on Octo-
Der 4.
The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan had just started and it
looked as if its success might be en-
dangered by the fight between the
vets and drys. Leaders of both
sides got together and discussed the
proposition, and the result was that
the liquor men agreed to go out of
business voluntarily on April l if the
October election was called off and
they were not interferred with until
the date of prohibition by agree
ment. Not only did the Hopkinsville
saloonists assent to the plan, but it
was agreeable to those of Pembroke
and Gracey. The agreement was put
in legal form and signed by the liquor
and prohibition leaders and by the
city officials of the three wet towns
in this county.
There has been a variety of ru-
mors concerning attempts of some Of
the saloon men to continue in bust
ness until July 1, but there is not
likely 10 De an. thOii maui ~ Wv
late the agreement. Stocks in the
saloons are very low and few of them
will have much liquor on hand by the
end of the month.
The majority of the saloon men
have already made arrangements
about going into other lines of bust
ness. More than half of them will
engage in farming.
The Salvation Army has rented the
quarters of one of the largest and
most popular saloons in Hopkinsyilie
and the big electric sign in front of
the building is being converted into
an invitation to people to drink OF
the waters of life"
There are now seventeen saloons
and wholesale houses in this city and
one wholesale beer house. There are
three saloons at Pembroke and two
at Gracey.

TO COUNTY CHAIRMAN
OF SYRIAN RELIEF

March -. 1919--In cable from
Persia on the 18th we are advised
that there is wide spread famine In
that country. Refugees are slowly
starving. They have nothing to eat
except animal corpses. slaughter
house blood and chaff. Unless food
and drugs are imported quickly
cholera will set in and there will be
little hope of saving any lives. Three
hundred and thirty thousand in this
place alone need help.
Devastation, Famine and Pestilence.
Could there be worse situation?
Isn't it up to you and to me and to
all of us to roll up our sleeves and
work without ceasing, to try and re-
lieve this situation?
They are a Christian people in the
Near East-which is anything but
near--and because the good God has
spared us is more reason that we
should hasten aid to those in dis
tress.

 mittee of women have just com pleted a full year of concerted activity in which millions of women united in a crusade unconcerned with policits, religion or race. yet vital to the es- tablishment of a sturdy civilization. It was the conservation of American child power
 In April. 1918. the child welfare de- partment of the womans committee council of national defense, invoked the aid of American women through the highly organized state divisions for a Y ar of intensive campaigning for chll~ conservation. At the request of the committee, the children's bureau of the department of labor outlined a programme covering that period, which was promptly christened "rhe Chil- drens year.
 It started with weighing aRa measur- ing tests for children under years. Babies could not be improved mentally and physically until certain standard statistics were available as a basis for positive action. As fast as state divis- ions supplied the names of state child welfare chairnfen, weighing and meas uring cards were forwarded to them for distribution among subchairmen in counties, cities, precincts, school dis tricts and even in city blocks. The clang of scales and the click of meas uring rods sounded from Hawaii to Maine. Sometimes, by automobile, com mittee memb CTS journeyed far afield seeking the infant population of some obscure settlement. Not infrequently in terested parents took a day off from work on the farm or ranch and brought in their children to be treated at weigh ing and measuring centers. The cards of 1,619,2S3 embryo citizens have all ready been received at Chicago, where the tabulation is being done, and the record is not final even yet.
 These tests were the prologue to fur ther action. When the test shows a child to be strikingly below the aver age in weight for his height or small for his age; it indicates that expert advice about diet and daily care is needed When parent is aroused to the fact that the child needs special attention, this parent fenerally be- comes interested in the community conditions affecting the welfare of the child. The services of public health nurses, or the advice of childrens health center are sought; the quantity

SOUTHERN CLUB
 CONFEDERATE BALL

Until the advent of the war, it had been the custom of the William L. Yancey chapter, U. D. C., to give Confederate ball annually. For two years past the U. D. c. chapter, in difference to war conditions, and that they might individ- ually help in war work, decided to fore
 go this annual custom towards raising funds for their many charities-help for dependent Confederate soldiers, education of girls and boys of Confederate lineage and memorial work, such as markers throughout the state for places of histor- ieal value-are a part of the work of this chapter and as they have not asked for patronage for so long, their treasury is depleted entirely. So for the first time in two years the Confederate ball will be
