There will be no general extension o.

that date, is the decision Of Daniel C

Eue. The announcement was made Mon

following the approval by the Senate
and House Of the report of the confer
ees on the new Revenue Bill.

The first payment Of the Income and

obligation.
<'The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great te
be met and solved by corporation. This
present situation is another emergency
which can be overcome by cooperative
effort. The Bureau extends its every
force toward this end, and I am rely
ing upon the people to meet the situa
tion whole-hearted1y.
ttThe Internal Revenue Bureau must
carry out the program prescribed in the
new law, which. requires all returns fol-
1913 to be fled on or before March
18th, 1919, and requires the first quart.
erly payment or the entire payment to
be made on or before that date.
"Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
18th. The quarterly payment method is
intended for taxpayers whose financing
of the tax at one tinse would tend to
upset financial conditions. .- .
"The approval Of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and Honse OF

WON FROM BElhIDu
EXTRA FIVE MINUTES OF PLAY
NBeEsSARY TO DECIDE GAME
SCORE 10 to II.

y Another, and one of the most import
ant victories thus far this season, was
added to the string Of victories OF the
local basket ball team Thursday night,
when the fast Bemidji team was defeat
ed at Bemidji by score Of 70 to II.
The local team is the first team the
BemidI FIVE have bowed to this season
and they did so at no small amount OF
worry and hard work on the, part Of
Little Falls.
The game from start to finish was the
fastest and hardest fought game the
locals have contested in this season.
Some difficulty was experienced during
the first half, due to the sipperiness OF
the focr. The Bemidji team, knowing
the rampant acts Of Sprandel, in pre-
vious games, held this youngster to onay
ono basket. As it was useless to feed
to Spfandel, Wands, his running mate
bore the brunt Of the game, he making
five field baskets and three free throws
or l3 points for the locals.
The locals, although unaccustomed to
the floor, were in the lead at the end of
the first half. Score 6 to 5.
In tho second half they came back
with renewed energy and being used to
the geographical" conditions of the
gym increased their lead over their oP-
ponents' to points, which they held
until the last two minutes Of play when
Bemidji netted one field basket and one
free throw, making the score IA to IA.
An extra five minutes of play was al
lowed in which to play of the tie.
Wands made field basket which was
followed by free throw, shot by him
self. The score then was II to II. His
efforts were met in the next minute by
BemidI and the score was again tied.
At almost the exact second the final
shot was fired, marking the end Of the
Ave-minute period, Wands by long
shot from the center Of the floor netted
a field goal, making the score 10 to II
and saving the game.
The Bemidji team treated the local
boys in fine shape and it is the opinion
Of each Of the local players, who made
the trip, and Coach Hall that the Benz
idu nigh bunch are the. cleanest and
most sportsmanlike bunch Of players
they have run against this season.
