There were other cooss that time who lacked VISION:
they chose the side of the CROWN their eternal dshonor
and from generation generation they will be known as
tories.
Another great question of government is up for settle

the right? And seeing the right, will you stand for the
right? The League of Nations American project

last few years As private citizen, he has added much to
his reputation courageous, far seeing statesman
1t will be remembered that when he took office as
PRESIDENT in 1919, it with the hearty good Will OF the
American people, But his administration inherited many
denominations. 1t inherited invisible government lnher
tied the domination of Senator Adrch and unfortunately
President Taft deferred Senator Aldch and publicly
declared that he regarded him of the abes statesmen
in either house of the congress- This counter to the
temper of the American people, who above all things want
their chief be their responsible leader in his
right But, of office, Mr. Taft proved to be the best of
losers He found himself He stands squarey his
feet and speaks his mind feaessly questions He
has the same judicial mind that his friends admired much
while he in Office but he does not hesitate to speak out
that mind in good hard Words champoning what he thinks
is best the welfare One Of the first support
the project of league of nations, and chosen president Of
the national organization enforce peace he refuses to
be turned aside by parsansp from the support OF

THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

The interest in basketball reached the
highest pitch on Friday night when the
double header with Shullsburg and
Monroe was played. Every effort was
made to accommodate large number,
but it was early seen that not half OF
the people who desired to witness the
games could gain admission. The sale
of tickets had been limited to the mum,
Der of people who could comfortably
witness the game; but when the Mon
roe special arrived with 30 or Is more
people than provision had been made
for the small gym was uncomfortably
crowded.
The preliminary game between Shul1s-
burg and the second team was close
and interesting contest although it was
plainly evident that Shullsburg was
outclassed and doomed to defeat. The
first half ended with score Of IA to I,
and in the second half Mineral Point
scored II points to Shullsburg's 3. The
final score was 81 to 10. Hunt played
star game, making IA points out of
the 81 Walkers work at guard was a
big factor in the game.
In the big game it was early evident
that the undefeated Monroe team was a
fast bunch but that the lighter Mineral
Point team would make them earn
every point made. The first half was
close and hard fought, Monroe leading
by one basket at the end Of the half,
During the second half in streak of
fast playing Monroe shot three baskets
in quick succession which gave her a
lead. This she was able to retain till
the end Of the game. The final score
was Mineral Point 18, Monroe 81. Prof.
Stoneman of the Platteville Normal re-
fereed the game and gave excellent
satisfaction.
Mr. Rood left Sunday noon for Chica-
go, where he will attend national
convention for superintendents. He
will return this week end.
There will be another big double
header Friday night Of this week. Our
second team meets Gratiot and our first
team meets Dodgeville. The teams are
evenly matched and two fast games are
assured.
Private Roman Hesly, who has just
returned from overseas service, gave
the high school and the grades a very
interesting and instructive talk Friday.
Mr. Paynter has returned, after an
absence of several days due to illness.
During his absence Sampson acted as
| janitor.
| A Senior party was held at the High
School uIday evening. Supper was
served at $50, after which there was
dancing until II 100 o'clock. The party
was chaperoned by Mesdames Parmley,
Dunwiddie, Prisk and Coady and Messrs
Prisk and Coady.
After the very interesting games of
basket ball played in the Gymnasium
last Friday evening", the visiting teach
ers were very pleasantly entertained
by the Mineral Point teachers with a
supper at Opie's Cafe.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax payments this year are
due earlier than ever before. The first
payment date is March 18th, stimuli
taneous with the final due date of the
return required by the new Revenue
Law.
''File and Pay by March 18TH is the
new slogan of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, Collector Williams is prepar
ing to handle the food of income tax
payments that will reach him between
now and the close of business on Satur-
day, March 18th.
,"Early payment of Income Taxes is
of the utmost Importance in meeting
the Treasurys debts brought about by
the war;" explains Collector Williams.
1.-The new law names March 18th as the
first payment date because there are
large obligations outstanding in the
form of certificates of Indebtedness that
must be met on that date.
The earlier payment this year should
cause no hardship to taxpayers, who,
generally speaking, have anticipated the
enactment of the new law and have set
aside reserve from 1918 income to
meet the government tax.
"What is needed now is another
practical display of that great spirit of
cooperation which has carried over the
top every big governmental objective
that had to do with the with the win
ming of the war. The persons and cor
porations who are called upon by the
new law to pay Income and War Ex-
cess Profits taxes on 1918 income have a
great, vital duty to perform. That it
will be done in the thorough American
way is foregone conclusion.
Every taxpayer who can possibly do
so is urged to pay his entire tax when
filling his return, on or before March
18th. The installment method, by
which one quarter of the amount may
be paid at that time, followed by quar-
terly payments on June 10Th, Sept. 10Th
and Dec. 18th, is intended for taxpay
ers whose financing of the tax at one
time would tend to upset local financial
conditions.
Don't wait until the final date, Mar
18th, for filling your return or paying
your tax. Let US eliminate the lasl
minute rush. so far as possible. By
evenly distributing the lead between
now and March 10TH, every taxpayer
will have a chance to get any needed
advice and aid in determining his liza
hility and preparing his return. The
! Internal Revenue Bureau has placed its
entire energies into meeting the needs
of taxpayers in this respect. Also, by
distributing the lead, the government
machinery will be better able to stan(
the strain that this great effort entails.
Cooperating is the spirit of the time
1t is vital to the Income Tax. Let us
all get together and establish another
record for Americanism."
