Every Taxpayer Is Urged to Make
Full Payments of Amounts Due BY
That Date But Installments VIII Be
Allowed.

That there vii be no general extern
sion Of time beyond March 18th for
the filing of returns and for the pay
ment OF Income and Excess Profits,
taxes due on that date, is the decis on
of Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue. The announcement

report of the conferees on the new
Revenut Bill.
at is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March 18TH says
Commissioner Roper. no other
course is possible. Some months
ago, the Treasury issued certificates
of Indebtedness to an amount approx
mating $7Oo,OoO,OOO maturing March
18th. The first payment of the In;
come and Excess Profits taxes for
1918 was planned fol. ithat date, III
meet THIS huge oDllSatl0n.
"'Fhe American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is anote:lr en-
Urgency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort The Bureau ex
tends its every force toward this end,
and am relying upon the people to
meet this situation intellectually.
"The Internal Revenue Furean'
must carry out the programme pres
eribed in the new law, which requires
all returns for 1918 to be filed on or
before March 18th. 1919, and requires
the first quarterly payment or The,
entire payment to be made on or be-,
fore 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 fin
ancing of the tax at one time would
tend to upset local financial condi-
tons"
THE approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House Of
Representatives brings the new Rev.
emu Bill to the point where it may be
assumed to be law. The Internal
Revenue Bureau has been making
preparations to collect the taxes which
it provides. and is now putting all
of its efforts into aiding the taxpay-
ers to fulfill the obligations imposed.
THE Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thou
sands Of deputies and agents to assist
taxpayers. The officers will be sta
toned at convenient points where
they may be consulted without charge.
Taxpayers should take the initiative
and get in touch with these Revenue
men for any needed advice and assist
ance in preparing returns.
"The forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be
in the hands of Collectors between
February 18th and March 1st"

While the situation has improved
very much from what it was short
time ago there is still an epidemic of
influenza among hogs in certain re.
stricted areas of the county. In a
neighborhood near Santa Fe there
have been a number lost from this
cause and near Bigbyville there have

with the coming of warmer weather
the danger will be practically over.

LIVE IN PRACTICAL SLAVERY
Esthonians Little Better Than Serfs
t. the Germans, Who Own Nine
Teaths of Land.

Esthonians, or Esths, who have re-
pulsed repeated attacks from the Boil
shoviki and recently drove force un-
Ger Trotzky to ignOminious flight, are
described by DIR. Edwin A. Grosvenor
In a National Geographic society bull
letin as follows:
The Esths are Finno-Ugrlan
people, once savage and adventurous,
terrifying the Baltic with their piracy,
constantly attacking and attacked by
the Danes and Swedes. Their final
subsection by the Brothers Of the
Sword and their enforced acceptance
of Christianity crushed their spirit
and rendered them serfs to the Ger
man masters.
The Esths outnumber the Germans
in the old province Of Esthonla 20 to
/ yet nine-tenths of all the land Is
held by Germans.
In the former province of Livonia
the Esths constitute nearly half the
population, while the Germans are
less than one-ffteenth. There the land
IS divided into estates averaging over
ten thousand acres in extent, none
owned by an Esth or Lett but almost
Invariably by German.
The Russian government at times
endeavored by agrarlan laws to ale
vate the condition of the peasant
Such efforts failed against the stolld
resistance Of the great proprletors.

THE MAN WHO FAILS

THE MAN WHO FAILS
The man who fails is the sort of chap,
Who is always looking around for
snap.
Who neglects his work to regard the
CLOCK;
Who never misses a chance to knock
He is grouchy and slow when work be
gins;
When it's time to quit, he jokes and
grins,
He's always as busy as busy can be,
When he thinks the boss is around to
see.
He believes that "pull' is the only
way
BY which he can ever draw bigger
pay;
and he sulks and growls when he sees
his plan
Upset by the "push' of another man.
Hes on the job when he draws his pay;
That done, he soldiers his time away
While the men who tackle their jobs
with vim
Keep pushing and climbing ahead of
him.
For the man who fails has himself
TO blame,
II he wastes his chances aud misses his
aim;
He'd win, if he'd use his hands and
wits;
The man who fails is the man who
quits.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in
their pockets and thousands without
even pocket, are rich. A man born
with a good sound constitution, a good
stomach, a good heart and limbs, a
pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold; tough mus
Giles, than silver and nerves that flash
fire and carry energy to every function,
and it is better than landed estate TO
have the right kind of father and
mother. The man is rich who has a
good disposition, who is naturally kind,
patient, cheerful, forgiving, hopeful,
and who has flavor of fun IN his com
position. The hardest thing to get
along with in this life is mans own
self. A cross, selfish fellow, a despond-
ent and complaining fellow, time and
care burdened man, these are all born
deformed on the inside They do not
limp, but their thoughts sometimes do.

The best capital, in nine cases out Of
ten, young man can start in the world
with, is robust health, sound morals, a
fair intelligence, a will to work his
way honestly bravely, and If it is pos
sible, a trade, whether he follows it
for livelihood or not. He can al.
ways fall back on trade when other
paths are closed The path OF success
in business is invariably the path of
common sense. Notwithstanding all
that is said about "lucky hits, the
best kind of success in every mans
life is not that which comes by acct
dent. The only good time coming"
we are justified in hoping for is that
which we are capable of making for
ourselves.

"Mo!Iy Pitcher.n

Molly Pitcher was the first woman
military officer in America. It is said
she served eight years and was re-
tired as an officer on half pay Her
correct name was Molly Mcclure and
she was born at Carlisle, Pa, on Oc-
tober 10. 1744. Her biographers diff
fer somewhat as to details, but she is
described as a sturdy, red-faced Irish
woman who during the battle of Mon
mouth was engaged in carrying water
to the soldiers. and when her husband,
a cannoneer. was so badly wounded
that he could no longer serve his gun
his wife seized the hammer and took
his place, which she filed with skill
and courage. Molly was presented to
General Washington, who conferred
upon her the commission of a SER
geant. Exactly how she came to be
called Molly Pitcher seems to be in
doubt.
