REVENUE STAMP
OFFICE CLOSES
BUT TAX STAYS
Collector Remains With Division
Office Under Reorganization
OF the State.

1t became definitely known to-
day that the income tax Office will
be retained in Rock Island as a
division Office, but the internal
revenue stamp ofice is not to be
opened.
Rumors to this effect were pub
lished in The Argus a week ago
With the return of T. J. Cavanaugh
from Chicago, where he received
instructions at the district Office,
it was learned that he will reopen
the division Office Wednesday.
Edgar Morse of Peoria, deputy
internal revenue collector, has
been assigned to the Moline sub
division once to receive income
tax reports and to receive revenues
from miscellaneous sources. His
ONCE will be in the municipal
building.
,IAir. Morse was expected in Mo-
Zine this afternoon to inaugurate
the Rock Island Office upon ware
ious assignments.
Mr.. Cavanaugh has been re-
Make Reports at Home.
In connection with these an
nouncements it is urged that per-
sons making reports shall file such
reports in the Rock Island and
Moline offices, instead OF sending
them to Peoria. which has been
the custom OF many persons and
corporations.
1t is explained that the reports
will be sent Immediately TO Chi
cago, Peoria no longer having the
main Office of the district, and that
they are likely ultimately to be re-
turned to the Rock Island or Mo-
line Offices, thus completing cir
Gle that is unnecessary.
.The purpose is to have the re-
polSs inspected in the local Offices
before they go to the district head
quarters.
Seek Stamp Office.
Rock Island is seeking a reopen
ing OF the stamp Office. which re-
Gently was closed. and while there
is no certainty of such action, en-
couragement has been received on
the proposal.
Until the office is reopened per-
sens desiring internal revenue
stamps are advised to obtain them
from the Peoria Office, the belief
being that quicker action may re-
suit. that Office not being burdened
so heavily since the greater part
Of its business has been transfer
red to Chicago.
Since the reorganization John H.
Hansen, who was a field deputy
collector. with headquarters in
Rock Island, has discontinued his
service.

INCREASING thefood
L supply of the world
is the most vital prob
lem which man must
solve. The burden of
this solution rests heav-
lily upon the shoulders of
the farmers of America.
The service rendered by the
Standard Oil Company Qndi-
ana in producing fuel and
lubricants for the economical
and efficient operation of farm
machinery has made it
possible for the farmer to
cultivate a greater acreage,
produce larger crops, and
get them to market at least
expense.
By maintaining its comprehensive
system of distribution, the Standard
Oil Company 1ndiana) makes it
possible for the farmer to get his
requirements of petroleum products
easily, regularly and quickly. ees..-
By virtue of this complete service
on the part of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) he may, literally,
make hay while the sun shines"
He is independent of the health or
endurance of horses. He can plow,
cultivate or harvest when these
tasks should be done. He can have
a complete cycle of activity, operat-
ing even by shifts, if necessary. He
can plan his operations on definite
schedule to produce a steady, con-
slant supply of farm products for
you and your family. a6ss,s ssassas,
-sssJs'IA. ;ssa44.ajssss ~ !;
Thus is illustrated how you benefit
by the service rendered by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) to
the farmer. These are benefits
accruing to the world at large
which accentuate the usefulness of
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
as a public servant, and emphasize
how completely it discharges its
obligation as such.

WEEKS SHARPLY
!. SCORES ERRORS
OF WAR BUREAU
Resents Retirement of Major
General McCain; Points Out
i, Service of Red Cross
By Associated Press

:. Washington, Jan. 2.-The War
Department was sharply criticised
in the Senate to-day by Senator
Weeks. of Massachusetts,, Repub-
Ican. for delays and errors in COM
piling casualties among he expedi-
tionary forces and for failure to CO.
operate with the Red Cross in for
'warding letters from wounded SOL
diers relatives in this country.
Criticism was directed especially
at the office of the Adjutant General
OF the Army. Senator Weeks saying
that Major General Mccain. the ad-
1utant general who retired last sum-
mer to command a division and who
was succeeded by Major General
Harris. should have been retained.
Senator Weeks declared the War
Departments information as to cas-
ualties often had been wrong.
During the week ended Deem
ber a." he stated. 'the Red Cross
received an average of twenty letters
q day from parents who had been
advised by the War Department that
their sons had been killed on spe-
cthc date. In every one of these
cases the parents wrote hat hey had
received communications from their
boys subsequent to the date given ny
the War Department. II seems al
most miracu Gus that so many errors
could have occurred in cases OF this
kind"
