EVIDENCE THAT CONvINCES
A Twice.TOld Tale That VIII Carry
Conviction to Ledger Readers.

Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Burns
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney
Pills;
She then told of benefit she had re-
ceived.
With mistaken confidence,
She confirms her statement
Tells how passing years have
strengthened her faith in Doan's.
There's no better test than the test
of time.
Can any Maysville reader ask for
more convicing evidence?
Mrs. John Burns, West Second
Street, says: Il was subject to
severe spells of backache and other
kidney trouble. They would come on
every three or six months and there
were times when / was confined to bed
and rendered helpless. l used Doan's
Kidney Pills and the quick and

Revenue officers will visit = every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in making out their returns.
The date of their arrival and the To-
cation of their offices may me ascer-
tanned by inquiring at the offices of
collectors or internal revenue, post
offices and banks. Failure to see these
officers, however, does not relieve the
taxpayers of his obligation to file his
return and pay his tax within the time
specified by law. In this case taxpay-
ers must seek the Government, not the
Government the taxpayer.

community BUILDINGS
As SOLDIER MEMORIALS
Raise Funds In Form Of Liberty Bonds
For Fifth Loan, Says Bureau Of
EducatiOn-Many COmmuni-
ties Showing Preference
For This Type Of
Memorial.

Soldiers memorial in the form Of
community buildings, dedicated to
civic and social uses, and, wherever
possible, built with bonds at the fifth
liberty loan, are urged by the Bureau
of Education, Department of the In
terror, in a circular sent to every
school community in the United
States.
A number of communities have al
ready concluded that building, in
constant use as reminder Of the sac
rifice made by the soldiers and sailors
of the Great War, is more appropriate
and enduring than the conventional
graveyard monument. There is a
growing conviction" says DR.. Henry
E. Jackson, author of the Bureaus cir
cular, that the conventional stone
shaft, placed in a graveyard among
the dead, is not fitting memorial to
those who died for freedom. The sug-
gestion, made both in France and
America, that these memorials take
the form Of community buildings, ded-
icated to civic and social uses, is OBJ
viously wise and ought to meet uni
versal approval. On the walls of such
a building should hang bronze tab
let containing the names Teach COM
munity's martyrs to liberty.
The Roll Of Honor
This type of memorial will guar
antee that no boy who gave his life
for Justice and freedom will be forgot
ten. The number of American lives
lost in this war is very small in COM
parison to those lost in the Civil War.
If community lost only three or four,
it might not think it worth while to
build a monument. But community
building is needed entirely apart from
its memorial purpose. The chief ad-
vantage of this type of memorial,
however, Is not that 1t Is economical,
but that it keeps green an inspiring
memory; and it seeks to put into OPP
GRAFTON, through its civic and social
activities, the ideals for which our
boys fought in France.
Liberty Bonds For Buildings
Funds for this purpose could be
raised more easily, if they were raised
in the form of Liberty Bonds during
the fifth loan, which is to come in the
spring. The bonds can be used as
money when the time comes to build
Thus a community can serve itself
while, at the same time, it Is render
ing a national service. By this meth
cd more money for the Government
could be raised than by any other. Not
only would many individuals gladly
contribute an extra bond or two for
the benefit of their local community
but many who are unable to do this
could pool theid small gifts and con-
tribute to bond. Likewise, enter

then an independent

opportunity, then an Independent
building ought to be erected. Insti-
buttons are made or the people, not the
people for institutions. Let us use
whatever means are available for our
purpose. But there is no need for any
community to submit to backward
looking boar dof school directors. The
schools belong to the people and it is
their privilege to compel school offic-
ials to be their public servants and
execute their will"
In his foreword to the Bureaus cir
cular Commissioner Claxton states
that the Bureau of Education will
gladly join with other agencies in
stimulating the erection of memorials
of this kind to American Soldiers and
sailors.

INCOME TAX BILL
PROVIDES SOME VERY
HEAVY PENALTIES
Returns Must BE Filed On Or Before
March 15-InfOrmatiOn For Those
Preparing Income Tax
Reports.

Washington, February 2O-Work on
the collection of $6,0O0,OOO,OOO has
been begun by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. This is the estimated yield
of the new revenue bill. The income
tax provisions of the act reach the
pocketbook of every single person in
the United States whose net income
for 1918 was $1,000, or more, and OF
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000, or more. Persons
whose net income equalled or exceed
ed these amounts, according to their
marital status, must file return OF
income with the collector of internal
revenue for the district in which they
live on or before March Is.
Here is what will happen to them II
they don't; for failure to file return
on time, a fine of not more than 81
600 and an additional assessment OF
rs per cent. of the amount OF the tax
due.
For "willfully refusing to make a
return on time, fine not exceeding
$4,000, or not exceeding one years
Imprisonment, or both.
For making a false or fraudulent re-
turn, a fine of not more than $lO,OO0
or Imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both, together with an
additional assessment Of SO per cent
of the amount of tax evaded.
For failure to pay the tax on time, a
fine of not more than $1,000 and an
additional assessment of 5 per cent
of the amount of tax unpaid, plus
per cent. interest for each full month
during which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $4,000
personal exemption, taxpayers are
allowed an exemption of 5000 for each
person dependent upon them for CHIEF
support if such person is under eight
cen years of age or incapable of self
support. Under the 1917 act, this ex
emption was allowed only for each de-
pendent child. The head of fam
ily-one who supports one or more
persons closely connected with hin
by blood relationship, relationship b!
marriage, or by adoption--is entitled
to all exemptions allowed a married
person.
The normal rate of tax under thu
mex act is per cent. of the first "a,
900 of net income above the exemp
lions, and IL per cent. of the net in
come in excess of $4,000. Incomes il
excess of $4,000 are subject also to
surtax ranging from / per cent. of tn
amount of the net income between 5,
900 and $4,000 to So per cent. OF tn
net income above $1,000000.
Payment of the tax may be made il

their country. No doubt, if it were
not for the fact Republican Con-
gress will soon be with us, someone
would shoulder the responsibility of
obtaining the necessary appropriation
to build White House annex for the
storing of these tons of Old World
gifts. Well, there are other ways to
solve the high cost of living besides
resigning and accepting salaries from
moving picture companies. Auction
sales are still more than popular in
this country.

UNCLE SAM-FINISHER

The United States had nothing
whatever to do with the beginning Of
the world war
Uncle Sam wasn't at all interested
in German ambitions.
Had no signs whatever upon the
Balkan future.
Regarded Alsace-Lorraine as a
closed issue.
And wasn't interested particularly
in the rivalries between Germany
England and France.
He was simply attending to his own
business and saving wood CONNER
cially.
But
When Germany began treading up
on his toes.
Sinking his merchant vessels and
making war upon innocent women
and children.
Holding him up to the scorn of the
world by outraging all the interna
tional conventions.
Then Uncle Sam took hand witt
Characteristic American aggressive
ness.
And NOW! How he was in at the
finish!
All the world appreciates that
Takes off its hat to America.
And now that it is reduced to
mere matter of dollars and cents
some $4,000, 100000 to be exact, need
ed to finish up the job, it is up tt
us Americans, one and all, individual
ly and collectively, to finish right.
As Uncle Sam did and does ant
MUST.
With the whole world paying oul
soldiers and sailors homage; looking
to America as the apostle of liberty
accepting American ideals as final
we dare not fail in our individual
duty.
We must make good with our dol
lars as Uncle Sam made good with hi
army.
We must put the Victory-Libert,
loan over the top BIG.
We must be true to ourselves.

tainments and social activities can be
utilized to raise money for the same
purpose. Opportunity should be given
for as many as possible to have a part
in the enterprise. For men to con-
tribute outright a few liberty bonds
to a local community cause, will help
to dspel the delusion that a man is

vestment which offers the best secur-
