Another Whirl at the Income Tax

of shape that he'd have to get his
hats made in a kite factory.
The president is over in Europe
fixing it so that the lion and the
lamb will lie together. When Woody
does that it will be unanimous, be-
cause everybody over here is lying
like Baron Muenchausens twin
brother Joe, who was the first bird
to make out an income blank. The
baron was the bird. who swore that
the muskeeters in Fremont, Neb.,
were so big that they didn't bite you.
They kicked you. Maybe he was
right at that.
His brother Joe could lie a couple
himself. But he hasn't a thing on
Omahans trying to do Houdini
out of the income mans net.
Truth is out of fashion, like roller
towels. ...
The cuckoos with the billion-dollar
incomes have truth all bent up into
a cork screw. We piped one dol
lar-grabber trying to borrow a patch
for his pants so the income gent
would pass him up. Other birds
from Street Forty-one are driving
UP to the bread line in Rolls-Royses
and another sap has bought a pair
of smoked glasses and six lead PEN
ellis. This lob owns million-dollar
yacht. When the income collectors
amble up the gangplank to scoop UP
a hatful of smackers, he'll sell 'em
a lead pencil instead. Science al
ways trims brute strength.
Even the birds who haven't
enough darb 10 pay the income tax
on a Mexican hairless poodle's bar
Der bill are running around in
crooked circles like little fibbing
Japanese mice. The cuckoo who
wouldn't get divorce from his wife
during the war because she was the
only claim to exemption that he had,
is hanging on to her this year be-
cause she is 1000 berries exemption
on the income tax.
AT that rate, the government
would owe King Solomon money.
The kink had 700 sweeties. But in
those days they called wives wives.
Now they call 'em exemptions.
Well, all's fair in war and income
taxes. But if they took Bertillon
on the birds who were
bilking the income tax there would
be more fngerprints than footprints
on the sands of time.
We don't claim that folks are trim
ming the government intentionally.
By the time gent has his blank half
filled out it is so scrambled UP that
he could take it down to the Chink
laundry and get bundle on it.
Nobody seems to know what it's
all about. If we're paying for the
war, we're the first birds who won
a fight that didn't cop the purse
Writing to the main Office for advice
on the nut questions in the blank
IS like writing to Santa Claus. Writ
ing to Santa is no crime. But inclos-
ing a 2-cent stamp for an answer is.
And it's no use asking your
neighbor or your business partner
for inside dope on the question.
Just like leaning on a rubber
crutch.

Lincoln, March l4.-(Special
Telegram. Omaha Central High
school was eliminated in the semi
finals OF Class A, division in the Ne
braska state high school basket ball
tournament here tonight by the vet
aran Shelton quintet. Shelton won a
:iercely fought game, 7 to 5.
Omaha will not be without rep

divisions, however, as Omaha COM
merce High school scored decisive
triumph over University Place, 70 to
l3, in a large measure due to the
splendid playing of Maloney.
The impressive showing of the
Omaha Commerce lads has made
them the favorite for Class A hon
ors although Shelton may spring
surprise and must be regarded as
dangerous opponent. The game
will be played tomorrow night at
he city auditorium
The Omaha-Shelfon game was
notable for the absence OF field
goals. Burnham threw Omaha's
only field goal within few minutes
after the initial whistle. Thereafter
the Central quintet could not To-
cate the basket, although they shot
all around it. Shelton managed to
Flip two field goals. Omaha led at
the opening Of the second half, 4
to 3. With the count knotted, 5

final whistle, Mill decided the game
IN Skeletons favor with a beautiful
goal from the field.
The Omaha Commerce-U University
Place game was a wonderful battle,
with Maloney giving as dazzling an
exhibition as has been seen on Ne
braska field in many years. The
floor work and passing Of the Com
meree five was wonderful. Andrews
and Alden played we'll for Univer-

eree's verdict at the end of a two.

was at fault in not letting it be
known there was a time limit on

not the promoter of the match al
all, but that a man named Beall was
the fellow behind the show.
The former Peerless Joe Stecher
announced to Jack Lewis the other
day that he now realized he was
foolish to take on so many big
matches in quick succession and that
he knows now that he could not be
in proper condition for such
matches, travelling around on such
short notice. Joe intends to so
home to Dodge and rest for a
month without any mat work at all
and then start another campaign
and a stiff course of training. He
says he is willing to meet John Pc

manded. That's the kind of talk
we like to hear from Stecher. Let
him have his months rest and then,

Stecher-Pesek finish match would
pack the Auditorium to the rafters
and the winner would be conceded
to be one of the greatest wrestlers
in the world. Only ZbysZko and

way for a clear claim to the heavy

Returning to Omaha after receiv-
ing his discharge from the Great
Lakes Naval training school in
Chicago, Charlie Stevenson has is
sued challenge to meet Tom Ray
in a finish match. Stevenson used
to be a pupil under Tom, but he
thinks he has learned enough in his
workouts with Joe Stecher at the
Great Lakes school to be able to pin
his old mentor. Charlie says he
only weighs about 154 pounds, but
he still will take on middleweight
wrestlers if he can't get a match
with Ray. While in the Chicago
naval school, Stevenson won the
middleweight championship of the
station.

Rapids, la. Reynolds is something
of wonder in the mat game him
self and though Breedlove made
him hustle, Jack won the first fall
in an hour and FIVE minutes and the
second in IL minutes and five sec
onds.
The above had no more than been
written when Breedlove called up
and announced that he had just re-
turned from Cedar Rapids and told
his story of the match. He said he
had agreed to wrestle on the 18th,
but on the evening of the 18th, he
received a wire that the bout had
been set ahead one day. He jump
ed train after the Swindell fracas
and took Reynolds on the following
night. Verne said he had the weller
title holder practically beaten several
times and lost the match only after
being knocked out by Reynolds fall
ing on him, backwards. He left a
forfeit of 500 with the Cedar Rap
ids promoter for another match
within six weeks.
