SANTA F TO HIRE
 SERVICE MEN FIRST

A new policy of the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe Railway company will be to give special consideratin to ex-service men in the employment of new workers, according to an an nouncementl by w. B. Storey. presi- dent.
 Further" Mir. Storey says, 'if 1t be- comes necessary to reduce forces, it would seem desirable. other things be- ing equal. to give the ex-service men preference, and in this way give prac- tical expression to our appreciation of what these men have done for us.''
 Another Santa Fe policy, which, al- though not new. has been emphasized since the return of the railroads to government control, is to promote from tho ranks. The Santa Fe is able to find in it's own organization men for nearly any position that may be open, and for the exceptions there must be control ing reason which will have careful scrutiny.

CoIumhia

When looking for a husband, adver- tise in the newspapers. That is what Marjory Thorncroft, played by Elaine Hammerstein, did in "The Point of View" which comes to Mauk's Colum- bia theater today and tonight.
 Of course, Marjory didn't advertise just that way: Wanted, a nice, good hearted, handsome, rich husband" The plot of the story demanded that she should advertise for a lodger for the spare room of the apartment occupied by the impoverished but proud Thorn crofts. The advertisement called for just one lodger, any size. shape or de- gree of facial presentableness. But why shouldn't Fate be kind to one so sweet and good as the Marjory DOT trayed by Elaine Hammerstein?
 The interesting part of it was that Marjory didn't recognize in David Law renee the smiling gift of Fate. She saw him as a rough, uncouth westerner with blunt manners and none of the polished suavity so evident in the young men of her own acquaintance. Beneath the crude exterior, however was a keen mind and a heart of gold It took one year of married life before Marjory Thorncroft recognized this and thereby hangs the crux of the story.

INCOME TAX MUST
 BE PAID BY 15TH

Dec. 15 is the last day for the pay ment of the fourth instalment of the income and excess profits taxes due this year. To avoid penalty, the tax must be in the offices of collectors of internal revenue or branch offices by midnight of that date.
 Inquiries reaching the commissioner of internal revenue indicate a belief that taxpayers have ten days grace on this instalment Such a provision was contained in the 1917 revenue act, but was removed by the revenue act of 1918.
 Payment of the fourth instalment may be made in cash or by money or der of check. The bureau of internal revenue urges that whenever possible payment be made by check or I1oney oroer. This method helps the tax payer by saving him a trip to the col lector's office and avoids congestion at the cashiers window. Check or money order should be made payable 1 to Collector of Internal Revenue"
 Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but failure to receive a bill does not re- 1 lleve the taxpayer of his obligation tC | pay on time.

 Ann Cornwall in The Path She Chose" plays a two days engagement at the Hip starting today. It is a drama of womans life bringing to the story a girl who dared attempt to rise above the environment, until she became somebody in the world" The opening chapters find the central characters in a cheap house in the questionable tenement section of a big city. The girl Virginia (Ann Corn wal) loathes her surroundings, and aspires to a greater plane of usefulness than being the inmate of such home" as her folks have furnished her. It is her own brothers attempt to sell her into a life of shame that proves the girls impetus to break the home ties, and as one follows her on the up- ward climb one cannot but admit that Ann Cornwall is a star of charming | personality, decided ability and much emotional powers.
