MAKING INCOME TAX REPORTS.

It is with interest that it is noted that the revenue collector for this district has again decided to send representatives into the different cit ies and towns for the purpose of ad- vising those who must pay income taxes relative to the filling out of their blanks. There are those who have gone through the experience in past years who should consider them selves as fully posted unless they are confronted with new conditions aris- ing since the last report. but there are doubtless new payers of this tax, as well as many others who are not familiar with such work. even in it's simplest detail, who will require the aid of those who can be rated through their experience and knowl- edge of the law as experts in such matters.
 It is important in connection with the making out of the income tax re- ports that it should not be delayed until the last day. The thing to do is to make an early start just as soon as possible after the instructors get here. Carry your problems to them, get their advice or let them as- sist in the figuring, but 1t is quite important that those to be helped should not appear all at one time SC that there would be waiting list while at other hours of the day the deputies would be waiting around with nothing to do.
 Heretofore there has been but one instructor named here and his work especially during the evening hours was increased as the last day was approached. It can therefore be ap- preciated that the appointment of two this year will do much to relieve ths rush, but even with two there still remains the fact that better at- tention is bound to be given to those who come early and keep from creat- ing crowd. It is, bound to be more satisfactory to all concerned to avoid the confusion that always attend the eleventh hour efforts

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Avoid What The Reds Applaud.

AHoio what ne heuS APPiauos
 MT. Editor: In your journal under date of the 11th inst. Albert Board man seeks to answer a previous com munication over the signature of the undersigned. MT. Boardman attempts to bolster up his case by quoting part of a speech made by Frank L. Cobb, editor of the New York World. MT. Cobb's is just the sort of talk that suits the enthusiastic radical down to the ground. The very meagre re- gard which we have felt up toa the present for the tone of Editor Cobb's lecture on the transcription" of the press for war purposes by the gov ernment, is not bit enhanced when. we find this lecture which he has been giving before more or less radi- cal audiences eagerly reduced to cold type and circulated by the New Re public For five years there has been no free play of public opinion in the world" blandly announces Editor Cobb. curiously failing to give rec ognition to the fact that the whole outcry of the moment is that the fine play of public opinion is altogether too fine for a red-blooded Americans peace of mindi
 Editor Cobb is absolutely sincere in what he says. There is no doubt whatever of his propriety of inten- ton. But it remains a very signih- cant fact that his words find their chief favor in the sight of the New Republic, - and all similar species. "Government suppressed the truth; government distorted the truth; gov ernment lied glibly and magnificent ly.'' pursues MT. Cobb. That may be even so-when suppressing the truth, distorting the truth and lying gllbly was absolutely necessary; but The New Republic rolls these words of de- nunciatfon as a sweet morsel under thei tongue, for one such loves to hear how, in support of the most wicked war in human history. the "government" did all sorts of nasty and arbitrary things. Hence the great applause comes chiefly from the radical gallery-despite the New York editors earnest effort to prove that he is mot playing to that gallery at all.
 What I have said is not plea for the new radicalism, for to me most of this new radicalism is the very negation of political and economic sanity. What I am pleading for is the restoration of the traditions of the republic, for the restoration of the proved safeguards of human lib- erty, for the restoration of the free

If these appre'V ed sleeves were only for inc young and fair, all would be well: but even Stately dowagers must. to he in Iashlon have. their sleeves well above the ef0oW. And in such cases, even so small a thing as a bracelet helps free one rom the consciousness of harsJ, elbows that have lost the soft cIarrn or youth.

 God forbid that our supreme achievement in this war should be the Prussianizing of ourselves!"
 Editor Cobb, Albert Boardman ct als need entertain no fear. There is infinitely less danger of Americas s being Prussianized than there is of it's being Russianized. The difference is a strongly marked one-that be- tween having an absolute master, and acknowledging no master at all. The latter delusive doctrine of the pro- letarian is being preached-and Brother Cobb unwittingly helps it along by disseminating ideas that the government unduly conscripts it's newspapers, or silences free debate. Of that species of talk we hear too much from the downright reds, with out adding to their number men like MT. Cobb, who must hasten to assure us that they are not reds at all What

SCOTCH PLAIps IN TIES.

Reports emanating from manufac- turers of mems neckwear tell of a good duplicate business in the novel, ties in Scotch plaid scarfs that were recently introduced by the retail trade. All of the various Scottish clans are represented in the plaids used in the ties in question, many of which lend quite a garish air to the wearer's appearance. They are of- fered in both large and small pat terms, and in regulation and novelty weaves. Among the latter is a pe- culiar kind of spun" fabric that has has charm all it's own.

POLISHING FAUCETS.

For cleaning brass faucets, lemon and salt have been widely recom- mended. A bright polish does result. But unless the acid is followed by a rub with sweet oil, vedigris forms in all the holdings. Better than acids is rotten stone and oil, if the brass is very dark; or any one of several brass polishes: or chemically treat ed brass polishing cloth. Brass clean cd with ammonia tarnishes again much more quickly than if polished by friction.

CARING FOR CUT GLASS.

Cut glass requires great care. Ex- tremes of temperature will set deeply cut pieces to cracking and cause breakage. It's always well to wash cut glass in warm water and rinse in water nearly the same temperature. Soap suds brings out the sparkle and colors in the glass. Be sure that the articles to be washed are reason ably near the temperature of the wa ter. To plunge a cold water glass into even moderately hot water will prove disastrous. Pieces not in con- stant use are better if wiped from the sudsy water without rinsing., as the luster of the glass is somewhat dulled by clear water. A soft brush is ex- cellent for washing, as it gets down into the deeply cut pattern as . cloth cannot,

RECIPES.

Oyster Soup: An excellent cream soup of oysters is made by heating one quart of oysters in their liquor, with enough cold water added to make a quart of broth. When the boiling point is reached rub the oystefs through sieve until fine, pour the liquor over the pulp and set aside where it willkeep warm. Blen dtwo ounces of butter with two of flour and stir until it bubbles briskly. Add one quart of hot milk gradually and when smooth add the oysters and the liquor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
 Vegetable Soup: One recipe for veg etable soup without meat stock is this: Boil three quarts of water and add to it cupfuI of chopped onions and the same amount of minced turnip and minced carrot, four cups of shred ded cabbage, a chopped leek and two tablespoons each of minced celery aud minced green pepper. Boil rapidly for twelve minutes and then simmer gent ly for an hour. Then add two toma- toes or two cups of canned tomatoes and two cups of raw potato sliced. Cook for another hour and then add two tablespoons of butter, two or three tablespoons of salt and some pepper. Do not put the cover closely over this soup at any time during the cooking.

ALAS! II VAS ONLY
 THE STREET CLEANERS

A large number of Phoenix fire goers, folk who make it a habit to attend every conflasration within the confines of the township. were intensely dis appointed the other night by a false alarm which had all the earmarks of a genuine bit of action.
 The alarm was turned in from First and Washington streets, where a crowd quickly gathered as soon as the fire engines and equipment arrived. No sign Of smoke or fire, no screams of anguish from pet poodIes perishing in the flames, were in evidence to make the affair a success, but from dark nook off stage a number of men came run a fire hose. One end of this hose was brought into contact with a fire plug and connected herewith. Those hose was strung along the street, twisted and scattered so that the nozzle end could not be seen, therefore without smoke or flames or screams of anguish, it was still impossible for bystanders to locate the missing fire. Until the nozzle of the hose appeared it would be an impos- slbility to find the fire, so the crowd began to search for the provoking nozzle
 rAIdlIy, aIler minutes or suspense had given place to more minutes of genuine misery, and the men in charge of the hose made no move to hurry the operations, the populace began to con- clude that thls was indeed a peculiar fire. Then, when the fire engines were seen to disappear toward their home stations without taking the hose with them it was revealed to the crowd. simultaneously and like a message from Mars, that none other than the Phoenix street cleaning department was at work on that corner, busily engaged in flush ing out the gutters with it's well known fire hose.
 IWas false alarm, but the innocent toll of the street cleaners had held the crowd for five minutes, making it be- l1eve that fire was in process of being extinguished.
