FLU" IN TWENTY STATES
But Public Health Service Says Dis
ease is Not Epidemic.

Washington, Jan. a4.-lhe wave OF
influenza has spread throughout
practically the entire country accord
inc to report stu the United States
public health service tonight.
1t hA, not yet reached the epidemic
stage, however, and every effort is
dycin4 made by Surgeon General XII
pert l,luc and other officials ol the
health service To prevent the country
irum getting influenza pane.
Latest adviccs to the health service
headquarters here tonight showed
that the nalady had appeared IN New
York, Kansas Mississippi. Virginia.
Oklahoma, Wyoming. California,
Montana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida,
Connecticut, Wisconsin, Iowa, Idaho,
Vermont. South Carolina, North Da-
kota, Rhode Island and West Vir-
g,na.
Figures on the total number ri
cases in the entire country and the
-rorr1pnrttttyr death att have Hot been
compiled. Detailed reports so far are
scattering but nothing has developed
to change the opinion OF officials that
the disease is generally milder than
during the epidemic which swept the
nation. Its increase was described
as gradual but not general.

is allowed an exemption of 5000 for
each dependent child under IS years
old.
Through the efforts OF Governor
,ardner the state auditor was fur
ni,hcd a complete list OF the persons
who last year paid an income tax to
;hc federal government. The lists for
each county have i'll turn been placed
in the hands OF the, county assessor.
'Ihc tax returns must be filed with
the assessor before March or a pen
atty will be added. However, the tax
docs not have to lie paid until any
time up to and including .june l.
OF the blanks already mailed out.
10000 OF them are for corporations
which are required to pay the/ same
tan nas ain Individual. The auditors
office has established there are APP
proyimately 30 per cent as many cor
p"rations subject to the tax as indi-
viduals.
Under the income act operative in
1910, when the rate OF taxation was
only one third as much as it is now,
and when the exemptions were twice
as great a total of $I.So5,ooo was
placed on the tax books for collec-
tion. However, a large part OF this
has never been collected because of a
joker which was placed in the bill
allowing individual and corporation
a credit OF taxes already paid. This
Joker has been removed from the
present act and there will be no ques-
ton about the collection of the
money
The county assessors are allowed IS
cents for each return made to Their
offices. ~.
Officers and employees OF the state
must pay the income tax, but are
exempt from the federal tax Like
wise federal officers and employees
are exempt from the state act.
This has caused the puzzling ques-
ton to rise as to whether a railroad
employees are subject to the state
tax One railroad man has raisci
the contention that he does not have
to pay it because the railroad lines
are under control OF the government
The question has been referred to

BARBAROUS BRITAIN.

The instruction that is raging
in Ireland is a burning example
Of the futility Of the war for de
mocracv and self-determination.
This precious word, "self-determ-
nation, " coined out of the diplo-
matice necessity Of war, is not to
be found elsewhere than on the
lips of diplomats and statesmen.
There has been no sincere effort
to put it genuinely into practice
in Ireland for instance. The man
who does not realize that the Irish
people are absolutely enslaved
and subjected by force of British
arms is simply ignorant. The peo-
pie of Ireland long passionately
to be free; they have never ceased
TO struggle for this freedom since
fr>t placed under the paws Of the
3: itish lion.
If there was to be a real. acid
test Of the vitality Of thr principle
Of sclf-determination as '.'vocatcd
by the ruling class statesmen, that
test was to be observed in Ireland.
And in Ireland we have seen how
sclf-determination has been APP
piled. Instead of Irish self-de
termination we have seen British
domination.
Irrom President Wilson, the
chief prophet of self-determina-
ton, there has come no word of
condemnation for the brutal Brit
ish violation of this principle in
Ireland. From the civilized ma
tions who were Mortified at the
German invasion of Belgium there
has come no protest aainst the
equally indefensi'ble and vicious
British occupation Of Ireland.
In India and Egypt Especially
in India--,English rule has been
wen more ruthless. And it is
British diplomacy that has backed
the Poles in their stupid land dis
astrous warefare against Soviet
Russia. England has, since the
war, most evilly trampled upon
every single one Of the high and
virtuous principles that she used
as mental munitions in the world
war.
And yet it has not ben so very
long ago that this treacherous,
cruel center of imperialism and
intrigue was Landed as the great
defender of civilization If Eng
land was the defender Of civiliza-
ton. she is so no longer; she is,
on the contrary, foremost among
those who apparently seek to
destroy rivilization.-Bxchange.

WHAT A CONTRAST.

We recently saw one of our cit
liens going home with a small
basket of fruit. A few evenings
later we passed him again and
he had a small package of candy,
On both occasions we were walk
ing with the same gentleman who
remarked that the man with the
candy was good fellow, but he
blew in all he made foolishly. We
merely smiled in reply, but could
not help, in our own mind, as we
walked along, drawing contrast
between the two men. One was
smoking cigar that cost as much
as the candy; burning it into
ashes and out into the air the
money the other spent for nick
hacks that brought smile Of
happiness to the cheeks he once
thought so rosy, and gladdened
the eyes that still sparkled like a
thousand diamonds with their
tell-tale love for him; carrying
home one by one, the sweetest
memories Of life, building even
ing after evening an image in a
little heart Of Home Sweet
Home" that no time nor trouble
can erase. Nourishing and kind
ling a new love that would in old
age look back to those happy
home comings and bless his men,
DRY as the dearest that ever
lived. "-Exehangs.

IBERIA BOY WRITES ABOUT SUM
MER TRAINING SCHOOL.

Chicago, Ill, July 11tb 1920
Dear Mother-It has been some time
since ! have heard from any Of you at
home and it has seemed quite queer tina,
you did not write or either it is that
nave not received your letters as ! have
VsbCen transferred to the third Regiment
and therefore my address has changed
perhaps causing some confusion in my
location on the station.
l am now in the third Regiment work
ing in the headquarters office under a
young man who enlisted the same day
did, although he enlisted in Savannah
Ga. and me in New Orleans, but we ar
rived on the station together and were
placed in the same dormitory so in that
way became acquainted. The third Reg
iment is a temporary Regiment which is
to last for about two more months. The
reason for this Regiment to train boys
from the different high schools in the
State Of Illinois and also a good many
men who were in the Navy during the
war (U. S. Naval Reserve Forces) and
who are coming for six weeks summer
training, in fact from what ] understand
that their training NAV be extended at
their own will, or request We expect TO
have about one thousand men and about
hundred or so regular navy men for
special detail work such as electricians,
firemen, carpenters, etc.
met Mr.. Goldstein here last Thurs
day as ! was instructed to met him here
at this hotel on the 9Th. It was quite
~kte when I met him so did not have a
chance to 90 very far nor did we have
much time to spend together, he prom
ised TO come out 10 the Lakes TO see me
Friday morn but did not appear. ! sup
pose his reason for not coming was that
he had to leave Friday and could not
get away long enough or something of
the kind. He went from here to New
York, and then from there back home
again, some nice trip I say.
also met Harvey Hill the same night
in this hotel also. | suppose you know
who ! mean, he is connected with
Pfister Bros. Jewelry Co. in New iberia
He was with Lionel King from New
Iberia also, although he lives here now
and had only met Mr.. Hill while he was
staying here for the convention. Mr. c.
M. Bahon is also here ! got his address
from Harvey and wrote him letter
telling him that l was in the Navy and
that ! am so near him. He is here TAX
ing up a special course in some study,
but i do not know what.
Last Wednesday met crowd of
girls from all over the United States at
the Lakes. They had come over early
in the afternoon and witnessed the week
ly review which is held every Wednes-
day afternoon at 200, and after the re-
view they went over to the boxing match
es then after the fights they went over
go the hostess house and / met them
there and we danced there until eight
p. M. and then went over to the Hospital
Corps Training School and danced there
until about ten and then left 10 see

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.

The Newfoundland dog that
was shot dead by robber in q
raid on restaurant last night
died for his friends, just as truly
as ever d man died for his friend.
Summoned to his aid by his mas.
ter, already wounded by a bull
dog, this dog, of noble but van
Ashing breed. did not stop to rea-
kfbn. His master was in danger
to his masters aid he rushel even
against the muzzle of a revolver
pointed at him.
He grappled with one Of the
two thieves, the other thief shot
him through the head. He
dragged himself TO his master s
feet and there died with his eyes
searching those of his master,
doubtless with the question that
dogs have asked of men through
the ages since dogs ceased to be
wolves: "TIave / done WELT"
This Newfoundland dog did do
well. He did supremely well. He
deserves to be named in the day S
record Of life; because he dis
played the highest moral attri-
butte of men and of dogs alike
fine instinct of loyalty.-New
