WANTED TO Be
SQUARE WITH GOVT.
WAS FINED S1O
REVENUE MILL GRINDS SLOW.
LOCAL MAN THINKS HE
WAS FILM PLANNED

Talk about your government red
tape and other unnecessary stuff to
tangle one up, Adolf Bracker thinks
he is right in the swim with the in
ternal revenue department in a lot
OF red tape or genuine swindle and
he is just about through wondering
when the end of the tape is going to
come and he is going to be dealt with
squarely as he tried to do with the
internal revenue officials at Grand
Rapids. gAi r1. -
Bracker is a foreman in one of the
weaving departments of the White
mill. He also owns a Ford. About
three years ago he took a passenger
over to Grand Rapids and received a
sum of money in return for the pas
sage. Later on, Adolph got to think.
ing that in taking the person to
Grand Rapids and getting paid for
1T, he had acted as a common carrier
and he had heard that common car
riers had to pay war tax of eer-
tain amount on all business which
they done. Mr.. Bracker accordingly
wrote in to the Grand Rapids office
OF the internal revenue department
and told them the facts in his case
and asked the amount of tax which
he should ray. The fare was paid in
October 1917. After a time he re-
ceived a letter telling him to send
"a cents war tax. He did so. After
a few months he received a letter
telling him that the 81 cents had got
there too late and that as a fine he
would have to pay fifty per cent or
II cents more. Bracker sent in the
IL cents.
That was in April 1918. In No
vember he got another letter from
the Grand Rapids Office stating that
the government would stand for no
small fines and that they had fined
him $1,000 for his offense. The let
ter stated that as he had already
paid IL cents all he would have to
sent would be 1888 more. Wishing
to keep straight with Uncle Sam. he
complied with the request and sent
in the amount requested.
From that time on-about Novem-
Der Is he heard nothing more about
the matter and considered the affair
closed and he was of the opinion
that he was lucky in way to get out
of it that easy.
Along during the last holiday sea !.
son Bracker got another official
looking envelope bearing the famous
Grand Rapids postmark. He expect.
ed that the government had raised
the fine and was requesting more
money, but on opening it he read that
they had made an error and that in
case he had kept the letters and re-
ceipts for money which he had paid
in and would return them, they would
send his entire ten dollars back to
him, as the fine should never have
been assessed against him.
Anxious to get his tenspot back he
Immediately sent back his receipts
and all letters which he had received
and then began to look for the well
come letter with the check for $1,000
inside. Up to the present TIME
half year later, Bracker has not got
the money nor an answer to his let,
ter and it is commencing to look to
him as though he was fim-ffammed
by some one in the internal revenue
collectors Office and he has decided to
take the case to the chief office at
Washington, ID. c.. to see how much
more red tape he has got to unwind
before he gets the money back.

by far the most popular course is
auto mechanics, because this trains a

DIVORCE FIGHT in AUSTRIA

the Code prove that this permissive
authority governs only in the case of
relative lawful impediments, and that
an existing Catholic marriage is held
by the law an absolute hindrance to
remarriage.
If, for example, the law determines
that convicted criminal is not al
lowed to marry during the period of
his punishment, he may be dispensed
by the government from this relative
statutory hindrance.
Without, however, respecting this
sense of the law, the government of
Lower Austria-as yet the only one of
the seven provincial administrations
OF Austria to take that action-has in
itiated the practice Of granting dispen-
sations from marriage hindrances, the
existing Catholic marriage included.
The Socialist Minister of the Interior,

partners practices.

invalid under the present law, and that

SISTER THERESA DEAD
VENERABLE DOMINICAN NUN is
CALLED. TO REWARD.

At Saint Clara Convent, Sinsinawa,
Wis, on the morning of November II,
Sister Theresa, Martin died as the re-
suit of paralytic, stroke. Sister Their
esa had possessed a robust constitu-
ton, had never suffered severe illness,
and though in the eightieth year of
her age and the fifty-fifth, of her re-
ligious profession, she was active in
mind and body; so her death came
as surprise and shock to her Sisters
and friends.
She was convert, having entered
the Church when quite a young WON.
an, and the fervor which then distin-
guished her never abated. When not
engaged in other duties she was in
variably at prayer in the chapel, and
here the hand of Death gently touched
her on Monday morning when she re
ceived the first intimation that the
call to her reward had come.
