UNCLE SAM WILL
RETURN OVERDUES

Important changes in income tax
procedure directed by Commissioner
David H. Blair are embodied in a
treasury decision effective December
is, which provides for the prompt
adjustment of claims for refund
and abatement of federal taxes.
Heretofore when an over assess
ment or over payment was disclosed
by the audit of an income tax re-
turn, the taxpayer was invited to
file claim for the abatement of the
over assessment and refund by
the government. When received the
claim was registered and filed away
until reached in due course for con-
sideration. Because of the large
number of such cleaims filed daily
delay in adjustment necessarily re-
suited.
After December ID, taxpayers
will not be advised of their privi-

lege Of filing a claim for the refund
of taxes paid in excess Of
amounts legally due, but instead
will receive a certificate Of over
assessment and a check in correc-
ton of the error, or, IL an ASSESS
ment is outstanding against the tax
payer for income or excess profits
tax. the over payment will be ap-
piled as a credit against the as
sessment and the balance immedi-
ately refunded. This will be of dis
tinct financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the government. It
will do away with the necessity for
the taxpayer filing a, claim for re-
fund and will greatly reduce the
amount of work to be done by the
bureau in the adjustment of claims
in the future.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for the abatement and re-
fund, but it is expected that the
number of such claims filed each
month will be greatly reduced. Eff
forts are being made by the bureau
to adjust within six months all
claims now pending and thereafter
to keep the work current.
1.-THE revenue act of 1921 pro-
vides that under certain conditions
interest shall be paid upon certain
claims from the date of the pay
ment of the tax to the date Of the
allowance of the claim. The new
procedure should greatly reduce
the amount of interest which the
government must of necessity pay
upon claims for refund"

reiing; the quarrel leads on until
he strikes his partner. His partner
picks up chair and hits him on
the head and knocks him uncon-
scious. When he comes to, his part
ner is gone; he then goes out to
crank his Lizzie; the crank kicks
and breaks his arm.
My curiosity Is satisfied until
am again attracted by the appear
ance of another man. His beard is
long and scanty, his curls up on his
neck; his clothes are dirty, old and
faded. He must have run away
from prison some five years ago and
has since then been herding sheep
out on the hills.
Looking around see an old China
man standing gawking at everyone.
He look terribly dissipated and life
less. Then / travel with him down
to his dark old den with a pungent
odor, no windows, no way for light
to shine in, and watch him get his
old hop pipe out and start to smoke.
Someone comes to the door and
gives him chop" which he goes out
to sell; this is the way he makes his
living.
My attention is now attracted to
an old, old man with a long white
beard and hair; very few teeth left,
and a big chew of tobacco in his
mouth. His eyes are rather color
less; he too is waiting to see this
great aeroplane. l begin to try and
figure out his past. take him
clear back to the time Of the civil
war--his boyhood days-when they
didn't have all these wonderful
things we have today. l begin to
feel for him. Why couldn't he be
young again, enjoy and experience
all the things of the present age?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they
could all be young again. This is
almost too much for me to imagine.
By the time you have noticed
many more peculiar characters you
hear the aeroplane is coming.

main objects which it is going to

1. The park which is later dis
cussed.
2. A sidewalk up to the High
School.
3. A dormitory.
We feel that with the help of

thank them and also hope they will
continue to help US.
PUSH COLUMN
The other morning in assembly
Mr.. Scott pointed out a goal for
which everyone in the High School
Is working for with all his might
and main. He told US how the
grounds around the High School
could be bought, cleared and a
grandstand built, track made and
baseball park built. We could
then have a good park.
We may seem a little selfish in
our attitude towards wanting the
park up here, but after all if you
will listen to some of our arguments
you will find we can give you some
very good ones. If the city of Win
nemucca ever enlarges, which we
know it will, don't you think the
town will extend towards the High
School? Possibly not entirely, but
it is bound to grow somewhere. A
park can be built here with far less
money than it will cost to build it
elsewhere, also we shall have a
larger park in the end. This will
also encourage more athletics. We
will be able to have track meets
every year. Doesn't that encourage
more trade? Also doesn't it show
that the town of Winnemucca is
wide awake? If you will ask any
High School student for more facts
l am sure he will gladly tell you
and also convince you.
We as body of students would
like to see this done and also tell
that we have done something; that
our hands have touched something
that we can leave as our memorial
to the High School to benefit the
incoming students and the larger
High School enrolment that is
bound to follow. We thank you
for reading this-now please help
US.
Mr.. Mitchell has been asked by
Superintendent Hunting to collect
data from the commercial depart
ments of the various high schools
of the state. This material will be
sent to Kansas City, Mo-, as part
of a collection representing the vo-
cational education work of the
eleven Pacific and mountain states.
The purpose Is to hold national
exhibition of this class Of work
some time in January, 1922.

Trip to Battle Mountain
tBy one of the boys who went.)
We left for Battle Mountain on
No. 10 Friday afternoon. Those
who took the trip were Joe Organ,
Walter Case, Charles Garteiz, Shelby
Harrington, Gerald Holloway, Bry-
ant Arant and Matty Legarza, Mr..
Scott and Leroy Murray. We were
met at the train by the Battle Noun
tain boys and taken to the high
school, where a swell dinner was
waiting for US. After the dinner
we went back to the Nevada hotel,
where we were to stay. At 8 o'clock
we went to the gym to watch a pre-
liminary. game between the Bones
and Collins. This game was won
by the Bones by the score of Sc.
After the first half of this game
was over we went to the hotel and
got in suits for the game. Our
game started at 8:45. It was not
a fast game, as we were unable to
get any team work on such small
floor. The game was a clean one
throughout. H.C.H.S. took the lead
from the start and Battle Mountain
was unable to overcome them. The
game ended H.C.H.S., 81; Battle
Mountain, 81. After the game we
were given a dance. The next day
we were taken to the Copper Can
yon mines. The first bunch arrived
at the mine about 1890; the other
two cars arrived about 80, after
having had car trouble. We had
dinner at the mine and afterward
were taken underground. We left
for town about 2 o'clock. After
wonderful time we left for home on

Student Meetings
At the regular meeting Of the
Student Body the minutes Of the
last meeting were read and ap-

carried that the girls be given a
party by the boys because they sold
the most basketball tickets. A mo-
ton was made that we reconsider
the original motion because the
president failed to call for discus
sion on the original motion. The
motion was passed and the original
motion, after reconsideration, was
passed. The president appointed the
following committee to make plans
for the party: Clyde Brown, Mateo
Legarza, Bryant Arant, and Fred
Defenbaugh.
The following report was made by
the secretary: Money received,

money on hand, $212.12.
An announcement was made that

scheme, the banker will invite the
children to the bank and permit them
to see for themselves.
The outlines of these lectures have
been sent to the superintendent of
all the states and to others in the
letters have been received promising
active cooperation.
Some of the magazines will publish
each month the lecture for the fol-
lowing month, and many school
boards have agreed to endorse the
work
The bankers association hopes tn
be instrumental IN giving the child
rem an understanding of the services
of the banking business by showing
them that the banks are serving a
good purpose and thus dispelling the
idea of mystery in its connection.
The first year may not show great
results but perseverance in the plan,
we believe, will be of great service to
our growing boys and girls.

and if we add to this the child's linn
tied intellectual ability, it is not
strange that he is sometimes uncon-
WINGED. Our very best powers of
mind and Judgment, coupled with in
finite patience, are barely sufficient
to set the little mind in the right way
of thinking and doing; and too often
we fall far short of this smallest pos
sible measure of mother love and du-
ty.
Beyond this there are two other
common mistakes of mothers. We
should not forbid an act unless our
decision can later be fully justified
by reasons that are straightforward
and right; and this reasoning process
must not be allowed to result invari-
ably in the defeat of the child's de-
sires, lest he become suspicious of it
and ready to assume an attitude of
opposition whenever he percieves
that it is about to be used.

Right and wrong do not mean much

Why should they? Do not right and

how can a little child who is without
experience in the world and incap-
able of mature study, have any real
understanding of these relations?
In reasoning with him. then, let
rs make so clear that it cannot be
missed the wrong character of the
thing he wishes to do. We must
show him with the most painstaking
care exactly why the act is wrong

impatient if he cannot even then see
it as clearly as we. At best, our ex-

VOMAN'S CON
GRESS POINTS
OUT THE Way

In July there assembled in Vienna.
Austria, the third Congress of the
Woman's International League for
Peace and Freedom. Attended by
representatives of twenty-eight ma
tions, it stood for woman's supreme
attempt to bring war to an end for
ever.
Although we recognize fully what
was accomplished, the outcome was
still Disappointing. Two important
facts became clear One was that
women will find it nearly as hard to
agree as to ways and means of at
tanning peace as do the men; the 9TH
er, that women, working alone, can
not exert any great influence upon
the affairs of nations.
The most promising result was the
unanimous agreement that the hope
of the future lies in the proper edu-
cation of the young. This seems to
be the true wisdom of the ages. By
education, all of our fondest hopes
may be, and some day are to be re-
allied Not war alone, but all other
human ills may be virtually abolished
by it. It is Woman's peculiar prob
lem, since she alone seems capable
of discerning its possibilities.

MAIL ORDER
HOUSES ARE
LIKE PARASITES
THEY FEAST ON A COMMUNITY
AND GIVE NOTHING IN RE-
TURN!

What is nation anyway? Is not
nation just a composite of small
communities, the strength of the
whole being no crater than its COM
ponent parts? How can a nation
hope or expect to become powerful
and a factor in international circles
if it is spotted with decayed, gone-to-
pieces has-been towns, made such by
those parasitic creatures known as
mail-order houses, but which had
better be called business vampires
The desired end is impossible unless
all the inhabitants of the country
band together with a firm determin-
alton to obliterate forever these COM
cunity wreckers, these progress OBJ
structors, these monopolistic com
bines that kill civic spirit, ruin COM
munistic enterprise and make of the
nation an unbalanced, lop-sided, tee
tering structure the fruits of bus
mess success going to the undeserv-
ing and the mere scum being left to
the worthy, whose efforts at commu-
nifty building are God-given in their
conception
There is absolutely no justification
for the existence of mail-order hous-
es They have built up tremendous
businesses because they have misled
the people, garbled the truth relat-
i've to the goods and prices, unwar-
rantedly slammed the hometown
merchants and gotten away with it
all because of lack of concerted ac-
ton on the part of home merchants,
home trade organizations and home
political institutions-gotten away
with it in some instances, because of
the stand-pattism of the home mer-
chants, who having entered a rut,
failed to render the kind of service
and dispense the kind merchandise
demanded by the home folks 1t is
all pity, for is it not as clear as
day that the only end to the growth
of these gigantic mail-order houses
lis the complete ruination of small
town BUSINESS and, incidentally,
the small towns themselves
The leech has already sucked the
life-blood out of hundreds of Gods
own hamlets and villages, where His
most loved and honored children, not
used to the vigorous methods of these
unethical willy monsters, have stood
helplessly by and seen their beloved

they didn't know any better than to
purchase needed goods from these
out-of-town gourmands-didn't know
that by so doing they were gnawing
away at the heart of their very own
selves. The very blindness of the
residents of small towns is what has
brought about the phenomenal
growth of these heartless mail-order
houses. The people have thought
that they were saving a few pennies
by doing their buying out of town,
while, in reality, they were penny
wise and pound-foolish-pound-fool-

being jeopardized by such practices.

Children VIII Visit Banks

The American Bankers Associa-
ton has formulated plan to dispel
mystery in the public thought by
taking the bank to the public school.
Ten lectures have been carefully
prepared, one for each month of the
school year. The banker nearest the
school is to deliver the lecture to the
seventh and eighth grades and to The
high school. He will use illustrations
and incidents familiar to the child
rem.
He will show them what banking
IS, tell them of its origin and its pur.
pose. Then after two or three visits
when he has interested them in the
