Last week Gerald Peterson had the
pleasure of entertaining Lieutenant
Norman Nourse of Boise City, Idaho.
The lieutenant was one of Gerald's
comrades during the late war, in fact
they served together for two years in
the same division of the ambulance
corps which was under the command
of Lieutenant Norman Nourse's broth
er. Before the war, Lieutenant Nourse
and his brother were classmates of
Gerald at Princeton University.
Sunday Mrs. Peterson, Gerald and
the Lieutenant were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. S. S. Peterson. Lieutenant
Nourse is bound for Europe but this
time he is merely going to France to
again traverse the battlefelds where
he and his comrades of the ambulance
corps served for many long, anxious
months. Lieutenant Nourse wished
to have Gerald accompany him on his
trip to France but that young man is
just embarking on his business career
and at present he has not the leisure
for such pleasure trips.

LANCER attacked the league, de-
nounced A. c. Townley, it's director,
who came to Kansas recently for a
membership campaign, and called upon
businessmen and farmers to oppose
the activities of the organization.
Townley, through the league, has

He concluded by challenging Town

LANCER said he was not member
of the league, but worked in harmony
with it at the beginning. His relations
with it were severed, he said, as he
could not stand to see the institutions
of the state wrecked.
He told of the financial difficulties
of the state and its people in the last
few months, and declared that taxes
had been increased, doubled and trc-
bled in many instances, and that the
league had accomplished little carry

He charged there was an active ALI

CLUB TO BE REVIVED.
Meeting at Armory Last Night De-
cides to Place the Commercial
Club on Its Feet.
Board of Directors Elected and Orga,
nization Will Be Perfected
Within Short Time.

Last night, at the armory, a meet
ing was held for the purpose of re-
organizing the Princeton Commercial
club and it was in every way a sue
cess. A goodly number of represen-
tative business and professional men
attended and E. L. Mcmillan presided
over the meeting with Ira G. Stanley
acting in the capacity of secretary.
Mr.. Mcmillan explained the purpose
for which the meeting was called and
stated that the commercial club should
be live organization. The club as it
now exists, he said, has lapsed into
inactivity but there is no apparent
reason why it should not be revived.
He gave brief history of the club,
saying it was organized in 1903 and in
corporated. The membership fee was
then placed at SIS and the yearly dues
at 81. The question is whether the
club shall be resuscitated or not. The
legion boys, he stated, have all they
can handle in keeping up the armory,
and club rooms in the armory, rented
from the legion, would help the post
considerably.

LECTURE APPRECIATED.
A. William Olmstead Entcrtains Lare
Audience at High School

ANdlt0rlum.
An audience of about $50 was in at
tendance at the lecture number of the
lyceum course, which was given in the
high school auditorium on Tuesday
evening.
Mrs. Geo. Ross opened the program
by singing a group of three songs
"A Night Of Romance" Dearest
One" and "Out Where the West Be-
gins" She was accompanied by Mrs.
Benz. Soule. II is always pleasure to
hear Mrs. Ross sing. Her voice is
sweet and r,ss1s.sntrolled yet Of suf-
ficient volume tosfA the auditorium. :,
Prof. A: Williams Olmstcad of the
University of Minnesota delivered the
lecture. Mr.. Olmstead is the head of
the lyceum ndalecture department of
the general extension division of the
university and before beginning his
lecture he explained some of the OBJ
jects and aims of the division.
Mr.. Olmstead is lawyer. His lee
ture, "Democracy-Historical and
Hysterical," showed deep thought and
study on the subject and, while de-
livered in a scholarly way, was diversi-
fled by many witty remarks. Mr.. Ohm
stead feels that the industrial revolu-
ton into which we are just plunging
will do more to revolutionize the world
than will the political revolution
through which we have partly passed.
The summing up of his views on
sane democracy was to the effect that
We must not cling b1indly to old theo-
ries; that we must be open to con-
viction; that we will need to lay aside
many of our present day ideas and
methods; that we must be willing to
"scrap" any of our present day ideas
or methods, dear as they may be to
us, if they are in any way hindering
the onward march Of progress.
The next number on the lyceum
course will be concert given by the
Mendelssohn Musical club, an orches-
ira with six members and which is
spoken Of very highly. This concert
will be two weeks from tonight-on
February 8.

INCOME TAX POINTERS.
Official Information From Internal
Revenue Bureau Covering Chief
Features of Lew,


Work has begun on the collection Of
the income tax for the year 1920.
Uncle Sam, through the bureau of in
ternal revenue, is addressing to every
person in the United States the ques.
ton, what was your net income for
1920?" The answer permits Of no
guesswork. Every single person
whose net income for 1920 was 81 900
or more and every married person
whose net income was $4,000 or more
is required to FLEA return under oath
with the collector Of internal revenue
for the district in which he lives ON
or before March Is, 1921.
The penalty for failure is fine of
not more than 81 600 and an additional
assessment of % per. cent of the
amount of tax due. For willful re-
fusal to make return the penalty is a
fine of not more than $4,000 or not
exceeding one years Imprisonment, or
both together with the costs of prose-
cution. A similar penalty is provided
FOR making a false or fraudulent re-
turn, together with an additional as
sessment of so per cent of the amount
Of tax evaded.
The income tax applies to women as
we'll as men. Husband and wife must
consider the income of both plus that
Of minor dependent children, and if the
total equals or exceeds $4,000 return
must be filed A minor who has net
income in his own right of $1,000 or
more must file separate return. To
be allowed the $4,000 exemption a mar
ried person must be living with hus-
band or wife on the last day Of the
taxable year, December 81, 1920. Di-
vorcees, persons separated by mutual
agreement, widows and widowers, I'M
less they are the sole support of
others living in the same household,
in which case they are allowed the
$4,000 exemption granted the head of
a family, arc entitled to $1,000 ex-
emption.
The normal t----rato~fof 1870 Is the
same as for 1914 per cent on the
first $4,000 Of net income above the
exemption and per cent on the re-
naming net income. This applies to
every citizen and resident of the Unit
ed States. In addition to the normal
tax surtax is imposed upon net in
come in excess Of $4,000.
Full instructions for making out re-
turns are contained on the forms, COP
les of which may be obtained from
collectors of internal revenue. Per-
sons whose net income for 1920 was
$4,000 or less should use Form 1O4OA.
Those with incomes in excess of 5000
should use form 1910.
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to assist
taxpayers in making out their returns.
An officer will be in Princeton on
February I, 2 and 3. This advisory
service is without cost to taxpayers.

.HUSKIES DEFEATED
Milaca's Heavy Basketball Team is
Vanquished by Princeton's
Lightweight Quint.
Splendid Team Work, Snap and Drive
Win the Day for Prince
ton High School Boys.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team won its first important
game of the season when it defeated
the husky Milaca quint by a score of
% to 81. -.1.
Although outweighed over. twenty
pounds to the man, the Princeton boys
played a snappy and aggressive game
from the initial toss: up till the final
whistle blew.
During the first quarter neither
team seemed able to gain any decided
advantage. Both played the ive-man
defense well, but the weight of the
Milaca players proved TO be great
advantage to them in bucking through
the defense Of the locals. It also
seemed to aid them in Keeping the
local quint from scoring, end the half
ended IL to 8, with Milaca on the big
end of the score.
In the second period the Princeton
team pranced onto the floor in man.

boys when they lined up against

a Milaca paper has it-"not to soil
their new SUITS" 1t did not require
the eyes of connoisseur. to see that,
although they wore no new suits, the
Princeton basketeers were out to win.
In the first minute or two the score
was tied. With short, snappy, passing
on the offense, and tight defensive,
the locals seemed to have things about
as they wanted them, and it was but
short time until they were at the
big end of the score by : six point
lead. Milaca soon began to rely on
weight and force to win, but only sue
cecdcd in arousing the unlookers to a
pitch of excitement rarely seen at a
high school basketball game. The
light Princeton quint showed ability
to dodge and sidestep the determined
rushes Of their opponents, and their
snappy passing gave the control Of
the ball most of the time throughout
the entire period. Some long shots
by Milaca nearly evened the score,
but when the, final whistle blew, after
an exceptionally fast period of play
ing, Princeton led-23 to 81,
The shooting of Erickson, the big
Milaca center, and the floor work of
Stromberg, the speedy forward, were
to large extent responsible for Mil
aca's scoring. It is difficult to pick
out stars in tthe Princeton lineup, for
although Nygren did some excellent
dribbling and shooting, his work only
supplemented the snappy team work
of his mates, everyone of whom is de-
serving of as much credit for the VIC
tory as any other. Team work and
snap and drive won for Princeton.
If the local boys continue to improve
as they have in the past they ought
to be able to stage some sensational
games the race for the district
championship which, in the minds of
Milaca people, Milaca had already
slowed safely away.
