Income Tax Facts

Revenue officers are visiting every
county in the United States to aid tax
payers in the preparation of their
income tax returns for the year 1922.
Information concerning the date of
their arrival and the location of their
offices may be obtained by writing
the collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer
lives.
Forms for filing returns of indivi-
dual net income for the year 1922 are
being sent to taxpayers who filed re-
turns for the year 1921. Failure to re-
ceive form, however, does not re-
lieve the taxpayer of his obligation to
file return and pay the tax on time,
on or before March Is, 1928. The
forms, 1040A for filing returns of net
income $4,000 and less and 1040 for
filing returns of net income in excess
of $4,000, may be obtaied from col
lectors of internal revenue and deputy
collectors.
Returns are required of every single
person whose net income for 1922 was
$1,000 or more or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more and of every mar
ried person whose net income was
$4,000 on more or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more. Careful study of
the instructions on the forms will
greatly aid in making correct return.

ANOTHER VETERAN HoNoRED

Little "Scotty," Brookline's heroic
newsboy. has been awarded a Dis
tinguished Service Cross. There is a
vacant chair at the family table, but
there is now national tribute to
explain it and migitate the sorrow
and heart breakings that the big war
brought TO this humble Massachusetts,
family.
The official story of this brave boy
tells so historically his record that
there is nothing to add. Here is the
place that his country has officially
given him: private Albert +. Scott
(deceased), Company H, 101st In
fantry, for extraordinary heroism in
action in Trugny woods, northwest of
Chateau Thierry, France July 2lst,
1918, During the Aisne- Marine of
fensive, Private Scott, an automatic
rifleman, voluntarily posted himself on
an exposed flank to cover a means of
approach of an enemy attacking party.
Absolutely alone he opened fire on
the enemy, killing and wounding many
and fully stopping the flank attack be-
fore he himself was killed by a sniper'
bullet. BY his heroic act he saved
the company great many casualties
and assured the maintenance of the
perilous position"
A record like that can never be
forgotten.

CROW INDIANS ESTABLISH FOCH
PARK

Billings, Mont.,-The spot at the Crow
Indian agency in Montana where Mar
shall Foch was initiated into the Crow
Indian tribe during his tour of this
country in 1921 has been named Foch
Park by the Grow Indians in general
council.
A letter was written to General
Foch asking that -Ba-Ko-Ta Ba-
Tsa-Chish, or chief of all warriors"
as the Indians call him, send them
some fitting memorial to place in the
park in his honor. The Indians prefer
captured German cannon as menu
orial, it was said. The letter to Foch
was signed by Plenty Coos, chief of
the Grow tribe.

WI SnN.RIILE OR Ruin

Mr.. Wilson cannot be unseated as
leader of the democratic party. The
question remains: In which way win
he exercise leadership? He cannot ex-
peet to recover the mental and bodily
vigor with which he entered the presi-
deney. Men have assumed as great re-
sponsibility at more advanced age,
but they had suffered no such break
down as he has and were such rare ex-
eeptions Of unimpaired virility as
prove the rule. But Mr.. Wilson can be
the real leader of his party, can choose
its candidates for high office, can build
its platform and mold its policy with
out himself being president of a can
didate for that office. His part will be
that of counselor to whom all lesser
democratic leaders will go for advice,
whose "yes" or mo" will decide whe-
Their men shall be lifted up or cast
down, from whom will come the inn
puse that shall sway conventions, and
he will direct the course of his party
in congress on legislation. Let there
be no doubt that he will rule as did
masterful boss of former time. He
is mentally in capable of following adj
vice, of taking counsel, much prevails
or it does not; there is no middle
course. The lesser leaders may incline
to rebel against bowling to this un-
bending will, but he is the idol Of the
rank and file of his party and can
summon the democratic masses to
whip recalcitrants into line. Successful
rebels are few and very lonesome un-
der the condemnation of the great
body of the party. If Mr.. Wilson
should choose to take the reins, he
win drive, and no heed viii be paid TO
the protests of the Reeds, Hearsts and
others who scorn his ideals.-Portland

supporter of President Harding, but
he pronounces very severe Judgment

VETERANS COLUMN"
WHY WE WENT TO WAR

1t is asserted that General Pershing
found that more than one-half of the
American soldiers in France did not
know for what they were fighting. The
statement was part Of an argument
for better education in the army, but
really it had no bearing at all on ed
ucation. Thousands of men with rep
utation for intelligence did not know
then and could not tell now what
brought American participation in the
great war. So assiduously have our
internationalist friends sought to be-
cloud the issue that it is no wonder
there is vagueness of ideas on the
subject. Former President Wilson de-
clared we were fighting to bring de-
mocracy to Europe, to destroy mill
tarism, to establish the freedom of the
seas, and what not. The theme of all
the internationalists has been sub
stantially the same-that we went to
war to aid Europe.
The truth is we entered the war to
avenge German violation of American
rights on the high seas. The declara-
ton of war passed by Congress and
signed by the President recites that
object and that alone as the reason
for our entrance. There was never any
subsequent declaration that broadened
that object. In considering all the
pleas that are coming from across the
water for American aid our people
should bear those facts constantly in
mind. M. Clemenceau insisted that we
had left duty toward France upper
formed and others of our European
visitors have talked in similar vein.
1t is not true, and Americans should
not hesitatae to repudiate it.-Port-
land (Me.) Press Herald.

A GOOD MOTTO

Those newspapers that are squak-
ing around that unless this country
joins the league of nations our fac
tories will close down and our streets
be filled with idle men should shut
w. Nothing of the sort has taken
place or is impending. On the con-
trary, labor in America is generally
employed and at excellent wages.
The league of nations has nothing
whatever to do with this country's
material prosperity, except that it is
UNNECESSARILY strengthened and in
sured by our keeping out of an en-
tanglement we have no business get
ting into. Mind your own business
has always been a good motto for
any man or nation to adopt. Eft.

FARM AND
HOME FACTS
TO KNOW Joy OF VIGOR"
START YOUNG

1T is not only the food we eat to-
day or tomorrow, but the food ou1
mothers ate before we were born that
determines whether or not we are
healthy, was a statement made by
DIR. Florence Powdermaker, nutrition
specialist Of the State Agricultural
College, in an address on ''T'he Joy OF
Vigor" made before the Home Bureau
of New Jersey during the recent Far
mers' Week at Trenton.
mot only must We give our child
rem the right start, but We must fol
low it up by missing on right habits
of living. We must not allow their
personal idiocyncrasies of eating to in
terfere with what is best for their
bodies.
st is not the indscretions Of today
or yesterday that count. 1t is the ha-
bits of long periods that insure heal
thy body. We must think Of our child
rem, not as they are, but as they ought
to be glossy hair, bright eyes, good
color, sound teeth, straight shoulders,
firm arms and legs, well formed feet.
All these are the outward signs of
an inward harmony
1--WE look with horror on, the scour-
ges made by smallpox and other conta-
gious diseases, but the mental and
physical loss of the rank and file of
people in this country from being not
quite fit, is greater even than these"
DR.. Powdermaker emphasized food
and rest as the two great factors in
creating the vigor which comes with
perfect health. Complete relaxation
for given time every day is absolu-
tely essential, and no amount of care
in the diet can make up for it.
A truly healthy person, as. the
speaker defined her, is one who IS free
from headaches, colds, aching feet,
stomach trouble, palms or depression.
She is full of the joy of vigor not only
physically but mentally. Mind and
body work perfectly together.
In an adult such condition is often
hard achieve, because of prenatal and
childhood handicaps, but every woman
can give to her children the intelligent
care and study with which good health
must be paid.

WHAT OUTFIT CAPTURED

ther the 10th National Army or the
37th (0hio National Guard Division
captured Montfaucon, France, during
the great American army drive a.
gainst the Germans was forecast to-
day with the introduction Of a bill by

Association to erect monument on

BLoCs ARE BLOCKS APART

In bhe recent elections some tenn
porary success was indicated in the
matter of bringing together the far
mer and the labor vote. This unifica-
tion, however, can not be carried very
far 1t is for experimental purposes
only. When it comes to a showdown
the leaders of organized labor and the
real farmers of the nation are as far
apart as the poles instead of being as
near as the polls. They could not pos
sible agree on the tariff nor are they
in unison concerning wage schedules
or a six-hour day They have virtually
nothing in common. 2astead of form
ing a single bloc they are blocks apart.

HENRY FORD CURRENCY

The German mark continues to hunt
the low spot. Today an American dol
lar will buy $4,000 marks as against
1880 two days ago. Still, the German
government is doing its best its
printing presses striking off 25000,-

GIVING THE LIE TO GERMANY'S
DECEITFUL PLEA OF
BANKRUPTCY

The Huns are just as contemplate
now as they We're during the war
Their schemes are just as cowardly;
their ruses are just as deceitful; their
excuses just flimsy.
While they have lodged their pay
ments of Preparations for French and
Belgian devastations, they have beer
banking their gold in Holland and
Switzerland. The following quota
ton from the New York Tribune is
but one of the many damning proofs
that give the lie to the decitful plea
of bankruptcy they have been whin-
ing:
Holdings of foreign currency by
German industrialists were estimated
to-day by Allied financial experts here
at between 81 100000 and $4,000 900.
600. This estimate was contradicted
by Stinnes's spokesman, who placed
these holdings at no more than $3.50.
100000.
Officials close to the inter-Alliec
reparation guaranty committee cal
this estimate ridiculously low. Accord.
ing to these experts German industry
is fortified by hugh supplies of for
eign currency, nearly all of which Is
kept in foreign banks and which was
obtained largely by the sale of paper
marks abroad plus profits derived
from foreign trade in the last three
years, greatly facilitated by the low
standing of the mark.
Many German who admit the finan.
cial and economic prosperity of Ger.
man industry as contrasted with the
bankruptcy of the Germa state finan-
ees as revealed by Minister of Fl.
nance Hermes in the Reichstag yester.
day, contend, however, that the oc.
eupation of tn Rhur will fail to wiring
any of their cash deposits from Ger.
man industrialists and will on the
other hand deal the final death blow
to the German fiscal and economic
structure.
