AN INCOME TAX LAUGH

The income tax is not without its bright side. A
prominent newspaper writer told recently of a
muncation received from the federal Treasury De-
partment informing him that he had sent the United
States S159 too much in paying his 1920 income tax
The letter ended with curt request for an expana-
ton. The gentleman went to length to explain
to the government about his personal shortcomings
in arithmetic and checkwrtng, believing that the gov
eminent would understand that the over-payment
perfectly unintentional, and that S159 a small
sum between friends. t
The matter did not end there. He had another
official communication saying that if he would send
proof of this over payment, the necessary activities
toward reimbursement would be set in motion. That
task too much for him. 1t had been difficult
enough to make out his income tax return for that year
and to get the payments made on time, without Dig
gng up records of the process So he just let the
government keep that money It's gift. )
Neither public private business be
without certain amount Of routine. Although there
are times when ''red tape-routne carried to an ex-
treme-seems utterly unreasonable and silly, it still
cannot be wholly thrown out If the sum had been
SO dollars instead of 159 cents, it might have been
worth the taxpayers time to hunt up his and
proofs Yet in the Treasury Department had
authority to drop the matter without making pains
taking report of the as if the had been an
important one. There is whimsical element which
complicates government efficiency, organization
and routine. @~%

UNCLE wIGGILY AND THE BOB
CATS BUTTON

One day, when Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy had gone down town to the
six and seven cent store to see about
getting new diamond dishpan, as
her old one leaked, Uncle Wiggily
sat alone in the hollow stump bun
galow.
"Heigh- ho!' said the bunny rab-
bit gentleman to himself, sort Of
stretching and yawning. "Heigh-
no! l think III go out and look for
an adventure.
Mr.. Longears twinkled his pink
nose once or twice, thoughtful like,
he stretched first one leg then an
other and went to the front hall
rack to get his coat.
AS he put it on he noticed that
one of the buttons was dangling by
a single thread in most untidy
fashion.
"This will never do" said Uncle
Wiggily. 81 must get needle and
thread and sew OH this button, or
may lose it when I go adventuring,
Nui DC cahS Vouio AoiSANS
me.
The bunny rabbit gentleman
knew where his muskrat lady house
keeper kept her sewing things and
soon, with needle and thread, he
was ready tor sew on his dangling
button. Uncle Wiggily didn't use
q thimble. Somehow or other he new
er could use a thimble. ~
"a five-cent piece will push the
needle through as well as thin
ble,' said the bunny. And If you
aren t rich enough to afford five
cent piece penny will do as well. "
:, But Uncle Wiggily was quite
rich, having found his fortune, and
SO he had a five-cent piece. With
this he pushed the needle and thread
through the holes in the button, and
through the cloth of his coat until
he had sewed the dangling fastener
on firmly.
"Now I'll go adventuring-ad-
venturing l shall go, and many cur.
Jour things I'll find, over the ice
and snow!" So sang Uncle Wiggily
