INCOME A FACTS

Revenue officers are visiting every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in the preparation of their
income tax returns for the year 1872:
information concerning the date OF
their arrival and the location of their
offices nay be obtained by writing
the collector of internal revenue Tor
the district in which the taxpayer
lives.
Forms for filing returns Of indlvld-
ual net income for the year 1922 are
being sent to taxpayers who filed re-
turns for the year 1921. Failure to
receive the form, however, does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file a return and pay the tax on
time, on or before March IS, 1928.
The forms, 1040A, for filing returns
of net income of $1,000 and less, and
1910 for filing returns in excess OF
5000. may be obtained from collec-
tors of internal revenue and deputy
collectors.
Returns are required of every
single person whose net income tor
1922 was $1,000 or more, or whose
cross income was $4,000 or more.
Careful study of the Instructions on
the forms will greatly aid in making
a correct return.

WHEN COAL GOES TO THE
MUSEUMS

Bituminous coal production in 1922
was at low-water mark, according to
figures for the past six years supplied
by the Geological Survey. These
figures show that whenever the pro
duction has fallen off in any year,
that the reason has been to strikes
and lockouts. Every man who is now
a purchaser of coal is making his
own figures concerning the folly Of
industrial conditions with in the coal
mining industry. When he finds one,
two, or three dollars a ton added to
former prices, he is ready to concede
that something ought to be done
about it. "Something' always IS
done. Usually it is an investigation
bv the Senate or House, but this year
it is different because a Commission
is "fact-fnding," and it is safe to
predict that when the facts are all

Grapevine pruning should not be de
ferred. If one waits until late winter
or early spring the sap will be in the
wood and poorer results 7 likely
to follow.
Before beginning the work it IS alb
~solutely necessary to know how best
to cut them. G~rapevines need severe
pruning. They must have it to be
successful. Usually amateurs refrain
from removing enough wood, suppos-
ing that they are injuring the plants
through the sacrifice of the growth.
1t is almost impossible to remove too
much wood from them. In some in
stances fully nine-tenths of the new
shoots are cut away, leaving but .
bare skeleton to make the new roots
and produce the fruit next season
When too much wood is left the clus-
tiers are small and the berries under
sized. Some times little or no fruit

WOODSTOWN SPLENDIDLY AT 1T

Who doubts if today the Christian
Churches, pulpit and pew, were to be
thoroughly aroused on the enforce
ment of the prohibition law, there
would come a moral revival of such
~far-reaching proportions and power
that it would put dynamite under the
bootlegger and law ~violators, meta
phroically speaking, and bring
straightway an era of law and order.
Such a popular moral revival, we be-
lieve is on its way, and was surely
given a good strong boost in Friends
Firstday School and Meeting last Sab
bath morning when Carroll and Frank
G. Petit, father and son, gave such
enthusiastic reports of the Prohibition
and Law Enforcement Convention
recently held in Trenton, to which
they were delegates from this Meet
ing and Firstday School, as were nine
other members of the school. The
Superintendent, H. Milton Flitcraft,
gave an excellent report of the morn
ing session of the convention the pre-
viOus week.
To give credit to whom credit is
due, the name of the leader of the
adult Bible Glass, Mr.. S. l.. Shana-
han, must be mentioned. For it is a
recognized fact that he is one of the
finest leaders along prohibition and
law-enforcement lines, and along the
line of all moral and Christian ethics
that Woodstown has ever been blessed
with. His teaching is not spasmodic,
but is in season and out of season,
here a little and there a little, it is his
life! If all the Churches and Sunday
Schools, and especially the leaders of
the adult Bible classes will go and do
likewise, law and order will prevail
and that speedily and permanently.
God speed the day.

Mr.. Fl. NJ. Green, local Ford dealer,
who has returned home from Phila-
delphia, where he attended the Auto
mobile Show, is most enthusiastic
over the Lincoln and Ford a exhibit
at the big exposition.
"The Lincoln car exhibit of the
Ford Motor Company is most lmpos-
ing and cannot help but attract the
attention of every one interested in
quality cars" he said. ''They show
remarkable advances in the construc-
ton of fine motor car body work.
All are distinguished by superior fin
ish. In the general chassis and mo-
tor construction certain recent I'M
provements in design and construc-
ton are revealed, including a new
conception in finish of the operating
parts of the motor itself. All devel-
opments in the Lincoln tend toward
the ultimate perfection in automobile
design and construction.
"Tn the Ford exhibit the open body
tvpes. touring cars and r%nuabouts
present the new sloping windshield
which is creating so much favorable
comment. In the two-door sedan the
new upholstery material is most
pleasing and gives the a the APP
~pearance of high quality usually asso-
ciated with higher priced cars.
"The new four-door sedan attracts
much attention. 1t is a real creation
in body building with full, easy lines,
The front seat extends the full width
of the body and is unusually huge.
The four doors are wide and strong
and the window lowering devices are
of the same general type as those IN

On To Washington

We are proud to have at Washing
ton, d. c., a National w. c. I. u.
headquarters, with an able National
W. Z. L. l. legislative representative
who looks after our interests and
keeps US informed of attacks that may
be made in Congress on the prohlbl-
ton law. When any legislation re-
lating to the Eighteenth Amendment
is under consideration in Congress
every w. c. Z. u. worker would like
to be present in Washington to use
her influence with her Congressman
(if he is not a moral leper), but of
course this is possible for compare
lively few of us. However, a plan
has been suggested by our National
leaders, which provides a way for
every W. c.. I. U. worker to be rep
represented at National w. c. I. U.
headquarters at Washington, d. G..
rollment cards of all W c. I. I. mem
bers in every State in the Union,
classified by Congressional districts
and alphabetically by towns and cities.
This new enrolment plan, which
calls for the signing of the en-
rollment card and our membership
pledge card, will greatly help u
legislative program and attract many
new women members. Women citi-
zens will be quick to see the logical
connection between our new pledge to
help enforce the Eighteenth Amend
mend, which reads.
81 do hereby solemnly promise, God
helping me, to abstain from all dis
titled, fermented and malt liquors, in
Guiding beer, wine and cider, and to
employ all proper means to secure
the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amndment to the Federal Constitu-
tion."
and this voting citizens enrolment
at our Nations capitol city. The
idea is being received with great en-
thusiasm by State leaders of the or
g~anization.

ing the names of it's forces, under the
able management of Miss Julia A.
Carpenter, of Salem, and the names of
W~oodstown's membership list has
gone forward. 1t is hoped that this
list nay be doubled during the year.

come a member, and the men are
cordially invited to become honorary
members. Let's all belong.

MAUD MULLER-I993


Maud Muller on winters morn,
Behind the barn was distilling corn.
Beneath her torn hat glowed the
wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic. health
Singing, she brewed, from copper
can,
A strong enough draught for any man.
But, as she glanced to the far-ofi
town,
White with its hill slope looking
down,
The sweet song died, and vague un-
rest,
And apprehension filled her breast.
She hid her still in a clump of weeds,
And busted herself asserting seeds.
The sheriff rode slowly down the lane,
Shifting suspiciously as he came.
"Ah, ha," quoth he, what smell 1
here?
Is it light wine, or only beer?"
Fair sir" said Maud, you think me
ILL.,"
But then the sheriff spied the still.
The court was packed from near and
far
When they hailed fair Maud before
the bar
She smiled at judge, jailer, and then,
Right into the hearts of the jurymen.
In vain did the prosecutor plead,
The verdict came-fair Maude was
freed
And now behind the barn each morn
Fair Maud is still distilling corn.

BILE of enforcement? They are not.
II fabrics or garments r not mark

der any truth-in-fabric law any rea-
sonable mind could conceive and the
case could be easily proven.
"1f the virgin wool content of the
cloth or garment was less than stated
on the label, the fact could be shown
by microscoptical investigation, ac-
cording to the Scientific American Of
December 1922 and other compe-
tent authorities. Such Investigation
would snow approximately the
amount of shoddy and virgin wool

enough shoddy to arouse the sus-

from local woolgrowers.

National legislation is, Of course,
preferable to state legislation. 1t
Is unthinkable that goods would
have to be manufactured and mark

State legislation also would permit
mail order houses to flood the state
with unmarked, inferior goods.'
Kleber Hadsell, well known Raw
Inns woolgrower. has the following to
say In reply to the remarks of the
vice president OF the National Re-
taller Clothing Association:
This is not startling news for
those who have been advocating t.on-
esty in fabrics for the last qrarter
OF a century. These proponents Of
common honesty in clothing are not
surprised in Mr.. Flynn's statements.
Such statements have been made Of
ten and answered often, but they
have had their effect. As usual the
%tlothiers convention will have a
batch of letters and kilograms tent
to members of the various legisla-
lures and congress and they will
conform to specifications. II they
do not arrive at their destination
too fast. the poor Legislators will
try to sort the original Thoughts
from the propaganda and give them
the proper consideration.
"The National Retailers are on
posed to all truth-in-fabric legisla-
ton. There is a reason. There Is
less profit in the manufacture and
sale OF virgin wool fabrics than in
