without further cost to the student.
These articles are to be used while in
the camp and returned after the COM
pletion of the course. The only things
needed by the candidates in camp and
not furnished by the Army are un-
derclothing and toilet articles.
Regulations for the citizens mil
itary training camps thus admirably
set forth the purposes they are de-
signed to serve. "To develop closer
national and social unity by bringing
together young men of all types, both
native and foreign born; to teach the
privileges, duties and responsibilities
of American citizenship; to stimulate
the interest Of the youth of this coun-
try in the Importance of military
training as benefit to the individual
taking such training.
During the past three summers
more than $500 young men attended
the G. M. T. camps held in this corps
area. There is no doubt but that the
camps this coming summer will be
better than ever before. Applications
to attend these camps can be secured
by addressing the c. M. T. C. Officer,

Of this act the war department is now
authorized to conduct camps each
summer for the training of American
citizens between the ages of IL and
"a years.
All expenses paid by the war de-
partment. There is positively no ex-
pense to the candidate. The money
he pays for the trip from his home
to the camp will be returned when he
reaches camp at the rate of five cents
per mile for the journey. This will
not only pay for the railroad fare,
but will allow an additional amount
for food and other necessary expenses
for the trip. The allowance for the
return trip will be given him before
he leaves camp. Where a student is
not able to pay for the trip from his
home to the camp he will be furnished
with railroad ticket and given $500
per day for his meals while enroute
to the camp and will be returned to
his home after the completion of the
camp, on the same basis.

WHAT INCOME TAXPAY YERS
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT II

"What's your income for the year
1928 2"
The bureau of internal revenue
today is addressing this question to
every citizen and resident of the
United States. Endeavor correctly
to answer this and other questions re.
lating to income and income tax will
be made by the vast majority OF
persons who annually are required to
file an individual income tax return.
However as evidenced by the files of
the bureau of internal revenue,
thousands of taxpayers are without
exact knowledge of the requirements
of the revenue act in relation to such
obligations.
The result is the filing of an in
correct return, frequently to the de-
triment of the taxpayer who fails to
take advantage of allowable exempt
ions and deductions.
AS an aid in the preparation of in
dividual income-tax returns for the
year 1923, the bureau of internal rev.
enue has prepared series of articles
based on the latest rulings and dec
isions governing the administration
of the revenue act. The salaried man,
wage Garner, professional and bus
mess man, farmer, in fact, every class
of taxpayer, will be informed fully
of the requirements and privileges.
Taxpayers are advised to preserve
these articles as a guide in the max
ing of their returns.
Every single person whose net in
come for 1923 was $1,000 or more or
whose gross income was $4,000 or
more must file return. Divorces
or persons separated by mutual con-
sent are classed as single persons.
Married persons, living together, are
required to file return if the aggre-
gate net income was $4,000 Tor more,
or if the aggregate gross income was
$4,000 or more. Husband Rnd wife
may include the income of each in a
single joint return, or may file seper-
ate returns showing the income Of
each.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
YOUNG MEN Is OFFERED

No better opportunity has ever
been presented to the young men OF
Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Colorado, to fit themselves SO
effectively to deal with the problems
of American citizenship, than is now
being offered by the war department
in the form of Citizens military
training camps to be held in this corps
area during the month of August. The
training afforded at these camps IS
mental, moral and physical and is
such as every parent will certainly
desire his son to undergo. Up-build-
ing of the character, the mind and the
body can be furthered in no better
way than by attendance at these
camps. 1t is sincerely hoped that ev-
every young man within the author
lied age limits will avail himself of
the privilege of enrolling.

can't be woke up in the morning when
the mill whistle blows-probably be

by which he makes out all right. He
snores SO loud he awakens the dog;

CAN'T DIE IN ARIZONA
EVEN IF YOU WANT TO

Attention was directed recently to
the case of an Arizona man who
plunged into a canal to drown him.
self but found the water too cold.
This happened at Phoenix.
In Flagstaff last week a nelan-
choly person tried the revolver route.
His skull was thick and hard. The
bullet failed to penetrate, and he has
nothing but sore head to puzzle him.
Also last week, in the same state a
woman swallowed a large quantity of
poison and is doing nicely.
Not only does Arizona's marvellous
climate conduce to long and healthy
living, but it actually begins to seem
that a person can't die if he wants to.
