must file our income tax returns and
take our medicine.
Ii is n bitter dose at best. Seere-
tary Mellon has presented to Cong
ress the draft of bill which for
the most of us will cut the dose one
quarter.
The people want the Mellon bill
passed. 1t will take from us $780,
100000 less of taxes than are now
being taken by the federal govern
ment.
Every wise congressman and sem
ator knows that there is no subject
about which the public has an in
terest comparable with its interest
in this tax reduction.
No excuses will be taken, If, be-
fore March 10, this tax burden has
not been lifted from our shoulders.
Secretary Mellon has shown the way
to do it.
Gentlemen of Congress, lay aside
legislation through, and the eoun-
try will rise up and call you bless.

GERMAN SOLDIERS CHEATED
OF IRON CROSSES

A recent news despatch says that
Prussia is keeping 10000 iron cross
es from the chests of 10000 German
ex-soldiers who were cited for BRAY
cry several years ago. A few thous-
and of them are rather put out about
it. Prussian Minister President
Braun, so far, has refused to rule on
the controversy. His critics declare
his refusal to deny charges that he
does not intend to sign the list
proves he really isn't intending to
carry the citations through.
For four years the fight has been
on to get these pieces of breast
hardware properly placed on the
shirt fronts of soldiers who had
every reason to believe they were
going to get them.
The military generals already per-
formed the necessary formal eere-
mony of announcing to the soldiers
their great honor.

STROK sNG THE CAT AND
RUBBING THE LAMP


In the Arabian Nights tales we
are told of the mystical lamp which
Aladdin rubbed when he wished
for anything. 1t is interesting, but
it is fairy tale.
In these modern times we have
to do something more definite. In
this complex civilization we are all
dependent one upon the other--for
food clothing, work-anything And
in order to get in touch with peo-
pie SO we can accomplish our ends,
we must reach their ears.
And in these days the newspaper
is the lamp you must rub. If you
have anything to sell, tell the peo-
pie about il in the newspaper-TIilS
NEWSPAPER If you rub the ink
into the advertisement our subscrib
ers will read it. AND THEY WILL
BUY FROM YoUi
But don't rub the cat the wrong
wayl A lot of people think that
newspapers are run for the fun of
the thing. They expect newspapers
to devote space, paper and toll to
tell about their activities as news
items. Then if they have any
printing to do they go to Trenton
for it. And if they have any money
to spend for advertising they put
it in little program that reaches
only about hundred people and is
Immediately thrown away.
For legitimate advertising this
paper can give you returns. But
don't rub us the wrong way by
"sponging" on us for free news
Items that only 20 to advertise

pay our bills and only makes you

In other cities. for instance, when
plays, concerts, etc, are given. tick
cts are always supplied the press as

speeding way of returning courtes-

STACKER SUES FOR DAMAGES

The best joke of the year is that
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, draft
dodger, wants s150.000 damages for
injuries erceived during the attempt
to kidnap him by party headed
by the American Lieutenant, Cor
liss Hooven Griffis, of Ohio.
Grifis was released recently from
German prison, where he served
sentence for the attempted kid
mapping.
Bergdoll also seeks $4,000 dam
ages for the proprietor of the no.
tel where he was stopping at the
time of the attempted kidnapping.
He says the hotel-keeper was hurt
in the fray.
