Der /, to Collect Delinquent Payments
An intensive drive to collect mil
lions of dollars due the government in
delinquent taxes will be started Sep
tember l, simultaneously with an
nOuncement of income tax payment
figures for the year 1924, it was stat
ed at the Internal Revenue Bureau at
Washington last week.
At the same time Uncle Sam will
round up thousands of income tax
dodgers who willfully evaded con-
tributing to the Treasury's Golfers.
Stiff penalties and, in some instances,
Jail sentences, will be given these Of
tenders.
Collectors of internal revenue in the
65 districts of the country have been
quietly preparing for the "clean up"
campaign, at direction of Commission
er of Internal Revenue Blair. Two
thousand trained investigators will be
thrown into action when the drive
starts.
Work Of compiling the income tax
reports for publication has been COM
pleted by internal revenue collectors
and every office in the United States
is prepared to make them public by
September. With this task finished
the collectors began scrutinizing ac-
counts for errors and omissions.
The Internal Revenue Bureau now
has a field force of about 5000 and
1000 of the corps have been trained
to investigate income tax returns.
This army of sleuths will compare
salary lists with returns made, ex-
anime reported earnings with profits
listed and deductions to make sure
the government has received the cor
rect amounts.
During the fiscal year ended June
80 about S4O,OOO,OOO was collected
from delinquent dodgers. The tax
rate has been lowered since the last
drive and extreme effort will be made
to equal the amount this year by
rounding up more evaders.

SOME POLECAT FIGHT

Marshall Trenary, a farmer, en-
gagged in novel polecat fight this
week, when polecats were discov-
cred in his hen house. He had to
reconnoitre the situation in order to
set the polecats in a strategic posi-
tion favorable to himself by facing
the enemy at all times. When this
was accomplished, he entered the
hen house with his shotgun and
blazed away, killing one skunk at
the first volley. The remaining two
turned tail and showed fight.
Avenues of escape had been closed
to them. Trenary retreated in or
dr. to reload for the second volley.
He continued the methods until all
three were accounted for, and then
quit the field Meanwhile, all the
chickens fled from the scene, and
roasted the remainder of the night
in nearby trees, where the air was
fresher.
Trenary is Frederick County cit
izen and poultry raiser.

Johnson disappeared after the muir

five feet, six inches tall, of slender
build, weighing about 140 pounds
His complexion is described as gin

HUNTERS, SAVE THE WOODS

With an autumn hunting season
getting under way in the northeast
and in the South, the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, issues an appeal to all sports
men to guard against forest fires.
Ordinarily, say forestry officials, a
great number OF devastating forest
fires are caused each fall by hunt
ers. These fires not only destroy
valuable timber but also the better
forms of animals, and thereby defeat
the plans of the hunters themselves.
Those whose duty it is to guard
forest lands from fire are usually APP
prehensive of the fall hunting sea
son From bitter experience these
men have learned that hunters are
frequently careless with matches,
smoking tobacco. and camp fires. A
great many sportsMen's associations
have for years taken measures to
prevent this earelessness by their
members Other clubs and organiza-
lions are following suit
In fact, the time is rapidly APP
preaching when hunters everywhere
will seek the woods with full knowl-
edge of forest fire conditions, and
thse hunters will be of invaluable
assistance in protecting the eoun-
try's forests rather than being the
agencies through which so many
fires are started
The Federal Government employs
its rangers, guards and lookouts to
protect the national forests. Most
states likewise have fire wardens and
rangers with police powers. Hunt
ers should take warning and be the
first to protect the woods They
should erase from the records any
reference to forest fires traceable to
hunters
The citizens of no community want
its beautiful landscape blotted out
with smoke from burning woodlands.

OH! FOR SOME STEAK

Oh, Geei I'd love to have some steak
That l could eat with gentle chew.
The kind that does not cause jaw
ache,
Nor make me cuss the sweet air

I've ground this ancient gristled
beef
Until I'll need some cuspids soon,
It's filled me full of woe and grief
And put my stomach out of tune.
The steers they kill for food today
Sure must have been allowed to
In pasture fields of raw-hide hay;
They've surely had tough old
home.
We go into our butcher shops
And ask for juicy, tender meat,
But what they sell for fragile chops
No human gink could ever eat.
They claim they've bought a youth
full cow
That's been fed up on oats and
corn,
And that they have the best beef
now
They've ever had since they were
born.
But still it's just the same old stuff,
That same old, aged rubber OK.
The kind that is so doggone tough
Twill put you in an early box.
I'd like to stick a tooth once more
Into chunk of realbovine,
Just like l did in days of yore
When greenbacks did not show so
green

FIRE APPARATUS URGENT

An urgent need of Woodstock is
adequate fire fighting apparatus. 1t
is an absolute fact that our present
equipment is far short of what is
necessary to give us ample protec-
tion and it is ridiculous to believe
that town with a population of
nearly two thousand people, with so
many valuable residences and bust
ness properties here, should be con-
tent to let its fire department con-
sist of couple of old, hand-drawn
reels
Woodstock has made remarkable
strides forward in the last few years,
but unfortunately, with all this pro-
gressiyeness, the fire menace has
been overlooked and it is about time
for us to realize that something must
be done. Negligence in such an i'm
portant matter, is simply foolishness,
for inevitably we are going to need
better equipment and badly The
firemen of the town are striving I'M
selflshly to give Woodstock the fire.
fighting apparatus it deserves and
it behooves the citizens to cooperate
with them in every way possible 1t
is true that the people have been
called upon lately for many financial
contributions In fact, they have
been called upon so often that they
have grown weary and listless.
Nevertheless, protection of life and
property is such a worthy cause that
we certainly must open our pocket
books again.
Many suggestions have been made
in regard to what we necessarily
need along this line, but there is
just one reasonable thing to do, and
that is, to purchase the very best
equipment we can afford, for in time
of need nothing will be too good
Like any other accident, fire always
breaks out Unexpectedly, and the
only way to cope with it is to be
prepared.
