man without children, earns $40 per
week. Beginning January 1, 1913,
his employer will deduct from his
pay per cent of the amount by
which the weekly wage exceeds $12.
Thus the Withholding will be at per
cent of $28, or $1.40 During the
year, there will have been deducted
total of $72.8O After the close of
the year, the individual in question
would make out his return, both for
the regular income tax and for the
victory tax. In the average case,
the regular income tax on an in
come of $40 per week in the case of
would amount to about $116, and
the victory tax to $72.8O. This would
make a total of about $188.80. Against
this amount, the taxpayer would Off
set the amount withheld from his
pay during the year (S72.80), which
would discharge in full his victory
tax liability. He, of course, is en-
titled to postwar credit of 40 per
cent of the victory tax, or $29.12.
If he desires, he can use this credit
as current offset against his in
come tax and victory tax, if he has
paid out during the taxable year the
amount of the credit (S29.12) for in
creased purchases of war bonds, for
life insurance premiums, or for debt
retirement Assuming he has paid out
that much or more for these pur-
poses, he would deduct the amount
from his remaining tax liability, and
only pay the difference If he had
paid out only $25 during the year
for all these purposes, he would be
able to take current credit of that
amount, and have $4.12 remaining as
a postwar credit, payable after the
war.
While much more explanation
could be made of the details of the
victory tax, it is hoped that the fore
going will at least give my readers
a general idea of what it is all about.
My very best wishes to each and
every one of you for the New Year.

Department of Agriculture announced
last week.
Already on the rationed list are
sugar and coffee and meats are sched-
uled to be rationed early next year
at about 35 ounces for an adult per
week. There is also talk that many
canned goods will be placed on the
rationed list.
Farm Machinery Given Top Priority.
Farmers and implement dealers
will hail with satisfaction the an
nouncement of the War Production
board that the manufacture of farm
machinery has been given top prior

critical material necessary for the
manufacture of such machinery, as
we'll as repair parts. During the first
quarter of the new year 281, 900 tons
of steel, in addition to companion
materials, will be marked for deliv-
cry to the industry. At long last the
War Production board has discovered
that we cannot fight a war without
food and that food cannot be pro-
duced without necessary equipment.
Now let us have some real relief on
the farm labor situation.

ChaOs-Or Order and Reason.
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

CHdOS-OT OTucr anu ncdSOH.
Looking into the future we know
not whether it shall be this, or that,
or the other. Can there be any as
Surance that the present contains a
future? That the present chaos shall
be replaced by order and reason?
AS far as certainty is concerned
all we know is that the old year is
dying, that we are travelling along
on the last stretch of the road, going
on the last gallon of gas, and the last
ounce of energy, approaching the end
of the trail, but whether we shall be
able to make the goal in those few
remaining minutes is a question we
are unable to answer.
1t is evidently one of the great
moments in life we are facing when
all the past is buried like seed in
the ground, dying in order to bear
new fruit. One must have had great
visions of new world to come, must
have strength unconquerable in faith,
and undying hope to believe in the
continuity Of life when evidences
Is it not like asking a blind man
to enjoy the foliage of the forest in
springtime, or to invite him to the
thrills of ball game?
The Israelites, in the wilderness of
Sinai, said to Moses, Speak thou
with us, and we will hear; but let
not God speak with us, lest we die.
Answering, Moses said, Fear not,
for God is come to prove you, that
His fear may be before you, that
we sin not. Eek. 20).
Seeing God simply means perceiv-
ing and understanding His purpose
with us. Hearing Him means that
His words shall be to us like beacons
which point the way of life, for they
speak truly of His love.
Standing at the portal of the new
year, as we do today, so generations
have stood before us in fear and ex-
pectation of the things which are
coming on the world, not knowing
whether dying meant extinction or
the beginning of new life, wondering
whether there would be the assur-
ance of a new approach opening up
into the realm of new future born
out of the struggle of the past.
Israel were given new visions of
God showing that their path leads to
God, that it is He who occupies the
future. To Jacob, sleeping under
the starlit sky, comes the assurance:
am with thee, and will keep thee
in all places whittier thou goest,
and will bring thee again into this
land.
But this is our vision and assur-
ance as well. The true ladder by
which heavenly messengers ascend
and descend is the Son of man. It
is He who bridges the interval be-
tween heaven and earth. Mary was
told to look for God in the wonders
that takes place within. On the day
of his ascension Christ left this as
surance with His disciples: am
with you always even unto the end
of the world.
Truly He is the way, the stair that
leads from the past into the future,
from death to life. The glory of
God is unfolded to us as we accept
His love and sacrifice.
When in need this should be to
man his most arousing revelation.

ShaughnessyH Holds
His Charges Will Stage

To Wind Up Drills

Physical fitness, speed, alertness
and quick thinking are the by
words Of Clark Shaughnessy in his
football coaching at Maryland. He
is firmly convinced that these
factors not only are the biggest as
sets on the gridiron but absolutely
are essential for success in the pur-
suits of life, either in war or in
peace.
Shaughnessy says his ct" style
Of football enables coach to bring
out these qualities.
And Shaughnessy is looking far
beyond football in his triple task at
College Park, that also includes the
direction of physical education and
the athletic dictatorship.
Shaughnessy will wind up spring
practice Saturday with an intra-
squad double-header, with A lead
ing gridders being split to provide
the big game" and the Commandos,
as he has tabled the No. group,
also dividing to provide another
combat. In all, more than 80 aspir-
ants will see action. Action will start
at 2:30.
There will be a small admission
charged for those other than stu
dents, with the receipts going toward
buying equipment for the huge
physical fitness program that will
be put on under Shaughnessy'
direction with the start of the next
semester on June %.
