Tax Forms Now Beinq Distributed

Distribution of income tax forms to about 900000 taxpayers in the district of Washington and Alas ka is now under way according to Clark Squire, Collector of h. ternal Revenue.
 Virtually the entire staff of the collectors office is engaged in preparing the 1943 forms for mailing. Large quantities are being mailed daily, and distribu- ton in the state should be com pleted by January 10.
 The office is preparing for the greatest income tax filing period in its history. While approximate ly 900,000 taxpayers are listed in this district, more than million returns are expected to be filed, due to the increase in population and greater number of persons re- ceiving taxable income.
 Two types of forms are being distributed Persons who filed 1922 returns on Form 1040A (short formO will receive the 1943 version of the same form, and taxpayers filing form 1040, cover ing all types of income and sal aries in excess of $3000 will be furnished this type of return.
 In addition to the forms and related instructions, all persons who filed 1922 returns will re- ceive form 1125 showing the total tax computed on their 1922 re- turn and the amount of that tax paid to the collector during l943. This information will be entered on the l943 return, and, in SUD- port of the deduction claimed on the return for the tax paid in 1943, form 1125 should be attach ed to that return when it is filed on or before March IS.

Uncle Rays Corner

Marco Polo was filled with wonder
over the palace OF Kublai Khan.
ruler Of China, or "Cathay." He
called 1t 'the most extensive palace
that ever yet has been known" and
added:
Not far from the palace is a
mound of earth fully 300 feet high,
and a mile around at the base. It
is clothed with the most beautiful
evergreen trees. Whenever the
grand khan hears of a handsome
tree, growing in any place, he causes
1T to be dug up with all its roots
and the earth about them. No
matter how heavy it is, he has it
taken by means of elephants to this
mound and adds it to his collection. y
OF equal interest are the travellers
remarks about the methods of hunt
ing followed by Kublai Khan:
The grand khan has many leop-
ards and lynxes kept for the pur-
pose of chasing deer. He also has
lions which seize bears, wild oxen
and stays. 1t is a great sight when
a lion is let loose to watch the saw
age way it runs after an animal
and overtakes it.
The grand khan also has eagles
which are trained to swoop down
on wolves. Such is the size and
strength Of these eagles that no
wolf, however large, can escape
from their attack"
During much Of the time he was
In the service Of the grand khan.
Marco stayed in the capital, but he
also went on long journeys for the
Mongol ruler. OF all the cities he
visited, the one which impressed
him most was called Tai-du.
This CITY," he wrote, was built
by orders of the grand khan. It is
Of a perfectly square form, each
side being 6 miles wide. It is en-
closed with walls of earth which
are 80 feet thick at the base but
which slope toward the top, where
the thickness is not more than 9
feet. -
The whole city was laid out by
line. There are streets so straight
that when person climbs the wall
and looks from the top of one Of
the gates he can see the gate at the
opposite side"

Useful Work Urged
By Girl as Solution
10 Delinquency
Prise Contribution
BY Naomi PoIiis, II,


We boys and girls ought to be
ashamed Of ourselves. TO think.
that SO many Of us who are to be
the men and women of tomorrow
are putting such a problem in the
juvenile courts, the problem of
juvenile delinquency. What will
our soldiers on the fighting fronts
think OF us? Not very much, I know.
The main reason for this problem
Is that numerous parents have gone
AL out" in the war effort. They
have taken jobs to help Uncle Sam
and their children have nothing
useful to occupy their minds.
There Is something useful every
boy and girl can do with his or her
spare time. For instance, the AWVS
offers wonderful opportunity for
girls (even under 40. You can give
your spare time for many war Jobs
which must be done! After you have
given 80 hours of your time, you
receive your AWVS uniform free,
and, believe me, that is something
to be proud of! And I needn't re-
mind you girls about the Girl Scouts:
everybody knows it is . worthy or
ganization, and, Of course, there are
others.
Boys may become AFRAID messen-
gers and members Of the Boy Scouts.
These are only few of the many
opportunities Uncle Sam offers to
boys and girls who are willing to
help him. Let's make 1914 Victory
year"

What to Do About
Those Christmas
Greeting Cards
Prise CentFibutisn
By Peggy Chrisman, H,
Coolidgo High 0chool.

SV0uuSo Al9n SCHOOL.
About this time Of year people be-
|gin the tedious task Of making out
their Lists Of Christmas cards, 10
they won't forget any one next year.
They proudly sit back in their
chairs and sigh. saying, "Well, that's
over with for another year." It's over
with, al right-all too much over
with. The cards they received ind
their way either to the waste basket
|or to the darkest corner Of 4 drawer,
only to be forgotten.
So why not save them and put
them to use? About the most
thoughtful, as well a. useful, way OF
|disposing Of your cards Is to paste
the pretty covers In scrapbooks and
send them to children's hospitals
and convalescing homes. Many
lonely little boys and girls too sick
to get out and play would appreciate
. Christmas card scrapbook.
Another idea for your Christmas
greetings can be put to use right in
your own home. Select your pretti-
est and most interesting cards and
fit them into little wooden picture
frames that can be found ct any 10
cent store. Scottie and Santa Claus
cards look cute in a nursery, and
snow scenes are nice for living or
dining rooms. Arrange them In
groups OF three or four and watch
the company exclaim over them.
Finally, why not turn Christmas
cards into victory aides2 Tie them
IN bundles and give them to paper
drives and feel that you and your
friends are helping to win the war

The Stone That Was a King

/ kingdom. We decided to find the
king.
AS we went up the creek the
wind howled weirdly through the
trees and stones. Suddenly, I, who
was a little ahead, found a horrid
stone face peering at me from un-
der the water.
Daddy" I cried. 'Look-here is
the ruler of this kingdom!"
The lips on the stone seemed to
move, saying, Leave my kingdom.
Surely, this movement must be only
the ripples in the water. But the
stone spoke again: IT am king of
this creek and all that is in it. Cor
knew that it was only the ripples
IN the water, but I had a strange
feeling as I stared at that hard face
that looked as If it were used to
giving commands Again that aw-
ful look came into the face and 1t
started to speak. But I did not let
the stone continue. I grabbed 1t
out of the water.
Immediately, the eyes lost their

could not bear to leave its kingdom.
When we reached home we made
an altar with green silk curtains,
gold trimmings and an incense
burner and placed the stone on it,
but it remained lifeless. Finally,
in desperation, we painted the
stone to emphasize its humanlike
features. We gave 1t a gold cap,
broad nose and brilliant white teeth.
We touched the cold eyes with phos-
phorescent dye so that they glowed.
To protect zeus, as we named our
king, we returned to the stream and
selected several other stones that
resembled people to act as body
guards.
But, however gay we tried to make
zeus, he has never seemed to like
being king of my rock collection. I
imagine he longs to return to the
creek that was his first kingdom.

What One Farm Boy
Is Doing in War

Initiative and enterprise nearly
always pay-on a farm just as in a
big city. And to prove it, here is a
letter from Charles Hugh McNally
of Waynoka, Okla, telling how he is
helping Uncle Sam to win the war:
my folks live on a sandy farm
and I have rabbit traps set to catch
cottontails during the winter. I kill
and dress them myself, soak them
overnight in salt water, and sell
them at 20 cents each.
IT had g SOW which I sold to buy
two $25 bends. I sold corn and
melons, the wool of my sheep. and
exhibited chickens at the school
poultry show and got some money
for stamps. Also helped Mother
dress some chickens and sold them
to get more stamps.
II sold $3.50 In scrap rubber, and
hauled so much scrap iron to school
last fall that it took me a week Zone
trip a day. to get it there in my
wagon. I picked up old bones and
an iron boiler of old nails. gathered
up loose wood from trees, fences,
ETC., sold 1t and got four stamps
with the money.
Il get stamp a week for keeping
the coal bucket filled and wood in
the house. I get a stamp for brush
ing my teeth every day all week, but
if I miss one day I don't get a
stamp that week.
MY dogs have earned $40 for
me by catching jackrabbits I save
their ears and sell them. My new
sow has nine pigs which will bring
in more money for stamps, as will
the wool off my eve. I also sell
puppies when there is a litter.
II now have four $25 War bonds
in the bank and intend to get that
many more this year. I have three
brothers in the service (soldiers) two
others in defense work, one who is
a sailor, and the other does all the
farming for Dad"

chose four songs to begin with,
but just recently they added some
more to that number. Their first

their whole collection of songs for
this event. They had practiced at
least once a day during the pre-
ceding week.
More recently the boys sang at
Walter Reed Hospital, where. I'm
sure, they provided royal enter
tainment.

what they should be called, they

has heard their harmony will agree
