position. "The public does not know
Mr. Wilson as a man of hot temper,"
Lawrence says. "He has disciplined
himself to conceal it and shrewd men
about him have managed to prevent
him from giving vent to his angry
passion on public questions." Be-
of the lack of production, why should I sides, when on occasions he has
"blown up" the fact has been kept
from public knowledge. "He used to
get angry at Paris. On one occasion
he came away from a meeting with
Lloyd-George, Clemenceau and the
] rest of the peace conferees and never
said a word for hours afterward to
anyone in his household. He was mad

stories to thf effect "that Wilson has
Hn ungovernable temper."
the authorities sit idly by, and allow
the thousands to rtmain idle, with no

and murderer have no "personal lib-

Not content to go over the state
and injure the hopes of the republican
party with his blab on the League
of Nations, we again hear from this
dictator of national affairs, W. H.
Taft, in a copy right article attack-
ing Jake Hamon, as national com-
mitteeman, a man who has already
been elected to the place, and whom
the republicans are looking to as
their leader. If Hamon's work was
any more of a dirty nature, than
Taft's was against our lamented
friend, Theo. Roosevelt, we have an-
other guess coming.

will serve as a reminder of every Item

Une of the Important polata te keep ;
in mind is that a person's net lacome j
Is found by a computation prescribed j
In the law, and that each Item ef la-'
come from every source mast be con- I
sldered, unless specifically exempted, j
Another thing to remember le that j
the personal exemption allowed tax- i
payers by law has no relatlea whatever !
to the requirement to Hie return. This |
exemption Is not to be considered until
a person has figured out his aet la-
come and determined whether It wes ,
sufficient te require him to die a re-
turn. Then, If a return mast be filed, |
he should read carefully the Inetrac- j
tlens for claiming exemption, and com*'
plete his return.
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, a person may secure'
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue office. Many banks I
and trust companies are also furelsh- I
ing similar service during banking
hours.
Heavy Penalties lif Law. v '
For failing to make a return on time
the penalty is a fine of not- more than
$1,000 and an addition of 25 per cent
to the tax, if any. For making a false
or fraudulent return the penalty Is a
fine of not mere than $10,000 or Im-
prisonment not ex«eedlng one year, or
both; and. In addition, 30 per cent of
the tax. There are other pt laities fer
failing to pay tax when due, and for
understatement of the tax through
negligence.
Many Sources of Income.
Aside from what one may earn- by
his services, there are many ether
sources of Income. If he sold any
property .luring 191# lie rausl* figure

buildings, land, apartments $r\roolas

Want 600 doxen next Saturday.
Plenty of Chop, Shorts, Millrun and Bran, and our price is the lowest
in the city. A little boy about eight or nine hands high stepped in
the store one day this week and asked what we wanted for millrun
I told him only $2.45 per sack. He said, "I told that fellow down the
street (you know all the other grocery and feed stores are down the
street from me, so I have no idea what place the little fellow had
reference to), I could get it for $2.4fi up here. He said Lipe must be
stealing it" Yea, that is just what I am in Claremore for, to sneak
