Notices have been sent out by
the bureau of international rev-
enue, announcing the fourth
quarterly installment on income
taxes will be due on December
15th. Payments must reach the
office on that date, according to
C. D. Bennington, chief clerk,
who stated that it was not suf-
ficient to have them in the mail
on that date.
This is the last payment un-
der the old schedule. The next
payment, which will be due on
March 15, 1922, will be under
the new revision which ex-
empts incomes $500 larger than
at the present time. Instruc-
tions on the new schedule have
not been received from Wash-
ington, but will be announced
in a few weeks, Bennington be-
lieves. -
As a reminder to those who
paid income taxes in 1920, and
a warning not to omit making
the return this year, all post-
masters are being sent a list
the patrons of their office who
made returns for 1920. This
list is placed in the lobby where
all may examine it.—Ok'oho-
man.

SCHOOL NOTES
Looking into the future
would be a good thig if we
could only select the things we
would like to see.
We're the Seniors of L. H. S.
Of all the classes we're the best,
We're smart, we're witty, pep-
py and wise
We sometimes tell stories but
never tell lies.
Our emblem's a lion
Our flower is a rose,
There's never a question
But some Senior knows.
Honor's our watchword
Our aim is to try.
To uplift all mankind
And vault L.H.S. to the sky.
Exams being over we have a
few weeks to "smile and be
happy" before beginning to
think of the mid-term exams.
We print anything but money

Subscription and advertising
Are the only sources oi revenue
a newspaper has, and often the
subscriptions do not pay for the
cost of white paper. |
Advertising today, especially j
.n newspapers, is the greatest .
ousiness getter there is. This j
is acknowledged by men who!
know. People read advertise- J
neiits in newrfpapers. They \
have been educated to do so.
dvery merchant in our town
tugh i to advertise. You re- j
member the story about John j
A anamaker. The Ant day he
.vas in business his receipts j
.vere $21.64. lie kept 61 cents
ind spent the $24 the next day <
.n advertising. We all can't1
duplicate this feat, but accord-
ing to the best statistics avail-
able three percent of the gross
.ales should be put aside for ad-
vertising.
Possibly you will say. "1 don't
.ieed to advertise. I've been in
thi:> town thirty years and
■verybody knows me."
Probabi.v they do, but did you
.•ver stop to think of the sales
you lose becaU.M* your fellow
.-ompetitor advertises? lie may ;
advertise the same goods you '
lave in your stock, but the peo- ■
pie don't know you haw- ti vin. j
I'he other fellow gets th.- aale
>ecausc he advertises. And 1
v. hen how much more business
.vould you do if you did adver-!
tise?
We know of one merchant
>.vho advertised a lot of good*
at nineteen cents a yard, and
they cost him 27 cents. He
took a clean loss, but while the
sale was going on he could buy
.k m goods at 12 cents. !!•' put
them in with the other gooe-
and the result was, that he
.'leaned his shelves of the old
goods and he broke e'en on the
leal. Advertising and good buy-
ing liquidated hitt stock without
a loss.
We can't all be John Wana-
makers, but we all can adver-
tise in proportion to our busi-
ness. Results will besure if you
advertise honestly and give ser-
vice. A newspaper can bring
people to jour store, but it
can t make people buy your
goods. Your clerks must do
rtiat and it depends on the ser-
vice you give as to how success-
ful your business will be.—Wa-
kita Herald.
Assigning I'nited States ma-
rine# to guard our registered
mail whs an excellent move. By
the time the marines have kill-
ed ofl a few more bandits the
latter may conclude that the
government poker has a hot
end.
All the world seems to lie
looking  o the I 'nited State i i
financial relief. Eventually,
when everybody else is taken
care of, it is possible we mav la>
able to do <•,,m« tiling for our
selves.
Whenever we have to hop
from in front of a speeding ear
*«• feel just like putting that
