Don't Forget to Make Returns on
Your Income lor 1917
fpHE Government is relying
on two means to get the
money to win the war. One
is by sale of Liberty Bonds,
the other by taxes, the small
er the amount raised by tax-
es, the larger the amount
that must be raised by sale
of bonds.
.Returns of income were
due January first; every
married person living with
wife whose net income for
1917 was $2,000 or over,
and every unmarried person
whose net income for 1917
was $1,000 or over must
make returns of income or
incur penalties in the sum of
$20.00 to $1,000.00, fine, or
imprisonment.
You will have to pay tax-
es on your income if it is
above the limit, Why, then,
should not everybody else
with a taxable income pay
his just dues to the Govern-
ment? It is due every per-
son who does pay to require
every other person who
should pay to do so.
A Federal Income Tax
Officer will be at Dacoma,
in the postoffice, January 31.
for one day only and the
- warning is sent out by the
Collector of Internal Revenue
that the best thing for you to
do is to see the Government
representative when he is in
this vicinity.

Mr. Harger of Iowa, and
his father-in-law, Levi John
json were very pleasant call-
ers at the Mascot office Sat-
urday afternoon. Altho Mr.
Harger evinces a well defined
predilection toward the no-
tion that he lives in God’s
country he admits that it is
necessary to do more than
“stir the ground with a crook-
ed stick” to secure a boun-
teous harvest, and livestock
won’t practically care for it-
, self where he lives. This is
not Mr.Harger’s first visit to
Oklahoma and from what he
has observed of our methods
of far mine- is inclined to the
f' / &f>idAn a little more
* strenuous application by the
average Oklahoma farmer
j would put the productivity
of the State on a par with any
other place on earth.
Long and Vance have mov-
[ed their cleaning establish-
lent into the building form-
erly occupied by Smith's
short order.

Among the War Poets
The Kid Has
*JHE Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don’t know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thot him a child, a baby
With never a care at all;
But his country called him “man-size,”
And the Kid has heard tj)9 call.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His mother—God bless her!—cried.
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother pride;
But he whose old shoulders straightened
Was Grand-dad.—-for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a rna i.

I’m getting more eatless each day.
My home it is heatless,
My bed it is sheetless;
They’re all sent to the Y. M. C. A.

The barrooms are treatless.
My coffee is sweetless;
Each day I get poorer and wiser,
My stockings are feet less,
My trousers are seatless;

Satan .s Volunteer
gATAN in Hell gave notice
He called for a volunteer,
To mix things f‘topsy-turvy,”
Make a Hell of this old sphere.
* * ' . 4
He wanted the m ;arrst ingrate
That the- portals of Hell would admit
One to kill women and children
While doing the Devil’s bit.
He wished a volunteer might go
And rale with an iron hand,
And scatter the seeds of discontent
O’er seas and all the land.
But not an imp in Hell found be.
Th Hrlliah job to fill;
Then Satan hit upon a plan
To call old Kais r Bill.
■‘Mein friendt, I’m glad to tak > dcr job,
Mit pleasure it mak s me mad;
But you must deal me safety first,
Uf effer I get in pad.
*‘Von leedle ding I vish to say
Undt you must now agree,
In case dcr job plows up der spout,
Yrou vill lock oudt for me.
“Now on this earth I’ll make more room
For you undt me to dwell;
Budt if dot Uucle Sam steps in
Make room for me in hell.

from Ohio who stopped over
in Kansas City to purchase
firearms with which to pro-
tect himself on his arrival

cept in a show he has us beat
and we’ve lived here three or
four times as long as he has,
