Lp’s Kuild While We f ight.
Americans have a habit of quit
ting work and crowding around
when an accident occurs. The
case in point is the world's "acci
dent" in Europe.
We are in danger of losing our
| heads and stopping work while tb
conflict is on. This wo hid be a
; serious happen i-g, but. happhy.
.every American can help to pre
1 vent it without adding to the ncT?
land confusion of going to war.
The oi !y tiling n< .cess.-ry is tc
■go quietly on in attending to our
l own business.
While cu nav 1 and military
forces are hastening in the front to
d st'oy a; n s z j
i that seek to impede our growth, it
is essential that we- dcub1
our
constructive efforts at home.
V/e can create and continue to
build while we fight, and we ought
to seize upon the advantage a
the greatest opportunity created by
the war.
Let us build while we fight.

Income ls\ Payment.
"Taxpayers are authorized un
der the law to postpone payment of
their income tax u .til June 15. but
may fulfil! their obligations to the
federal government for the current
year by paying their taxes at the
time the return is filed. By so
doing taxpayers will not only re
lieve thermelve of further annoy
ance, but will render additional
patriotic service to our government
by replenishing the United States
treasury at a tie when most
needed. ,
"The War Revenue Act of Oc
tober 5, 1917, author zes a dis
count at the rate of 5 p--r c<. nt per
annum for advance payment of i i
come taxes, but where the tax is
shown to be only a few dollars it
.would hardly justify the tax
payer to figure the discount. For
example, if the tax show to be due
is only $20.00 and is paid on the

ured at the rate of 3 per cent for
135 days (or until June 15) will
only amount to 22 cents.
"The payment may be made by
check or money order, payable to
the Collector of Internal Rev ni:e.
and delivered to any depu.y collec
tor’or attached to the return and
mailed direct to Jack Walker, Col
lector, Little Reck. Ark.; and it is
urgently requested that all who
| possibly can will avail themselves
| of this patriotic service and pay
their taxes at the time of filing re
turns."

Why Von Should Save food.
Below are giver, a few facts and
gures to show why it is your duty |
o help conserve the food supply of I
he world and in so doing help v. n ;
he war for freedom and demoma
y:
Food has taken a dominant po
rtion in the war. The American
oopie must prepare themsel ves to j
aerifies far more than was at first'
ft * * *
A large part of the world is com- i
eg into the position that Belgium I
i in and has been in; coming to!
he stage where the primary and1
mDortaut thing in *Hfe is enough
ood to keep alive. i
The allies today ask for 25 per
cent, more f»t and dairy products
:han we can spare unless we con
.rive to consume less. And they
ire not asking for anything more
ban they actually need.
In Holland they are proceeding
o kill on» milkon of tlm-ii dairy
attle because they cannot get suf
cient feed for them. A some
chat similar situation exists in
lenmark. Do not waste meat,
'he world's Hocks and herds are H
eing fast depleted:
Anybody that is looking for the
ollapse of the German people on
le food question had better turn
round and .look at the moon.be
ause the results will be the same j
iermany is in no more danger of |
ollapsing on that score than we !
re. if as much.

imes as much as in 1 893, and d if - I

bn requires 225,000 tons, ci j
5 ' .000.000 pounds, f fr ;sn beef. [
/hiuh is reduced somewhat by the j
ccasional substitution of other
resh meats.
T hree hundred million pounds of
'ur must be supplied for the
read ration, not including the fiou !
s-d in making hard bread. Othei |
;ems of food supply are 29.000.- j
-00 pounds of coffee. 25,000 tons1
