The Shum'n Club was delightfully
entertained by their sister Club, the
Psyehoerats, at the home of Mrs.
C. M. Elkius last Saturday. When
the guests arrived they found the
shades all drawn and everything so
mysterious that their curiosity was
almost mastering them before Mrs.
Robert Douglas, after warm words of
welcome, introduced them to some
most famous dusky maidens who en
tertained them with singing, dancing
and Jokes especially Jokes on the
Shumias. After a very pleasan even
ing refreshments were served consist
ing of oyster patties, olives and coffee
followed by a second course of brick
ice cream and cake. The tables were
tastefully decorated with daffodils
and ferns and the place cards were of
a unique daffodil design.
must accompany each and every pay
ment made between now and March
15. The tentative return of estimat
ed tax is relief measure adopted
by the bureau for taxpayers who can
not complete their returns on time.
A tax payer who needs additional
time for making a return cannot be
relieved of the payment of the tax
due or the estimated tax due. But,
on niaKing the required payment
between now and March 15, the taxi
payer can secure further time up to
forty-five days In which to file the
complete return. The bureau in this
way meets the convenience of tax
payers who are pressed for time, but
it cannot relieve them of the require
ment that their taxes due on March
15 must be paid between now and
the due date.
It is urged that every tax payer
who can do so, make payment In full
when filing bis return. This meth
od will greatly aid the Revenue offi
cers and relieve the tax payer of the
nceasity of guarding against over
sight on future installment dates. In
each rase where payment In full la
not made, the first payment must be
at least one-fourth of the total tax
due, or at least one-fourth of the es
timated tax due. No matter which ot
these methods Is used in paying taxes
due March 16, the payment must ac
tually be in the Collector office by
the due date, accompanied by a re
turn."

M. MONTGOMERY VICTIM
OF AN ACCIDENT SATURDAY
BONI S TO BE PAID SOLDIERS
DISCHARGED SINCE APR 6, 17
Section 1406 of the Revenue Act
approved February 24, 1919, author
izes the payment of a bonus of 160.00
to officers, soldiers, field clerks, and
nurses of the Army upon honorable
discharge, resignation or otherwise
This bonus is not payablt to the heirs
or representatives of any deceased
soldier.
Those who are discharged hereaf
ter will receive the bonus on the same
roll or voucher upon which thev are
paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $60 bonus, should write
a letter to their Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington,. D. C,
stating their service since April 6,
1917, the date of last dlsch area nnri
their present address to which they
desire their bonus checks to be sent
and enclosing with this letter their
discharge certificate or military or
der for discharge and both, if both
were issued.
Upon receipt by the Zone Finance
Officer, Washington, D. C, of this
information and the soldier's dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mail
ed to the claimants In the order in
which their claims were received by
him. The discharge certificate will
be returned to the soldier with the
check.
It is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits of
this act and while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable
it will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.
James Montgomery of lower Crook
ed river narrowly escaped death on
Saturday when his team ran away
throwing him to the froieji ground
the fall rendering him unconscious.
He had started to Redmond with
a crate of chickens and some other
produce in a light wagon driving a
spirited team which was afraid of a
railway train.
The City of Prineville train, oiit-
boifnd. passed Mr. Montgomery some
distance east of Weaver Point, where
the wagon road runs close to the
track. He succeeded In maintaining
control of the team while the train
passed but when ho got to Weaver
Point, the train was standing still,
unloading gravel on the track. The
team reared and pranced and finally
took the bits in their teeth and holt-
ed. They run a short distance when
they came in contact with a guy wire
to a telephone pole.
The front wheel of the wanron
passed over the wire, hut the rear
wheel caught and held. The team tore !
loose rrom the wngon, throwing Mr.
Montgomery, who still had hold of
the lines. Into the air. He lighted on
the frozen ground on his head and
shoulders about forty feet distant.
He was unconscious when reached
moment later by Bert Stanton of
the train crew, who placed him on the
seat cushion and bathed his head
In water from the ditch at the side of
the road. The team kept running
furiously, struck a telephone pole Just
ahead, broke the nock-yoke and lines,
tearing, themselves apart. They con
tinued down the road until they
reached the Livingston place, where
tney were recognized.
Jolly Livingstone, ready to start
ior Redmond In his car, turned
around and went In search of Mr.
Montgomery. He arived at the scene
of the accident in a few moments and
took the wounded man to McCa Mis
ters' ranch, which bad the nearest
telephone.
Dr. Hosch of Redmond was called
and it was found that no bones were
broken but that the unfortunate man
was terribly bruised and stunned.
He remained unconscious for sev
eral hours and is still dazed from the
shock, but bis recovery Is quite cer
tain now, although It will bo slow,
owing to his advanced age.

bureau has sent every man it "can
spare directly to the people to aid in
an advisory capacity," said Commis
sioner Roper. ."But our men have
no time to canvass people at work
or in their homes. Every person li
able to a tax return must take the
initiative in performing the dut'es
required by the Revenue law. if he
needs information, blank forms or
advice, he should seek an Income
Tax officer. The big thing now in
Income Tax is to get fhe first pay
ment in between now and March 15
That is the due date under the law
Frankly speaking the government
needs the money to meet its obliga
tions falling due on that date. The
returns of 1918 income are due at
the same time. Either a complete
return showing the true tax or a ten
tative return of the estimated tax
