Ovcrturf, manager of the Commercial club, has just received from Mr. Strahorn. Tho railroad builder Is very anxious to have secured through tho Demi Commercial club tho remainder of the right ot way at this end of tho lino. Hecently Mr. Ovcrturf took tho matter up with tho Silver Lake and Lakeview people with tho result that 20 residents havo written him stating that the construction of tho road Is of the utmost importanco and that every effort should be made to prevent delay in getting It completed. Tho signers ot the paper suggested that F. L. Young be allowed to rep resent the Dend Commercial club In securing tho right of way from tho Junction at Horse Ridge south. Mr. Young Is Willing. Mr. Yourvg called on Mr. Ovcrturf yesterday afternoon to get his view on tho matter, stating that ho would come In early next year, and If the club gives its consent, would devoto himself to tho work.

Ho will have his office In tho court house and will bo there every day ready and willing to help porsous subject to tho Income tax make out tholr returns without any cost to them for Ills ser vices. How many Income-tax payors will there bo In this county? If you can guess how ninny married persons liv ing with wife or husband will havo not Incomes of $2000, or over nml how many unmarried persons will net Incomes of $1000, or over this year, thon you know. Tho collector ot Internal revenue estimates that there will bo 209 taxpayers In this county. Returns of income for the year 1917 must bo made on forms pro vided for tho purpose beforo March 1, 19 IS.

Whether you see tho Income tax man or not, you must make return It subject to tax. Of course, persons resident In nth or counties may, If they want to, come and see tho Income tax man, wlm wilt bo here on tho dato above 'mentioned.

And without them he Isn't at his best. That's all there is to it. It seems as though Naturo has put tho "makln's of courage," Into thoso smokes that just hit tho spot. Tho boys at tho front are fighting for domocrucy and for peace. You can do your bit nt homo by smiling them their "pipes of pearo" by sending them a Tobacco Kit packed full of "their kind" ami enough for a good llttlo while.
