IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO INCOME TAXPAYERS
Under the act of Congress approved
October 3 1913 every individual bav-
ins an annual Income in excess of
$3000 Is required to render to the
collector of internal revenue on or
before March 1 of each year a report
giving a statement of his income re
ceived from all sources during the
calendar year preceding. Failure to
file this annual return within the time
prescribed subjects the offender to
ever penalties and all individuals
having an annual Income subject to
taxation under this law should Ira
mediately notify A. S. Walker col
lector of internal revenue Austin
Texas giving their name and address
and the nature of -the business in
which they are engaged In order that
they may be supplied with form of
returns ruling and necessary Instruc
tions.
The collector has a list of "all cor
porations subject to this tax and they
will be supplied with blank forms for
report as soon as possible after De-
cember 31. The attention of corpora-
tions Is directed to the fact that the
corporation tax act of 1909 under
which they have been making annual
reports to the Internal revenue depart-
ment has been repealed and Is super-
seded by 'the income tax law. How-
ever the manner and time of rendi-
tion and payment of tax ore practical-
ly the same as under the old law.
Partnerships are not required to ren-
der returns but the members com-
posing the firm if they have an in-
come subject to tax are required to
render return and therein account for
all Income or profits arising from the
partnership.
Special attention is called to the
fact that the failure to secure income
tax blanks will not relieve the tax-
payer from the penalties Imposed for
delinquincy in filing return. The re-
port for the year 1913 may be filed
in a hurry? Perhaps you overslept. Per-
chance the alarm did not ring. You are in a
terrivle hurry-
Then is the time when you will appreciate a

SOLO AGAIN.
For ten long and blissful years they
had walked along the path of love;
but as yet the lovesick youth had
never mentioned about their getting
married. Courtship is very charming
but when there does not seem to be
altar rails at the end of it girls nat-
urally begin to lose Interest in the
game.
Anyway Jane thought it time that
he marriage day was fixed so she
hrew out a gentle hint to her lover
sy way of encouraging him. Encour-
agement she thought was all the
lear fellow wanted.
"Nathaniel" she whispered coyly
"they're saying we're going to be mar-
ried soon."
"Are they though?" answered the
stolid swain. "What a Joke It'll be
on them when they find out we ain't."
NOTHING ABSTRACTABLE.
Richard Lee Gallienne the poet
was talking about the hardships of a
poet's life.
"Poetry is popular" he said "but
there's no money in it. Have you
heard the latest about the poet Pin-
dar Oade?
"Mrs. Oade nudged ner husband in
the dead of night and whispered:
" 'Pindar wake up! There's burg-
lars in the bouse.'
"'Well what of it?" said Pindar
Oade sleepily. 'Let them And out
their mistake for themselves!'"
If men had the gift of second sight
there would be fewer cases of love at
first sight.
Speaking of making sud-
den changes did you ever
want to heat uo a room

stunt for this remarkable heater.
Five minutes in time is all that is

new fire. You put in a fresh
stick and away she goes.
That isn't all. You get a

Think what this means

prevented and doctor's
bills avoided.
Think of what it means
in comfort quickly and

T " T MISSED THE FLOOD STORY. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE
Aattina Around It.
The members of a part; around a
table in an exclusive club In a down-
town skyscraper were much amused
the other eveulug by a controversy
between their waiter and another em-
ployee of the club.
One of the party bad ordered sirup.
What the sirup was for has nothing to
do with this story. Going to the
dumb waiter the servitor shouted in
his best ordering voice:
"Sirup!"
"1 don't getcbu" came the response
down the shaft
"Sirup!." this time with two excla-
mation polnta and rising inflection.
"Come again" was the imperturbable
response.
"Sirup!" It went up the shaft Use
the blast of an explosion.
"Aw spell It" said the echo.
"S-u-r" the waiter bad his feet
planted flrmly-"s-u-r"-be bad tight

Courtship by Flower.
In remote Alpine hamlets and vil-
lages especially in the Bernese Ober-
land. there still exist ancient and pret-
ty customs of proposing marriage by
the language of flowers. If a maid
accepts a bouquet of edelweiss from a
man she at the same time accepts him
as her fiance the idea being that the
man has risked bis life to obtain the
flowers for the woman be loves. An-
other method which exists in the can-
ton of Olarus is for the young man to
place a flowerpot containing a single
rose and a note on the window sill of
the girl's room when she is absent
from home and wait perhaps days
for a reply. If the maid takes the rose
the young man boldly enters the bouse
to arrange matters with ber parents
but if the rose is allowed to fade away
the proposal Is rejected without a sin-
gle word having been exchanged be-
tween the couple. Sometimes a fickle
girl will keep a young man waiting a
day or two for an answer but what-
ever it may be It is final.
Whan Button War Big.
Bachaumont writes in his "Secret
Memoirs" Nov. 18 1780: "The mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size some of them as big as six pound
crowns but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them and this orna-
mentation is extremely costly. Some
of them represent the medals of the
twelve Caesars others antique stat-
ues and still others the Metamor-
phoses of Ovid.". Isabey In his bio-
graphical notes says that when he
came to Paris be worked for a living
by making copies of Vanloos and
Bouchers on the lids of snuffboxes
and that for these medallions ho was
paid from 0 to 8 francs each. "As it
was still the fashion" be said "to
wear buttons as big as a five franc
piece upon which cuplds flowers and
landscapes were cut in cameo I went

Inheritance baa something to do with
baldness. Men in a family usually
bave a disposition to get bald at about

cause baldness but the largest factor

of men and boys. If any other six
