Pay Your Last Installment Promptly.
The officers of the United War
Work campaign in Centre county de-
sire to call attention to the fact that
Saturday, March 1st, 1919, is the date
on which the last installment on de-
ferred pledge cards is due. Collectors
throughout the county are urged to
make their collections and remit the
same to the county treasurer at an
early date, in order that he may make |
final remittance to the state treas-
urer.
Several of the organizations incor-
porated in this campaign are not yet
out of debt, as vast sums of money
had to be borrowed to carry on the
magnificent work done by these insti-
tutions, which, by the way, did not
cease their labors with the sign-
ing of the armistice, but still continue
their work, looking after the welfare
and entertainment of “Our Boys in
Khaki.” It is our duty therefore to
support these organizations by mak-
ing our subscriptions complete.
Centre County’s subscription
amounted to over $58,000.00, about
$12,000.00 of which is still outstand-
ing. Subscribers, help us make old
Centre a banner county with one hun-
dred per cent. full paid subscriptions.
A complete statement of the treas-
urer’s account will be published in the
near future, and we trust we will. be
able to report Centre county’s sub-
scription fully raised.

Residents of Worth township
are considerably annoyed because of
a lot of petty thieving which is going
on in different parts of the township.
Last week the thief or thieves visited
three farm houses in one night but
at each place were frightened away
before they succeeded in getting any-
thing. The general impression is
that these nightly depredations are
being carried on by seme one who has
a pretty good knowledge of local con-
ditions.
——After July first no beverage
can be legally sold which contains
more than one-half per cent. of alco-
hol. Small chance there will be then
to get a “bun” on. And this recalls
the fact that only last Saturday

on a man made him promise not to
take a drink for one year lest he be-
come intoxicated.

Prothonotary David R. Fore-

War Revenue Bill Signed by Presi-
dent.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Announce-
ment was made on the arrival of the
presidential party in Washington to-
day that the President had signed the
six billion dollar war revenue bill.
The bill was signed aboard the special
train last night before the President
retired. This measure carries a rider
making the District of Columbia bone
ry.
Higher taxes provided in the new
bill go into effect today on liquor and
soft drinks, including near-beer,
grape-juice, soda water and mineral
waters and on tobacco and on so-call-
ed luxuries. Anticipating the impo-
sition of new taxes, thousands of gal-
lons of whiskey had been withdrawn
from government bonded warehouses
within the last week, with tax paid at
the old rate of $3.20 a gallon, to es-
cape the higher rate of $6.40 a gallon,
now effective.
Articles in the “luxury” class on
which new taxes go into effect today
include automobiles and motor acces-
sories, pianos, sporting goods, chew-
ing gum, cameras, candy, firearms,
slot machines, toilet soaps, and art
goods. The tax is paid by the manu-
facturer.
Other features of the tax bill which
go into legal effect today, but which
are retroactive, and which consequent-
ly are not practically effected by the
time of the signing of the bill, include
the following: Taxes on incomes, ex-
cess profits and war profits; estates
and inheritances, and excess taxes on
a number of special businesses, such
as brokers, bowling alleys, insurance
companies, theatre and amusement
place proprietors, and liquor dealers.
Drastic measures to prevent the nar-
cotic drug traffic become effective at
once.
On April 1, new taxes on railroad
and steamship tickets, pipe lines, in-
dues, and a variety of stamp taxes be-
come effective. Levies against the ex-
cess of value of so-called semi-lux-
uries, such as articles of dress, will be
made after May 1. The soda foun-
tain tax becomes effective May 1.
Taxes on products of child labor will
be imposed in sixty days.
Without awaiting signature of the
bill by the President the internal rev-
enue bureau has gone ahead preparing
to administer the law. Tax return
forms and regulations are being is-
sued, and income and profits tax re-
turns must be filed by March 15.

Fordson Tractor
The Crowning Achievement of Henry Ford
Coming from the Ford Company the quality of this great Tractor can be taken
for granted. The purposes it serves on the modern farm are so varied that it would
take columns to explain them. It will do anything that a string of horses will do—
do it better, quicker, and at much less cost. Plowing, harrowing, drilling, haul-
ing are among the many attractive functions of the Fordson. Then you must add
the countless uses to which it is converted on the farm as a stationary power plant.
No modern farm will be without one ; other farms can become modern profit-pro-
ducers by buying one.
The Fordson “Tractor has a belt power of 24 H.P., and on the Draw Bar 12 H. P.
~The cost is much lower than you would expect, and the upkeep is proven sur-
prisingly low.
You, Mr. Farmer, owe it to yourself to investigate the Fordson Tractor. Noth-
ing can satisfy you like seeing it do the work. Our representative will call any-
where to show you. Write.
A six-months’ subscription to the ‘‘Fordson Farmer,” a monthly magazine,
will be sent free upon request.
