"General Wood is a national figure and has been one for over twenty years. His patriotism has been expressed in constant service of the nation as administrator and soldier. It's a record which the Republican party could proudly assert and it establishes General Wood's name in American history regardless of the political events of the present year." THE whole United States of America is watching the Illinois Preference Primary, Tuesday, April 13th. And this is the reason: There is a great question before the people of this country, a question so great that it outrides any petty idea of favoritism for any favorite son and goes infinitely beyond state politics. The question is just this: Which of the two men is big enough and broad enough to be President of the United States? Which, in your honest opinion? It begins to look as if the country had made up its mind that no matter what may be thought of other candidates, Leonard Wood has done so much more and greater work for the nation, that there is no comparison between them. We must not think of Leonard Wood as a soldier only, but as the greatest administrator of this age and generation, for his record proves it beyond all controversy. Do you realize what this man has done? Do you realize for instance the mighty work he did in Cuba? Cuba was a nation with its face in the dust after two centuries of tyrannical despotism—a land of misery and destitution, prostrated by anarchy, famine and pestilence. Its streets were open sewers, its population exploited by bandits and brigands; proiteering rampant and the people helpless to resist—until Leonard Wood was sent out to them by President McKinley to bind up their wounds and make them free and safe and strong. Roosevelt was his friend; and praised his work. And now Leonard Wood stands to be judged by you on his record—by you and by all his countrymen of this and other States; whether he has made good in your eyes, or whether he hasn't. Whether he is fit and qualified by character and achievement for the Presidency of the United States. You are the judge, you and your fellow voters at the great Leonard Wood's work in Cuba will live as long as history stands. It won for him the praise of the world. He rid the land of yellow fever, buried the dead, cleaned the streets, laid sewers and built roads; stopped profiteering with an iron hand, established schools, restored industry and agriculture, gave the nation a constitution, organized its finances, paid its debts and turned its government over to the people of Cuba with a million dollars in the treasury. It required the mind and grasp of a great statesman and a great administrator to do such work as that; and it was Leonard Wood who did it. He was sent to the Philippines to establish order and restore another "lost land," and he did it. He handled Moro savages and Chinese pirates like children, and made good citizens of them. Atty. Chas. L. Rice. in the City. Atty. Chas. L. Rice, of Md. City, Master in Chaacery for Pulaski county, and attorney of no mean ability was in the city Monday on business. He paid the Gazette office a pleasant call and highly compl imented our office and outfit. Mr Rice is a staunch member of our Race, and bears the unusual distinction of being the only Master in Chancery of our people in the U. S. of A., at the present time. He has been elected and held many honorable positions of emolument and trust, and is recognized as one among the best attorneys before the bar of Southern Illinois MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY."

St. Louis, April 8. -Six thousand switchmen, engineers and firemen of the St. Louis yards were expected to strike this afternoon. They have demanded largely increased wages with an ultimatum by 3 o'clock this after noon.

Honey Long in Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid. Indian Summer. The terra "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What changes the distinctive feature of the so. son, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful.

WOOD EASY WINNER IN SOUTH DAKOTA WOOD EASY WINNER IN SOUTH DAKOTA HE LEADS FIELD IN POPULAR VOTING AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS. Chicago, April 00.—All doubts as to Wood's popularity with the voters were 180 aside when the returns from South Dakota came in and showed him an easy favorite over Lowden and Johnson. The fight in South Dakota was a bitter one. Wood entered the state against heavy odds. Lowden and Johnson had perfected their organizations weeks before and had gone over the state with a line-tooth comb. Lowden money was in evidence at every corner and cross-roads. Yet against these tremendous odds, Wood, with the power of his own personality, took the state away from his opponents and had plenty to spare. FRIEND OF PRESIDENTS Leonard Wood Made Good as White House Surgeon. Leonard Wood was ordered to Washington in 1895—the morgue of the government official—to become assistant attending surgeon. The holder of this office often shares with the navy surgeons the responsibility of medical attention to the president. In addition he acts as medient adviser to army officers and their families and is the official physician to the secretary of war. It was not an office that appealed to Captain Wood. It could not, since he was a man essentially of out-of-doors of nation and of administration. Yet he seems to have made such a success of the work that he became the personal friend of both Cleveland and McKinley. His relations with President Cleveland were of the most intimate sort, resulting from mutual respect and liking as well as from mutual understanding on the part of both men of the other's good qualities. He saw him in the White House at all hours of the day and night; saw him with his family and his children about him; noted their fondness for their father and his devotion to them. It was a quality so marked in Lincoln, so strong in most great men of the sound, calm, fearless, administrative sort. Leonard Wood himself has exhibited the same quality in his own family. And in these days the perfect understanding of the father and his children, the simple family life that went on in the splendid old house in Washington which combined the dignity of a state and the simplicity of a home unequaled by any other great ruler's house upon this earth—all tended to bring out this native quality of the president's medical adviser. NORTH DAKOTA TO WOOD State Springs Surprise in Recent Primary Contest. Chicago, April 00—North Dakota, bitherto conceded as a Johnson state, is in fact a Wood state. William Cooper Proctor, who is directing the campaign of Leonard Wood for the Republican presidential nomination, gives figures to prove his claim on North Dakota for his candidate. "Two factions of the Republican party in North Dakota held conventions," Mr. Proctor explained: "one on February 17 and the other on February 27, both selecting a ticket of ten delegates. Later these two conventions united and decided to present only one ticket to the field and ten delegates, eight of whom were Wood men and the other two noncommittal, were selected to oppose the Johnson state." In the recent primary, reports from which have just been received the Johnson state was defeated by a majority of 8,112 votes, with five counties yet to be heard from. Eight of the ten delegates named on the regular Republican state are Wood men. WOOD HARD TO DEFEAT Chicago, April '00, "If Wood gets the nomination the Democrats will have a hard time defeating him in November," declared Col. George L. Miller of Ponca City, Okla., owner of the famous "101" ranch. Miller admits he would hate to see Wood elected from a party standpoint inasmuch as he is a Democrat, and says it will be almost an impossibility to defeat Wood for the party nomination. PASTOR PRAISES WOOD Asbland, O., April 60.—The support of clergymen of the United States in the Leonard Wood campaign is asked by Rev. A. B. Robertson, pastor of the First Christian church of this city and one of the leading clergymen of the state. "I am for Wood because he is a man who does things," Doctor Robertson said. Big Percentage for Wood. Indianapolis, Ind., April 00.—Twenty-three out of every twenty-five persons are for Leonard Wood for the Republican presidential nomination, according to a poll taken at random among citizens on the streets of various Indiana cities, principally Viennese, Muncie and Indianapolis. Reports coming from other sections of the state show that this average is general. WOOD AFTER NEW ENGLAND Procter and Assistants Out to Get All of 87 Delegates at Coming Primaries. Chicago, March.—With eight votes from New Hampshire already in their grasp, Leonard Wood forces moved on New England in the hope of taking that section of the United States away from "the field." "Maine is absolutely certain," Colonel William Procter, campaign manager for Leonard Wood, says. "The New Hampshire primary also had a very favorable effect on its neighbor on the west—Vermont—and that state and Rhode Island are fairly well on the way to a solid Wood delegation. Most of the progressive following in Massachusetts that has been for Governor Coolidge is now in the Wood camp. We have a big fight to beat the reactionary field, but some of the strongest men in the state are working with our managers, and the outlook is very promising. "The influence of Boles Penrose has spread from Pennsylvania into Connecticut, but reports received from eastern headquarters indicates that the people are about ready to boll over and throw out the Penrose machine. There are S7 delegates in New England. We are going after their tooth and nail, and we are going to get most of them." MEN OF NOTE FOR WOOD Strong Letters of Indorsement From Prominent Americans From Every Section of U. S. Chicago, March.—Prominent Americans from all sections of the country are rallying to the cause of Leonard Wood, judging from the letters which are being received daily at the headquarters here. Among some of the letters received within the past few days are ones from Laurence L. Driggs, president of the American Flying Club of New York; Lebbens R. Wildey, former New York judge; Attorney Robert J. Gamble, Sloux Falls, S. D.; Gen W. M. Black, former head of the engineering department, U. S. Army, and John Stuart White, head of the After War Service organization for "Devastated Belgium and France." TAFT CABINET WITH WOOD Chicago, March—Almost the entire cabinet under former President Taft is behind the Leonard Wood for president movement, and it is reported in the east that Taft is very favorable himself to Wood. Wood supporters in the former Taft cabinet staff include Henry L. Stimson, former secretary of war; Franklin MacVengh, former treasurer; James Wilson, former secretary of agriculture; Frank H. Hitchcock, former postmaster general; George W. Wickersham, former attorney general, and George von L. Meyer, former secretary of the navy. It is also reported that Philander C. Knox, former secretary of state in the Taft regime, is very favorable to Leonard Wood. WEST SOLID FOR WOOD Chicago, March.—"The solid west is for Wood, even stronger than we have been figuring," said Fred Stanley, vice chairman of the Wood national campaign committee, before leaving on a trip which will include Iowa and Kansas in the interests of the Wood campaign. The fact that Lowden ran a poor fourth in Minnesota was not surprising to Stanley. He said he would not be surprised to see the same results in South Dakota and other states, and is confident Lowden will lose his own state. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Oregon will back Wood in his fight, and he will be second choice in Washington. Michigan, he declared, will give a big majority for Wood. WOOD LEADS IN TENNESSEE Chicago, March.—The Knox county delegation in the second district of Tennessee is solid for Wood for president. At the convention in Knoxville, the following resolution was passed: "We indorse the candidacy of Leonard Wood for the Republican nomination and instruct our delegation to the state convention to vote for delegates who are favorable to him." Hal H. Clements, Republican state chairman of Tennessee, wired Frederick A. Joss, national vice chairman of the Wood campaign, that the state is now solid for Wood. WOOD WON EVERY DELEGATE Chicago, March.—The entire delegation from New Hampshire was instructed for Leonard Wood for the Republican presidential nomination, according to the complete returns. Early reports had it that Johnson had received one delegate, but when the final figures were all in it was found that the entire delegation was for Wood. MacVEAGH FOR WOOD Chicago, March.—That Leonard Wood is first and foremost a statesman, is the Reynote of a statement made by Franklin MacVeagh of Chicago, secretary of the treasury under President Taft. MacVeagh sept his indorsement of Leonard Wood to National William MacChesney, chairman of the Leonard Wood Illinois Campaign Committee.

INCOME TAX EXEMPTS NOBODY Furnished Rooms to Rent And Light Housekeeping Board if Required Every Person Who Had Income in 1919 Must Determine Own Liability. MARCH 15 LAST FILING DATE. Surest Way Is to Follow Form 1040A. Free Advice in Doubtful Cases. Nobody is exempt from Income Tax. An obligation is laid directly on the shoulders of each citizen and resident to consider his own case and to get his return in on time if one is due. AN OPEN LETTER With each return Showing a tax due a payment must accompany the return in the full amount of the tax or at least one-quarter of the tax. TO THE COLORED PEOPLE All returns for 1019 must be filed on or before March 15. We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career- Must Show True Figures. In figuring up his earnings for income tax purposes a person must take into consideration all items of taxable income, and each item itself must be accurate in amount. Guesses and estimates must be avoided, for the return is made under oath. Everybody who had an income during 1919 must now determine whether his or her net income was sufficient in amount to require an Income Tax return. The best way to find out is to get a Form 1040A and follow the instructions printed on it. That form will serve as a reminder of every item of income; and if a return is due, it tells how to prepare and file it. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. One of the important points to keep in mind is that a person's net income is found by a computation prescribed in the law, and that each item of income from every source must be considered, unless specifically examined. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. Another thing to remember is that the personal exemption allowed taxpayers by law has no relation whatever to the requirement to file return. This exemption is not to be considered until a person has figured out his net income and determined whether it was sufficient to require him to file a return. Then, if a return must be filed, he should read carefully the instructions for claiming exemption, and complete his return. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice.

If in doubt on any point as to income or deductions, a person may secure free advice and aid from the nearest Internal Revenue office. Many banks and trust companies are also furnishing similar service during banking hours. We were in the U.

For failing to make a return on time the penalty is a fine of not more than $1,000 and an addition of 25 per cent to the tax, if any. For making a false or fraudulent return the penalty is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both; and, in addition, 50 per cent of the tax. There are other penalties for failing to pay tax when due and for understatement of the tax through negligence. Respectfully yours, MCCRARY'S UNDERTAKING CO., Metropolis, Illinois, GEORGE L. B."MCGRARY, Manager. OUR JOB OFFICE Many Sources of Income. Aside from what one may earn by his services, there are many other sources of income. If he sold any property during 1819 he must figure out the gain realized. If he rented buildings, land, apartments or rooms such rentals must be considered taxable, and he may claim deductions for necessary expenses incidental to rents. Bank interest is a common source of income and is taxable whether withdrawn or not. Any amount of interest credited to a depositor is income to the depositor. Interest on mortgages and notes is taxable; also bond interest received from corporations. A taxpayer who cashed his insurance during 1819 must report as income any excess received over the total of premiums paid. Members of partnerships or personal service corporations or beneficiaries of an estate or trust must report their shares of income distributable to them whether or not actually withdrawn. Dividends of domestic corporations must be reported. Many other forms of income are taxable, unless specifically exempted. Penalties for Delay and Failure to Make Returns—Early Compliance Urged. All income tax returns covering the year 1910 must be filed by Monday, March 15. Each taxable return must be accompanied by check or money order for the full amount or at least one-quarter of the amount of tax due. Cash payments are accepted only at the collector's main office; if sent by mail, they are at the sender's risk. Residents of Illinois should send returns and payments to Harry W. Mager, Collector of Internal Revenue, Chicago, or John L. Pickering, Collector of Internal Revenue, Springfield, RI. Those who must file returns but have not done so are warned that the revenue law imposes heavy penalties for failure to get returns in on time or to make payments on time. Letter Heads, Bill Heads. Statements, Envelopes Dodgers, Calling Cards. Early filing and early payments are urged, in order to relieve the internal revenue offices as much as possible of overload on the fling day. March 15.
