| This Kind of Pa-.: . Close out everything. triotism Counts We received a private letter this week from J. Loyal Adkison, the Popular and well known citizen atid U. S. Commissioner at White- bird.

However, I don’t antici- pate that there will be much of his hide left if he collldes with a shell from the gun I expect to help man. I put in an applica- tion. for. training for officers’ ar- tillery work. I preferred the in- fantry, but I am “long” on math- ematics, and the captain said they needed me in the artillery— so I told him to put me where I was heeded most. Thave a wife and four kiddies, and of course it makes it hard for me to leave, but when the call comes that there is crying need for men of my age, experience and mathematical training, I feel it my duty to go and do what I can to help rid the world of the frightful scourge that confronts us. About Sept, Ist I expect to have a public sale of my property and Before leaving, I hope to beable to make a trip over thereand “holler hello” at my Cottonwood friends. 2 eR ORAS LBS, Men Must Pay Head Tax A dispatch yesterday from Washington says: Proprietors of all businesses and professions, with only a few excep- tions, will have to pay an annual federal licence of $10, and heads of wholesale concerns doing a yearly business of $2000 or more will be required to pay an annual fee of $25, according toa schedule issued today in the draft‘of the revenue bill by the house ways and means committee.
