That is as old as the race. The story is repeated over and over again ever since civilized man emerged from his caves, back in the dim distance of iaitiquity. It was true in ancient Israel. It has been Lit ? of all nations, ancient and modern. Eut, the 88th anniversary of the birth of Woodrow Wilson, coming in the midst of a new deluge of blocd and suffering, which he tried so earnestly to * avert, and which he saw coming with such clarity, brings the age-old picture vividly to mind. No great prophet was believed to be great, by his1 lesser sontemporaries. And it has taken the events of j ill-sequent years and centuries to bring to light their j true greatness of mind and soul. Such was the fate of i \ lison, along with the other great prophets of the j ,.;cs. In his fight which he carried to the people to in-1 '. c? the United States to enter the League of Nations, ,: thus consolidate the victory that had been won ! insure the peace that was established, Wilson, speaking at Omaha on September 8,1919, said: "I can .cwith absolute certainty that within another' < to ration there will be another world war if the na, J-is of the world do not concert to prevent it." In San i .'.vi: go, a few days later, he said: "I do not hesitate to ft.- v thc.L the war we have just been through, though \. as shot through with terror of every kind, is not to j L : compared with the war we would have to face the i time. What the Germans used were toys as com- j p;;red w.th what would be used in the next war." Wilson felt that the failure to carry out the j piCCige to establish a permanent basis ot peace would b? a betrayal of the American boys who fought the f.?;ht and won the victory, of the men whose broken l:?dies lie in Flanders and France, who were in the vjttrans' hospitals, and of the mothers who had given their sons. Great of mind, great of soul, Wilson saw his vision cf a warless world done to death by his political enei .ic:j In the United States Senate, and by the indifference of the American people, and he died of a broken hec.rt over the broken promises that had been made to the American soldiers when they went forth j to battle. Today, the proof of the truth of his prophecies is being written in blood and suffering and tears in evr ei y quarter of the globe. He led us to Kadesh-Barnea. cn ths borders of the Promised Land, and we did not h:\ve, sufficient grace and guts to go in and possess i;. A nt-w generation had to grow up. A nqw war had i o be fought. Renewed suffering had to come. A new pcace has to be won, before the opportunity of entering the Promised Land was again presented. And, even now, we think we can see the political and spiritual heirs of a "little band of wilful men'' pre paring again to put at naught the valor ot American arms the sacrifice of American lives and treasure, and lay the basis for another and greater war to follow }he present one, for the same reasons that actuated their political and spiritual fathers a quarter of a century ?go. But God forbid that it can happen again! With the pas*n\g of the years, we have come to the point to which Wilson led us in 1918. The great vision of a great soul still remains the hope for a peaceful world, and the fulfillment of prophecies of peace and plenty, when "every man shall dwell under his own vine and figtree, with none to molest or make him afraid." The splendor of the vision of Wilson will continue to grow in magnitude as the years come and go. I "OUR DEMOCl HP "?at it up-U! Ml| fix it up,-or I WILL TAKE GOOD CARE Or 7HE TH/N6S ^ /HAVE." ^ -THUS /WILL C^A'TJe What Is Income Tax? The federal income tax is, as ihe name implies, a tax levied upon incomes, and is payable in relation to the amount of income. Income, for federal income tax purposes, means in general any compensation for one's services. whether the compensation be in money or goods or other services: it includes also the net value received for the product of one's labor, as farm produce in ?he case of a farmer; income from investments; profit from business operations; and other gains from sales and exchanges of goods and property. Certain limked categories of income are, however, tax exempt, and to the extent of such exemptions are excluded in computing the tax. Because of exemptions from the tax given to persons having iess than certain stated amounts of income, as well as because of various deductions and credits allowable, only a small proportion of the number of persons receiving income have until recently been subject to the tax. Thus, of the estimated 55 mil lion persons in this country who received income in one form or another during the calendar year 1941, only some 26 million persons were required to file Federal income tax returns for that year, while of these same 26 million, more than 9 million were not taxable due to credits and deductions allowable. As a result of the lowering of exemptions, many more persons are now subject to the Federal tax income than before, and for the calendar year 1942 it is estimated that more than 35 million persons will file Federal income tax returns. To the large number of persons now subject to the Federal income tax, who have never reported income before for Federal tax purposes, an understanding of the law and applicable regulations is of prime importance. An income tax return is a declaration on the part of the 1 r? f rt f ft 1 f A 1 V* 1/ttApayCl tjl llld l/UViXl l/tlAclUiC 111come for the year, together with -'he various deductions, exemptions, and credits to which he is entitled. It is in reliance upon voluntary disclosure, and the integrity of 'taxpayers generally, that the cost of administration of the income tax can be kept at a minimum. Though the return is a voluntary statement, any person who wilfully makes a return which he does not believe to be true and correct in every material matter is subject to the penalties provided by law. The first requirement of the law is 'the filing of an appropriate return. For individuals generally, this ,must be done by March 15 following the end of the calendar year. The return must be filed with the appropriate Collector of Internal Revenue for the district in which is I located the legal residence or principal place of business of V 'HE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAI RACY ? by Mat | 'ear it out, mm doa>ii^out.';'- (f| I (VEW ENGLAND MOTTO.

Neely, offlcerin-charge of the State's Navy recruiting, said today, and consent papers are no longer necessary for any man registered with the Selective Service. A limited quota has been assigned North Carolina, Commander Neely said, and all men who prefer the Navy to other services should make immediate application. Here is the procedure the applicant should follow: 1. Visit your draft board, and secure a statement that you are classified A-l by the Selective ^Service. (Men who anticipate being reclassified should determine whether their status will be A-l. Reclassified men are also eligible..) 2. Present yourself at your nearest Navy recruiting station being sure to bring the statement which proves you are A-l. (Recruiting stations are located at Raleigh, Charlotte, Asheville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Wilmington and New Bern.) The usual Navy standards for enlistment will be observed for the January volunteers. For those men who need time to complete their business, a seven-day leave will be granted wherever possible, following which the recruits will be transferred directly 4o a' naval training station. Consent papers for men of 18, 19 and 20 are no longer needed, Commander Neely said. However 17-year-olds, since they are not registered with the Selective OnrvifiQ mnct flimisVl Writlf.Pn Ul/I aiUUV f, consent of their parents on forms which may be secured at any Navy recruiting station. Draft men accepted during January will be assigned a new classification?'VS eivice Volunteer." The term of service will be for the duration of the emergency and six months thereafter, just as with the Army inductees. Married men are eligible to volunteer for the Navy under the new program, and dependency allowances will be made just as before. Rating and promotion of men will be made after the recruit arrives at the naval training station, Commander Neely said, and each recruit will be given a classification test to determine his ability at various trades. Recruiting statins in North Carolina are open every day in 'the week except Sunday. Buy whole grain breads, flours and cereals, or enriched white flour and bread. Prepare foods at home whenever possible; they are cheaper than ready-to-serve foods, such as breads, cereals, desserts and soups Expect fewer sizes of canned goods?more bulk goods.
