Nehawka precinct has subscribed its full quota of Liberty Bonds. At no time was there any doubt about not Vaising the quota here.

Every means will oe taKen auring mat weeK to in spire and stimulate the public to give generously to this great need. It is as much a matter of patriotism as the support of our army and navy. Again, we wish to say there is no question about what Nehawka . pre cinct will do. It will take its full share we have no fears.

A district revenue collector has recently given some information cf interest regarding the tax to be lev ied on dances of various character held in town or in the country. It is pretty generally understood that where dances are given in halls, by clubs whose intent is to make money to be divided among individual mem bers or used for some unbenevolent purpose or by individuals a tax is required by the government of ten per cent of the price of each ticket sold. It is well known that 50 cent tickets cost 55 cents and 75 cent ones cost S3 cents. But there is another feature which people prob ably do not understand, and that is the matter of the country or home dances. Where people hold a social dance and do not have a specified charge, but just apportion the ex pense among those present, no war tax is required. But should there be a specified charge, regardless of whether the person gives the dance makes any money or goes in the "hole" the war tax is due and should be paid. The hall or home of the person where such dances are held is responsible for payment of the tax, so it behooves owners of dance halls to be sure that this tax is go ing to be paid, when they lease their property to be used for such pur pose. In the case of dances given by lodges, however, who have for their sole purpose the rasing of mon ey to help meet the expenses of the benevolent or protective work of the organization no tax is collectible, as the government makes exception for them as well as all dances given, the proceeds of which go direct to some charitable institution, as in the case of the Red Cross. In all cases, how ever, where tax is due, it is to be paid on each and every ticket ten per cent of the cost of the ticket and not on the gross amount rea lized from the enterprise.
