JOHN H. HOOKS, Pastor All church services for the following week will be held at the regular hours. We urge your attendance at every service. Probably in all history, the world never faced a new year with greater seriousness, nor mote prayerfully. The following prayer should be in every heart as we approach the new year.

Let us pray earnestly and continually. "Pray without ceasing." thou mighty ruler of the universe, who art the king over all the earth, loving Father of mankind everywhere, endow our nation with courage and strength to triumph over all who may rise against Thee and our beloved country. "We beseech Thee, God, to bless the dependents of those who have given their lives in defense of our nation at Honolulu, on the islands of Wake, Midway, the Solomons and the Philippines, upon the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. May we ever bear In remembrance the great lesson of patriotism and honor they have taught us, "be thou faithful unto death. "Bless and succor the wounded, the sick and the afflicted.

"We ask Thee to watch over and care for those who have become prisoners of war, comfort their loved ones and help us realize our duty toward them. "Bestow, we pray Thee, Thy richest blessings upon our nation, and the President of the United States. Endow the leaders of our armed forces with wisdom and lead them to victory over the evil forces of barbarism. "Give each of us Faith, Hope and Courage to face our enemies wherever they may be, and give us strength to defeat the powers of darkness that battle us, that justice and mercy, honor and integrity shall not perish from the earth. Lord of Hosts and God of Peace, may our every effort be toward the dawn of peace, that through Thy great and Holy name eternal peace shall be established throughout the world and that all mankind may be brothers again.

"We pray Thee that the flag of the United States of America be borne on high, far above all who would destroy the principles for which it stands, Freedom, Justice and Mercy, and beneath its folds may all who love Thee gather and serve their God, their Country and their Flag. "And now we commit ourselves to Thy care during the days that lie ahead. May Thy good providence shield and protect us from all harm, look in mercy on the widows and children of our deceased comrades and, with Thine own tenderness, console and comfort those bereaved by the hand of death. "These and all other blessings we ask of Thee, Thou Mighty Ruler of the Universe. Amen." REPORTER MACON RIDGE HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUB The Macon Ridge club was entertained by Mrs.

Phillips. REPORTER BUY WAR BONDS! WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Taxpayers subject to the individual income tax law no longer will have to swear to their returns, but there is nothing in the statute as revised by the 77th con gress to prevent them from swearing at them. Congress eliminated from the old law the requirement that all returns must be sworn to before a notary or some other official qualified to administer oaths.

This does not, however, absolve the taxpayer from prose cution for perjury in cases of deliber ate deception. Here are some other provisions of the new law as explained in a "question and answer" booklet being printed for the public: Q. Were any changes made bv the bill in the regular income tax as ap plied to individuals? A. Yes; the exemptions were lowered and the rates increased. Q.

What are the new exemptions? A. Five hundred dollars for single persons, $1,200 for married persons and heads of families, and $350 for each dependent. Members of the armed forces, except commissioned officers, are allowed an additional exemption of $250 if single and $300 if married. Q. What is the amount of the normal income tax on individuals? A.

It is increased from 4 per cent to 6 per cent. Q. What changes are made in the surtax rates? A. They have been increased all along the line. The minimum rate is raised from 6 to 13 per cent and the maximum from 77 to 82 per cent.

The maximum applies to incomes in excess of $200,000, while under the old law the maximum applied to income over $5,000,000. Q. Combining the normal tax and the surtax, what will be the total rate applicable to the first dollar of tax able income in excess of the personal exemption? A. The total rate on the first dollar of taxable income will be 19 per cent, compared with ten per cent under old law. Including the five per cent victory tax, which is something else, the initial rate will be 24 per cent.

Q. Is there any change in the earn-ed-income credit? A. No; it still may be deducted in computing the normal tax, in an amount equal to 10 per cent of the earned incojie. Q. Are husbands and wives required to file a joint return? A.

No; they may continue to file separate returns. Q. Will the short form of income tax return be continued under the new law? A. Yes; where the gross income is not more than $3,000. Its use is optional with the taxpayer.

Q. Does the law provide for current collections of income tax through withholding at the source? A. No; the withholding tax was levied in connection with the victory tax. Q. How about allowances for extraordinary medical expenses? A.

Where the expenditures for medical and dental costs exceeds 5 per cent of the taxpayer's net income, he may deduct the excess amount in computing his income tax, but the deduction may not exceed $1,250 for a single person or $2,500 for a married person. Expenses which do not exceed 5 per cent of the net income may not be deducted. MOSQUITO USES SAW TO CUT YOU New York, Dec. 30. The mosquito doesn't bit you it apparently saws into you.

This disquieting speculation came out yesterday at a demonstration of a new General Electric mobile electron microscope, which can magnify an insect to gigantic proportions. Thomas D. Mulhern, associate in mosquito control of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station at New Brunswick, N. explained that a mosquito attacks with a set of six pointed "stylets" which slide forward one at a time into the flesh. When these pentrate the epidermis, he said, they form a tube through which blood is sucked as through a straw.

The outer edge of one of these points, when examined under the electron microscope, was shown to have teeth similar to those on a bread knife. Presumably, these teeth abet the penetration. Mulhern said that in all his previous microscopic studies of the mosquito he never before saw these teeth. The demonstration showed that feather-like scales which form a fringe around the mosquito's wings appear to be strengthened with fine ladder-like bracing. It was added that the "rungs" are too small to be seen through optical microscopes.

Developed by Dr. C. H. Bachman and Dr. Simon Ramo of the General Electric Electronics laboratory, the new instrument is about as big as a small refrigerator and operates on common house current.

Those available now weigh at least a ton, and require permanent installation. Eggs Removed From January Food List Shell eggs have been removed from the January blue food stamp list and fresh pears have been added, L. J. Cappleman, Regional Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Administration, announced today. Complete January list as announced by the Agricultural Marketing Administration, U.

R. BROWN, 12-19-3t. Route 1, Rayville, La. Sweet potato production for dehydration will be discussed at a meeting in the Community House in Delhi, Friday, January 8th, at 3:00 p. according to G.

D. Cain, county agent. The armed forces need dehydrated sweet potatoes of the proper variety and the Bayou Macon Ridge soils are ideal for producing the type of potatoes desired for dehydration purposes. A commercial dehydrating plant is anxious to secure contracts for a considerable acreage in Richland parish. Sweet potato production will be discussed by Dr.

Julian C. Miller of the Louisiana Experiment Station and A. C. Moreau, Assistant Horticulturist of the Extension Service. Uses and marketing of sweet potatoes will be outlined by Mr.

Lloyd Cobb of the Warriner starch factory, St. Francisville, Louisiana. All interested farmers are urged by Mr. Cain to attend this meeting. New Classification For Officers' Commissions Announced By Navy New Orleans, Dec.

31. The Navy has just announced an interesting new classification in which applications for officers commissions are now being accepted. Successful applicants, who will be known as Military Government Officers of the United States Naval Reserve, will be assigned to duty on the staffs of military and naval authorities in foreign countries. This duty will, in all probability, extend beyond the close of the war. Commander E.

D. Walbridgc, director of the Office of Naval Officer Procurement for the Eighth Naval District, outlined these major qualifi cation requirements for the new classification: "Applicants must be between the ages of 28 and 45 and have a good knowledge of specific foreign areas, including the habits, customs and languages of the people there. This knowledge may have been acquired through residence, travel or study. Those who know the Far East and South Pacific islands are especially sought, but assignments will not be limited to these specific areas. Previous training is desirable in one or more of the following fields," Commander Walbridge said "anthropology, sociology, languages, public administration, business administration, law, sanitary engineering, agriculture, or statistics.

Furthermore, applicants should have shown their aptitude for intensive study, involving reading assignments, language instructions and seminar discussion." Following an eight-weeks indoc trination course, those who qualify will receive instruction in administra tion of military government at Columbia University, New York. This instruction period will last approximately one year, during which time all training expenses will be paid by the Navy. Since all applications to be consid ered must be in Washington, D. by January 12th, Commander Walbridge urges any man who believes himself qualified to apply no later than Jan uary 6th to the New Orleans office or to the nearest branch office of Naval Officer Procurement. According to present schedule, courses for the Military Government Officers will begin early in February.

In addition to this new classifica tion, officer candidates are being sought for various other special bil lets, and the Commander pointed out once more that the President's order banning enlistments of men 18 through 37 does not affect those who wish to file applications for commissions as Naval Officers. Peanuts Yield Most Oil Measure for measure, the peanut is the heaviest yielding of the principal oil crops, says the Uunited States Department of Agriculture. For the last five years the average oil yield of the peanut crop has been at the rate of 226 pounds to the acre compared with 172 pounds for flaxseed, 167 pounds for soybeans, and 72 pounds for cot tonseed. Cottonseed, however, is ordi narily regarded as a byproduct of fiber production. Howard A.

Akers of the Farm Credit Administration points out that a factor favoring rapid expansion of the peanut as an oil crop is the fact that it is grown in the South where equipment, already avail able for extracting cottonseed oil, can be converted readily to handle pea nuts. Wltat 1au Buy With WAR BONDS Stop Spending, and Save for the future. That has been good advice since biblical days. You cannot buy tires today, but you can start saving to buy that new set of tires when they go on the market again. 1 -TV Your regular investment of ten percent or more of your earnings in War Bonds through your Payroll Savings Plan will provide the necessary funds to buy those tires later and help win the war row.

Let's "Top that Ten Percent." V. 5. Trtasury Departmtni Washington; Dec. 29. Despite the tremendous printing job yet to be done, office of price administration officials expressed confidence today the point-rationing program for canned, dried and frozen foods would get under way sometime in February.

The schedule for preparing and printing about 15 forms aggregating many million pieces of printed matter is so tight, however, a spokesman said, that it "wouldn't take much of a setback" to throw the start of rationing over into March. At the same time, he reported citizens over the country generally were taking tho sweeping new program "very patriotically." Reports reaching OPA from various sections at the close of the second shopping day since Food Administrator Claude Wickard announced the plan did not indicate any general tendency toward excessive buying for cupboard stocking purposes, the spokesman said. The date on which housewives must start consulting their ration points as well as their pocketbooks when buying canned goods has not yet been set even tentatively, but no hitches so far have developed which would place the deadline later than February. Printers' proofs already have been received on the two biggest printed items, the consumers declaration of canned goods on hand on the basis of which deductions will be made from the ration points allotted each person and an Information pamphlet explaining point rationing. The pamphlet will be issued to every appli-cent for family copies of war ration book number two.

Probably about 60,000,000 of each will be printed. The average householder will see only two other forms. One is the ration book itself, printing of of which now is near completion, and the other is the "point schedule." The latter is a card to be displayed in every store showing the point value of each canned goods item. Five other forms are needed for consumer rationing, and an additional half-dozen for the "flow back" system under which coupons will be passed by grocers to wholesalers, and by wholesalers to processera, to permit the replenishment of stocks. The five forms needed to get goods into the hands of consumers themselves are: The pamphlet of official regulations, which sets forth the rules, penalties, procedures and appeals system; the rationing guide, a pamphlet issued to local ration boards to instruct them in handling the program; the application form for industrial and institutional users of canned goods; the certificates on which industrial and institutional rations will be granted; and the instruction to registrars which will be used when the new registration takes place.

Millions of wage earners will find something missing from their pay envelopes beginning Friday the five per cent victory tax which treasury officials estimate will add $2,000,000,000 to the government's revenues next year. As a result of a treasury ruling that the tax must be withheld from every paycheck issued in 1943 regardless of when the income was earned, large numbers of wage earners receiving their first paychecks of the year early in January will find they have paid a tax on part of their 1942 income.

For those who receive paychecks this Friday, Saturday or early next week the major proportion of the taxable income will have been earned during the last week or month of 1942, depending on the pay period involved. Under the treasury ruling the victory tax must be withheld from such checks unless the money due for the 1942 services was "actually available" to the employe on or before December 31. Treasury officials indicated It would be up to individual employers to determine whether the money was "actually available" before January 1 and thus exempt from victory tax withholding. The department has taken the position, officials said, that a written notice from an employer that 1942 earnings were actually available before January 1 will be accepted and the earnings thus not subjected to the victory tax. To qualify under this interpretation, however, they said, the payroll must be computed and the paycheck dated not later than December 31.

A high ranking treasury official said that the question whether the victory tax should be applied to some 1912 earnings which might be included In a pay period ending in 1943 was "much ado about nothing" since it would balance out at the end of next year. He pointed out that a person receiving payment on January 2, for example, for two weeks' earnings for a period ending December 31, would actually be paying a victory tax on 1942 income but would have that credited to his 1943 tax when the time came for making his income and victory tax return in March, 1944. Employers are required to withhold five per cent from all wages and salaries in excess of $12 a week. All other income in excess of $624 a year Is likewise subject to the tax. From 45,000,000 to 50,000.000 persons will be affected by the tax, the government's first modern adventure in pay-as-you-go taxation.

A total return of about $3,000,000,000 is expected in 1943 but $1,000,000,000 of this will be returned to the taxpayers in post-war credits. Operation of the victory tax. treasury authorities believe, may stimulate demands already growing in congress for putting all income taxes on a pay-as-you-go basis. W. B.

Jack Midyett. Mr. McKnight, the principal speaker of the evening, is a particular friend of the members of the local Club, and always is a welcome guest. He delivered a splendid address, the first part of which was full of his characteristic witty stories, and kept his hearers in laughter, then he changed and made a talk on conditions in this country now as compared to those existing in the past, reflecting particularly on the waste and extravagance of our people which has been responsible for the almost criminal destruction of our natural resources, including our wild life. In touching upon the soil erosion which has cost this country millions in land fertility and crop production, he also referred to human erosion as just as deadly as soil erosion.

Joe Johnson, who, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson, was present on charter night of this Club and has attended every installation of officers for the past ten year3, spoke feelingly of the honor he experienced in being chosen as the installing officer. He stated that he was particularly gratified that he could be the one to install the incoming Horace Mangham, whom he had known well in Kiwanis and personally -Pver since the charter night, and paid him high compliment in his belief that the Club has acted wisely in his selection. The singing, led by Dale Cobb, of the West Monroe Club, was inspirational and added pep and spirit to the occasion. Mrs.

J. Y. Abraugh, Mrs. Charles Gay and Mrs. E.

A. Coxe favored the club with most delightful musical selections. In presenting the perfect attendance members for the past year, W. W. (Sunshine) Kelly asked Jim Aycock, Jake Joseph, J.

C. (Slick) Salmon, W. L. (Highpocket) Wilson and Doctor H. C.

Chambers to stand and he made a congratulatory talk of this fine example set for the other members of the Club. Jake Joseph has three years of perfect attendance, Jim Aycock two years and the others one year. The retiring president, Jimmie Thompson, outlined the work of the Club during the past year under his direction, and was presented the button of a past president by Past President Doctor Chambers, who called attention to the fact that the present immediate past president was the ninth to wear this button. The incoming president, Horace Mangham, spoke upon "What We Will Do," stressing the fact that the continued success of the Club would be measured by the work and interest of the individual members. He asked for the same fine cooperation which has been given to all other presidents to serve the Club.

i Mesdames H. C. Chambers, P. B. Bennett and W.

A. Cooper, wives of Kiwanians in the service, were honor guests. Paul Bennett and H. C. Cham bers, obtained furloughs and were present.

The annual installation and ladies night was one of the most largely at tended in the history of the club, de spite the fact that gasoline rationing cut down the attendance of out-oi-town guests. Four Negroes Convicted of Sedition NEW YORK, Dec. 31. Four negro members of the Ethiopian-Pacific movement, one of whom was quoted as saying he would have President Roosevelt picking cotton "after Japan wins," have been convicted of sedition and conspiracy to commit it, and may be sentenced to as many as 40 years in prison each. After deliberating four and one-half hours yesterday, a federal court jury convicted Leonard Robert Jordan, 42, described as the "Black Hitler" who founded the movement; Lester Eugene Holness, 38; James Henry Thornhill, 40; and the Rev.

Ralph Green Best, 62. The jury, three of whose members were negroes, recommended leniency for Best. Joseph Harterey, 47, white, pleaded guilty before the trial. He and the others will be sentenced January 11. Maximum sentence is 40 years.

The defendants were charged specifically with using the movement as a cover for Axis propaganda, advising negroes to refuse to fight for the United States and to impede enlistments in the armed forces. Government witnesses testified that the defendants had said at meetings that "the negroes' future lies with Japan" and that "Allied claims of victory are complete lies." BUY WAR BONDS!.
