OUR XMAS WEEK PROGRAM
CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG
Thursday, Dec. 27th.
You won’t have to figure out
your own income tax all by
yourself hereafter. The Gov-
ernment is going to send out
men to help you. It will be up
to you to hunt up these men,
who will be sent into every
county seat town, and some
other towns besides, to meet
the people. Postmasters, bank-
ers and newspapers will be
able to tell you when the gov-
ernment’s income tax man will
be around, and where to find
him. He will answer your
questions, swear you to the re-
turn, take your money, and re-
move the wrinkles from your
brow. Returns of income for
1917 must be made between
January 1 and March 1, 1918.

formed in the income tax as-|
signed to each district. He will
spend hardly less than a week!
in each county, and in some!
counties a longer time, very]
likely in the courthouse at the!
countyseat town. In cities!
where there are collectors’|
branch offices, he will be there
and in other cities possibly at!
| the city hall. My office will
in due time advise postmasters
and bankers and send out no-
tices to the newspapers stat-
ing when the officer will be in
each county. It will be un-
necessary for prospective tax-
payers to ask my office for
forms on which to make re-
turns. The officer who vigits
their county will have them.

CENTER CHURCH NOTICE
Mrs. Christian Haer is on|To the
Stockholders of the!
“The new exemptions of
$1,000 and $2,000 will add!
tens of thousands toe the num-
ber of income taxpayers in
this district, inasmuch as prac-
tically every farmer, merchant,
tradesman, professional man
and salary worker and a great,
many wage workers will be re-|
quired to make return and pay
tax.
“The law makes it the duty
of the taxpayer to ¢eek out
the collector. Many people
assume that if an income tax
form is not sent, or a govern-
ment officer does not call, they
are relieved from making re-
port. This is decidedly in
error. It is the other way
rounid- The taxpayer haz tu
go to the government and if
he doesn’t within the time pre-
scribed, he is a violator of the
law, and’ the government will
go to him with its penalties.”

Until you have seen and heard the Columbia
Grafonola you are not likely to have a complete
conviction that you are buying the right instru-
ment for your home. From the lowest-priced
Grafonola at $18 to the handsome cabinet instru-
ment at $250, Columbia instruments invite and
welcome comparison.
