BUSINESS PEOPLE SHOULD
REPORT SALES EVEN THO
THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM
TAX SAYS LEON D. METZGER
“Play safe and mail your emer-
gency relief sales tax report to the
Department of Revenue even tho’
\ every sale made during the six
months’ tax period comes under the
exemptions provided by law.”
This advice was given business
\ people today, by Secretary Leon D.
Metzger.
“It is advisable for merchants
who have no taxable sales to report
to mark the return form according-
ly and send it to the Department,”
the Secretary continued. “If this is
not done the Department will not |
know its sales have been made!
which are taxable. |
The law gives the Department |
the right to estimate and assess a |
tax against any one who neglects!
or refuses to make a return and
pay the tax on or before April 1.
Merchants not filing a return by
themselves open to this assessment.
If the form is marked indicating
all sales as exempt and returned to
the Department, no tax will be es- |
timated or assessed without an in-
vestigation first being made. |
Intentional refusal or neglect to
make a return to the Department is |
a misdemeanor under the law. The]
penalty on conviction is a fine of |
not less than $100 or more than |
$500 and costs, or imprisonment for |
not more than six months, or both. |

Racketoors At
Spelling Bees
TEACHERS CREATING SPECIAL
CLASSES TO ELIMINATE
THOSE WHO INVARIABLY
WALK OFF WITH THE BEST
TROPHIES
During the late Winter months
there were an innumerable number
of spelling bees thruout this sec-
tion and, as usual, those in charge
were confronted by a perplexing
problem, in just how to prevent
“racketeering” by crack “profes-
sional” spellers.
The prevalence of these “extra-
good spellers” always was a nuis-
ance in the years of prosperity and
annoyed usual school spellers who
came for a good time and a fair
chance at the prizes. The visiting
spellers often went home with the
awards.
But now that the depression is on
the so-called professionals are mak-
ing an even cleaner sweep of eit.
They invariably get the leather-
bound edition of Conan Doyle,
four fancy ash trays, the silver pa-
per knife, or the cash awards.
The New Danville Fire Company
led the way in curbing these experts
by making a fourth class and put-
ting them it. This leaves the chil-
dren’s class, the adult mnon--pro-
fessional class, and the general in-
formation. Various one-room schools
which hold numerous bees this time
of the year, followed suit.
The determination of who is a
professional is the hardest task, but
persons whose vocation is literary,
such as teachers and stenographers,
are put into it. There are also a
number of country rustics who have
an unusual amount of ability in the
line, and these, when identified as
having won other prizes recently,
are placed in it.

FIFTH ANNUAL FLOWER
SHOW ON JUNE 9 AND 10

Plans for holding the fifth annual
flower show were made by the horti-
cultural committee of the Society of
Farm Women No. 8, which met for that
purpose recently at the home of the
committee chairman, Mabel Heisey,
near Rheems.
It was decided to hold the floral ex-
hibition in the Old Stone Mill at Lo-
cust Grove, near Bainbridge, and the
show will be held on June 9 and 10.
The committee is planning the addi-
tion of more floor space than in former
years in order to accommodate a new
feature—a quilt exhibit. The rug dis-
play which created so much interest
last year also will be continued at the
coming show, it was decided.
The flower show is sponsored annual-
ly by members of the Society of Farm
Women No. 8, of which Miss Anna Kel-
ler, Elizabethtown, is chairman.
