FEDERAL TAX MAN Will be in Decatur from i January 2 to 19 at Postoffice Building. HE WILL ASSIST YOU In Making Out Income Tax Report—Over 700 Must Pay in the County. Indianapolis, Ind.. Dec. 20- In a communication received by this paper, Collector of International Revenue Peter J. Kruyer announces that a federal Income tax officer will be sent into this county on January 2, 1018, and will be hero until January 19, 1918.1 He will have his office in the postoffice] building in Decatur and will be there 1 every day and willing to help persons ( subject to the incamo tax, make out their returns without any cost to them for his services. How many income-tax payers will there bo in Adams county? if you can ] guess how many married |>ersons liv-, ing wilh wife or husband will have n >t incomes of $2,000 or over and how many unmarried persons will have not incomes of SI,OOO or over this yeai-j then you know. The Collector of In-, ternal Revenue estimates that there, will be 728 tax payers in this county. Returns of income for the year 1917 must, be made on forms provided for the purpose before March 1. 1918. Be- 1 cause a good many people don't under-1 stand the law and won’t know how to make out their returns, the government is sending in this officer to do it for them. But the duty is on the tax , payer to make himself known to the! government, if he doesn’t make re-] turn as required before March 1 he may have to pay a penalty ranging from S2O to SIOOO. pay a fine or go to jail. So if you don’t want to take chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. If you are not sure about being subject to the tax, better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make return if subject to tax. Os course persons resident, in other counties may, if they want to. come and see the income tax man who will be at Decatur, Ind. The collector suggests that every- , body start figuring up now his income . and expenses so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don’t mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery, buildings or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money—interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought, for feeding, rent (except for your dwelling.) etc. Income includes about every dollar you get. - n—— DEAR PICTURE PEOPLE I'm writing to invite you to come and see me in “Pants.” I'm just a little girl and sometimes 1 get tire.l of being good and playing with dollies and want to go swimming and play with the boys. 1 didn’t have any mints so I took 'em. 1 had such fun but not so much when I got home, lots of things happened which I can’t tell you all about now.
