Fl f7 ”• ( J **■ The dou ole-service '*B»* tooth paste, .' A A keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY. Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health: more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that holds the teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet thia requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; nets directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste— > . ~CRYSTAL THEATRE .

WOULD EXEMPT FOREST TRACTS Bill Designed to Stimulate Reforestration in Indiana Will be Presented TO THE LEGISLATURE Any Person May Create Forest Reservation by Making the Application Indianapolis, Dec. 20. —Forest tracts will be exempt from taxation as long as they are used tor growing timber, in a bill to be presented early in the' session of the coming legislature by ! the forestry division of the state department of conservation. The bill is designed to stimulate reforestation in Indiana and aside from offering in--1 ducement to landowners to plant their | waste and unproductive lands to for- ■ ests, remedies the present law of in-) equality insofar as forest land is taxed at the same rate as land under cul tivation. Largely because the timber) ' crop is long in maturing and returns ! ! are hardly possible in a generation. I landowners have refused to plant for- | I ests when they could cultivate and make quicker returns. The proposed , ; measure will go a long way toward pro- | j viding timber for wood-using indus- , tries of the next generation, conserva-j - tion officials believe . Roughly the bill will provide that any person may create a forest reserI vation by making application to the j state forester, who will classify his holdings either as native timber or as a forest plantation. The land would ' then be assessed at $1 .and would re- ‘ main exempt from taxation so long as the uses to which it would be put would conform to the provisions of the law. For instance, if the tractj when classified as native timber and thus exempted from taxation the owner would be forbidden to use it as a pasturage for stock. The bill will provide that the land must be appraised upon its entry as a ! state timber tract and also in case the owner decided to withdraw it from the j provisions of the conservation law.’ The appraisement would be conducted by the township assessor who would receive his usual per diem and in case of a dispute provision would be made for an appeal to the county auditor, assessor and treasurer, whose decision would be linal. If the owner withdraws the land from the provisions oi the timber law he would be required | to pay an unearned increment tax. ' For example, if a tract of timber land was appraised at $2,500 upon entry and at $3,000 when withdrawn as a forestry preserve, the owner | would pay an unearned increment tax I of SSOO minus about $125, making his j total taxes on the timber for the per-1 iod $175. It is estimated there is only about 2,000,000 acres of very mediocre timber in Indiana today. This is in broken tracts none larger than 160 acres. Owners of suitable forest lands have tound it more profitable to raise fruits and vegetables or graze the land then to plant it to forest on account of the system of taxation. In this way they gained a small yearly income while if planted to forest the returns would not be available for long periods. By exempting timber lands from taxation the owner would be able to retain his timber and to reforest tracts partially cleared, thus assuring adequate returns on the investment to succeeding generations. Indiana wood using industries capitalized at $175,000,000, employing 70,000 persons and with an annual production valued at $104,000,000 are entirely dependent upon southern timber which is rapidly being depleted. Eastern states already have laid the foundation for large tracts of forests. They are now endeavoring to determine what lands will yield the greatest profits to agriculture and what will return a greater remuneration if planted to timber. 4 Coal Situation (Continued from page one) states received less coal from Indiana mines for the week ending December 11th than they did during the week ending November 13th. The demand for stem coal has been umch less urgent than it was a month ago, but lump coal particularly the grade suitable for domestic use, is finding a ready market in some instances at much lower pricer than recently prevailed. INDIANAPOLIS WAS ROBBED OF BIG SUM Indianapolis, Dee. 20—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Yeggmen looted the book vault of the Indiana National bank of between $6,000 and $15,000 either last night or Saturday night, it became known today when the ' bank doors were opened. .

WILL ASSIST IN MAKING REPORT Revenue Officers Will Visit Every County in the State Next Month Revenue officers will visit every county in Indiana again next month to assist citizens in making out and filing their income tax returns, Collector of Internal Revenue William L Elder announced today. Extensive plans to aid taxpayers are being work ed out by the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Washington and the collec-tor’s-force in Indiana. The practice of sending officers to each county was in--1 augurated last year. Forms for filing 1920 returns of in-, come will be sent by collectors to persons who last year filed a return. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve a person from his obligation to file a return within the time’ prescribed. Copies may be obtained from offices of collectors of internal i revenue, branch offices, postoffices and banks, and are expected to be avail- • able on or before January 1. I Revenue officers assigned to the j work of assisting taxpayers also will j be supplied with forms, concerning ' which, and the various items of in- ' come to be included, they will be prepared to answer any and all questions, lit has been demonstrated, however, [that many questions may be eliminat- ■ ed if the taxpayer, before seeking the assistance of a revenue officer, will carefully study the instructions on the form. , The period for filing returns is from January 1 to March 15, 1921. The tax this year as last may be paid in full I lat the time of filing or in four ini stallments ,the first of which is due | on or before March 15. the second on or before June 15. the third on or be-j tore September 15. and the fourth on or before December 15. The first in- j i stallment must accompany the filing | of the return. Persons whose individual net income j for 1920 was $5,000 and less should I ask for Form 1040 A. Those whose I , individual net income was in excess) j of $5,000 should ask for Form 1040. Prompt Attention Asked. The Bureau of Internal Revenue is urging taxpayers not to delay in the filing of their returns. Merchants and business men are casting up their ac counts for the calendar year 1920. | With the facts and figures necessary ; I to make a correct return fresh in their | minds, the making out of a form soon i after January 1, will be an easier task, , I the bureau points out. than if delayed. The requirements of the revenue act ' relating to returns for the year 1920 are the same as those for the yeai 1 1919. Every single person whose net income for 1920 was SI,OOO or more and every married person whose net income was $2,000 or more must file a return. The exemptions are SI,OOO foi single persons and $2,000 for married persons and heads of families, plus an additional exemption of S2OO for each person deepndent upon the taxpayer for chief support/if such person is under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support. A single person may claim an exemption of $2,000 as the head of a family if he is the sole support of one or more relatives living in the same house with him, and if he exercises control over household affairs. Deductions from gross income to which the taxpayer is entitled in arriving at net income are fully ex plained in the instructions on the forms. Martial Status Controls. The bureau is emphasizing this year that the requirement to file a return rests solely upon a person’s martial status and the amount of his or hoi net income for the year 1920. Single persons whose net income was SI,OOO or more and married persons whose net income was $2,000 or more must file and return regardless of whether their incomes are non-taxable by reason of their exemptions. , For the information of taxpayers in per cent, on the first $4,000 of net income above the exemption, and 8 per cent, on the remaining net income. The surtax rate, which is computed without the benefit of the exemption, ranges for 1 per cent, on the amount of net income between $5,000 and $6,000 tc 65' per cent, on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000. For the information of taxpayers ir prepared by the Bureau of Internal Revenue a series of short articles on filing their returns, there has been the income tax laws and 1920 regulations, the first of which will appear on January 3. Errors heretofore qjadc have been noted, an dthe taxpayer is told how this year they may be avoided. ■ - , ...... .a Saloons in all the larger towns of Mexico are to be closetl from noon Saturday until 9 o’clock Sunday morning,
