RICHMOND NET SQUAD OPENS SEASON FRIDAY; MEMBERS LACK SIZE Four more practices face the high school basketball squad before their opening game of the season with Knightstown on the Coliseum floor Friday night Lots of work must be done during these workouts in order to get the team in shape for the contest. Coach Null has a squad of thirty men reporting to him for daily drill at the high school or Coliseum. Several of the men have had experience but are very much lacking in size. Loehr and Harklns are the only men who will take the floor who are familiar to local net followers, the remainder of the squad will be new youngsters. Harklns, Brehm, Green and Rost will probably be among those starting the opening game. Narkins probably will hold down one of the forward jobs and he Is a consistent scorer. Loehr is being groomed for the center position. He has had more experience than most of the men on the squad and covers the floor in good shape. Sam Green, the big foctball tackle, has been shifted from center to back guard, where he shows up well. He stands a good chance of hooking up for this job as a regular. Expect Hard Season. Some of the best net teams in the state are being brought here by the local authorities. In order to hold their own against such teams as Wingate and Wabash it will be necessary for the locals to put in the hardest season of practice ever gone through by a Richmond team. The first game with Knightstown will be no cinch as was at first predicted. The fact of the matter is that he visitors look like a fairly strong aggregation. They defeated Wilkinson R2 to 3 last Saturday night, which would seem to indicate a fair squad. Practice Monday evening will be held at the high school building. Tuesday the squad will work on the Coliseum floor. ENLARGE I. C. A. L. SAY OFFICIALS AT SATURDAY MEETING At the meeting of the I. C. A. L, heads Saturday at Indianapolis it was j decided to continue to enlarge xne league, rather than disband it as had been rumored prior to the meeting. "Pat" Page of Butler will probably be the next president of the league as the presidency was alloted to Butler. B. E. Boyle of State Normal was reelected secretary. A revised constitution similar in some respect to that used in the Big Ten was adopted by the league. Schedules will be completed and officials selected at a meeting of the organization instaed of by individual communication as was formerly the rule. Track Meet at Butler. It was decided that the I. C. A. L. track meet this year would be held at Butler. There is some possibility that other secondary colleges of Indiana will be invited to participate. In this way it is thought that more interest will be created in the event. Coach Mowe, who represented Earlham at the meeting said interest in the league seemed to be reviving that the new rules adopted would probably lead to a better organization. The I. C. A. L. now consists of five colleges. Butler, Franklin, Earlham, State Normal and Rose Poly. Purdue May Play Here. Coach Mowe said Monday that negotiations were under way to include a basketball game with Purdue in Earlham's schedule. The date of the game is undecided pending word from Purdue. Local interest in a game with Furdue would be strong because George Eversman, former R. H. S. player is included in this year's varsity. Eversman was on last year's freshman team. ROSE POLY SCHEDULE YET TO BE ARRANGED (By Associated Press) TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Dec 12. While the candidates for the Rose Poly varsity basketball team are commencing their second week of preparation for the coming season, Professor Carl Wischmeyer. director pro tem of athletics at the Polytechnic Institute is entering upon the difficult task of the formulation of a collegiate schedule . The sudden resignation of former coach R. W. Gilbert left the engineers stranded without an instructor or a schedule. Carl Wischmeyer, professor of mechanical engineering, will for the time being fill in as coach and also endeavor to arrange at this late date a creditable schedule with the colleges of the middle states. Only games with the Indiana State Normal school of Torre Haute are definite but Professor Wischmeyer expressed hops that the rival college managements appreciate the extraordinary condition that has developed at Rose within the last few weeks will make room for the ensineers upon their schedules. The rose and white quintet promises to be one of the strongest in history with a nucleus of seven letter and several reserve men about which to mould a combination. In spite of tho handicap they will start under the c ngineers are confident of a good showing in the games during 1920 and 1D?1. Army Recruiting Office Enrolls 21 in November Sixty children of the Wernle Orphans' home had a happy afternoon Saturday, when Manager Bell of the Washington theatre treated them to the matinee performance of "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." He also distributed candy and chewinggum among the little visitors.

I also wish to express our sincerest thanks to the people of this country tor the generous assistance and humanitarian actions extended by them to our forty million suffering people who are crying for food and clothing. The American people have already generously responded to the cry of China for her various kinds of need by having sent to us thousands of missionaries, doctors, and teachers, end millions of dollars to help us build the Christian churches, Christian schols, and the Christian hospitals. Now again, you answer our call for the needs of one of our most terrible famines by helping us to .save millions of lives of our starving people who are mostly innocent farmers and laborers.

Bureau of Internal Revenue Will Help Income Taxpayers

Extensive plans for aiding taxpayers in filing their income tax returns for the year 1920 are being made by the bureau of internal revenue. Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to assist in making out the forms. The date of their arrival and the location of their offices will be announced through the press, or may be obtained on inquiry at offices of collectors of internal revenue and branch offices. The services of government experts heretofore offered to city residents will be continued. Forms for filing 1920 returns of income 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 revenue, branch offices, post offices and banks, and are expected to be available on or before January 1st Will Answer Questions. Revenue officers assigned to the work of assisting taxpayers also will be supplied with forms, concerning which, and the various items of income to be included, they will be rrepared to answer any and all questions. It has been demonstrated, however, that many questions may be eliminated 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 at the time of filing the return or in four installments, the first of which is due on or before March 15, the second on or before June 15, the third and

on or before September 13 and the fourth on or before December 15. The first installment must accompany the filing of the return. ' Kinds of Form. Persons whose individual net income for 1920 was $5,000 and less should ask for Form 1040 A. Those whose individual net income was in excess of $5,000 should ask for Form 1040. 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 accounts for the calendar year 1920. With the facts and figures necessary to make a correct return fresh in their minds, the making out of a form Eoon after January 1 will be an easier

task, the bureau points out, than if neiayea. The requirements of the revenue act relating to returns for the year 1920 are the same as those for the year 1919. Every single person whose net income for 1920 was $1,000 or more and every married person whose net income was $2,000 or more must file a return. The exemptions are $1,000 for single persons and $2,000 for married persons and heads of families, plus an additional exemption of $200 for each person dependent vrpon the taxpayer for chief support if such persos is under eighteen years of age or incapable of self support. Exemptions Explained. 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 ar

riving at net Income are fully explained in the instructions on the forms. The bureau is emphasizing this year that the requirement to file a return rests solely upon a person's marital status and the amount of Mr or her net income for the year 1920. Single persons whose net income was $1,000 or more and married persons whose net income was $2,000 or more file a return regardless of whether their incomes are non-taxable by reason of their exemptions. The normal tax rate for 1920 is 4 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 from 1 per cent on the amount

j of net income between $5,000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000.
