ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF WIFE DESERTION

Frank I'). Miller, 422 S. Michigan st., was arrested Thursday night upon a charge of wife desertion. He was released upon $jC0 bond. Mr. Miller sued for a divorce .ome time ago in the St. Joseph county circuit court and since then Miller has had diiifculty in making the payments upon the aliowar.ee- ordered by the court satisfactory to his wife pending the settlement of the divorce suit, according to Clifford DuComh, attorney for the defendant.

"Fvery man who is making $2,000 a year or more will have to tile an income tax return, even though he is allowed exemptions which will exempt him from paying any tax-. Single men who are making $1,000 or more must file returns also, even though they too may have exemptions which will put them out id" tb.e tax-paying class. All exemptions, other than the .$1,000 exemption of .1 married man, must be reported, so that the authorities may verify the facts." Misunderstanding of the above requirements is blamed by John C. Hiss, deputy revenue collector, for the fact that there are stiil off of the calculated number cf income tax payers who have not yet put in their appearance at the local revenue office. "They must make the return or

they will be subject to heavy penal-u;iV

ties," lie said Thursday. "It is ui;nave

to the individual to come to Lncle Sam, and not for the government to seek out the individual."

Mr. Hiss will be in the city for a few days, to assist those who may encounter trouble in tilling out their returns, and he advises that us many as possible come to the revenue of ice in the postoffice building within the next day or two, that their questions may be answered before lie leaves.
