All Statements Are Due Then and

Here's Queer Wrinkle.
BY the first OF March, Keokuk bust

country must have prepared the state
ment Of their incomes, for the in.

most men, this is big job. Where the

sent out by the government.
And the business man had better do
the work OF making out his statement

may be pretty certain that an expert
from the government will come around
to see his books. 1t is believed that

There IS one rule that seems rather
