The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-11-15

Elsewhere in this issue of the Grit
Advocate will be found a notice of
the city health officer in regard to
the smallpox situation in this COM
munity. 1t is true that there are a
number of cases in Julesburg and
Ovid and vicinity, but they are of
very mild nature, there being no ser
ious results whatsoever, and the au-
thorities make the statement that ev-
erything possible is being done in the
way of enforcing rigid quarantine
in the homes where cases exist. 1t
seems that great many towns in
this section are being infested with
the epidemic, which is of very light
nature. Smallpox in later years is
not considered by leading medical
authorities to be of serious nature,
not any more so than measles, chick
en-pox, and similar diseases, but is an
inconvenient disease and should be
curbed as much as possible. Any Of
our citizens knowing of any cases ex-
isting should feel it their duty to re-
port the same to the health officers,
and thus hasten the stamping out
of the epidemic However, there is
no cause for serious alarm in the
matter, and the public should not pay
too much attention to false rumors
that may be afloat.

The Grit-Advocate is adding new
subscribers right and left, which fact
is entirely encouraging to US. We are
continually striving to give Julesburg
a real newspaper, and not a "slip-
shod' affair. The support we are re-
ceiving is greatly appreciated by the
editor and manager of the Grit -Advo-
cate, and it is our honest endeavor to
be fair and impartial to all We must
have undivided support to make this
enterprise success, not only for our
selves, but for the community as we'll
for we believe that it is a well recog-
nized fact that newspaper is big
asset to any progressive town or COM
munity, if the same is conducted along
the right lines.

CHRISTMAS ON THE Way
SHOPPERS ARE BUSY.

christmas shoppers are making
thelr presence felt in the stores OF
farls, and each day witnesses an
increasing throng going from one
store to another inspecting the
wealth of toys, and presents, both
uSeful and ornamental.
Holly and Christmas bells in the
windows, displays of articles marked
Just the Right Present for Her or
For Him" and toys of every descrip-
ton evidence the fact that Christ
mas is just over the hill.
Inc stores in Paris are filled to
their utmost capacity with Christ
mas goods, and so far the merchants
are well pleased with the prospect
Tor holiday trade, although thew
naturally expect a greatly Increased
business the coming year.
This Christmas season is different
from preceding ones, in that
larger number have needed the ad-
vice to buy their presents early, and
many have already done their
Christmas shopping.
Practically every store that ex-
poets to do a Christmas trade has
decorated it's windows for the occa-
sion. In every window there are
Ideal presents. Holly, misletoe and
other trimmings of the Christmas
cheer form beautiful borders for
window displays. Children may be
seen standing in front of the win
dow displays wistfully regarding the
treasures shown there, and even the
parents can hardly resist the temp
tation to linger with them and
gloat over the wonders as they re-
call their own youth.
There has been a change in the
nature of toys displayed this year
caused by the war conditions. In
stead of dolls and other toys of like
nature which delighted the hearts
of the children few years ago
they are now clamoring for cannon,
airships. airguns, and the like, al
although there are still enough re-
quests for dolls to make their sale a
big item.
Despite the shortage of sugar
CHRISTMAS candy is in evidence ever
where. THE NEWS knows of one
home in this city where the whole of
Sunday was devoted to making
Christmas candy and buildings, etc.
With only four days remaining
before Christmas and the succeeding
holidays the children and the pupils
and the students of the schools, and
the colleges are growing restless
and are not up to the standard of
their studies. They will have a good
time from now on, the school dis
missing for the holidays on Friday
and continuing until the resump.
ton of the next term, in January.
With the prospects for snow dur
ing the holiday week, many of the
merchants are displaying allurins
goods calculated to fill the needs OF
teh young people, such as sleds
skates, etc.
Many of the families in this city
have this year done away with the
customary practice of exchanging
presents with each other and have
insead saved their money and
bought gifts for their soldier friends
in the trenches and the army can
tonmentS.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX OFFICER
TO BE HERE JAN. IA.

In a communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal
Revenue Haley announces that a
Federal Income Tax officer will be
sent into this county on January IA
and will be here until January 26
1918. He will have his office in the
court house, in Paris, and will be
there every day ready and willing
to help persons subject to the in
come tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for his SER
vices.
How many income-taX payers will
there be in Bourbon county? If you
can guess how many married persons
living with wife or husband will
have net incomes of $4,000 or over
and how many unmarried persons
will have net incomes of $1,000 OF
over this year, then you know.
The Collector of Internal Revenue
estimates that there will be 900 tax
payers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March 1
1918. Because a good many people
don't understand the. law and won't
know how to make out their re-
turns, the government is sending in
this expert to do it for them. But
the duty is on the taxpayer to make
himself known to the government
If he doesn't make returns as re-
uuired before March 1 he may have
to pay a penalty ranging from $40 to
$1,000 and pay fine. So If you
don't. want to take chances on in
curing these penalties, 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 re-
turn if subject to tax.
Of course, persons resident In
other counties may, if they want to
come and see the income tax man
who will be here.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now MS IN
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however, don
mean family expenses, money used e.
pay off the principal of debt, new
machinery, buildings, or anything
like that They mean what you
spend in making your money, inter.
est. taxes paid, hired help, amount
paid for goods sold, seed, stock
bought for feeding, rent Except fol
your dwelling), etc Income includes
about every dollar you get.
