FOOLS HEN BY ELECTRIC LIGHT

A writer in Farm and Fireside tells
of seventeen year old boy who is
making good profits from hens. The
youth says. in explaining how he
makes his hens work overtime:
Every afternoon at 4:3O, when
Biddy began to chant The Shades of
Night are Falling Fast and prepared
to turn in, put one over on her by
lighting couple Of those daylight
style of gasoline lanterns. The scheme
worked like charm. The hens stay

turned out the lights. At $50 a. m.

E0vERNMENT 10 AELP
In Fighting Out Income Tax---Iieturns
" Income For 1917 Must De Made
Between January and
March !, 1918.

Lexington, KY, December IA, 1917.
You won't have to figure out your own
Income tax all by yourself hereafter.
The government is going to send out
mon TO help you. II will BIO up to you
to hunt up these men, who will be
sent into every county seat town, and
some other towns besides, TO meet the
people. Postmasters, bankers and
newspapers will be able to tell you
when the governments income tax
man will be around, and where to find
him. He will answer your questions,
swear you to the return, take your
money, and remove the wrinklts from
your brow. Returns Of income for
1917 must be made between January
! and March 1, 1918.
"The Government recognizes, Col
lector OF Internal Revenue Haly said
today, that many persons experience
a good deal of difficulty In filling out
income tax forms. 1t recognizes too,
that taxpayers resident at points
where collectors offices are not easily
accessible find 1t hard to get proper
instruction in the law. Next year,
when every married person living
with wife or husband and having
net income of $4,000, and every I'M
married person not the head of a
family and having a net income of ST.
900 for the year 1917 must make re-
turn of income on the form prescrib-
ed, there will be hundreds in every
community seeking light on the law,
and help in executing their returns.
My own and every other collection
district in the nation will be divided
into districts, with the county as the
unit, and a government officer inform
ed in the income tax assigned to each
district He will spend hardly less
than a week in each county and in
some counties a longer time, very
likely in the courthouse at the coup-
ty-seat town. In cities where there
are collectors branch offices, he will
be there, and in other cities possibly
at the city hall. My Office will in due
time advise postmasters and bankers
and send out notices to the newspa-
pers stating when the officer will be
in eac hcounty. 1t will be unneces-
gary for prospective taxpayers to ask
my office for forms on which to make
returns. The officer who visits their
county will have them.
ut may be stated as matter of
general information that net income
is the remainder after substracting
expenses from gross income. Per-
sonal, family, or living expense is not
expense in the meaning of the law,
the exemption being allowed to cover
such expenses.

CRYING FOX HELP

The kidneys often cry for help.
