TO HELP YOU FIGURE
YOUR INCOME TAX

In communication received by this
paper Collector of internal revenue,
James M. Cathcart announces that a
federal income tax officer will be
sent into this county on February 1,
and will be here until February 16,
He will have his office in the Federal
Building in Ocala and will be there
every day ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income tax
make out their returns without any
cost to them for his services.
How many income taxpayers will
there be in Marion 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 or over this year,
then you know. The collector of in.
ternal revenue estimates that there
will be 875 taxpayers in this county
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provided
for the purpose before March 1, 1918
Because a good many people don't un-
to make out their returns, the govern
ment 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
return as required before March 1,
1918, he may have to pay a penalty
ranging from $50 to $1,000, pay a
fine or go to Jail. So if you don't
want to take chances on going to jaiT,
you better call on the income tax man.
If you are not sure about being sub
ject to the tax, better ask him and
make sure. Whether you see the in
come tax man or not, you must make
return if subject to tax.
Of course, persons resident in 9th,
er counties may, if they want to,
come and see the income tax man
who will be at Ocala.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up when the ex-
pert arrives. Expenses, however,
don't mean family expenses, money
used to pay off the principal of a debt,
new machinery, buildings. or anything
like that. They mean what you spend
in making your money-interest, tax,
es paid, hired help, amount paid for
goods sold, seed, stock bought for
feeding, rent, Except for your dwell
ling,) etc. Income includes about ev-
cry dollar you get.

COMFORTABLE QUARTERS
IN THE TRAINING CAMPS

The beginning of winter finds the
work Of training going on at full
blast in a hundred camps and sta
tions.
Not far from half of the total
number of men training are encamp>
ed in the big national army canton
ments. In these the United States
has 16 new cities, each as large as
Sacramento, or New Britain, or DaV.
export or Macon.
Sixteen camps. nearly as big as the
cantonments, but not built so durably,
are housing the National Guard di-
visions.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
men have joined the regulars since
the war broke out. There are seven
teen regular army stations and camps
being used for the training of these
recruits.
Seventeen stations are engaged in
training men for the navy, and mar
ines are being turned out in three
more.
Not all the aviation fields have
been fnished-but in a dozen of them
cool-headed young men are being
taught to fight in the air.
Nine camps have just rounded off
the second increment of officers for
the reserve corps.
Five medical camps are in opera
ton, and three camps for engineers.
All of the larger camps have been
built in the last six months. The big
gest of them, the national army con.
tonments, were built in three months
at total cost of $150,000,000. Only
little over twice as much was re-
quired to build the Panama canal
and that took ten years.
Something between six hundred and
seven hundred millions of feet of
lumber went into the national army
cantonments. The figures for all the
army camps is about one billion feet.
In population the camps range
from 300 to 47.000. The men in the
flying camp may know one another
as men know one another in a small
college. One of the larger canton
ments, on the other hand, contains
more men than can be crowded into
the polo grounds or Comiskey Park.
A good average crowd for World
Series game is 10000. Such crowd
is enough to swamp a half a dozen
car lines. All the men in one of the
national army cantonments would
make a crowd half again as large.
Living conditions in the camps
may not be quite up to the top of the
high American standard. But it can
safely be said that no large army Of
soldiers was ever housed so comfor-
tably before. There will be no freez-
ing this winter. Four of the canton
ments situated farthest north have
steam heat. The rest have to put up
with hot air systems. But an Ameri-
can army spent winter at Valley
Forge once without even a hot air
system.

fuel administrator lis charged with
giving full effect to this order and
required to report any vfolators
thereof.
