Last Saturday was the. day for
the Red Cross to pack the second
box Of yarn goods for the soldier
boys.
Several ladies from Stanton, Ma
da and Hardwick's Creek came
and spent the day with the local
chapter and helped with the work.
All went home more enthusiastic
over the work, for it certainly
makes one feel good to see the
baskets and packages of warm yarn
garments opened up as they are
brought in, and to know, too, that
we can have hand in this great
work. So we box them up and
send them on to do their part in
keeping the boys warm.
In this box were thirty five
sweaters, ninety pairs of socks,
fifteen helmets, one pair of gloves,
and some hospital supplies.
Mrs. Gentry, our Home Demon
stration Agent, was with us this
day ana gave a practical demon
stration in the making of corn meal,
graham biscuits, which were de-
lightful. 1t is hoped many of the
ladies will try these in their
homes.

NO. 81.


Next Tuesday will usher in the
new year of 1918, and it will also
bring another birthday to the
Times which makes it twenty-five
years old, and for sixteen of these
years it has not missed being print
ed single issue, which we think
speaks well for a country newspa-
per in a county the size Of Powell.
1t has taken work to get it cut each
week, and we are also very thank
ful to a higher power who has
given the writer the health for
fourteen of these years to be able
to do the work.
We wish all readers Of the Times
a most Happy and Prosperous year
in every sense that is good and
right.

State Corn Show.

A splendid premium list has been
prepared for the State Corn Show
this year, at the Agriculture Col
lege, Lexington January 20 to Feb
ruary |, and prizes have been SO
arranged in one or more classes.
Many of the prizes are of excep-
tional value, and well worth the
best efforts OF. anyone to win. For
instance, the Sweepstakes prize for
10 ears of corn is worth about $S5.
The special prize for 3 ears shelling
the largest percentage of grain is
worth -S75. In the other classes
proportionately as good premiums
are provided.
The show will be judged by Mr..
l.. b. Clore, of LaPorte, Indiana.
Mr.. Clore is known the country
over as a successful grower of show
corn. He has been a successful
competitor at a great majority of
National Corn Shows that have
been held in this country. Mr..
Clore is now Treasurer of the Fed
eral Land Bank located at Louis
vile.

Mr.. Clore will give an address be-
fore the farmers on Corn Growers

On Monday, January 7, the re-
Gently elected county officials will

ID. R. Daniel becomes County
Judge, he will be the first Demo :

things done for the betterment OF

ally in the way of building roads.
Every member of the Fiscal Court
is a pronounced good roads man.

Quiet Christmas.

Christmas passed off very quiet
ly about Clay City, most every one
enjoying the holidays in a very
quiet manner. Peace and sobriety
seemed to prevail among the peo
pie of Clay City. In fact the writ

der the influence of liquor. This
speaks we'll for our town. The
flood of liquor circulars failed to
get the orders they expected, al
least that seems to be the way of il
here. Good

In a communication received 10y
the Times, Collector of Internal
Revenue Haly announces that n
federal income tax officer will be
sent to Powell county on February
IL, 1918, and will be here until
February IL 1918. He will have
his office in Stanton, KY, and will
be there two days ready and willing
to help persons subject to the in
come tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for his
services.
How many income-tax payers
will there be in Powell county? II
you can guess how many married
persons living with wife or husband
who have net incomes of $1,000 or
over, and how many unmarried
persons who have net incomes OF
81 900 or over this year, then you
know. The Collector of Internal
Revenue estimates that there will
be 407 taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before March
/, 1918. Because a good many
people don't understand the law,
and won't know how TO make out
their returns, the Government is
sending in this expert to do it for
them. But the duty is on the tax
payer to make himself known to
the Government. If he doesn't
make return as required before
March /, he may have to pay a
penalty ranging from $40 to ST 900,
and pay a fine. So if you don't
want to take chances on incurring
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 return
if subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in
other counties may, if they want
to, come and see the income tax
man while at Stanton.
The Collector suggests that
everybody start figuring up now
his income and expenses, so as to
be ready with the figures when
the expert arrives. Expenses, how
ever, don't mean family expenses,
morey used to pay off the princi-
pal of the debt, new machinery,
buildings, or anything like that.
They mean what you spend in
making your money-interest, taxes
paid, hired help, amount paid for
goods sold, seed, stock bought for
feeding, rent Except for your
dwelling), etc. Income includes
about every dollar you get.

Late This Week.

The lines is several days late
this week, but it is unavoidable, it
seems. We were called away from
town both Friday and Saturday on
very important business matters.
As we had taken two days of
Christmas the first of the week,
and as we had no one to take our
place, the paper was compelled to
he held up until We could get back
on the job. We regret the delay
very much, but we could not help
the existing conditions which made
the paper late.
We now have an assistant in the
person of Mr.. T.. +. Harris with
whose help we hope TO be more
prompt in getting out the paper.
