 in communication received bv this paper, Collector of Internal Revenue, Jack Walker, announces fhat q fcdeT- al income tax officer will be sent to this county on January ', and will be here until January 12. He will have his office in the Court House building in Berryville, and will be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the incom tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services.
 How many income tax payers will there be in Carroll county? If you can guess how many married persons living with wife or husband will have net incomes of S2, GOO or over and how many unmarried persons will have net incomes of $1 1000 or over this year, then you know The Collector of h. ternal Revenue estimates that there will be 560 taxpayers in this county.
 Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided for the purpose before March ], 1918 Be cause good many people don't under stand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the Govern ment 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 re- turn as required before March 1, he may have to pay q penalty ranging from $20 to $l,000, pay 2 fire CT go to Jail. So if you don't want to take chances on going to jail. you'd better call on the income tax man. If you are not sure about berng subject to the tax, better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make your return if sub ject to taX.
 Of course, persons resident in other counties may, II they want to, come and see the income tax man who will be at Berryville.
 The Collector suggests that every body start figuring up his income and expenses now so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery, buildings, or any thing like that. They mean what you spend in making your money-nterest, taxes paid, hired help. amount paid for goods etc. Income includes about every dollar you get.
