SUGAR FOR CANNING.

Housewives of Minnesota yester-
day were gicen assurance that there
would be an ample supply of sugar
on hand this summer to permit of
the usual amount of canning.
M. j. MCGOWAN, a member of the
state food administration, announced
that the present sugar famine is not
brought about by an actual sugar
shortage but by lack of railroad
transportation facilities. 1t is ex-
pected that transportation conditions
will be improved greatly before sum-
mer and the housewives will be urged
to prepare for more canning than
usual, he said.
The food administration Friday
lifted the ban on pork sales. For
some time dealers have been pro-
hibited from advertising pork prod
ucts, but because of shortage in
transportation the shipment of pork
to Europe has been lower than ex-
pected and as a result the supply at
present is heavy. Dealers are not
urged to make an effort to sell pork,
but the ban has been temporarily
lifted.

Have You Reported
Income Tax for 1917?

Every unmarried person whose net
income for the year 1912 was $1,000
or more and every married person liv-
inc with wife or husband whose net
income for that period vas $4,000 or
more must have an income tax report
Of that income in the hands of the
collector Of internal revenue or one
Of his deputies before the close of
business on March 1, 1918, or suffer
the penalties provided by law.
Every employer must send to the
collector a list of the names and adj
dresses of all employees to whom he
| paid $500 or more during the year
1917.
Everything possible has been and is
being done by the government to ad'
V~ertise this law and help those who
must pay the tax.
Income tax blanks are being mailed
out from this office to individuals, to
banks and field deputy collectors as
soon as l receive them. They are be.
ing printed and sent to me as rapidly
as possible by the commissioner OF
internal revenue.
A careful study of the reports from
my field deputies and from the banks
throughout this district show that
with the month of January gone and
only the balance of February left in
which to make a report, the number
of people in North and South Dakota
who have made inquiries in regard to
this law is surprisingly small
I know conditions in these two
states and / feel sure that unless the
banks, newspapers, farmers and EN-.
| ployers of labor take hold of this mat,
ter and urge all those that they have
reason to believe should make a re.
turn to do so, thousands of people
will suffer penalties of the law, aftel
! March first.
Payment of the tax at the time re
turn is made will be greatly appre
ciated by the government.
l most urgently request that you
do everything in your power to see
to it that your nighbors and associates
are fully advised in regard to this
law.
Respectfully,
James Coffey, Collector
