Tax Returns
1t will require small army Of men
to take the income tax returns of per-
sons subject to the new law

| 1t will require small army Of mer
to take the income tax returns OF per
sons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue Iredell
has announced that seventeen officers
have started from his headquarters,
every one of whom will be on the job
in the county assigned him, to meet
the people and help them make out
their income tax returns. The officers
assigned to this county will be located
, in the following towns between the
dates shown and can be found in the
buildings named below.
1t will De we'll for every unmarried
person whose net income for 1917 is
81, 900 or over, and every married per-
son living with wife or husband whose
net income for 1917 was 50, 900 or over,
to call on the income tax man and
learn whether or not they have any
tax to pay, collector Iredell said, 1.-THE
person subject to tax who doesn't make
return in the time prescribed is going
to regret it. The Government will get
after all income tax slackers.
There's hardly business man, mer-
chant or professional man who won't
have to make return of income. Farm
ers, as class, will have to pay the tax.
The safe thing to do is for every per
son who had total income of 81 900
or $1,000, as the case may be, and who
is not sure about what deductions the
law allows him, to play it safe by cali
ing on the income tax man.
The man in the field will have forms
for everybody and persons who expect
to call on him need not trouble them
selves to write for forms.
An income tax man has been sent
into this county and will remain until
February Dist, and can be found at the
places shown below on the dates stated:
January End to January 31st, Burling-
ton, Post Office Building. February

Company B Inspected

Company B, second battalion, New
JERSEY State militia, stationed at
Mount Holly, was inspected last night
by Lieut.. Col. r. L. Patterson, and
made creditable showing. Major H.
p. Moorhead, commander of the second
battalion, and the battalion adjutant,
Lieut.. Charles H. Weelans, also were
present. At the conclusion of the ins
spection, the visiting officers compli
mented the company upon the eff
cheney it has attained during it's brief
istence and upon the high personnel of
the organization.
After business at the armory had
been concluded, the visiting officers,
county officials, newspaper men and
some others were rendered banquet
at the Elks' Home by the officers and
privates of the company who are mem
bers of the Elks' Lodge.
In his after dinner speech Col. Pat
terson called attention to the necessity
for state armory in Mount Holly.
The present drill hall in the Arcade
building is inadequate in size and in
other respects for the proper training
OF a military company. A few years
ago an appropriation was made by the
legislature to build an armory here,
and the board of freeholders donated a
lot of ground on Grant street for this
purpose. The outbreak of the present
world war, however, put stop to the
erection of such buildings, and the
money was diverted to other channels
Col. Patterson said he hoped another
would soon be mades
The militia, he said, is an important
organization, as it is depended upon to
take care of any riots or uprisings that
may occur within the state, the serious
ness of which no man can foretell.
Other excellent speeches were made
by number of those present.
Capt. Winfield S. Gale, the COM
handing officer of Company b. acted
as toastmaster, and filled that position
in an excellent manner.
The two other commissioned officers
of the company are First Lieut.. Mica
iah E. Matlack and Second Lieut.. John
ID. johnson, Jr.

Formal Opening of Soldiers
Club House PnSfnnned

1t had been decided to have the for
NAL opening of the soldiers clue house,
Mount Holly, next Saturday afternoon
and evening, with appropriate exer-
cises, but the quarantine of the soldiers
at Camp Dix, to prevent spread OF
measles, has caused the postponement
of the affair. 1t is expected that the
quarantine will last about three weeks,
after which new date will be fixed for
the opening ceremonies.
The club house is prominently To-
Gated at the corner of Washington and
White streets; is large and commodious,
and has been furnished almost COM
pletely. 1t is quite an acquisition to
the town during war time, as it will be
a great convenience and furnish much
pleasure to visiting soldiers.
The house has been open for several
weeks and has had quite number of
soldier visitors during that time. Some
of them have taken advantage of the
over night, week-ends, and a number
have been furnished with meals. All
accommodations are supplied at cost.
Now that the holiday season is over
and Camp Dix has settled down to
routine work it is anticipated that
there will be many soldier visitors to
the town, particularly on Wednesdays,
Saturdays and Sundays.
3The management of the club house
is vested in committee of patriotic
women of the town. Mrs. Richard P.
Holeman is chairman of the general
committee. The matron in charge is
Mrs. Gottleib Everline.
All the committees in charge of the
towns activities for soldiers entertain
ment act in conjunction with P. o.
Osterhus, representative OF the War
commission on recrea-
tional work outside of environments.

~ economy said

- ~ - - - - -
thoughtfully the other
day. Seems to me I've
heard that word be-
fore"
The word and the
idea of economy are so
prominent to d y in
public print and in
private conversation
and, let's hope, in uni
versal practice as well
as universal preaching
that it may be re-
garded as what our
French Allies neatly cali
the "arriere pensee"-
"the thought"
or the mental back
ground - of all of the
rest of our thinking
thought Of America
than of the moon falling
into the ocean.
1t has always been
the behind-thought of
the Down Stairs Store.
This greatest innova-
ton in the mercantile
world is now launched
upon its third success
full year of existence.
When it was opened,
there was no more
thought of A m eric a
entering into a war
than of the moon falling
into the ocean.
The only idea was
that of providing a
place where people of
m o d e r a t e means,
hitherto obliged to re-
ceive inferior goods be-
cause they paid lower
prices, could purchase
trustworthy goods at at
least the same prices as
they paid elsewhere.
And also a place
where fastidious people
who would rather go
without than purchase
trash" were introduced
for the first time to
lower priced. goods
which their own judg-
ment, as well as the
world-respected Wanna
maker o. K. (or "Okeh,"
as President Wilson
spells it, showed them,
were worthy of pur-
chase, although, natur-
ally, of less fine quality
than the finest.
The Down Stairs
Store is above all a
Store of SeRsibIeRess.
When the waves Of
war rolled up to our
own threshold it jumped
in and helped more
than ever.
When the time came
for the May Sale of
White, at the under-the-
market prices which
only a Wanamaker
Store can secure-and
only twice a year at
that-the Store down
stairs just burst out
into white like a fruit
tree blossoming.
THE blossoms are
Il still at the height
Of their beauty and
t n ir profusion. So
many things are being
bought that you'd think
the armies of customers
would pick the counters
bare-but new consign-
ments come in so fast
that this very morning
the counters look as
