Uncle Sam wants to know what

tax will be made TO feed. clothc and
arm the boys who will wage the
fight for democracy across the Seas
There has been generally ac-
ccpted idea that the farmer is not
subject to income tax. This Is wrong.
The farmer must bear his share Of
the burden as well as the city resi-.
dent and the government wants TO
know how much he made from his
farm Jan J 1917 TO Dee, 81. 1871, that
