1917. You will see, therefore, that 1t
applies to most of your neighbors.
Now, if they don't pay the income
tax when it is due, they will be vio-
lators of the law, subject to pen
fine ranging from $40 to $1,000 and

is cheaper to pay the tax than the
penalties. BY helping the govern

them, in warning them in time SO
that they can avoid the penalties,
but the government also.
1.-The shortest way to determine IL
a person is subject to. the income
tax is to add all the money Tor its
equivalent notes, etc. which he re-
ceives from every source during the
calendar year 1917-from January /
to December 81. Then subtract from
this amount the total expenses and
other authorized deductions. "Ex-
penses" however, do not include per-
sonal, living or family expenses;
neither do they include cost of new
machinery, new buildings, new silos,
new fences, drainage or ditching.
Expenses do not include any expendi-
ture for anything in the nature of
permanent improvements or better
ments, or anything which adds to
the value of the farm. Expenses in
clude only what is actually paid for
labor Except to ones own male
children under q and female child
rem under 18), tools that wear out
in a year or two. repairs for machin-
cry used on the farm, fertilizer,
spraying material for orchards, gin
ming, thrashing, gasoline for power
on the farm, seed for planting, twine,
grease, oil and such like expenses
actually incurred in producing the
years crop. State and county taxes
are also to be deducted but taxes
paid for drainage and improvement
districts cannot be deducted. Now,
when these expenses are added to-
gether and the total amount is sub
tracted fro mthe total income the
amount left is net income. If, as
above stated this is $1,000 or more

There are thousands of people in
this state who will be effected by
the war income tax law. They may
not hear of 1t, or of their duty in

no one representing the government
will call on them personally. The
law makes it the duty of the tax
payer to call on the collector.
THE purpose of this letter is to ap-

to tell all the people in your town
file their returns for income tax
with the collector on or before

be done in order that their returns

and are now down 500 feet. II Is
on the bank Of the river and is A
llkely looking spot TO driII, and IL
may be that the river does not cut
orr the trend as was thought in the
early days when the well was drilled
on Turkey Island that proved so
much OF disappointment. The
reason Tor the change OF opinion is
mat the Boston pool has crossed the
river AS has been disclosed by drill
ing south Of the famous farm.
The Duncan Hale OH company is
drilling in the top Of the Bartlesville
sand, the location being at the cen
Ter or the east line Of the northeast
or the southwest Of 26-2l-S 1t is
southwest across forty from the
Markham good well on the Thomas
farm in the same section. A pecu-
liar thing about these wells is that
the oil is found in the gas sand on
top Of the Bdrtlcsvllle while the
wells 10 the south have the oil in
the bottom OF the same sand
The lalCyon oil company has "A
dry hole in the southwest corner of
the east half OF the northeast OF
-7-"l-S, which shows plainly that
the sand found in the Markham well
Is not extending west very far
Markham and SChocnfclt have COM
pleted dry hole in the BartlcsVille
sand on the Charles Schocnfclt in
the northwest of 2J-2l-S, located
about 1000 feet northeast of the
good Markham well. which restricts
me possible era in which oil can he
found to a narrow strip reaching
north and perhaps across the river.
The well drilled by Cosden in the
southeast corner OF the northeast Of
l3-2l-7 which produced ia the
Cleveland sand Is an interesting
feature OF development in the old
pool. 1t is pumping 20 barrels
There is no doubt but that Clcvc-
land being the first producing coun-
try in Oklahoma, has done more for
the oil men in its history than any
other pool OF similar size. There
was an aggregation of talent at
Cleveland in the early days that
would be hard to equal anywhere.
The most remarkable lease in the
entire field. as far as long life and
productiveness is concerned. is that
owned by the Southwest OH Fields
company Boston concern, who
purchased ii from Bill Milliken,
about 1906. and this same farm Of
only 81 acres Is still producing 300
barrels a day every day in the year.
1t is said that Kill Milliken
thought he handed the Boston bunch
a lemon when he sold them the lease
and 1t did look like it for at least one
day when their biggest tank was
struck by lightning. causing big
loss, but it has paid for itself over
and over again times innumerable.
