A DUTY THAT MUST
NOT BE NEGLECTED

Maybe heretofore you have not
paid any attention to the income tax.
ii is time you did, because failure to
report your income before March l,
1918. will cost you dearly---for the
penalty is from $40 to S1OOOfine and
in addition fifty percent Of the tax
due. If you fail to give truthful an
swers to the questions on the bank,
the fine will not exceed $4,000 or will
not exceed one years Imprisonment,
or both, in the discretion Of court.
In case Of sickness orabsence from
home you may get an extension of
time by writing application to the Col
lector of Internal Revenue, in which
must be stated the reasons why the
return cannot be rendered in the tiEt
prescribed by law.
If you dodge the tax this year and
next, or for years to come, look out
for the day of reconing when some
body reports you and the government
collects all back taxes with the pen
alties of five per cent on the amount
of tax due and one per cent interest
for each full month during which the
tax remains unpaid. 1t is cheaper to
pay every year and not try to dodge
it.
Every unmarried person having a
net income of $1,000 or more, and
every married person having net
income of $4,000 or more in 1917, must
report before March l, 1918, to the
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
district in which the tax payer re-
sides. 1t is nessary that you find out
whether you have an income that vii
make you taxable under the new law
So you bette. get out your pencil ant
do some figuring.
The law defies income as profit
money or it's equivalent from profes
sions, vocations, business, commerce
ltrade, rents, sales or dealings in prop
Ierty, real or personal and interes
| from investments except interes
from governments bonds or any state
munical, township or county bonds
Income from service as guardian, tru
tee or executor, from dividends, per
3ions, royalties or patents, or oil an
gas wells, coal land, ect., and IN
lCOMES FROM ALL SOURCES ar
taxable under the law, if the net in
} come from all sources come to tn
sums named.
1t is going to be some task for
farmer to find out what his incom
Twas. Few keep books, especially Q
the smaller items bought and sold.
|, is counted as sale If you take butte
, eggs, apples, potatoes or any produc
you have raised to the store an
trade it out" for groceries, wearin
apparel or what not. Living expense
cannot be deducted, SO you must fig
, lure the value of the farm product
traded for something, as though yo
sold the products for cash. 1t is notI
ing to the tax collector whether yo
got cash on sugar for the product.
The same is true Of real estate.
you sold part or all of the farm the
figure as profit or income the diffel
ence between the cash value March
1918, and the price for which sol
or the difference between it's cost an

\ What Is Exempt?
OF course there are exemption

What Is Exempt?

or course there are exemptions.
The single person who is supporting
dependent children or dependent par
ents or crippled relatives who cannot
help support themselves is considered
the head Of a family and has the sanrs
exemption-$2000-as a married per-
son. Unmarried persons with incomes
Of less than $1,000 and no dependents
are exempt from the tax.
Where husband and wife both have
incomes they can report together and
claim one exemption, or report sep
arately and divide the one exemption
between them. In case they are d.
vorced or living apart, the one caring
! for the children can claim full! ex-
empticn and the other only $1,000.
There is an exemption to the ex-
tent of 5000 for each dependent child
under eighteen va. Of l,.c Suppose
your net income figured up to $3.50
and you have foar d. zen lent ofil-
I dren under eigntesn ycars. you would
be allowed $500 deduction for them.
Other Exemptions
There is a certain depreciation in
the value Of property which is ex-
empt. 1t runs as follows: five per cent
on frame buildings and two and a
half per cent year on brick or stone
buildings, ten per cent on the cost of
farm machinery and implements. But
this deduction must be based upon
actual depreciation through use or
partial destruction. If it's value is the
same as the year previous there is nc
deduction.

OUT-DRIVING HINDENBURG
Viginians Engaged In Big Push That
Means Much Toward Defending
Men In Trenches.

While the ruthless Hindenburg is pre-
pairing his poison gas and liquid FIRE with
which to spray the mirey trenches in
which American boys are standing guard,
bulwark against which the would-be
wreckers OF Right and Democracy are
dashing their best, thousands Of Vir-
ginians in every section of the State are
pushing to a successful conclusion a
Thrift Drive which is vital to the protec-
ton of their defenders. Reports garnered
from County Committeeman indicate
that the people are realizing the necessity
for thrift and the unequaled opportunity
for investment which the War Savings
and Thrift Stamps open to them and are
purchasing in fine fashion.
n At all of the various meetings the great
est enthusiasm has been shown and scores
of men, women and children have pledged
themselves to the purchase of certain
amounts of stamps during the year, thus
becoming members Of either the $40,
SIS, $50, 500 or even 81 900 clubs. By
buying so many stamps week, the total
is easily secured and hardly with one
noticing the money thus loaned the Gov
eminent. As stamps can be bought for
Is cents and IS, saving is made easy for
all, and the four per cent. compounded
interest paid by the Government makes
the investment unusually valuable Coun-
ty Committeeman hope that every person
in the county will pledge themselves for
the largest possible amount to be bought
during 1918 and that they will attend
the meetings now being held.
