In Q communication received by
this paper. Collector Of Internal Re
venue Mark A. Skinner announces
that . federal income tar ofllesr will
be sent into this county on Feb.
9Th and will be here until Feb.
18th. He will have his ofIice in U.
Is. Land Office, and win be there
every day ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income tax
make out their returns without
any cost to them for his services.
How many incometax payers VIII
there be in Prowers, County? IL
you can guess how many marrieo
persons living with wife or HUSBAND
will have net incomes OF QUO OF
over and how many unmarried per-
sons will have net incomes OF $l.O0O
or over this year, then you know.
The Collector of Internal Revenue
estimates that there will be rs tax
payers in this county.
Reurns Of income for the year lSl1
must be made on forms provioeo
for the purpose before March !, 1915
Because q good many people don't
understand the law and won't know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending in this ex-
pert to do it for them. But the
duty is on the taxpayer to make
himself known to the government.
If he doesn't make return as re-
auired before March he may have
to pay penalty ranging from Wv
to $1,000. pay fine or 60 to jail. so
il you don't want to take chances
on going to Jail, you better call on
the income tax man. II you are not
sure about being subject to the tax,
better ask him and make sure
Whether YOU see the income tax
man Or not. you must make return
If subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident In
other counties may, if they want to,
come and see the income tax man
in this county.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses SO as to be ready
with the figures when the expert
arrives. Expenses. however. don't
mean family expenses, money used
to pay off the principal Of a debt
new machinery, buildings, or any
thing like that. They mean what
you spend in making your money
interest, taxes paid, hired help, a.
mount paid for goods sold, seed.
stock bought for feeding, rent tex,
cept for your dwelling), etc. In
come includes about every dollar
you got.

considering the kind of . girls team
they we're playing they played ex.
eeedingly well. The score Of the
boys game that followed was 22 to 2
In favor Of La Junta but it was only
on account Of La Junta's team work
