PENALTIEs-INCoME TAX

Every administrator, executor, or
other person in West Virginia in con-
troll of decedent'se estate 70 the value
of $4,000 or more should make re-
turn or file notice with S. A. Hays,
Collector Internal Revenue, Parkers-
burg, West Virginia. The Collector
will furnish forms for use in making
returns.
The law provides fine not exceed
ing $500 should any person liable to
do so fail to make return within thirty
days after the death of decedent, or
coming into the possession Of the
estate. The law also provides n
penalty not exceeding $4,000, or i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year,
or both, in the discretion of the court,
should such person make false state
ment in any return which he is re-
quired to file.
1t is therefore very important, in
the first place, that return should be
made thirty days, and in the second
place that it should give the true and
actual value Of the estate.
Under prevailing conditions the
Government is collecting all taxes with
the utmost care, and its agents are
examining public records with view
to uncovering all liabilities to tax by
decedent's estates
Penalties provided by law can be
avoided only by strict compliance
with it's provisions by persons made
liable to make returns.
The Government will not accept
valuations placed upon property
which do not reflect the true and act
ual values, regardless Of the source
from which they are derived.
S. A. HAYS, Collector.

BURN WOOD. AID FREEDOM

FAIRMONT, w. Va, April "a
When the people of West Virginia
burn wood they save fuel to make
guns and shells, to make aeroplanes,
to fire warships and to aid in the
fight for freedom. When people who
live at some distance from the coal
mines burn wood they conserve the
energy of man and team in hauling
of that coal and provide more coal
for war needs by using wood as fuel.
The wood lot will be better for the
removal of old trees which have stop
ped making growth and of SCARED
and stunted trees. 1t is not argued
that trees which are valuable for
lumber should be cut down for wood.
Leave the thrifty trees of the better
species below ten inches in diameter
for the future crop.
These are the suggestion of the
Federal Fuel Administration of West
Virginia to the people of the States
who can conveniently use wood as
fuel. The Following table has been
prepared in this connection:
Wood seasoned IL months being
estimated as having fuel value of
100 per cent.
Wood seasoned months has fuel
value TO 95 per cent.
Wood seasoned months has fuel
value of 90 per cent
Wood seasoned months has fuel
value of IS per cent.
Wood seasoned months has fuel
value OF IS per cent.
One cord Of the following woods
is equal to ton of coal; hickory, oak,
hard maple, beech and ash.
One cord of the following woods
equal three-fourths of ton of coal;
soft maple and elm.
One cord of the following woods
eqnal one-third of ton of coal: pine,
nelock, cedar. spruce and butternut.

Meets with Accident in Atlantic Port
Many Workmen Imprisoned

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Apr. u.s.
The American line steamship st.
Paul overturned while being warp
ed around her pier here today after
coming from a nearby dry dock.
Many workmen on board appear to
have been imprisoned in the hold Of
the St. Paul. Observers from the
tops of buildings overlooking the
pier saw rescuers cutting holes in
the part Of the hull above water
letting down ladders and bringing
up the men who had been imprison-
ed. Whether the St. Paul's seacocks
were left open or the ballast shifted
remains to be determined.
