BRIDGEyILLE Is PATRIOTIC

Bridgeville's quota of s1OS,OOO for
the Victory Loan has been subscribed
over a week, or since April 29, the
people look back with just pride to the
towns record with the five loans.
Bridgeville was the first town in the
State to raise its quota on two of the
loans; first in Sussex county on two
others, and on the Victory Loan Sec
ond in the State and county. Milford
having taken the latter honor from
Bridgeville.
At the meeting in the Opera House
here April 20, ]. Hall Anderson of
Dover gave a fine address, after which
the committee, of which Harry L. Can
non was chairman, announced that
$4,000 had been then subscribed. In
a short time the quota of $10S,00O had
been reached, and it would have been
easy to have raised several thousand
more at the meeting, but an over
subscription was not desired. The dis
trict went considerably "Over the top"
in the four previous loans, assisted and
subscribed in nearby districts to help
make up quotas, so that the towns
pride seems justified.

INCOME TAX STATEMENT

Hon. Joshua W. Miles, Collector of
Internal Revenue, has issued state
ment calling attention to the fact that
under the present Income Tax Law
all partnerships are required to make
a return of income regardless of the
amount of gross or net income.
This return must be made on a
blank furnished by the Collectors
Office and known as Form 1865.
This is a new feature Of the Income
Tax Law and Collector Miles issues
this statement at this time in order
that all persons liable to file partner
ship return may be appriZed of the
necessity for doing so. He said;
Partnerships as such are not sub
ject to taxation under the statute, but
individuals carrying on business in
partnership are taxable upon their dis
tributive shares of the net income of
such partnerships, whether distributed
or not, and are required to include
such distributive shares in their re-
turns.
The larger business concerns are
probably aware of the necessity of fill
lg the partnership return, but it is
the great number of small concerns
which l fear will fail to file this state
ment because the necessity therefor
S unknown to such concerns.
These returns must be filed in the
office of the Collector of Internal Rev
enue at Baltimore, Md, not later than
June Is. Every partnership, without
egard to the amount of its gross or
net income, should apply to the Col
lector's Office promptly for a blank
orm upon which to file its return"

MP. CHURCH NEARING ITS
GOAL OF MILLION DOLLARS

The Forward Movement Campaign OF
the Methodist Protestant Church.
which includes the raising OF one mil
lion dollars for the missionary, edu-
cational and charitable enterprises OF
that denomination, is now in full swing
and indications are that the total
amount to be realized will considerably
exceed the apportionment in the ma
jority OF cases.
May II to 21 were the dates set for
the official canvass, but reports to date
show that in their eagerness to put
the job through promptly and in good
style many of the churches went way
over the top on the first day.
Practically all of the Baltimore city
churches have given much more than
asked and the counties are pushing
close. Increased enthusiasm has mark
ed the campaign, ministers and laymen
vieing with each Sther in their work
for the success of the movement. The
few churches that have not yet COM
pleted their quota are confidently ex-
pected to finish their task on next
Sunday.

NEW CASTLE ADOPTS NEW CODE

At a meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton of New Castle last week it was
decided to adopt the new school code.
The code states after a local board
adopts it the members are literally out
of office, and it is up to the governor
to appoint three men, chosen from
the present board, to serve until June
1920 Then an election will be held in
the school building and three men
elected. Under the new code the prin-
cipal is the secretary OF the board.
Another rule is that the members of
the board cannot elect any teacher.
This must be done by the county su-
perintendent. The names of the new
board will be announced by the gov
ernor, it is expected, as soon as he
returns from the south. John Man
love is the oldest member now serving
on the board. He was elected on the
26th of June, 1894, and has served
ever since. 1t is likely that he will be
one of the men chosen by the governor
