HAVE YOU PAID YOUR
INCOME TAX YET?

All income tax returns must be in
the hands of the collector Of internal
revenue, at Dubuque, on or before
March 18th, together with at least
one-fourth of the tax appearing to be
due.
Returns for all classes Of individu-
al income taxpayers have been dis
ributed--1040-A forms for individu-
ais having net income under $4,000,
and 1O40 for individuals having an
income over $4,000.
There is no excess profits tax on in
dividuals or partnerships this year,
and partnerships will make return as
partnership merely for the purposes
of information, and the individual
members of partnerships will report
their share of partnership income on
individual forms.
AS to those counties where 1t has
been impossible to send an income
tax man to assist taxpayers, the col
lector suggests that the services of
bankers and county agricultural
agents be solicited in executing re-
turns. Farmers may have a form
especially designed for them by ask
ing for 1O4O-F. a.
Every individual partnership, or
corporation, who last year paid ST.
900 or more in salaries, wages, fees,
commissions, etc, to another indi-
vidual, firm or corporation must
make a return of the amount so paid
on Form 1899. and swear to the in
formation on Form 1896. Requests
for these forms should be addressed
to the collector at Dubuque. One
Form 1896 will cover all Forms 1899
issued by the same person making
payments.
Supplies of forms of all kinds, so
far available, have been sent to all
county agricultural agents, income
tax deputies and banks( and may
be obtained from them. The COL
lector announces that no corporation
forms have been received as yet.

MISS KATHRYN Mcguire TO
BE NEW POSTMISTRESO

Audubon Is to have a change in the
postoffice sometime in the near fu-
ture. Miss Kathryn Mcclure. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Mcclure,
has been appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation OF 8. b.
Morrissey, the present incumbent.
About a year ago Mr.. Morrissey sent
in his resignation to the department
and on June 5th last year competi-
tive examination was held, there b.
ing five candidates for the position.
We are told that Miss Mcclure had
the highest grade in the examination.
For some reason or other the mat
ter has been held up until few days
ago when word came from Washing
ton that Miss MCGUIRE had been ap-
pointed to the position. However.
the appointment must be confirmed
Dy the senate before change is made
and now that congress has adjourEa
without confirming the appointment.
it may be several months before sho
wall be indicted into office. The
matter will probably not be taken M
until President Wilson returns from
France and calls congress into ses-
sion which will probably be some
time next June.

NO CHANGE IN TIE SPRING
STYLES OF GARDEN SEEDS

There is nothipg radically new in
spring styles Of garden seeds for the
season of 1919. The coiors on the
envelope are q little BRIGHTER and the
packages are cut little fuller than
last year but 1t 10 the same old line
OF garden sass. But prices have
gone considerably higher. This Is q
refrain that We have heard SO often
that II does not surprise US any
more.
But the packages are larger In
some cases. the dealers tell MS. This
offsets In q measure the advance in
the price. We pay considerable
more for what We get but get a lit
tie more for what We pay.
The sale OF garden seeds has been
unusually heavy for 30 early in the
season. due no doubt to the snr'ng
weather that has been prevailing
pretty much all winter. But the
large sale also forecasts large plant
ing of gardens this snring. The
people have got the Garden fever and
they are going to keep 1t.

AUDUBON MADE GOOD SHOWING

The Audubon High School was rep
resented in the sub-district declama-
tory contest at Griswold last Fri
day evening by Miss Ollivene Hansen
who was in the dramatic class. Au-
dubon was somewhat unfortunate this
year in securing an instructor. The
one who had been secured was I'M
able to come and the substitute did
not get here until week before the
contest was to be given here. Usu-
ally pupils have three to four weeks
training and it is much to the credit
Of Miss Hansen that she made such
a good showing with so little train
ing. In the contest she received
good markings though she did not Sc
cure first place. The winner IN the
dramatic class was Miss Hilda Frank
lin Of Griswold; the winner in the
oratorical class was Miss Geneva
Wedner of Anita: and the winner In
the humorous class was Miss Sarah
Yoder of Adair. These winners will
participate in the district contest at
Missouri Valley sometime in the near
future. -.
The winners of the district contest
will compete in the state contest at
