INCOME TAX TIME
IS DRAWING NEAR :
AS YEAR CLOSES
NECESSARY BLANKS WILL BE
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION
EARLY in DECEMBER

Collector of Internal Revenue,
Emanuel j. Doyle, of Grand Rapids,
furnishes us with the following infor-
nation relative to the matter of the
income tax which affects a great many
OF the people each year.
Plans for the issuance early in De-
cember of forms for filling income
and excess profits tax returns are be-
ing made by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Taxpayers will thus be
given the opportunity of making out
their returns Immediately upon the
closing of their books for the year
1919, when accurate knowledge of
their accounts is fresh in their minds.
AS convenience to themselves and
as a means of expediting the work of
the Government, taxpayers are urg-
ed by the Bureau, in a statement is
sued today, to avail themselves of
this opportunity. The period for FL
ing is from January l to March Is,
1920.
If the tax is paid in quarterly in
stallments, one-fourth of the amount
must accompany the filing of the re-
turn.
Form 1040A will be used for filing
individual income tax returns of S5.-
900 and less, and Form 1040 for fill
ing returns of income in excess Of
that amount.
The normal rate of tax for 1919.
provided for in the Revenue Act of
1918, is A percent on the first $4,000
above the exemption. and per cent
on the remaining net income. The
tax for 1918 was and IL per cent
respectively. The surtax rates, which
ranges from / per cent on the amount
of net income between $4,000 and &c.
600 to 65 per cent of the amount by
which the net income exceeds ST.
10000 are the same as for the year
1918. The exemptions Of $1,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for married
persons and heads of families remain
unchanged.
These rates apply to every citizen
and resident OF the United States.
Alien nonresidents receiving income
from sources within the United States
are subject to the full tax of 8 per
cent on such income in excess of the
exemptions.
Form 1041 will be used for. fling
returns of fiduciaries. Form 1865 for
partnerships and personal service cor
porations, and Form 1920 for corpor-
atoms.
Announcement will be made of the
date on which the forms will be avail
able at the offices of Collectors of
Internal Revenue and branch offices.

and hay will be secured. The county
agents, who are trained men, are CIV
ing assistance in the better selection
of samples and are even taking back
some of the winning samples in the
shows, eliminating poor ears Of corn
and replacing them with types that
improve the exhibit and make for a
stronger show. There is every evil
dence that there will be large num-
Der of exhibits and an unusually close
competition. Farmers everywhere
are urged TO get in touch with the
county agents and to secure their as
sistance and cooperation in arrang-
ing for exhibits to be sent TO the IN
ternational show.

NOT MERELY FISH STORIES
Showers Of Sea Food From Sky Are
Authenticated, According to
Magazine Writer.

Next time some one tells you Of Its
raining fish and frogs, don't laugh; the
story may be true. There is, for In
stance, record of fish rain in 1868
that showered smelts all over Stan
stead parish in merry England, says
Popular. Science Magazine.
In Baton Rouge, In 1896, it rained
ducks, catbirds and woodpeckers.
We pause right here to say that sci
entists explain these showers by the
lifting power of the wind and the an
cient principle that what goes up
must come down; and you never can
be sure what Is up.
Getting down to 1917, John Lewis of
Aberdale, Wales, reports: Il was
startled by something falling all over
me. On putting my hand down
my neck | was surprised to find they
were little fish,"
No less a person than Alexander
Won Humboldt writes of a downpour
of fishes in the Andes which seemed to
be aided and abetted by a very active
volcano. The natives said they rath-
err counted on fish showers to reduce
the H. G. L., usually having several a
season.
Singapore, as might be expected,
holds the shower record, with a rain OF
five-inch catfish. which the Chinese
gathered by the basketful.
Nine native witnesses urged by
canny Scot, made dispositions before g
magistrate attesting the truth of their
tales of a shower in Bengal during
which at least five kinds of fish fell
from the heavens.
Boston, in the days of the "plug" hat,
had what is called (being Boston) "a
piscatoriai deluge." But in Connecfi-
cut the same year 1t rained fish ana
Ice together, which we call thoughtful.
