included as part of the income OF the
head of the family. If an unmarried
person supports either partially or
wholly, a parent or some cher rela-
tive or friend, not living in tie same
household, this pjerson is not consid-
cred the head Of family and is there
fore entitled only to the $1,000 eX-
emption. If the parent is wholly de-
pendent, however, and lives IL the
taxpayers household, this makes the
unmarried person the head of the
family"
If because of the special eXemp-
tons for children and dependents or
because of the exemption OF soldiers
and sailors pay, an unmarried per-
sons income of more than $1,000 or
married persons income of more
than $4,000 is found not to be taxable,
this condition does not free the indi-
vidual from filing a return. Thus
many persons who do not have to pay
tax must file returns.
A head of family is described Of
ficially as "a person who supports one
or more persons closely connected
with him by blood relationship, re-
lationship by marriage, or by adop-
ton.
The compensation of a man i'll the
military or naval service, either as an
enlisted man or an officer, is wholly
exempt from taxation, provided this
did not exceed $500 Income Of sol
diers or sailors from private sources
is taxable, however, if it exceeds the
exemptions.
The law does not provide Tor
number of deductions, however, from
gross income, and these are of inter
est mainly to men who made a living
ont of business enterprises. These
allowable deductions include the fol
lowing items:
Expenses pair or incurred during
1918 in carrying on any trade or bust
ness, including rentals and reason
able allowance for salaries.

chinery's information at the source"
which proved SO valuable last year in
preventing tax lodging.
In addition to income taxes there is
a multiplicity of other taxes to be as
sessed this year. Incorporated bust
nesses are required to pay taxes on
net incomes at the rate of II per cent,
with an exemption of $4,000. War
profits and excess profits taxes are as
sessed against corporations only.
The Revenue bureau has made a
provision for accepting tentative esti-
mates of income in cases where tax
payers are not able to figure accur-
ately their incomes before March Is.
In these cases, however, an Install
ment payment of one-fourth of the
estimated amount is required on that
date and tax officials will guard
against any attempt to evade or mini
mize the tax payment then through
setting an unrcasonably low estimate.

MlLLI0NS0F AMERICANS ARE
MAKING INCOME TAX RETURNS

and would pay tax on the difference
between this and his net income. A
man with two children would lave an
exemption Of $4,000; three children,
50, 500, and So on. TO illustrate the
calculation of tax:
A single man with a net income
last year of $4,000 will be taxed $50;
income of $4,000, tax 1920; income of
$4,000, tax $3.50; income of $4,000, tax
$24O.
A married man without children
and with an income of $500 last year
will pay tax of $50; income of $4,000,
tax $50; income Of $4,000, tax $12O;
income of $4,000, tax $3.50.
The regular or normal lax is II
per cent on incomes of more than
S., 900 in case of unmarried perJons
and more than $4,000 IN the case of
married persons without children. In
other words, the tax is doubled on in
comes of $4,000 more than the spe-
cific exemption. In addition, sO-called
surtaxes superimposed on the regular
or normal tax are assessed on net in
comes of more than $4,000, tie add
tional rate being l per cent for the
first 81 900 above that sum, 2 per cent
for the next $4,000, per cent for the
next $4,000, and 1 per cent increase
for each additional $4,000. Both the
II per cent rate and the surtaXes may
be ignored by persons with incomes
Of less than $4,000.
After the tax is figured, person
must count at least on prying one
fourth of the sum by March Is. The
second installmcnt Of One-fOurth is
due June IS; the third quarter, Sep
TENDER Is, and the last i2stallment,
December Is. Penalties are provided
for failure to file on time or to pay
the tax promptly, and tax officials
welcome returns and payments before
March IS. Payment in full by March
Is also will be welcomed on the
ground that tie government needs the
money
A husband and wife whose COM
bined net income for 1918 amounted
to $4,000 or more must file a return
either separately or jointly. If sep
aJate returns are filed, either may
claim personal exemption of $4,000, or
this exemption may be divided. Earn

WASHINGTON, March (by Asso-
ciated Press) Within the next ten
days, or by March Is, every unmar-
ried man or woman who earned 1000
or more in the calendar year 1918, and
every married person whose income
amounted to $4,000 or more must
make a detailed report of his income
to the federal revenue collector of his
district On or before March Is the
first installment of the income tax
must be paid, one-fourth of the entire
amount due, or all of it if the tax
payer chooses.
This means that millions of Ameri-
cans must get to work at once to pre-
pare their returns, and for the guild
ance of taxpayers, the internal reve-
nue. bureau has issued explicit in
structions covering the preparation
and filing of returns. This is the A,
B, c of the procedure:

There are many kinds of these forms
If a persons income was below $4,000
he should ask for the form especi-
ally intended for the smaller incomes
1t might be advisable to get two or
three of these forms, since ore may
be spoiled in the preparation. The
form is a six-page printed sheet, with
detailed instructions for reporting
avrious intems of income and for cal
culating the tax due. By following
thos form Glossy even an ineXperi-
enced person probably will have little
difficulty, particularly if his source OF
income was not complicated or if it
was in wages or salary rather than IN
business transactions.
The tax rate for most individuals is
per cent. For single person TINS
is imposed on the difference between
the total net income for tie year and
$1,000, the so-called exempted amount.
For married man, or for the heads
of a family, the exemption is $4,000
and the per cent tax is imposed on
the difference between that End the
total income There is provision for
an additional exemption Of $500 for
each child or other dependent person,
under IS yeas of age or Incapable OF
self-support. Thus married man

IMPORTANT TO BANK Dl. RECTORS OF MONROE
 COUNTY.

of Monroe county doing their part by Uncle Sam, but to be plain and fair why shouldn,t they? With their vaults teem- ling with idle thousands of theh depositors money it is merely sane banking for them to in vest in Uncle Sans interest bearing demand. "I. o. U's.'
 In this connection, Pm say ing to the splendid men who form the various boards of di- rectors for the Monroe county banking institutions, that it is about time that there was an awakening to the real respon- sibility that is falling on you as such officers
 The real object and purpose of a Community Bank should not be the mere making of a big dividend for the stockhold- CTS or piling up of a big sur plus but it should be the idea | of bank to make money by developing the farming inter- ests and leading the van of progress.
 If the men who compose the ldirectorates of the various Monroe county banks would get together, study the ways that their institutions might serve in the developing of Mon- roe county farming, stock, hog and poultry raising, etc, they would soon find that their de- posits would grow in such a surprising way that they would have to keep busy "go- ing on up."
 Pm going to suggest that Rue Abramson and P. c. Mayo Holly Grove, H. E. Lynch and Ike Bondi, Clarendon. Clyde G. Woodfin and Jas. s. Mitchell be a committee to call a meeting of the Monroe county banks at some time in the near fu- ture looking to an organized effort along the lines of a greater efficiency in the work |of assisting in the developing |Of Monroe county. If these gentlemen will set a day and Invite that wonderfully suc- cessful genius, MT. H. M. Cottrell, agriculturist, now in Little Rock, together with one or two of the real successful state bankers who are DOING things worth while, in the de- veloping game, I'll promise them that they will learn some thing and catch an inspiration that will set "old Monroe county" on fire with a desire to push ahead in the process sion of progress that is now about to march by Us.
 What say you gentlemen? Where when?
 How would the Rusher Hotel in Brinkley, at noon, on We'd nesday, Jan. 29th, suit. for such a meeting, with every bank officer and director in the coun- ty present?

CORN BOOSTED
BY MORE RAIN
Wet Weather I'm West Gives Renew.
ed Strength to Quotes After
Declines at start.

Chicago, June 11.-Wet weather
in the west gave renewed strength
today to the corn market. Bearish
sentiment due to government steps
to check transportation, led to
initial declines, but selling pressure
lacked force as compared with
yesterday, and prices rallied quick
ly. The volume of business was
curtailed owing to the telegraphers'
strike. Opening quotations which
ranged from the same as yester-
days finish to &c lower, with July
$1.67 to $1.671a, and September
$1.591S to $1.5915, were followed by
material upturns all around.
Oats advanced readily with corn.
Covering by shorts was in evidence.
After opening unchanged to Nc
higher, with July 667s to 661z, the
market scored moderate general
gains.
Provisions were lifted up upturns
in the value of hogs and grain. Lard
especially showed strength.
Subsequently predictions that
receipts here next week, as well as
the remainder of this week would
be light, kept the bears at disad-
vantage. The market closed firm,
&c to 17sc net higher with July
SL.68B to S1.6S5s, and September
$1.60h to $1.6OA.
On the provisional market, no
important reaction took place.
