Get Ready For the
Income Tax Man

Beginning this week, Collector
Joshua w. Miles, of the Internal
Revenue Department, will begin send
ing out income tax forms to all tax
payers of record who made returns
last year on incomes up to $4,000.
All who receive these blanks are
requested for their own protection
and also to facilitate the work of this
revenue Office to use them and none
others. And for this reason; Last
year quite n number of signatures
attached to returns received were not
legiblc, and the clerks were obliged to
guess at the names or pass them up
as anonymous returns, subject to re-
vision when the person making the
payment and who had been cited
delinquent came to register a
There were quite a number of
illegible signatures received last "
and they caused trouble to both pa
ties.
The Collector will start two drives
using all of his field deputies as wei
Us the force turned over by Special
Agent of the Treasury Forbes. These
men will be divided into two classes,
the first imposing the floor tax after
taking stock of liquor, tobacco and
cigars, and the second going through
the state to instruct persons how to
prepare their returns. Immediately
after the time limit for making these
has expired, then all Of the deputies
will unite in hunting up the delin-
quents, and as all of the men are ex-
perts now, those who escape will be
lucky indeed

Worcester Boy Wounded
And GaSSed In France
Paul Rayne, Of Bishopville, Member Of | 9th
Field Signal Battalion, Was in Battle
of Chateau Thieny, France

They didn't succeed. Rayne fixed
that line of communication before he
was laid low. His job finished, he was
carried from the field. and was in the
hospital for some time. He spent
much time with the French people
and almost felt ashamed of himself
the first time he struck real bed
after the armistcc was signed, be-
cause he had slept in trenches and
shell holes so often that he hardly
knew how to turn in when he came
TO a bed
Rayne tells one of the most unusual
stories of the war He was on his
way from home in Bishopvillc to
Camp Meade in the early days of the
war when he met on the train Mr..
and Mrs. Malone, of Salisbury. They
learned that Rayne was Meade man
and asked him if he ever got chance
to look up their son, Russell Malone,
in that camp. Rayne tried to find
Malone several times at the camp,
but never succeeded. He then went
overseas and forgot the incident.
One night in September or October
last the division to which Raync was
attached turned its sector o@er to the
Seventy-ninth boys. Rayne on his
way back from the trenches stopped
to chat with some men. He found
that they were Marylanders and was
delighted. One of the men intro
duccd himself as Malone. There, al
most on the eve of battle and at the
very entrance to the trenches, he met
the man he so often had sought in
vain.

SMALLPOX ON
The PENINSULA
Has Broken Out at Laurel, Del.
And at Cambridge, Md.
3 Cases at Laurel.

Smallpox has broken out at Laurel,
Del, where three cases were discov-
cred Monday of this week. The dis
ease is among the white people of
that community and is said to have
been carried there from Cambridge.
Md, where quite a number Of small
pox cases have prevailed for
little time. In fact, the State Boa
of Health has had an expert in Cam
bridge looking over the situation in
that town, with a view to closer
quarantine of the smallpox patients.
There are one or two points in
Western Maryland where the disease
has also broken out. The authorities
are of the opinion that some of the
men returning from the cantonments
have probably brought this disease
back to the state but there is no
alarm over the situation because the
State authorities say that vaccination
has been so successfully carried on
in this state for many years. that il
will be impossible for smallpox to
get any hold on the people. At the
same time, the State authorities re-
quest the local physicians to be on the
look out for any cases of smallpox
and report the same Immediately so
that by strict quarantine, the disease
will be kept from spreading.
