WHY NOT?

The season of the home talent show
| is at hand and Welsh should have
more of these entertainments. There
is nothing more enjoyable than an
amateur play and those who take part
get a great reward in the satisfaction
Iof pleasing their friends and raising
Ia sum of money for some worthy cause.
The rehearsals help to while away
the long winter evenings and you get
a lot of fun out of them along with
the mental stimulus that comes with
memorizing the lines
These local talent productions are
particularly valuable to the commun-
ity when they feature musical talent.
Comedy and drama are very good, but
music is always acceptable. Appear
ing before the public in either vocal
or instrumental numbers is first class
training that helps wonderfully in the
broadening of talents.
Since the advent of the picture show
many rural communities and larger
towns have grown Indifferent to the
home talent entertainment. We should
not lose sight of the value of amateur
theatricals. The people are always
glad to patronize them and Welsh has
some unusually clever talent that
should be aroused. This fact has been
demonstrated on recent occasions.
Our schools and churches can use
the proceeds from these entertain
ments and we all enjoy them. Let us
get back to the old fashioned way of
having good time at home.

CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANT
is HERE MAKING
INCOME TAX RETURNS.

c. c. Sandoz of New Orleans, a GER
titled public accountant, is here this
week making out income returns for
a number Of firms, corporations and
individuals. He will probably be in
town for another week at least before
completing the work entrusted to him.
Speaking on the subject Mr. Sandos
said that from what he learned from
the internal revenue officers, the rules
pertaining to making income returns
would be more rigidly enforced this
year than heretofore. especially as to
the time limit and the correctness of
the reports. General extensions of
time were allowed uast year and cor
p0rations were allowed to make esti.
mated reports Professionally until the
details could be worked out. That, he
says, will not be the case this year,
but all corporations and individuals
will be expected to file correct report
within the time limit, which is March
18th.
Most of the firms and individuals
who do nything like large business
have ceased trying to make out their
reports by themselves and are seek
ing the service of men specially traine-
ed in the work.
