goods not received at the end of the
year should be included, and in these
cases such goods must be included in
the inventory for the end of the year;
for, although in transit, the title to the
goods has passed to the shopkeeper
and they are considered as on hand.
Goods or local products received in eX-
change for other goods should not be
included; neither should cash pur-
chases be considered if the intake for
the year is figured on the basis Of the
daily gain shown in the cash drawer.
The construction of inventories Of
goods on hand unsold at the beginning
and at the end of the year is nc a
difficult matter in small merchandise
ing. The stock on hand is generally
well known to the owner, who, if he
is widc-awake, keeps an eagle eye on
his shelves and storehousc. The pric-
ing of this stock is the thing that he
must be most careful about, particular
ly in these years Of nuctuating costs.
The pricing should be by one Of two
methods: Cd Cost in each item or
(2) cost or market whichever is low
cr on each item. In either case he
cannot value the stock at any price
higher than cost and by the second
method the shopkccper may use mar
kct price if it is lower than his actual
purchase price, on any or all items.
In pricing inventories there is an
other important rule of the Govern
mcnt to be observed; that is where
goods arc SO interminglcd that they
cannot be identified with specific in
voices they arc doomed to be the most
recently purchased, and the latest in
voice prices on those particular items
should be used.
AS to selling expenses, these are
easily figured, for shopkeeper keeps
a close watch on his till and knows
what it has cost to pay his help, to
light and heat his store, to pay his
rent, if any, and to maintain his de-
livery service. Then there is the tcle-
phone, telegraph, postage, expressage,
freight, and repairs. He is also allow
ed to include interest paid on borrow
ed money, taxes on his business pro-
pcrty, and Il reasonable allowance for
wear and tear on his fixtures, wages,
horses, delivery auto, or any machin-
cry or other cquipcent which he owns
and uses in the business.
With the above data at hand, any
dealer may figure the net income of
the business. The procedure is as fol-
lows:

ESSENTIAL FACTS ON HOW
TO FIX YOUR INCOME BLANK
This Tax Is Often "a Blessing in Dis
guise" Forcing, as it Does, the
Business Man to DO His Buying,
Selling and Accounting More
Systematically.

Just how Il merchant or Shopkccpcr
who has no real bookkeeping meth
DDS, should proceed in figuring hi
annual profit or loss for the purpose
of the income vaX is explained in
statement isucl by the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue.
The experience Of the bureau is tha
most shopkccpcrs have at hand, or cal
construct with reasonable accuracy
the data necessary for properly com
putting the net income for each year.
The data which he will need is con,
tanned in the gross sales, the purchas.
es fthc year, the Inventories at be,
ginning and end Of the year, and the
selling expenses.
The gross sales over the counter arc
known to every progressive store OF
shOpkecpcr. In many cases he has his
cash-registcr memoranda. Even if he
has no register, he usually has some
other records Of his intake.
Aside from cash sales, most small
stores have running accounts with Gus
toners. | nthc case OF brand new
business it is important that accounts
receivable for goods or services fur
nished during the taxable year be ad-
ded to the cash receipts, the result to
be take mas the gross sales Of the
year.
In the case of long established
business in which the balances due
from customers will average about the
same amount each year, the storckccp-
cr has the privilege of figuring his
net income on "cash busis." That
is, by ignoring the balances due him
from customers and including in his
cash receipts the tota lof intake re-
gardlcss of when his goods were sold,
he will arrive. by proceeding along the
steps prescribed by the bureau, at an
acceptable computation Of the net re-
suit of the years transactions.
In any case where both the cash in
take and the accounts receivable Great
ed during the year arc taken into con-
Slderatlon as the gross sales, the store
keeper should guard against duplica-
ton of the same income Syomitting
the payments received on back ac-
counts that were taken up in prior
years as accrued income.
There are, therefore, two methods
of arriving at gross sales for the year.
On the one hand is the "cash basis"
which is more practical for long
established store, and on the other
hand is the "accrual basis" which is
more accurate from an accounting
standpoint as showing the correct
earnings of the store during the year
The purchases of goods and sup
plies during the year arc obtainable
from the inward invoices. which most
Shopkecpers retain for their own use
IN flNlng retail prices. Invoices Of
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-02-25

of the year to the purchases for the
year; from this sum subtract the in
ventory for the end Of the year, and
the balance is the cost Of goods sold.
Taking this cost from the gross sales
for the year he reaches a figure which
is his gross operating for the year.
From this gross profit he is allowed to
deduct his selling expenses. The result
is net profit, to which he should add
any interest or other bushes sincomc
not included in his gross sales, and the
result will be the amount which he
will consider as his business net in
come.
BY pursuing the above method the
shopkeepcr eliminates consideration Of
his own salary or Withdrawals from
the business. If he made withdrawals
from the business, whether daily,
weekly, monthly, annually, or irregu-
larly, in the form Of cash or in goods
for his home consumption, this amount
must either be added back into the net
income as computed by the method ex-
planned above or he should consider it
as salary withdrawn, and therefore
taxable income. The point to be
borne in mind is that Mr.. Storekeeper
is taxable on his entire net income,
whether withdrawn or not.
A merchant may have withdrawn a
considerable amount of money from
his business and yet have actually suf-

We felt we were suddenly trans
PLANTED into another world where
everything was out Of tune with
all our experiences. We simply
could not believe the end had
come. We were not satisfied.
We had not had enough. We ex-
peeted the battle to begin again
any moment in all its former in
tensity. 1t simply could not be
as it was. 1t was all contrary
to everything we had learned of
war. We wished and expected
the fight to resume. Our bleed
was hot for more. We felt cheat
ed out of our prize. Metz had
not fallen. The German armies
had not been cut to pieces. The
military power opposed to us
had not been completely destroy
ed. None of the enemy country
had been devastated by war. It
was all wrong as it was and we
felt the attack must resume.
That continuous silence! How
it seemed to mock all our past eff
forts! We remained still in our
places, listening for the slightest
sound of activity and trembling
in our eagerness to begin again.
Nothing happened. Each mo-
ment seemed the end Of time.
We were lonesome. We were
miserable. All friends seemed
to have deserted us. Everything
was unbelievable. Where a
moment ago we hoped the battle
would resume again, now we
feared it would begin. The reac-
ton was setting in from the
high tension felt so long. The
terrible suspense was shattering
our nerves. Oh, that deathly
silence! We remained still,
afraid to speak, lest the words
should start things off again.
A faint cheer was heard in the
distance. Closer and closer it
came, rising and swelling in vol
ume as it drew nearer. The sus-
pense was over. We jumped to
our feet and added cheer upon
cheer, until Heaven itself joined
in the joy and sent back the glad
sound to US. We knew the end
had come.

 QUESTIONS

springs in this country?
 The gigantic springs of the country are mostly confined to the limestone re- zion of the middle and southern states. Through this belt are found the great caves and the subterranean rivers. The waters have here worked like enormous moles, and have honeycombed the foun- dations of the earth They have great highways beneath the hills. Water charged with carbonic acid gas has q very sharp tooth and a powerful diges- tion, and no limestone rock can long re- sist it.
 ?. Are there are many birds in Eng land colored blue as in America?
 It is worthy of remark that among British birds there is no blue" bird. The cerulean tint seems much rarer among the feathered tribes there than here. On this continent there are at least three species of the common blue bird, while in all our woods there is the blueiay and the indigo bird, the lat it's name. There is also the blue gros- beak and among our warbIers the blue tint is very common.
 3. Do meadow mice swim?
 Tn the spring, through the tunnel of the meadow-mouse sthe water rushes as through a pipe; and that nest of his, that was so warm and cozy beneath the snowbank m the meadow bottom, is sod den or afloat. But meadow-mice are moi sfrai3 oi water On various occasions have seen them swimming about tht spring pools like musllrats, and, wher alarmed diving beneath the water.
