Income Tax Due Tune Is

The following information for the
guidance OF taxpayers in the payment
of the second installment of their in
come tax for the year 1919 is given out
by the Collector of Internal Revenue
Burlington, Vermont.
Bills for the second installment of
the income tax for 1919, due on or be-
fore June ID, have been mailed to tax
payers Unlike those of last year, the
bills are non-detachable and are ex-
pected to be returned intact, accom-
panied by check or money order
Payment in this manner is partic-
ularly desirable 1t helps the taxpayer
by saving him trip to the office of
the collector or branch Office, and it
helps the government by avoiding con-
gestlon at the cashiers window dur
ing the last few days proceeding the
date of payment. Besides a check is
a receipt
Failure Of taxpayer to receive a
bill does not relieve him of his obliga-
ton to pay his tax within the time spec
flied. To avoid penalty and interest
the tax must be in the office of the
collector or branch office on or before
June Is.
Checks or money order should be
made payable to Collector of Internal
Revenge Payments may be made
at the office of J. E. Kennedy. Collect
or Burlington, Vermont"

task of the Allotment and Allowance
Division of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance was rendered exceedingly
complex by the presence in the files
of records of $4,000 members of the
Johnston family, Uohnstone, Johnsons,
Jonsons, etc., including 2,138 John
Johnstons and 2,032 William Johnstons,
$1,000 Smiths, $4,000 Browns, 1900
Williams, 2S,050 Jones, $4,000 Ander-
sons, $500 Walkers, and other large
groups of family names. The name of
John was found spelled in % different
ways, and the name of Aloysius in 40
ways. Sometimes people forgot to
sign any name at all to their letters,
or wrote so illegibly that the signature
could not be read, and then wondered
why they did not receive an answer.

much over my condition that l be-

No merchant can refuse to discredit
the value Of advertising Now and
then the truth that it pays to adver
tise is exemplifed quite forcibly. A
local druggist received an answer to
his ad in The Register from a town in
Colorado. He had been advertising
each week a certain medicine and had
finally convinced, among others, the
party in the far west that his article
was worth a trial.
