Much space is being devoted
to the matter of Income Tax, and

ed.
The subject of the inventory
IS. at this time, about to come up
for consideration by the local
merchant, and while this is look,
ed upon as the bug-a-boo at the
end of the years work, it really
must be had for the computation
of all gains or losses.
In 1918 Uncle Sam offered the
option of two methods Of figur-
ing the inventory. You chose
one, and are expected to be con-
sistent and figure the same way
now. However, if you see the
fault of your method, or how you
will make a saving by changing
methods, you may petition the
Commissioner for permission to
make the change decided upon.
We read that some of these peti-
tions are denied when the pur-
pose seems solely to make a gain
by this score.
The two methods were cost"
and "cost or market. whichever
is lower"
Cost" inventory has been de-

Search for Srill Leads to Fight.
Officers Escape Injury by
Accident

Sunday, Deputy Sheriff Will
liams was tippid off that still
had been in operation the night
before at the home OF Jack Box,
a negro who lives few miles
east of Buena Vista. 1t was also
reported that another run was
to be made Sunday night. Think
ing to make a capture, Mr.. Will
liams, accompanied by Constable
Jolly and Marshal Knox, went
out after the violators.
On reaching the scene, they
discovered that there were sew
eral men in the house. Mr.. Jol-
" went to the back door and the
other two entered by the front.
The men were in a side room ON
the back. catering this, they
found one Henry White stand
ing near the door. He refused
to submit to arrest and made
fight, grabbing a shot gun in
the hands of Mr.. Williams,
when a scuffle followed. The
other men in the room made a
dash for the open, two leaving
by the rear and the others by
the front door. Immediately
on gaining the open, two of the
men, one at the rear the other
at the front, opened fire on the
officers who were trying to sub
due Henry White. Mr.. Jolly en-
gagged the man at the rear after
the first shot, and several shots
were exchanged between them
without effect Sc far as is known,
The man at the front, who was
using an automatic, was without
hinderance, but luckily for the
officers his gun jammed and be-
came harmless, when he, too,
fed. In the mean time the
officers had opened fire and
Henry was on the floor mortally
wounded.
After the battle was over, the
sofficers found that the still had
been moved, but some mash was
there and a bottle that had been
but recently emptied. Some
rumors are ahoat that may lead
to the arrest of several parties,
some of them higher up than the
persons who were actively en-
gagged in the business there the
night before.
