With the issuance of blank forms by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the open season on income tax re- turns has begun Every single man whose income exceeded $1,OOO and every married man whose income was more than $2,0oe in the fiscal year 1919 Is required to make return before March 1S- When the town clock booms the hour of twelve on the night of March 5 all those who have failed to make a return and the first payment of their tax are subject to the penalties provided for by the income tax law.
 Special efforts are being extended by the internal revenue bureau to instruct all who are subject to the income tax in the proper manner of making a return, as many make themselves subject to penalty through lack of knowledge of the workings of the law
 Many Have Paid Penalty.
 Last year thousands of persons, ot- ficials of the bureau state, filed incor- rect tax returns with unquestioned honesty of purpose Twenty thou sand persons paid a fine of s each for failure to file an income tax re- turn for 1918, although their income for that year was not taxable
 Probably the most important change in the tax law of February 24, 1919, known az the revenue act of 1918 and covering the payment of in come taxes for 1919 and subsequent years, Is in the normal rate, the ex- captions of s1 900 for single persons and heads of families remaining the game as for 191S-
 The normal rate for 1919 is per cent on the first s40oo of net income above the exemptions and per cenr. on the remaining net income The normal rate for 1918 was and 12 per cent respectively This applies to every citizen and resident of the United States. Alien non-reSidents re- ceiving income from sources within the United States are taxed to the full s per cent on the income iron, such resources
 The surtax rates, which range frorr l per cent on the amount of net in. come between S5,oO0 and s6,e0O to S; per cont on the amount of income fl excess of $1,OoO,co0 remain un changed
 Four instaunenfs.
 The tax, as in 1919, may be paid 1T full at the time of filing the return in four instaIlments, the first 0 which is due on or before March IS second, on or before June 15; third on or before September 15 and tn last on or before December 15
 The first instalIment must accom- pany the fling of the return. Heav penalties are prescribed for person who fail or "wil1fulIy refuse to fl their returns and pay the tax within the time provided.
 Forms for making returns may b obtained from offices of collectors c internal revenue and deputy colIec tors, post offices and banks. If tn Income of the taxpayer for 1919 wa less than $5,000 he should ask fo Form 1040A; If, it was more tha $5,O00. Form 1040 is the proper on,

THE IMPROVIDENT
 GRAY SQUIRREL

''The gray squirrel is an improvident fellow, enjoying the profusion which one season furnishes, but taking no steps to privde for the time when food will be scarce and hard to get" writes Arthur F. Rice in the January issue of Boys Life. "He is so much like the Inndian in this respect that it would be interesting to know which first get the bad example for the other
 It is possible, however, that he makes a mental note of where the nuts dropped, for he seems to know just where to dig for them in the winter. He is luxurious in his tastes, and tir- ing of his winter quarters, generally builds for himself a cool and airy sum mer cottage of leaves, possibly with some sanitary motives in view. Whether his wife stays awhile after he leaves tiieir home in the hollow tree and cleans house against their next winters occupancy. I have yet to learn. I do believe, however, that 1 the male squirrel is the carpenter of the family and takes the contract for 1 building, because, recently I discov- ] cred him in the act. The nest in a 1 tall chestnut was nearly completed
 and was as big as half bushel.
 He made hasty trips to the top o1
 the tree where the leaves were thick 1 cut off half a dozen with his teetf
 and ran down to the nest, going some
 times inside with them and again ad
 justing the outside, examining hi: 1 work critically but apparently witt a. self satisfied air. If I had the timt ! I should have waited to see the resul of this house building, to learn wheth

 it, or whether he was merely furnish

ITS TIME TO PAY INCOME TAXES,
 NATION AND STATE REMIND US
If You Are Single and Make More Than $10o0 You're Elected-H Married You Must Pay
 All Over $2,O00

Every person is supposed to de- termine for himself whether his net income for 1919 was $1,0o0 or more A widow or widower is classed as single person and so is a man or wo- man living apart from wife or hus- band. If a man was married and lty- ing with his wife on December 31, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $2,000 or more. In his net income he must include that of his wife and minor children.
 Officials Offer Aid.
 Each of the forms issued contains instructions for preparing and filing the return A work sheet is also pro vlded for use in making the original computations Any person not certain of any point in his or her individual case should inquire at the office of the the nearest deputy collector Or revenue agent, who will render the desired aid without cost Any internal revenue officer will also administer the necessary oath without charge.
 Collector William H. Edwards fol the New York district is making ar especial appeal for accuracy in filing returns here The work of hand1ing New York's portion of the 3,00o,0 or more returns expected in the coun- try is so great that carelessness o1 inaccuracy in making the return leads to great difficulties.
 And while the worrying taxpayer i! attempting to comply with Collector Edwards's request he is invited no to forget the federal income tax: little pal, the state income tax re turn, which is also due.
