5 DOUBLE HOLIDAYS
ON 1921 CALENDAR
Observance Will Include Sunday
Where Dates Fall On Saturday
Sunday or Monday.

When old Father Time deals out
the days for 1921, persons who OBJ
serve legal holidays will find they
hold winning hand of five double
holidays.
This is because New Years day,
and Lincoln's birthday, February L.
fall on Saturday; Christmas on Sum
day, and independence Day, July 4,
and Labor Day, September 5, on
Monday. In cases where a legal holt
day falls on Saturday, a double is
formed with the Sunday following:
where one falls on Sunday, it is OBJ
served illegally" on Monday, and
when on Monday, a double" is form
ed with the preceding Sunday.
The 1921 almanac shows that there
will be four eclipses, two of the sun
and two of the moon. There will be:
Annular eclipse of the sun April Z;
total eclipse of the moon, April 2122;
total eclipse Of the sun, October l;
partial eclipse of the moon, October
10th.
The church calendar shows: Ash
Wednesday, the beginning of the len
ten season, is February 9; Palm Sun

It May Save You Any Amount o.
Hurry And Worry
Later On.

Machinery for the collection of 1872
income tax has been creased and pu
in order by Internal Revenue Depart
ments, although the tax return blank!
will no. be available before February
/. But the taxpayers should begi'
figuring "early in the game" an
avoid the crush which always come:
~about the last days on which the tai
may be paid.
The work will begin in earnest a
bout February l and the filing Of re
turns, will continue to March Is, The
"dead line".
1t is not believed the amount Of
tax will be as great this year as ii
1920 hereabout.
Corporations must file their returns
whether doing business or not provid
ed their charter is intact. Not until
they surrender their charter are they
exempt from filing the return.
Partnerships, whether they have
made money or not, are compelled to
file returns, although not assessable
the partners will pay the tax, but the
returns for the partnership must be
made.
The Democrat suggests to all farm
ers that they begin now to make up a
statement of their profits and eXpen-
ses.
He may, regardless Of his past
practice, adopt the basis of cost or
or market. for 1920 inventory, but
whichever he adopts this same prac-
tice must be pursued in the future; if
this years inventory is based on the
market value of goods, all future in
ventories must be made on market
value. If on the cost value, future
inventories must show this basis.
Charges can be made only by per-
mission of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue.
Income tax forms will be distribut-
ed about February 1. From that time
until March Is returns may be made
lnSly and late.
Any single person who is head of a
nily and whose income is $1,000

hen get the exemption which follows
In case of dependents.
We suggest that the public prepare
all necessary figures as soon as pos
sible and make returns without I'M
necessary delay, as the earlier they
are commenced the more deliberate
the taxpayer can be in making out
his return.
