Preparation of Income
Tax Report Explained
to Local Club Members

Preparation of an income tax or ex-
cess profits tax report, was discussed
at length at the Kiwanis meeting
Thursday noon, by NJ. D. Hutchings,
internal revenue inspector, of Indian
apolis.
Preceding Mr.. Hutchings' address,
vocal solos were given by Ernest
Renk. Evident appreciation for Mr..
Renk's offerings were shown by the
club men.
1t was decided to observe Ladies'
night, Wednesday. March 80. This
feature of the club was successfully
handled several months ago.
Opening his talk with a recounting
Of the history of the income tax law
i beginning with the first, approved

including the present one, passed in

ed Mr.. Hutchings. The 1913 act was
in effect until 1915. On Sept s. 1916
new law was approved and made re
! troactive to Jan. 1. 1916. 1t was very
{ simple, levying a straight two per cent
on income. The thing which has made
the tax reports so difficult is that each
year new law has been made, just
when one is becoming familiar with
the previous one.
THE present law, however is the
same as that passed for 1919, which
greatly simplifies the making Of the
present report
! Mr.. Hutchings said that he is otter
asked when the excess profits tax will
! be abolished, but as the United States
government is in need of the revenue
derived from the tax. because of heavy
war expenditures, he was unable tc
predict its rescission.
! Questions were asked by individuals
! interested in particular cases. 1t was
necessary for the usual time allowed

provide time in which to meet tine
! questions of members
A rising vote of thanks for the "in
teresting and helpful talk by Mr.

Mr.. Renk, was given by the club

coffee. given by Mr.. Tracy, as an at

(By Associated Press)


BERLIN, Feb. 24.-Formality and
ceremony received a number OF rath-
err rough jolts during a tour OF Ger
many just completed by Is America n
farmer boys who came to this country
with a shipload of mich COWS given
to Germany by farmers in the United
States. The young men have returned
to Berlin after a trip of IL days to
many of the principal cities of the
country during which they saw Ger
many and her people and enjoyed
themselves in their own way.
The Americans are natives of Indi-
ana, Kansas and Texas, and they
brought to this country the unconven'
tional atmosphere of their prairles
Reception committees which gathered
frock-coated. silk-hatted delegation
were astonished to see the breezy
Americans swarm off their special car
and, ignoring dignified burgomasters
and officials, extend their hands in
greeting to farmers, shouting: 'You
fellows work; your hands are cal
loused"
Americans Astonish Germans
In some places there was outspoken
establishment at the unconventiona
manner of the Americans and theil
disregard of the feelings of high Off
Gals, but w. E. Schmidt. representa-
tive of the German Red Cross. who &C
companied the Americans, was al
ways at hand to explain matters.
Germans don't understand them,
he said today. "They are awfully de
cent fellows, and polite in their way
too. Every man in a party riding or
a street car last night got up anG
promptly gave women their seats. The
Germans OH board kept their seats
! The trouble was merely a matter o.
viewpoint
Tell Wonderful Stories
! Stories of the tremendous size o.
| farms in the Mississippi valley were

could not refrain from narrating some

about the man whose farm was 81
large that he began planting corn a
! one end of field in the spring an(
| found before he reached the other enc
that the corn harvest had begun. Her
| Schmidt retaliated by promising t.
show them the field of Templehof
near Berlin, where people equipped
i with spoons go out in the morning tt
fill their buckets with maple syrup.
The only unpleasant incident oc

the quick rejoinder from Kansas
and the matter was abruptly dropped
No Germans were permitted to en-
ter the Americans car. although afte
! the first few days all fear of antagon
ism vanished.
! Asked if what they had seen woul'
