What You Should
Know About the
Income Tax

To make it easier for taxpayers to
meet the increased taxes required by
the National Defense Program, the
Treasury Department is offering for
sale two series of notes, both dated
August /, 1941, and maturing Aug
ust l, 1943.
In January of each year two new
series will be provided so that a tax
payer can always purchase notes dur
ing the. entire year in which he is
receiving his income for use in pay
ment of taxes due the following
year. The reason for the two-year
note is to permit a taxpayer, if he
SO desires, to begin saving in Janu-
ary of one year and continue through
that year to save for his taxes due
the following year.
All notes are sold at par and ac-
crued interest. When presented in
payment of income taxes they will
be received at par and accrued in
terest up to and including the month
in which such taxes are paid. Inter
est will not accrue beyond the ma
turity of the notes. If not presented
in payment of income taxes, they
will be redeemed for cash under cer-
tain specified conditions at the pur-
chase price paid for the notes. In
other words, the taxpayer, if he re-
deems the notes for cash, gets back
just the amount he paid.
Complete information about these
Treasury notes,will be found in a
Treasury Department Circular avail
able at local banks, Federal Re-
serve Banks and branches, or Treas
ury Department, Washington, d. G.

Farming predominates

About so per cent of the popuia-
ton of Jugoslavia normally engages
in farming. Industrial activities
play a comparatively minor role.
Leading industries include timber,
milling, tanning, cement, leather
goods. chemicals, steel, brewing
and sugar refining. Most of these
were located in the northern prov
inces Chiefly Slovenia, Croatia
Slavonia and Bosnia). Dalmatia IS
the principal producer Of cement.

Of course you're not superstitious
Or are you-anyway We'll wager
you'll watch next Monday to see
whether the grounding glimpses his
shadow.
With the daylight saving schedule
going into effect in less than two
weeks, Bluffton the first of the week
had only the haziest ideas as to
what adjustments would be neces-
sary to adapt the program to local
conditions. Best guess now is that
schools and colleges will shift their
schedules half-hour later as reck-
oned by the new time, because of
the short days and dark mornings.
If you are required to file an in
get your blank early and fill it out
to the best of your ability. Word
from the internal revenue office at
Lima is that probably scores will be
unable to obtain assistance this year
in making out their returns because
of the large number of additional
taxpayers under the new federal
statute. The best that can be ex-
pected this year is to have your
income tax blank made out and get
attention of the revenue collector
long enough to have him check it.
Special forms are provided for farm
ers and may be obtained at the post
Office or Citizens bank.

And speaking of the Lugibill fam

The horse may be coming back
but prices for horsefiesh thus far
have shown little indication of it,
according to some of the boys who
slipped out to Chicago last week to

from S35 to $3.50. These prices were
described as only fairly good and

War takes a back seat in stu
dent bull sessions.
Love, learning and social life
lin about that order) are topics
of collegiate conversation almost
to the exclusion of the Second
front, the battle for Egypt and
the Solomon Island victories.
Only gradually, painfully and
Iaboriously has war been able 10
intrude itself upon the conscious
ness of most of the 1929 stud
ents in this typical" American
university.
OFFICERS BARS ARE GOAL
The average college male to-
day is a pretty fortunate fellow
If he is physically fit, he is in the
Army Enlisted Reserve, one of
the Navy VS. (1,5 or y, the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps
or the Naval r. o. T. c.
Unless he can wear officers
bars, the services hold little i'm
mediate attraction. Il didn't
come to college to be buck
private" he will tell you. This
viewpoint has been fostered by
the armed forces, which have
told students they must provide
future officer material.
An enlisted reserve status,
removes the bugaboo of
selective service, is a factor IN
student indifference. 1t makes
the war something that follows
college, not an immediate con-
Germ.
Tell the student he is apathetic,
and he will protest that he is no
more so than the locality in
which he lives. What the hell
do you want me to do?" is a
stock reply. I'm doing what
the Army wants me to do This,
he may secretly admit, is won
derful naturalization.
