What You Should
Know About the
Income Tax

Forms for filing returns of income
for 1941 have been sent to persons
who filed returns last year. Failure
to receive a form, however, does not
relieve a taxpayer of his obligation
to file his return and pay the tax
on time-on or before March is if
the return is made on the calendar
year basis, as is the case with most
individuals.
Form may be obtained upon re
quest, written or personal, from the
offices of collectors and from deputy
collectors of internal revenue in the
larger cities and towns.
A person should file his return on
Form 1040, unless his gross income
for 1941 does not exceed $4,000 and
consists wholly of salary, wages, or
other compensation for personal
services, dividends, interest, rent, an
nuities, or royalties, in which event
he may elect to file it on Form
1040A, simplified form on which
the tax may be readily ascertained
by reference to a table contained in
the form.
The return must be filed with the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer has
his legal residence or principal place
of business on or before midnight of
March Is, 1912. Tax may be paid
in full at the time of filing the re-
turn or in four equal installments,
due on or before March is, June Is,
September Is, and December Is.
In making out your income tax
return read carefully the instruc-
tions that accompany the form. If
you need more information, it may be
obtained at the office of the collector
of internal revenue, deputy collector,
or an internal revenue agent in
charge.
Remember that single persons or
married persons not living with hus-
band or wife, who earn as much as
$14.43 week for the So weeks of
the year, and married persons living
together who have aggregate earn
ings of as much as $2885 a week
for the year, are required to file re-
turns.

Two crushing, one-sided victories
were scored by Bluffton High cagers
in play of the last weekend with
Celina and Wapakoneta.
Opening their defense of the
Western Buckeye league cage title
which they won last year, the Pr
rates smothered Celina, 81 to 16,
last Friday night on the Bluffton
court.
In a game with Wapakoneta on
the following night at that place, the
Dillermen crushed the Indians, AZ
to 21, for their fifth decisive vic
tory in a row.
So far this season, the Pirates
have been successful in all but one
of seven contests, and after an un-
certain start eliminated by defeat in
their second game, the locals have
been travelling at better than a
point a minute clip.
Celina was hopelessly outelassed
from the opening whistle, and Bluff
ton at the end of the first quarter
was setting the pace, IL to A. The
halftime score was 90 to 10, and at
the close of the third quarter the
Dillermen had a 81 to IA lead.
Only one field goal, representing
two lone points, was made by Celina
in the fourth quarter, and in con-
trast Bluffton's first and second
stringers were tallying Is points.
Russ Gratz set torrid scoring
pace with II counters; Cooney had
IL and Rich Gratz racked up nine.
Bluffton also took an early lead at
Wapakoneta when they met their
second Buckeye. league foe.

Although there is no shortage of
raw cotton, certain cotton fabrics
such as sheeting and denim are hard
to get. Rayon manufacturing facil-
tiles are inadequate to meet current
demands. Expansion in the rayon
industry may be delayed by short
ages of materials needed for in
creasing plant capacities and of
chemicals needed in production.

they would total approximately eight billion dollars a year. | The treasury department plans for financing the war call for the Am erican people to devote an average of 10 per cent of their incomes to War Bond purchases. It will be noted that the tabulation, based upon the treasury's advisory pro- gram, suggests savings of approxi- mately 10 per cent in the middle of the income schedule, slightly less from those of small incomes, slight ly more from those above the $60 mark.
 One thing should be added to this presentation. That is a showing of the advantages to the individual of the interest earnings on these ap- preciation bonds.
 To get the amount that each indi- vidual will have at the maturity period, add one-third to each figure shown in the last column.
 toCi iCo F. bOiiuo Celll JllC iuSiicoo interest rate. The largest amount that can be purchased in any one year is $5,0O0, which is enough to provide for 99 per cent of those who depend upon wages or salaries for income.
 Series F and c bonds, offered to larger investors, carry lower interest rates. Yet corporations and indi- viduals, with large amounts of cap ital at their disposal, have actually made larger investments in F and c bonds, combined, than the gen. eral public mas made in the more attractive Series E bonds, accord ing to treasury department reports as of May 1.
 That picture is changing. Since January l, Series E totals have been pulling ahead or F and G. They will go still farther ahead as more men and women depending upon wages and salaries recognize that bond purchases spell both patriotism and personal advantage.
 Some congressman regard volun- tary savings as ineffective and are proposing program of enforced savings. It will not be necessary if the average American recognizes what the present program means, to the nation and to himself, and acts in the light Of that Knowledge.

 Alaska is Uncle Sam's front porch in this war on the Pacific And may be you think Alaska don't know it!
 They also know how the war is to be won-not by lay advice on mili- tary strategy and tactics-but by saying it with bonds.
 If there were any place in the country where everyone might be expected to know something about the technical aspects of modern war it would be Sitka-location of the first naval air base to be established in the territory and today teeming' hive of martial activity.
 And what are the people of Sitka doing? Digging into their pockets 10 pay for series of full-page ads, published in newspapers elsewhere in Alaska, to carry this message to all Alaskans:
 Buy War Bonds and more of them.'
 Contractors, local business houses and organized labor have all been contributing to the cause. And we like particularly the presentation of the Sitka Central Labor Council
 It includes, in simple tabular form, the quota of War Bond investments suggested by Sitka labor for men and women who depend upon wages and salaries for their income.
 Here, in slightly condensed form, is the table:
