NOBLE COUNTY
FARMERS MUST
FILE RETURNS
County Agent Brown
Has Arranged Help
In Making Report

Noble County farmers, whose in
come amounted to $500, must file a
return this year, according to Coun-
ty agent George L. Brown. This is
in accordance with the Internal Rev.
enue act, although many individuals
may not have to pay, since expenses
in production can be deducted from
income.
There has been no change made in
the income tax regulations for 1945
but changes have been discussed ov-
er the radio and in the press and
they apply to income received after
January l, 1946.
Farmers are required to file an
estimate of their income and ex-
penses for 1945 by January Is, of
1916. Further provision is made that
final return may be filed by farm
ers by January Is and in this case
no estimate is required to be pre-
pared. Farmers may file an estimate
of their income on January Is and
have the privilege of filing their
final return up until March Is, 1916.
Provision has been made by the
extension service to provide assist
ance to farmers in solving this prob
lem. Attention should be called To
the fact that those who wait until
the last, to prepare their returns,
will be considerably inconvenienced
This inconvenience can be largely a.
voided, if arrangements are made tc
prepare these returns the first few
days in January rather than waiting
until about January Is. Farmers
should come to those assisting them
with definite figures on receipts and
expenses.
Charles L. Dyer will be in his of,
flee over the Kroger store each day
to assist farmers with income tax
returns and Edwin L. Crum will be
at the place named at the following
time:
Wednesday, January 2 - Jack.

FORMER COUNTY
IS
NAMED PRELATE
Investiture Will
Be Held Early
This Year

According to an announcement
made by the Most Rev. Bishop John
K. Mussio, D. D., of the Steuben-
vile diocese, Rev. Joseph Gilbert
Mehler, pastor of the st. Sylves-
ter's church of Woodsfield, was one
of our priests named domestic pre-
late by His Holiness, Pope Plus XII.
The appointment was effective
Thursday, Dec. 20.
The recipient of the honor, which
carries with it the title of Rt. Rev.
Monsignor, was notified Immediately
by Bisho, Mussio. The other newly
designated prelates are the Rt. Rev.
Monsignor Willi..m Robben, pastor
of St. Mary's church, Marietta; Rt.
Rev. Monsignor Joseph F. Dooley,
Mingo Junction; and the Rt. Rev
Monsignor Stephen A. Yanto, Bar
ton. The honor has been bestowed
upon these priests in recognition of
their long and faithful years of ser
vice as pastors.
Monsignor Mehler, a native of
Sharon, Pa, received his education
in St. Joseph's monastery, Baltimore,
Nd, and St. Michael's monastery,
Union City, N. j., and was ordained
to the priesthood in Newark, N. j.,
on June 4, 1898.
His first charge was as an assist
ant at Our Lady of Angels parish,
Barton, in which capacity he served
four years. In years following, Mon
signor Mehler served as pastor of
st. Henry's church, Harriettsville,
and st. Mi.haels church, Berne.
From 1923 until 1929 he acted as
pastor of Assumption church,
Barnesville, and since 1929 he has
been in charge of st. Sylvester's
church, Woodsfield.
Recently, Monsignor Mehler was
selected dean of clergymen for the
section of the Steubenville diocese
comprising counties of Noble, Guern-
sey, Monroe, and Morgan by Bishop
Mussio.
This most recent elevation to do
mestic prelate of Monsighor Mehler
! as provided by release from the
Apostolic delegation in Washington,
was received by his many friends
and close acquaintance in Noble
county as an indication that the
work accomplished by him is a man.
Hesitation of his true sincerity of the
vocation which he chose.
Monsignors Dooley and Robben
are both favorably known in Catho-
lie circles of Noble county, partic-
ularly the former, who was closely
associated with Rev. Stephen J. Pc
kalla, pastor of st. Philomena's
church, during Rev. Pekalla's prep
aratory days for the priesthood.
No date for the investiture of the
four domestic prelates has been set.
The ceremony will probably take
place in the early months of this
year.
