The * form 1040A is used for reporting in¬ come of $5,000 or less derived chief¬ ly from salaries or wages. Forms have been sent to persons who last year filed returns of income. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve the taxpayer irom ms obligation to file a return and pay tne tax within the timt prescrioeu, on or before March 15, 1925. Copies of the k orms may be obtained from offices of collectors of internal revenue and branch offices. The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the re turn, or in four equal installments, due on or before March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. The taxpayer must include in his income-tax return for the year 1924 .11 items of gross income specified by .aw. in the case of a storekeeper, gioss income usually consists of gross profits on sales, together with income from other sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases and cost of goods sold. The professional man, lawyer, doctor, dentist, must include all fees and other compensa¬ tion received from professional serv¬ ices.

Ho must report also gross ■come from all other sources, such as rentals or profits from the sale of farm lands. Net income, Upon which the tax is assessed, is gross income less certain deductions for business, expenses, losses, bad debts, contributions, etc. To take full advantage of the deduc lions to which entitled taxpayers should read carefully the instructions on the form under the heads of “In come from business or profession. Net income, upon which the income tax is assessed, is gloss income less . ertain specified deductions for busi¬ ness expenses, losses, contributions, bad debts, etc. A storekeeper may deduct as a business expense«amounts spent for rent of his place of busi¬ ness, advertising, premiums for insur ance against fire or other losses, cost of water, light, and heat used in his place of busines drayage and freight bills, and the cost of main¬ tenance and repair tot delivery wag ons and trucks, and a reasonable al lowance for salaries. • A professional man, such as a law¬ yer, doctor, or dentist, may deduct the cost of supplies used in his pro¬ fession, expenses paid in the opera¬ tion and repair of automobiles used in making professional calls, dues to professional journals, office rent, ost of water, light, and heat used in his office, and the hire of office as > istants.

BROWN The drop curtain of time has again v been lowered in our community and > great life has passed from the stage of action going on to his re¬ ward. I write this tribute to the memory of my friend, Mr. W. R. Brown, not that it will affect his eternal destiny but because having ueen the beneficiary of his helping hand I would be an ingrate to re¬ gain silent and let the world go on m ignorance as to his many virtues. I have known Mr. Brown for more than fifty years and during that long period I never knew him to withhold a helping hand from anyone who tyas worthy of his aid or assis¬ tance. Nor have I ever known him to take advantage of any mans misfoi tune to benefit himself. I know there are those wno criti ci ised him for the manner of his liv¬ ing but I accord the right to cen .sure him to those only whose lives ^^vere superior to bis and not to a At of self-righteous pharisees who never did anything but sit in the mar ket places and find fault with the fellow who by his energy and econo- Xi $ £ OFFICIAL Fort ;>!

He has made it possible for quite a few who with¬ out his assistance would have failed and it was always just 8</, without commission, and after forty years of lending thousands and thousands of dollars he never foreclosed on a single man or woman who borrowed of him. There has been many a one preached to heaven who did not do half as well. There were a few tears shed when he died and those tears moisten the eyes of I those who loved him for his kindness to them and not tears of regret that he died indebted to them. He “visited widows and orphans and did not forget to keep himself unspotted from the world.” His visi¬ tations always left them richer in¬ stead of poorer for his having gone. I can understand why Saul of Tar¬ sus had such a terrible experience on his memorable .trip to Damascus— but why so many modern apostles were allowed since his, day to go on ■■IX, d persecute the saint, is beyond my can but I am reminded that God moves in a mysterious way His won lers to perform. Mr. Brown’s crowning virtues were his fine sense of honor and his be¬ coming modesty. No man can ever say that W. R. Brown ever took aught from him unjustly or over failed to pay a just debt promptly. ‘yy-!' y.vy W'J'i' v > -V 'V •v ^ | OPEN NOSTRILS!

He never felt that God wanted to draft him for some political office but was content to move and have his being in the humbler walks of life. His life was constructive rather than destructive. He helped rather than hindered and those who found fault with his supposed lack of charity be¬ long to that great army who would be charitable if they were able but who were never able. I can not indulge in a more help¬ ful wish for the young men of today t j,, m that they will emulate his vir¬ tues, forgetting his faults. I deem it a great honor to he able to subscribe myself as his friend, O. M. HOUSER. The site of Portsmouth. N. If., was once involved in a unique law suit. Samuel Allen, London merchant, lat¬ er governor of New Hampshire, had bought a 60-mile tract. The settlers disputed his claim and the matter re¬ mained in the courts until all of Al¬ len's family had died. He died in 1705. Ah!

Don’t be handicapped by a bad back look to your kidneys. You will make no mistake by following this Ameri cus resident’s example. Mrs. J. P. Braswell, 901 Elmo St., Americus, Ga., says: “The first symp¬ tom of kidney trouble in my case was lame back several years ago.

When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drink ing lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of J.a'd Saits.
