THIS THIS HOW TO
FIGURE INCOME TAX
Squarely Up to Every Individual
to Get Busy by March 15
or Suffer Penalty.
“Don’t vrait until the final due dote,
March 15, for paying your Income Tax
and making your return. Avoid the
last minute rush. Any person can fig¬
ure out his liability today as well as he
can next week, and if there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get In touch with a Revenue man.”
This word of advice is from Aaron
O. Blalock, Collector of Internal Reve¬
nue, Atlanta, who Is collecting the In¬
come Tax in Georgia. Collector Bla¬
lock is giving without charge every
aid of his office and his enlarged field
force to help the people get their pay¬
ments and their returns In by March
15th.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your coat-tails,
according to the Collector's announce¬
ment. It Is squarely up to every indi¬
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy if he comes within the
scope of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Much?
Every unmarried person who re¬
ceived income averaging $19.25 a week
during 1918 and every married couple
who jointly received Income averaging
$38.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that ha
owes the government
The law requires' that every unmar¬
ried person who had a net income of
$1,000 or over and every married per¬
son whose net income was $2,000 or
over (including the income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, if any) must make a return
on or before March 15th. And this re¬
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes a tax.
Taxable Income. > .
An individual must include under
gross income all gains, profits and in¬
come derived from salaries, wages or
compensation'for personal service of
whatever kind and in whatever form
paid or from professions, vocations,
business, sales or dealings in property
of all kinds, interest, rent, dividends
or profits derived from any source
whatever. Very few items of Income
are exempt.
Deductions include ordinary and nec¬
essary business expenses, interest paid
or accrued on Indebtedness, taxes of
all kinds except Federal income and
excess profits taxes and assessments
for local benefits, losses actually sus¬
tained, debts ascertained to be worth¬
less and depredation on buildings, ma¬
chinery, fixtures, etc., used In business.
A further deduction is allowed for con¬
tributions to corporations operated for
religious, charitable, scientific or edu¬
cational purposes or for the prevention
of cruelty to children or animals to an
amount not exceeding 15 per cent of
the taxpayer’s net Income as computed
without the benefit of the contribution
deduction.
The taxpayer is not allowed to de¬
duct any personal, living or family ex¬
pense, any amount spent for improving
property or any expense of restoring
property or making good its exhaus¬
tion for which an allowance is claimed
under depreciation.
Figuring the Tax.
Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. As in previous years, divi¬
dends of domestic corporations are ex¬
empt from normal tax when received
by the stockholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of
the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
12 per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net in¬
come of each Individual In e xcess of
$5,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the case of re¬
turns by husband and wife, the net in¬
come of each is considered separately
in computing any surtax that may be
due. Form 1040 should be used for
making returns of net Income exceed¬
ing $5,000, and the instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur¬
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and others who paid
wages, salaries, rents, interest or sim¬
ilar determinable gains in an amount
of $1,000 or over during 1918 to any
p’erson must file an information return
with the Government. Blanks may be
secured from the Collector.
Every partnership must file a return
showing its income and deductions and
the name and address of each partner,
with hls share of the profits or losses
during the past year. Personal service
corporations will file similar informa¬
tion for 1918. V

Elephant to Have 8hoes.
An Interesting experiment was re¬
cently tried out in New York city on
De Wolf Hopper’s hippodrome ele¬
phant, Lena, says the Christian Sci¬
ence Monitor. A huge shoe, presum¬
ably made of coarse leather or cow¬
hide, with stout laces of the same ma¬
terial, was tried on the elephant’s foot.
-To put It more correctly, four shoes
were tried on the elephant’s four feet,
in the hope that they will keep Lena’s
feet warm during the cold weather.
Certainly Lena will look very funny,
walking about with these huge shoes
on.
Thoughtless Reconstruction.
Senator Watson, the head of the
committee on reconstruction, said In
an interview: ,
“Hasty reconstruction Is apt to be
thoughtless'^And bad. It Is like the
young drug salesman.
“A lady approached this young
salesman, reddened and said:
“‘My hair Is falling out. Can yon
give me anything for It?’
“’You bet! Sure!’ said the sales¬
man. heartily. ‘How about this toind

WALKER BROS. COMPANY
USES FOR HORNS IN CHINA
put* and MarvC | OUS T on»ea Ar»
Among the Many Thlnga Manu¬
factured From Thom.
Water bufTalo and ox boras in China
are worked into lanterns, some of
strikingly large size and quite trans
parent, says a writer In the Boston
Evening Transcript. They also find
many other uses to China, Including
the manufacture of combs, shoe horns
and backs of hair, tooth and other
brushes. Prior to the antiopium cam¬
paign the principal use made of these
horns was in the manufacture of
opium cups or boxes for packing and
storing opium for home consumption.
• Born lanterns in China are made from
the hoofs as well as the horns of ani¬
mals. Deer, reindeer and mountain
goat horns are valuable to China for
manufacture into medicine, Stag
horns are particularly valuable, but
useful only during a certain time of
the year. From the stag horns piUs
are made that are reputed to have
marvelous tonic and rejuvenating
qualities. About a million pounds of
water buffalo and ox horns and a
thousand pairs of deer horns were ex¬
ported during 1017, the latter prob¬
ably for the medicinal use of Chinese
populations abroad. Ivory ware is pe¬
culiar to Canton. Tuska are imported
from Slam and carved with great skill
and dexterity by the Ivory carvers of
Canton, experts being few to number.
Canton is famous for its elaborately
carved Ivory balls, one within another,
sometimes, to the number of 17, all
carved from without. Thera are about
forty ivory shops to Canton. There
are, however, only six expert carvers.
These work In their own homes And
make about $30 Canton currency a
month (at present exchange about |25
gold), but usually much less.
REAL SECRET OF THE CZECH
Enthusiasm in Everything la One of
the Moot Prominent of Hie
Characteristics.
If you ask the Czech himself, he will
tell you that the secret of his life Is
enthusiasm. He calls it love—love of
country, which lays down life without
question or stint; love of beauty,
without which he considers life stupid,
neither to be lived through with Joy
nor departed from with dignity. In
this esthetic apprehension which we
call by the thin and unsatisfactory
word “taste” the Czech is like the
French—surely he must be likened
sooner or later to the French!—bear¬
ing the mark of a race old in living,
rich in tradition, discerning lu Its ap¬
preciations. He Is, too, a lover of
love, worshiping women; a lover of
life, more Joyous than the Russian,
less light minded than the Gaul. A
lovfer'not of the form, but of the sub¬
stance. Life Is short; youth Is short.
It Is to laugh, to work, to weep, to
think, to love, to be aware of that com¬
plex and everchanging stream of con¬
sciousness. When a Czech dies, some¬
how one feels that one may say of
him what may not be said of every
man, “He is dead, but he has lived.”
If you ask the American he will tell
you that the Czech’s secret is “Allied
ideali with Teuton training.” It Is
his efficiency that endears him to the
American, especially if he Is recuper¬
ating from the Russian army.—Olive
Gilbreath to Harper's Magazine.
Says It Is the Best In the World
There is one remedy that those who
know depend upon for relief from
coughs that “hand on” after the grip.
Foley’s Honey and Tar clears the
passages, soothes raw, inflamed mem¬
branes and banishes irrigation and
tickling in the throat. A. H. McDan¬
iel, Box 51, Lindside, W. Vai, writes:
“I am glad to tel you that Foley’s
Honey- and Tar is the best medicine
in this world. I have had a severe
cough and bfeore I used half a bottle
I was better.” Sold everywhere.
