PAY AND FILE INCOME TAX BEFOREMAR. 15 U. S. Internal Revenue Bureau Gives Warning That Severe Penalties Will Be Enforced. WOMEN WITHIN LAW’S SCOPE; HOW THEY REPORT INCOME The Income Tax drive comes to a close on Saturday night, March 15. All payments and returns due on that date under the provisions of the new Revenue Law must be In hands of local Internal Revenue Collectors be fore their offices close that night. The Income Tax is being collected to meet the war expenses. Every person who shouted and tooted his horn on Armistice Day is now called upon to contribute his share of the cost of win ning the war. The laggards and the dodgers will face severe fines and jail sentences. The Internal Revenue Bureau an nounces that its officers will check us all up to see that every person who comes within the scope of the Income Tax law did his share. Where to Pay and File. Residents of Georgia are required to make their returns and pay their taxes to Aaron O. Blalock, Collector of Internal Revenue, Atlanta, Ga., or to any of the deputy collectors who are now doing free advisory work on Income Tax. Payments sent by mall should be at tached to the returns and should be in the form of check, money order or draft. Cash payments by mail are sent at the taxpayer’s risk of loss. If you are unable to make your re turn personally because of illness, ab sence or incapacity, an agent or legal representative may make your return. If there are any doubtful points as to your items of income or allowable de ductions, you should get in touch at once with a Revenue officer or a bank er for advice. Women Pay Tax. Women are subject to all the require ments of the Income Tax. Whether single or married, a woman’s income from all sources must be considered. If unmarried, or if living apart from her husband, she must make her re turn for 1918 if her net income was SI,OOO or over. If married and living with her hus band, her Income must be considered with the husband’s in determining the liability for a return. Their joint in come, less the credits allowed by law. is subject to normal tax. The wife’s net income Is considered separately in computing any surtax that may be due. Husband and wife file jointly, as a rule. If the husband does not Include his wife’s income in his return, the wife must file a separate return. Severe Penalties. The new Revenue Law places severe penalties on a person who fails to make return on time, refuses to make return or renders a fraudulent return. For failure to make return and pay tax on time a fine of not more than SI,OOO Is named, and 25 per cent of the tax due is added to the assessment. For refusing wilfully to make return, or for making a false or fraudulent re turn there is a fine of not exceeding SIO,OOO and imprisonment of not ex ceeding one year, or both. Farmers’ Income Taxable. Every farmer and ranchman who had a fair or a good year In 1918 must heed the Income Tax this year. He must consider all his income as tax able. He is entitled to deduct from his gross income all amounts expended In carrying on his farm. The cost of farm machinery, farm buildings and improvements cannot be deducted. The cost of live stock, either for re sale or for breeding purposes, is also regarded as investment. Overtime and Bonuses Taxed. Salary and wage earners must con sider as taxable every item received from employeers and from other sources. Bonuses and overtime pay are to be reported, as well as the regu lar payments. Allowances for Losses. Losses sustained in 1918 and not cov ered by Insurance are deductible items If Incurred in the taxpayer's business or trade, in any transaction under taken for profit, or arising from fire, storm, shipwreck or other casualty, or from theft ★*★*★★★*********** ★ * * SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY * * INCOME TAX PAYER * * * * Washington, D.

New York, Feb. ... —Lieutenant George Puryear, of Memphis, Tenn., an aviator, was one of a trio of hardy American adventurers who were sue cessful in a wild dash for liberty from the Villingen prison camp on October 6. Sixteen men made the attempt, but only Puryear, Lieutenant Harold Willis of Boston, and Naval Lieuten ant Isaacs of Portsmouth, Va., got away. Word has just been received at Y. M. C. A. headquarters here con cerning their almost hopeless esca pade. The men brought back remarkable accounts of Y. M. C. A. work even at Villingen. "The ‘Y’ sent us books of all kinds and even sporting goods,” said Lieut Puryear. “We played basketball and volley ball incessantly—our space was too small for baseball and football. 1 tell you, those games were life stivers to us, and they kept us in fair physi cal condition.” It is reported that Puryear and his comrades slipped out of the camp through a tunnel under the wire. All but the three named were headed off before they reached the river Rhine, but the intrepid trio swam the river— a terrible feat in itself —and made their way into Holland. MONEY SENT HOME BEFORE JIG BATTLE Doughboys “Cleaned Pockets” for Home Folks, When Return From Fight Was Uncertain. Y. M. C. A Has Delivered Millions of Dollars For Amex. Paris, Feb. ... —The steady unsel fishness of the American soldier, shown by the way he “cleaned his pockets’ of money before going into action, to be sent home if he didn’t come back, is told by W. J. Baker of Portchester, N. Y., who served eleven months as a Y. M. C. A. worker with the 26th Division. His particular charge was the third battalion of the 103rd infantry. He joined that unit on the St. Mihiel front, went with them to Chateau Thierry, and later was in the famous St. Mihiel clean-up and the drive before Verdun. “It was just before that action be gan,” said Baker, “that I saw the finest example of the characteristic unselfish ness of the boys. They ‘cleaned their pockets’ for the folks at home. They knew they were going up against the real tiling, and they wanted all their money to go home in case they never came back. In all, I was entrusted with 8,000,000 francs upwards of $1,500,000 before that attack. W< handled such funds through the regu lar Y. M. C. A. service established for sending money from soldiers to rela tlves in America.” Baker lived with his battalion, and saw' lively times, as the “Yankee Division,” as it was called, was kept on the fighting front almost continu ously. Busy At Work On Plans For Great Victory Loan Atlanta. Feb. ...—Headquarters of the Sixth Federal Reserve District in Atlanta is almost as busy as though the campaign were actually under way. A vast amount of preliminary work has been made necessary by the indi vidual quota system to be tried out for the first time in the South. Tha "fair and square” idea is to be carried out in this, every citizen being assigned a quota based on his tax returns and income. If he regards the quota as unjust, he has the right of appeal to an adjustment committee. The fifth, or “Victory” Loan will be necessary if the United Slates is to finish the job it started. The war did not end with the signing of the armis tice. It will not end even with the conclusion of the peace terms. The war will not be over until ths bills are paid, and it is up to the people of the United States to pay them—to feed the soldiers and bring them home. The United States had barely begun to fight when the armistice was sign ed, but it had prepared for war on an enormous scale. This was probably one of the reasons Germany quit so suddenly—she saw that Unci* Sam was going to war on a big scale. And now the bills must be paid, either by taxation or investment. A Victory bond will be of much more value to all of us than a stack of tax reeoipta. Men With Rig. Wanted to sell Rawleigh Prod ucts. Established demand. Large profi.s, healthy, pleasant, perma nent.
