INCOME TAX CLAIMS.
Atlanta, Ga., March 12—Did you
over-pay your income tax in the year
1918? Did you know that the time
limit for making claims for a refund
expires on the 15th of the present
month ?
Frank Hempstead, well known tax
counsellor of Atlanta, has called at
tention to this important feature of
the federal income tax acts.
“If a taxpayer has any reason to
believe that he over-paid his income
taxes fo rthe year 1918, it is impera
tive that he file a claim for refund
before March 15th, 1924, with the
collector of his district, so that he
automatically opens an avenue of ex
tending the time in which to adjust
his claims,” said Mr, Hempstead.

USING UP THE NEWSPRINT.
The year 1923 set a new high re
cord for the consumption of news
print paper in the United States, ex
ceeding the year 1920 by about 28
per cent and the year 1922 by about
15 per cent. Total net consumption
amounted to approximately 2,800,000
tons, of which mills in the United
States produced 1,506,204 tons. This
production was practically all con
sumed in the United States, our ex
port shipments during the year being
only approximately 16,360 tons. To
make up the balance we imported

well as 200,450 tons from the Euro
pean mills.

the Joy of doing a workman like Job
