Income Tax Due Soon
Income tax returns arc duo Jan
uary 1, 1020. The last date of filing
will be March 15, 1920. Blanks for
making icturns will be mailed before
January 1st, 1920, to every in
dvidua!, corporation and partnership
that filed a return for the year 1918,
so all will have ample time in which
to file complete return within the time
proscribed by law.
Those required to file returns should
compile their figures immediately on
tho close of busness, December 31,
while the trursactions of 1919 are all
fresh in mind. It will save time for
you and all concerned.
Reprcsentntvcs of the Internal Rev
enue Department will visit all towns,
where the number of returns filed
warrants doing so, to assist taxpay
ers in making returns. There will be
but one visit to each place find no re
turn. Taxpayers are urged to avail
themselves of this service. Watch tho
newspapers for announcement of when
the income tax man will bo at your
nearest town. He will be there only
on the dates announced.
Vc will begin this service promptly
on the morning of January 2, 1920.
Your town may bo the first on the
list, so be prepared.
Every singlo person whoso net in
come is $1000 and ever' married por
tion whoso net incoluo in $2000 mus:
make an ncomc tax return. There are
penalties for failure to do so.
Those who did not mnko returns
for the year 1918 hould request the
Collector of Inlern.it Revenue, Omaha,
Kehr., to send a blank on which lo
make return. Those who made returns
in 1918 will bo mailed returns, but
should not one bo received by January
10, 1920, write the Collector to send
you one.
The law contemplates that taxpay
ers make tlioir own income tax re
turns. If you want assistance, you
should avail yourself of tho sorriccs
of the income tax mar. when he is in
your vicinity.
Make your return at the earliest
date possiblo as you may find it in
convenient to do so later. Tho Intern
al Revenue Department can render
greater and more effcient servico if
taxpayers will act promptly and pre
pare their figures in ndvanco. If you
want an income tax man to help you
mnko out your return, hrwc your fig
ures and books of account with you.
It will save time.

Helpfulness of Criticism.
It Is natural to resent criticism. We
dislike anything that shakes our self
complacency or compels us to think.
Here and there n man has learned Iho
real service of criticism and usually
he Is a man who has attained to more
than average success in life. We are
nil more or less like the proverbial os
trich. We like to convince ourselves
that our faults are really our virtues.
In thnt wo are doing good work In the
woild when in truth wo are lugging

drifting along rather than really liv
