Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to 'aid taxpayers in making out their re turns. The date of their arrival and the location of their offices may be ascertained by inquiring at offices of collectors og internal revenue, post offices and banks. Failure to see these officers, however, does not re lieve the taxpayer or his obligation to file his - return and pay his tax within the time specified by law. In this case taxpayers must seek the Government, not the Government the taxpayer. ---0 Shipping Association Successful A cooperative shipping association, formed in August, 1918, by members of the farm bureau of Linn County, Oreg., has shipped 26 carloads of live stock from six towns.
