TRUTH TO TEIiD The Griffin News and Sun: Why must people go through life living and telling a perpetual lie? Why not the truth? For instance: If your neighbor is lazy, and his wife earns the living, and his children are hungry and half-clothed, why not tell them so? If you think public officials are inefficient, and grafting, and misrepresenting theiy constituents, why not tell fhom ?r? * ^ If Mrs. So and So ambles along the streets exposing a yard or so of her leg, why not stop her and tell her so? If Miss Pertness has her face smeared with powder, why wait for the wind to blow ii off? Why not tell her she is a freak? If you have been making love to a young stenographer, and your wife suspects you, why lie about it? Why not tell the truth? If you want a friend to endorse your note, ana you Know van nv. er pay, why not tell him. so? If Miss Dimple looks like a scarecrow and you want to marry her money, why tell her she is a sylph and an angel, and all of that rot? What'S the matter with the truth? If you are selling a spavined horse and yoil know it will fall to pieces before the purchaser can lead it home, why not tell him so? If you owe the grocer and the editor and you never expect to pay them, why hot tell them so when you place your next order? If you drop a nickel in the 'collection box, and you expect your generosity to boost you into choice seat in heaven, why hide your light under a cloak of modesty? Why not get up % and t$ll the congregation so? What's the use of living or .telling a lie, anyway? Isn't the truth good enough?

Complete returns, accompanied by at least one tfourth of the amount of tax due must be in the hands of Collectors of Internal Revenue on or before March 15th, 1920. Extensions will be granted only in specific cases where urgeriv. j need for additional time in preparing i the return is shown. ' Last year, if for good and sufficient reasons it was found impossible to complete a return by March 15th. Jl A ( I ' WE(H< * * of a c i ?the wag hardwood j| and hickoi |jl These are many pate oldstandai Not the low p the end the c h' - f" . r - s. 1413 ^Assembly Street k ? corporations and individuals were permitted to file on or before that da v. a tentative return and were given an extension of forty five days in which to file a complete return. Conditions which justified such extensions last year do not exist this year. Regulations governing the collection of the income tax have been out for almost a year and no substantial changes have been made in them. Forms are now in the hands of Collectors of Internal Revenue for distribution among taxpayers and there is every- reason to assume that the taxpayers have ample time in which to prepare and file their returns by March 15th. INCOME TAX PAYMENTS "Cash payments of income taxes should not be sent by mail." says Collector of Internal Revenue, D. C. Heyward. "Cash sent by mail is always at the owner's risk of loss: and if lost or stolen, the sender may find himself facing penalties for failure to pay his tax on time. "A taxpayer will find it more prac tical to purchase a post office money order, or draw a check for the amount of the tax, payable to the Collector of Internal Revenue, D. C: Heyward. "The first payment, due on or before March 15th, should be attached securely to the completed return, ana forwarded or delivered to my office at The Palmetto National Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. This first paym.ent must cover either the entire tax shown to be due, or at least one fourth of the tax due. ."Early payments and early filing of returns is urged, in order that an overload on the final date, March 15th, may be avoided."
