In view of the fart that the whole world is demanding the agricultural products of the American farmer, now is his golden opportunity, not only to show his patriotism but an opportun ity to acquire weaitn at tne same time.

C., December 12, 1917. ?You won't have to figure out your income tax all by yourself hereafter. The government is going to send out men t.o help you. It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sen: other towns besides, to meet the people. Postmasters, bankers and newspapers will bo able to tell you when the government's income tax man will around, and where to find him. He will answer your questions, swear you to the return, and save you a great deal of time and annoyance. Returns of income for 1917 must he made between January 1 and .March 1, 1918. "The Government recognizes," Collector of Internal Revenue D. C. Hcyward said toady, "that many persons experience a good dea' of difficulty in filling out income tax forms. It recognizes too, that taxpayers rcsiden*. e.1 points where collector's offices are not easily accessible find it hard to get proper instruction in the law. Next year, when cveiy man ied person living with wife or husband and having a net income of 82,000. and every unmarrie 1 person not the head of a family and having a net income of 81,000 for the year 1917 must male return of income on the form proscribed, thei'e will be hundreds in ev ovy community seeking light on the [law, and help in execu'ing their re* turns. .My own and even other collection districts in the nation will bdivided into districts, with the county a tne unit, and a government office] informed in the income tax assigned to ctuli district. He will spend hardly ess than a week in each ounty, and n some counties a longer time, very likely in the courthouse at the count; seat town. In cities where there are collector's branch offices, he will bo there, and in other cities possibly at the city hall. My office will in due* time ailvise postmasters and bankers and send out notices to the newspapers stating when the officer will b" in each county. It will be unnecessary for prospective taxpayers to ask my office for forms on which to make returns. The officer who visits their county will have them. "It may be stated as a matter oi general information that net income is the remainder after subtracting ex. penses from gross incomes. Persona*, family, or living expense is not expense in iho meaning of the law, the exemption being allowed to cover such expenses. "The new exemptions of 81,000 and 82,000 will add tens of thousands to the number of income taxpayers in in this districts, inasmuch as practically every farmer, merchants, trades I A 1 II F I Always Have t Mrs. I v.

J I I A termitarium or special pit for breeding' and observing termites or^ , ' white ants" is being planned by the branch of forest entomology of the ] United States Department of Agnj culture.

Many requests hav0 been received ^ from large manufacturers and utili".ers of wood products for informatioa or. methods of heating wood t(> lirej vent damage by these ants. j firms are anxious to secure a market. " lor their wood and wood products in ^ tropic ami south temperate countries, lilt, owing to the fact that many kinds of North American woods arc : abject to serious damage and often intire ruin by white ants prevailing in these countries, it is difficult to ^ establish that trade. It will be impossible unless the wood or wood " products can be treated to prevent: j i attack by these insects. The base of the termilarium will be underground, of concrete, and the roofing of glass similar to a greenhouse. In general it will be similar ' tc the fungus pits used in studying *|the action of wood-destroying fungi. By means of the pit and an independt nt heating plant the interior will be maintained at a fairly even temperup aire the year around and the insects will thus be enabled to continue their I activities throughout the year, ami i thus cut in two the length of timo ^: necessary for the observations ;im! * S31 < xperi men ts. 1 o " NOTICK OF SALE. * I Under and by virtue of the decree * end judgment of the court made by his Honos S.
