TWO STORES EN? TERED LAST NIGHT Thief Seemed to Be After Money Only. Small Sums Taken The itorei of shaw and MeCoilum dry (foods and Moran and CO., haul wore, wore entered sometime hist night, the m> n? \ diawen rIAod and their contents taken. Uoth entries w?re effected by the same method nnd It ie presumed that the Maine parties are fenponslble for hoth robherlee In ? i< h case the store was entered through buck windows which were heavily guarded by atout iron b.us. The thieves neuot have been occasion ed much effort before they were able to spread the Iron bars BOfHelentty to allow the entrance of then- bodies through them. The wood work which held the lairs in place was carefully chiseled out enough to nllow the ?hp ping down of the bar. The thieves must necessarily have spent much time at each window slowly working their way. The money compemta tion obtained by them was scarcely worth their troubles for the amount taken from Moran and company was only a matter of a few dollars and the sum taken from Shaw and McCol lum was in the neighborhood of $11). The pennies ?n the money drawer were not bothered. Neither store re perta the lorn* of any of their goo<\s but some articles might have been token from either or from both places.

As always, there may be showers from time to time, but there is noth? ing in tiu> atmosphere to Indicate the approach of dangerous storms.

Partnerships as Mich are not sub j<-? t to the Income tax, but are requir? ed to make return* on Forms 10tft? showing gross and not income. The net income of ? partnership is com puled i-i the same manner and on the sann- basis as tho net income of an individual, except that deduq. tlons for contributions to eiun liable, religious, and scientific organizations are not permitted. Individual members are taxed oa lh< distributive shares of net income liana partnerships, whether distribut? ed 01 not, and are required to in? clude such shares in their individ? ual return of Income, even though they may not hav? ixnn actually re? ceived, it not Infrequently happens that tho figures in the individual re turn and partnership return do not coincide, In which event there la trouble for both the taxpayer and bu I ea II. .Must File Returns. Partnership retuins must be filed, oven though the Arm had no net in? come foi the year. The return must show tin- name and address of each partner and his share of net income. Anyone of the partners may sign and sweai t?? the return, which may cover the calendar or ftsiai year, according to the firm's method of accounting. Requirements of the revenue act with reference ^o partnerships apply also to personal service corporations, which, though exempt from tax. must make a return of gross and net income on Form 10C5. or even if there was no net. income. A personal ser? vice corporation os defined by treas? ury regulations, is a corporation "whose Income is to l>e ascribed pri? marily to the SOtlvttlOS Of the prin? cipal ow tiers or stockholders who are themselves regularly engaged in the active conduct of the affairs of the corporation, and In which capital (whether borrowed or invested) la not a material Income-producing fac? tor. " In order to be classified as a per? sonal Si rvice corporation, its earn? ings must be derived principally from compensation for personal ser? vices rendered by its owners and ?tockholors. Merchandising or trad? ing citlv-r directly or indirectly in commodities or the services of others is not rendering personal service. Where the principal owners and stock? holders do not render the principal pait Of the services, but merely su? pervise a force of employees, the corporation is not a personal service corporal Ion. To determine who are the principal ?Win rs or stockholders no detinite pet ventage of stock or interest in the corporation can be prescribed. Treas? ury regulations, however, provide that no corporation may make a return as a personal service corporation un? less at h ant BO per cent of its stock is held by those regularly engaged In the sctlve conduct of its affair*. Fse of Capital. If the use of capital is necessary or more than incidental, capital Is an income-producing factor, and the cor? poration is not a personal service cor? poration. No corporation is a per? sonal service corporation If It car riea on a business which ordinarily equires the use of a substantial amount of capital, whether Invested or Ljrrowed. In general, the larger the amoout capital actually used the stronger is the evidence that capital is a necessary and is a material Income producing factor, ard that the cor? poration is not a personal service cor? poration. The following corporations are ex? pressly excluded from classification as personal service corporations: For? eign corporations; corporations 30 per cent of w hose gross income con? sists of gains, profits* or income de? rived from trading as a principal; cor? porations r>0 per cene of whooe gross income consists of gains, profits, com? missions, or other incomo derived from government contracts t>etween April 6, 11? 17, and November J 1.. 1918.

The return must be sworn to by the president, vi< o president, or other principal executive office? and by the treasurer or assistant treas? urer. Fine sperimcns of l hittcsc Sculpture.
