LETIER FROM BRQIHER NOW SERVING OVERSEAS Vernoff "f. Caldwell, a private in j Ootnpany G, Eighth Infantry, now doing guard duty at Brest, France, writes a very interesting letter to his sister. Miss Anna V. Caldwell, of this city. He states that the Eighth Infan try are quartered in Napoleon's old fort, the walls of which were built In 1G50. Uncle Sam has made very comfortable quarters out of this famous historical fort, which now goes by the name of Poulnazien Bar racks. The queer dress of tho natives of old Brittany are a const ;yit source of wonder to the hoys. The people of this part of France are more accus tomed to seeing the American sol diers and the children do not flock about them begging for tobacco, as did the children of the Interior. "I just received my pay in French money, i got enough to paper a house. (It looks like wall paper to me). I received the Christmas pack age all O. K. It came Christmas eve. I also received a box from the Y. M C. A., so you see I fared pretty well. Ob, yes, I also received guard duty for Christmas night.

Our company guarded the dock for about fifteen hours befoie he landed. You should have Keen the dock. They had It covered with flags.

INCOME WHILF. 1 IXAL DETAILS OK NEW LAW A 1 1 11 NOT YET AVAIL ABLE, the ;enehal vn is- t IPI.ES A HE STATED BY THE COLLECTOR. Geiiem I Requirements Are Given and Also Wlmt May be Consid ered in the Way of Exemp tions From Taxation. The big Income tax drive of 1919 Is now under way and every prep aration Is being made to handle the largest collection in the history of Income lux "I irr not waiting for the 'final passage uf tho new revenue bill by Congress," said Collector Mil Lou A. Miller toiitiy,' "tior tor the. new' regulations and blank forms to bo Issued... To get this big tax in and get it accurate and complete, 1 urge that we all begin now." 1 he Income tax obligations int posed by tho old laws us well as the measure now in Congress, consists ot two distinct operations. One is to file return or statement of all items of income and items of deductions allowable by law and to do this within the period named in the law. The other is, to pay the lax if any is due. When the new hill Ik enacted into law, I will have the proper return forms distributed throughout the district and everybody will be in formed of Ihe date when the sworn statement or return must ho illed. It Is my plan to send my men out Co central locations, and to have them travel through the district aiding taxpayers in the preparation of the returns and to deciding doubtful points. We will go right to the peo ple with the Income tax. and with the co-operation which the public can give tho Governmeut men, the returns will be filed by everybody who comes under the law's provi sions, the right tuxes will be paid, and the district will have done its patriotic duly toward the Govern ment's support. Meanwhile let me say again, there Is no need delaying the preparation of llgurcs. Anything that Congress does now will not affect the amount of a person's earnings fur l!tl8. Let us avoid Ihe belated throwing to gether of llgures Ibat may lilt or miss. Guesses cannot be accepted as the basis of taxation. It Ik clearly the duty of every person to compile correct figures and ascertain whether liis income for I !) I H was sufficient to make necessary a sworn statement. All si fits indicate that the income tax this year will reach nearly every working man and woman, and near ly every men-bant, shop keeper and farmer. Not all will have to pay the tax. but nearly all will be obliged to make a sworn statement of the year's income. I am therefore ad vising eery unmarried person who earned $ I Ofnt or over during the year l!f IK, and eery married per son, who together with wife or hus band, earned fL'nno. to sharpen his pencil and figure out how he stands. He must ascertain accurately his gross Income from all sources. There's his salary or wageH, Indud fug overtime .;iy and any bonus re ceived as additional compensation. A married person haling children un der eighteen who are working, -hoiild include the earnings of teach children. If he Mld iinv property at a profit, the gain must be computed and In cluded In gross income. If be rented any properly to other persons, the total reptH received in the year must be ascertained, and from that, figiin a deduction may he taken for taxes paid on rented property, the necen ary minor repairs, fire Insurance, any Interest he may have paid on mortgage, and a reasonable allow ance for annual wear and tear of the rented property. The balance included In gross income for I he year. Interest on bank ib posits, whether withdrawn or added to his bank ha I ance.v, must be hi' lu-b d in all cab u IfiiloiiH of income.
