These informa tion returns must be forwarded ill recti- to Commissioner of Internal ltevenue. Sorting Dnision, Washing ton, 1). C. Last year if having good and suffi cient reason it was found impossible to complete a return by March loth, corporations, individuals and part snips were permuted to file ou or be fore March loth, a tentative return and were given an extension of 4a days in which to hie a complete re turn. Conditions which justified such extensions do not exist this year. Where additional time is actually required because of illness or absence, an extension of time not to exceed 30 days may be granted upon written application therefor made before the return is due. This, however, only applies to specific cases of illness or absence. Where a fiscal year has been estab lished in the Collector's office the dale of tiling Income Tax Returns is the fifteenth day of the third month from the close of the accounting per iod, but this does not apply to the in formation returns referred to which must be filed as above.

The war has cast a flood of light upon it. Ameri ca was not discovered in 14S2; it was discovered in 1917 and 15(18, by the rest of the world and also by our selves. America went to war for an ideal. It sent two million men across the sea and was preparing to send two mil lion more, with other millions still in reserve. It raised billions for war purposes with an ease that amazed the world and scarcely touched its re sources. It gave hundreds of mill ions for war beneficence. It organiz ed its industrial facilities into a sin gle machine ot incredible powers. It revealed a spiritual capacity for sym pathy, self-sacrifice and exalted loy alty of which we ourselves had never dreamed. The war came to an ab rupt end when America had only be gun to exert its giant strength, while almost unlimited resources were still in reserve. This was the nation which we saw in the light of a dazzling transfiguration only a few short months ago. Let us not forget the vision, for already it is becoming apparent that this land of ours is Infested with swarms of enemies to every ideal for which America stands. Impudently presuming upon the good-natured tolerance which has been so charac teristically American, these vicious agitators have gone to almost unbe lievable lengths in their attempts to tear down and to disintegrate. Most amazing of all, they have received the encouragement of various so-called "intellectuals" who have sought to obscure with a haze of theory and doctrine the stark question of good and evil. Fellow Americans, let us see these things clearly and simply. Let us make no mistake about the meaning of the present disorder. It Is not aim ed at the correction of our defects; its fundamental purpose is destruc tion destruction of our civilization, destruction of our nation and destruc tion of our Ideals. Two years ago we thought that America was good enough to sacrifice for, to fight for and, If need be, to die for. Do we still think so? Let the line be drawn clearly and sharply and let us take our stand with all the earnestness, alertness and determina tion that we possess. Let us show by our actions what we really think of America.

'i..e iueutory plan as now ap- proeu by the lederal treasury de railment provides that the farmer may use the 'farm value of livestock! and grain,' " says Gunn. "Use of this I p. aii does not mean that a farmer has 1 got to know the exact cost of produc-j ing a busnei of grain or raising a steer, but it does mean that he must Keep records and accounts, a practice ae should follow anyhow." Reporting on the inventory basis insures against doubling up two years income into one, Gunn points out The first year but little net income Humming Spring Wheat Shall we harrow the spring wheat this year? That is a question that is ssked the County Agent a great many times every week. We admit that we haven't been here long enough to know it o,iiite all et in Morrow coun ty, but judging from experience of most ferniers we say be careful ab out it. we doubt if it will give you any results. We would like to re mind you again that in Sherman county it has not been proven benefi cial and the farmers there have quit harrowing spring grain, unless they have weeds to kill. We know that there are some tendencies towards crusting of the ground this year, but wo do not feel that the harrow is noing to relieve the crust enough to justify the expense of the operation over most of the county. In Sherman county it is given a uniform decrease yield of 2 bushels per acre each year. If you must harrow save a little piece to test it out. How to Reach tlio County Agent We have been some busy lately and It looks like this might continue for some time. We now have an assist ant In the office for most of the day is reported, the second year an ab normally large one. As the income tax and the surtax are both graduat ed the taxes are much higher when paid on 10,000 every other year than when paid on $5,000 every year. The farmer paying on the cash basis pays more tax, often 50 to 100 per cent, than he would It he included his inventory values each year. "Our department cooperating with county agents, will be glad to assist farmers in getting their farm ac counts and income tax reports on a business like basis," announced Mr. Gunn. "Some confusion may result substituting the Inventory plan. but with care and the help ot the field agent of the internal revenue office satisfactory adjustmnt can be made."

The people in the irrigation district i in the north part of the county are parsing this week on an important matter in connection with their Irri gation District in regard to a contract with the Federal Government. The , secretary, Mr. Camp, has been dis-! cussing the matter at the meetings of the Farm Bureau at both Board- j man and Irrigon, and there seems to be no doubt but what the plans pro-: posed by the Irrigation District Board ' w ill be approved by the settlers, this speaks well for the general harmony , on the project as we know of several irrigation districts which are not so harmonious. FRESH CLEAN PURE Willow Brand Butter Insist on WILLOW BRAND and you will not go wrong. It costs no more, but contains genuine butter value. WILLOW BRAND Butter is a made-at-home product, fresh, pure and rich in that delicious "buttery" flavor. Butterfat which goes into the production of WILLOW BRAND Butter comes from the dairy herds of the uplands and creek farms of Morrow County. USE WILLOW BRAND BUTTER ON YOUR TABLE Morrow County Creamery Company W. CLAUDE COX, Manager Pine City Organizes Farm Bureau. February 25, the people of Pine City met with the County Agent to consider the question of good roads and the problem of the water rights on Butter creek. An enthusiastic meeting was held and after some dis cussion it was decided that these and other questions of interest to the community could be better handled by a definite organization, so a Farm Bureau was organized and the iol- lowing committeemen appointed: Chairman, E. P. Jarmon, secretary, Ralph Corrigal, road committeeman C. H. Bartholomew, cooperative mar keting Ed. Neill, labor committeeman W. W. Howard, wheat varieties Ear nest Boylan, live stock improvement Tom Boylan, rodent control A, E. Wattenberger, water rights and alfal fa Roy Neill. Some of the commit tees are already at work. Important Road Meeting to be Held By Farm Bureau The Morrow County Farm Bureau Road Committee has not been idle and they have gradually worked out a plan during the winter which looks towards building a road through the grain section north of Lexington, as far east as Butter creek and reaching into the irrigated land, between Irri gon and Boardman. With this in view an important meeting will be held in Alpine, on the 11th day of March, to which every interested party is invit ed to attend. Representative men and interested farmers from Irrigon, Boardman, Wells Spring, Lexington, Alpine and Pine City are urged to be present. The Alpine schoolhouse at 2 o'clock, on March 11. Be sure and be there. FOR HA Mi REASONABLE Six cap range, Irving piano, round din ing table, six dining chairs, kitchen cabinet, combination dresser and dressing table, bed etead and springs. 2t.
