The federal income tax season opens today, with the dis- tribution of the forms for personal returns from the offices of the collector of internal revenue at St. Paul, Minnesota. From now until the bell rings on the night of Marc}l 15, the annual returns covering income for the year 1919 will be figured out and filed by citizens and residents, together with payments of tax due. . ) ’ The burden of fulfilling this obligation is laid by law squarely on the shoulders of those who are American citizens orresidents. Every person must determine for himself whether his net income for 1919, figured according to the revenue law, was sufficient in amount to require a return. If he is single, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $1,000 or over. A widow or widower is classed as a single person. A man or woman living apart from his wife or husband is also classed as a single person. If he was married and living with his wife on December 31, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $2,000, or over. In his net income he must include that of his wife and minor children, if any. If a tax is due on his income, he must make payment with his return. This payment may be made in whole or in part of the tax due. At least one quarter of the tax must accom- pany the return. The filing and payment must be done before midnight of March 15th, or he is classed as a delinquent and is subject to severe penalties. Two forms are being distributed for personal returns. Form 1040 A is intended for use by a person whose net income does not exceed $5,000. A larger form, 1040, is intended for each person having a net income in excess of $5,000. Both of these forms are now obtainable at internal revenue offices and at some banks and postoffices. It is urged by the internal revenue bureau that taxpayers obtain their blanks at once. Failure to have a blank form at hand for an eleventh-hour return will not relieve a person of penalty for failure to comply with the law. Each form contains instructions for preparing and filing the return, and those should be carefully read and strictly -observed. . » There is also provided a ‘“‘work sheet” which should be used for making the original computations, and which should be retained and preserved by the taxpayer. Any person who is in doubt on points affecting his par- ticular case, should bring such, matters to the attention of the nearest deputy collector or revenue agent, who will render every necessary aid without charge. When the return is completed, it should be properly executed and immediately filed. Any internal revenue officer will ‘administer the necessary oath without charge. It is pointed out that accuracy in compiling the return is absolutely necessary. Mere guesses and estimates as to income and deductions should be avoided and actual facts and amounts should be set forth. And this is equally important in consid- ering the question of whether a return is required. -0 MEETING CALLED TO FORM POTATO EXCHANGE. The Minnesota Potato Growers Exchange will be organized at a meeting called to be held at Little Falls, January 26 and 27. Articles of incorporation and by-laws proposed by the temporary board of, directors will be submitted for approval. Any potato or produce shipping association, incorporated under the laws of the state, is entitled to one delegate. Com- munities that desire representation at the meeting should organize. Full particulars can be obtained on application to county agents or to Hugh J. Hughes, State Capitol, St. Paul, secretary of the temporary board of directors. ——0 Well, along comes Indiana and ratifies the national woman’s suffrage amendment to the Constitution, and the state legislature required only two hours of a special session for that purpose. That’s one of the characteristics of the Hoosiers. R —_— THROUGH THIRD DEGREE. Out of a small town comes the .

Because she carelessly walked through a hallway of a.society home in a nightdress, Amelie Thorndyke makes herself the victim or a pitiless public scandal in ‘“The Beauty Mar- ket,” starring Katherine MacDc¢hald and which will be seen at the Réx theatre, commencing tomorrow.. It is because she is trying to avert ahy possible scandal that Miss Thorn- dyke walks from her boudoir into the rooms of Captain Kenneth Laird.

One of the Crown City’s beauittul homes was used by Little Mary as a setting for tne nome of John Pendle- ton, the hard old bachelor in “Polly- anna,” and the school children were furnished many thrills as they watched “America’s Sweetheart do- ing laughable stunts. The Ambidextrous. The art of ambidexterity, or the us- age of both hands, 1s an extremely practical accomplishment, and one in- volving not only mechanical skill, but a certain amount of will and brain power. A soclety’ for the cultivation of the left hand was started some tlme ago in London, but the scheme never had sufficlent backing to flourish. Now the French Academy of Med!- cine is advocating that school children be taught to write with the left hand as well as the right. ¢ One curious point concerns the cult of the left hand, an eminent physician having stated that it tends eventually to increase lunacy. The notion has, however, been contested by other medi- cal men, and the head master of Eton suggests that the further usage‘of the left hand develops certain organs of the brain which otherwise lie dormant. R . Find Color Photo Process. A secret emulsion, invented by a Russian professor, which, it 1s assert. ed, will make color photography pos- sible for everybody, is about to be in- troduced into this country, saye tHe f London Times. The problem of mak- ing the process capable of snapshot as well as time work is clalmed to | have been overcome, and the exposure can be as rapid as with the ordinary emulsion, thus fitting the invention for moving-picture work also. Special cameras and plates will be on the market shortly, and the cost of a colored film is expected to be only 15 to 20 per cent higher than the ordinary black and white type. Covered Them All.
