The war board of Independence Township has authorized the treasurer, George D. King, to return pro rata all funds left with the board at the close of the war. The board believed that in strict justice they could not use these funds for any other purpose than for what they were given. This amount, totaling in the neighborhood of $2,500 has been returned, by means of checks.

The board are unanimous in the belief that the Hoover fund for starving children in Europe is a worthy cause and worthy of our liberal support. Independence is asked to raise $250. Have you contributed? Leave contributions at the Clarkston State Bank, on or before Jan. 29.

We beg to acknowledge the many kind words and congratulations received from our friends on the appearance of the first issue of Community News. The reception accorded same meets our highest expectations, and we are pleased to announce that commencing with this issue it will be published semi-monthly. Our advertisers make possible this little community paper: show your appreciation by patronizing them. This is your paper: send in your news items.

---------------------

By our arrangement with the Hanover National Bank, of New York, we are able to issue Money Orders payable anywhere in the United States and island possessions or the Dominion of Canada, at very low rates.

--------------------

When the fire-bell rings at 7:30 p.m. the first Monday of the month, announcing the monthly meeting of the Village Council, consider this an invitation to attend the meeting.

--------------------

An apology is due our Oak Hill friends who did not receive a copy of our first issue. We underestimated the number of copies required. This issue goes to 600 homes.

--------------------

Good roads, good schools, good stores are the backbone of every prosperous community. Individual prosperity is closely linked with the community’s prosperity. Every boost for home institutions is a boost for yourself. Throw away your hammer.

WHO: Single persons who had net income of $1,000 or more for the year 1920. Married couples who had net income of $2,000 or more.

WHEN: March 15, 1921, is the final date for filing returns and making first payments.

WHERE: Deputy collector of revenue, Pontiac Post Office.

HOW: Full directions on form 1040A and form 1040; also the law and regulations.

WHAT: Four percent normal tax on taxable income up to $4,000 in excess of exemption. Eight per cent normal tax on balance of taxable income. Surtax from one percent to 65 percent on net incomes over $5,000.

The tax this year, as last, may be paid in full at the time of filing return, or in four equal installments, due on or before March 15, June 15, Sept. 15, and Dec. 15. The first installment must, accompany filing of the return.

Forms 1040A for incomes of more than $5,000 and less and 1040 for incomes of more than $5,000 have been revised and contain instructions which, if carefully followed, will be of great aid to the taxpayer in making his return.

Forms will be sent to persons who last year filed returns of 1919 income. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve a person of his obligation to file a return and pay the tax on time. Copies may be obtained from the collector of internal revenue or at the bank.

The return, sworn to before a notary, or other person authorized to administer oaths, must be filed with the collector.

T.W. Jackson, the income tax man, will be at the bank again Feb. 7, in the afternoon, to assist those requiring help in making reports.

We have our cash assets, our bond assets, our mortgage assets, in fact all the assets necessary to carry on a regular business.

But the big asset we think the most of and believe the most necessary, is your good will.

In all of our dealings with you we look out for this asset first, and are always glad to show you that we are firm believers in the theory that a business can be built only upon the good it does in the community.

Many of our local residents and organizations have come to the relief of Fred Werst and family in their hour of trouble, following the death of the wife and mother. Our local unit of the American Red Cross purchased underwear, shoes, stockings, rubbers and school supplies for the children; Caribou Inn raised a sum; while other women of the community sewed and supplied needed clothing and raised funds to pay taxes due. This is the right community spirit.

INSURANCE (ad)

Next time you pick up your paper and read of a fire, notice in all probability how it will also state that "the loss is partly covered by insurance."

That means that someone took a chance on a big loss rather than pay a small amount of extra premium and get adequate protection.

We can sell you this protection at "less than worry rates."
