It was also decided to make dorm; dianges in the by-laws, whieh they hope will serve the dob to better ad , vantage. The matter of membership also came up for some discussion and at ! this, the time of year when renewals ' are in order, it was the expressed hope of the board that all of the old members as well as many new ones would be brought into the fold this year, i Encouraged over the things that had been accomplished during the first year of the club's existence, the Board started the new year in high spirits and kindly asks the co-operation of the members of the various committees as well as the entire membership and thus assist in making the ensuing year even more profitable to the community than that of last. This desired end can be attained only by perfect harmony within the ranks of the club and here's hoping that this will prevail thruout the year 1923. ! TIME TO FIGURE INCOME TAX WiD Be Mailed to AU Filed In 1922 Who It will soon be income tguc time again and in a few days blanks will be available for making out returns. Forms will be sent from Chicago direct to all persons who paid during 1922. Income tax form j&o. 1046A this year will be in duplicate and consist of six pages, two of which provide for the return proper, two for making a duplicate and two pages of instruction. The duplicate and instruction pages should be detached and retained by the taxpayer and the original return mailed to the collector of the district in which the taxpayer resides. 1, Married persons making returns on form 1040A, whose net income was $5,000 or less, are allowed an exemption of $2,500. The exemption for married persons whose net income was in excess of $6,000 is $2,000. The exemption for single persons is $1,000. Also whether married or single, the taxpayer is allowed a credit of $400 for each person dependent upon him for chief support, if such person is under eighteen years of age or mentally or physically defective. , * It should be remembered, says a revenue department bulletin, that the requirement to file a return is placed upon every married person whose net income for 1922 is $2,000 or more, and upon every single person whose net income is $1,000 or more. The fact ,that by reason of exemption and credits a person's income is not taxable, does not nullify the requirement to file a return if the income equals or exceeds these specified amounts. ' The filing period is Jan. 1 to March 15, 1923. The taxpayer's status on December 31, 1922, determines the amounts of his exemptions and credits. The bureau of internal revenue is preparing to send into each county thruout the United States deputy collectors to assist taxpayers in filing their returns. Surprised on Birthday Anniversary Mrs. Wm.

As all plans for the pleasant occasion had been previously arranged by her husband and the guests 'of tiw evening there was very little for the hostess to do but join in the festivities and frolic. The guests arrived early and at 5:30 o'clock afl sat down to a most sumptuous repast The table decorations were most beautiful and were featured by tyi enormous cake, made by Frank Hoffmann, proprietor of the McHenry bakery.

Pint Methodist Chuich We have often wondered, perchance, just what we do believe. Those who are church members freguently are at a loss to state their religious position and, with the general trend of thought seeming to shift so rapidly, one may wonder what is the real essence of his own religious thinking. The evangelical position will be stated on Sunday morning in a sermon entitled "The Work of Religion." A cordial welcome is extended to all to attend this eleven o'clock service. The Sunday school' precedes at ten and will be found of -interest and of value. The Epworth league will hold its evening service at 6:30.

The names of1 the guests, as contained on these cards, were spelled backwards and as a natural consequence the visitors were some little' time in picking out their respective places, all of which assisted very materially in adding to the frolic. Needless to say that, the dinner was thoroly enjoyed as were the social "hours that followed and which were devoted to music and general merry-making.- It was probably one of the happiest midwinter gatherings held in McHenry during the present season.

Rauen, Nicholas N. Weber, Philip G. Hoffman, Benjamin T, Wynn and Carl W. Stenger. The institution was transformed from that of a private to a state bank about two years ago, since which time it has shown a constant growth. The bank owns a choice lot in the heart of the business section of the village, upon which there will be erected this spring a new home-for the institution. The bank building, according to plans, will be modern in every detail and will be a distinct • redit to tshAt enterprising little municipality. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, C. W. Stenger acquired A. H. Franzen's holdings in the bank some short time ago, since which time the McHenry banker has distributed the stock to a number of influential men of this community, whose connections with the institution is sure to prove of great value in the future. Alfred J. Richardson, who received his banking training under the careful tutelage of Carl W. Stenger at the West McHenry State bank, is well qualified to take over the cashiership at Spring Grove and will give the by Mr. Richardson, who has tttlKiil the officials that he wilt givetiM tbe fceet «*«*• J» lii Wai.
