But More Buying Is
Urged Before
July 1
J. R. Hix, war bond sale
cSairman for Wilkes, today
urged that people of the
county increase their pur
chases of war bonds during
the remaining days of this
month in order that the quo
ta may he exceeded.
Mr. Hix has received
report of sales for the first
half of June, which was
very encouraging and show
ed that purchases of bonds
through June 15 had total
ed $33,056.25.
At that rate the quota lor the
county would be easily exceeded
but Mr. Hix said he feared that
sales had slowed down during the
past ten days.
He attributed this to a misun
derstanding on the part
to the withhold-

Sorely replace

and salary earners had already
been having to pay.
He pointed out that the with
holding tax will not be 20 per
cent of all their pay. but 20 per
cent above the exemptions allow
ed by law. which will amount to
practically the same as the in

tax burden.
In many instances persons with
dependents will pay less under
the withholding tax than they
have been paying at the victory
