income tax, will ii is 5aid be $4,000
and the maximum $4,000, in the I'm

ton from the income of the hus-
band will be allowed on account OF
a dependent wife.
An exemption of $500 each will be
allowed on account of dependent chill
dren, up to but not exceeding one
thousand dollars. This is the tenta-
tive plan which the members OF the
committee were disposed to approve

highest exemption allowable under
The senate plan will be $4,000, dis
tributed as follows: $4,000 on az
court of the Individual Taxpayer;
81 900 additional on account of a de

In the evening the first degree was
exemplified by the Cresco team, which
made hit with the large number
who were lnxious to see the work of q
team of which they had heard 50 much
praise, and the hearty applause given
the various evolutions was proof that
their rspatation WAS fairly earned.

clude real COW boys, COW girls, and a
family of Indians, and the program of
show will contain IL or more acts
similar in nature to those presented
by Miller Bros. ''10l" Wild West.
They will open the season in Cresco
on Saturday, May 18th, and will be
preceded on their advance by Billy
Sorrento, . Snowman of experience who
will do the publicity work for the show.
The headquarters are now a busy

accustomed to the tent and arena equip

for the season. The performers are
expected to arrive from the 5th to the
18th of May in season for ample
rehearsals. IT,. t.
We wish the boys all the success
possible in their venture. While it is
a small beginning, it is much more pre-
tentious than was the Ringling show in
its early days.

For the week ending April -, 1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was .: q whole fav-
orable for farm work, and over the
larger part Of the state, rapid progress
was made in sowing small grain and
plowlng for corn. Work vas however,
retarded in the northwestern counties
by heavy rains on the 23d and Ath.
which were followed in all sections by
light to heavy frosts on the last three
mornings of the week.
About 80 per cent Of the seeding has
been finished and the remainder will
be completed within the next few days.
In the Northwestern counties, where the
rainfall was the heaviest and field work
seriously retarded, considerable of the
acreage intended for oats will be re-
served for corn. The early sown grain
is up and showa good stand Grass
is growing nicely. and in some locali-
ties stock is in pasture. Fruit trees
are still in ine condition. The spring
pig crop is reported to be short in many
localities and especially where cholera
prevailed last year.
The indications at the close. of the
week are favorable for rising tempera-
ture, and with warm weather corn
planting will begin during the coming
week GEO. NJ, CHAPPEL.

Miss Lauraine Mead's Piano Pupils
viii Go to Cedar Falls.

When the Iowa State Music Teach
ers' Convention convenes this year at
Cedar Falls, iowa, Miss Mead will be
represented by several of her more
advanced piano pupils at that meeting.
It has been the custom at these meet
ings in years gone by to give two
programs by the pupils of the several
teachers who attend the convention,
two programs by the teachers them
selves, and two programs by prominent
artists. In former years the conven-
ton has been fortunate in securing
such talent % the eminent artist Leib-
ling. and Mrs. Dunning the eminent
kindergarten teacher for numbers on
the artists program; as the program
for this years meeting is not as yet
complete we are not informed 40 to
who will appear as artists, but the
committee having this in charge will
undoubtedly secure such talent as will
best uphold the high standard attained
in previous conventions.
This year the convention will be held
in June on Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday, the 18th, 10Th and Goth. at
Cedar Falls. at which time those of
Miss Mead's pupils who will go and
also the names of the selections that
they will render in the pupils program,
follow:
Miss Josephine Bigalk has the piano
solo, Rondo Op. 81 No. 2, by Ludwig
Won Beethoven, and Mr.. Will Darrow
and the Misses lone Kakac. Anna Davis
and Gale CRUDE will play the Unfinished
Symphony in B minor, for two pianos,
by Franz Schubert.
For years Miss Mead has been study
ing music and instructing pupils in
piano music in Cresco and adjoining
villages, part of the time she has been
student in such institutions as the
New England Conservatory Of Music,
located at Boston, Mass. she has also
studied in Chicago under the instruc-
tion Of the late w. H. Sherwood, and
in other Of the best musical centers,
and the selection of her pupils for q
place on the program at this conven-
tion must be source of much graft
fcation to Miss Mead and her friends,
as recognition and reward for her
efforts in the art Of music.

of either Of these two wisards Of thu
king Of Instruments the violin. Mr..
Haubiel. the pianist, who appeared with
Mr.. Kocian at the previous recital in
which We heard him. was also present
on this occasion and rendered some
mastery compositions upon the piano
forte. During the course of the enter.
tainment. in her usual and most
pleasing manner, Miss Winifred Cecil
Webster of our city gave one of her
most choice readings, ''The Courage
Of the Commonplace" by Mary Ray
mond Shipman Andrews, in her
elegant way and gave delightful
variety to this magnificent Kocian
entertainment.
Mr.. Kocian came to Cresco from
Cleveland, Ohio, and gave bis farewell
concert in America to fair sized
audience 1T the Congregational church
in our city, last Tuesday evening; he
will leave Immediately for Europe. and
goes perhaps to London. England.
