CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The corn
market averaged higher yesterday
though the best prices were not main
tanned. Trade was largely local in
character and buying on the low
points was noticeable. The selling
pressure diminished somewhat, the
rally in foreign exchange from its re-
cent extreme low points being a fac
tor which worked against hearlsh
market. The present premium of the
cash market over September also told
against declining prices. Corn closed

CARRIERS CHANCE FOR
FREE MACKINAC TRIP


One or more mail carriers in Me-
dina and other counties in Ohio are
to be given free trip to Mackinac
Island and return as a reward for
War Savings Stamps sales ability, ac-
cording to announcement of the Ohio
War Savings Committee. These trips
will come with diplomas in a CORES
pondence course in Practical Sales
manship which will be given free to
all city and rural carriers in Ohio.
The trips to Mackinac Island and
return are being given by a former
mail carrier who is now one of the
leaders in industry in Ohio, and the
course in salesmanship has been writ
ten by very successful salesman,
formerly mail carrier. The person
ality and selling ability of the car
riers will be developed through prac-
tical demonstration in the sale of gov
ernment savings stamps.
The contest and course in salesman
ship starts March 10 and ends August
g.. The plan has been heartily endors-
ed by the city and rural carrier as
sociations. Aside from the trips Of
fered through the Ohio War Savings
Committe, it is expected that individ-
uals and business houses will offer ad-
ditional trips. The individuals with
the highest aggregate sales will be
rewarded in this manner.
In the larger cities there will be as
high as twenty trips offered in addi-
tion to the three to be given under
the auspices of the Ohio committee

SOME ESSENTIALS IN
AFTER-WAR AGRICULTURE

Now that farming is to be restored
to a peace-time basis, the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
lieves that many lands formerly de-
voted to pasture or meadow, but re-
Gently used for emergency grain pro-
duction, should be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the armistice found
the United States with relatively large
supplies of foods and relatively small
supplies Of feeds, with much land
somewhat impoverished by having
been planted to grain year after year,
and with still urgent demand for meat
and fats.
Numbers of all classes of live
stock have been maintained. Those
of swine and sheep have been in
creased, the former largely, the latter
slightly. But the quantities of for
age and pasturage for live stock have
been diminished.
Sound agricultural practice demands,
the department thinks, the reestablish
ment of regular and satisfactory ro-
tations, so that fertility may be res
tored and the live stock carrying
capacity Of the land increased.
Live stock, since it helps to retain
fertility on the land, provides profit

aid, the Deputy Collectors in the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In
come Tax duty on citizens and resi-
dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau
is sending Its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re-
turns in. With active cooperation
every tax due March Is will be paid
and every return required by law will
be in the Revenue offices on time.
Exemptions Are Allowed.
A single person is allowed personal
exemption of $1,000. If he is support
ing in his household relatives who are
dependent upon him he may claim the
status Of the head of family who has
the same exemption as If married.
A married person who lives with
wife or husband Is allowed a personal
exemption of $4,000. The head of
family is entitled to claim a similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption Of 5000 is
allowed for each person under eight
cen or incapable Of self support who
was dependent upon and received his
chief support from the taxpayer.
A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex-
emption Of $1,000. If they make sep
arate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy is necessary in
making up income figures Any per-
son who is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank interest, bond interest, dividends,
rents received and all other items
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper ad-
'minisrration Of the law.

Income tax returns must be made

Any unmarried person whose 1918
