HEAD OF FAMILY"
is EXPLAINED BY
REVENUE OFFICER

Oklahoma City, March GA state
ment issued today by Collector of
Internal revenue, H. L. Bolen, de-
fines the exact meaning of the
designation "head of family" Such
person being allowed the $4,000 ex-
emption granted a married person
in the filing of an income tax re-
turn.
"A head of family" said Col
lector H. L. Bolen," is person who
actually supports in one household
one or more persons closely con-
nected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marriage or by
adoption, Whether in the absence
Of continuous residence with his
dependents a person is the head of a
family depends upon the character
of the separation.
'If the benefactor is absent on
business or on account of military
or naval service, or child or other
dependence is absent temporarily at
school or on visit, the common
home being maintained, the exemp-
ton of $4,000 applies. If, however,
the dependent continuously makes
his home elsewhere, the benefactor,
irrespective of the question of sup
port, is not the head of family.
"ln the case of man and wife, the
joint exemption of $4,000 allowed a
married couple replaces the individ-
ual exemption allowed each only if
they live together. Unavoidable alb
sence of a wife or husband at
sanatorium or asylum ON account
of illness does not preclude claim
ing the exemption. However, if the
husband continuously and voluntarily
makes his home at one place and the
wife at another each must file an in
dividual return of net income of
$1,000 or more and each is assessed
on the amount of net income in ex-

"The Germans have always thought
they had an effective and winning
system of propaganda. Formerly it
was effective, especially among Ger
mans, though it seemed clumsy to
others. Every German is a propa-
gandist for something, and he ex-
poets everyone to be the same.

one of the arguments sure to come,

STATE EXHIBITS AT
NATIONAL CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Plans
have been made this week for the
resumption of a countrywide cam
paign for the establishment in
Washington of a permanent states
exhibit, and aggressive work with
this project in view is shortly to be
undertaken. While the general ma
ture of the proposed permanent ex-
hibit here in the national capital is
agred upon, difference of opinion
still exists among the promoters, Of
the plan as to the manner Of hous-
ing the exhibit. Some of those ad-
vocating it prefer a plan contemplate
ing separte state buildings, grouped
in some easily accessible section of
the city, while others believe that a
single immense structure affording
spac for the different states, and in
cluding an auditorium or convention
hall, with smaller rooms for minor
gatherings, would be preferable.
AS originally outlined, the plan
provided for a separate building for
each state, such structures to be
built by the states themselves on
ground made available by congress.
These buildings, while conforming
to the same general style of archi-
lecture, would afford an opportunity
for symbolic architectural treatment
SO as to given an effect ofindivid-
uality. Rooms for conventions and
for meetings of state societies would
be provided in the buildings, to-
gether with ample space for COM
prehensive exhibits of the natural
resources; manufacturers and prod
ucts of the states, statistical and
historical information, etc. Main
tenance of the buildings and ex-
hibits would develop principally on
the states.
Half Million Fund Raised.
Advocates Of the single structure
plan believe it the more feasible and
generally advantageous. To be To-
Gated on the ground provided by the
federal government, the buildings
would be paid for by the states in
to the amount of space
to be occupied The plan also con-
federal aid in the erection
of the building, its maintenance and
in keeping up the exhibits.
Steps already have been taken to |
raise fund of a quarter of a mil |
lion dollars by voluntary subscrip- |
tion, with> which to finance a ma
Lion-wide publicity campaign. Such
a fund, according to the belief of
those interested, would be ample to
insure the success of the project.
Plans are being matured here to
present to the next congress a COM
prehensive outline of the project,
detailed account of the work al
ready done, and definite lines Of pro-
,edure for the immediate resumption
If the campaign which after being
we'll under headway, was permitted

AMERICAN SHIP BUILDING
PROGRAM FELT IN ENGLAND

London. The United States was
building on March 81 twice as much
shipping as was Great Britain, ac.
cording to the figures given by
Lloyd's Register for the first three
months Of 1919
The total amount of all shipping
under construction on that date in
allied and neutral countries was Civ
en- as 7,796,266 tons. Great Britain's
share of this was 2,254,S45. The
United States was then building
4,1S5,523 tons of shipping.
These figures credit the United
States with rs per cent of the total
tonnage under construction in allied
or neutral countries outside of Great
Britain and it is pointed out that the
United States is now building rs
times as much as it was in June.
One London paper says the effect of
SO many newly built ships entering
into seagoing trade already is being
felt.

G. B. Campbell and Ben f. John
son having acquired all of the cattle
feeding pens at Chickasha during the
past year, have associated themselves
/ with r. G. Latting and Fl. B. Lattine
in the manufacture of fertilizers and
fertllizing materials in Chickasha.
Immediately after coming into pos,
session of the stock pens, Messrs.
Campbell and Johnson took steps to
ascertain the value of the fertilizer
III the cattle pen that had accumu.
lated for the past fifteen years, and
upon chemical analysis they found
that this was one of the most valua.
bic and most complete fertilizing
products to be had consisting entirely
of decayed cattle manure from feed
ing cotton seed meal and hulls.
The demand for the product has
Justified the construction OF a com
Dlete fertihzing plant that will have
an output of about two hundred tons
complete fertilizer a day The pro
duct will be sold in its natural con
dition and will also be manufactured
into complete commercial fertilizer.
The present demand will take the
entire amount of fertilizer now in
the pens and will justify a continual
tion of the fertilizer business owing
to the great Importance of keepinal
the lands in productive state in a
great many sections of the countryl
where they are compelled to use fer.I
tilizers. The present prices of farm
products are such that it does notI
pay to farm without using every eff
fort to make the soil as productive
as possible, the fertilizer men state,
The establishment of this plant is
The first of it's kind in the southwest
