long and elaborate search. Then.
after we escaped from the reeds
and swsmps. We found ourselves
upon stony uplands where the spoor
was almost impossible to, follow.
Striking their spoor again on
softer ground we followed them
down across great valleys wherein
trees grew sparsely, which valleys
were separated from each other by
ridges of high and barren Land. On
these belts of rocky soil our diffi-
: culties were great, but here twice

smore fragments from the dress OF
Inez.
!. At length We lost the spoor alto
gether; not q sign OF II was to be
found. We had no idea which way
. 10 90. All about us appeared these
valleys covered with scattered bush
. running this way and that, 80 that
we knew not which of them to fol-
low or to cross. This thing seemed
hopeless, for how could We expect
to find little body Of men In that
immensity? Hans shook his head
and even the fierce and steadfast
Robertson was discouraged.
I walked to the top Of the rise
where we we're encamped, and sat
down alone to think matters over.
Our condition was somewhat par
lous. All our beasts were now
dead and had been eaten. for OF
late we had met with little game.
The Strathmuir men, who now
must carry the loads, were almost
worn out and doubtless would have
|, deserted, except for the fact that
there was no place to which they
could 90. Even the Zulus were dis.
couraged, and said they had come
away from home across the Great
River to fight, not to run about In
wildernesses and starve.
Hans, however, remained cheer
full, for the reason, as he remarked
vacuously, that the Great Medicine
was with US and that therefore.
however bad things seemed to be,
all in fact was we'll; an argument
that carried no conviction to my
soul.
/, 1t was one evening toward sun
set that went away thus alone. I
looked about me, east and west and
north. Everywhere appeared the
same bushclad valleys and barren
rises, miles upon miles Of them. I
bethought me of the map that old
Zikali had drawn in the ashes and
remembered that 1t showed these
valleys and rises and that beyond
them there should be a great
swamp, and beyond the swamp a
mountain. SO 1t seemed that we
we're on the right road to the home

with him, and if he exercises con-
troll over household affairs. Deduc-
tions from gross income to which
the taxpayers is entitled in arriving
at net income are fully explained
in the instructions on the forms.
The bureau is emphasizing this
year that the requirement to file q
return rests solely upon a persons
marital status and the amount of his
or her net income for the year 1920.
Single persons whose net income was
$1,000 or more and married persons
whose net income was $4,000 or
more must file a return regardless
of whether their incomes are non
taxable by reason of their exemp-
tions.
The normal tax rate for 1920 is A
per cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exemption, and 8
per cent on the remaining net IN
come. The surtax rate, which is
computed without the benefit of the
exemption, ranges from per cent
$4,000 and $4,000 to 65 per cent. on
the amount of net income between
the amount of net income in excess Of
81, 100000.
For the information of taxpayers in
filing their returns, there has been
prepared by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue series of short articles OH

lations, the first of which will ap-
pear on January 8. Errors hereto
fore made have been noted, and the
taxpayer is told how this year they

Columbia, Dec. 7.-Governor

AID TAXPAYERS IN.
FILING RETURNS
Internal Revenue Bureau Has Made
Elaborate Plans-Revenue Of
6eers Will Help.

Extensive plans for aiding tax-pay-
ers in filing their income tax returns
for the year 1920 are being made by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Revenue officers will visit every coun-
ty in the United States to assist in
making out the forms. The date OF
their arrival and the location OF their
Offices will be announced through the
press, or may be obtained on inquiry
at Offices of collectors of internal re-
venue. The services of government
experts heretofore offered to city re-
sidents will be continued.
Forms for filing 1920 returns OF in
come will be sent by collectors to
persons who last year filed a return.
Failure to receive a form, however,
does not relieve a person from his
obligation to file a return within the
time prescribed. Copies may be OBJ
tanned from offices of collectors OF
internal revenue, branch Offices, post
Offices and banks, and are expected to
be available on or before January /.
Revenue officers assigned to the
work of assisting taxpayers also will
be supplied with forms, concerning
which. and the various items OF in
como to be included, they will be
.,epared to answer any and all ques-
tions It has been demonstrated,
however, that many questions may be
eliminated if the taxpayer, before
seeking the assistance Of a revenue
officer, will carefully study the in
structions on the form.
The period for filing is from Janu-
ary l to March is, 1921. The tax,
this year as last, may be paid in full
at the time of filing the return or In
four instalfments thief irst Of which
is due on or before March Is, the
second on or before June Is, the
third on or before September l5 and
the fourth on or before December
Is. The first installment must ac-
company the filing of the return.
Persons whose individual net in
come for 1920 was $4,000 and less
should ask for Form 1O40 A. Those
whose individual net income was in
excess of $4,000 should ask fo, Forni
1O4O.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue is
urging taxpayers not to delay in the
filing of their returns. Merchants
and business men are casting up
their accounts for the calendar year
1920. With the facts and figures
necessary to make a correct return
fresh in their minds, the making
out of a form soon after January
will be an easier task, the bureau
points, out than if delayed.
The requirements of the revenue
act relating to returns for the year
1920 are the same as those for the
year 1919. Every single person
whose net income for 1920 was $1,000
or more and every married person
whose net income was $4,000 or
more must file a return. The ex-
emptions are $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married persons
and heads of families, plus an addl-
tional exemption of 5000 for each
person dependent upon the taxpayer
for chief support if such person is
under eighteen years of age or in
capable of self support. A single
person may claim an exemption OF
$4,000 as the head of family II ne

TICKET SALE
Sale of Tickets for Lyceum Course
To BE Made by Seniors.

II has been announced by Profes-
sor J. T. Ewing of the Alma Chau-
tauqua-Lyceum Committee that the
seniors of Alma high school have
taken over the sale of tickets for the
Star Lyceum course, which recently
opened, and that this class will push
the sale of the tickets until the en-
tire capacity of the Strand theatre
has been taken.
AS one number of the course has
already been held the price of the
tickets for the remaining numbers of
the course has been reduced from
$500, the cost for the course, TO
s1.50 for the three good entertain
ments that are left.
The course this year is an unus-
ually good one, and one that deserves
far better patronage than the first
number secured. II has always been
the desire Of the Alma committee to
bring the best possible attractions
to this city, and there is little ques-
tion but what the committee has been
unusually successful in its efforts 10
give Alma a fine lyceum course this
winter, one that is deserving of a
fine patronage. The committee has
always felt that such entertainments
always aid in bringing out the finer
sensiblities of the public and has
been sparing no effort TO give the
community the best possible public
spirited service that could be rem
dered in this respect.
Alma audiences in the past have
shown themselves very appreciativs
Of the entertainments that have beer
brought here, and this should prov;
TO be the case again this year, be-
cause of the high standard Of the at
fractions.
Those who have rot yet purchased
their season tickets, but who are con.
templating attending any of thess
numbers, should purchase a seasor
ticket, as the cost Of the season tick
ct is far less than the cost of the in
dividual entertainments that ar,
given.

Think CROSSINGS

The City.

An active campaign IS about 10 be
started by city officials and the AL
ma Board Of rade looking towards
the better protection of the railroad
crossings of the city, some of which
are believed, by members of the city
commission, and others, TO be dan
gerous TO the public
1t is felt that at some Of the cross
ings, notably the Woodwork avenue
one, that there are so many obstruc-
tions that il is next to impossible to
see an approaching train until =
reaches the crossing, and the
same condition exists at others,
hut 10 lesser extent in various
parts of the city. While the two
worst crossings, Woodwork and
West Superior. are given protection
by watchman during the day. from
early evening on, throughout the
night they are not guarded.
Other crossings that are considered
as being dangerous are given no at
tention by the railroads, but it is
believed that some of these warran.

sideration as 10 some method to
safeguard the public.
Measurements are now being taken
at the various crossings TO deter
