INFLUENZA IN ARIZONA
Plague Again Manifests It. self in Different Sec
 tiOns of the State

Since the first of the year the number of cases of h. fluenza in Arizona has been on the increase, according to the State Board of Health. There were 10 deaths from influenza reported in Decem- Der. These were in Mari copa and Santa Cruz Coun- ties. At the same time there were 38 deaths from pneumonia, divided among 10 counties, and there is a possibility that so m e of these deaths were the result of influenza.
 U. S. Surgeon General Rupert Blue has already called on the various State Boards of Health of the country to mobilize the med ical fraternity in an attempt to restrain the infection. In Arizona the matter has been taken up with all county health officers. Their re- ports develope that influenza exists in a number of cities, although Santa Cruz County reports no cases known at the present time.
 Masks, serums, and the closing of places of amuse- ment, have all been tried, says the State Board of Health. Scientists still question the practical value of any of these expedients. There remains the careful quarantining of known cases and the control of the pos sible carrier. The value of this is unquestioned.
 Every individual can also protest himself to an extent. He should live simply, be in the open as much aspossible; avoid the careless splitter and tougher; keep the hands clean; and not run risks of catching cold"

THE EXEMPTION
 FOR DEPENDENTS

LII OIOO1 CO SAC0A e w dy HID
 understandings as to what
 constitutes dedendency, 1T
 connection with the addition.
 al exemption granted In. come Tax payers, Collector
 of Internal Revenue, Alfred
 Franklin, today gave out the following statement.
 '.For 1919 a taxpayer may be allowed a credit of $20C for each person for whom he is the chief support. But it must be remembered that he can claim this additional ex- emption only with respect to children seventeen years of age or younger and persons mentally defective, cripples, and persons old enough to be without question physically incapacitated for self sup port.
 If the taxpayer contributes to the support of some rela- tive or other person who is over eighteen years of age in fair health, and still active, he cannot be allowed the additional $200 even if he is furnishing the chief support.
 The very different require ments of the two exemptions ("head of a family" addi- tional 5000, dependent" additional $200) must not be confused. To be the thead of a family" the person whom he supports must be a close relative, must live with him, and he must be such relatives sole support. To be entitled to exemption for Dependent the person whom he supports does not have to be a relative, but can be any child or any cripple or defective; t h e child or incapacitated adult may live anywhere; and it is necessary that he furnish only more than half of the support.
 The chief difference is that for ''head of a family the restriction is to close re- latives, the evident object of which is to promote the home; for dependent" the restriction is to children un- der eighteen years of age or persons mentally or physi- cally defective, the object of which is to recognize mater ial assistance given to those who cannot help themselves.
 A son, who has left home, but who still sends to his mother more than half of her support with enough re- gularity that she may de- pend upon it, can be allowed the additional $200; provid- ed however that the mother has become sufficiently aged to be without doubt physi- cally incapacitated for self support. Otherwise, t h e amount contributed must be considered as a gift, not de- ductible as an expense and not entitling him to the ad- ditional exemption regard less of amount.
 A father may claim the exemption for every child under eighteen years of age. But if one of his children re- ceives, from some estate or otherwise, sufficient distri- buted income to provide for the expense of his support in the station of life in which he is placed, the father cannot claim the exemption with respect to that child, for, although the child is legally dependent upon him he is in fact financially inde- pendent.

MRS. H. WATSON DEAD

Susan E.. Murray Watson was born in Iona, Michigan, March 8, 1S43 and departed this life on Saturday, Nov. 20, 1920, aged TT years, 8 months and IT days.
 She moved to Arkansas thirty five years ago, at that time she was about forty one years of age. She has con tinously resided in this state until the day of her decease.

SALE OF BUSINESS LOTS

w. J. Robbins reports the sale of all of block number A with the ex- ception of lot 10, and the north 50 feet off lots 4, 5, and 6, to MT. J. A. Long, who will begin the erection of a modern garage and business build- ing at once. Lot 10 was sold to E.. M. Williams, who will build new office building in the spring. This deal shows what Messrs. Long and Williams think of the future of Car lisle.
 This is one of the most important deals closed here for some time as it means the improvement of block adjoining the business district of our town.
 Mr. B. D. Muzzy who formerly owned this block says the balance of the property owned by him here is taken off the market. He has made several large sales of--land during the past year and feels as though he wants to retain an interest in Car lisle property as an investment.
 The block of ground here mention ed has laid idle for many years, as it was in the hands of non-progressive owners before MT. Muzzy acquired it few months ago. Could it have been purchased it would have been built up long ago and would have add ed greatly to the growth and pros- perity of Carlisle. Now that it has gotten into the hands of people who believe in doing things it will not be longs before several new building will be added to the town.

QUORUM COURT MEETS

The Lonoke County Quorum Court met at Lonoke. Monday. Nov. 22nd, Squire Albert Zimmerman and L. R.. Kirby representing Carlisle township.
 As the road tax measure carried at the recent election, the court voted the usual 3 mill road tax.
 The committee on plans for new court house was not ready to report and asked for further time to consid- CT this matter.
 The tick eradication work was brought up again, but on roll call only of the Justices voted for an appro- priation, so no money from the coun- ty is available for this work.
 The County Judge stated that con- siderable supplies for charging dip ping vats were on hand, and that per- sons desiring to dip their cattle, could secure supply by applying to him at the court house.
 The Court voted to recommend that the Legislature pass an act providing that each male person between the ages of 21 and 45 pay a road tax of $4.00 to be collected as other taxes are collected, by the Tax Collector.
 The County Judge allowed $15.00 per month temporarily towards the relief of W. P. Garner and wife of Carlisle, Ark.

STATE MANAGER ROMAN HERE

MT. J. R. Roman, state manager of the Southern Rice Growers associa- ton, who formerly was located here as manager of the Carlisle-Lonoke District, was over from his headquar- ters at Stuttgart this week. MT. Ro- man feels highly elated over the new plan of handling the rice and gives as his opinion that the rice will bring the grower from $1.25 to $1.50 a bushel for his crop that is now being milled
 Mir. Roman says that rice is moving as well as could be expected in most of the rice districts and that Arkan- sas rice will join the movement as soon as samples can be gotten to the buyers. This delay has been on ac- count of our mills not getting started as soon as the mills of other parts of the country. The Arkansas crop is of the very best quality and will go on the market at as good if not better price as any grown in the United States.

The work on the road between Car lisle and Lonoke is progressing rap idly and if the good weather holds out it will not be long until hard surface road will be completed, connecting Carlisle and the county seat with one of the finest stretches of pike road m the state. Many of our rice farmers who have finished their seasons work are letting their teams to the road builders. This is one of the best moves that has been made in the road construction work, as it keeps the money here, where the tax for the road is to be paid.
 The big sales still going on in Car lisle are proving successful and It would seem from outside observation that there is still money enough m the country for people to buy what they want. One can see packages Of all descriptions leaving the stores that are having sales and people from many miles distant have been induced by the liberal advertising of these merchants to come here to trade. The merchants of Carlisle are meeting the price conditions and the public IS pro- fitting by it.
 The road from this city to Hazen has been graveled and put Tn good condition, and during drive Sunday we noticed that several miles of gray el had been put on the road south ot Hazen, and there will soon be a good nike road about half way from Hazen 1 to Stuttgart.
