Twenty thousand persons last year
paid a fine Of 81 each for failure 70
file an income tax return for 1918,
although their income for that year
WIS not taxable.
The revenue act provides an es-
emption Of 81 900 for single persons,
s., 900 for married persons and heads
OF families and an addition exemp.
ton OF 5000 for each person depend
ent upon the taxpayer, II such a per
son is under rs years OF age or in
capable Of self-support.
The delinquents last year were
persons whose income exactly equal
ed the amount of the exemptions and
who considered IL unnecessary,
therefore, to file return, and Others
whose income was nontaxable be-
cause of dependents, and who were
under similar mistaken impression.
For example, single man with n
net income Of 81 900 was support
ing sister for whom he was allow
ed an exemption Of 5000, placing his
income in the nontaxable list. For
this reason he did not file a return.
When his delinquency was discover
ed through a return filed by his en-
pIoyer. who IL required TO report
payments of 81 900 or more to each
employee, he was fined IS.
TO avoid penalty. every person
whose income for the last year equal
ed or exceeded $1,000 or $4,000. ac-
cording TO their marital status, or
their status as the head of the fam

no exemptions, the failure being a
fine of not more than 81 900.
Whether or not a person Is the
'heard of family" and entitled to a
81 900 exemption is "A question TO be
determined largely by circumstances
surrounding each individual case.
The fixing Of his status decides, in
many instances, whether his income
is taxable or nontaxable.
A head of a family Is defined by
treasury regulations as "a person
who actually supports and maintains
one or more individuals who are
closely connected with him blood re-

or by adoption, and whose rights 70

for these dependents is based upon
some moral or legal obligation"
A single person is the head Of a
family il he is the sole support of rel
atives living in the same house with
him and II he exercises control of
household affairs. The words sole

ATKINSON TO LEAD
 STATE CAMPAIGN

Co1um btana, August 13. - Especially At a conference and meeting of the republican state executive committee some days ago, Pope M. Long was given authority to appoint a chairman of the state campaign committee, and Gordon Asley was named The pressure of other business matters, however, prevented him from accepting the posi- tion, and J. B. Atkinson of Clanton has been named for the place, and has agreed to accept.
 MT. Atkinson was the only original Harding delegate on the delegation and in recognition of this fact and his ability as an organizer, he has been appointed to conduct the campaign in Alabama. For the present the headquarters will be in Clanton, but there will be sub committee in each congressional dis trict and a vigorous campaign will be waged throughout the whole state. The following are members of the campaign committee: Charles Boothe, Prattville; {; c. M. Cox, Ozark; Will B. Foster Hamil- ton; R. o. Nugent, Attalla; P. D. Barker, Mobile; Charles Holland, Birmingham Aubrey Thomas, Jenifer. Charles M Farley has been appointed secretary and treasurer.

PRATTVILLE

Prattville, August Special )-The prospect for paving all the Sidewalks and two of the principal streets in this city is good The city council has acted and objections and exceptions to paw ing will be heard before the council on the 24th of August. and as soon aftsr that as possible the contract will be let and the work is expected to begin imme- diately. The old sidewalks of dirt are poor at best, but the flood last Decem- Der damaged Prattville sidewalks almost beyond repair. The two streets pro- posed to be paved will greatly improve prove a saving of much expense of re- pairs.
 Col Woolsey Fennel, contractor for the dam work across Autuga creek here for the Cotton Mills and Continental Gin Company. suffered some damage on this work by reason of high water m the creek yesterday. The damage Will probably be as much as $500 or $500 dol been since December.
 The work on the new building at the west end of Second street on the frac- tional block between Autauga creek and Second street is progressing, and the building will be finished in the early fall.
 The recent rains will damage the cot ton crop in aiding the boil weevil to in crease. The cotton crop will be one half or less in this county on account of the work of the boil weevil.
 The corn crop is better than was ex- pected for while, but not as good as was year before last Better than last years crop means that the corn made in the county will probably last the county till the oats are ready to feed on next spring.

SCHOOLS FACING
 SHORTAGE 0F COAL
Coal Company Unable to Fill Contract With City
 for Winter Supply

Birmingham public schools face a possible shutdown this winter on ac- count of coal shortage.
 Ed Mckinley, city purchasing agent, stated yesterday that he had a contract with a coal company to furnish 300 tons of coal per month during the sum- mer and fall. Only a small fraction of this amount has been delivered and the company notified MT. Mckinley this week that it would be impossible to fill the contract
 About 5000 tons are required to run the Birmingham schools for one ses- sion. Fortunately, the city has on hand 1000 tons from last year, which was laid aside for an emergency. Accord ing to Mr. Mckinley this amount will run the schools until about January l. This amount has already been dis tributed to the different schools.
 At present I don't know what we are going to do about getting the re- mainder of the coal needed" said MT Mckinley. The board of education has two trucks which might be used to haul the coal from the mines in case of transportation trouble"
 Birmingham is fortunate in having over 2.000 tons on hand. Reports from Louisville are to the effect that none of the 5000 tons of coal needed for the public schools there has been ob- tained. Appeals have been made by the board of education of Louisville to the federal authorities to give assistance in obtaining supply for the schools.
 Mir Mckinley in private life is a coal dealer. AS such he is familiar with market conditions of coal and will place an order as soon as any fuel is obtainable.

One of the great advantages to the housewife in using the forequarter and less expensive cuts of beef is that she can put them in the fireless cooker in the morning. go off and leave them all day, gently simmering, and come home to find perfectly cooked, delicious dish ready to serve. In these days of many activities and interests for up-and-d do ing women, this is quite an advantage, and when one becomes accustomed to exercising forethought in the matter of selection it is the much simpler way to plan.
