MUST PLAY SAFE ON
YOUR INCOME TAX
ALL PERSONS RECEIVING MORE
THAN MINIMUM MUST FILE.
FAILURE MEANS A FINE.

If you are an unmarried citizen
and made $1,000 or more during the
calendar year 1919, or, if you are a
married man and made $4,000 or
more during the calendar year, don't
fail to file an income tax return
There are certain provisions which
may exempt many men from paying
| income tax, but the safest way is to
| file a return before March list.
10000 Exempted Persons Fined.
Because of their failure to file re-
turns before March 1st last year TO-
1000 citizens paid fines of S. each,
even though their incomes were not
within the taxable limit, according to
statistics. The law makes no excep-
tons as to the filing Of returns if the
income Of the citizen was 81 900 or
$4,000, as the case may have been.
Unmarried persons whose income
was $1,000 or less, will not be taxed,
| and the incomes of married men or
lheads of families will not be taxable,
| if his income is under $4,000. Addi-
tional exemption is made to the mar
ried man or head of the family if he
is supporting one or more of the fami-
| ly under 10 years of age. This allows
an exemption of 5000 for each de-
! pendent member of the family.
This, For Example.
A married man or the head of a
family who is supporting two chill
| dren under ~ wears of age will be
exempted from income tax if his in
come does not exceed $4,000. Yet a
| man of this status will be required to
file an income tax return, and is liza
BILE to a fine for failure to do so. This
also applies to single man who is
supporting a part of the family. If an
unmarried man is supporting one sis
ter, and his income is less than ST.
200, he will be exempted. Yet, the
law requires that he file tax return.

u. S. LETS A CONTRACT
FOR FENCE ON THE BORDER
Barbed Wire to Stop Smuggling on
The Mexican Line.

CALEXICO, Cal.-Contract for a
border fence to separate Calexico
from Mexicalli has been let by the
United States government, and the
work is expected to be finished be-
fore the end of January.
The fence will be 10000 feet long,
6 feet high, with barbed wire over
hand and will be of metal mesh at
tached to metal posts. There will be
gates for traffic and for the railroad
crossing the international line here,
and a turnstile at the customs house.
The fence is intended to aid in bet
ter regulation of the great flow of
daily international traffic, and to help
in avoiding border clashes. Literally
thousands of persons pass and repass
the line daily here, and without some
means of regulation petty smuggling
and evasion of border regulations are
difficult to prevent.

ASKS S25O,OOO,OOO
TO RECLAIM SWAMPS
MILLIONS OF ACRES IN SOUTH
COULD BE TURNED INTO
PROFITABLE FARMS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Legisla-
ton authorizing an appropriation OF
$25O,000,000 for use in retaining
swamp, overflow and irrigable lands
was proposed today by D. D. Ross, at
conference of representatives of
southern governors, held here under
the joint auspices of the Southern
House of Governors and Southern
Commercial Congress.
This capital sum, the plan provid-
ed, would be repaid over period of
twenty-five years through sinking
fund created by the sale of collateral
bonds issued on the reclaimed lands
by the federal farm loan board. The
amount is one-half of the appropria-
ton authorized for reclamation prof.
ects by the Smoot-Mondell bill, in
troduced at the last session of con-
gress.
South Most Interested.
While the plan was designed to be
national in its scope, Mr.. Ross declar-
ed it to be of especial interest to the
south in that about 100000 of the
| 80,000,000 acres of swamp and over
flow land in the United States are
located in southern states.
The south now contains the ma
TONS great reserve of agricultural
lands, Mr.. Ross said. The hundreds Of
million acres of free agricultural land
of our western domain have all been
appropriated and utilized and are
now worth $3.50 to $500 per acre.
The great western frontier, the
development of which during the past
fifty years has established our ma
tional wealth and power, is no longer
frontier. The frontier has been
shifted to the south"

discovery, the scientist was almost
a physical wreck, but soon after,
by the aid Of his own treatment,
he was able to regain his former
robust health, which he has enjoyed
ever since"
To use Mr.. POmeroy's own words
disease is just like the Heppe-
| lin. 1t is just as heartless and
cruel, and even more destructive
| than the murderous airships OF the
ruthless Hun. 1t is also, as ! have
demonstrated, just as vulnerable in
most cases to the right kind OF
treatment. | have perfected a
medicine that conquers stomach
trouble, and the ills that result
therefrom, just as surely as my bull
! let freed England from the terrors
of the assassins of the air. To my
mind, the bullet is a small and in
significant contribution to human
! ity compared with my medicine,
which is, as surely as ! live, des-
tined to free multiplied thousands
from one of the most deadly and
cruel enemies of the human race"
"Only recently" said his secre-
tary, "at the suggestion Of a group
of business men and capitalists, he
consented to permit the use of his
| product as a commercial PROPOSE
ton, but then only when he was
convinced that in no other way
could he hope to reach and benefit
hundreds of thousands Of people
who really needed his medicine. 1t
was shown to him that he could
only reach a limited number
through his own personal work,
whereas if his medicine were
placed within reach of those who
need it, everyone would have the
opportunity to benefit from his
great discovers. However, Mr.
Pomeroy insisted that with every
bottle there would also be given d
guarantee that the purchaser is to
be returned his money if satisfac-
tory results are not obtained"
1t is reported that quite a few of
the leading druggists in this sec
ton have already taken steps to
get Mr. POmeroy's famous medi-
cine, which is called Puratone, so
the people here will have the op-
portunity to benefit by it the same
as the people Of the big cities
whore Mr. Pomeroy is visiting.
| Everywhere Mr.. POmeroy drives
home the basic truth" remarked
his secretary, that the stom-
ach is the organ that governs the
| general health OF all mankind, and
it is his theory that if the stomach
is toned up and strengthened, and
its functions properly directed, it
! follows, as surely as the night fol
lows day that the other organs Of
the system will respond and that
robust health and strength will be
restored to the weak and sickly.
''He is surrounded by mass of
data right now" continued his sec
rotary "and you can depend upon
it that the results of his work will
be startling disclosures that will
make men think"

tho assessors have taken out supplies
and gone to work. The four Whu wore
not on the JOB are expected TO report

they are not making assessments now
W believed to be due solely to the fact
that they have not seen members OF
the county board or have not heard the
decision OF the supervisors to let the
question Of pay 20 unchanged
The board considered the question
Wednesday and felt 1t had no authority
to guarantee wage equal to that paid
In 1919, whom the work required more
time. The assessors have not asked
for higher rate per day but they
want to be paid on a basis Of as many
work days A. were necessary year
ago. The pay OF the average township
assessor last year was ABOUT $lS0, 1t Is
said, and this year they will receive
about S125.

accepted the decision.

FOR COAL CONTROL
Common Council Will Receive Resolu- ton for Action at Meeting to Be Held This Month.

At the December meeting of the common council, Mayor O. F. Curtis will introduce a resolution having for it's purpose the expression of New Britain's favor to a movement on foot to have the Interstate Commerce Commission control the coal mining industry. The advantages to be gained are the lowering ofscoal costs and the guaranteeing of sufficient domestic supplies before coal is al- lowed to leave the country, also the curtailment of the present ,profiteer- ing. Similar action will be taken by several other Connecticut cities. The movement was started by the city of Brockton, Mass.
 In the event of favorable action by the local common council, notification of the act act will be forwarded the Connecticut congressman with a re- quest that they work for hte passage of such legislation as may be neces- sary.
