THINGS ABOUT
.THEINCOME
YOU SHOULD
KNOW
Collector Fontenot Makes
Plain What Constitutes
a Dependent.
5000 FOR EACH
PERSON SUPPORTED
A Mother To Be Supported
Must Be Unable To
Support Herself.
Special to The Farmer:

1 oP0~1d1 " AA0 dIUu0T.
In order to clear away misunder-
standings as to what constitutes de-
pendency, in connection with the ad-
ditional exemption granted income
tax payers, Collector of Internal Rev
enue Rufus w. Fontehot gave out
the following statement:
For 1919 a taxpayer may be a.
lowed credit Of 5000 for each per-
son for whom eh is the chief support.
But it must be rememb bered that be
can claim this additional exemption
only with respect to children seven
teen years of age or younger and
persons mentally defective, cripples,
and persons old enough to be with
out question physically incapacitated
for self support.
IF the taxpayer contributes to
the support of some relatives or
other person who is over seventeen
years Of age, in fair health, and still
active, he cannot be allowed the ad-
ditional 5000 even if he is FURNISH
ing the chief support.
'The very different requirements
of the two exemptions ("Aead of
family" additional $1,000; depend
ent" additional $1,000 must not be
confused. To be the "head of a
family" the person whom he sup
ports must be close relative, must
live with him, and he must be such
relatives sole support. To be en-
titled to exemption for dependents
the person whom he supports does
not have to be relative, but can be
any child or any cripple or defec-
tive; the child or incapacitated adult
may live anywhere; and it is neces-
sary that he furnish only more than
half of the support.
'The chief difference is that for
head of family the restriction is
to close relatives, the evident object
of which is to promote the home;
for dependent the restriction is to
under eighteen years Of age
or persons mentally or physically de-
fective, the object of which is to rec
ognize material assistance given to
hose who cannot help themselves.
A son, who has left home, but
who still sends to his mother more
han half of her support with enough
'egularity that she may depend ap-
IN it, can be allowed the additional
200; provided, however, that the
mother has become sufficiently aged
o be without doubt physically in
for self support. Other
wise, the amount contributed must
70 considered as "a gift, not deduct
BILE as an expense and not emitting
lin to the additional exemption re-
,ardelss of amount.
"A father may claim the exemp-
ion for every child under eighteen
ears of age, but if one of his child
en- receives, from some estate or
therwise, sufficient distributed in
ONE to provide for the expense of
is support in the station of life in
which he is placed, the father can
OF claim the exemption with respect
D that child, for, although the child
, legally dependent upon him he Is
4 fact financially Independent"

No Reason for Assault Is
Given and Man Has
Not Been Caught.
MASK AND GLOVES
WORN IN DAYLIGHT
Boy Assaulted On Three
Occasions and is Finally
S!ashed With Knife,

A mysterious man, masked and
gloved, has caused some excitemen.
in New Covington, in Madison street,
near st. Paups College. No motive
is known for his actions and the
object of his assault, a son of Mr..
Vane, an insurance man. is not able
to give any explanation of why he
should be waylaid and is not aware
of having done anything to excite the
animosity Of any one. The object is
evidently one of revenge and not rob-
berry.
On the statement of the boy that
he was assaulted by masked man
who wore gloves and was knocked
down as he entered the barn on the
premises, not more than $50 feet
from. Lhe house. Last Tuesday he
was again assaulted as he entered
the barn in the evening and was
struck with a piece of stove wood.
The next evening Wednesday, the
boys parents went with him to the
barn to protect him in case he was
again assaulted. In the meantime
the boy returned to the house with
out his parents, and as he entered
the room the same masked and GLOW
ed man, with the remark that he nov
had MIN where he wanted him,
slashed at him with a knife, cutting
his clothing and gashlng the skin
underneath. The man then escaped.
Deputies QuatreveauX and Morrison |
were assigned to the case hut SO /
far no traces of the man have been |
found. The neighbors are puZZlea |
by the mystery.

CARD OF THANKS.

Galloway, La, Feb. 2, 1920.
] wish to express through this
medium my heartfelt thanks and
deepest admiration to my loyal
friends and supporters for their earn
est efforts in my behalf in the Demo-
cratic primary ON January 20, 1920.

democratic and would prefer an hou-
est defeat rather than an Illegal VIC
tory. l still feel that our ward
should stand for higher ideals and
cleaner methods in order that our
people might have the right which
is granted them by the Constitution
of Louisiana, our loved State.
am not going into seclusion, by
any means. l expect to strive for
the upbuilding and progress of our
ward aud parish, regardless of wha.
my political enemies may do or say.
| expect to remain loyal at all times.
Try me and see.
Yours truly,

The following letter will be of in.
terest to our farmers: -: ~.

Covington Association of Commerce
Gentlemen:-First molasses with
Is per cent solids, usually runs De-
tween 35-44 per cent sugar; while
second molasses of Is per cen-
solids, will run from 1886 per cent
sugar.
The weight of a gallon of syrup
of 80 degrees Baume, while hot, IS
11.15 pounds. If the specific gravi-
ty is taken when the syrup is cold.
and it shows 80, gallon would
weigh 1866 pounds.
We are sending you under sepa-
rate cover our bulletin No. 129 on
Cane Syrup Making.
In shipping cane from the sugar
belt into your section Of the coun-
try you should be very careful tina.
you get your seed from plantation
that you know to be free from the
Mosaic disease, as we'll as the cane
borer, and would advise that when
you loaate such a place that you have
some one who is familiar with these
two pests to make an inspection be-
fore making shipment.
We have from time to time analyz-
ed cane from your section and have
found it to be unusually rich il
sugar.
Yours truly,

Asst. Director La. Sugar Expert
ment Station.
Farmers wishing this valuable bui-
letin, No. 1873, containing informa-
tion about syrup making as well as
fertilizing, cultivating, etc., may get
same by calling at the Covington AS
sociation of Commerce Office.
With the natural advantages this
soil and climate give to the syrup of
this section as state above our farm
ers have a decided advantage owe:
the growers elsewhere. If in addi-
tion to this they would use more
sanitary methods generally arouni
their mills and cooking pans, AMI
used finer strains so that they
cOulQ prevent any lOFelBu pdFLlcleo
from entering the syrup, and then
used a Baume tester SO that they
would know how thin they were
cooking it, and all cooked to the
same degree, our syrup would be-
come famous and in greater demand.
However, we can never put out the
highest quality product, or uniform
Iuality, nor can we market it to the
,est advantage until we have a cen-
raj syrup making plant. Differ
,nces in soil will affect color and |
lavor, when manufactured by the |
mall mills.
A move is on foot to erect such a |
liant nere this summer to be ready |
or fa.1 operation. This will be
.reat thing for our parish, because
ane and yama will ultimately be
ur best and biggest crop. More
forage houses and curing plants
7ill take care of the roots" with

Miss Janel1a Lansing has arrived
and taken up her work as public
nurse. AS plans are outlined a sys-
tematic effort will be made to pro-
tect the growing youth from the mis-
takes that led to SO much physical
disability in the army during the
war. A knowledge of how to dete:t
defects in child and the necessary
precautions to prevent these defec s
from growing into permanent III
jury makes it a simple matter If
parental care to avoid physical and
mental drawbacks. This is an i'm
portant part of Miss Lansing's WORK
and would alone, if no other wo:K
was done, amply repay for all the
trouble and expense of a public
nurse.
