INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE.

In order to clear away misun-
standings as to what constitutes
dependency. in connection with
the additional exemption granted
Income tax payers, Collector of
internal Revenue Rufus w. Fon-
tenot today gave out the follow
ing statement:
"For 1919 taxpayer may be
allowed a credit of 5000 for eacn
pOrsor for whom he is the chief
support. But it must be remem-
bered that he can claim this ad-
ditional exemption only with
respect to children seventeen
years Of age or younger and per-
sons mentally defective, cripples
and persons old enough to be with
out question physically incapacl-
tated for self support.
If the taxpayer contributes to
the support Of some relative or
other person who is over seventeen
years of age, in fair health, and
still active, he cannot be allowed
the additional 5000 even if he is
furnishing the chief support.
The very different requirements
Of the two exemptions C"head of
a family" additional $1,000; "de-
pendent" additional 5000 must
not be confused. To be the
"head of a family" the person
whom he supports must be close
relative, must live with him, and
he must be such relatives sole
support. To be entitled to ex-
emption for dependent" the
person whom he supports does not
have to be relative, but can he
any child or any cripple or defec-
tive, the child or incapac-
itated adult may live any
where; and it is necessary that he
furnish only more than half of the
support.
The chief difference is that Tor
"head of family the restric-
ton is to close relatives, the evil
dent object Of which is to pro-
mote the home; for dependent"
the restriction is to children under
eighteen years of age or persons
mentally or physically defective,
the object of which is to recognize
material 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 regularity that she may
depend upon it, can he allowed
the additional 5000; provided
however that the mother has be-
come sufficiently aged to- be with
out doubt physically incapacitated
for self support. Otherwise. the

For saIe.by all first class grocers

amount contributed must be con
sidered as a gift, not deductiblt
as an expense and not emitting
him to the additional exemption
REGARDLESS sof amount.
A father may claim the ex.
emption for every child under
eighteen years of age, but, If one
of his children receives, from
some estate or otherwise, sufficient
distributed income to provide fol
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 chi'd
is legally dependent upon him he
is in fact financially independent.

a Missouri farmer writes that
he is working a 240 acre farm
without help and that hundreds Of
other farmers are doing the same.

Other farmers write:

"The trouble is the big pay,

"The time is at hand when the
farmer anil the consumer must

GERMANY. FORCED TO
OBEY PEACE TERMS
ON COAL DELIVERY.
NEW THREAT is SENT BERLIN
PACE CALLS FOR 100000 TONS
MONTHLY DELIVERED TO Al
LiES-FORMER FOE PLEADS
FOR MORE TIME.

Spa July 1a.-Tho allies served an
ultimatum at the conference here
Monday that the Germans must a-rce
by p. m. today to deliver to the al
lies 100000 tous of coal monthly.
Otherwise. the Germans were in
formed the allies viii take measures
to enforce the Versailles treaty.
Thus the negotiatns have reached
another tense point The spirit Of
Cancellation adopted by both sides has
prevented a break thus far. but The
allies found it necessary to issue this
ultimatum. The treaty entities them
to a greater amount OF coal than is
demanded.
Coal was the topic during a three
hour session Of Premier Mllarani

Italian foreign minister: Nisclunt
Chinda, Japanese minister to Great
Britain; Premier DeIacroiX of Bel
GUM, konstantin Fehrenhach. Ger
man chancellor, and DR.. Walter 81
mons. German foreign minister.
The allies began by insisting upon
a monthly delivery of 100000 tons
The Germans offered 100000 tons
and the allies reduced their demand |
to 100000.
DR.. Simons said;
My contention is in European i'm
erests, as much as in the interest OF .
Germany, because our payments to-
you are conditioned upon our indus .
trial production, You want your
money. We want you to have it. but F
how can we pay large sums II Won

The German foreign minister Of +
erred then to increase the deliveries
If coal fro m1100 600 tons to 100000
within six months and to 100000 +
ons within year. |
This could only be done. he said. if
he allies made better food condi-
ions possible for the miners and
contributed raw materials to build
,Cuses for more miners.
The premiers, after prolonged dis
'ussion, informed Chancellor Fehren-
zach and Or Simons that the allies
must have their final answer today
If the Germans reply was rejection
he allies, it was said would take
,masures to enforce their demands
either by occupation Of mining terri
tory or by sending their own coal
commission into Germany.
