personal exemption of 1000, leaving
a balance of $4,000. On the first
$4,000 he pays at the normal rate of
4 per cent, $3.50. On the remaining

l per cent, or $40. On the amount of
his income between $4,000 and $500
he pays a surtax of 2 per cent. The
total, normal and surtax, is 1888 as
compared with $412 for 1918.
Husband n wife whose combined
not income for 1919 equalled or ex-
ceeded $4,000 must file a return,
either separate or joint as desired. A
widow, a woman living apart from her
husband, Or a maid must file a return
if her net income equaled or exceed
ed $1,000. A minor whose income for
1919 was $1,000 or more must make
a return. If the minors income was
less than s1,000, 1t must be Included

The 12-25 H. P.Waterloo Boy
Tractor is just the kind of ma
chine that we like to put into the
hands of our customers.
There is nothing experimental about it.
Its dependability has been fully proved in
years of service on the farm. Every time we
sell one, we feel the assurance that the owner is
going to get fully satisfactory service from it.
And that means great deal to the future of our
business.
Right along with it's dependability for
long continued good work, there is an
other big feature that you will appreciate every
day you use the Waterloo Boy.
It burns kerosene completely. It's pat
ented kerosene manifold-one that you
can get on no other tractor-converts all of the
low-priced fuel into highly combustible gas,
enabling the engine to get full power from every
drop.

MEMORIAL

A sad home on Aug. 20. 1920. Just
one year ago to-day the death angel
slipped into the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Len Weatherholt and took from them
their two children, Augusta, age s.,
and Woodrow, age years, to live
with Jesus. Yes, just one year ago
today little Augusta and Woodrow
went away.
How sad and lonely is our home
Our hearts are broken.
One long year has passed away
Since that sad and mournful day,
When God alone knew best
And called Augusta and Woodrow
to rest.
Two precious ones from us are gone,
Two voices we loved are stlled;
Two places are vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
We miss you dear Augusta and Wood
row,
We miss you every day;
Sad and long we often weep
In the morning and in the evening
And when all the world is asleep.
In the lonely graveyard sleeping
Where the flowers bloom and fade,
Are the ones we love so dearly
In the lone and silent graves.
How we miss you since
From earth you passed away;
Sad our hearts and sweet the memory
As we think of you today
Those lovely buds so young and fair
Called hence by earthly doom,
Just come to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Twelve long months have passed
Since you were taken away,
You are gone, dear Augusta and
Woodrow,
But you are not forgotten,
Nor never shall you be
For as long as memory lasts
| will always think of you
Mother, Mrs. Mary Weatherholt

EXPLORING THE AIR
New Device May Be Capable O.
Reaching the Moon.
Exploration OF the Higher Levels o'
the Air 10 Believed TO Be Entirely
Feasible.

Washington.-A method Of sending
apparatus to the hitherto unreached
higher layers of the air, to the regions
beyond the earth's atmosphere. and
even as far as the moon Itself. Is de-
scribed by Prof Robert H. Goddard Of
Clark college In recent publication
for the Smithsonian institution at
Washington. The. new apparatus is q
multiple-charge high efficiency rocket
OF an entirely new design.
"rhe great scientific value Of Pro-
fessOr Goddard's experiments" says
the announcement. ''lies In the pos
sibillty Of sending recording apparatus
to moderate and extreme attitudes
within the earth's atmosphere. The
nature of the higher levels Of the air
has for long time been a subject OF
much speculation as to their chemical
composition. temperature, electrical
nature, density, ozone contents. etc.
1.-THE highest level that has ever
been reached up to the present time
with recording instruments is about
loon. AS the earth's atmosphere ex-
tends some 200 miles out. there is q
great unknown region, knowledge Of
which would greatly benefit the science
Of meteorology.
"The balloon with Its recording APP
paratus requires several hours tn as
cend to Its highest altitude, drifts hori-
zontally for considerable period Of
time and may come down, at great
distance from Its starting point. Its
recovery by the sender depends on the
chance Of Its descent being noticed
and on the willingness Of the finder
to return ii. Thus 1t may be days or
weeks before the record taken is made
available.
"On the other hand, the new rocket
apparatus would 60 straight up and
come straight down, the whole opera
ton probably consuming less than half
an hour. Thus daily observations at
any desired altitude for use In weather
prediction could be easily taken.
1.-THE time Of ascent Of the rocket
will be very short. only six and one
half minutes being required to carry
the apparatus up $50 miles, somewhere
near the outer limit of the earth's at
mosphere. The too rapid descent Of
the recording instruments could easily
be checked by the use of small para.
chute.
Professor Goddard is at present,
under grant from the Smithsonian
institution. perfecting the reloading
mechanism whereby successive charges
are inserted In the explosion chamber
during its upward flight, and 1t is
hoped shortly To be able TO demon

this new type of rocket
