issued all improved Form 1O40F for the use of farmers. This form, to- gether with Form 1040A or e04O, will give the farmer explicit information as to how to properly figure his net income for 1919.
 There are two methods of figuring a farmers income tax return this year. He may make his return on the basis of the difference between the money and goods received for his products and the cash paid out for actual allow able farm expenses within the year. Or he may make his return on the ac- crual basis which means computing the receipts and expenses that pertain to the taxable year, excluding income earned and expenses incurred in pre- vious or succeeding years.

 Shrinkage in weight or value of farm products held for favorable market prices cannot be deducted as loss, for the reason that when such products are sold the shrinkage will be reflected in the selling price.
 Sale of Farms and Land.
 The value of agricultural lands has been jumping during the past few years. and during 1919 many owners sold out part or all of their lands at big profits. All such gains constitute income and must be taken into the net income for the year.
 Any person who sold part of farm or ranch, or part of parcel of land, must also show any gains realized by the sale
 The method of figuring gains and losses on such transactions is pre- scribed in the Income Tax regulations. copies Of which may be secured from Internal Revenue Collectors

Fellows, Masops, Elks, MT. Francis representing the board of supervisors. It was decided that it was too late to attempt having community Christmas tree, but that next year the work would be started earlier, in am- pie time to have tree. A committee was appointed, consisting of one mem- Der from each organization represent ed at the meeting. This committee to handle all the details of the Christ mas giving, which is to be confined to wearing apparel, food and real neces- sities.
 Mrs. D. s. Roome is chairman of this committee, which is divided into two sub-committees, the work of solic- iting money and gifts, getting the names of those who should receive presents and buying and distrib- uting being divided up between the two sub-committees. Rev. w. H. Took is chairman of one b-committee, his fellow workers being Mrs. Arthur Foster, MT. and Mrs. Clarence Sulli- van, Miss Ethel Compton and Frank Hanley.
 J. D. Jackson is chairman of the other subcommittee and associated with him are Mrs. T. E. Pollock, Miss Minnie Lintz. Miss Frieda Johnson and Dan w. Francis.
 Several of the organizations have already appropriated money toward the good work. The Elks, Eastern Star, Knights and Ladies of Security, the Christian Science society, and the Woman's club are among the number. MT. Francis was authorized by the board of supervisors to offer financial assistance to the cause. Most of the other organizations, it was expected at Saturdays meeting, would also help as soon as they held meetings or could get their trustees together.
 Every effort will be made by the committee to make this Christmas a memorable one for the poor people who otherwise would have very little opportunity to partake of the joyous ness of the day. With additional clothing, perhaps needed fuel and plenty of good things to eat, the poo will have cause to rejoice, though not as much as those who do the giving for of a verity, to paraphrase the Bi- ble, it's a lot more fun giving than re- ceiving.
 If you have anything to give-mon- ey, food, fuel or clothing, notify one of the committee at once. Your helI will be welcomed.

"HUMORESQUE" DRAWS
 POPULAR CROWDS

Art in motion pictures, it has long been conceded, has reached wonder ful state of perfection but it remained for Frank Borzage to prove to the world that motion pictures have reach ed that stage where it Is possible to sway an audience through direct ap- peal to the heart with an even great CT accuracy and directness than has been possible with the most accom- plished of the school of speaking stage.
 Borzage's proof lies in "Humor- esque" which started it's engagement at the Rialto Monday, where the larg- est crowds which ever turned out in Tucson to witness motion picture, were on hand to welcome the produc- ton which has been heralded from coast to coast as the silent dramas s supreme tribute to mother love.
 The heralding has not in a single que" is so sweetly simple, so power fully appealing, so tremendously nat ural, and so humanly possible that the reviewer finds it indeed difficult task to express in appropriate language the strength of the hold the picture takes on the emotion. "Humoresque" is a story of life itself, unfolded with a perfect understanding of human hopes and human aspirations, a blending of human hearts and souls, all enveloped in the tender care of constant mother love.
 Vera Gordon as the mother has brought to the screen an undying in depreciation. The type is superb, her deep understanding of the trials and responsibilities of the cares of moth- erhood, her invincible delineation of a mother whose whole life is wrapped up in her little flock, her perfect adap- tation to the environment in which Fannie Hurst, the author, has builded the powerful story, have all been merged with consummate skill into a perfect jewel of screen registration, and one that will live long in the mem- ory of those who visit the Rialto dur ing this engagement
 Castor Glass as the hero son could not have been more perfectly trained. While the three mentioned have the handling of the leading roles, the en- tire company contributed wonders to the production, which is making his tory in the world of motion pictures.
 The above from a Tucson paper gives faint description of the fa- nous picture.
 "Humoresque" has been secured by the Ladies' Social circle for New Years afternoon and night, at the Or pheum, the proceeds to go to the needy of Flagstaff. Be sure to see it.

BANK PRESIDENT DI-
 LATES ON ADVERTISING

"Our whole social order is di- rectly affected by advertising" says F. o. Watts, president of the First National bank, in St. Louis. "For not only our happiness and progress, but our very national existence depends upon our pro- duction, and our production must follow distribution.
 "The secret of successful and progressive distribution is adver- Using. Therefore, the deduction is simple, and we cannot do bet ter thing at the present time than to foster and encourage scientific advertising along the most whole some economic lines.
 'It was a great day when leg isimate business decided that adv vertising never was the proprie- tory usage of the 'bally hoo and the faker, and it was a greater day when legitimate business decided that if advertising was a powerful force to build great bus mess, it ought also to be a pow erful force to protect it."- Fourth Estate.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

Time has healed most of the wounds of the war. In the United States the scars have almost vanished. But in open war wound remains. Its suffer- CTS are little children-children of war allies and war enemies, Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentile--but all too young to have had part in mak- ing the circumstances of which they are now the helpless victims.
 In the eye of America they are just hungry little children-3, ,500, ,000 of them who will die or suffer perman- ent injury through the stunting of mind and body from the effects of un- derfeeding unless America continues it's great self-imposed charity of pro- viding them with supplementary food and necessary medicines.
 In order to save these children eight great American organizations have banded together as the European Re lief council and have appealed to the American people. The organizations are the Federal Council of the Church es of Christ in America, the American Red Cross, the American Relief Ad- ministration, the Knights of Colum- bus, the Y. NJ. c. A., Y. w. c. A., the American Friends Service committee and the Jewish Joint Distribution committee. Herbert Hoover is na- tional chairman. Former Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is treas urer.
 The charity of the European Relief council is being administered on a policy that prevents pauperization and that develops self help. Every Amer ican dollar contributed to the straw ing children draws $2 from European sources as cash, food, rent, light, heat and transportation. The three dolla.s is so expended that it will give one child one full meal day for one month. Ten American dollars will carry child until next harvest.
 Ten American dollars will literally give a child Christmas present of its own life - the most magnificent Christmas gift in the world no matter what the price. America's Christmas shopping in lives, as in humber things should be done early.
 A check to Father Vabre is the life warrant for a European child. They are not Aperica's children. The high est court of justice in the world would not say that it is our obligation to feed them. Americas task is carried for ward on a nobler spirit than that of justice-it is mercy.

 December 14th, 1920. Mir. F. s. Breen, Coconino Sun,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 1 am getting a wonderful course here, not only in artillery but in the higher tactics of all the other branch es as well, and it surely is interesting. There are about hundred officers in this school, most of them are colonels and lieutenant colonels, and all of them are from the regular army with the exception of myself. The school lasts until the end of June, so we won't be back in Flagstaff until next sum- mer.
 Please give my regards to all of my boys. I have been too busy with my studies to write to them individually I am glad to hear that the .armory is coming along so we'll and that it will soon be ready for use.
 Very sincerely,

Soon he saw where some one who had been chewing to- bacco had spit on the snow. Then he cheered up a whole lot, kept pushing ahead, and soon came to Smiths cab. in, where he found Lesson, who had made the tracks while out hunting for the boy. He and Lesson with the Simmons car got back here Wednes- day. Roy was pretty much all in from not having enough to eat and the cold, but is all right now. MT.
