Profit PER TON!
The facts established by the u. S. Federal Trade
Commission are published broadcast. They are
known to all men. Anthracite owners "margins"
according to that authority were less than 50 cents
per gross ton in 1918. This represented operations
producing 95 per Of the total tonnage of fresh
mined anthracite.
From 1918 to 1918 inclusive Covering the war perodD
the margin on which mine owners depended for
profit was a. cents per From this had to be paid
interest, selling expenses, Federal taxes, etc. before
anything was available for dividends
In other words whatever the price you paid for coal
say 81 to Sl4-the mine on the average never
retained more han 43 cents per ton on your total
coal BILL This shous that there no inflated udr.une
profits.
Today the average margin" In the anthracite region
does not exceed % cents ton. The operator is for
tunate whose margin approximates that figure Only
few exceed it, most of them make less and many ara

REBUILD TRESTLEs AND BRIDGES
Great Amount of Repair Work To Be
Done on Kootenai Valley Railway.

The Great Northern Railway COM
pany plans to proceed at once with
the construction of new bridges and
trestles on the Kootenai Valley rail
way branch line running from Bon
ners Ferry to Porthill, a distance of
38 miles
Fourteen carloads of bridge material
arrived here Tuesday to be used in
the construction work.
Supt. o. c. Gilmore and his crew
OF bridge carpenters are now on the
ground. For more than a year this
crew has been stationed here making
repairs of trestles and bridges on the
main line of the Great Northern. 1t
is expected that the work now planned
on the Kootenai Valley line will be
finished in about a year.
An inspection of the Kootenai Valley
Railway line made several months ago
by Great Northern officials, resulted
in nearly all the bridges and trestles
being condemned. 1t is alleged that
the Great Northern desired to abandon
the line but were not permitted to do
so on account of protests made by
those served in the Kootenai Valley.
1t has also been rumored lately that
the Great Northern Railway Company
now plans to extend the Kootenai Val
ley line to Nelson, B. c. The extern
sion could be made by laying some 40
miles Of new track and would give
the Nelson district cheaper and quick
er freight service.

DISAGREE ON MORAL DRESS
Clergymen Condemn Wotnen's Present
Styles on Ground of Health

Philadelphia, Jan. ga jury of
nearly 1,200 clergymen, asked by the
Women's Dress Committee to judge
the clothes of the fair sex, has dis
agreed. Although the majority do
not fay feminine fashion as being I'M
modest they say that if women do err
they do SO against health rather than
against morals.
Women's waists should cover their
necks, unless they want to get pnue-
monia," advises the Rev. NJ. G. Kyle,
Professor of Xenia United P~resbyte-
rian Seminary, st. Louis. Skirts that
do not gather up the dirt of the streets

Benton, pastor of the Universalist
Church OF the Messiah. "But such alb
breviation of the skirt should be guild

can be and usually is done in such a
manner as to warrant no charge of
immodesty."
Bishop L. J. Coppin summed up his
views in this succinct fashion: women
should dress to be comfortable"
Another clergyman voices his disap-
prevail of women exposing their
bosoms as "unhygenic and dangerous"
He condemns tight lacing and urges
more protection from the knees to the
ankles. GAS to modesty," he says, ~
do not remember ever meeting any
lady on the Philadelphia streets whose
attire struck me as immodest."

clergymen who believe women wearing

Chairman of the Dress Reform Com

Farm Hands Average s64.95 a Month

Farm Hands average So4.So a Month
Wage rates for farm labor reached
their highest point in the history of
this country in 1920, as national aver
ages, according to figures gathered by
the Department of Agriculture and
made public.
The average wage rate for labor
hired by the month, it was shown,
was S46.89, with board, and $64.95
without board. For day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board and S4.30 with
out board. For day labor other than
at harvest the scale averaged $3.50
with board, and 1895 without board.
War conditions, it was found, had
greatly accelerated an upward o v
ment of farm wage rates that began
after 1895. The rate for that year for
hirings by the month without board
was $17.69 as an average for the
United States, and no other year in
the record of the bureau extending
back to 1886 had a lower rate, except
1879, with $16.42.
By 1902, this wage rate had ~increas-
ed to S22.14, by 1914 to $29.88, follow
ed by $30.15 in 1915, with no evidence
of war effect. This effect appeared,
the department figures disclosed, as
a small beginning in 1916, when the
wage rate was $32.83. Then followed
rapid rise to S40.43 in 1917, to S47.07
in 1918, to $56.29 in 1919, and to
S64.95 in 1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was 267
per cent. in 1920. The gain in the
20 years from 1895 to 1915 was 70 per
cent, while the gain in five years from
1916 to 1920 was 1877 per cent.

Income Tax Exemptions

Single persons, though required to
file a return if their net income for
1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if they
are heads of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such a person is defined by
Treasury regulations cas- a person who
actually supports and maintains IN
one household one or more individuals
who are closely connected with him by
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage or by adoption, and whose
right to exercise family control n
provide for these dependent indivld-
uals is based upon Some moral or legal
obligation" Such persons are allowed
the exemption of $4,000 granted a
married person. In addition they are
allowed a credit of $500 for each de-
pendent under IS years of age or IN
capable of s~elf-support because men
tally or physically defective.
Husband and Wife
A married person living with hus-
band and wife can not claim an addlt.
ional $4,000 exemption as the head OF
a family. His or her exemption IS
based upon the material status, irres-
D6cClN6 VI ClO T.
in the same household. The additional
5000 credit for dependents does not
apply to the husband or wife OF a tax
payer. For example, if a married man
supports a father who is incapable OF
self-support, he is entitled to the S2oo
credit for such person. If through
force of circumstances he supports ms
wife away from home he is entitled to
the $4,000 exemption allowed a mar
ried person, but not to a 500 credit
for a dependent.
A son who has left home but who
sends his mother more than one-hah
the sum required for her support Is
entitled to the $500 credit, provided
the mother can not support herself.
Otherwise the amount must be CON
sidered as a gift and, therefore, the
credit is not allowed. A son living at
home and supporting his father, moth
er, or other relative may claim the
$4,000 exemption allowed the head OF
a family, but not the 5000 credit unless
such relative is under Is years OF age
or incapable of self-support.

Sunday, the well-known evangelist, at

Church and among the lot persons
who professed conversion the past

games on the Sabbath during the past
summer, and others who Were of the

Nothing has stirred this growing
camp meeting and summer resort like
the meetings now being held and they
will be continued every night this week.
Officials of the Church express sur
prise and qualification.
Last night the Church was filled to
the doors and the service lasted until
IL o'clock. There were base ball
PLAYERS, business men and some of the
oldest residents who had not been at
tending Church very often In recent
years in attendance. Mrs. Tams, an
evangelistic singer, assisted, and when
David bergman, one of the Borough
officials, and his son, a base ball
player, walked up the aisle together
and knelt at the altar, it vas the be-

Where The Coal Goes

People in the United States who
were obliged to pay 81 a bushel for
potatoes last winter are not likely to
view with favor a bill just introduced
into the national House of Representa-
tives providing for a one-year en-
barge on potato imports. And citi-
zens of the United States who find
difficulty in having their coal needs
supplied, at two or three times the
prices paid in 1914, may possibly
wonder why an embargo is not placed
on coal imports, on learning that
America today sends even times as
much coal to South America as in
1914, seventy times as much to
France, seventy-two times as much to
Sweden, and 800 times as much to The
