subjects, upon which it formulates

Markham has found that the adver-

open to him and that Informative
advertising is read by the public as
oxtC nsively as news stories and edi-

The success of private ownership
and management of the railways de-
ponds upon the extent to which the
public is educated in regard to their
problems. 1t behooves railway
arrangements to take leading
part in this educational work.
Much of their trouble in the past
has been due to the fact that they
abandoned this field almost entire
" to those who sought to bring
private ownership and management

to destroy the things responsible

system by far the greatest and most
efficient in the world.

PRESERVING THE FOREST

Next unto the soil the forest is
our most important resource, and
yet is the one that has been most
recklessly abused. If the sloping
land had not been covered with
forest, it would have been washed
away years ago. The forest is not
only means of preserving the soil;
it also enriches it. The heavy mass
of roots and leaves hold the water
from running OFF so rapidly. there
by preventing excessive foods and
extremes of drought.
From the forest comes the wood
for our houses, the handles for
our plows, the frame work for the
machines that harvest our grain
and the wagon with which We haul
it to market. The paper on which
this is printed is also made from
wood.
Ex-President Roosevelt gave the
following definition for forestry:
Forestry is the art of saving the for
est by wise use of what they af-
ford" Forestry also teaches men
how to save the forest by cutting
out trees that are of no value and
the ones that have their full
growth; and by planting in woods
areas that have been cleared away.
If you haze an old field which is
worn out and thrown out, replant
it in forest; it will soon yield re-
turns just the same as a corntield.
Some nations have done this. Can't
we too? Shall we be left behind?
No. Plant a forest. The county
agent will be glad to give you any
needed advice.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Births, deaths, and marriages
during the year 1920 affect ma
terially income tax returns for that
year.
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption Of 5000 in the par
ents' income tax retuSn.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the
income tax law and are granted on
ly an exemption of $1,000, unless
the head of a family.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement
during the year also must consider
themselves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on De-
cember 81, 1920. determines the
amount of the exemptions. II on
that day the taxpayer was married
and living with wife or husband,
claim may be made for the $4,000
exemption. II single, or married
and not living with wife or hus-
band on December 81, the exemp-
tion is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority
during the year and whose earnings
for that period amounted to $1,000
or more, or $4,000 or more, ac-
cording to their marital status,
must file return and pay tax on
their net income in excess of those
amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return
must be in the hands of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer lives,
or has his principal place of bust
ness, on or before midnight of
March. Is, 1921.

Senator Smoot pointed out that

to provide funds for five new hos

al Cumming of the Public Health
Service had told the committee that
the s17,500,000 appropriation pro-
posed was all that could be spent
next year.
Senator Robinson sharply criti-
cised Secretary Baker for alleged
failure to permit the use of build
ings at forts as temporary hospi-
tails. He declared that not one
half of the buildings at Camp Pike,
Ark. were in use and these should
be made available, together with
those at other forts, for housing
sick soldiers.
II had rather let a few officers

Senator Ashurst also denounced
delay of relief to soldiers in need.
sNow is time for plain speaking

MIR. MARKHAM's GOOD WORK

The following is an editorial
which appeared in the Chicago
journal of Commerce, Feb. l, 1921:
The informative advertising be-
ing done by President Markham of
the Illinois Central is attracting
wide attention. His advertisement
which appears in this issue is a
notable one. 1t throws much light
upon a railway question of import
ance which has been little under
stood by the public--the grade
crossing problem. One would
scarcely realize that it would cost
more to eliminate all grade cross
ings located on railway system
than the total amount of the stock
and bond issues of that system, but
Mr.. Markham shows that to be true
of the Illinois Central System
Mr. Markham evidently realizes
the importance of free, open and
flank discussion Of railway problems
lie knows that railway policies are
controlled by public sentiment
that the Congress and the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be
guided In accordance with public
demands. BY giving out railway
information, he aids the public
reaching wholesome conclusions.
The principal medium through
