band or wife whose net income was
less than $4,000 are exempt from the
requirement to file an income tax re-
turn.
The obligation TO consider his own
case and to file an income tax return
on time, if one is due, is laid squarely
on the shoulders of every resident of
the United States. Guess work is
barred. The returns are sworn state
ments, and accuracy is essential. Sal
aried persons and wage earners must
ascertain the actual compensation re-
ceiyed. Bonuses, shares in the profits
of a business, values of quarters and
board furnished by an employer, and
other items of compensation for ser
vices must be included.
Returns must show both gross and
net income. Gross income includes
practically every dollar received by
a. 90 pay = . biN J'oI 1JLU.
The net income is determined by sub
tracing from gross income certain de-
auctions specified by the revenue law,
and fully explained in instructions on
turns.
Business expenses are the principal
allowable deductions in computing net
income. The law specifically prohibits
the deduction Of household and living
expenses. Typical deductible business
expenses are for salaries, labor, cost
of merchandise, raw materials and
supplies, rent, repairs, light, power,
delivery, selling cost, advertising, and
insurance. Doctors, lawyers and like
professional men may deduct from
their gross income dues paid to pro-
fessional societies and subscriptions
to professional journals, rent paid for

water, and telephone used in such
assistants.

third on Or before September Is, and
the fourth on or before December IS.

Citizenship Schools
The past year has e e the estab-
lishment in many states of schools of
citizenship and nothing is more greatly
needed in our own state and commu-
nifty. An intelligent conscientious
electorate is the basis Of good govern
ment. The sovereign citizen must not
only know where we stand as a ma
ton, but where we are going. and how
we are going to get there. Purpose,
method, effort, are as essential in the
course of a nations life as they are
in the life of an individual. The
drifter inevitably goes onto the rocks
first or last, hence as a safety appli-
ance schools Of citizenship are an alb
solute necessity. The Carrie Chap
man Gait course in citizenship which
has been a serial in the Woman Citizen
for the last year, could furnish a splen-
did beginning, supplemented perhaps
by relevant history and current issues.
and could be made most profitable to
the student and ultimately to the coun-
try.
Will not organization consider this
crying need and assume the initiative
in starting a community citizenship

CORN SllAGE A NECESSITY

For dairy purposes corr silage is
second to none, and its value as a
dairy feed is no longer an experiment
with successful dairymen, it is an abso-
lutte necessity, suggests Thomas O..
Olson, instructor in dairy husbandry
at State college. No silo whichs was
properly built and filled with corn at
the right stage of maturity, he says,
has eve been discarded. Neither is
there any farmer who has had a silo
on his farm and used its succulent,
nutritious feed that is willing to do
without one
In addition to being a nutritious,
succulent feed, corn silage is one Of
the cheapest feeds for dairy cows. Ac-
cording to the best authorities corn
silage made from corn ensiled at the
proper stage of maturity contains %
pounds of digestible crude protein and
354 pounds of total digestible carbo-
hydrate equivalent, per ton. A farm
in the average state of fertility will
produce from 6 to s tons OF silage
per acre. Many farmers produce IL
to IA tons per acre on good soil.
Corn should be ensiled at the proper
stage of maturity to get the best re-
suits. If it is allowed to get too ripe
it will be too dry and difficult to pack.
A number of letters have come to the
department this fall, complaining about
mouldy silage. One of the contribut.
ing causes to this condition is dry corn

 Its York;"

Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking of Thedford's Black-Draught, which from long use in her household has become regarded as "the family medicine" Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1. this place, says:
 When the children get bilious. I give them couple of good doses. and when we have sour stomach, headache, or any liver or stomach trouble, we use BlackDraught. 1t is an easy laxa- tive, and soon does the work. l cer- tainly think 1t Is one of the best rem edies made"
 Black-Draught acts on the faded liver, gently, but positively. and helps 1t in its important function of throw ing out waste materials and poisons from the system.
 In thousands of households Black. Draught is kept handy for immediate use in time of need. Prompt treatment often is half the battle. and will often prevent slight ills from developing in- to serious troubles.
 It's wellestablished merit, during more than 70 years of successful use, should convince you of the helpful effects obtainable by taking Black. Draught for liver and stomach dis orders. Get a package today, and keep 1t in your house. See that the package bears the words. 'Thedfords Black-Draught." NC-141
