CAPITAL STOCK TAX
RETURNS DUE

July 81 is the last day fol
filing returns of the capita
stock tax. To avoid penalty,

The tax on domestic corporations
is 81 for each 81, 900 or so much
of the fair average value of its
capital stock for the preceding
year ending June 30 as is in ex-
cess of $5, 900. Foreign corpor-
ations are required to pay a tax
at the rate of 81 for each $1,000
of their capital employed in the
transaction of business in the

fit of the $5, 900 deduction. The
tax is payable in advance, re-
turns filed in July of this year

gardless of the par value of its
capital stock, and of every for
eign corporation irrespective of

ations not organized for profit
are exempt from capital stock
tax. The class of organizations
entitled to the exemption is de-
scribed in regulations so, revised
copies of which may be obtained
at the office of Collector J. W.
Bailey, Raleigh N. C.
Corporations claiming exemp-
tion are required to file returns
setting forth their reasons for
such claims, accompanied by
evidence in support thereof.
If, because of lack of complete
data or other reasons than illness
or absence, it is impossible to
file a complete return on or be.
fore July 81, a tentative return
may be filed, reporting the ap.
proximate fair value in order
that an initial assessment may
be made, thus avoiding penalty,
The penalty for failure to file
a return within the time pre-.
scribed is an added assessment
of rs per centof the amount due,
unless it is shown that the failure
was due to reasonable cause anC
not to neglect.
In addition to the added as
essment a fine of not more thar
81, 900 is provided for failure h

 There is only one effective way of getting rid of ticks-that it to dip the cattle.

THE VALUE OF ICE CREAM IN
 THE DIET OF CHILDREN

The following excerpts from paper read before the National Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers by Mrs. Ira Couch Wood who is director fthe Elizabeth Mccormick Memorial Fund of Chicago a foundation established by Mir and Mrs. Cyrus Hall McCor- mick in memory of their daughter and devoted to improving the conditions of Child life in the United States.
 She states we are seventh down the list of civilized nations in the death rate of our children, each year losing approximately a half million under the age of six years. She says this condi instead of poverty and that the ma ton was aroused to this disgracefully large toll of child life and the general neg lect of health by the findings of our draft boards during the war.
 For the first time the youth of our nation was put through the acid test for physical fitness an dover one-third of our young men were unfit to Sha re in the defense of our nation in her hour test to the young ladies would have shown is left to the imagination. It was shown that omts of these defects could have been remeded had they been 
 recognized in childhood.
 Extensive surveys and studies made since then among school children show that approximately 70 per cent are suf ferng fro physical handicaps that i'm pede their progress to a greater or less degree and that practically one half of all the school children are under weight and under nourished. She therefore emphasizes the fact that the work of promoting the health of children is q movement vital to the efficiency and welfare of the nation. She puts the problem squarely mp to the parents and says that because that children are thin and puny is not due to heredity that because some grandfather or grandmother aunt or uncle back some where was thin and could not put on flesh will not account for theid chil- dren being under weight or under nourished
 In this work she has come to know the value contained in the vital prop erteS of milk and milk products which include butter. cheese and ice cream especially the latter which she says has brought about miraculous changes in under nourished children. The glow of health is reflected in the cheek of the child who is allowed its ice cream cone or dish of ice cream each day and that the year as another That it k just as necessary for the child that lives in the country as the one that lives in thu city. The sin of it all is too that those who are responsible for our rcvenu" laws should have thought it necessary to place a special tax upon an article of food so Nitally necessary to the wei fare of the children of the nation Small wonder too that an emphatic pro test has been made against 50 unjust a law an da demand made for ifs mmc- diate repeal.

eggs within short time hatch into seed ticks, and each female in her turn lays from 5000 to 1000 eggs. It is clearly evident. therefore, that if the ticks can be killed in early spring. hosts of blood sucking parasites will be prevent cd from taking an enormous toll later in the season.
