AUTOMOBILE FEVER"

The automobile fever" is al
ready making its appearance in
this section, which many pre-
dicted would not appear this
spring on account of the present
financial conditions. The first
two to become afflicted with this
disease" are George Poler and
George Rustemeyer, who both
purchased cars the first of the
week. Poler will make the Camas
Prairie r. r. ashamed of itself,
when it comes to running on
time and for speed as soon as he
learns the fine points of his car.
George Rustemeyer, if he lives
up to his past reputation as a
base ball twiler on Camas Prairie
as an automobilist, will make
most of us give him the road in
the ninth inning. Both gen.
tlemen are anxious for the roads
to dry up. We wonder why.

TAX EXPERT
IN THE CITY
DEPUTY COLLECTOR WILL
BE IN COTTONWOOD FRI
DAY AND SATURDAY.

Deputy Collector Philip Weis-
gerber, with headquarters in
Lewiston will be in Cottonwood
Friday and Saturday for the
purpose of assisting any one who
desires his services, free OF
charge, in making out their in
come tax for the year 1920.
Income Tax Facts
Births, deaths and marriages
during the year 1920 affect
materially income tax returns
for that year.
Millions of babies were added
to family circles, each of whom
brings an exemption of 5000 in
the parents income tax return.
Widows and widowers who
lost their husbands or wives dur
ing the year are especially affect
ed. They are single for the
purposes of the income tax law
and are granted only an exemp-
tion of 81 900, unless the head of
a family.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement
during the year also must con-
slider themselves as single per-
sons.
The status of the taxpayer on
December 81, 1920. determines
the amount of the exemptions.
If on that day the taxpayer was
married and living with wife or
husband, claim may be made for
the $4,000 exemption. If single,
or married and not living with
wife or husband on December 81 ,
the exemption is only 81 900.
Persons who reached majority
during the year and whose earn
ings for that period amounted to
$1,000 or more, or $4,000 or
more according to their martial
status must file a return and pay
a tax on their net income in ex-
cess of these 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 business, on or before mid
nigh of March Is, 1921.
