oNE.cENT INCOME TAX.

You read about numerous people
sending Uncle Sam one cent as first
quarterly payment on their income
taxes. One stenographer mailed q
money order for quarter, and with
it.a basket of stamps she'd paid for
on perfume, silk stockings, theateE
tickets and the like. These stamps
represented taxes already paid and,
if you kept receipt, could be de-
Quoted from income on which tax
was paid, on the principle Of not pay
ing taxes on taxes.
The income tax has been a bless
ing, if for no other reason than that
it has taught people to keep books.
William H. Edwards, collector Of
internal revenue for Manhattan, puts
it this way: "It's interesting to hear
people discussing, trying to refresh
their memories as to the amount of
luxury taxes they paid-for instance,
the tax on theater tickets. In one
corner of the corridors I came across
a man and woman debating how much
luxury tax they paid on different
things in furnishing their home"
People, like corporations, are de-
veloping a genius for keeping track
of items they can deduct in paying
income tax.
Here is rare opportunity to learn
scientific thrift.
Every individual, every family,
should 60 on a budget basis. If you
keep track Of all your expenditures,
at the end of a few months you can
run your eyes over the list and the
items that can be pared down will be
so obvious that they fairly slap you
in the face.
Then, knowing what to cut, you
can install a budget--appropriate so
much out of every pay envelope for
food, so much for clothing, SO much
for amusement and the like-and
make it point to bank or invest the
balance.-Greenville Piedmont.

TURKS SAY HAVE
DEFEATED THE GREEKS
Admit Retreating at First, But Later
Administered Severe Drubbing
They Say

Contantinople, March 26.-Turk-
ish official reports declare that the
Turkish Nationalists east of the
Smyrna district have attacked and de-
feated the Greeks, who began an Of
fensive on Wednesday. 1t is said, that
1,700 Greeks and twenty guns were
captured by the Nationalists.
The Turks at first retired before
the Greek advance, reports state, but,
being reinforced, they launched a
counter offensive.
1t was claimed in Greek circles
here yesterday that the two of Eski-
Shehr, one of the objectives of the
offensive, had been taken but this
rumor has not been confirmed. The
Turks have closed the American col
lege at Marsivan in the Vilayet of
Sivas, charging that the president of
the institution favored the establish
ment of Greek republic in western
Asia Minor.
Turkish Nationalist advices declare
the Greeks in carrying out their often
sive are following the same plan
adopted eight months ago. but that it
is possible Greek forces maybe land
ed at Trebizond, on the southern
shore of the Black sea. The Turks
have nine divisions on the Smyrna
front, and three before Brusa. The
Greeks have the same number of di-
visions, but are stronger numerically.

TO GET FIGURES
ON WORLD SUPPLY
Survey of Production Will Be Made
Suggestion Approved by Presi-
dent Harding and Passed
on to Secretary Hoover

Washington, March 26-Plans for
a survey of world production and con-
sumption together with the gather
ing of figures on visible stocks of all
commodities are under consideration
by federal officials an effort already
is under way by the department of
commerce to obtain the figures on
cotton and leather. The progress has
been approved by President Harding
as a result Of representations made
by cotton producers and has been
passed on to Secretary Hoover to de-
velop.
The motive behind the movement
is to supply American commerce and
agriculture with facts and figures
concerning the world markets Of the
present and future. Mr.. Hoover said
tonight. In order to provide sound
basis for producing and trading Mr..
Hoover declared it was important
that world conditions be definitely
known. He added that statistics on
American production and stocks are
not sufficiently complete but they
offer a foundation from which to
work.
Cotton interests are understood to
have claimed that a reduction in
acreage was inevitable next year
should the world stocks of that COM
modify be anywhere near as great
as indicated. This situation, Mr..
Hoover stated, showed the necessity
for gathering the facts about that
commodity as we'll as others.
1t is not the intention, however,
to launch into program Of obtain
ing statistics on all commodities at
this time. Although Mr.. Hoover said
he believed the need was apparent,
he added that his department was
handicapped by lack of personnel and
other facilities.
For the present it is purposed to
gather the data through American di-
plomatic officers. But Mr.. Hoover
said these facilities were necessarily
limited and meant slow work. He ex.-
poets, however, through system of
committees now being organized to
greatly facilitate the work.

CAMPAIGN WILL BE CONTINUED

The European Relielf council will continue it's intensive cam paign in Arizona until the middle of February, according to plans announced at Arizona headquart CTS of the council, 524 Heard building, Phoenix.
 The quota for Arizona has been about half raised. It is considered necessary to raise the full amount of SS0,CG0 to place Arizona. on per capita with other states. The quota of the United States is $33, eco, GOO, which is needed to save from death by starvation and disease 3,5OO,OOO war waifs in central and eastern Europe.
 Besides the regular work being done by the county and community organizations, aid has been given by the motion picture manager, the A American railway express company, vari ous religious organizations, the schools, civic and social clubs.
 Every means is being taken to fully place before the people the vital necessity of raising the quota. Ten dollars will save a child's life. Arizona'S quota would save the lives of 5000 children. The campaign is being conducted not so much through the number of dollars contribut ed but on a basis of the number of lives that can be saved.
 Every dollar contributed goes to the children. The expense of the campaign is borne by fund derived from food warehouses in Europe.
