government about 5 per cent, mining
IA little more than 3 per cent, banking
a little over / per cent. The many
miscellaneous employments. profess
sional men, retailers. jobbers, Iner-
chants. domestics, etc, too numerous
to list specifically, contribute 33 per
cent. In other words. Our highly or
gained industries, even If We include
all manufacturing. mining. transporta-
ton, banking. and government actlvi-
ties such as education and road-build-
ing, produce only about half Of the ma
tional income. The rest is due to the
efforts of small indeDendent workers.
Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the num-
Der OF persons in 1918 having Incomes
over 5000, was 100000, and that
their total income vas over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S,OOO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than IA billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight ille-
gal withholdings, but also in part to
the existence Of ~taX-eXempt income.
What this means in terms of he in
come taX Is that the government re-
ceiyed in 1918 about half a billion dol
lars less than it would have, il all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution of the 2O,OOO,OOO
American housewives is not included
by the bureau in the national income
because they are not paid in money.
But the report points GU that if they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or Is billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing coniectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income of the United States in
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as com
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent Il like increase in production. Most
OF it was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was a much
less efficient dollar than that Of 1913.
The actual total Of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, if at all,
and a large part Of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
a kind really beHefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes.
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1884 in 1913.
to $3.50 in 1913. represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1856 of 1915 is equivalent to only
1872 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, made public today
In advance of the formal publication
of the results Of a years study of
Income in the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
of the income question in this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair

under the auspices and direction Of a
board Of nineteen directors. including
men prominent in many fields of bust
ness, education. labor, agriculture, eco
Monies and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points Of
view.

ings, including the equivalent value

How the Bureau Is Constituted.

Research was organized after the war
by ii group of persons who had come
to realize the need for accurate and
scientific collation. Of statistical infor-
nation as q basis for intelligent solu-
ton of national problems. The direc-
tors of the bureau are T. S. Adams,
advisor to the Treasury department;
John X. Commons, of the University
of Wisconsin; John p. Frey, editor of
the International holders Journal;

York Evening Post; Harry w. Ladder,

10 get good results from a flock of
poultry during the winter all houses
and coops should be in good condi-
ton, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings, and good care given
to h poultry. AS it takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets to settle
down to their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin to
lay, for a shift after egg production
begins may set them back for a month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from n house to another Is the best
means Of holding back egg production
If they are developing too fast. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture points out that it Is highly de-
sirable to bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin to lay.
Prepare Houses for the Winter.
The houses should be thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected, and made tight
for the winter. 1t is much easier to
do this work while they are empty
than after they are flied with fowls.
ii the house has a dirt floor, il is well
to remov the top 3 Or 4 inches and
replace this with dry gravel or sand.
If 1t has a cement or wooden floor,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
4 or 5 inches OF fresh straw or litter.
Remove the roosts and scrape the
dropping boards. wetting them down if
necessary to loosen refuse which has
caked and dried on. Sweep the walls
and ceiling with n broom, and clean out
all old nesting material. The house is
now ready to be disinfected. Mix up
a batch of whitewash or other disin-
fectant. Put a peck or more of fresh
burned lime in a tub or barrel and
pour on 1t enough water to start slak-

water to prevent burning. Keep the

Shares of Labor and Capital.
In most of the years since 1872, the
bureau finds tina. in the principal or
ganized industries, wages and salaries
were about 70 per cent of the total in
come; while capital (including man
agement) received about 30 per cent,
but of which were paid rent. interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
lty n depression. In 1916, for eX-
ample, the share of capital increased
to about 35 per cent, with 60 per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cen while labor
got about IS. OF the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
industries, about 90 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical stafrs.
while s per cent goes to officials.

DAN WATTS KILLED
BY own Gun
Well Known Young Man of
CASTOR Section Found
Near Home Dead
From Wound.

Dan Watts, aged about 2l, son Of
Sam Watts, a we'll known farmer liv-
ing about five miles from Castor, was
accidentally killed last Friday after
noon while out hunting. The gun
which he had carried with him was
found lying beside him, unbreached
with one discharged shell and one
loaded shell lying beside it. Just how
the accident occurred will never be
known. but it is supposed that Mr.
Watts had lowered the gun to the
ground and in 80 doing had struck
the hammer in some way and dis
charged the piece. The load en-
tered through the mouth, ranging up
ward and destroying one eye, pene-
trating the brain and causing death.
The young mans clothes We're pow
der burned.
First reports received in Lexington
were to the effect that the young man
had been murdered, having been shot
in the back by unknown parties. Sher-
iff Roof was phoned for and asked to
bring bloodhounds to the scene. He
and his deputy, H. Cromer Oswald.
quickly repaired to the scene, accom-
panied by DR.. G. F. Roberts. Upon
their arrival on the scene it was soon
learned that young Watts met his
death accidentally. The physical facts
were such that it would have been
Iimpossible to arrive at any other con-
clusion. The family was so thorough
" satisfied of this that no inquest
was held.
Mr.. Watts left home Friday after
noon to go hunting. The family be-
came alarmed when he did not re-
turn at nightfall, but only a dcsul-
tory search was made until Saturday
morning. when the dead body was
located about half Il mile from the
home.
Besides his mother and father
Young Watts is survived by several
brothers and sisters snd~a large circle

exemplary, character and was popular
in his community. Funeral services
were held at Sandy Run BapusI

tor, Rev. Mr. Whaley and attended
