johnson Case.

The conviction of Clarence John
son, from Obion County, for murder
in the second degree, was reversed
and the case remanded for new
trial in an opinion delivered by JUS
tice Bachman. johnson was con-
victed for killing Oscar Roper, a
night policeman in the town of I'm
ion City, in July, 1919, following an
alteration in which johnson has
been severely beaten over the head
by Roper with heavy walking
stick. The court held that, even un-
der the evidence offered by the State,
Johnson should not have been con-
victed for an offense higher than
the grade of voluntary manslaughter
and that the instructions of the trial
Judge did not adequately present
this phase of the case TO the jury.
The proof showed that, after being
beaten over the head oy Roper,
Johnson procured a shotgun and re-
turned to tho ccene of the difficulty,
staggering from the effects of the
blows he had received and bleeding
from several cuts in his head, and
shot Roper after the latter had
opened fire on him with a pistol, the
first of Roper's shots STRIKING John
son in the foot. A memorandum
opinion was filed in the case.

Part of Your Earnings.

Work has begun on the collection
of the income tax for the year 1920
Uncle Sam, through tne bureau OF
Internal Revenue, is addressing to
every person in the United States the
question, What was your net in
come for 1920?" The answer per-
mits of no guesswork. Every single

ried person whose net income was
| $4,000 or more is required to file a

The penalty for failure is a fine
of not more than 500 and an ad-
ditional assessment of 25 per cent of
the cmount of tax due. Tor wilful
refusal to make a return the penalty
is fine of not more than $4,000
or not exceeding one years imprison-
ment, or both, together with the costs
of prosecution. A similar penalty is
provided for making a false or
fraudulent return, together with an
additional assessment of so per cent
of the amount of tax evaded.
WOMEN MUST PAY TAX.
The income tax applies 80 women
as well as to men. Husband and wife
must consider the income of both
plus that CT minor depencent chill
dren, and if the total equals or ex-
ceed3 $4,000 a return must be filed.
A minor who has a net income in his
own right of $1,000 or more must
file a separate return. To be al
lowed the $4,000 exemption a mar
ried person must be living with hus-
band or wife on the last <ay of the |
taxable year, December 81, 1920. Di-
persons separated by mutual |
agreement, widows and widowers, un-
less they are sole support of 9TH

THE JERSEY COW IN AMERICA
Origin of the Breed

The Jersey breed of dairy cattle
originated on the Island of Jersey.
the largest of the Channel Island
group, which lies in the English Chan
mel, thirteen miles off the Coast of
France. The soil of the Island is
very fertile, and intensive methods
of farming are employed. The farms
are small, ranging in size from three
to thirty acres, and the land is very
high priced, renting as high as $50 90
per acre.
The Island of Jersey has an
equable climate and the cattle spend
the greater part of their lives out of
doors. Owing to this, and to the
fact that the cattle are handled in
telligently and carefully, the Jersey
breed has developed strong consti-
tuition and remarkable freedom
from disease. A case of bovine tu-
berculosis has never been discovered
on the Island.
Jerseys have been bred pure long
er than any other breed of cattle of
British origin. AS early as 1884 the
breed was mentioned by historians,
and even then it was noted for it's
heavy milking qualities and the re-
markable richness of its milk.
The Jersey was definitely estab-
lished as a distinct breed in 1889,
when a law was passed on the Is
land OF Jersey which prohibited the
importation of cattle into the Island
under penalty of a heavy fine and
imprisonment. AS a result of the
passing Of this law, the Jersey was
kept free from the blood Of inferior

and live stock of outstanding import
ance in Shiawassee County. Therefore

Since the week of May 3oth, to June

standing issue. Send us cuts of your
good animals, also any news items or
