FIGHTING RADICALS.

Jack O'Brien of Racine, Wis, has
long, been known as an opponent Of
the socialists, I. w. WIS. and nom
partisan leaguers. Now he has con-
ceived a plan to fight the radicals with
their own weapons.
In the early days of the socialists the
p-box orator was IN important part
Of the machinery of the propaganda
spreaders and Mr.. O'Brien believes
that If soap-box oratory helped to
spread the seeds of bolshevism it can
be made to put out the fire. Therefore
he, as a leading member of the Con-
stitutional Defense league, has estab-
lished a school for such orators.
Those who can attend the school
at Racine are taken into the classes.
For those who are too far away cor
respondence course is provided. Talk
ing points, and. all the paraphenalia
and tricks of the professional soap
box agitator are supplied. The stud
ents are given inside knowledge of the
weak spots in the arguments of the
agitators and Mr.. O'Brien believes
that an intensive campaign of soap
box oratory, aimed at re-establishing
confidence in the government will
have a salutary effect on the bolshe-
visits.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Day after day passed and not once
did the little Adventures, Nancy and
Nick, think OF the errand upon which
they were bent. The wicked Jim had
!, them prisoners in his Ice palace, or
rather in his iceburg palace with it's
turrets and towers, floating around on
the ocean. So much did it look like
an ordinary iceberg, however, that the
gulls and sea- birds flying near perch
ed on its lodges, calling hoarse1y to
one another that the weather was fine,
or that it looked like a storm and
they'd better be making for land, never
dreaming that the great mass of ice
was really an enchanted palace and
that two little children were prison.
ers within.
The little Red Slippers of Forgetful-
ness had put everything out of the
minds of the little travellers. The Jim
had taken their own Magic Shoes and
all their charms, which were to help
them on their trip to the South Pole.
He brought a checker-board; and
from morning until night the little
folks played. Sometimes Nancy would
win, and sometimes Nick, and the Jim
kept a great long list of how many
games each had won. Not once did
the twins mention their errand, be-
cause they had forgotten it; but the
wicked wizard, as he watched them
play had not forgotten, and he took
good care that they did not kick off
the bewitched Red Slippers. Things
were going to suit him very well in
deed, now, for he had promised the
wicked fairy Snitcher- Snatch at the
South Pole that he would do all he
court to keep the twins away.
Outside, the walrus lay patiently on
the ice, waiting. He had promised TO
help the children and he had not for
gotten. Just now he was watching
some whales in the sea.

Keep Advertising

advertising" says an editorial in
the Editor and Publisher, lis more
than a business tonic; it is a business
necessity. This is why it is needed
all the time. OF all advertising, that
which carries with it the Greatest
waste is what is known as the once
in a while kind
Successful advertisers are the kind
that keep it up persistently. They are
judged successful because of the re-
sulting success of their business
up until four years ago there was
a certain soap that was known around
the world. 1t had been the most per-
sistently advertised article offered in
the markets of the world during the
previous hundred years. From the
day this soap was first put on the
market in 1912 it was advertised in a
small way, but persistently and con-
tinuously. For the last so years it
has been one of the best-advertised
products in the world. Then the di-
rectors decided that because the fac
tory was selling to capacity, adver-
Using could be discontinued as a use
less expense. In less than one year
from that time the business of the
firm dropped 35 per cent in volume.
That soap is again being advertised
and we understand it was necessary to
spend 100000 in extra publicity,
over previous appropriations to get
back to normal.
The firm was not flier in adver-
Using It's product had been used for
generations and was known in the
homes Of the world but it cost it's
makers $5,000,000 to learn that adver-
Using was as necessary to it as the
raw products that enter into it's max
ing. The history of merchandising is
filled with stories like this, but only
few have found it possible to win

The railroads are urging that those
who have freight which must ulti-
mately be moved ship 1t now. Sew
eral reasons are given why the pres
ent time is opportune. One is that
by shipping now the roads will be
able to have good loads and thus will
be able TO retain their full working
forces. Another reason is that the
roads now have plenty of cars but a
shortage may appear later on when
shipments heavily increase, as they are
bound to do in course of time. The
third reason is that the roads ueed
the money.
What has happened to the freight
traffic of the railways is strikingly
indicated by statistics regarding the
loading Of freight cars within recent
weeks" says the Railway Age in its
current issue. "In October the num-
Der Of carloads of freight averaged
about one million a week. In the
four weeks ending January % the
average number of cars loaded weekly
was 679,551. This represents a de-
cline since the peak was reached in
October of almost exactly one-third

steadily increasing.
THE statistics regarding earnings

INCOME TAX
FACTS
MANY EXPENSES DEoucTIRLE.

Thousands of farmers whose net in
come for 1920 equaled or exceeded the
exemptions of $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married persons
will be required to file on or before
March Is, 1921, income tax returns for
the year 1920.
AS an aid to farmers the bureau of
internal revenue has prepared a spe-
cial form, 104F for recording sales
of live stock, produce. and a summary
of income and expenses. This form
should be attached to the taxpayers
individual return on Form 1040 or
1040A. Full instructions for making
out the forms are contained in each.
Under gross income q farmer is re-
CURED to include all proceeds derived
from the sale of farm products wheth-
err produced on a farm purchased
for resale. When he exchanges his
produce for groceries, clothing, or 9TH
er merchandise he must include in his
income the value of the articles re-
ceived and exchanged. Profit received
from the sale of farm land or rent re-
ceived for the use thereof must also
be included.
In determining ms net income. upon
which the tax is assessed the farmer
may deduct all necessary expenses in
Cured in the operation of his farm
during the year. These include cost
of cultivation, harvesting, and mar
keting of his crops, the cost of seed
and fertilizer used, amount spent in
repair to farm buildings other than
the dwelling, and to fences and ma
chinery. The cost of farm tools used
up in the course of the year, wages
paid to employee other than domestic
servants, and rent paid for farm land
and buildings (other than dwel1ing)
are deductible items.
Farmers who keep no records or
only records of cash receipts and dis
bursements should make their returns
on the basis of actual receipts, but
farmers who keep complete accounts
and who take inventories at the be-
ginning and end of the year to deter
mine their profits should report on
the accruaI basis. Both methods are
fully explained on Form 1040F, copies
of which may be obtained from the

PRESS COMMENT
Education An Investment

More adequate support of public
schools itself is regarded by the Unit
ed States commissioner of education
as essential to the PROCESS of national
education. In a recent speech before
citizens conference held az the State
House in Boston, Mr.. Claxton remind
ed his hearers that last year this
country spent $2,2O0O0O,OOO more for
tobacco than for all of the schools in
the land.
1t spent $500, 1000 900 more for ciga-
rettes than for the salaries of all its
teachers.
During the past two years, as cap
able teachers left the profession in
large numbers to seek better pay and
greater opportunity for advancement
in other occupations, the public be-
gan to wake UP to the seriousness of
educational shortage. In many places
teachers salaries We're increased, not
very generously, but enough to show
that the public was becoming aware
of the teachers Importance to the
community. This year all the cry is
for retrenchment in public expendi-
lures, and there is danger that there
will be reluctance on the part of the
public to meet it's obligations to pub
lie education.
After the civil war the schools suf-
fered from lack of funds. The I'M
paid bills of the recent war are large.
yet they must not be allowed to OBJ
scure the fact that education cannot
safely be retarded any more. Said one
educator "Tn asking for more for our
schools We are going to be met with
the plea that owing to high costs we
must retrench. Our task is to place
before the people the facts, and con-
vince them that their expenditures for
education are not extravagances,
but are investments.-St. Petersburg
Times.

likewise cause heavy losses to rail-
ways when they cannot get freight to
haul in their cars.
, when there is another large short
age OF cars. as in course OF time there
will be, it is to be hoped that those
who could cause the shipments of
freight now, but who are not doing
so because prices or other conditions
are unsatisfactory to them, will not
forget the present period during which
the railways are suffering tremendous
losses because of the failure Of those
who could ship now to do So"

The DISARMAMENT of Florida

Within a short timo Governor Cary
A Hardee is expected to officially dis
mand what is known as the Home
Guard" in the state of Florida.
The need for this organization of
militia, comprised of business men
and women who were not sent to the
fighting front or otherwise engaged
actively as a part of the war machine
during the conflict, with Germany, has
passed. Technically the guard has been
dead for more than a year. Gradual
" the state national guard is being
re established to succeed them and
the promise is that within al compare
lively short time this organization
will have proceeded sufficiently in
every community to warrant the dis
banding of the home guard officially.
In noting the passing of the Home
Guard into history let US not forget
the very necessary and capable serv-
ice which these men rendered during
those critical times when the young
blood of the country was largely en-
gagged in the war and the maintenance
of the state militia with young blood
was almost impossible. These men,
MANY of them perhaps already per
forming more than their share of the
war work left for those remaining,
gladly sacrificed more of their time
and energy TO give the people of
their security necessary in those try
ing times. Had it not been for the
home guard we would not have had
an organized force to meet possible
disturbances at home. We would not
have had the fire insurance rate that
goes with the presence of an organ
ICED ana efficient military force. We
would not have had a great many 9TH
er forms OF service and protection
had 1t not been for these men. They
are deserving of commentator even
at this late day.-Florida Metropolis.
