alton Specialist, Thursday afternoon

New Iberia, La
Texas Decision Community Income
Tax affirmed, as to Louisiana.
This decision by the retiring Atty.
General Mitchell Palmer, allows hus-
band, and wife, to divide the net in
come of both his or hers. Each en-
titled to make separate return, thus
dividing the net income. This not
only affects earnings of the past year,
but previous years. In other words,
husbands who reported incomes in
excess of $1,000 during the years
1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920, may make
amended returns and claim for re-
fund, where the sur-tax, and some
times the higher rate of Normal Tax
effected the amount reported in the
single return.
Senator Ransdell has been most
lnsistant in urging action by the re-
firing Attorney General, as has also
Representative Martin, and Garland
Dupre of the End District.
Senator-elect Broussard, by his
telegram day before he takes of
fee, already shows and indicates that
he will be on the job as regards the
interests of his State.
The possible refunds, which will he
coming to hundreds of tax PAYERS Of
Louisiana, will be of immense bene-
tit just at this time.
Mr.. Grant, Federal Taxation Spe-
cialist, has been working hard for a
number of his clients in adjusting
claims for refund of income taxes
paid in excess during the past year.
and bill was passed this week in
Congress appropriating the funds

thousand dollars will come back to
Iberia as a result of Mr.. Grants
activities.
The decision referred to in the a.

VIEWS ON WOMEN.

AS someone happily remarked. we
care not who writes the songs of q
country SO long as we don't have to
marry the women who frequent the
prize fights.
Beauty is said to be skin deep and
now it appears to be knee high with
a good many of the girls.
The Kansas woman legislator who
would have wives classified as en-
ployees of their husbands fails to
provide for collective bargaining and
sympathic strikes.
A nebraska economist estimates
that farmers wife earns $4,000 a
year. Frequently she gets the 81.
We'd hate to be as mean as some
people. A hateful old Photographer
up in Milwaukee or somewhere, put
this in his "collyum" the other day:
"Where the deuce does girl get vac
cinated now so that it won't show?"
AS a general thing, when it comes
up that woman has to ask man
to guess her age she expects him to
be at least gentleman.
Mrs. Russell Sage left an estate of
$58,659, 900 after successfully manag-
ing it for years and made after death
dispositions of it with discriminating
intelligent care, but was adjudged
during her long lifetime unworthy of
the vote.
The trouble with a man is that he
tries to push the baby carriage on
some scientific principle, so his wife
has to do it.
The girls may wear a pack of hair
over their ears, but. we notice they
don't miss much in the way of Cos
sip.

who has the wiring contract for the
Dreyfus Harware and Supply Co..

Mr.. Villermin is installing what is
called a steel conduit system, in
which every wire is encased within
a steel tube. This system is not only
absolutely fireproof, but the wire so
used cannot wear out, and makes a
really everlasting job.

There has been much talk recently
about the great money and food value
of the Porto Rican Yam, and the al
most fabulous profits made by farm
'ers in Louisiana who are producing
this variety of sweet potatoes.
We were presented this week with
a sack of these potatoes by our
friend, Mr.. VIM. Drews. Jr., who re-
Gently bought farm above town.
They have been kiln dried, and in
that condition will keep indefinitely
in good condition.
An effort is being made by the
Farm Agent, Mr.. st. Dezier, and the
Chamber of Commerce, to have a
large number of our farmers plant
these vans this year.

The advance agent for Ellison
White Chautauqua passed through
New Iberia Friday, en- route to Alb
beville. He will return to our city
Saturday, and meeting of the local
committee will be held to confer with
him.
It will be remembered last year
through improper organization, a
great deal of trouble was encounter
ed in disposing Of all the tickets
guaranteed by the committee. At
that time Ellison-White charged off
the amounts, so that no individual
lost any money.
We can hardly expect them to be
SO lenient again and should perfect
an organization that will dispose of
all the tickets in advance.
From advance notices, most ex-

ems on April 9Th, and runs for seven

To HAVE
Swimming
POOL AT
NEkOOSA A
Nekoosa Edwards Paper Co. Anti
cipate Employees Wants.

The Nekoosa- Edwards Paper Com
pany and the village of Nekoosa alert
to the many wants of the public, and
especially for their employees and
families, are going to supply the peo-
pie of Nekoosa a Swimming Pool at
the west end of the wagon bridge
which spans the Wisconsin river at
this point and in the village park on
highway No. 13, as it enters Nekoosa.
Work has been commenced this week
upon one section of a cement swimm-
ing pool to be 66X125 feet Another
section to accommodate the women and
children who cannot swim will be
added later. The water supplying this
pool will be furnished by the Nekoosa
Edwards Paper Co. which is supplied
from the filtering system in the mill
adjacent. This pool will be a great
favorite place for the citizens of Ne
koosa who have been patronizing the
Swimming Pool in Wisconsin Rap
ids
The tourist will find Nekoosa a hav-
en- Of rest where he can drink, swim,
and refresh himself.
On the opposite side of the wagon
bridge, in the same park, the Nekoosa-
people have very attractive resting
place for travellers who may want to
lstop and refresh themselves.
The building is 10x12 ft painted
white and adjoins the Tourists Free
Camp Grounds and is supplied with
seats, bubbling fountain with a
faucet to draw quantities of water.
The citizens of Nekoosa and their Wis
itors are certainly we'll cared for in
this respect and its all free to them.
The old two-story boat house on the
Wisconsin river adjoining this Park
is being remodeled and re-decorated
for tourists, where they can stop and
rest and be free from sun or stormy
weather.

DEATH Of GEO.
HAMMOND

In the town of Saratoga, Wood coun-
ty, Wisconsin, resided an old soldier,
typical citizen of excellent char
acter and worth, and a prosperous
farmer. He was well known and we'll
thought of by everyone who enjoyed
his acquaintance After reaching a
ripe old age he passed on July 4th,
1921, of old age When boy he came
west from York State where he was
born on August II, 1884, in CORTLAND
county. He came west and located
in Illinois where he was educated in
/ the public schools of that state. After
his education the civil war broke out
and he enlisted in Co. B. First Wis
consin Engineers and served through
| the war In 1886, he came to Adams
fcounty, Wisconsin, and remained there
until ir 1879 when he came to Wood
County, where he located upon farm
which was his home until he died. He
died on July 4th, 1921, of old age, just
four years after his wife passed on
He was married to Miss AIDA Pinney
at New Lisbon on October 81, 1867
From this union four children were
born, one son, Orlo who died in infancy.
Three children survive him, they are;
MRS. F. E. Ross, Mrs. W. D. Ross, and
L. R. Hammond all Of the town of
Saratoga. The funeral service took
place at 10 o'clock from the home on
Thursday, July 7th. A large number
Of friends and neighbors were pres
ent to pay their respects to an old
fricrd and neighbor whom they had
learned to love through life. A good
man has gone to his reward.

REGISTERED
IN THISCITY

Monday was the W a m t
Fourth of July we have had here for
so years. The maximum tempera-
ture, 95 degrees, was reached be-
tween four and five O'Clock L. the
afternoon. Geo. T. Nixon states that
he cannot find a warmer Fourth on
his records. The minimum tempera-
ture was 50 degrees. Last year on
the same date extreme temperatures
were rs and 81.
Since May 19, when this hot spell
began, up to and including Monday,
the average maximum temperatures
were 91.7 degrees. 1t has been above
80 degrees eighteen times during
that period, and above 80 degrees
thirty-seven times.

THE new
CELEBRATION

The General Federation of Women's
Clubs is attempting to bring in new
program for the observance of the
Fourth of July. -
1t holds that the day really ought
to be given over to the building up of
a spirit of patriotism and sense of
civic responsibility among the people
1t suggests that in each community
procession should be made up of the
young men and women who have come
Fof age within the year, and also the
foreign-born men and women who
have become American citizens within
Ithat time. The latter should be allow
ed to carry flags of their respective
countries, but the American flag would
be held above all others. In the pro-
cession should also march the veter-
ans of all wars.
When the gathering place is reached
the group of new citizens should be
formally welcomed by some one speak
IN Ine name OF Cne community, ana
there should be responses not only
from the young Americans but from
representatives of the foreign groups
Finally as a climax of the ceremon-
ial, the civic oath should be admins
tired to each member of the new group
of citizens, the name Of each one being
read aloud if the number is not too
great; and at the end, all persons pres
ent should recite together the Oath of
Allegiance to the United States.
The plan seems far better than the
old program of frecrackers, foot races
and famboyant speeches. Citizenship
is too cheap in America. Too few
know what it means or give a second
thought to the duties it imposes. Is
is not time that it received more seri-
ious consideration and thought, not
merely from those who are just com
ing into it, but from all of US?

SEE ONLY GOOD
IN PEOPLE

1t is a mistake to grow tired of peo-
pie or their efforts to please. The
vast majority of US are trying to do
our best. True, some of our number
make a brilliant showing, while others
do not cause ripple of comment. But
If we are going to get any real salts
faction out of life we cannot stop to
weigh peoples capabilities or attain
ments, but should, on the other hand,
be grateful for whatever consideration
they show US, and only see in them all
that is splendid and good.-Exchange.

Free Employment May Report.

In May the II free employment Of
fees of the state referred 6,992 appli-
cants to positions, and in 1926 cases
were notified that employers had
hired the men referred to them. The

greater in May Of this year than in
May, 1920, the total number of veri-
fed placements in May of this year
being 1908. AS compared with a
year ago, placements in factories have
greatly decreased. The verified COM
mon labor placements during May

bled.
