BOOM PERIOD UNNECESSARY TO
 BUSINESS REVIVAL.

America does not need a boom period to be pro porous, and the substantial factors of our nation wealth will eventually bring about adequate reviv of industry and commerce, it was declared by Jam $ Alexander president of the National Bank of Con merce in New York, speaking at a dinner of u Association of Stock Exchange Firms at the Hot Astor, New York, early this month MT Alexand in part said
 There are at present number of great business forces clearly at work building a sound business structure for 1921. Supply and prices are becoming broadly coordnated to demand The improy ement in the liquid lty of credit, which is in progress must develop further, but there are signs that i'm provement there will continue As these movements are fulfilled, wages and labor are reagned to conditions and as bus- ness finally absorbs the losses incident dehation stabilization on the new level will become accomplished fact
 The beginning of the year 1921 has suspicious aspects in the rapid yet orderly way in which these gerat corrections are progressing. The year must be judged then not so much by the volume business that will be accomplished in it, but rather by the sounder conditions which will prevail marking the definite return to a new era of business fundamentals.
 Normal activity must from within business rather than from without. Business cannot idly wait for the public to resume active buying. It must stimulate buying by establishing wide prevalence of substan- tiay reduced prices for goods which must be based on increased efficiency in produc- tion and distribution. and the acceptance of reasonable margins of profits
 In this connection the growing tendency of labor to become more efficient and it's willingness to accept liquidation of in Hated wages is a encouraging circum- stance. From more than one point of view the readjustment now going in respect to labor supply and demand is beneficial 10 the individual worker. The excess Of jobs workers, inflated wages, and lax super vision from employers which characterized

The conviction of the Seattle bandit of first degree murder and his sentence death within a week from the time he shot three policemen shows that Seattle courts and officers of the law can ad- minister justice when they try hard. If we had more such examples that set by Seattle in this instance the criminal laws would be more effectiy in keeping down crime.

TAXPAYERS ARE
GIVEN Warming
Required to File Returns
Even If in Exempt
Class
PENALTY WILL
BE IMPOSED

Nearly 10000 persons. we're penal
lied last year anywhere from 50 to
$40 for falling TO make income tax
returns, notwithstanding their IN
comes were not taxable.
The law provides a personal eN-
emption OF $1,000 for single persons,
5000 for married persons ana an ad-
ditional exemption Of $500 for eocn
dependent IN such person is under Is
years OF age or Incapable or sell-sup-
port. Those penalized last year were
delinquents whose incomes exactly
equalled the amount Of the allowable
exemptions and who considered II un-
necessary TO make returns and DINERS
whose incomes, because OF the de-
pendents. was non-taXable, but who,
nevertheless, were required by law
TO make returns.
The collector Of internal revenue
serves warning that failure to com
ply with his provision of the law
when filing returns for 1920, must pay
the penalty. even II there is no tax TO
be paid.
A married person, whose income Is
In excess OF 5000. and TO whom
forms have been issued is advised TO
flle a separate return. so the surtaN
may be correctly computed. This
surtaX applies separately to the net
income OF husband and wife and not
TO the combined income. Many per-
sons make the mistake OF computing
tax on the combined income, to their
own disadvantage. To Illustrate: In
the case OF a husband whose net in
come was 5000 and that OF his wife.
-. 1000. the total normal and surtaN, II
the incomes were combined, would
amount 10 $3.50. whereas, If computed
on the income OF each, would amount
10 only $3.50; for the husband could
deduct the personal exemption OF
5000 from his $1,000
The status OF a taxpayer on the last
day OF the taxable year determines
the amount Of his exemptions. lf, on
December 81. 1920. he was married and
living with his wife, he may claim the
s. 600 exemption, although the mar
riage may have taken place Decem-
her 30. If, on December 30, he became
a widower. he is entitled only TO the
81 600 allowed a single person, unless
the head OF a family.

The following timely, sensible
and constructive editorially is re-
printed by The Tri-Weekly
Journal from the Market Bull
1etin, published by the State Blu
reau of Markets, Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Some farmers are like an oarsman
who, as he rows his boat. is ever
looking backward. Other farmers re-
semble a canoeist who, as he paddles,
ksopr his eyes fixed on that which
| is ahead.
AS we enter the new year let it be
in the attitude of the canoeist and
not of the oarsman. For good or
| for i'll, the past is the past. Suppose
! the Year 1920 has held disappoint-
menfr failure and loss, it can do
no good to brood over it's hard ex-
pericnces. There is no use in crying
! over split milk. If on the other
| held success and prosperity, do not
/ let the mind dwell too much upon
! it's triumphs, less too great content
ment paralyze future effort.
A great sculptor. was asked on one
occasion: What is your best stat,
That is the proper spirit Every
farmer, if asked "What is your best
year on the FARM" should in like
manner return the prompt answer,
| MY next one"
| Henry van Dyke describes the
right spirit in which to cross the
| threshold of a new year when he
writes:
LET me live but my life from year
| to year,
With forward face and unreluctant
| soul,
Not hurrying to nor turning from
| Not mourning for the things that
disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back
From what the future wells; but
with a whole
And happy heart that pays it's toll
To youth and age and travels on
with cheer"
A story is told of an old lady who
looked into her barrel of apples
one rotten apple, and the laws of
decay met her expectations. She
found her rotten apple daily, but
never enjoyed single good one out
of the whole barrel. 1t is very large
ly true to life that we find what we
are looking for If we expect fail
ure In the new year, we shall prob
ably not be disappointed. If We
are looking for success, the chances
are measurably better that we shall
succeed
Every farmer should enter 1921
with forward look, in quest OF
larger and higher things. When
others retrench is the time for pro
gressive men to expand their under
takings. Financially the farmer
should resolve that his acres shall
yield him a large profit. There may
be overhead charges which can be
cut down. More likely there are as
yet untried ways of making the
farm produce more. No farm has
Yet reached its peak.
For the coming year the farmer
ought to plan something in the way
of improvement to his property. 1t
may be only Ct bit of paint, a few
shingles, a patch of cement, trees or
shrubs set out or water piped to
hand, but in some way or other let
the home be made more attractive
and at the same time the farm more
valuable.
Possibly the farmer may need
to take himself in hand. He may
be getting rheumatism joints and
stopped shoulders when he ought to
be physically vigorous for years yet.
wake it up. There may be develop
ing a grouchiness Of disposition
which makes It hard for wife and
children to get along with him and
renders him a depresSant rather than
a stimulus to the community.
Together, let us enter the new
