bounced recently by the college au-
.horities that Dr. French, because OF
continued i'll health, would not re-
iume his duties as director. Col
ege officials are now looking for a
nan to succeed him.
DR. French became seriously III

underwent an operation in Denver
tecoyery has been extremely slow,
luo to the deep-seated nature of his
lfiilction. and he has been on sick
cave since the time of his opera
ion. The period of leave termin-
tied January 1 and he has not suf-
ciently recovered to resume the
,uties OF his office, which have be-
ONE much heavier during the past
en- months. Because of the i'm
jortance of the work and the press
ng nature OF some of its details. It
necessary that It have an active
head
In announcing the change, the
ollege authorities expressed deep
egret over the fact that DR.. French
annot resume his work. for he has
lad charge OF the extension service
turing the most important period
4 its development and growth. They
tlso expressed the hope that Dr.
'renchs health will so improve that

york at the college. Improvement
as been more rapid during tue
asst few weeks and his complete
ocovery is ultimately hoped for.
During DIR. French's absence for

late leader of county agricultural
gents. has been acting director.
he college authorities have ap-
roached Mr. Lovett to ascertain
ghether or not he would accept
Jared that he does not wish to be
onsidered as a candidate for the
losition He will continue as ac-
ting director. however, until sue
cessor to DR.. French is chosen.
Dr. French is one of the Oldest In
point OF service and one of the best
known leaders in agricultural de-
voIopment in the United and his
loss from the organization at the
college will be serious one that
will be felt in every corner of the
state to which the extension serv-
ice reaches. He has been identi-
fed for years, through his work at
state agricultural colleges, with the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. where he has many -inti-
mate friends and former classmates
at Michigan Agricultural College,
where he took his degree In re-
cognition of his eminent service in
the agricultural field. his alma mater
at commencement time last spring,
conferred upon him an honorary
doctors degree.
Thousands OF friends all over the

Did you know that two men in the
United States confessed to the
collector of internal revenue, Bill
Edwards, that their net perso-
AL incomes last year were in excess
of three million dollars?
Did you know that John D. Rock
fellow not only had a personal in
come of sixty million dollars, but
drew check Of $38,4OO,0OO and
mailed it to the government as his
income tax contribution?
Some amazing figures, running
close to the billion dollar mark. are
made public by Edwards through Of
fetal reports now in the hands of the
commissioner of internal revenue at
Washington.

It seems, having incomes during 1920
Of 100000 up, while thirteen 9TH
ers said languidly they received be-
tween million and half and two
millions.
The late H. C. Frick had $780,
900 income and out of it the govern
ment got $7,16O,OOO
Two other men frolicked about
with seven million and a half and
each paid the government $4,8O0,OOO
They were George F. Baker and Will
liam Rockefeller.
Edward S. Hardness and ]. Ogden
Armour were taxed to the tune of
$5.250,000. They paid the govern
ment a fiat four million each, while
Henry Ford and W. X. Vanderbilt as
well as Edward H. R. Green having
each FIVE million dollars on THEN
hand during the year disposed Of

These figures appear as persona
incomes and do not, of course, repre-
sent the staggering principals tina
Welded so golden a flow. ..,. ---
If, for example, ROckfeler's net in
come was sixty million dollars AM
this sum represented only six pc
cent interest on the principals, tn
principal itself must have been on
billion dollars.
In like fashion Prick must have ha,
a capital of $187,5OO,OO0 to return
