Income Tax Facts

Births, deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially
income tax returns for that year.
Millions of babies were added to-
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption of $500 in the parents
income tax returns.
Widows and wldowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the
income tax law and are granted
only an exemption of 81 1000, unless
the head of family.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement dur
ing the year also must consider
themselves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayers on
December 81, 1920, determines the
amount of the exemptions. If on
that day the taxpayer was. married
and living with wife or husband.
claim may be made for $4,000 ex-
emptlon. If single. or married and
not living with wife or husband
on December 81, the exemption IS
only 81, 900.
Persons who reached majority
during the year and whose earnings
for that period amounted to $1,000
or more, or $4,000 or more accord
ing to their marital status must file
a return and pay tax on their net
income in excess of these amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands of the collector of

Record Cow Idaho Product

Star-Mlrror: Segis Pelterje Pres
pect, the Holstein which recently
broke the worlds record for milk
production. is COW of Idaho birth
according to Prof. H, r. DAVIS
head of the department of animal
husbandry at the University of
Idaho.
The animal NAV truly be class
ed as an Idaho cow said Prof.
Davis today, 's,nce she was born in
this state and lived here during her
early months. She was born on the
farm CT George V. Leighton, near
Boise, and although her record was
made on the Carnatlon stock farm in
Washington, Idaho dalrymen NAV
feel a just pride in the fact she
comes from this state.
''Her sire, King Segls 10, headed
Mr.. Lelghton's herd for some time
and many of his offsprings are still
IN south Idaho. At the Caldwell
substation experiment farm, a son
of King Segis heads the Holstein
herd.
King Segis Matador Walker, the
son of Matador Segis Walker, al.
ready famous bull, and the grand
son of King Segls 10, the sire of the
record breaking COW, headed the
University of Idaho dairy herd for
a time. His daughters are just
coming into milk and look quite
promising.
"Various dairymen IN both north
and south Idaho are known to have
stock which can trace back relation
ship to King Segis 10 and hence tt
Segls pieterje Prospect. From thi:
1t appears that enough of the blooe
of King Segis 10 remains IN the
state to materially help the Hol
stein breed"
The champion COW made recore
of 37,384.1 pounds of butterfat il
one year. This is 5000 pounds more
than the next best record and al
average of 47.74 quart Of mill
daily. She is not of exceptiona
size for a Holstein weighing bu
1850. .

Record Breaking Year in Value of
Mineral Products

The Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, has published its pre-
liminary summary of Mineral Re
sources for the calendar year 1920. a
pamphlet of 123 pages, which records
for that year as the value of the min
elal products of the country the as
founding total of $6, 7U7 900, 900. This
value is 20 per cent. greater than that
Of the former record year. 1918, and As
per cent. greater than that of 1919.
The salient features Of the mincral
industry in 1920 are set forth in the
short Introduction. Many of the fig
ures are preliminary and some are
estimates, but the cooperation of
those engaged in the mineral indus
try and the long experience of the
Geological Survey in this work give
assurance that tho estimates repre-

New Gas Filter
Eliminates Troubles

Gasoline free from water, lint, grit
and dirt means the elimination Of
80 per cent: of engine, vacuum tank
and carburctor troubles.
1t means a clean gas from the car
buretor A clean gas means a
smooth running engine with higher
efficiency and less carbon. 1t is a
guarantee against scored cylinders
and pistons.
1t was to provide q means whereby
this water, lint and grit could be kept
out of the engine, vacuum tank and
carburetor that it has been made.
This filter provides an adequate
means for filtcring gasoline before it
enters the tank. And best of all. it is
visible. BY raising the hood of the
car the little glass bowl which is
part of the filter readily shows
whether there is dirt or lint in the
gasoline. This glass bowl is fastened
to the device by knurled retaining
nut which facilitates the taking off
of the bowl for cleaning. A fine 100
mesh screen is the little watch dog
of it ALL. All gasoline travels down
into the glass bowl, back up through
the screen, through the body Of the
filter and thence into the vacuum
tank.
It is said that vacuum tank ana
carburetor troubles are positively
eliminated by this device, and it is
predicted the filter will come into
general use on cars equipped with
the Stewart Vacuum Tank.

Henry j. Cox. Chicago weather bu-

Cox is sure that the "rainmaker,"
who explodes certain gases in the
upper clouds to produce water
chemically so to dislodge the moisture
from the air. cannot bring about any
rain which wouldn't fall anyway.
There have been rain trees, rain
birds and rainmakers." Cox said. But
none of them can cause water or
bread to fall from heaven.
"Some rain may fall when Hatfield
mixes his gases, but it would have
come regardless Of made de-
vices"
The contract which the United
Agricultural Association of Medicine
Hat, Alberta, has signed with Hat
field provides a payment to him of
$4,000 for each inch Of moisture over
three inches and up to six inches he
can draw from the unwilling clouds

Jailed and Fined
Played Too Rough

Paris.-A Rouen court has con-
demned a football player to four
months in prison and to pay a fine
of 5000 francs (about 1915 at cur
rent exchange) for injuring another
player during a match. This Is the
first time such a sentence has been
given in France, and il the judgment
is held on appeal, it is believed in
sporting circles that it will have a
lasting effect on sports, as players
will hesitate to risk going to prison
for a game.
The Olympic club of Paris was
playing the Rouen club (Associa-
tion), and during the first half Ay-
mard (Rouen) had to leave the
ground on account of an injury to
one eye after collision with the inter-
national player, Langenove (Olym-
pic). The day was very foggy and
only two or three players could see
what really happened.
The Rouen Club lodged a COM
plant with the French Football Fed
emtion, which found it impossible to
obtain proof of misconduct against
Langenove. Aymard then sued Lam
genove before the Rouen courts and
the foregoing judgment was given
by default. French courts always give
the MAXIMUM penalty when they
condemn any one who does not ap-
pear for trial. but the sentence may
be changed If the condemned man
takes the case to appeal.
L.angenove says he never received
a summons to appear before the
court. He was a student at st. Cyr
Military College when the match was
played. and was in garrison at May
ence when the case was heard. When
he charged Aymard, the latter said:
1T wasn't decent to charge me like
that" Langenove said: There is no
truth in the accusation that struck
you with my fist"

Under the heat of service the incor-
rect oil thins out excessively and fails
to seal the piston rings. What is the
result?
Some of the compressed gases leak
past the rings; some of the explosive
force blows by the pistons. The oil
is rapidly consumed and you wonder
why your gasoline mileage is falling
off, and why you use so much oil.
Is it really worth while to run the
risk of losing the service of your car
when you may need it most, the risk
of expensive repairs. and the prob
ability of increased fuel bills. all for

a few dollars on the cost of your lubri-
cants. only to find after all. that, in
creased oil consumption has eaten up
the saving you had expected to make,
and the cheaper oil had substantially
reduced the sales value of your car?
Correct fabrication is simply insur-
ance against these troubles. With the
correct lubricant in your engine, the
oil takes the wear. and the metal is
saved. Consequently, the car depre-
ciates very slowly and repairs or re-
newals become necessary only after a
long period Of service or as a result
of accident or neglect.
The correct oil seals the pistons and
rings. keeping the gases in the cyln-
ders to drive the car. Even under Sc
we're service it is consumed very slow

cumulations.
