FINE LADY PASSED AWAY.

Rosa Lies, whose serious con-
dition we announced in the
Chronicle last week died at her
home in Cottonwood, the first
day of the new year after a
lingering illness of three months.
Mrs. Lies was born at Oens-
bach Amt Acheren, Baden, JAN
uary 80, 1862 and moved with
her family to this community
about nine years ago from Okla
homa, her husband having pas
sed away Ia years ago.
Mrs. Lies is survived by three
daughters and a son, Mrs. Jacob
Lorentz, Mrs. Peter Bieren, Jose

of Cottonwood; two brothers and
three sisters, Geo. Schemel,
Uniontown, Wash, Joseph Sch
emel, Germany; Mrs. Aug. Seller

also survived by seven grand
children.
Mrs. Lies about two years ago
lost two daughters and a grand
child from the flu and the three
were buried at one time. This
sad event hung heavily over the
mothers fond heart, and her
death on New Years day makes
four times that death has enter
ed this fine home within such a
short space of time.
"a good woman gone" is the
eulogy spoken of Mrs. Lies on
every hand. She was known
to everyone in this community
as a kind hearted, motherly
woman. She was especially de-
voted to her home and her child
'en and took the place of a faith
er in raising her family and
gave them the best advice pos
;ible in playing the double role.
The funeral from the Catholic
church Monday morning was
largely attended, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. FIR. Will
ord, the remains being laid to
rest beside her two daughters,
Who preceded her. The funeral

WHAT DID YOU
MAKE IN 1920?
UNCLE SAM BEGINS COLLEC
TONS OF FEDERAL IN.
COME TAX.

Wi n has OCS VII oii litc NoiiCS-
ton of the income tax for the
year 1920. Uncle Sam, through
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
is addressing to every person in
the United States the question,
What was your net income for
1920?" The answer permits of
no guesswork. Every single
person whose net income for
1920 was $1,000 or more and
every married person whose net
income was $4,000 or more is re-
quired to file a return under
oath with the collectors of in
telnal revenue for the district in
which he lives on or before
March Is, 1921.
The penalty for failure is
fine of not more than 81 900 and
an additional assessment of 25
per cent of the amount of tax
due. For willful refusal to make
a return the penalty is a fine of
not more than $4,000 or not
exceeding one years imprison-
ment, or both together with the
costs of prosecution. A similar
penalty is provided for making
a false OF fraudulent return, to-
gether with an additional asses
sment of so per cent of the
amount of tax evaded,
Women Must Pay Tax.
The income tax applies to
women as well as men. Husband
and wife must consider the in
come of both plus that of minor
dependent children, and if the
total equals or exceeds $4,000 a
return must be filed. A minor
who has a net income in his own
right of 81 900 or more must file
a separate return. To be allow
ed the $4,000 exemption a mar
ried person must be living with
husband or wife on the last day
of the taxable year, December
81, 1920. Divorces, persons
separated by mutual agreement,
widows and widowers, unless
they are the sole support of 9TH
ers living in the same household,
in which case they are allowed
the $4,000 exemption granted
the head of a family, are entitled
only to 81 900 exemption.
Tax Rates For 1920
The normal tax rate for 1920
is the same as for 1914 per
cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemption and
8 per cent on the remaining net
income. This applies to every
citizen and resident of the Unit
ed States. In addition to the
normal tax surtax is imposed
upon net income in excess of
$4,000.
instructions on Form.
Full instructions for making
out returns are contained on the
forms, copies of which may be
obtained from collectors of in
ternal revenue. Persons whose
net income for 1920 was $4,000
or less should use Form 1040A.
Those with incomes in excess of
$4,000 should use Form 1040.
Revenue officers will visit
every county in the United
States to assist taxpayers in
making out their returns. The
date of their arrival and the To-
cation of their offices will be an
nounced in the paper or may be
ascertained upon inquiry at the
offices of collectors. This adj
visory service is without cost to
taxpayers.

ALL NEW ENGLAND
 MILLS REOPEN|NG
Those on Short Time to ReSume
 Full Time Soon

Boston, Feb. 1.-The textile indus marked ext ent. After several months during which mills, large and small, were either completely closed or rum ming but one or two days a week, at the present time all are open, with some operating on a full time basis and others on four or five days a week schedule, with indications full time may be resumed soon. Almost without exception, the mills are renewing with wage cuts of 22 1-2 per cent in effect, the American Woolen company being the last large concern to announce the reduction. In practically every case the workers re- turned to their looms without marked protest. Leading textile mill owners are on record as declaring that more goods have been sold in the last three or four weeks than during the entire six months preceding. There is every confidence the revival is not a furry but healthy renewal of life in the textile industry.
 More than so per cent of the work CTS are back in Fall River and from 70 to 80 per cent are again at work in other important textile centers in this section, including the more inn portant centers of New Hampshire and Rhode Island, also in Maine. About 50 per cent are reported as working in Lowell, Lawrence and New Bedford.
 On the whole, the cotton mills are somewhat more active than the mak- CTS of woolens, it is stated. The re- Vival is a direct response to the slashes in prices on cotton and wool en goods, the new price lists being declared about January 1.
 Fabrics are offered at about one hall, and iE many cases more than one-half the peak" quotations of now being received are labelled Rush." an indication that shelves of many retailers are bare, according to the textile managers.
 Robert Amory of Anlory, Brown & company, leading local mill agents who place the goods Of some of New England's most important manufac- turers, said this week:
 "A lot of goods have been sold the last ten days"
 Augustus P. Loring, president of the Massa chusetts Cotton mills, with plants at Lowell, says: ''The retailer has sold the bulk of his high cost goods and he is now coming into the market for goods at lower prices"
 Andrew Aide, president of the Unit States Worsted company, de. clares the industry is now on the front edge'' of a healthy revival.
 All reports agree that there is lit tie merchandise in the mills ware houses and that practically all new business must be met by a resump- ton of mill operations.

 Across the street the conditions are about the same including the walk in front of the postoffice and other stores. S. s. Kilby of Hartford who owns the property has been asked, from what tenants say.-to better the affairs, but has made no attempt to do so.
 Another existing condition which has caused a great deal of comment within the past few months is that of the rear yards of the houses on this side of the road near the rail road tracks It is apparent that sev- eral of the yards have been used as a dumping ground and for raising undesirable animals.

 For Connecticut: Increasing cloudiness followed by rain begin ming late today or Tuesday; some what warmer Tuesday; increasing east winds.
 Weather conditions. A trough of low pressure extending from Texas northeastward to lower Michigan is causing cloudy and rainy weather in the central districts from the Lake region, southWard, to the Gulf and from the Rocky mountains eastward to Pennsylvania. Little Rock, Ark, reported 3.5 inches of rain during the last 24 hours. Pleasant weather pre- vails along the Atlantic coast The temperature is above normal in the eastern districts and slightly below normal in the western districts be- tween the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river. Freezing tempera- lures extend as far south as Texas. Only a few places along the northern border reported temperatures below zero.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity fair followed by unsettled weather which will probably develop into light rain.
