THE INCOME TAX

Coffee county citizens who paid
an income tax this year possibly
never stopped to contemplate just
where the money goes and how ii
is to be used. so following ought
to be of special interest:
Out of every dollar you pay as
income tax, So cents goes to pay
of our world war debt and the
debt we contracted while running
the railroads; 20 cents of it is spent
on our present army and navy,
and the other IL cents goes to pay
salaries of public officials, cost of
harbor improvements, good roads,
education and peace time act
ivities. The Tullahoma Guardian.
1t can be said, truthfully, too,
that this tax effects the rich and
the man that is able to pay more
than any other tax growing out of
war conditions. The poor man.
who has to strive hard to make q
living for himself and family is
not effected by this tax. The rate
on incomes might be reduced as
conditions warrant, but there
ho ID remain an income tax.

WHAT WOMAN WANTS

In an advertised magazine article
the woman writer discusses the
question.
"What does the woman of today
want, a home or a career, love or
fame, children or independenccW
She says: Every woman has
four choices; to marry for love,
to marry without love. to stay at
home and exhaust herself in family
service, to go out and earn" The
advertisement adds
Maybe you have made your
choice. Would you do the same
again9 And how about your
daughteIsg"
The question. "How about your
daughtersi" Suggests that in one
alternative the writer presents
there wouldn't be any granddaugh.
tiers to worry about.
Another suggestion is the dreary
condition that would come OF no
homes with woman or children in
them.
But this sort of talk is mostly
one of the fads of the times, some
thing with which the excited
people who strive for novelty
amuse themselves. What is called
woman's emancipation" is not
going to lead to race suicide. No
feminine trait is stronger than the
love of home; nine out of ten will
prefer to marry, and, though the
families of the future may not be
uniformly so large as were those
of the pioneer days, the population
will continue to increase. The
fond and natural desire of nor

ence between Eve and her numer-

Gus parts of the earth is not great
when it comes to fundamentals.

FRIDAY. APRIL %, 1921
PAYS TO ADVERTISE

We met a merchant the other
day and asked him about the condi-
tion of his business. He said that
he bad very good trade, was
making some money. and condi-
lions were improving every day.
He had no complaint to make.
This man never has time to com
plain of hard times. Then, too,
he advertises every week ID the
year and could not be persuaded
to give up bis space in the county
paper, becauce be knows from ex,
perience that it is one of the best
investments he has ever made.
States Graphic.
The merchant who advertises
liberty and backs up his advertis-
ing with the goods will find bust
ness and will not have time to
complain at conditions. One of
our merchants, who advertises and
believes in it as trade getter, said
TO US a few days ago that his trade
had been better this spring so far
than it was during the same months
last year. And he was frank
enough to say that it was advertiS-
ing that made this possible.
The mail order houses have
learned the value of advertising
and they are doing more of it in
their way this year than ever be-
fore. and they are getting many
orders that should go to local
merchants. Much of this business
could be kept at home BY organ
lied, persistent advertising.
