ter today. Pay at once, and avoid
the final rush of the last days,
and possible disfranchisement thru
failure to meet these requirements.
Don't confuse this with your re-
ceipt for 1919, which you paid
last year. A new years taxes are
now due.
Go to the Trustees Office in the
court house, and hunt up Jeff
Phillips, the city marshal, who col
lects the city's dollar poll-tax.
You don't necessarily have to
pay your property taxes; they are
not delinquent in the city until
March LIST, and in the county until
May 1st. But, be sure to pay the
poll-tax.
You must have both city and
county poll-tax receipts to vote,

CITY EMPLOYEES
SALARY EXEMPT
Mayor OF Paris Is Allowed To De-
duct His $50 Yearly Salary
From Income.

Salaries paid to State employees
including also employees of town,
county or hamlet, are exempt from
taxation. Thousands of persons en-
gagged in business for themselves or
as employees in private business re-
ceive such additional compensation.
A storekeeper may be elected mayor
of his town. The amount paid for
such services should be entered on
his income tax return, but it is not
taxable.
State employees, however, must con-
slider carefully their income from all
other sources. If, excluding the a.
mounts paid them by the State, it
equals or exceeds $1,000 or $4,000
according to their marital status, a
return of income must be filed and
the tax paid on net income in ex-
cess of those amounts.
The return must be sworn to be-
fore notary public or other person
authorized to administer an oath.
The tax may be paid in full at the
time of filing the return or in four
equal installments, due on or be-
fore March Is, June IS, September
Is, and December Is, 1921. AT least
one-fourth of the amount due must
accompany the filing of the return.
Salary exemptions allowed State
employees do not apply to employees
of the Federal government, such, for
example, as postmasters.

Sugar Ascending; -.
Ten Cents A. Pound

Sugar, which has been retailing
here as low as 1-2 and cents a
pound went up to 10 cents this week,
and an Immediate raise to II cents
is generally looked for.
Many Paris people anticipating SUI
gar's upward trend, hastened to pur-
chase sugar in hundred pound sacks
or in larger amounts before the raise,
as it has been ruhhored on the streets
and in the grocery stores here for the
past six days that the price of sugar
would be boosted in a short time,
Several retailers are now only appor-
tioning ten pounds to an individual
purchaser.
No authentic explanation of sugar
again starting skyward has been Civ,
en-. 1t is thought by some, that the
price lis now appreachings a leve'
where it will remain, that Increased
freight rates and handling prevent
pre- war prices on sugar holding, thai
the supply exceeding the demand
caused sugar to be so substantially
reduced, and that with the refining
of the 1920 crop now two months
passed, boost in price is only logi
cal -.
However that may be-. the boosted
price must be borne, though it il
likely that increased prices on any
thing will not now be received az

 Identifies Babies

Continued from Page Four.) every twenty-four hours. the record is six within twelve hours, and the nursery at all times has an average of from thirty-fiv to forty newborn babies in it.
 In the maternity division of the Bridgeport Hospital, which is sep arated from all sounds and knowl- edge of the rest of the institution the little strangers, newly arrived, are given every advantage known to science, regularly and systematically. At the moment of birth a record is commenced in which is included every essential fact of their existence to the moment of leaving the hos . pita1 and they go out with the 'advan- tage of two weeks of the best care that great knowledge and experience can give them.
 One of the recent feats of the maternity departm is the saving , of the life of a baby which is not much more than two weeks old and weighs only two pounds and two ounces but is nevertheless the road to be a real person.
 1t is 0 singular thing that while the Brid dgeport Hospital is one of the most progressive and up to date in the country and certain features of it's operations are known and being copied all over the United States Bridgeport people, as a rule, are un- acquainted with it and the great ad- yantages it places at their disposal.
