"REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR

Boissevain Va, March II.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
On tho 10th of August, 1862. the
day after the battle, General Jack
son permitted he enemy, under flag
of truce, to bury his dead and care
for his wounded. We also, cared for
our own. Then is the time for sorrow
and grief. Usually death and wounds
select he best. Fight an army long
enough and not much except the tail
is left.
AS Banks was receiving reinforce
monts every day Stoncwall Jackson
fell back on Gordonsville and wait
ed for Longstreet. About this time
General Pope was put in command.
His army was on the Rappahannock
river. Near the last of August Gen.
jackson was ordered to march around
Ropes right flank and get between
his army and Washington. We kept
near the Blue Ridge; marched So
miles i'll two days. and the evening
OF the second day found US at Ma
nassas, in possession of all sorts of
war material. General Pope soon
found out the trouble, when he could
no longer communicate with Wash
ington city. We were between Pope
and Washington city But Pope was
between us and Longstreet. Then the
enemy planned by n rapid march on
Manassas to attack Jackson with his
whole force and utterly destroy him
before Longstreet could come TO his
relief. Good plan. Ought to have
worked out but it did not. The
trouble was that they knew not the

The fir cooperage industry has

LAYS CARDS ON TABLE

The Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company has been carrying
on an educational advertising
campaign to acquaint the public
it serves with the facts regarding
its cost of operation.
1t shows that salaries and wages
constitute 70 per cent of the ex-
pense of the company. In other
words Y cents out of every dollar
90 for wages.
Total increase in wages over
pre-war days has been 60 per cent
as compared with increase of over
100 per cent in many other lines
of activity requiring no greater
skill than telephone work.
The company states frankly
that with smaller proportionate
wage increase than most other in
dustries it does not favor wage
reductions for its employees un-
der present conditions.
Increases allowed in telephone
rates have been smaller in proper
ton than wage increases. The
company is laying its cards on the
table to show why it is necessary
for it to ask for HIGHER rates in
many localities at this time.
The condition of the telephone
company is typical of the majority
of public utility enterprises, their
rates did not advance in proper
ton to other commodities, and in
creases We're long delayed and in
many instances have not yet been
granted.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Property is the fruit of labor;
property is desirable is a positive
good in the world. That some
should be rich shows that others
may become rich; and hence is
just encouragement TO industry
and enterprise. Let not him who
is houseless pull down the house
of another, but let him work dill
gently and build one for himself,
thus by example assuring that his
own shall be safe from violence

can. He broke the law of heredity,
for neither his mother nor his
father were in any manner out
of the ordinary class of poor
folks. He broke the law of en-
vironment, for he was born in a
log shack, grew up in neigh
borhood of illiteracy, and the only
schooling he ever received was
in the university Of Hard
Knocks. )" But Notwithstanding
all this-he ranks to-day as the
third greatest man who ever lived
and loved and died. The other
two members of the big trinity
of earth-giants being Moses, the
lawgiver, and Julius Caesar, who
was. a colossus in everything.
1t were well to consider a few
of the great traits of Lincoln s
make up to be able to apply them
to the citizenship of to-day. For
the things which made Lincoln
great sixty years ago, are the
same things which constitute
greatness to-day. The winds of
sovietism, of public graft, of
farce congressional Investigations,
of Turkish butcheries, of banks
failing, of domestic infdelity, of
robberies, of a thousand and one
other things which fill the daily
press dispatches, has been driving
the simple old Ship of State out

ing, and rocks threatening Just

INJUNCTION AGAINST soLoN

There should be a perpetual in
junction granted against allowing
newspapers to use the word Scion
as applied to modern legislators.
Scion was the law maker of
ancient Greece and made record
that endcars his name to the
world even down to the present
age.
He reduced taxes and enacted
laws to enable the people who
were hopelessly in debt to regain
their freedom from political slave
ry.
He added the great island of
Salamis to his country's territory,
and established indirect taxation
so direct taxes were not much
used.
For direct taxation he divided
society into three classes so that
those with the largest incomes
paid double, and middle class half
as much as those having below
a certain amount nothing.
Those who had the highest hon
ors and dignities in the>state were
assessed in proportion to the of
fees they held.
1t will be seen that his ideas
were exactly opposite to modern
tendencies and his ideals We're
really democratic.

INCOME TAX FACTS YOU
SHOULD KNOW

Births, deaths, and marriages
during the year 1920 affect mater
tally income tax returns for that
year.
Millions Of babies were added
to family circles, each Of whom
brings an exemption Of 5000 in
the parents income tax return.
Widows and widowers 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 $1,000, UNI
less the head of a family.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement
during the year also must con,
slider themselves as single persons
The status Of the taxpayer on
December 81, 1920, determines the
amount of the exemptions. If on
that day the taxpayer was mar.
ried and living with wife or hus-
band, claim may be made for the
$4,000 exemption. 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 earn
ings for that period amounted to
$1,000 or more, or $4,000 or more,
according to their marital status,
must file return and pay tax
on their net income in excess of
those amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return
must be in the hands of the collec-
tor of Internal Revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer
lives, or has his principal place
of business, on or before midnight

Frequent inquiries are received
by collectors of internal revenue
from storekeepers and other bust
ness men as to whether the tax
payer in business for himself may
deduct from his gross earnings
an amount of salary paid to him
self. Wages or salaries drawn by
a taxpayer from his own business
are more in the nature of a charge
out of profits than a charge
against profits. If deductible they
would merely be added to his in
come and the effect would be to
take money out of one pocket and
put it in another. Therefore
claims for such deductions are not
allowable.
Salaries paid to minor children
employed in the conduct of tax
payers business are not allowable
deductions. If, however, a son or
daughter has attained majority,
or is allowed free use of their
earnings without restriction, a
reasonable amount paid as com
pensation for their services may
be claimed.
A farmer who employees a man
to assist in the operation of his
farm may deduct from gross in
come the amount paid for such
services. Likewise, if he employs
a woman who's entire time is oc-
cupied in taking care of the milk
cream, butter and churns, or if
her services are devoted entirely
to the preparation and serving of
meals furnished farm laborers and
in caring for their rooms, the com
pensation paid her is an allowable
deduction, If, however, she is
employed solely in caring for the
farmers household no deduction
can be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deduc.
tons may be made for ordinary
and necessary business expenses.
The revenue act specifically pro-
hibits the deduction of personal,
family or living expenses, Such
expenses include rent for home,
wages of servants, cost of food
and clothing for the family, educa-
ton of children, "and all items
