SPECIAL BLANKS FOR FARM.
ER'S TAX

Thousands of farmers whose
net income for 1920 equaled or
exceeded the exemptions of 81 900
for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons will be required
to file on or before March 10,
1921, income tax returns for the
year 1920.
As an aid to farmers the Bur
eau of Internal Revenue has pre-
pared a special form, 1040F, for
recording sales of live stock, pro-
duce and summary Of income
and expenses. This form should
be attached to the taxpayers in
dividual return on Form 1910 or
1040A. Full instructions for max
ing out the forms are contained
in each.
Under gross income farmer
is required to includue all pro
ceeds derived from the sale of
farm products whether produced
on a farm or purchased for resale.
When he exchanges his produce
for groceries, clothing, or other
merchandise he must include in
his income the value of the ar
ticles received and exchanged.
Profit received from the sale Of
farm land or rent received II
the use thereof must also be in
cluded.
Net Income
In determining his net income,
upon which the tax is assessed,
the farmer may deduct all neces-
sary expenses incurred in the OPP
Grafton of his farm during the
year. These include cost of cult
walton, harvesting, and marketing
of his crops, the cost of seed and
fertilizer used, amount spent in
repair to farm, and to fences and
machinery. The cost of farm tools
used up III the course Of the year,
wages paid to employees other
than domestic servants, and rent
paid for farmland and buildings
(other than dwelling) are deduc-
tible.
Farmers who keep no records
or only records of cash receipts
and disbursements should make
their returns on the basis of act
ual receipts, but farmers who
keep complete accounts and who
take inventories at the beginning
and the end of the year to de
termine their profits should re
port on the accrual basis. Both
methods are fully explained on
Form l040F, copies of which may
be obtained from the offices of
collectors of internal revenue.

Mrs. Dingman Tells of Adventure
OF Childhood When Fathers
Ship Was Wrecked.
RELATES LATER EXPERIENCE
Declares That the Way TanIae Re-
stored Her Health Is More Re-
markabIe Than Anything She
Has Ever Had Happen
to Her.

1--WE had some remarkable expe-
riences in my life, but none more won
derful than the way Tanlac overcame
my troubles and made me gain TWEEN
ty pounds" was the statement of Mrs.
Christina X. Dingman, 1916 Alice ST.,
Oakland, Calf. One of the experiences
to which Mrs. Dingman refers is well
known to her friends. When a child
of three years, accompanying her ia
Their, a noted sea captain, on an ocean
trip, the vessel was wrecked, but she
was almost miraculously saved, the
small box into which she was put be-
ing washed ashore. According to her
statement, Mrs. Dingman enjoyed the
best Of health until three years ago
when she began to suffer from bad
form of stomach trouble and later
from rheumatism. How she was com
pletely restored to health is best told
in her own words:
'Nobody knows how I suffered for
the past three years. No matter how
carefully I ate I would endure ago.
MES afterwards from smothering and
sinking spells. Sometimes they were
so severe would fall to the floor and
would have to be carried to bed. I
went for days at a time without eat
ing, as dreaded the misery l knew
would follow, no matter what 1 ate.
Then rheumatism set in and my Shout
ders and arms hurt me so 1 couldn't
comb my hair. My back felt like 1t
was breaking in two.
II was almost in the depths Of de
spair when began on Tanlac, but this
grand medicine has made me well
and happy woman. I'm not even trou-
bled with constipation now, thanks to
the Laxative Tablets, which are far
superior to anything of the kind ever
tried, 1t seems almost too good to
be true, but here 1 am In the best of
health and spirits after I had given
up hope, and I'll always praise Tanlac
for It,"

mental processes of the owner. To
him particularly might be applied the
words of Theodore Roosevelt, who
said: "The habit of saving money
while it stiffens the will also brightens
the energies. If you would be sure
that you are beginning right begin
to save"
Much has been said and written
about the housing shortage in this
country and the menace which has
thus been fostered. Many evils both
economic and social are resulting from
the overcrowded conditions, particular
ly in the larger cities Of the country.
Many people are compelled to find
existence in quarters which represent
a step backward In their stand
ard of living. This is contrary to the
fundamentals of human nature, for
mankind has always insisted upon pro-
crossing toward better living stand
ards.
Nation Of Contented People.
Present conditions therefore are con-
tinually encouraging unrest. In the
congested districts of the large Ameri-
lean cities these conditions are also
conducive to the spread Of disease.
1t is said that tuberculosis is making
rapid inroads among those who live
in these quarters.
The present BODYBUILDING and home
owning movement, therefore, repre-
sents many important phases. The de-
velopment of thrift practices is not the
least of the benefit which Is sure to
result.
A nation of home owners is a nation
Of happy hearts and contented minds.
People who work and save and live in
homes of their own constitute solid
rock upon which the structure of any
nation may stand with security.
They are practicing thrift of the
most substantial kind. They are pre-
senting to their children a most
tangible and beautiful lesson on the
sound benefits of thrift practice.
Every encouragement should be
given to the development of the
present home ownership and home
building movement. It's continued
progress will mean much toward
fostering of a better national life.

PRETTY GIRL is THIEF

So she cast her prettiest glances at
Samuel DarwO, and he followed her
into a doorway. Then he was robbed
of his jeweiry and mOney-S6.
Her sweetheart, Michael ]. Egle,
was taken by the police. He told on
her and they found her; and now
She is weeping in the Tombs for her
mother.
"When / was fourteen" she said, 81
went to a theater one afternoon with
man much older than myself. He
coaxed me away from school to the
movies. He persuaded me to stay out
until 1t was ten o'clock at night and
was afraid to go home.
For three months 1 was just like
a prisoner. Then got out and went
home and told my mother all that had
happened.

ond offense."
And then she told of other trials
that beset a pretty girl.

English Tough,

whose women are described as "the
latest things ever SEEM" while the
men are thin, very athletic and often
well over six feet In height. One of
the cannibals stated in evidence that
"Englishmen were very tough, but In
dams nice and tender"
The crown Of the expedition was
six weeks spent with the king of Bun
yoro. He has become a Christian and
so felt 1t possible to give Mr.. Roscoe
all HIS fetiches, an entirely priceless
collection, which throws quite new
light on ceremonies going back to
1000 b. @.
He also organized a pageant of
some 1000 years Of ceremonial, such
a thing as no man ever saw before.
Thousands of natives themselves
came to see tia sort Of grand finale
to ages Of accumulated superstition.

17-Year-0ld Miss Pleads Guilty

Betrayed by Married Man Who Used
Her as Bait to Secure Vic

New York.-The most beautiful and
innocent looking girl" that the police
remember ever having arrested is
weeping for her mother in the Tombs.
She is Katherine zoeblein, seven
teen. She pleads guilty to the charge
against her. The charge is robbery,
and it is the second offense.
She was arrested when her where
abouts was disclosed by the married
man who used her as a bait to secure
victims to rob.
She still believes In him.

Since the king is also high priest ana
the great repository Of tradition. he
could give away the inmost mysteries
and did: How to bring rain is
miracle that Mr.. Roscoe achieved in
a forest holy Of holes and received
native thanks; how to promote all
sorts Of prOsperity-especially plenty
Of salt-and how to exercise evil.
BY his knowledge Of local language
and earlier visits Mr.. Roscoe who
was all alone, penetrated many pres
ent beliefs and customs that have
baked our rulers and our mission
aries. For example, In one tribe girls
are betrothed at birth and married
at twelve or fourteen. If they are
unfaithful before marriage they are
killed.
In the next tribe girls may do as
they will until after marriage. Many
most elaborate laws of marriage, Of
morality, of divorce and of land ten
ure have been revealed In the course
of the journey.
The discoveries Include valuable
commercial news, including an I'M
known graphite mine Of high quality.
Mr.. Roscoe says he has material for
five years work at six hours a day.

been completed by the Rev. John Ros-

Daily Mail representative.
He has brought back curious knowl-

things include fifty or so varieties Of

He found tribes who lived wholly on

a COW died, and after feeding on that

So vast are their cattle herds that

SUPREME COURT FAILS TO GIVE
C0NsTITUT|ONALITY DECISION
IN HUTCHINSON APPEAL

The Supreme Court On Monday
handed down decision IN TIE Hutch
insin case. but due to tie faet that
the court failed to pass upon the con-
stitutionality Of the statute involved.
II is neither . victory for The
Hutchinsons sor Gunnison county.
Under . stipulation in TIE lower
court, this question was to be de-
termined solely upon the constitution
ality Of the act, and II was understood
by both sides that the question alone
should govern the higher court. But
the court disfeGarded this stipulation
and overruled the Judgment Of Judge
Black on certain statement that was
not agreed upon.
This u . disappointment to both
the plaintiff and the defendant, and
the only course left IL for Cunnison
county to petition the Supreme Court
for q rehearing. II il under
stood that Hutchinson's attorneys al
20 desire a rehearing Of the case. ~
IL is not only necessary for the vari-
Gus tax officials to know the validity
Of the act, but the stockrnen who
ranges his stock in more than one
county is very much "up in the air in
knowing where he must pay his taxes
unless the constitutionality Of this
net is determined.
At the time Of the seizure Of
Hutchinson's stock last August for
taxes, Hutchinson enjoined the county
officials from SO doing. and when the
case came before Judge Black in the
district court, the county officials were
upheld. The case was appealed by
the Hutchinson storneys, but at that
time of the appeal, both sides stipu-
lated that the case in the Supreme
Court should be entirely and solely >
matter Of deciding as to the consti-
tutionality Of the 1902 act and 1911
amendment thereto under which the
county officials operated. The higher
court made their decision upon nn as

no trouble will be had in The future
In collecting taxes. Either way the
eat jumps, Gunnison and every other
grazing county will have been dis
tinctly benefited by this entire case.
Every county in the state is more
or less interested, for Il has been .
common practice for ten years to
assess stock for the time Il Graxed
in each county. Gunnison county
stcelmen are paying thousands to
Saguache that they must pay in their
hosns county, II this decision stands.
Ths State Tax Commission is also
