Egg Market Slides;
Butter Prices of

Eggs have probably appeared on
more Paris tables this week, and
more frequently than they have in
the last four years, because they
are cheaper than they have been in
such a. space of time. They were
selling on the streets here Saturday
for 20 cents a dozen, and many bus
mess men could be seen carrying
home a small box of hen fruit"
and invariably wearing the contented
smile of satisfied bargainors.
On Friday when eggs dropped to
rs cents, most of the grocers stock
ed up with several days supply,
hence the street sales, on Saturday
when the egg market here over
flowed and the price dropped.
Butter, too, is cheaper than it has
been in sometime. Hanging around
40 and 35 cents a pound for many
weeks, it sold here Saturday for 25
cents, and good country butter. at
that.
With sugar at pre-war prices, moth

which delights the sweet tooth of

According to the law, poll-taxes,

80 days before the city election, il
you qualify to vote. Property tax,
however, is not now due to oe

This means that if you'd vote
in ) the city election April I'd,
you must pay your poll taxes
pretty soon-next week, or bet
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 sin the city until
March 1st, 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.
Women are not required to pay

TEACHERS SEEK
POSITIONS AS
SCHOOLSCLOSE
Forty-Five County Teachers Are Ont
OF Employment Account Alb
breyiated Term.
SHAMEFUL REFLECTION ON
ANY LITERARY COMMUNITY
With Most Favorable Conditions For
School Attendance, Term Cut
To Five Months

Forty-five teachers were added to
the list of the unemployed this week
when the rural schools closed their
five months term. Very few of this
number have found other employ
ment; the majority of them taught
for $50 or less.
Several subscription schools have
begun, at Puryear, Whitlock, Manly
vile, New Boston, Henry, Cottage
Grove, and one or two other places,
but the majority of children in this
county are out of school now for six
or eight months consecutively.
OF course it is a shame, and of
course Henry Countains are not go
ing to be satisfied with such regretta-
BILE conditions existing again next
year.
County Superintendent Joe Routon
says that the average attendance
at the county schools this year has
been better than in many years, that
no flu epidemic nor servere weather
conditions have interfered with the
school routine, and that the interest
in the schools generally has most
pleasingly increased.
Particularly fine reports have come
in about Red Top school, Sulphur
Well Academy, Elkhorn, Clifty, and
number of others. Statistics entire
. cannot be compiled until every report
is in.

LIVING COSTS
NOT DEDUCTED
Not Permitted To Come OF Gross In
Determining Income Tax
Figures.

Frequent inquiries are received by
collectors of interal revenue from
storekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in busi-
ness for himself may deduct from his
gross earnings an amount or salary
paid to himself. Wages or salary
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 income
and the effect would be to take the
money out of one pocket and put 1t
in another. Therefore, claims for
such deductions are not allowable.
Salaries paid to minor children en-
ployed in the conduct of a Taxpayers s
business are not allowable deductions.
If, however, a son or daughter has
attained majority, or is allowed free
use of their earnings without re-
strictions, reasonable amount paid
as compensation for their services
may be claimed.
A farmer who employs a man to
assist in the operation of his farm
may deduct from gross income the
amount. paid for such services. Like
wise, if he employs a woman whose
entire time is occupied in taking
care of the milk, cream, butter, and
churns, or if her services are devoted
entirely to the preparation and SER
wing of meals furnished farm labor
ers and in caring for their rooms the
compensation paid her is an allowa-
BILE deduction. If, however, she is
employed solely in caring for the
farmers own household no deduc-
ton can be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deductions
may be made for ordinary and nee
essary business expenses. The rev.
enue act specifically prohibits the de-
duction of personal, family, or living
expenses. Such expenditures include
rent for a home, wages of servants,
cost of food and clothing for the
family, education of children, land
all items connected with the main
tenance, well-being and pleasure of
the taxpayer and his family

Jos. Weinbaun, To
Head Relief Drive
For Hungry Europe

Mr.. Joe Weinbaum has agreed to
accept the county craftsmanship of
the Near East Relief Fund, which
proposes to help feed the millions
of little starving children across the
seas.
The quota asked of this county
is $1,000, and every cent that has
been previously given, may be count
ed in that amount. For instance,
the amount raised by the theatre
benefit the contributions from the
different churches, even individual
contributions, il accounted for, will
be included in the amount attributed
to this county.
Mr. Weinbaum will not begin the
active campaign for funds until after
ten days, as he is now busy winding
out his mercantile business, which
he has recently sold but after that
time he will be at leisure, and will
then announce his plans for raising
more money in this county for the
greatest charity of all times. He is
a big hearted man, a capable eXecu
tive, and will do conscientious work
for the cause.
He will have the capable assistance
of Mrs NJ NJ Phillips in the work,
who although one of the busiest
women in Paris, always doing some
thing for church or school, she has
consented to help in this drive.
The town is a little late in get
ting actively interested in the work,
but the need in Europe is as great
as ever and a charity dollar over
there will go as far as ever before.
There are many people here, who are
only waiting to be approached to
open their purses in a beautiful spirit
of liberal giving.

manner, and high courtesy, that en-
anated from an unseltish and kindly
disposition, and that stamped him a
true Southern gentleman. He num-
bered his friends by the score, and
was esteemed by everyone.
For many years he was in the hv-

time, and later forming partnership
with H V Somerville, to whom he
sold the business. His business in

he travelled for the Elder Manufac-
turing Company, st. Louis.
His devotion to his sister, Mrs
Granger, who has always made her

since her marriage, has been very
beautiful.

Springlike days are spreading base

that Paris is likely to meet on the

team that will be a credit to the

other appreciators of the great Amer
lean game are soon going to "get

team, that can go up against the
best of them.
In the meantime, baseball activities
of neighboring towns are noted with
interest.
Mayfield ball team this season is

Lawrenceburg team last year: He is
35 years old, plays second base, is
full of ball pep, and is Thoroughly fa-

pro ball. He was in New York with
| Frank Chance, and later played with
him on the coast.
Mayfeld is highly gratifed over
securing Cook as manager, and is
planning a big season, to open May
