MADE IN MAZOOMA


MI the attractions at Cedar Har.
V Dor. For three, summers his
shop had been the mecca of
women Of all ages, whoS seeking re-
lief from the heat Of Hid-western
cities. found Mr.. Glendenning's the one
place in the upper lake region where
they could buy things they didn't real
Indian curio man and the usual shop
offering needlework from remote con-
vents, but these lacked the atmosphere
that made Mr.. Glendenning's little
room on Main street SO enthralling.
Mr.. Glendenning was so agreeaole
and his manners so engaging that his
relations with his customers were
robbed of all sordid commercial taint.
If a lady admired something in Mr..
Glendenning's he would fold his arms
smile diffidently and remark that ne
was pleased that she liked it; he was
very fond of it himself: it was some
thing he had picked up" at the dis

He would end with a gesture OF de.
spair. holding the precious OBJECT at
arms length, apparently for his own
alteration rather than to invite the
visitors admiration. Indeed. it SEEM
ed that he forgot her presence, so
deeply absorbed did he become in the
contemplation OF the blue or green OF
yellow thing under scrutiny. Ana
then. recovering himself with an Ell
fort. he would restore the vase gently
to the counter and ask with the ten
derest feeling after the mother or the
aunt CT the grandmother of the caIier.

tons illness: we shall miss her; the
season won't be quite the same wirhs
out her.
The potential purchaser would with
difficulty bring the subject back to the
vase. and then'Mr. Glendenning would
manifest embarrassment. as though a
rival collector were bent upon roboing
him of his most priced possession. If
1T was a rainy afternoon (and on rainy
afternoons the shop was likely to be
crowded) he would inadvertently men
tion tea, which would be served at
tables at the rear of the shop by

MUST FILE TAX
 RETURNS CORRECTLY
Bublic Warned of Danger in Filing False and Fraudulent Income
 Tax Returns.
Tax Returns.

In view of the severe penalties pro- vided by law for the false and fraud ulent income tax returns. taxpayers are warned not to omit from their re- turns for 1920 any gains and profits realized by them during Inc past year. Income tax returns are due about the fifteenth of March and should be filed as soon as possible. Several cases have been reported to the authorities in regard to people who have realized gains within the past year and did not make note o1 such on their tax returns. The fol- lowing is a statement released by tax officials:
 Numerous inquiries have reached James J. Walsh. collector of inter nal revenue. Hartford. Conn, reia- tive to the decision of United States District Court of Connecticut in the Brewster case in which it was held that gains and profits realized rom the sale of capital assets is not tax able income. The United States at torney for Connecticut has been auth orized to perfect an appeal 70 the supreme court of the United States for n review of the decision. since Congress. under the provisions or the income tax acts of 1913, 1916 ana 1918, has directed the taxation as IT, cme of such gains and profits the bu- reau will continue to collect the tax thereon. unless and until the supreme court shall hold that provision or law to be unconstitutional
 "The same question is involved 'n the Eldorado and Ryerson cases which were argued in the supreme court some weeks ago. A decision in these cases undoubtedly will settle the general question"
