INCOME TAX FACTS

Farmers, rangers, herders, dairy
men, truck gardeners, vineyard and
orchard owners, and other food pro-
ducers must compute their net and
gross incomes for 1921 and ascertain
whether an income tax return, or a
tax, or both are due. All gains, pro-
fits, and income derived from the sale
or exchange of farm products, wheth-
er produced on the farm or purchased
and resold, must be included in gross
income. When a farmer exchanges
his products for groceries, clothing,
or other merchandise, the fair mar
ket value of such goods must be in
Guided. Profit received from the sale
of farm land, or rent received for the
use thereof, must be included.
In determining income, upon which
the tax is assessed, the farmer may
deduct from gross income all necess-
airy expenses incurred in the operation
Of his farm during the year of 1921.
These include cost Of cultivation, har-
vesting, and marketing of his crops,
cost of feed and fertilizer used,
amount spent in repairs to farm build
ings (other than the dwefling) and to
fences and machinery. Wages paid to
farm hands are deductible, but no
wages paid to domestic servant,
which is personal expense.
AS an aid to farmers, the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue has prepared a
srecial form, 1040F, for recording
sales of live stock, produce, and a
summary which must be attached to
the individual return of income and
expenses.
An unmarried OF widowed farmer
OF one living apart from his wife
must file an individual return for 1921
if his net income for 1921 was $1,000
or more, or if his gross income was
S5 goo or more. If married and living
With his wife on Decenber 81. 1921. a
~eturn mnst be filed if his net income
vas $1,000 or more. or if his gross
income was $4,000 or more.

Lots Of Action In
Third Boxing Card

Fans who pay TO see real scrapping
certainly got their moneys worth at
the Armory Tuesday evening.
The main bout resulted in Landon
Chapman's third consecutive X. o.
victory. Fred Harris, of Kinnickin-
mic, the victim, had confident man
ner and a derisive smile during the
first two rounds, but he didn't have
the punch or the defense, and in the
fourth round his confidence and smile
were suddenly obliterated by swim
ming stars, twittering brides and the
monotonous drone of the 1-to-10
count. He was through for the eve
ming.
The semi-wind-up was real bat
tie, the gladiators standing toe to toe
and exchanging lusty blows from
gong to gong, and each having a
turn in the lead. Mat Nelson looked
like winner in the first two rounds,
apparently having Kordovsky, of
Cherma, about out. But Kordovsky
won the popular decision by getting
through and flooring Mat twice in the
last spasm. Both boys deserve lots
of credit for their game and clever
exhibition.
Adolph Kohl went in against Vic.
Bennett for the second preliminary,
and stuck three rounds in a ring filled
with nervous clubs, bricks, mules and
other implements of destruction, or
so it must have seemed to him until
they stopped the farce and led him
back to the showers.
Tommy Finley was sick and unable
to come down from st. Paul that eve
ming, so Cy. Howalt of Hudson took
Tommy's place against Eric Nelson.
also of Hudson. Eric was no match
for Cyl, but the latter made it a good
bout by doing some clever light box
ing against Nelson's apparently real
earnest efforts.
Tom Lenhart of Eau Claire re-
forced all of tie bouts.
VIM. Hart Of Eau Claire represent
ed the state boxing commission.
The show was well attended, every
seat being taken and many fans stand
ing in the wide space along the walls.

PARENT-TEAoHERs MEETING

The second meeting of the Parent
Teachers association was held in the
High School auditorium on Tuesday
evening of last week. The meeting
was presided over by the president,
Mrs. Frank Pomeroy. Minutes of the
previous meeting were read by the
secretary, Mrs. Kulstad. A few it.
ems of business were taken up and
discussed and this was followed by
short addresses by Professor Davee
and Professor Mason. Both spoke
briefly and to the point on the work
Of the school in its different phases,
and the benefit that will come to
teachers, pupils and parents if all
interested parties will unite in hear
ty cooperation in this association that
has just been formed.
Then came the main address of the
evening, by Judge Scion Perrin of SUI
pcAior, on the work of the juvenile
court over which he presides. Judge
Perrin was former River Falls boy,
having been born and raised to early
manhood in the Kinnickinnic Valley.
Many old friends were in the audi
ence and the hearty greetings he gave
to all at the close showed that he sill
has warm place in his heart for his
boyhood home.
The address was full of serious
facts and startling. points that it
have been well if every parent in the
city could have heard He pointed out
the underlying causes and the pitfalls
that bring SO many young lads and
lassies into his court room. AS
prominent factors in this great ques-
ton OF juvenile irregularity ne
blames the lax discipline of many
modern homes and the modern moth
er who allows her daughter to go to
school dressed as for spink tea or
other social function.
This meeting was only the second
that has been held, but the fact that
there are already nearly one hundred
members shows the interest that has
been aroused. This is national
movement and it is a matter of pride
that River Falls teachers and parents
are lining up so quickly to make it a
success and of mutual benefit to all
concerned.
After the program social hour
was enjoyed in which teachers and
parents had chance to become ac-
auainted in delightfully."- informal
way. Refreshments were served.

Letter From Idaho

Dear Journal,
You no doubt have been looking fol
q long time for a letter from the
Gem State, Idaho.
We are in beautiful valley here
that is about Is miles long and or {
miles wide in spots. AS you drive up
the Snake river the valley widens and
and as you drive down toward Boise
the valley gets very narrow with
steep bluffs on each side.
Fruits, alfalfa hay and sheep are
the principal products raised here.
There are also some politicians here.
We are in Gooding county, the county
having been named for Senator Good
ing Of Idaho.
Several car loads of sheep have
been shipped from here to the Chicago
market as the price is better there
than at st. Paul or Omaha.
This has been the first real winter
here for many years, as one lady said
last week she came with her folks TO
this valley when she was five years
old and was here nearly tweny years
before she saw horse and sleigh as
~ not have enough snow for
sleighing.
Years ago the Mormon people held
full sway here, but of late years they
have not been so popular. The Metho-
dist is the leading church now and
the Baptist people have church here
too, but their services are not very
well attended. The pastor of the
Baptist church is in very poor health.
He has been here several years.
Trout fishing is always good here
ten months in the year, from May I'M
til March. We have had the pleasure
Of landing some of these beauties.
Bellingher creek boasts of three diff
ferent kinds of trout, German Brown,
Rainbow and Speckled. Bellingher
creek is fed by springs the same as
the Kinnickinnic river, and is used
for irrigation. All through the warm
weather tourists stop and enjoy the
camping ground and fish in the Bel
lingher.
The fruits that are raised here are
the Apricot, Apples, Cherries. peach
es, prunes, plums, Nectarinis, Ever
bearing Strawberries. Dewberries and
both the Red and Black Raspberries
are grown here in great quantities,
and there is always good market
for them.
The farmers were glad of the cold
weather as it enabled THEM to cut ice
for their summer use. Ice was cut on
the pond in town 8 inches thick. That
is as thick as it ever gets here AS
many winters never see bit OF ice
here. Most of the ice is shipped In
making it very expensive and ice
cream very scarce, except at the soda
fountains. The Robins and Meadow
Larks stay here all winter, so you
see we have a very mild climate most
of the time. | suppose this will reach
the waste paper basket so | will
close.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. N. d. NoIthroo
