Every possible obstacle is being put

from getting possession OF the Muscle
Shoals plant upon terms Of such mag

oyerbid him. The opponents silly ad-
vance every theoretical objection
against his magnificent offer. Great
railway interests, great banking inter

averse to allowing Henry Ford to close
the deal with the government. Those

TIE BETTER WAY

Better think or the days that viii
come
Than weep for the days that are
gone.
Better to keep your mind at rest
Than dreaming of what can be done
Better TO walk on the sunny side
Than stand in the dark and cold.
Better TO brighten bitter life
And leave your sorrows untold.
Better TO think before you leap
Than TO scramble about I'm darkness
Better TO climb the steep hilrs side
Than stand at the foot in sadness
Better to work while the bright sun
shines
And sleep while the night lights
glimmcr,
Better be active while you're stin
young:
IN old age the hand doth CULVER.
Better to make the best OF things,
Whatever Your lot may be.
Better TO float in a world like this
Than sink in sorrowful sea.

INCOME TAX FACTS

In computing net income the tax
payer is permitted to deduct from
gross income certain deductions for
losses, bad debts, contributions. inter-
est, taxes, etc. Deductions for losses
include not only losses incurred in the
taxpayers trade or business, but losses
connected with any transaction ''en-
tered into for profit" or if arising
from fires, storms shipwreck, or other
casualty. Deductions for losses are al
lowab BILE only to the extent that they
are not compensated for by insurance
or otherwise.
Losses arising from the destruction
or damage to property acquired prior
to March !, 1913, are to be computed
on the basis of the fair market price
or value as of that date, unless the cost
is less than such value in which case
the los sis computed on the basis of
cost.
A new provision of the revenue act
of 1921 is that in exceptional cases. and
in order to more clearly reflect income,
the commissioner of internal revenue
may permit the deduction of a loss
other than in the year in which actu-
ally sustained. The taxpayer in his re-
turn, or an amended return. may de-
duct a loss only for the year in which
sustained. If he desires to account for
the loss is computed on the basis of
attach to his return for that year re-
quest for consideration of the case by
the commissioner. together with
complete statement OF facts. Upon au-
dit of the return, the commissioner will
decide whether the case is within the
exception provided by statute. Allow
ance of deduction other than in the
year In which actually sustained is
entirely within the discretion of the
commissioner and will apply only in
exceptional cases.

WHAT DO THEY ACCOMPLISH?

The latest national political fad is
the holding of conferences. The con-
ference is now the most popular of all
indoor sports. and life at the capital
OF the nation is just one conference
after another.
When Senator Borah, the big out
standing, outspoken senator from
Idaho, introduced his resolution for a
disarmament conference, he started
something. One conference now treads
upon the heels of another, and this is
only the beginning.
Something is wrong. The admins
tration is ''up a stump" and doesn't
know what to do; let's call confer
ence; let's assemble the best minds"
have a warm handshake, have our pic
lures taken with our genial chief ex-
ecutive in the center, palaver and pow
WOW for a few days, and then "all
aboard for Gods country which
means home to the average man.
Then what happens? Nothing what
ever. Oh, yes there are the resolutions
which have been passed. Resolutions
are mostly like good intentions-they
make good paving material in warm
climate.
And SO il came to pass that after
the unemployment conference was
over and the unemployme question
settled and everybody had a job and
was back to work--except the ex-ser-
vice men who tramp around. some of
them in rags, and get turned down
everywhere they go, just as VIII Hays
turns them down when they want to
be postmasters after they get the high
est rating-following the unemploy-
ment conference, tine Great Conferrer
calls an agricultural conference. More
handshakes, more white house recep-
tons. more group photographs, more
palavers, etc, etc. On, yes. and more
resolutions. Great stuff! Back to nor
malcy.

THE APPLE THAT WAS
NEVER PICKED


Now that the winds OF winter have
barred the trees and their limbs make
silhouettes against the sky. If you walk
into the country you maye see 1.-THE
apple that never was picked, Withered
and shrunken, it's bloom departed, it
hangs upon a barren branch--a dere-
let of nature,
In the autumn the tree was heavy
with fruit. The schoolhoy took his toll.
picking the apples that were nearest,
or climbing the sturdy trunk TO cap
ture the prize that looked the biggest
and the best. Then the farmer came
with his pickers. his baskets, his lad
ders, and limb by limb the tree was
stripped
Yet deep in the foliage there re-
manned one apple. The sun had reach
ed in and colored it a bright and beau
tiful red. Il was cool and plump and
rich with juice-an apple to desire. But
none desired it because none saw IT,
Hanging from an obscure branch it
was hidden from the view of pilfeFers
and piclters alike-and they passed it
by.
The apple that never was picked Is a
cousin of the product that is not
known IF YOU go into a store at in
ventory time, you will find this product
there on the shelves, its brightness
dulled by the dust Of months. its
freshness faded by long waiting for a
buyer. Since it's coming the shelves
of the merchant have emptied and fiji
cd and emptled and filled again. but
the product that IS not known still lin
gers and lanquishes a derelict OF
trade.
Nature willed that the apple that
never was picked should grow upon
an obscure limb behind a screen OF
foliage. It had no voice to eau out that
it was there. 1t had no words TO pro-
claim its ripe sweetness
Consider now the product. II could
have spoken its name In the very ears
of the people as they sat in their
homes. II could have made that name
instantly familiar to the shopper who
scans the window Of merchants. Ii
could have told in stirring words the
story of its goodness. It could have
created desire and the viii TO buy.
For there is a voice that speaks the
merits of worthy products TO the minds
OF the people--a voice that is heard
round the world+-the voice of adver-
tising.-N. w. Aver & Son, in The Ma
tons Business.

DOES COURTESY PAY?

Does courtesy always pay?
When docs courtesy cease TO be a
virtue?
Both these questions were aroused
by the experience of friend who re-
Gently visited newspaper office in a
Florida city.
This friend was offended because
he thought he had been treated rudely.
What happened was this;
lie walked into a very busy news
room and laid his card on the desk OF
the city editor. The visitor expected
to be greeted warmly as was his Gus
tomary reception at home. The city
editor of this Florida newspaper gruff-
~ answered: Il haven't time to talk
10 you today"
Perhaps this city editor was too alb
rupt.
But the happening pointed a moral.
Newspaper offices are busy places. The
newspaperman's work is limited by
time. He must finish his job today.
The newspaper goes to press at fixed
hour. Other bushes firms may lay
over this or that job for tomorrow, but
not so with the newspaper-each day
brings a new job-the production of
that days publication.
And so many, many visitors do not
realize this fact. So many many CALI
ers expect the wheels of work TO stop
while they discuss their pet project.
Courtesy is a fine thing and most
newspaper men possess it. But there
Is a limit to how far it may go before
II ceases to pay and to be a virtue

VETERANS AND CRIME.

Slackers, radicals, paciEcists and
others who have asserted that most
criminals are ex-seryice men have the
lie thrown back in their teeth in fig
nres compiled in New York state, the
state that has the largest crime record
Of any in the Union.
In the New York reformatory at FL
! mira, 1000 criminals between the ages
of 16 and 80 have been assembled since
the arnistice. OF these only 31S or 16
per cent. were former service men.
When it is considered that the service
made almost a clean sweep of Ameri-
can youths of these ages the low per-
pleasing to real Americans. And of
these 31S it is worth noting that only
half of them had criminal records be-
fore they joined the army. Nor were
they associated mostly with crimes of
violence, for only 43 were convicted of
carrying weapons or committing
crimes OF violence. At Auburn only
80 of the 1900 convicts We're ex-ser-
vice men. At Clinton, $50 of the 1882
prisoners are veterans. And there We're
only 40 who We're in service among the
40 inmates of the Great Meadow
prison.
Who, then, are all the other convicts
who were not in the service? No fig
ures as to their identity are given,
but we'll give odds of ten to one that
investigation would show more of the
tribe that are assailing ex-service men
than of veterans in these prisons. 1t
is to be expected of course, that a
Stacker or radical would lie and a pa
cifist would be ignorant on this ques-I
tions as well as on everything else.

Physical Examinations

:
| 1t has been estimated by physicians
that the general practice of undergo
ing an annual physical examination 10y
a competent physician would add five
years TO the average life of persons
between rs and so. The habit of hav-
ing such an examination should begin
much earlier in life, however, as an
examination of office workers in Now
York City several years ago proved.
Two thousand young men and women,
of an average age of SO, were given a
thorough examination and soce very
startling facts of physical disability
We're brought to light. Out of these
men and women, just in the early
prime of life and supposedly picked
because of their especial fitness for
work, only ala per cent were found
free of impairment or of habits OF liv-
ing which We're obviously leading to
impairment,
Of the remaining number more than
96 per cent We're unaware that they
had any physical trouble and, except
for this examination, would probably
have gone on in ignorance until ii was
far advanced. Among the most preva-
lent defects discovered We're chronic
heart trouble, arteriosolerosis, high or
low blood pressure, kidney trouble, de-
cayed teeth or infected gums, and un-
corrected faulty vision. The most Sc
rious fact, however, was that sufficient
trouble to cause the examiner to refer
the examinee to his family physician
for medical treatment was found in SO
per cent to the total number OF cases,
Trafla ~ &C
to serious impairment on account of
too much alcohol, too much tobacco,
constipation, eyestrain, overweight
diseased mouths, errors of diet and so
forth.
Professor irving Fisher, in COM
menting upon the results of this ex-
animation, said:
believe that it can be shown to the
satisfaction of any reasonable person
that the increase (of degenerative dis
eases) is largely due to the neglect of
individual hygiene in the United
States. IL a man were suddenly at
fiicted with smallpox or typhoid fever
or any other acute malady, he would
lose no time in getting expert advice
and applying every known means TO
save his life. But his life may be
threatened just as seriously, though
possibly not SO enninently, by arterios-
clerosis, heart disease or Bright's dis
ease, and he win do nothing to pre-
vent the encrachment of these dis
eases until it is too late, but will con-
tinue to eat as he pleases, drink as he
pieases, smoke as he pleases, or over
