BUSINESS SHOULD BE SERVICE"

Mental concepts are true and have power
when they can be expressed in form and can
be demonstrated in terms of mathematics,
Such concepts are always seized by business
for immediate demonstration, for business is
not only the alchemy by which compounds
are miraculously transformed but it is the
very eye of vision Miracles are not accomp-
lished by perception alone, nor yet by mental
acquiescence, but by the actual demonstration
of principles. Business is the absolute dem
onstrator. Our great thinkers never advance
postulate so far-reaching within the mental
horizon but that business has already proved
it or stands ready to put it to work when
the pronouncement is made.
Ycu look at dollar and you do not see
its value Place the goods that a dollar will
buy beside the coin and you see its assumed
value. Consider the dollar as a unit of value
and you learn a great deal about the NUM-
Der one and the letter | and you see how
business has comprehended, embraced and
demonstrated two profound fundamentals Of
what is commonly called education and re-
ligion. AS a matter of fact, education is only
the knowledge gained through the demonstra-
tions of business, science and the arts, and
religion is only the essence or spiritual equa-
tion inspiring business, science and the arts
and living through them.
These two fundamentals, of which the dol
lar is the SYMBOL are, first, that all numbers
are variations of the number one, by which
the variations of unity may be comprehended
and related secondly, that the letters of all
alphabets are simply variations of the letter
l in order that speech may identify this or
the self with all the variations that appear
outside Of the self and that self externalizes
as other persons, objects and places
When place is beyond the range of immed-
late vision it begins to figure in our percep-
tion as time. Here again business advances
the vision of the race and actually demonstra-
tes what people are in the habit of thinking
OF as infnity and immortality.
You look at a silver dollar and you think
you see circle, but you are really looking
at an angle of wealth and it helps you vaguely
to conceive of the billions and trillions of
similar circles which are also angles of that
infinity of wealth which lies in boundless pro-
duction. Potentially always appears as
something that is going to be and therefore
figures as something in time, whereas the
truth is that a mental concept big enough
could recognize it all as something that is.
Vision in business merely recognizes this
potentiality as an accomplished fact and so,
with magical demonstration not only brings
cities with their great works within the range

WINDY DAYS ARE
BAD FOR PAPERS
Carriers Put Them Where They
Belong But Gusts Re-
move Them.

Sooner or later, all folks will have
their "bad days" Last Wednesday
was ''bad day" for the boys who de-
liver newspapers in Columbus. The
boys begin the delivery of both the
Columbus papers between five and six
o'clock on Wednesday and Sunday
mornings. Wednesday morning at that
time there was a strong wind blowing
from the east. The boys put the
papers where they were supposed 10
go, but many of them did not stay
"put."
At seven o'clock Wednesday morn
ing as the Dispatch editor walked
down College Street, a copy Of the
Commercial was blown up the street
and wrapped itself around his feet.
This was at the corner where the

MET THURS. NIGHT
Many Matters OF Importance
Came Up For Intelligent
Discussion.

[ An unusually interesting and sue
cessful meeting of the Board Of
Directors Of the Chamber of Com
morce was held at the office Of the
organization on last Thursday night.
All the officers and most Of the direc-
tors were present,
The matter Of organizing brass
band in Columbus was brought up
and discussed. The Chamber of Com
merce was put ON record as favoring
such an organization, and the details
are to be worked out in the near
future. 1t was stated that, during
the year 1921, approximately two
thousand dollars was spent by Col
umbus people for band music, and
nearly all of the money was taken
out Of town Were we to have a
band of our own, il would be at all
times available, and whatever sums II
received for furnishing music would
be kept at home
Columbus has a number Of men
who have at one time or another be-
longed to bands, and these, together
with whatever new material is re-
quired, will insure US "A good band by
the time the soft spring zephyrs be-
gin to stir the leaves on the trees.
The band is a good thing, and the
proposition should be encouraged.
At this meeting the Board of
Directors authorized an appropriation
of 500 to be used in making the
poultry show a success.
The Radius Committee made an
report, which showed 1
that that important branch of the /
chambers activities is functioning adj

which is composed of Mr., h. +. John

the proposition Of extending the
trade territory of Columbus fifty
miles in all directions This radius
goes north to ltawamba county, east
to Tuscaloosa county, west to Web
5ter and Choctaw counties, and north
to Kemper county. This territory, if
properly organized. advertised and Y
developed, will easily support city

Committee hopes to see Columbus

MIR. G. l.. DONALD, INTER
NAL REVENUE COLLEC-
TOR, ISSUES STATEMENT
CLEARS FEW POINTS
Complicated Matter Explained
In a Way That Should Make
II Understandable BY All
Parties Affected.

The following statement is issued
I. by Collector of Internal Revenue G..
l.. Donald, district Of Mis- issippi.
The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions,
which are the subject Of frequent in
qulry. The first relates to the per.
sonal exemptions allowed married per-
sons, and the second to the provision
requiring that return be made Of
gross income Of $4,000 or more.
/ The act provides that married
person, living with husband or wife.
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
or less shall be allowed personal ex-
emption Of $4,000. If the net income
Of such person was over $4,000 the ex-
emption is $4,000. Uuder the revenue
act Of 1918 the personal exemption all
lowed a married person was $4,000,
regardless Of the amount Of net in
come. The normal tax rate remains
unchanged, per cent ON the first S4.-
600 Of net income above the exemption
and per cent on the remaining net
income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess Of $4,000 shall not be subjected
to an inordinately isproportionate
tax because Of the reduction of the
exemption to $4,000 thereon, the law
provides that such reduction shall not
operate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption
were $4,000, by more than the amount
OF the net income in excess Of $4,000.
For example, on net income Of
5000, the tax, without this saving
clause, would be $1,000, which is 4
per cent on 5000, the amount Of net
income less the exemption of $1,000
The actual tax IS $1,000, computed
as follows: from the net income Of
5000 is deducted $500. leaving So
$40, the 4 per cent tax on which
amounts to $1,000. To this is added
$40, the amount Of net income in ex-
cess Of $4,000
The personal exemption allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of family, a person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
ion. gsRm
Heretofore, a person whose net in
'ome was less than his exemption
$1,000 II single or $1,000 if married.
vas not required to file a return. I'm
Ter the revenue act of 1921, if the
gross income Of an Individual equalled
n exceeded $1,000, or if the combined
yross income Of a married couple and
hat Of dependent minor children
qualled or exceeded $1,000, a return
must be filed, regardless of amount
# the net income.
NET income is gross income, less
ertain deductions. The fact that al.
owable deductions from gross in
ome' for business expenses, losses,
'ad debts, etc, may reduce the net
ncome to an amount below the per
onal exemptions Of $1,000 or $1,000.
oes not alter the requirement to file
return Of gross income, If such gross
ncome equalled or exceeded 5000.

SHOW OF POULTRY
LAST OF JANUARY
PREPARATIONS ARE NOW
REING MADE FOR INTER
STATE EXHIBIT
OLD SKATING RINK
Will BE Used To House Blue
Ribbon Birds.-IntereSt In
Exhibit Already Being
Manifested.

There will be lot of growing and
cackling and quacking in Columbus
the latter part of January, when the
Interstate Poultry Exhibition is to
occur in this city.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
January 26, 27 and %, have been set
apart for the holding of the poultry
show, which is to be an annual affair
from this time henceforth.
Under the able leadership of Mr..
]. r. Manser, secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and Mr.. John Will
liams, the county agent, the poultry
show gives promise of being a very
successful affair 1t is proposed to
offer valuable prizes to poultry raisers
in the Columbus territory, which
means this part of Mississippi and the
western section of Alabama. This
will. make it an interstate exhibition.
In addition to a show of hens,
roosters, ducks, geese and turkeys,
there will also be exhibited the latest
improvements in incubators and other
things that enter into the profitable
production Of poultry.
The show will be held in the build
ing formerly occupied by Mr.. Davis S
skating rink, opposite the Ellis Home
on Main Street. Nothing will be left
nd Iah
be spared in making the poultry ex
hibition interesting, instructive and
profitable.
In order to stimulate and promote !
the poultry industry in the Columbus
territory the Columbus Chamber of
Commerce is planning this big poultry
show and exposition.
The poultry show is but eontin- /
uation Of the policy of the Chamber
Of Commerce inaugurated the first Of
last year, to promote and develop
the raising of poultry in the Colum-
bus territory Last spring the or
ganization loaned 500 settings of eggs
to the people of the county with the
understanding that three birds or the
value of the eggs would be returned
to the Chamber of Commerce in the
fall.
These eggs and birds are beginning
to come in, and they will be placed on
exhibit at the poultry show. The
last day of the show a big auction
sale of poultry will be held. Stand
ard exhibit pens will be furnished by
the Chamber of Commerce to all ex-
hibtors, and the show will be made
an annual event.
In helping to develop the poultry
industry in this section, the Chamber
of Commerce is helpig to build up one
of the most profitable lines of work ,
to be found today in any part of the ,
country. 1t has been stated that pOul- i
of Missouri make as
much per annum from their poultry
and eggs as the planters of Missis-
sippi receive from their cotton. Such ,
being the case, it is possible to develop ,
poultry raising in Mississippi to a !
point where it will make the state a ?
great deal more prosperous than it is =
at the present time. {
Poultry raising, when pursued along i
modern and scientific lines, is "a prof. :
table and satisfactory business, and E
The exhibition to be given here the \
latter part of the month is calculated i
10 stimulate and encourage the in
iustry in this state. v

ZEAL LOVE TRIUMPHS IN
"HER HUSBANDS TRADEMARK

Audiences at the Casino theatre
next Tuesday and Wednesday will
learn with satisfaction just what con-
stitutes Her Husbans Trademark,
Gloria Swanaon's latest Paramount
vehicle, which will be the feature at
that theatre.
In this case, the husbands trade
mark is gorgeously dressed wife. The
husband is not wealthy, but hopes to
attain wealth by making show of
wealth. The plot thickens when a
friend of husband and wife, returns
after gaining both wealth and great
ness, falls in love with the wife, and
the husband. to promote his selfish
financial aims, rather encourages the
romance. The outgrowth of this sit
uation is a powerful climax showing
the establishment and after a thrill
ing encounter with bandits in old
Mexico, the scene of the friends oil
lands, the death of the cowardly hus-
band and the triumph of righteous
love.
Stuart Holmes plays the husband
" it'll all his old-time finesse, as a
sauve william, RichaEds Wayne por-
trays the friend and the other roles
are in the hands of Lucien Littlefield,
Clarence Burton, and Charles Ogle.
The production, directed by Sam
wood, is picturesque in theme, plot
and scenic beauty. Lorna Boon wrote
the scenario from the original photo
play by Clara Beranger.
