HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Saturday night, February at 8
o'clock, we rlay the Spring Valley
basketball team in the high school
gym. This is the second conference
game and the first conference game
held in our own gym. The boys have
won three consecutive games SO we
expect good game. They need the
support Of the towns people as well
as The students.
Last Friday night the basketball
team went to Prescott and played
their high school team. This was our
first conference game. Our boys put
up good fight and defeated them by
a score Of 1916.
The second semester has begun and
new classes are being organized. Six
new students have enrolled.
The musical program given Friday
night by the Junior High was decided
ly successful from the standpoint of
crowd, financial returns, and numbers
furnished by the pupils. Over $38 of
the $50 needed for the Junior High
section of the annual was raised and
each pupil taking part may feel a
just pride in this result.
Five new practice teachers are as
sisting in the Junior High this senles-
ter. Some of them have had consid-
cradle experience and good training
and are valuable addition to the
teaching force.

charge of the vocal music of the

High.

INCOME TAX FACTS

Changes in the revenue law are OF
material benefit to the average family
man. Under the revenue act of 1921
a married PERSON, living with wife or
husband, whose net income for 1921
was $4,000 or less, is allowed per-
sonal exemption of $1,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the exemption al
lowed married person was $4,000 re-
CARELESS of the amount of net in
come.
The normal tax rate is the same, 4
per cent on the first $4,000 Of net in
come above the exemptions, and s per
cent on the remaining net income.
Given his personal exemption of ST.
500, plus $500 for each dependent, a
married man with three children-the
average American family-will pay
this year on net income of $4,000 a
tax of $12. On the same income for
1921 he would have paid a tax of $50.
Every citizen and resident Of the
United States must determine for
himself whether his income for 1921
was sufficient to require that re-
turn be filed. Full instructions for
making out a return are contained on
the forms, copy of which will be
sent to taxpayers who filed a return
last year. Failure to receive a re-
turn, however, does not relieve a tax
payer of his obligation to file a return
on time, on or before March -. 1922.
Forms may be obtained from collect
ors of internal revenue and branch Of
fees.

have one of the best counties in the
state for dairying, natural alfalfa and

The average farm in Wisconsin
keeps flock of about 70 fowls. This
is much too small for efficient egg
production, says j. G. Halpin of the
Poultry Department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Every farm
should have at least so laying hens
and twice as many pullets from which
to select next years layers, in order
to make the flock pay. We do not
recommend flocks of more than 500
for the general farm or for the be-
ginner. The average flocks should be
sonehere between $50 and 500 fowls
for efficient egg production" Any
one wanting bulletins on culling and
feeding of poultry can get some at
the office by writing or ealing for
them.

Returns to Marion Forty
Years Later as

Forty years ago President
Harding came to Marion rid
ing a white mule.
He came back President of
the United States on Inde-
pendence Day to receive all
honors that an admiring
throng of $4,000 home folks
celebrating the centennial of
the city could give. And the
President was mighty glad he
came.
He digressed from his pre-
pared speech to tell the home
folks that he was almost a
pioneer of Marion and that he
rode into the city for the first
time from Caledonia. Ohio, on
the mule. The President ex-
planned that the mule was
too well known" in Caledonia
to sell 1t there when the
Hardings moved to Marion
and too valuable to give
away, So he had to ride 1t to
town.
