TURKEYS YIELD GOOD

Woman Substitutes Purebreds

Despite Heavy Losses to Flock, Due
to Conditions That Might Not oe-

$1,525 Is Made.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A return of $1,525 from turkeys in
two seasons was obtained by an Ok
lahoma woman in spite of heavy losses
in her flock, due to conditions that
might not occur elsewhere. The
Greer county extension agent con-
WINGED her that it would pay
to follow the advice of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the state agricultural college
and substitute purebreds for her scrub
stock. He also gave her information
or the management of her flock.
She started with 10 hens and l
tom of the Mammoth Bronze variety.
From these she raised 122 young tur-

HOW TO LISTEN In

There are two variables in our radio
receiver that require adjustment
when it is desired to listen-in; first,
the detector, and second. the slide po-
sition on the tuner. Once the slider
position has been determined for any
given transmitting station, it is only
necessary to adjust the detector to
pick up that same station again.
To operate the receiver for the first
time it is best to wait until some
station like KDKA is transmitting be.

hail storm. The rest she sold as
breeders, advertising them in a farm
journal. They netted her 5000, or an
average of $3.50 each.
This year she started with the same
number of breeders and obtained AS
young poults. Unfortunately one of
the farm hogs was fond of turkey,
and destroyed all but 81 of the flock
before the depredations were traced to
him. At about $12 apiece, however,
the remaining 81 brought 1925.

20 Per Cent Highest For Rent

A general average Of 25 per cent of
the family income should be used for
food and 20 per cent for clothing, ev-
en- with the income up to $3.50 a
month, the writer says. Rent stands
at Is per cen for the 800 a month
income but is increased to 20 per cent
of the total for all other incomes.
The author then says;
Some provision FOR savings Is uryE
ed, even with the lowest income, for
the habit of saving should be develop
ed from the very first. The savings,
as proposed in these budgets are 5 per
cent for a SIS a month income and in
crease about l per cent per month
until the income reaches 1926 per
month, when it is suggested that the
same percentage be tried until the
income reaches 5000 per month. AT
$3.50 per month, the savings are placed
at 10 per cent. The amount of saw
ings thus is increased with the increas
ed income.
Insurance A Necessity
1.-THE insurance item in the budget
is considered a real necessity. 1t is
actually an addition to the savings,
at least for the amount of the cash
surrender or loan value each year.
This amount increases with every ad-
ditional premium paid. Insurance is
set at z or 8 per cent.
Provision is made FOR health,
amusement and charity. All those
things should be carefully considered
and some place provided for them In
every family budget, with 212 or 3
per cent of the income set aside.
Education is separately provided
for, because every family should have
matter. When there are children, 1t
is ALWAYS necessary to supply play
things. books, encyclopedias and other
items of an educational nature.
Fuel, water and light are shown
apart from the rem budget. II is
often advisable to keep comparative
records for these items and each
should be provided for monthly. In
the summer months ice will replace
fuel, for ice is a summer necessity in
most sections of the country. These
items stand at three per cent for in
comes over 800.
THE miscellaneous budget is to
take care of extra items which are
bound to occur in every household,
such as laundry, household help, tele-
phone. additions to furniture or re-
pair of furniture, new light bulbs,
Wight mantels, occasional plumbing re-
pairs and supplies of various kinds.
This item is decreased in percentage
but the amount allowed will not be
materially decreased as the income
becomes larger.

INCOME fan G.

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the proper interpret
alton of Section 223 of the Revenue
Act of 1921, which provides that each
individual whose gross income for
1921 was $4,000 or over shall file a re-
turn regardless of his or her net in
come.
Gross income ear statutory gross
income, defined by the salaries. wages
or compensation for personal service
. Q 81 whatever kind and in
whatever form paid, or from profes-
sions, vocations, trades; business, com
merce or sales or dealings in proper
ty, whether real or personal, growing
out of the ownership or use of or in
terest in such property; also from in
terest, rent, dividends, securities or
the transactions of any business car
ried on for gain or profit or gains or
profits and income derived from any
source whatever"
Gross income does not necessarily
mean gross receipts. A merchant, for
instance. in computing statutory gross
income, should deduct therefrom the
cost of goods sold. For example, a
merchant may have gross receipts
amounting to $4,000, but the cost OF
goods sold amounts to $1,000. He has
no other income. The statutory gross
income would be $4,000. In case the
other deductions allowed him for bust.
ness expenses, taxea interest, bad
debts, etc, mount to $4,000, his ne:
income would be $500. No return OF
income is required in this case.
A lawyer who is married and living
with his wife has gross receipts in
the form of fees amounting TO $4,000
and his necessary business expenses
amount to $4,000, leaving a net income
of only $1,000. A return will be re-
quired in this case, as taxpayers gross
income as well as gross receipts IL
$4,000.

Bankers Say State Has
Passed Financial Crisis

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 19.-Representa-
tive bankers of the state banks OF
South Dakota gathered from every
district of the state in Pierre last
week in answer to the call of the state
bank examiner, John Hirning.
The sessions held during the snow
storm that covered the state, were
busy ones and a great deal of
important business of interest to the
banker was transacted.
The conference, one of general bust
ness, took up the topics of interest
rate and taxation especially. c. NJ.
Henry Of the rural credits board ad-
dressed the gathering as did the gov
ernor, w. II. McMaster, at the OPEN
ing Of the meeting.
Three members of the depositors
guaranty commission met with the
bankers contributing largely to the
program Of the conference.
The Aberdeen representative to the
conference, ID. H.. Lightner of the Citi-
zens Trust and Savings bank brings
back reports of optimism from every
section of the state for the coming
year. II was the concensus of opinion
OF the bankers there that the state
had passed its worst stage in the fn-
ancial crisis and with the liquidation
OF some accounts and an increase of
deposits, the feeling of optimism has
a sound backing from the standpoint
OF the banker.

THE VALUE IN US

II Is worth while to consider and
discern what there Is about US that
has any value. 1t is natural to think
there is special value in us just be-
cause we are we. But | am convinced
such is not the case. Fundamental
constituency has no special value.
The elements of our bodies are OF no
more value than the elements of the
ground. They ara exactly the same
and so are really of small worth be-
cause there is such an abundance or
them. The same is the case with the
vital part of us. Life in US in general
is the same life that is to be found in
all sentient creation. And so as life
why Is II more valuable in us than In
any other part of the living world.
But II we have a life different from
that which is displayed elsewhere OF
course IL has a different valuation. II
that added life is divine then 1t has
the same value as all divine life.
1t is special talents, special powers
special e~volyements, special develop
ments that count. Characteristic at
tributes are the things that give US
extra worth. That in mind that is
over and above matter Is that which
makes mind to have the prominence.
1t is the talented person that Is OF
the most worth. Perhaps that talent
is merely the ability to plod harder
than the other person.
Then how important it is to pre-
serve whatever good popularity we
have. Not only to preserve 1t, but de-
velop 1t is our duty. For we owe II
at least to ourselves to become more
valuable. We are under obligation to
increment. And there is a startling
incentive to preservation n increase

world in health. The invitiable life
Is the one that will keep all humanity

OF course the life of Christ. I'm whom
is no spot nor wrinkle"
There is something else that thls
life can do and does do. Life is In its
corruption a weary and an incipid
thing. The reasoning of worldliness
Is in a vicious circle. There Is moth
ing like the outreach OF the life OF
Christ to give to a person variety and
spice. II makes the life worth living.
And now as to the other need OF hu-
