his connection with the service. This
case was rated and compensation and
vocational training allowed, in less
than a month after the claim had
been filed, and the man is now re-
ceiving hospital treatment.
Another typical case was that of
veteran who was employed as a tel
egraph operator by railroad COM
pany. While with the American Ex-
peditionary forces in France, he was
gassed and his eyes were affected as
a result. Because Of his condition it
was impossible for him to do effic-
lent work, and it was only because OF
the kindness of his employers and
their realization of the fact that he
had wife and two children depend
ent upon him for support that he was
kept. His case was finally brought
to the attention of representatives
of the bureau, and he is now receiv-
ing compensation and vocational
training.
The number of cases filed, in which
there is an apparent desire upon the
part of the claimant, to get some
thing that he is not entitled to, are
few and far between. AS a general
rule, the former service man is as
loyal to his government now as he
was during the war, and only wants
what he is Untitled to.

weather. If preferred, stamped en-

carrier. If necessary to put money

Assist the Rural Carriers
and Improve Mail Service
Federal Government Has Inspected
Conditions of Roads and Other
Conditions Along Routes

Postmasters have recently made an
inspection of the rural routes from
their offices by direction of the Post
office department. The purpose was
that they might ascertain by per-
sonal observation and make report
whether the roads used were in good
condition for travel, the routes well
arranged, boxes properly erected, SO
an to be easily reached by the car
riers without difficulty and without
obstructing travel, the carriers serv-
ing their routes as officially pre-
scribed, the schedule observed, and
whether the families served were
satisfied with the service rendered,
or there were improvements which
could be suggested in the interest of
the patrons or the department. 1t
became necessary, in connection with
the inspections, to request many pa
irons to take action to the end that
their boxes might conform with the
regulations as to kind, condition, To-
cation, or height, and in having the
name of the owner plainly printed on
them. Also, to bring to the atten-
ton of road overseers or other re
sponsible persons tha need for i'm
provement in roads or repair or con-
struction Of culverts or bridges. 1t
is the desire Of the Department, and
it's purpose, to provide adequate and
convenient service, so far as may be
possible, to all persons residing in
rural communities, but this end can
not be attained without the full Co
operation of the patrons in the eff
forts of postmasters and carriers to
serve them promptly, regularly and
satisfactorily. Whatever facilities

Gross Income Explained By
Federal Collector Willcuts
Official Interpretation Placed Upon
Several Phases of the Tax Law
By Authorities

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the proper interpre-
tation 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
return regardless Of his or her net
income.
Gross income means statutory
gross income, defined by the revenue
act to include "gains, profits and in
come derived from salaries, wages,
compensation for personal service
of whatever KIND and form par, or
from professions, vocations, trades.

ship or use of or interest in such
property; also from interest, rent
dividends, securities or the transac-
ton of any business carried on Tor
gain or profit or gains or profits .nj
income derived from any source
whatever"
Gross income does not necessarily
mean gross receipts. A merchant,
for instance, in computing statutory
gross income, should dedilet there
from the cost If goods SD /. For ex-

receipts amounting to $4,000, but

would be $500. No return of IL come

u. S. Grain Growers
In District Conventions
Meetings This Week at Hallock,
Mar hall and Sleepy Eye Name
Delegates to Conference

Members of the u S. Grair
Growers, Inc, are meeting in three
congressional district conventions
this week to name delegates to at
tend the CO operative marketing as
sociation's annual convention at Chi
cago, March Fl. Authorized repre-
sentatives Of members around each
shipping point where organization
work has been carried on were elect
ed to attend these district meetings
at local gatherings, held Feb. z. The
first congressional district meeting
was at Hallock on Monday, the sec.
ond was scheduled for Marshall
Thursday and the third for Sleepy
Eye on Friday.
Reports from unit meetings last
week indicate unusual fidelity on the
part of members, j.. S. Jones, or
ganization director, said. In sever
al instances, special committees
were appointed to take member,
ships from farmers who did not joir
at the solicitors were in the To-
cality.
During the week, approximately
so congressional district meetings
were to be held in IL states. One
delegate from each votes the full
membership strength of the organi
zation in that locality, at the nation

Federal Veterans Bureau
Is Doing Splendid Work
Many Worthy Service Men Are Ex-
amined Each Month for VOca-
~ tiOnal Training

Since the. Inauguration of the cam
paign by representatives of the Vet
Grams Bureau to get in contact with
all former service men and women
who are suffering with some disabil-
ity incurred in, or aggravated by
their connection with the service APP
proximately six thousand new cases
have been filed by residents of the
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana.
Three years have passed since the
signing of the Armistice, and the
impression exists in some quarters
that the class of men making claims
against the government at this time
are thone who have heard from 9TH
ers of the work that the government
is doing in the way of rehabilitation,
but who have no just claim for con-
sideration.
A majority of the claims now be-
ing filed with the bureau are worthy
of consideration. The men who are
now asking for vocational training
and compensation are those who have
hung back, either because of their
modesty or because they felt that to
ask fer anything might be construed
as making themselves objects of
charity. Most of these men were ac-
tually in the front line trenches in
France where they were gassed, re-
ceived gun shot wounds, were shell
shocked, or had Influenza; and since
their return home, although desti-
tute, broken in health and unable to
work, have been struggling in an eff
fort to exist without making an ap-
peal to the government.
The only way that the veterans
bureau is appraised of large ma
jority of these cases, is because of
the interest displayed by friends ap-
pealing in behalf Of individuals of
their acquaintance
A recent case brought to the at
tention of the bureau was that of a
former service man who was gassed
and shell shocked in the Argonne.
This man was brought in by a friend,
given a physical examination which
revealed that he was suffering from
mental trouble developing because Of
