FEDERAL TAX
RETURNS REVEAL
BIG INCOMES

Washington.-Inco and corpora
ton tax reports for the year ending
December 81 show that there are 33
persons in this country who have a
yearly income of $1,000,000 or more.
There are four persons who have a
yearly income of S5,000,0 900 or more.
The profits in industry is indicated
by returns of 100 corporations which
report a clear income of $5,000,000
and over; S36 filed returns of from
81 100000 to S5,000,000; LAP from
100000 and 100000; 2,124 from
$250,000 to $500,000 5,497 from $780,
900 to $250,000; 1902 from $4,000
to 100000; 1894 from $4,000 to
$4,000; 27,615 from $1,000 to s10,-
900; 46,S6S from $4,000 to $1,000, and
75,9o5 reported net incomes to $4,000.
These profits are net--after every
cost and charge, including interest,
have been paid.
The number of individuals who
filed income tax returns were 1885,
ga. This is an increase over the pre-
vious year, but because of the tender
ness that congress has shown toward
! large incomes, the returns for last
year are less than for those Of 1919.

seen the aggregate of dividends high

And that ought to be of interest to
workers; and also to those who light

unions and fighting for an even break

THE POOR RoCKEFELLERs; AND

L he tiFloEClED NORM.
Standard Oil (of New York; has
declared stock dividend Of 200 per
cent.
This increases the capital from $751;
100000 to 100000.
There hasn't been a dollar of real
value added by this hokus but many
persons will have bigger bank ac-
counts because of it.
1t is a matter of bookkeeping.
The par value of the stock was re-
duced by the directors from $500 per
share to $25. At the same time, when
the announcement of the big melon
was made the stock jumped 20 points
on the stock exchange to a 500, a new
high mark. More bogus.
Back in 1913 stock dividend of
400 per cent was declared.
Like ponderous avalanche the
mountain of wealth moves on.

original Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey into thirty-three parts.
These parts were supposed to crawl
off by themselves to exc out a bare
existence in a cruel and competitive
world.
They have had a hard time getting
along. Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefeller
senior and junior, have been at the
verge of restitution. These crippled
factions of once mighty combination
have found it difficult to get all they
want in Persia, Mexico and othe,
parts of the world. They have had to
be most roundabout in grabbing the
naval oil reserves; and in general
they have just had to skimp and
scrape along. 1t is tough to be all cut
up that way!
But somehow the various little

THE WOMAN WHO DOES
HER OWN CANNING

an using the word canning in
It's obsolete sense and not in the way
in which IL is most used IN our gen
erztioa- The word as used nov means
TO attach a piece Of tinrare to some
thing or persons as a gentle hint that
you are through Eith them Used in
this say. Of course. every woman
does her Own canning. but the older
and now practically obsolete mean
ing Ezs 70 preserve fruit, vegetables
and other edfbles By cooking them
and putting them up in sir-tight re-
ceptzcles against the coming Of win
ter.
In ye ancient time every woman
who ran q house knew how to can
practically everything that grew. The
canning season started when the sour
cherries ripened early in July. and
in some homes IL made its advent
even earlier. for there we're early
strawberries and rhubsrb and blue
berries.
Those were the days when there
were burned fingers and a most de
tightful aroma around the house.
Each evening the kitchen table was
covered with a layer Of Mason jars
set there TO cool before being carried
to the cellar. and each evening every
member Of the family took occasion
to admire the results Of the days
work in drooling- -mouthed anticipation
Of the culinary joys reserved for next
winter. They were vouchsafed Ger
tain fore-gleams Of this JOY, however.
for no batch Of canning was ever
known TO come out exactly even, and
unless the jar was completely filed
the contents would spoil. and so
what vas left was put on the table
for immediate consumption and ap-
praised by the family.
Those were the days when there
was certain sketchiness about the
evening meal and an unmistakable
redness about mothers face, which
she had acquired by bending over
the kitchen range, and shortness
to her temper, which was caused by
a combination of heat. tiredness, sore
feet and burned fingers.
Those were the days when the
growing hoard Of jars in the caller
was an evidence Of housewifely thrift,
foresight and skill. and when all Wo-
men in the neighborhood Wed with
one another as TO the variety and
amount Of things which they put up.
There was an interchange and ex-
change OF receipts. although there
were shrewd suspicious upon the part
of some OF the women that Mrs
Smith or Mrs. Jones did not always
tell exactly how she made her mixed
pickle" for others had followed her
receipt with meticulous care, only to
find that their results were not like
hers.
Where, oh, where, are those old
canning days. and what has become
OF the woman who does her own can
ming? Nowadays we go to the phone,
order a dozen cans OF corn. peas or
what-not. and. 10. the sole survival OF
canning skill in the home is the abil-
