Making of Radio Station ex'
planned in Bulletins.

Two circulars on wireless telegra-
ply and telephony have been prepar-
ed for public distribution by the men
in charge of the radio station in the
department of physics of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
One bulletin is elementary, for be-
ginners who wish to understand the
primary principles of radio operation
and to get information on the prices
of radio receiving sets. The other
circular is for more advanced stud
ents of the subject who seek more
technical descriptions of the appara-
tus, and fuller explanation of the
university radio station.
Both circulars are free, and may
be had upon application to Malcolm
P. Hanson, chief operator in charge
of the station at the university.

Grow SOybeans.

Shortage in other legume hay
crops coupled with the low price of
soybean seed to the farmer points to-
ward a large acreage for the coming
year." is the statement of George
Briggs of the Agricultural extension
service of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
The proportion of legume hay to
other hay crops is smaller this sea-
son than it has been for many years
due to the dry summer. This points
to a shortage in the central Wiscon-
sin good potato soil for 1922 because
heretofore the clover and alfalfa sod
has furnished the green manure.
Mr. Briggs pointed out that soybeans
have been tried on every type of Wis
consin soil with excellent results,
that the hay and silage have proved
equal to that of other legumes, and
that the crop makes a good green
manure when turned under. Unlike
clover and alfalfa the soybean is an
annual plant and will mature in the
season in which it is planted.

Waukesha County HOlstein
Breeders Meet.

Two hundred and fifty people,
Holstein breeders, their families and
friends, attended the fifteenth an,
nual meeting of the Waukesha asso-
citation on January Goth. These peo-
pie, the interest they have in their
association, and their willingness to
serve it are the underlying reason for
it's success, and have made it proDs&s-
bly, the best known county breeders
association in the country. In 1921,
a year admittedly poor for business
the association sold over 100000
worth of cattle for it's members in ad-
dition to $79,120 worth sold in pub
lie sales. The cattle were sold to six
teen states and Canada, Iowa being
the heaviest buyer.

Income Tax Facts.

In making out his income tax re-
turn for 1921, the average taxpayer
will find a considerable saving in
comparison with the amount of tax
paid on the same income for 1920.
The exemptions provided by the
revenue act of 1921 are $1,000 for
single persons (the term including
widows, widowers, divorces, and
persons separated from husband and
wife by mutual agreement), $4,000
for married persons whose net in
come was $4,000 or less, and $4,000
for married persons whose net in
come was $4,000 or more. Under
the revenue act of 1918 the personal
exemption allowed a married person
was $4,000, regardless of the amount
of net income. The personal exemp-
ton allowed a married person applies
also to the head of a family, man or
woman who supports in one house
hold one or more relatives by blood,
marriage, or adoption.
The exemption for Dependents
person who receives his chief support
from the taxpayer and who is under
18 years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physlc-
ally detectives increased from
$500 to $400.
The act requires that return be
filed by every single person whose net
income for 1921 was $1,000 or more,
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more, and by
every person-single or married.
whose gross income was $4,000 or
more.
The requirement to file a return of
gross income of $4,000 or more re-
gardless of net income is a. new pro-
vision Net income is gross income
less certain specified deductions for
business expenses, losses, bad debts,
ETC., which are fully explained on the
forms.
Returns must be filed by married
couples whose combined net income
for 1921, including that of dependent
minor children, equaled or exceeded
! $4,000, or if the combined gross in
| come equaled or exceeded $4,000.
The period for filing returns is
from January 1 to March Is, 1922
Heavy penalties are provided for fail
ure or "willful refusal" to file a re-
turn on time.
Forms 104OA for incomes of $4,000
and less and 1040 for incomes in ex
cess of $4,000 may be obtained from
| the offices of collectors of internal
revenue and branch offices. The tax
may be paid in full at the time OF
filing the return, or in four equal in
stallments, due on or before March
Is, June Is, September Is, and De-
cember Is.

PARLEY CARRIES OUT
u. S. WARSHIP PLAN
Shantuno and Other Eastern Agree
ments Are Ratified by the
Arms Conference.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The arma-
ments conference wiped clean the
naval limitation half of it's slate and
made considerable headway in clear
ing up the Far Eastern side at its
fifth plenary session.
The cleanup leaves only two mat
ters of Importance to be settled be-
fore the Far Eastern phase OF the
conference is completed and the
treaties embodying results there ready
for submission at plenary session.
+ The plenary session approved:
The naval treaty between the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.
| A second treaty between the same
powers abolishing poison gas in war
fare and outlawing submarine at
ttackS on merchant vessels.
The settlement of the Shantung
Issue between China and Japan.
Secretary of State Hughes pre-
sented the naval treaty. When 1t
had been read the secretary said
that while it was necessary for the
powers to ratify it through their con-
stitutional agencies before it could
Become effective, he thought it we'll
for the conference to express its ap.
prevail He called the roll, there was
no dissenting voice, and it was ap-
proved.
'This treaty ends-it absolutely
ends-the race in competitive naval
armament" said Secretary Hughes.
I'm it we are taking the greatest for
ward step in history toward the reign
Of peace. It is perhaps the most
important international undertaking
ever completed. It Is important be.
cause it means we no longer talk
about limiting armament-we are do
ing it by this treaty.
"While there have been some
changes in the original proposal,
am glad to say that the spirit Of the
American plan remains unimpaired."

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
No More "Olie" for Iowa County

Read the following report from
Rochester, N. Y, then ask your wife
if you can afford to cheat your chill
dren by giving them oleo.
''In the city of Rochester, there is
an orphan asylum where the practice
has been followed for years of weigh
ing every child at regular intervals.
The usual diet had been furnished
the children, because of the high
prices of butter, the management de-
cided to try oleo. This took place on
Jan. 1, 1917, and followed for six
months
AT the end of this time, the re-
ter was again used. In this way the
institution has the complete record
of the weight of children over per-
iod of two years. This has been di-
vided into four six months periods.
Here is the result:
"'The first six months, while but
ter was fed, these seven children
gained 23.75 pounds. For the next
six months, while butter was still
being fed, the seven children gained
44.25 pounds. For the next six
months these seven children were
fed oleo in place of butter, every
thing else in the diet being the same.
The result was loss of 9.5 pounds.
''The management then saw what
oleo was doing for the children and
went back to butter with the result
that in the following six months, the
children made a gain of 56.87
pounds"
''This official report from the city
of Rochester is the strongest indict-
ment of oleomargine we have so far
seen.
1--WE are trying to drive oleomar-
garine out of Iowa county. Will you
do your part?" A SUBSCRIBER.
