GET YOUR INCOME TAX
FIGURES ALL IN ORDER
Have Them Ready to Fill Out
Blanks Without Trouble

Blanks Without Trouble
Filling out the income tax blank
the annual ordeal Of farmers may
be reduced to a few hours work If
an accurate farm account book is
used, says I. N. Chapman, farm
management demonstration at the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Mr.. Chapman recommends partic-
ularly the farm account book dis
tributed by the extension service
Of the college. This book is SO
arranged that, II carefully kept,
the income tax blank may be filed
out by merely transferring the
totals. The book is recommended
by the bureau Of internal revenue
of the United Staes department
Of agriculture. 1t may be obtain
ed on request.
Mr.. Chapman offers the follow
ing suggestions for filling out the
1922 income tax returns:
1. If you have kept an account
book take it with your tax blank
to the county agent or banker for
any necessary assistance. II you
have no account book list careful
ly your receipts and expenses be-
fore getting the help suggested.
Personal and household expenses
should not be included.
2. If you have purchased live
stock during the year and have
since sold it, show this transaction
with your loss and gain
on form 1O4OF.
8. In figuring depreciation on
buildings or stock, the percentage
should be estimated from the life
of the article. For instance, IL
farm building was built in 1912,
at a cost of $1,000, and. its life
should be 20 years, it's per cent
Of depreciation would be 8 and its
present value, $3.50. But IL this
year repairs costing $3.50 were
made on the bdkding, its value
would be increased to $1,000. If
It's length of life were increased,
the basis Of repdeciation from now
on would be one fifteenth or six
and two thirds per cent Of ST.
900.
Care should be used in figuring
for in case of error,
the taxpayer is called before a de-
putty commissioner and an explain
alton, always difficult to give, de-
f.. Check over items carefully
TO see that none is omitted and
hat the totals are correct. =

Judge Scores Farce of Placard Case
When the State Refuses to Try 1t

pathy with the labor unions In
posting the placard that he might
afterward consistently advise the
strikers to cease use of the pla-
cards, and thereby minimize their
efforts. In short, rumor declared,
that the suit enabled White to
pretend sympathy and then be-
tray the strikers. Equally false,
Of course, but nevertheless a pre-
valent belief.
Courts should not be used for
other purposes than the admins
tratiOn of justice and when ru-
mOrs of this kind are so prevalent
and persistent as to indicate pub
lie belief, 1t is only fair and
proper that a public trial should
be had and false impressions re-
moved. Otherwise the laity will
believe that courts may be used
to crafty any whim or purpose
that may be conceived whether
justified or not"

kept listening out of one ear for

why Billy never goes sound

Beulah Brown, who lives at
507 North Broadway, has a pet
bird which she loves very much
and this is what she says about
him:
Il have little German Roller
that is yellow with a brown back,
and sings very prettily. At night
he sleeps in his swing and swings
every minute. Once in a while
when he swings very fast he will
fall out and then is afraid to get
back for a few nights but he fin
ally goes to 1t again and swings
as fast as ever. He likes his water
changed a couple Of times a day.
When it gets a little stale he goes
down to 1t as though he were GO
ing to drink but does not and in
Stead he calls in different way
from other times and | think
when he does that he is calling
me to come and give him more
water"
Clara Hout who lives at 615
Northwest Fourth street. has a
parrot named Bessie which she
thinks Is one of the finest pets
any little girl ever had. Bessie is
red and green and yellow, the
color of the trees and one day she
got out of her cage and flew up in
a tree, perhaps to see how well
her feathers matched the leaves.
And what do you think? Her pref
ty feathered coat matched the
color of the tree so well that It
was a long time before her little
mistress could see her at all. But
Bessie couldn't hide long for, like
some people, she couldn't keep
still long and Of course as soon as
she began talking it was easy to
find her. Parrots, you know talk |
just as people do and many times |
say very smart things. Bessie |
does and she loves to tease Clara's
puppy who doesn't quite under
stand a bird which can talk Just J
like his mistress does. Bessie
