 1921 has passed, and we have with us 1922. The writer hopes to make the district in which she lives betteH by her living. Her belief is that every one should be concernd in the welfare and betterment of the chief things in the community in which he lives, and work to that end. There fore 1 have resolved to do my best for the betterment of conditions so that ] may not feel when l leave the community that l have Jeff it worse for my sojourn.
 Friday morning, January 6, 1922, brought the residents of this district a great surprise. The news filtered out that one of our young couples had stolen march on us and were married the day before. Jack Chap man and Miss Grace HoIbrook were married by the brides father, the Rev. Ira Holbrook. Friday evening the Rev. and Mrs. Holbrook left for Ok lahoma, ledying the bride and groom to keep house. They will be away for three weeks, while the bride and groom will be making plans for the future.
 The 5. 1. A. will meet hereafter at the home of the president, Mrs. Un- derwood, as Mr. Underwood will be away part of the time, and she will not be able to leave home.
 Chas. Nelson Is still in a very bad condition from the fall from his roof. His back is very bad, and his foot is only slightly better His leg is very badly swollen and 1t will be some time before he is able to be out much, and he will not be able to work for some time to come.
 Mrs. Frank H. Dodge, County Sup erintendent of Schools, visited our school last Thursday, bringing with her Miss Terrence, school nurse, to examine the pupils. She also brought Mrs. Crow, superintendent of Moth CTS Pensions, to see Mrs. Swanson preparatory to giving her pension.
 Our first one-third of school sub- scription will fall due February l, We hope those that subscribed will be prompt in paying same, so that our school may go on without any hind rance. We feel that all who sub- scribed will not fail us in our need.
 Our men started on the road again Monday, the 9th. They have mile of very bad road to make good, but our men are the ones who can do it right.

NEW PROVISIONS
 OF REVENUE ACT
PERSONAL EXEMPTION IS IN. CREASED AND RETURNS ARE REQUIRED OF ALL PERSONS WITH MORE THAN 5000 GROSS INCOME.


 The following statement is issued by H. L. Remmel, Collector of In. ternal Revenue for the District of Arkansas, Little Rohk, Arkansas:
 The Revenue Act of 1921 contains two new and important provisions, which are the subject of frequent in, quiry. The first relates to the per sonal exemptions allowed married persons, and the second to the pro. vision requiring that a return be made of gross income of $5,000 or more.
 The Act provides that married person, living with husband or wife, whose net income for 1921 was $5,- GOO or less shall be allowed a per sonal exemption of $2,5O0. If the net income of such person was over 5000 the exemption is $2,000. Un- der the Avenue Act of 1918 the per sonal exmption allowed a married person was S2,000, regardless of the amount of net income. The normal tax rate remains unchanged, 1 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net income.
 In order that an income slightly in excess of $5,000 shall not be sub- iected to an inordinately dispropor- tionate tax because of the reduction of the exemption to $2,000 thereon, the law provides that such reduction shall not operate to increase the tax, which would be payable if the ex- emption were $2,500, by more than the amount of the net income in ex- cess of $5,000.
 For example, on a net income of $5,0l0, the tax, without this saving clause, would be $120.40, which is 4 per cent on $3,0l0, the amount of net income less an exemption of $2,000. The actual tax is Sll040, computed as follows: from the net income of $5,0l0 is deducted $2,500, leaving $2,5l0, the 4 per cent tax on which amounts to $l00.40. To this is added $l0, the amount of net in- come in excess of $5,000"
 The personal exemptions allowed married persons, apply also to the head of family, person who sup ports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage or adop- ton.
 Heretofore, a person whose net in- come was less than his exemption (Sl,000 if single, or $2,000 if mar ried) was not required to file re- turn. Under the Revenue Act of 1921 if the gross income of an individual equalled or exceeded $5,000, or if the combined gross income of mar ried couple and that of dependent minor children equalled or exceeded $5,000, a return must be filed, re- gardless of the amount of net income.
 Net income" is gross income, less certain deductions. The fact that al- lowable deductions from gross in- come, for business expenses, losses, bad debts, etc., may reduce the net income to an amount below the per sonaI exemptions of ,$l,O00 or $2,- 900, does not alter the requirement to file return of gross income, if such gross income equalled or ex- ceeded $5,000.

 line That will grow these berries so large
 and fine, And if these berries had been culti-
 vated, They would have grown so large they
 couldn't be crated. But we are in hopes that we may
 learn later To grow strawberries as large as to-
 matoes.

VACUUM TUBE USED
AS RADIO DETECTOR
How This Device Depends on
Emission and Control of
EIectrons for Its Operation.

Readers of the radio column are
urged to clip each article and paste
1t in a file book. The articles print
cd are continuous and the entire
series WiH be valuable for reference.
The greatest advances made in the
past few years In the radio art have
been due In one way or another to
the use of vacuum tubes. In view of
this fact more careful consideration
of them will be of interest.
All of these tubes, known by va
rIety of names, such as radiotron, au-
dion. seriotron ttrade names Of the
manufacturer) depend upon the same
fundamental principles for their OPP
GRAFTON. For the sake of simplicity
of brevity these will be referred to In
this column simply as vacuum tubes.
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
tion as detector, as an amplifer, or
as an oscillator.
The vacuum tube depends on the
emission and control of electrons for
It's operation The electron Is the
smallest subdivision of matter which
mankind recognizes and 1t carries the
smallest known charge of negative
electricity. For years previous to
electron research it had been held by
scientists that matter was built up of
distinct particles or units which they
called atoms and molecules. At first
the molecule was assumed to be the
smallest quantity of matter that could
have a separate existence or take
part in chemical action, but more Wig
orous research pointed to the fact that
the molecule Is made up of still small
er elements which are termed atoms |;
that is, molecule may be composed
of several atoms. Then for time it
was assumed that the atom was the
very smallest quantity Of an element
that could exist, but later researches
have revealed that atoms may be
further subdivided into particles

years to clean up the barberry bushes
In the IS states In the middle west
where they are most effective in
spreading spores which cause black
stem rust In wheat and entail losses
averaging more than 125,0o0,ooo
bushels a year. The present federal
appropriation is S14T,00O, but If it is
Increased TO $4,000 annually for the
next three or four years the barberry
can be sufficiently controlled or even
possibly eradicated in these states.

LITTLE TALK ABOUT
AGRICULTURAL BLOC
Senator Kenyon Says Legislators

BY SENATOR W. 5. KENYON

The agrarlan bloc, su-called. came
into existence In quiet and unobsery-
ing manner, and although unnamed
made a considerable study OF farm
ers' problems before 1t gained any
notoriety.
We thought that there was no par
ticular harm. we senators from the
West and from the South, In talking
over agricultural conditions. We had
nothing against any other business In
the country; we were representing ag-
nculture merely. We were not doing
anything against any other industries.
The secretary Of agriculture and the
secretary of commerce talked TO us
one night, and at various times we
listened to talks by economists. and
we had MFR. Hoover come and talk 20
us on world conditions.

terrible thing TO do, until somebody

ed Dy battery current and 1t Is this
neat furnished by the battery current
that constitutes the force that dis
rupts the atoms of the flament and
liberates electrons.
Fig. Ill Is spherical glass bulb
from which all the air and gases have
been exhausted and having mounted In

TO incandescence by the "a" battery
connected to IT, and the metallic plate
Z. When the filament CD is heated
to tncandescence by the az battery
connected across It's terminals cleo
irons are emitted. Connecting the
cold plate 4 to the incandescent fla

F-G-H which includes a current meter
and "B" battery, with its negative
side connected to the filament lead
at FL and Its positive side connected
through the current meter, the plate
becomes electrically positive with re-
spect to the filament.
Since like charges repel and unlike
charges attract, there will be move
ment of electrons from the filament
to the positively charged plate, and
the current meter will show a defec-
ton which indicates that a current is
flowing in the circuit E-F-G-H.
Increasing the "B" battery voltage
causes an increase in the current
flowing In the circuit E-F-G-H, the
plate circuit, until the positive charge
on the plate e is SO strong that all

they take you to task they say you are
a Bolshevik. That is the way TO set
tie it. A Bolsheyik is the fellow who
don't agree with you.
If the group of senators who are
taking the interests of farmers to
heart are an agricultural bloc, what
about the other blocs? II bloc is to
be condemned simply because 1t is a
bloc then all the other blOcs are JUS
as bad as the agricultural group. The
social bloc has done more than any
thing else to influence legislation in
Washington.
Men have gone to Washington in
tending to do what was right and
have become so entangled in the social
bloc that they completely forgot the
folks back home. And that is just
what the members of the agricultural
bloc are trying to avoid. They had
the interests of their constituents at
heart If any group of legislators ever
did.
The biggest accomplishment of the
agrarian bloc for the benefit Of the
farmer was the amendment Of the
war finance commission act under
which already S60,o0O,o00 had been
distributed for the benefits of agricul,
ture, indirectly but nevertheless bene-
fcialiy. This distribution has been at
the rate of s1,000.OO0 day.
Agriculture would not have had that
assistance had the block not func.
toned.

called electrons. The apparent mass
of an electron is about one-eighteen-
hundreth part of that of an atom of
hydrogen which is the smallest of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
an atom consists of definite num-
Der of electrons grouped around a
nucleus having positive charge and
SO long as none of the component
electrons are driven from the atom,
the latter possess no detachable charge.
The positive charge on the nucleus Is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
negative charges on the electrons
grouped about it.
Suppose now that by some means
an electron can be detached from the
atom. Then the atom becomes what
is known as a positive ion and 1t ex-
hibits the properties of positively
charged body, or In other words since
an electron which carries negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion of the
atom now remaining has a deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other hand If some force can
be brought to bear that will add an
electron to a normal atom which Is
neutral as far as electrical charges
are measured, the result viii be a ne
gative ion, which win possess all the
properties Of negatively charged
body. An atom then which has
deficiency of electrons is called a pos
five ion and one having excess OF
electrons is called negative ion.
Since each electron carries ne
gatiye charge of electricity an cleo
iron represents a. certain quantity OF
electricity. Forcing electrons to move
from one point to another causes
electricity to flow. The ability of any
medium to conduct electricity or allow
a current to flow through 1t depends
upon the number of, free electrons
available as carriers of charges.
II has been known for many years
that the space surrounding piece OF
heated metal Is a conductor OF
electricity. 1t has been demonstrate
ed more recently that this is due TO the
release of electrons and that II an
incandescent metal be placed in a
bulb exhausted of all gases, pure cleo
irons will be liberated from the in
candeseent metal.
In a vacuum tube such as we are
using at the present time, the piece
OF metal used to furnish the electrons
is called the filament and Is usually
made of tungsten and sometimes Is
coated with oxides to increase the
electron emission. For convenience
the filament of vacuum tube Is heat
