 with him by blood relationship, rela- tionship by marriage or by adop- tion" is allowed the same exemp- tion as a married person.
 In the returns of married per sons must be included the net in- come Of both husband and wife and dependent minor children. Husband and wife may make a joint return or separate returns. They receive but one personal exemption, S2,500 or $2,000 as the case may be. If they make separate returns the exemptions may be taken by either or divided between them. The ex- emption of $400 for a dependent may be claimed only by the one who furnishes the dependents chief support, '
 . The taxpayers status on the last day of the taxable year-December 31, 1922 if made on the calendar year basis-determine the amount of his exemptions and credits. If married and living with wife or husband on that day the exemption is $2,500 or $2,000, according to the amount of net income. If single and without dependents on that day he may claim but $1,000 as his exemption, even though he may, have been married or the head of family during the greater part of the year. Widowers, widows, di- vorcees and persons separated by mutual consent are classed as single persons. 4.#.."..|
 The Bureau of Internal Revenue is preparing to send into each coun- ty in the United States revenue off, cers who will aid taxpayers in mak- ing out their returns. Similar ser vices will be offered city residents. But the bureaus advice before seeking such assistance is to read carefully the instructions. Unless the problem is particularly complex, study of the form will enable the taxpayer to make correct return.
 The normal rate of tax of per cent on the first S4,000 of net in- come and per cent on the re- maining net income above the ex- emption remains unchanged. Sur tax rates which apply only to in comes in excess of $6,000 are low cred, ranging for the calendar year 1922 from i per cent. on the ann ount of net income between $6,000 and $1O,000 to 50 per cent. on the amount by which the net income ex- ceeds $200,000. For the year 1921 the surtax rates ranged from I per cent on the amount of net income between $5,000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent on the amount of net in come in excess of $1,000,000.

CANAAN WINS FROM
 THE SHEFFIELD FIVE

r" Triangles 37; Evergreens g
 The Winsted Triangles defeated the Evergreens on. Saturday night by the score of 37-23. The game was rather rough in spots, most of the rough stuff being pulled by the visitors. ....#.
 The first half was an exciting i one but in the second frame the Y. M c. A. swept Canaan off its feet. The Evergreens started the game with rush that sent them into seven point lead. The visi- tors soon overcame this advantage, however, and forged to the front. They were never headed again.
 Baldwin was the star for Canaan, with six field goals Hayward, of the Triangles, was their ace, likewise sinking five twin pointers. Howe caged four while Dayton and Smith each scored three. Davis and Clark were contented with one apiece.

a dealer may use A car for his per sonal use. This was apparently in- advertently left out of the law, and the commissioner says that there should be a distinct determination as to just what may or may not be done under the marker. The sug- gestion offered is that the marker and fees be graded, and that there be an unlimited marker by which the dealer may do anything he pleeses and for which he pays a higher fee, and limited marked by which he may only demonstrate a car, and the demonstration of the car must be defined so that there will be no escape from the application of the definition.
 The gasoline tax is commended as a success. Certain exemptions are recommended, however. The pro- fessional oysterman or fisherman who uses his boat for the gathering of oysters or sea products ought to be exempt from payment of the tnx on his fuel, in the opinion of the commissioners. The farmer who blows his fields for agricultural pur- poses ought to be exempted. Un- der the present law, no fuel used in any motor boat is exempt, md 1t is suggested that the law be chang ed so that t!e motor bon. user may benefit in productive business where he uses fuel.

Tt was reported Santa Claus re- fused to come down chimneys this year on account of so many people burning soft coal, but that he would be at the Pilgrim Church Friday D. -sn. at 4:30 o'clock sharp, to see the boys, girls, babies and old folks, consequently there was large dele gation of the aforesaid to meet the distinguished visitor. The children sang their songs and spoke their little pieces splendidyl. Santa had gifts for all the children. The Church Treasurer was greatly sur prised when Santa announced he was going to present him with an automobile. This was supposed to be in part payment for services rem dered, or possibly on account of the poor sidewalks on West Main Street. The following note accom- panying the car will explain:
 Old Santa very much enjoys
 This giving gifts to all his boys
 And so it gives me joy indeed
 To bring this gift to John B. Reed. {. Now I have heard how every day To work you plod your patients way So with this gift you see I've tried To furnish you the means to ride. It more befits, it seemWto me A banker of maturity
