1922 may be called Bible Reading

terrain Church Sunday School, because

exemptions and s per cent on the re-
manning net income.
In order that ali Income Il. il
excess of $1,000 shall ncs De s,soJ
to an Unfortunately disproportionata
I'tax because of the reduction Of the ex-
emption to $4,000 thereon, the law
provides that such reduction shall not
operate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption
were $1,000, by more than the amount
of the net income in excess of $4,000.
For example, on net income of
| 5000, the tax, without this saving
clause, would be $120.40. which is.
"a per cent on 5000, the amount of
net income less an exemption of ST.
600. The actual tax is S1l04o, COM
puted as follows: from the net in
come of 5000 is deducted $4,000.
leaving $3.50, the 4 per cent tax ON
which amounts to $100.40. To this Is
added $40, '.the amount of net ircom&
in excess of $1,000"
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, person who sup
ports in one household one or mores
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
ton.
Heretofore, person whose net i'm
come was less than his exemptions
($1, 000, if single, or $4,000 if mar
ried) was not required to file return,
Under the Revenue Act of 1921, of the.
gross income of an Individual equaIleG
or exceeded $4,000, or if the combined
gross in come of married couple
and that of dependent l;s:pr chi.dreS
equalled OF exceeded $4,000, leturA
must be filed, regardless of the amount
Of net income.
"Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions. The fact thar
allowable deductions from gross in
come, for business expenses, losses
bad debts, ETC., may reduce the net
income to an amount below the per-
sonal exemptions of 81 900 or $1,000,

IF we as professed Christians would

stay more upon our knees, impor-

wisdom and with power from the
great head of the church, examine our
selves to see whether we be in the
faith, instead of INDUCING SO many
unkind, unjust criticisms, and efforts
to make Of them tools to be used, or
buttons to be pressed at autocratic
bidding; we would experience in all
Of our churches sweeter spirit OF
unity and brotherly love than hitherto
known.
The prophets of old were not waited
upon around the corner, having their
messages dictated and pruned to suit
itching ears and stricken consciences;
they came 1st hand from Jehovah God

when watchmen were needed upon the

TAYLOR CONSOLIDATED HIGH
SCHOOL DOTS.

Z y
Prof. j. w. Buzbee has just received
i the news from Mr.. H. M. JOY, the
supervisor of secondary education,
that the Taylor Consolidated school
is now accredited three-year high
school, and that when the necessary
equipment is secured, application will
| follow.
The citizens Of the Taylor Com
solidated school district had a mass
meeting last Friday night for the pur-
pose of discussing ways and means
to improve our school. It was un-
animously agreed that COMMITTEES Of
three, namely, D. T. Mitchell, ]. 2.
Walker, and DR.. T. H. Under. secure
| the services Of two disinterested
school men who, together with Prof.
~. w. Buzbee, should meet and con-
suit as to the building and equip
ment necessary to meet all OF our
nteds and fill all the requirements OF
an affiliated school, and, when their
report shall have been made It was
agreed that whatever was needful to
be done to secure these funds would
surely be done. Your correspondent
has been later advised that the COM
mittee has tentatively selected s ut.
IC. H. Curd Of Marshall County, and
Prof. Guy Dean, superintendent OF the
city school Of Water Valley to serve
ION above committee.

EDITORIAL
BUY A CONFEDERATE FLAG.

THE Americas chapter OF the u d
C. is inaugurating tomorrow
what it is hoped will become an an
nual custom. 1t will sell miniature
Confederate Flags on Memorial day
as means Of raising funds to assist
the U. D. C. scholarship fund through
which the descendants Of the Con-
federate veterans are being assisted
in gaining an education in the South.
The buying and wearing of the
Stars and Bars on Memorial day each
year will be a pretty custom, with
its practical as we'll as its sentiment
tai significance. AS Mrs. J. w. Har-
ris, Jr., remarked, I'VE have worn
the Confederate Flag in our hearts
for so long, and we are now going
to wear it over our hearts as well
for day in the year at least"
This is wonderful work the U. D.
c. is doing, and one of which the
public knows little. In Georgia
alone it has a scholarship fund of
100000 which is lent to young peo-
pie to assist them through college 1t
IS a revolving fund, being constantly
paid by back by the young people as
they finish college and as they go
out into the world and become earn
ers. Through this plan the veterans
Of the SOS, as has been said, though
dead, yet shall they live" for to their
descendants in practical way is the
tribute of love paid tribute
which lies in every Southern heart
and which will remain as long as the
nation stands.
So have your dime ready tomor-
row when the lady hands you little
Confederate Flag. 1t is a great
cause. And probably there would be
little objection if you should hand
her quarter or any other larger
amount than dime. But the price
is only dime, and that is all that
is asked 1t is so little. And means
so much.

THE fifth one of the Seven Valleys
was called Playground Valley.
When Nancy and Nick and the
dove came to the top of the steep
hill that led down into it, the dove
said, 81 know how it is going to be
here. You'll want to try every swing
and sliding board in the place, so
there's no use of my staying I'll
fly ahead and wait for you patiently
On the other side"
But we don't have to stop, even
if we'd like to" said Nancy. eve
can shut our eyes and go straight
ahead"
NO" said the dove, sadly. "You
think you will but you won't. These
things are all magic and will attract
you against your will. It's like the
Neutrality-suspicious. Mountain and
the Valley of Puppy-Dogs. Goodby
now. All the advice | can give you
is to watch that you don't lose your
Green Shoes and that you will try
to come as soon as you can"
Away he flew, but the magic had
already begun to work and Nick was
so interested in the things he saw
around him, he scarcely heard what
his little white guide said.
If | were to tell you all the things

that the Twins did in Playground
Valley it would fill SO much space
that there wouldn't be room for an
other thing on this page. But | can
tell you part of it.
To begin with, there were swings
rope swings with board sets, boat
swings on chains, nice bench swings
with roofs over the top, slat swings,
big swings, little swings, high
swings, low swings, swings that
squeaked and swings that were quiet,
double swings, single swings, red
swings, blue swings, and all sorts of
swings.
Then there were sliding boards.
Some were steep some were flat,
some were high, some were low, and
each one a barrel of fun.
And there were bars to swing on
(Nick liked them), and sandpiles to
dig in Nancy liked that, and see
saws, the best ever. There were
kites to fly and tops to spin, skates
to skate on and wheels to ride.
ooh, myp said Nancy suddenly.
We've been an awful long time.
We'd better hurry on, Nick. hear
the dove calling"

WHEAT, of the variety that was
" cultivated $4,000 years ago, is
exhibited under glass cases at the
Field Museum, Chicago.
1t is the most important food ever
discovered by man-so important
that wheat bread is known in many
languages as the staff of life.
Wherever man has carried his civ
ilization on large scale he has had
to carry cultivation of wheat with
him.
In 1920, the Spaniards brought
overseas the seed that started the
giant American wheat-growing indus

City folks give little thought to
wheat, yet all eat it. Your BODY,
through which your spirit manifests
itself in this three-dimensional world.
is largely transformation of wheat.
To millions of farmers the wheat
seed is the key to livelihood. This
year they will raise about seven bush
els for every person in the United
States.
Economists tell you that wheat is
the chief regulator of our whole sys-
tenn of economics-from prices to
health.
The crash in wheat prices since the
collapse of the war boom has illus
trated how tickle and unstable is our
economic system. 1t has been so,
all through history.
In May, 1867, wheat hit high
mark o. S2.11 a bushel in the cash
market at Chicago.
In May, 1870, the highest reached
was 90 cents a bushel.
From this crash farmers learn that
current price problems are nothing
new, but merely a repetition of the
endless series of up-and-down cycles.
You could devote whole lifetime
to the study OF wheat, and still have
only a faint conception of its i'm
portance in the worlds prosperity
health, happiness and progress.
1t is one of the things that are
taken FOR granted, without the curl
osity that prompts study, by jadec
civilization that trance-like is inter
ested only in the startlingly new.
