Wednesday with Mrs. Freeman Colt.
Friends here of Miss Minnie Mitch

recent marriage to Rudolph Dolliver
of Manset.
Mrs. Emma Reed visited her son,

Mrs. Rena Gray.
Colen Colt left several days ago
to join the $4,000 ton steamship,
Effna, owned by the Harris McGill
Co., now loading grain at Baltimore
for the Russian relief.
Bernard has been clad in a clear
glare of ice for several days, and
many will remember it by bruises
they have received by falling. The
old saying, IAN ill wind" etc., is
true again, as those having teams
have improved the chance and
hauled out many cords of firewood.

Business was good here last week,
the best week of the winter. Sled
ding was excellent, and all those who
had wood cut made the best of it.
The mildness of the weather was to
the liking of those interested in the
clam industry, and large shipments
were the result.
Lyle Ford, who is attending Ellis
worth high school, has been at home
recently nursing an abscess on his
lip.
Miss Nora Brinkworth, who is
employed at l.. l.. Browns, is visit
ing her sister in Pittsfeld for a
week.
Miss Phyllis Stratton is visiting
her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Reuben Williams, in Franklin.
Mrs. D. w. Springer has been con-
fined to her bed for the past two
weeks. She is now conva1escing.
1t has been said that blacksmith
shop was a valuable place to get in
formation relative to a horse. How
ever if our congenial blacksmith,
George c. Smith of North Lamoine,
can be depended upon for such in
formation, there is no reason why
the following from Mr.. Smith would
not be of interest to the many read
ers of The American in this vicinity
The pullet referred to is owned by
Mr.. Smith. Born April 10, 1921:
stole nest, laid sixteen eggs, and
came out with ten chickens October
Is, 1921, and commenced laying
again December Is, 1921.
~ Otto Johnson, who is employed at
the Ellsworth foundry, has been at
home for a week.
Delbert Clark of Franklin and
Wesley Clark of Brewer are here
cutting shipknees. They are cutting
on o. w. Ford's property this week,
but it is understood that they intend
to cut on other places.
The egg-laying contest here is not
developing as was hoped. The inter-
est, however, is keen, and as neigh
bors rub elbows the first to be set
tied is the results of biddys efforts.
An effort has been made to get the
weekly records, but as yet without
results. 1t is believed that a good
reason is in the fact that nobody's
flock is quite up to normal.

revived the dramatic element, which
is very much alive at present. Tho

There was much enthusiasm, supple

1923.
An increase in the flat corporation
tax from ten to twelve and one
half per cent is substituted for the
so-called excess-profits tax. Corpo-
ration profits when paid to the
stockholders as dividends, become
-Jbject to the normal tax and sur
tax the same as other income.
There are many administrative
changes, including provisions for
simplifying income tax returns.
These are the most important
changes in the revenue law. They
may not be pleasing to everybody.
No tax levy or revenue bill was ev-
er written that was entirely pleasing
to everybody who pays taxes. But
the revenue must be raised and this
seems to be the best bill that could
be worked out at this time. II is
not a permanent law and changes
and reductions will be made from
year to year.

people. This has been made possi-
BILE by rigid economies exercised by
the Congress and the executive de-
partment. A remarkable record in
force OF eXtravagances OF recent
years.
However, there remains needs for
revenue and the new revenue bill
provides ample necessity for people
to continue to keep posted on tax
laws.
The war is over of course, but
as long as men live, who now walk
to and fro upon this earth, some
of the war debts will remain unpaid
and the taxes will reflect the cost
and extravaganza of the great
World War. Today the interest on
the war debt is approximately one
billion dollars. Probably never
again will the National budget be
as small as 1t was the year before
war was declared.
But we have much to be cheerful
over. After January / we will not
have to pay taxes on: freights, pas
senger fares. medicines, toilet
articles. etc. hats, shoes. clothing,
etc., parcel post. insurance. ice
cream, soda fountain taxes, musical
instruments. sporting goods, motion
pictures films. fur articles, electric
fans. ETC.. surety bonds.
And the taxes on the following
have been substantially reduced:
carpets. trunks. candy. pictures, ETC.,
and admissions.

The exemption for a married man
who earns not over $4,000 year
has been increased to s2,50O. This
item removes a tax of $40 100000
from this class of people.
The exemption allowed for each
minor child has been increased from
/ $500 TO s400. This item relieves
such parents of the payment OF
about 930,000.000.
These exemptions go into effect at
once and will reflect in the taxes
payable next year.
Take for instance a married man
with two children, making $4,000
year. He will pay no income un-
der the new law. There are said to
be 100000 such families In the
United States.
For such a family. the following
table shows the difference In the old
and the new law.
Net Income Old Tax New Tax
$1,000 5 so
$4,000 o
$4,000 "a o
$4,000 81 28
$4,000 1O4 68
The surtaxes which begin on in
comes above $4,000 have been re-
duced all along the line but when
the income exceeds 100000 the
tax is so per cent OF that above.
These reductions In surtax. however,
do not apply to the tax paid In
1929, but apply on incomes for 1922
and taxes paid after January 1.

at the Grand.

Topeka's road show season starts
next Thursday with the appearance
here by Neil O'Brien and his min
strels, who for the past two seasons
have passed up" this CITY. The open
ing is earlier than was expected The
booking OF the minstrel show was an
nounced several weeks ago, but It was
not until this last week that the final
arrangements for the Topeka appear
ance was made definitely. O'Brien's
MINISTRIES have appeared on the stage
at the Grand six times and this will
make the seventh visit here The
troupe has been on the road Tor
twelve years, appearing for the great
er part on eastern stages. The black
face comedians come here from Hast
ings. Neb., the 'farthest west point
OF this seasons tour for them. To-
peka is the first stop for the troupe on
its way back east.
O'Brien and his company have al
ways been popular mere ana nave
drawn capacity or almost on each
visit. Thus far this season the COM
pany has done what it's ADVANCE agent
calls wonderful business" Even tho
appearing IN Topeka on comparatively
short notice it is expected that the
record set thus far will be maintained.
Neil O'Brien's popularity here is based
upon the fact that he will never per-
nit risque joke or suggestive song
in any part of his program. He car
ries the rule even, farther than that.
He placed an absolute ban on such
talk even back stage" His COM
pany is led by some of the best known
lights of minstrelsy, among them Jay
Clay, Jake C''Smoke") Gray, Tommy
Virgins, Jack OVerholt, Frank
Cracker Quinn and Fred Miller.
There are in addition to these a large
number of bright, ambitious young
sters who supply the pep, harmony
and life to the program. In his sec
ond part or 'olio," O'Brien has made
a departure from the usual in that he
has introduced several bright farce
sk.ts, the chief of which is Rufus in
the Lions Den" 1t is followed by
another bit of pure comedy all will
appreciate in Put and Take"

ENGLAND TO TRY SUNFL OVERS
Famous Kansas Crop VIII Nod Heads
to British NobIemen.

Calgary, Alta, Oct. 7.-Sunflowers,
indigenous to several parts of the
United States, are to be taken up by
the English aristocracy. Next year,
they probably will be growing on the
estate of the Earl of STAFFORD, and,
nodding their free American heads
over the hedge rows, will look Brit
ish noblemen in the eye.
The Earl of STAFFORD was one of a
party of members of the British par
lament visiting Canada. While in
Calgary, he was taken to a farm near
EStrathmcre where he witnessed the
harvesting..of the sunflower crop.
The earl, an extensive farmer and
stock raiser, was so impressed with
the value of sunfIowers as silage for
winter feed that he announced his
intention of introducing them into
England and giving them trial next
year on his estate.
