BUILDING A TOWN

Much Of the future progress OF a
town depends upon the home life OF
the community
If the town is divided into bust
ness. social, religious and political
cIQues or groups, with hard and fast
lines drawn and each pulling against
the others, there is but little oppor-
tunity for real progress The people
can not get together on common
plane of understanding and work. No
one faction is willing to accept the
leadership Of another
But when a town is comparatively
sree from paralyzing cliques and
icaI0usies there is a great OppOrtuN-
ity for advancement. Everybody
knows everybody else, each feels free
to advance suggestions to others, and
iii turn is willing to receive them.
~ this way the best points OF every
proposition are brought to the sur
face, and the logical leader to cary
fhe work to completion is easily
selected.
The closed mind is the heritage Of
t0wn divided against itself 1t IN
hiEes but few new thoughts, and
those are ceute"ed around the partic-
ula~ clique to which the mind belongs.
The open mind gathers in much food
for new thought and that thought IS
capable Of expansion and develop
meat in many ways.
The open mind is the one for this
town. Selected

TUE NEWSPAPER MAN

The general rule is that you will
find newspaper men fair if you don't
t~y to bluff them You can't do that
for they are in position to get you
forty times to YOU once. Ii YOU
want anything take the news paper
man into your confidence and be on
the square Don't treat him as though
he was a dirty dog and amounted to
Nothing Won will never get any
where that way The average man
needs the newspaper man twice IS
much as the newspaper needs Tie
men Don't stand in your own light
anl get in bad. He doesn't care.
While you are whining to two or
three he is talking to ten thousand.
See the point? The wise man W Il
treat the newspaper man on the
square and give, him the same con-
sideration he does other men. The
newspaper man knows all about yOu
and it is only through the goodness of
his heart that he does not publish
what he knows So MANY men seem
to think that all paper is good for IS
to boost a man for Office and then be
forgotten. but that is the wrong idea
and always lands man on the wrong
side. -CrandOn Star.

COUNTY AGENT HINTS.

There ara moe swine -aisers in
Grant county than any other county
in the state and we have an excellent
start in the dairy business, therefore,
we should be present several hundred
strong to hear what DR.. AlOnZO Tay-
Tor, of Leland Stanford University,
California, has to say on 1.-THE Men
ace from the Tropics" His address
will take up the influence of the i'm
portatiOn Of cheap fats from the trop-
ical zone upon the production in the
temperate zone. The filled milk
question will be thoroughly discus ed
at the meeting First hand infOTma
ton on this question is worth trip
to Madison. However, many Other
questions just as important to Grant
county farmers will be discussed by
the most able men of America. Try
and arrange to be there.
Many farmers have stated they did
not need any books to keep track o.
! their profits this year which is true
in many cases. However, it would
be more foTceful and to the point If
one could state, that you had loss OF
$1,483.00 than to say you had big
loss.
One of the reasons why greater re-
cognition of the present day farming
conditions are not taken more serious
by the people outside the farming
sections is because more absolute
data taken direct from farmers book
accounts can not be furnished.
1t is little trouble to keep account
of the farm business, but you expect
that and admit that it would be time
we'll spent. If accurate data could be
had, it would serve as very forceful
evidence, that could not be discounted
to show what must occur immediate
/ ly if Is per cent of the farming bust
ness is to come back on paying basis.
Account books can be obtained of
different sources that make it simple
to record all data in a we'll organized
system If you want University ac-
count book write to Prof. Donald,
University of Wisconsin, Madison, or
the County Agent of Lancaster, Wis.
700 Birds at Poultry Show
The Platteville Poultry Show is a
decided success this year and the
Platteville Poultry Association is to
| be congratulated over its fine eXhib
/ it's.
The local breeders walked off with
more premiums than was expected,
as the competition was very keen.
| More poultry shows should be put
on in Grant county.
/ Bloomington farmers have sold
/ $50 100000 worth of poultry to one of
/ their local dealers this year, which
! proves there is a lot of good poultry
/ being raised, around there. A poul
/ try show would be of great help to
! the farmers and merchants there.
/ Standardization of flocks is neces-
sary to increase the profits Of the
poultrymen. More breeders of the
/ same kind are necessary not only of
/ the production of uniform eggs but
also to produce a higher quality meat
/ foul.
We need more cooperation for the
poultry campaign this year. Sug-
/ gestions are solicited Contributed

PUBLIC FORUM
An Independent VS. Subsidized Press

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 20, 1922.
Mr.. AL Sherman,
Lancaster, Wisconsin.
Friend AL
just read your editorial, or rather,
Declaration of independence, in the
issue of the 18th, under the caption:
Have We Changed Our G to-
Shades of Ben Franklin!! What do
you mean by casting asunder one of
the time-Worn if not hOnOred prece-
dents of the craft by refusing the
"pOst-Office?" Don't you know that
some people buy or establish news
papers simply to get a political job?
Can it be that you are conducting a
newspaper for the service you can
and are rendering the community at
large? "Independent" is right!
You are Republican, AL, but you
are not too strongly partisan to prac-
tice the preachin' of Woodrow Wilson,
"Precedents are Good, Only to be
broken" And in conclusion | WI
say that from what I know of the
frame of mind Of the farmers OF sew
eral states, including Wisconsin, at
the present time, you couldn't beat
La Toilette with royal flush And
that goes for Arthur Capper of Kan
sas and Jim Reed Of Missouri, as
we'll SO as a prophet you are also
fair. But | admire sou most for
ac0rning "the bone" which was tossed
to you from the political "festal
hoard" And which, as you doubtless
OWNED, was doubtless intended to
represent the purchase price of the
Grant County Herald. Too many
people in the politician anG commercial
life are obsessed with the idea that a
country paper is an object Of charity.
The sooner their minds are relieved
of this fallacy the better it will be for
all concerned. A few such declara-
tons Of independence as yours will
make them believe in the true worth
of their greatest community asset
the old home paper.
So be your political coat of as many
colors as Joseph's of Biblical fame,
I still glory in your spunk in declar-
ing to the world that there is still one
country paper in the I. S. A. that
cannot be subsidized by any party.
group of faction. The good people OF
Grant county should, and doubtless
do appreciate this
With kindest regards to yourself
and family, l am as ever,
Your friend,

FACTS ABOUT INCOME TAX LAW
Much Time Will Be Saved By q Close
Study Of the Statute

The new requirement Of the income
tax law that returns shall be made Of
gross income of $1,000 or more re-
gardless Of the amount Of net income
upon which the tax is assessed, neces-
states careful computation on the
part of the taxpayer. "Gross income"
includes practically every dollar re-
ceiyed by the taxpayer during the
year 1921 in salaries, wages, commits
sions, rents, royalties, interest on bank
deposits, cash dividends on stock, or
income from any source whatsoever.
Net income is gross income less GER
tain deductions provided for by the
act, including all business expenses
incurred in the conduct Of business,
trade, profession or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deductible as business expense
when made for the purchase Of ar
ticles more or less permanent in char
acter, or for permanent improvement
Of property. For example, merchant
would not be allowed to deduct the
amount expended in the erection of a
new store, or a farmer the cost of a
new tractor or threshing machine, as
such investments are held to be capi-
tai investments. The law expressly
prohibits the deduction of family or
living expenses, such as rent for a
dwelling, repairs to a dwelling, cost
Of food and clothing for the family,
education Of children, servants wages
and similar items. Amounts spent
during the year 1921 for any Of these
items are not deductible.

Cardinal Ratti, Archbishop of Milan,
was proclaimed elected pope in sue

Monday morning, after several days
of balloting.
Thousands waiting in front of St.
Peters for the wisp of smoke which
would tell of the election Of a new
pope or the failure of the sacred COL
lege to reach q decision gave mighty
shout at 1888 a. M, when a thin col
umn Of vapor came, from the chimney
leading from the Sistine chapel. It
was then known that the Catholic
church had once more duly elected
pontiff. &,
As soon as the two-thirds vote for
Cardinal Ratti had been verified, Car
dinal Vannuttelli, as dean Of the sa-
cred college, arose and proceeded to
the throne Of the chosen one. accom-

Logue and Bisleti, respectively, deans
Of the cardinal priests and the car

asked in Latin, in accordance with GUS
tom, if he accepted the election to be
supreme pontiff, and the new pope an
swered with the formal: "Since it is
the will Of God, l must Obey
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones Of the cardinals were let
down, one by one, until only that over
the new pontiff remained. This was
done to show that the whole sacred
college rendered obeisance to the new
head of the church. Dean Vannuttelli
thereupon asked the new incumbent
what name he chose to take during
his pontifcate, and upon his reply,

The pontiff, fully vested with the

cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel.

their rank and headed by vannuttelli,
