A few years ago farmers tighten
err their grasp on the lines of their
teams and cast hostile glances at pass
ing automobiles.
A few of them spilled tacks in the
r>ads for cars to run over.
Most of them contented themselves
with cussing the motorists after get
ting their teams under control or pick
ing themselves up out of a ditch.
But Mr.. Farmer has graduated from
that class.
He is no longer hostile to automo-
biles.
He drives one of his own.
He is death on the culprit who
throws nail or tack onto the high
way.
Even his horse declines to take
fright or become skittish.
Times have changed
So have we.

The requirements to file an in
come tax return is based on a per-
sons status, marital and otherwise,
on the last day Of the taxable year
December 81. 1921-if the return is
filed on calendar year basis. II
on that day a person was single. or
married and not living with husband
or wife, a return is required IL the
net income for 1921 was $1,000 or
more. or II the gross income was
$4,000 or more. II married. and liv-
ing with husband or wife on that
date, return is required il the net
income was $4,000 or more, or If the
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Widows, widowers and persons di-
vorced from husband or wife, or sep
arated by mutual agreement are
classed as single persons.
A married couple living together is
entitled to an exemption of $4,000
or $4,000, according to whether their
net income was $4,000 or less or more
than $1,000, even though the we'd
ding may have taken place on De-
cember 80. The bride and groom.
however, must file return II the
combined net income Of both during
the year equaled or exceeded $4,000,
or If the combined gross income
equaled or exceeded $4,000. They
may have known one another only a
few weeks before the ceremony, but
their status on December 81 joins
them for a full year for income tax
purposes. Either separate or joint
return may be filed.
Widows and Widowers
A widow or widower is not required
to shown on an individual return the
income of husband or wife who died
during the year up to the date of
death. The income of a deceased per-
son is considered separately with re-
spect 10 the filing OF q return by an
executor or administrator. The de-
ceased is entitled to exemption for
the full year based upon his status
at the time of death.
A single person who is the head Of
a family Is entitled to an exemption
OF $4,000 or $2,500 according to the
amount of his net income, II on De-
cember 81 he was supporting in one
household one or more relatives. II.
however, the support of such rela-
tives ceased during the year he is
allowed an exemption of only $1,000.
The same rule applies with respect TO
dependents, person dependent upon
the taxpayer for chief support and
under is years OF age, or incapable
of self-support because mentally or
physically defective. IL such de-
pendency ceased prior to December
81, 1921. the s400 exemption for de-
pendents does not apply. Boys and
girls who became elf-supporting
during the year, and whose parents
do not or may not appropriate their
earnings, form a new class of tax
payers. Each. IL single, must file a
return IL the net income for 1921 was
$1,000 or more. or IL the gross In
come was $4,000 or more.

Hotel Adams Bldg.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock
market was irregular today, with a
rather neutral closing. People We're
watching closely reports from Wash
ington with regard the soldiers bonus
bill. The various reports were
scanned closely. The general opinion
is that there will be majority for
the bill. If it is passed it is generally
admitted there will be a setback for
prosperity throughout the country
In the senate, which represents the
brains and courage of the country to
a much greater extent, determined
opposition is assured for this meas
ure, which in the end means suffering
and unemployment for people who
would otherwise have work to do
later in the year. The session was
uninteresting except the specialties.
Peoples Gas was one OF the strong
spots. Steel was off fractionally.
