INCOME TAX FACTS

Revenue officers are visiting every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in the preparation Of their
income tax returns for the year 1922.
Information concerning the date of
their arrival and the location of their
offices may be obtained by writing
the collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer
lives.
Forms for filing returns of indi-
vidual net income for the year 1929
are being sent to taxpayers who filed
returns for the year 1921. Failure to
receive a form, however, does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file return and pay the tax on
time, on or before March Is, 1928.
The forms, 1O4OA for filing returns
Of net income $4,000 and less and
l040 for filing returns of net income
n excess of $4,000. may be obtained
from collectors of internal revenue
and deputy collectors.
Returns are required of every single
person whose net income for 1929 was
81 900 or more or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more and of every
married person whose net income was
$4,000 or more or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more. Careful study
of the instructions on the forms will
greatly aid in making correct return.

FARMERS UNION FEDERATION
TO HOLD MEETING MARCH :

The next regular meeting of the
Farmers Union Federation Of the
Frenchman Valley will be held March
3rd at the court house in Holyoke at
HOO A. NJ.
The first Annual Election of Off
GERS to the Federation will take place
at this meeting and all locals of the
Federation will likely have full at
tendance of delegates. The Fann-
ers' Union Federation of the French
man Valley was recognized at the last
executive committee meeting of the
Farmers Union as an official Farm
ers' Union branch and it's delegates
were all seated in the last convention
This is a very good boost to the To-
cal Federation and they have united
in their efforts for furthering the
farmers cause during the last year.
this being the first year of existence.
There are one or two other dis
tricts or county unions in the State
of Colorado which were also repre-
sented in the last State Convention
in Denver in January. The local
Federation has been very great help
in putting over the Wheat Growers
Organization during the past year.
The Wheat Growers organization now
is one of the first grower organiza-
tions in the state and owes much of
it's early success to the help of the
Federation in Northeastern Colorado.
At the meeting in Holyoke a week
from Saturday the regular meeting
will hear report of the Denver con-
vention along with other reports to
be taken up, one, the proposition of
Purchasing Agent for the Federation
to take the place of the local Pur-
chasing Agent in the various locals.
All Farmers Union members and
others who are interested in farmers
causes will be welcomed at the Hol-
yoke meeting.
The last meeting of the Federation
held at Holyoke number of business
men and others took part in the dis
cussion in regard to the economical
problems of the farmers which was
very much appreciated by the FEEDER
alton members and others present.

mer or bark his knees on the hurdles
or fall in heap at the end of mara

business over here, anyway.
But horse racing! All, that's differ
ent, and it always will be. 1t tas been
called the sport of kings To those who
know horses" it is the king of sports.
The trouble with Americans is that they
are inclined to overdo sports-and thus
spoil them as sports. We used to have
some great horse races in the United
States. The book-makers and touts
were allowed to gain control of them.
Thus the allurements of the sport were
overdone-and then, of course, the re-
formers had to go to extremes in the
opposite direction. Horse racing was
forbidden in many states. So, the sport
of kings, the king of sports, fell into
disuse-except at county fairs, where
plugs" or COW ponies were allowed to
entertain the village cut-ups, and kick
dust into the red lemonade, and detract
attention from the orator of the day.
1t is impossible to prevent people
from betting on any game of chance.
1t is impossible to prevent some people
from betting on games in which they
have no honest chance to win. Although
it is not only good public policy. but
proper, to take measures to prevent
crookedness in any game 'or sport,
whether it be baseball or horse racing.
the only way betting could be eliminated
would be either to change human nature
or to prohibit all games or sports in
which there is even the slightest ele-
ment of chance-and neither of those
methods can be successfully adopted by
mere man.
OF course there will be betting on the
forthcoming international horse race,
even without the services of bookmak-
ers and professional tipsters. But this
should not spoil the sport for those who
love horse racing for itself. AS long as
races are honestly conducted, those who
promote them deserve encouragement
from the Lawmakers.

SPORT OF KINGS

Horses representing two great nations
are soon to be matched for a race that
will be worth while for the loser as
we'll as for the winner. Papyrus, Eng
lands three-year-old champion, is being
brought over to meet whatever horse
may be adjudged Americas best of that
age. Whatever the arrangements may
be as to details, the event ought to be
gratifying to the people of both coun-
tries, in several respects.
Broadly, it may inaugurate a new
international sport. Heretofore it has
been regarded as impracticable, if not
prohibitively risky, to ship race korses
across the Atlantic. But the owner of
Papyrus has been persuaded to take
whatever chance OF misadventure there
may be in sending his horse 20 the
United States, and if the trip has no I'M
toward consequences the forthcoming
event will probably be the beginning
of an international custom.
In addition to the sport inherent in
such race. many people may welcome
the relief from the monotony of tennis
matches, Olympic games. yacht races and
other forms of rivalry in which friendly
nations have been engaging for so long
Sir Thomas Upton is a good sport,
but Americans. if not the English. too
are tired of traces" that don't mean
anything" to the average person. Doubt
less Americans would become fed up
on tennis if Mile. Lenglen and compar-
able acrobats performed as frequently
here as they have been doing in Eng
iland. And what excitement does the
