REMEMBER:
WHAT All SING CHING SAYS.

1.-THE American Legion, which is
composed of men and women who en-
listed for the defense of our countries
during the war, stands for unity, de-
mocracy, peace and service to God and
our country" said All Sing Ching,
fourteen year old Chinese boy of EVA
Oahu, Hawaii, winner of the American
Legion's national essay contest on
"How The American Legion May Best
Serve The Nation"
"The Slogan of our country is IN
UNION THERE is STRENGTH, and
it is because of this unity our country
is strong. But during the world war
we found we faced internal as well as
external enemies. Bolshevism, COM
munism and anarchy are as real
enemies as any we had to fight over
seas, and much harder to conquer.
1.-THE American Legion can do a
encouraging a spirit of unity and CO.
operation and by teaching foreigners
who come to the United States, how to
live under republican form of gov
ernment-helping them to understand
that ours is A GOVERNMENT OF
THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE,
and that it shall not perish from the
earth.
"Many foreigners come from coun-
tries where they have been oppressed
and they do not understand the word
LIBERTY but think it is a license to
commit crimes. These people must
be taught, and the American Legion
can aid in doing this. Then too, the
world war taught us that many of our
own citizens were uneducated and that
not nearly enough money was being
spent for schools. Here is great
work for the American Legion, to see
that every child in the United States
has chance to be educated. What we
want in our nation we must put into
our schools-so the need for good
schools and well trained teachers is
very great.
"For those who cannot attend dur
ing working hours, night schools must
be provided to help educate them, and
those who wish to become good citi-
zens. The American Legion is on the
side of education and will make every
effort to see that the schools of the
United States rank first in the whole

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 individu-
al net income for the year 1922 are
being sent to taxpayers who filed re-
turns for the year 1921. Failure to
receive a form, however, does not re-
lieve the taxpayer of his obligation TO
file a return and pay the tax on time,
on or before March Is, 1923. The
forms, 1040A for filing returns of net
income 5000 and less and 1O40 for fill
ing returns of pet income in excess of
SIS, 900, may be obtained from collectors
of internal revenue and deputy collec-
tors.
Returns are required of every single
person whose net income for 1922 was
81 900 or more or whose gross income
was 5000 or more and of every mar
fied 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 re-
turn.
In the making of his income tax re-
turn for the year 1929, taxpayer, if
single, is allowed an exemption OF
$1,000. A married person, or head of
family, whose net income for the
year 1922 was $4,000 or less is allowed
an exemption of $4,000. The exemp-
ton allowed a married person or head
of a family whose net income was in
excess of $4,000 is $4,000 A head of
family is person who actually sup
ports one or more persons living in his
or her household who are closely re-
lated to him or her by blood, marriage
or adoption.
An additional credit of $40O is allow
ed for each person (other than hus-
band or wife) dependent upon the tax
payer for chief support, if such person
is under Is years of age or incapable
of self support because mentally or
physically defective. A single man
whose net income for 1922 was $4,000
and who supports in his home an aged
mother would have no tax to pay, but
would nevertheless be required to file
a return. The fact that persons in
come may be nontaxable by reason of
the exemptions does not nullify the re-
quirement to file return if his income
was within the prescribed figures
81 900 if single and $4,000 if married.
The normal tax is per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of

GIRLS CLUB NOTES

Tuesday evening Mrs. Grundy will
visit the club rooms OF the Gardiner
Girls club. She has asked every
member who always knows just
what properly to do and say on all
occasions to remain at home. She will
welcome all others and guarantees a
ming. It Is safe to say that every
girl in Gardiner has at some time
committed an obvious breach Of eti-
uuette and by the knowledge Of it
has spoiled the occasion for herself
as we'll as for others. So girls are
asked to bring every doubt or ques-
ton to Mrs. Grundy. For instance:
When should a young lady shake
hands? They all must do it. Some
do it very seldom and others very
frequently. Just when is the proper
time is surely worth Tearing, for it
is always true that knowledge is
power" as well as one of our dear
est desires.
Another little note. The vaudeville
show which is scheduled on the club
program for Tuesday. has been post
poned until next Tuesday,. March 20.
Here's another one. Girls are urged
to sign at once for the class in Den
nison's Wax Works, which will be
started this Friday. All who have
seen the classy jewelry, vanity boxes.
candle sticks, etc, made by the Au-
gusta girls are full of enthusiasm.
Miss Melissa Farnham, OF the highly
successful Augusta class has prom
ised her services as teacher.

training this winter has had to be
under the most rigorous conditions.
Leighton did extremely we'll in the
mile race and learned a good les
son. Gray, the freshman, tied for
fourth place in the pole vault and
unless exceptional talent comes to
the State, he will be the high point
winner in the spring meet along with

splendidly for not having u pole in
their hands this year and no chance
to jump.
Davidson jumped well. though not

Total 113 Inches
Snow at Portland

Portland. March 11-Just as the
weather man predicted. Saturdays
storm died out in the late afternoon
and the weather cleared away for n
fair day today. The storm started
out like numerous "humdingers"
that have visited Portland the pres
cnt winter and up TO :; in the after
noon it looked like another battle
against the drifts. especially 80
around the noon hour when the
wind reached b miles an hour and
kicked the heavy flakes around in
great shape. The snowfall amount
ed to about two inches and brings
the winter snowfall to nearly 113
inches. This is within less than
three inches of the snowfall of the
winter of 1889 and leaves only
that winter and those of 1884.
1867 and 1SS6-7 with greater
amounts of snowfall. The winter of
1857 with a snowfall of 121 inches.
holds the record for the past 80
years and the present winter needs
but eight inches more of snow to
establish itself as the record break

Fair weather is reported by the
weather man for today but it will
probably be somewhat colder than
yesterday. when the thermometer
reached 30 above zero at noon.
