taxpayers. Each must file an income
tax return and pay a tax on his or her
net income, if such income was in
excess of 1000. The earnings of de.
pendent minor children who have not
been "emancipated' allowed the use
of their earnings by their parents
must be included in the parents re-
turn of income.
Widows and widowers who lost
their spouses during the year 1923
are especially affected. Unless remar-
ried on or before December 81, 1923,
or the head of family, they are allow
ed only the $1,000 exemption granted
a single person.
Widows and widowers are not re,
CURED to show on their individual re-
turns the income Of husband or wife
up to the time of death. The income
of decedent is considered, separate
ly, and a return must be filed by the
executor or administrator of the es-
tate.
The executor or administrator who
makes a return for a decedent is en-
titled to claim for him his full per-
sonal exemption, according to his stat
us as single or married person at
the time of death.
In an Individual return the taxpay-
er's status as of December 81, 1923,
determines the amount OF his exemp-
tions and credits. If on that day the
taxpayer was married and living with
wife or husband, the exemption is
$4,000 if the couples net income for
1923 was $4,000 or less and $4,000 if
the net income exceeded $4,000. If
single, the exemption is $1,000.
If, on December 81, 1928, a single
person, because of some moral or le-
gal obligation, was supporting in his
home one or more relatives over
whom he exercised family control
he was the head of a family and is
entitled to the same exemptions grant
ed married person. If his support Of
such relatives ceased during the year,
he is entitled only to the $1,000 exem-
ption If a dependent dies during the
year, the $500 credit for such a per-
son is not allowed.
Taxpayers are reminded that the
period for filing returns ends at mid
night of March 10. Failure to file with
in the time prescribed renders the de-
linquent liable to heavy penalties.

FARMS USING RADIO
NEAR 10000 MARX
Survey Reveals It's Value in Agri-

Special Farm Information.


The rapidity with which radio has
spread in farming communities is re-
vealed by a recent survey made by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture County agents estimate
that there are approximately 10000
radio sets in 700 counties. This is an
average of fifty seven sets per county.
Applying the average to 1850. agricul-
tural counties, total of more than
$4,000 sets on farms throughout the
country is estimated. The survey
covers every state in the Union.

Talk to me-and / will tell you
your religion maybe | will not call
it by the name you use-but it will
be one of two-either Pessimism or
Optimism.
1t is yours and you have made i
yours. It is obvious that only the lat
ter creed is the right creed.
Regardless that both these creeds
have plenty of facts to support them
here are a few thoughts which may
help you. Pessimism is destructive
Optimism is constructive.
The creed of Pessimism is the be
lief that you will perish like dog,
It is despair and ends in friendless'
ness grief and failure.
Opposite is the optimist who be-
lieves in life lin the divinity and In
commandments of immortal spirit
From it he enjoys the satisfactions
of life and is a Joy to others.
The only enemy man has is himself
Conquer self-and make of your
self an optimist.
Not a blind believer in acquired
friends and goods without effort
but instead an optimist through full
realization that as you practice Chris
tian living and Christian thinking
there is nothing in this world to de
feat you.
Without such spirit you may have
life but you have no Christian relig-
ion.

On the last Monday evening of each

farm bureaus and farm Information,
which will be given from tbs to 7:45

has been arranged in cooperation
with the New York State Farm Blu

That the farmers appreciate the

the attention of the management Of
WGY through letters. H. A. Williams,

FIRE LOSSES

LET her go, she is insured! What
a consolation in time of fire! The IN
surance company will pay the loss. :
What an error; your neighbors and
friends reach down into their pockets
and pay the loss. The insurance com
pany is the middle man only, acting
as collector and distributor, retaining
about half of the premium fund to
cover expenses and small profit.
The Burned property is gone forever
and about one-half of the premium
contributions are gone also. These are
two heavy losses.
The burning of a place of employ.
ment particularly results in many
serious, incidental losses. Employ
ment and wage payments stop, often
bringing want and suffering to the
workmens families. If forced to seek
employment in another town, it
means moving, interruption of school
ing, sacrifice of home and associa-
tiOnS.
The employers income and profits
cease, his business stops, his custom
ers go elsewhere, his best workmen
find other employment, his business
organization, built up with infinite
care and patience disintegrates,, and
when the factory is rebuilt, he must
begin all over again. Often the fire
robs him of valuable drawings, re-
cords, accounts, models and pictures
impossible to replace. If the business
was done largely on borrowed CAPITAL
the fire may be the last straw to
drive him into bankruptcy.
Employe and employers and falni
lies alike lose in fire, but the ccm
munity also loses heavily. Because OF
the many fires, the city must build
up and keep up an expensive water
works system and fire department
The cost of these two about equal the
direct property losses. Burned build
ings pay no taxes, and other property
must bear correspondingly lager tax
burden to defray city expenses.
Residence fires usually involve
losses of paintings, pictures, jewelry
heirlooms and keepsakes, especially
valuable because of associations. For
such insurance is but a poor recon-
pense.
The most deplorable loss is still to
be mentioned. About 5000 human be.
ings perish each year in fires in the
United States. and over 1900 more
are injured and disfigured. Wiscon
sins annual fire toll in precious lives
runs from rs to 100 personal injuries
through fires from ITO to $50.
Wisconsin's property loss through
fire in 1922 was $1O,542,O85.0O.
Fire means loss, Toss and more loss
all along the line. Fire cannot bring
profit to any one except the crook
who burns to defrauo the insurance
companies, sets fires in utter disre.
gard of property values involved or
human lives imperiled.
Why do honest people have SO many
fires when three-fourths of them can
be prevented by the exercise of ordi
nary care in building, equipment
maintenance and protection? Stop
this great drain on our natural and
created resources, save these human
torches Industrial Commission.

The thirty millions of acres now
unemployed in Florida would yield I'm.
der ordinary cultivation an annual pro
fit of one hundred dollars an acre
that's low estimate.
That alone would be three billion
dollars a year. five per cent on six
ty billions of dollars. Under inten
sive cultivation, with irrigation and
proper fertilizing. the thirty million
unused acres of land in Florida would
easily produce net profit of $500 an
acre, enough to pay off all public debt
OF the United States with ease in less
than four years.
That is real wealth, and all that is
required to develop it is more good

 Enforcing Rules

FLORENCE, Ala, June2-In ex- ecutiye session today the Florence Rotary club discussed the question of standing by the authorities of the Flor ence Normal school and aiding them in enforcing the rules of that institution in regard to caring for the young women students who are housed throughout the city in the homes of different people. The subject was brought up by Presi- dent Willingham of the school, who told of several instances where it had be- come necessary to send girls home for slipping out at night and going joy rid ing and he made it clear that he must have the cooperation of the people of Florence toward removing the tempta- tions from these girls if the school were to carry on as it should.
 To this the club pledged itself after earnest talks by number of the mem- bers. A similar appeal will be made to the other clubs of the city and de termined effort on the part of the cit izenship will be made toward making it possible for the school rules to be upheld.
