your home one or more relatives over
whom you exercise family control,
you are the head of family and en-
titled, in your income-tax return for
the year 1923, to the same exemp-
tions granted a married person.
These are S2,500 if the net income
was $4,000 or less and $4,000 if the
net income was more than $4,000.
In addition the head of family may
claim a S400 credit for each person
dependent upon him for chief sup
port if such person is under Is years

fectiye.
For example, a son supports in his
home an aged mother and two sisters

come for 1928 was $4,000. He is
entitled to an exemption of $500
plus a s40O credit for each depend
At, total of $3,700. While he pays

BEANS a PROFITABLE CROP

Since the planting of ordinary
crops on the farm, such as wheat,
oats, corn and alfalfa seems to have
proven to some extent not profitable
at the prevailing prices. G. w. Lat
tig, last season, as an experiment
planted four and one-half acres Of
beans, on his Dead OK ranch with the
result that he is fully satisfied that
beans If properly grown will bring
more satisfactory returns. From
the four and one-half acres, he pro-
dueed, 10,500 pounds of excellent
quality of. beans, for which he was
offered 81 cents per pound or a
total value of s6O3.75. an average
of $134.18 per acre. The offer was
not accepted as he expects to keep
them for next years planting. Mr..
Lattig says, beans are no more diff
cult to raise than corn or potatoes.
and viii plant a large acreage next
year.

cd SAYS BOOST
FOR THE BAND

VIII Wells, Astoria, Oregon,
Payette, Idaho. Jan. II, 1924
Friend Will:
Just got through devouring this
weeks Enterprise. Read it through
from cover to cover, including the
advertising. I sure look forward to
Friday evenings so 1 can get all the
news from the old town, for 1 sure
get it in your sheet" The main
reason for this letter is the item
relative to the support of the band
by our commercial club. You notice
4 say 'our" for I have no means
severed my connections with Payette.
But to get back to the point at hand.
1t might be entitled Boost the
Band, for that is just what 1 should
like to see done. Perhaps the boys
in the band can give the outsiders
more authentic information than
any one else as to what has been
done in the past season by the band,
collectively and as individuals, In
the first place, however, please let
me state that what has been done by
the people of Payette County in
supporting the band is greatly ap-
preeiated by all the boys, and L
am sure they thank you all sincerely.
Now for the reasons why that sup
port should be continued. There
are several reasons, among which
are the following If our time was
computed on the scale of wages for
faborer. We spent time
enough in rehersals, free jobs and
so forth to draw a five dollar bill
as pay, to every one dollar bill we
drew for paid playing, In other
words, for the good of the communi- I
ty, we donated $500 worth of time
for every dollar we drew for paid
work Could you expect any labor
ar or mechanic to make even cigar
money. if he worked on that
basis? Another reason is, that in (

SOLD TURKEY TOM FOR $1,000

Well bred poultry for good re-
suits is just as essential as cattle,
hogs, horses or any other live stock,
however this important matter is
often neglected resulting in in
breeding and diminishing the size of
the birds and vitality of the flock, as
a demonstration of this fact, Mrs. S.
E. Hyde, former Payette lady, sold
at the recent poultry show in Cald-
well, last springs turkey tom, for
the sum of 10000. Mrs. Hyde has
given considerable attention to the
breeding of her flock of turkeys,

bird to head her flock.

Ell DAY MALE QUARTET

There is no more popular group
Of entertainers than a male quartet,
when it is good one. The Ell Day
Quartet, which will appear here on
Friday, January 18th at the High
School Auditorium is one Of the fin
est organizations of its kind on the
road today.
Each member Of the quartet is a
vocalist Of experience in recital fields
Each has attained prominence as
soloist, 'but all were chosen with the
idea Of as near perfect blending of
voices as could be obtained. The
result is q perfectly balanced group
Of four extraordinarily fine voices.
Dan Baker. the first tenor and
manager, was formerly a member OF
the faculty Of the Louisville Conserv-
atory of Music. His training has
been entirely American and his
achievements, both as a recitalist and
as a teacher, are a vital testimony
Of what can be accomplished under
the guidance OF American voice
teachers.
Julius Niehaus, second base, is
man of striking personality. His
voice has fine tonal quality and is of
remarkable range reaching from low
Cd" to middle ''F''. He was former
ly soloist at the Third Presbyterian
Church in Chicago, and lately has
done extensive recital work.
Ord Bohannon, second tenor and
impersonator, is well known over
the Lyceum field through his assocfa-
tions with the "Bohaunans" who
toured the United States and Can
ada. He has enjoyed splendid train
ing under the finest teachers of
Europe. In addition to his vocal
artistry, his character deIineations
are well known and always greatly
enjoyed.
Alex Gallon, baritone and pian-
ist, is young concert artist of un-
usual promise, both in vocal attain
nents and in piano-forte as well.
His playing is one of the most en-
ioyable features of the program.
