FOR THREE
WEEKS :
Ray Lambert VIII Spend
$500 to Shape Up
Pathways.

The municipal golf course in Brack-
cnridgc Park was closed Wednesday
for three weeks in order that the city
may make extensive improvements,
considered necessary by the newly
formed golf association. Ray Lambert,
park commissioner, announced.
Several different kinds of fertilizer
have been ordered for the greens and
the players will be kept off until the
grass has had a good start, Mr.. Lam
bert said.
Approximately $1,000 will be spent.
In addition to fertilizing the. course,
rough sections VIII be lcveled and
more sand placed in traps.
The first nine holes will require the
most work as they are used much
more than the last nine.
"There has been a big increase in
the number Of players on the Brack-
enridge course in the last few weeks
and the dry weather has prevented the
grass from flourishing," Commissioner
Lambert reported.
The golfers play as much in the
winter as they do during the summer
and l want the course to be in per-
feet condition for the tourists" he
said.

One couple was sitting in parked

paused for a moment as she came to
the car in which sat her lover.
Discarding her escort like a worn

rival.

battle cry. Then she sank white
teeth in the flesh of her rivals arm
until blood spurted.
Then she tore the front out of the

Seeing that the girls aim was to
strip the girls clothing from her body
in vindication Of her war cry, the
two men joined in the fray, trying to
separate the girls.
They had to fight in self defense.
SECOND ROUND.
The four struggling figures were
rolling on the sidewalk when Patrol

came to the rescue.
In the police station, the fray was
renewed when the two women we're

time. Before Turnkey Kelly could
stop the second battle, they were roll

was streaming from numerous bites
and scratches on each, when police

the matron's office, before they were
placed in separate cells.
All four were booked on "affray."

YOUR INCOME TAX

The revenue act of 1924 provides
that the status of a taxpayer rela-
tive to the amount of his personal
exemptions shall be determined by
apportiOnment in accordance with
the number of months the taxpayer
was single, married, or the head of
family. Under the preceding act
the amount of the exemption to
which the taxpayer was entitled was
determined by his status as a single
person, a married person, or the
head of family on the last day Of
the taxable year, December 81, if the
return was made on the calendar
year basis, as most are.
For example, a taxpayer married
on September 30, 1924, would be en-
titled to an exemption of $1,375. For
the first nine months he is classi-
he'd as a single man emitting him to
an exemption of S75O-three-fourths
of the $1,000 exemption allowed a
single persOn-and for the last
three months he is entitled to an ex-
emption of S625-one-fOurth of the
$4,000 exemption allowed a married
person.
If on June 80, a taxpayer ceased |
being the head of a family-the sup
port in one household of a relative
)r relatives being discontinued-he

finally to the Eastern States Egg
Mash as the pullets reached matur-

My entire loss from all causes

amazing rate so that I was able to
furnish three pound broilers the 10th
of July. These broilers, having open
range at all times, were fed entirely
on Eastern States Scratch and

to fatten them, but when dressed, |
they were plump and yellow, and !
upon opening, showed fine layer of |
fat seldom to be found on broiIers of |
this weight.
