LOWER FEDERAL TAXES
ARE NOW IN EFFECT

ATLANTA, Jan. z,.-Lowered tax
rates contained in the Revenue Law
of 1924 now in effect, provides reduc-
tons for about 100000 citizens who
will have to dig less deeply into their
pockets to run the Federal Government
according to Frank Hampstead, we'll
known tax expert of Atlanta.
Returns under the new Revenue act,
Mr.. Hampstead stated, are required of
every single person whose net income
for 1924 was $1,000 or more, or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more and
OF every married person whose net in
come was $500 or more, or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Under the act of 1921 returns were
required Of every married person
whose income was $1,000 or more The
1924 act provides that if a husband and
wife, living together, have an aggre-
gate net income of $500 or over,
each shall make a return, or the in
come of each shall be included in a
single joint return, in which case the
tax shall be computed on the aggre-
gate net income.
There is no change in the personal
CACIlpllOu IOl SlllSlc pCISOIlS, WHICH Is
81 900, Mr.. Hampstead said Married
persons living with husband or wife,
and heads of families, are allowed an
exemption of $500 regardless Of the
amount of net income, provided they
were married or the heads of families
during the entire year.
No Change In Exemptions
Under the 1921 act the exemption for
married persons and heads of families
was $500 if the net income was 5000
or less and $1,000 if the net income ex-
ceeded $4,000 No change is made in
the provision allowing taxpayer, in
addition to his personal exemption, a
credit of $500 for each person depend
emf upon him for support, if such per-
son is under Is years of age, or inca
pable of se1f-support because mentally
or physically defective.
The Revenue Act of 1924, Mr..
Hampstead pointed out, contains
special provision for reduced taxes on
learned income" which did not appear
in the previous acts. All net income
up to $4,000 is deemed to be earned
income. On this amount the taxpayer
if an individual, is entitled to credit
of Is per cent of the amount OF the
tax. In no case. Mr.. Hampstead show
ed further, will the earned net income
be considered to be more than SlO,OO0.

sew up THE HOLES
in FARM POCKETS
40 FARMER CAN REGULARLY
BUY FOOD AND GRAIN
AND PROSPER

Atlanta, Ga-(Special)-"For fifty
years or more the generality of our
cotton-growing farmers have b3eL
regularly going around with holes in
their pockets, SO to speak, through
which dropped any and all profits that
could and should have come from
their farm operations" IF the South
is to ever reach any reasonable degree
of farm prosperity, those holes must
be sewed up" said H. G. Hastings,
leading agricultural authority and
chairman of the Farm and Marketing
Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber OF
Commerce.
"I have been in practically every state
in our own country, as well as many
foreign countries. l have yet to see
any state or section where food and
grain buying by farmers was the regu
lar practice that did not show rela-
tive poverty on the part OF those
farmers. On the other hand, l have
never been in any state or section
where food and grain was grown sui
ficient at least for home needs where
farm prosperity did not show.
eff he would, the Southern farmer
could be the richest farmer in the
United States instead Of the poorest,
which he is. The reason he isn't
prosperous is because he persists IN
following a farm system that has
proved a failure the world over re-
CARELESS of the particular crop grown.
"The South's dependence on cotton
and the regular purchase of food and
grain from other sections is the real
cause of the Southern farmers lack
of prosperity. And things are not 60
ing to get right with our farmers until
they quit having their smoke houses
in Chicago or Omaha and their corn
cribs in Iowa or Kansas.
"The 1925 cotton crop is going to
be one Of the most expensive to make
we have ever seen. Food, grain, labor
and fertilizer are all high. Every
mound Of food or grain needed by
farm family or working live stock
should be produced on home acres
and that production started in gar
den and in field just as early as sea-
son conditions will permit. Home pro
duction Of every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for home consump-
ton on the farm in 1925 will stop up
the holes in the South's farm pocket,
and it's the only way 70 stop them up.

CROSSWORD PLAY IS PRIZE WINNER
 
Mrs. Frederick X. Hart Awarded
 WOman'S Club Prize

4 large and interested audien assembled in St. Marks pari. rooms yesterday afternoon to her the reading Of plays written 1 members Of the Woman's club, competition for the s25 prize 0 rered by the club.
 The first play, How the Wor. Turned" was clever farce, with strong anti-suffragette bias, bui with situations of real humor ana bright interesting dialogue. The sec ond play, "rhe First Night" de- picted the anguish of young father and mother in preparing the frs meal that their young heir should have at home. The intense stcril- ization of the bottle proved the fathers undoing and he welcomed the beated trained nurse with re- lief. @
 The third play, "13 Vertical" won the prize. 1t was a clever arraign- ment of the young person who be- comes so absorbed in crossword puzzles that she neglects all of her home duties. The play had drama tic suspense. with convincing and highly amusing dialogue. Its au- tor is Mrs. Frederick A. Hart of Stanley street.
 During an intermisslon Miss Barnes of Boston danced in costume a most charming Russian dance. Her accompanist was Miss Ethel Prior of the State Normal school faculty. Miss Barnes is directing the dancing in the "Blucbird" which will be given soon by local talent under the auspices of the Y. W. c. A. Both were presented with handsome cor sages at the conclusion of their number.
 While the votes were being counted, a play was read which was written by the president of the club, Mrs. Buel Bassette. Mrs. Bassette and Mrs. John II. Kirkham are now in Europe and the play recounted some of the amusing incidents of their voyage.
 Much of the success of the after- noon was due to the able and charming manner in which the plays were read by Mrs. Wells. At the end of the meeting the club rendered Mrs. Wells rising vote of thinks. 2"
 A short business meeting pre- ceded the reading of the plays when it was voted to amend the constitu- ton in order to add an assistant treasurer to the officers of the club. Mrs. F. G. Platt also spoke in the interest of the Y. W. c. A. drive which commenced yesterday.
