man, is put on trial in Dalton, Ga,
charged with the murder in 1899 of
r. II. Hannah then chief of police
of Dalton.
Hannah's search carried him thou
sands of miles to distant parts of the
United States. Time and time again
he ran down tips that the slayer
of his father had been captured.
Thousands of circulars were broad
cest over the country.
Several weeks ago he received a
telegram from Gainesville, Tex, say
ing that a man answering the de-
scription of Jones had been caught.
Young Hannah made the trip to
Texas, a bit skeptical, as he had made
hundreds of other trips on like infor-
nation, only to return disappointed.
But the man in Texas answered the
description. Hannah said he believed
he was the Bill Jones who had killed
his father, and had him brought back
to Georgia to stand trial

Points Worth Remembering in the
Use Of Commercial Fertilizer
(By o. B. Whipple)

ground bone should be bought only on
guarantee of their fertilizer value.
The better grades carry as much as
25 to 800 of phosphorfc acid and 5
to SO of nitrogen.
Rock Phosphates-These are sold
both as simple phosphates and super
phosphates. The latter form is the
more valuable on account Of its being
more readily available to plants.
These super-phosphates vary in COM
position carrying from 12 to 1870 of
available phosphoric acid and from 8
to $50 insoluble.
Potash.
This element is of value to plants
in developing stems and leaves. 1t
is also known to hasten maturity and
when used in connection with nitro
gen it tends to counteract the tend,
ency to late growth induced by nit
rogen and without interfering with
the early effects of this fertilizer. 1t
is a relatively slow acting fertilizer
which may be applied in early spring
at the time of soil preparation. 1t is
fertilizer of special importance on
light types of soil.
Source of Commercial Potash.
Muriate of Potash-This is a manu-
featured high grade potash salt carry
ing about 500 of actual potash and is
most extensively used of potash ferti-
lizers.
Kainite-This is a crude product
of potash mines and carries about
1870 of potash. 1t is used chiefly
near the source of supply as the more
concentrated potash salts are more
economical when shipped long dis
tances.

On Monday evening the debaters
took opposite sides on the question,
and again the unanimous decision

YOUR INCOME TAX

The exemptions under the revenue
act of 1924 are $1,000 for single per
sons and $500 for married persons
living together. and heads of families.
In addition a s4OO credit is allowed
for each person dependent upon and
receiving his chief support from the
taxpayer, II such person Is under 1s
years of age or incapable Of self sup
port because mentally or physically
defective.
The normal tax rate under the rev,
enue act OF 1924 is 2 per cent on the
first $4,000 OF net income in excess OF
the personal exemptions, credit for
dependents, etc, per cent on the
next $4,000. and per cent on the bal.
ance. Under the preceding act the
normal tax rate was per cent on
the first $4,000 OF net income above
the exemptions and credits, and 8 per
cent on the remaining net income
The revenue act of 1924 contains n
special provision for reduced taxes
which did not appear in previous
laws All net income up to $4,000 is
considered earned income" On this
amount the taxpayer Is entitled to a
credit Of 25 per cent OF the amount of
the tax.
For example, a taxpayer, single and
without dependents, may have re.
ceived in 1924 a salary Of $4,000 and
from n real estate transaction a profit
of 81 000 His total not incomp wap
IS 900. without the benefit Of the 25
per cent reduction his tax would be
$50. His actual tax is $50 From his
net income OF $4,000 he Ia allowed a
personal exemption OF $1,000; the tax
OF per cent on the first $4,000 Is
$50, one-fourth of which, of 500 may
be deducted.
