Deere was born February z, 1904
in the village of Rutland, VT, the
son Of William Ryland Deere,
an English merchant tailor, and
Sarah Yates Deere, daughter of
a British soldier who had fought
in the Revolution and then
stayed in America to become
a citizen of the new republic.
Soon after his birth the family
moved to Middlebury and in 1912
the elder Deere left his family
there and returned to England,
for reasons which are unknown.
Unknown also is his fate for he
never came back. So Sarah
Deere continued to operate the
shop until she died in 1926. + :
In the meantime young John
Deere had apprenticed himself
to Capt. Benjamin Lawrence of
Middlebury to learn the black
smith trade. His apprenticeship
ended in 1925 and for the next
few years he worked for others
or in his own shops in various
parts of Vermont. During these
years Deere varied his routine of
ordinary blacksmithing, such as
shoeing horses "all around for
a dollar, by designing and MAX
ing tools - shovels, hoes and
pitchforks. ALI of them had a
ready sale for the Vermont
farmers found them well-made
and easy to handle. (Later in his
life Deere went back to Vermont
and was delighted to find some
of the tools he had made still in
use after nearly go years..
The "Western Fever"
During these years also he had
seen many of his friends and
neighbors, infected by the "West-
ern fever" pack up their goods
and start out to seek their for
tunes in the Middle West. But
50 far that Western bug hadn't
bitten him. In. 1927 he had mar
ried Denarius Lamb, a girl from
the town of Granville, and she
had presented him with three
daughters and son. The needs
Of his growing family brought
sharply to his attention the ne
cessity for improving his for
tunes and the turning point in
his career came in 1884.
In that year Maj. Leonard An
drus sold his store in Vermont
and went out to Illinois where
he settled at a place called Grand
Detour on the Rock river. Upon
his return to Vermont he told
his friends such glowing tales
of the possibilities of this new
country that many of them were
persuaded to accompany him
when he went back the following
year.
Eventually John Deere all 0
caught the "Western fever and
in 1886 he set out for the Illinois
country, leaving Demarius, who
was expecting another child, to
follow him after she was able
to travel. Deere set up a black
smith shop in the little settle
nent of Grand Detour and soon
aad all the work he could handle |
-shoeing horses and doing repair
work of one kind or another. As
ne listened to his customers talk
about their plowing troubles he
began thinking more and more
about a solution for them. But

until one day when he visited

A Mexican CaballerO.

CTRAIGHT Graustark is the
~ life story Of Gen. Jose Gonzalo
Escobar, who may be repatriated
by the Mexican decree Of amnesty
for political exiles. He found his
wife at a beauty contest-a Texas
contest, too. She was the famously
beautiful Conception Goeldner of Ell
Paso and Mexico City.
The handsome, hard-boiIed and
bucko General Escobar, staged in a
long and glamorous plot of amour
and fighting, was one Of General
Gales best officers. He was the
hero Of the "shef of death" battle
in 1925, suppressing the De La
Huerta revolt. He suppressed the
1927 uprising and rode into Mex
leo on a handsomely caparisoned
white horse. with the bands playing
and the crowds cheering.
Two years later, he hid in a clump
of soap weed, shed his gaudy uni
form, medals and all, put on a
poems sOiled dungarees and strOlIed
across the national boundary line
under the eyes Of his enemies. He
had started a revolution of his own.
It didn't jeIl.
His beautiful wife traced him to
a house in Prince Arthur street in
Montreal. With lawyer, she ar
rived to tell him she had started
divorce proceedings. He could turn
on charm by just pushing a button.
Sonora Escobar wilted into his
arms, and it has been a Ruth and
Boaz story ever since. The divorce
proceedings were withdrawn. His

him when he fed.

The boys were resolved to wipe away the blot of their former defeat by this same team. and took the lead early in the game and held it, but in the last inning some thing slipped up. Either pitcher Bockman went to pieces or the girls suddenly developed an ap- palling ability to whack the ball for they overlook the six run lead of the boys and finished the game with a score of F to 16 in their favor. And are those boys delighted? Well, you guess. De- spite the persistent efforts of the reporter, Manager Eddie Shedley of the boys team could not be reached for an interview.

Income Tax Re- turns Must Be
 Filed March l5

Approximately one hundred thou sand federal income tax return forms for the year 1886, which must be filed on or before March Is, are being mailed to individ- ual taxpayers today, it was an- nounced by Thor w. Henricksen, Acting Collector of Internal Rev enue.
 Except for a few minor chang. es in the form, covering the re- porting of dividend payments in- come which is now subject to normal tax rates, the forms are similar to those used by taxpay- CTS who filed returns for the year 1885. The normal rate of tax of four percent for individuals re- mains the same, as do the sur tax rates in the lower brackets. The Revenue Act of 1886 now in effect, however, covering 19- 36 incomes, has increased the surtax rates in the upper brack- cts of income.
 The filing of duplicate returns on the green forms is again a re- quirement under the law and each taxpayer is being furnished such duplicate copy which must be filed with the original on March Is. This requirement be- came effective in 1885 and is con- tinued under the present law.
 Corporation income tax forms are not, as yet, available for dis tribution to taxpayers but will be mailed immediately upon their receipt from the government print ing office. The new revenue act requires corporations to pay a graduated rate of normal tax ranging from eight to fifteen per cent, replacing the former flat rate of thirteen and three-quar- ters per cent. All corporations are also subject to the new ex- cess profits tax and the surtax on undjstributed profits, the rat es of which range from seven to twenty two percent.
 The statutory filing period for all calendar year income tax re- turns begins on January l and ends on March IS. Taxpayers are privileged to file their returns

Congress is almost wholly oc-

to prevent it from becoming an

sion. Tax reform seems nearer to
achievement than at any time in
the last four years. There is def
mite sentiment in favor of a more
conciliatory general policy toward
industry. There is a growing
feeling that we have gone too far
with regulation, especially as it
affects the security markets and

on foot to encourage business to
spend on a big scale-of which
the most significant development
is the Presidents announced poll

recent talks with utility execu.

The principal question now is,
Can Congress act fast enough and

important change to take place
