lions political discussions in the French news papers. He knows that to be entirely happy the Frenchman must talk politics, war. It is when no military secrets are revealed bit arbitrary.
 Restoration of free speech came about as byproduct of the debate on French censorship and propaganda The information, radio and censorship services have been separate entities since the war started. The lack of coordination has tended to develop red tape and annoy correspondents with the result that France has a bad press" abroad. Now Minister of Propaganda with seat in the Cabinet will be appointed All factions in the Parliament criticized the government for not getting better pub licity. Ex-Premier Blum quoted statistics not long ago to show that German information received five times as much space in the American press did the French. This, it is hoped will now be changed.
 There is only stipulation. Daladier warns that political debate in the press must not be carried to the point where it becomes so acrimonious as to endanger national harmony Thus the editors Of France, like their brothers in England, put their good behavior.
 This return to journalistic freedom compensates in some degree for the other restrictions Frenchmen must bear a matter of military necessity. During the World War the French press free politically Efforts to political in Britain meet with rapid rebuff Now the newspapers of the Allied countries stand head and shoulders above the troled organs of the dictatorships in Germany, Rus sia and Italy. It has thus been demonstrated that it is not necessary either to misinform leave informed a people conducting for their istence.

Personal Exemptions that Are Allowed in Mak-
 ing Statement

In addition to the personal ex- emption of $1,000 for a single per son or married person not living with husband or wife and $2,500 for married persons living together and for heads of families a tax payer is entitled to a credit of $400 for each dependent, defined by income-tax law and regula- tions as a person under IS years of age or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically de- fective. The term mentally or physically defective" means, hot only cripples and those mentally defective but persons in ill health and the aged.
 In order to be entitled to the $400 credit, the taxpayer must fur nish the dependent his or her chief support. The credit is based upon actual financial dependency and not mere legal dependency. For example a father whose children receive half or more of their sup port from trust fund or other separate source is not entitled to the credit.
 Neither relationship nor residence is factor in the allowance of the $400 credit for dependent. The taxpayer and the dependent may be residents of different cities. If husband and wife both contrib ute to the support of a dependent. the $400 credit may be taken by the one contributing the chief sup port and may not be divided be- tween them.
 A single person who supports in his home an aged mother is en- titled not only to the $40O credit for a dependent but also to the personal exemption of S2.5OO as the head of a family. A widower supporting under similar circum- stances a dependent child under Is years of age also is entitled to the personal exemption of s2,5O0 as the head of family, plus the s4O0 credit for a dependent.
 Under the Internal Revenue Code both the personal exemption and the credit for dependents safe re- quired to be prorated where the status of the taxpayer changed dur ing the year. a-s-s.ss.

The Presidential Myth
(NeW York Times)


 One wonders, in this Presidential year if the old tradition that any American boy aspire to be President and that every American boy would like to be still holds water. The historical record throws doubt on the first statement More than half cur Presidents have been born in the three States of Virginia, Ohio and New York. The ideal Presidential candidate must come from populous doubtful State. For example he is worth more as vote e-getter if he comes from New York which is uncertain, than if he halls from Pennsylvania, which is nearly always Republican, from Texas, which goes Democratic with astronomical regularity. Some definite disqualificatiohs having nothing to do with fitness for the office easily to mind. To men tion just one, conspicuous success as a money getter is a drawback.
 There must be limits too to the desire for high office One can understand almost any boys ambi- tion to be a trapeze performer in a circus, or an arpane pilot locomotive engineer, detec- tive, or a major league pitcher But surely there must be multitudes of grown-up boys who are not alured by thoughts of position which robs man of all privacy for four years, which permits him no real vacations or uninterrupted rest, which exposes him to the pesterings of iob-hunters and favor seekers which makes him the national Scape goat for bad weather foreign wars, crop failures and acts Of God which makes him by turns bogyman and a Great White Father, and which in almost all cases shortens bis life s-s
 Few men have shied from the Presidency when it seemed to be coming their way Yet it is well to remember in this controversial year that this is a highly specialized job for highly specialized type of leader. Out of the many million males-not to mention females-of Presidential age in given Presidential year the field down very soon to dozen or so "availabes." And the final victor from this small group will be asked and expected to be more and accomplish more than is within the powers of any human

THE FARMER FEELS THE WAR

Probably no branch of the American economy has been more affected by the war than agriculture. So far according to the Department of Agricultures current Demand and Price Situation the effects have been largely unfayorable
 It is true that agricultural exports during the first five months of the showed gain of $54,- 100000 over year previous This increase more than accounted for, however by rise of $94o00oo0 in cotton exports as a result not of the but of subsidies planned before outbreak of hostilites. Exports of other farm products suffered materially, their decrease of S4000D000 being equivalent to a drop of more than 18 percent.
 Compared with the year before, farm exports in the last four months of 1889 were larger not only in cotton but also in lard and meat products, but they were less for tobacco grains and fruit. The increase in lard and meat products however, is mis- leading. It took place largely before the beginning of the war and the gain over the corresponding month of 1888 has fallen off since the start of the war as a result of the curtailment of imports by the Allies Tobacco and fruit exports have also been sharply curtaled by the efforts of the Allies to-cut down their foreign purchases, or to make them in favored countries The decrease in grain exports is not significant since these had already become unimportant
 Although farm export products have been ad- versely affected the has not touched very much those having primarily domestic market, such as dairy and poultry products and truck crops, nor are these likely be much affected in the future On the other hand, it is improbable that the pros poets agricultural exports will improve while the war continues. Nevertheless, reduced foreign de- mand for agricultural products incident to the Eu ropean war does not necessarily that the all effect of the on demand for American farm products will be unfavorable. Increased foreign talk ings of industrial products will furnish additional jobs for domestic consumers; the resulting increase in domestic demand may than counterbalance the retarding effects of war on farm products ex- ports"

FRIDAY, MARCH IS

Heart and Home: Closer associa- tion among members of a family will be noticeable as the year ad- vances Women will find special pleasure in entertaining relatives, and in devoting attention to their households. Unselfishness will be more evident than formerly among folk who will reflect something of the worlds grave anxieties. The wise will make the most of every happy day.
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will become something accepted as last ing, when trade and commerce grow each week. There will be a trend toward speculation. Money spending will be as generous as before the depression which will be forgotten by all except those who carry big responsibilities and those who are devoid of foresight. The young will enjoy a period of good fortune with little care for the morrow
 National Issues: The counsel of the older statesmen should be ac- cepted at this time when the na- tional election is the political bal ance. Financial problems will press heavily upon executives in Wash ington as heavy expenses in the preparedness program add to the public debt Taxes inevitably will be increased before the end of the year, if the stars are rightly inter preted.
 International Affairs: Sensation al facts regarding the toll of life in the European War will cause the spread of the revolutionary spirit in nations ruled by dictators. Cen sorShip will be even more severe than it has been. Secret negotia- tions in which the United States takes part may hasten the exten- sion of aid in some form to Fin- land and the Allies
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unusual activity which should bring suc- cess and prosperity. Employees may expect promotion. Women will be especially lucky.
 Children born on this day may be industrious, persistent and in- tuitive They should be highly in- telligent and able to attain great success in life.

Bronze grass should be used
more extensively on farms for both
hay and pasture purposes, accord
ing to the county agents office,
st. Cloud. This is especially true
in 1910 when under the AAA pro-
gram it is possible to earn two
units of soil building practice per
acre when alfalfa and bronze grass
are sown in equal amounts per
acre for hay and pasture purposes.
Each unit of soil building practice
pays $1.50, therefore with a return
of $500 per acre as a soil build
ing practice it is possible to receive
slightly more than the cost of the
seed for putting in this mixture.
That doesn't hold true with some
of the other grasses such as clover
and alfalfa when put in alone.
Bronze grass does well both on high
and low land. It is drouth resist
ant, is winter hardy, and is long
lived perennial with creeping un-
foreground root stocks. This last
advantage makes the crop soil bind
ing and resistant to tramping by
animals and also to erosion on
rather steep hill sides.
Bronze grass as a pasture Is
highly nutritious and palatable and
is one of the earliest pastures in
the spring. 1t is ready for graz
ing one of two weeks earlier than
timothy and will carry out well in
the fall. 1t should be sown at the
rate Of Is to 20 pounds per acre
when planted alone. Because of
the lightness of the seed it should
not be seeded with other grasses
but should be sown separately. In
planting it is well to keep in mind
that the seed should not be put
down too deep. Generally planting
at " inch of depth in moist soil is
satisfactory if mixed with alfalfa.
A $3.50 combination might be
reached by putting in II pounds of
alfalfa and 6 pounds of bronze
grass. If this seeding seems too
heavy for some folks, both amounts
can be reduced proportionately.
