Taxpayers should note that un-
der the Internal Revenue Code the

be prorated where a change of

year, and that these credits are al
lowable not only for the purpose of

month is to be disregarded unless

married on July 20, 1889, and lived
together during the remainder of
the year would be entitled to per-
sonal exemption of $2,208.34 in a

S0phomOres Celebrate

Il have never seen more grace

King after members Of the Sopho-
more English Glass had presented
"a play celebrating Washington S
Birthday.
The play began with George
Washington, Jr. otherwise known
as Harold Hopkins) examining the
new hatchet he had received for
his birthday. Seeing a very beau
tiful cherry tree (Lee Slaughter to
you) he decided to try his hatchet.
He began his task of chopping
down the tree. Each time the
hatchet hit the tree there came a
heartbreaking moan from the tree.
Finally, it fell to the ground.
When George Washington, Sr.
(Martha's bay, Speedy found out
his favorite cherry tree had been
destroyed he angrily asked George
how it happened.
Hanging his head, he truthfully
murmured, I cannot tell a lie.
Pop, I did it, with my own little
hatchet.'

Industry has developed a fine
statistical record which guides its
future operations. No one of the
100000 farmers can develop such
set of records for his own guild
ance because he has only his own
figures. Census records of 7,000,-
600 farms combined is the only
complete national picture of farm
operations to tell the farmer which
way he is going, and to provide
students of the serious farm prob
lem with the facts to meet this
problem"
Mr.. Cooch urges all the farmers
of this section to cooperate with
the enumerator so that a complete
record of farm operations in this
section can be made. He suggests
that farmers acquaint themselves
with the essential facts about their
1889 operations such as number of
acres farmed; number of acres
owned or rented; value of produc-
tion of each item; number and
classification of all livestock; guam
tity and value of all products in
cluding milk, butter, eggs, and even
the volume of foods produced and
consumed on the farm. The enum-
orator will want to know the num-
ber of acres in use for each crop,
pasture land, land lying idle or fal-
low, woodland, amount of a farm
mortgage, interest rate, expendi-
ture for feed, farm implements, au-
tomobiles, trucks, building mater
ials and equipment, fertilizer and
gasoline.
Mr. Cooch, urges farmers to get
help from their county agents many
of whom are able to supply sample
copies of the farm schedule.
