CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-R-Falling
fractions to a cent a bushel, grain
futures prices here today sank to
the lowest levels for the past few
months in all trading pits.
Wheat closed 1-2 to l 1-8 lower
than Saturday, May 70 to 70 1-8,
lowest since last September q,
July 70 1-8 to 70 and September
70 3-8 to IL, lowest of the season.
Corn was 7-S to l 1-8 down, May

Oft, lowest since December a n d
soybeans l 3-8 to l SO down, lowest
since December. Lard closed un-
changed to 5 lower.
Liquidation and short selling
which spread over the market was
attributed to uncertainty regarding
the international situation, with
wal threats in the Pacific and
Balkans as well as the shipping
toll and fears of an attack on Eng
lana unsettllng trade sentiment. A
slight expansion in wheat receipts
at some terminals and sluggish
flour demand also influenced SEN
timent. Independent weakness of
corn early in the session spread
into other pits.
Wheat tried to advance at the
opening in sympathy with firm
ness of securities, gaining as much
as So cent in early dealings, but
this rally faded quickly. Receipts
at the II principal interior termi-
mails totaled 575, 900 bushels COM
pared with 423, 900 a week ago and

Your Federal Income Tar
BY NEA Service

1t sounds absurdly simple, but
one Of the most troublesome things
the income tax people have to deal
with is illegible names. It stands
tc reason that you should have your
name on your blank. and have it
so it can be read Don't use pencil,
lead or indelible. Use pen and ink
Or a typewriter, and PRINT your
name and address carefully in
block letters at the top of the
blank. OF course you sign it in your
ordinary handwriting at the bot.
tom.
And DON'T send money to pay
the tax in the envelope in which
you mail it in. Send a check or a
money order properly made out in
your own name. But don't send
either bills or silver. Why? Be-
cause every time the revenue peo-
pie open a large box of income tax
mail they scoop up a quart or two
Of silver out of the bottom Of the
bag, and they have no way in the
world to know which envelopes it
worked its way out Of.
People will do this: they'll hand
their money to a friend, and say
Get a money order for the
amount of nv taxes and send it
in" The friend does, and the
money order arrives at the inter-
nal revenue bureau separate from
the tax return, and with the
friends name on it. How can the
government people figure out from
that that YOU'VE paid YOUR tax?
Further, if you're sending two
returns in the same envelope, say
for husband and wife, don't make
out a single check to cover boil,
Make separate checks. Otherwise
it's hard, in sorting the returns,
to keep them straight. One is like.
ly to be registered as overpaid,
and the other as not paid at all.
Your Cancelled check or money
order stub is your receipt for hav-
ing paid the tax. Get it, and keep
it. 4

AUTO ACCIDENTS
CUT BY TROOP A
Number Reduced from $50 in
1888 to 112 in 1910 While
State Total Climbs

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. IT,
Troop A of the State Highway
patrol, which operates in more
than o%ne-fourth of North Carolina,
has reduced automobile accidents
from 1870 in 1898 to 112 in 1910
while highway fatalities increased
in the State last year, according
to figures released by the Highway
Safety Division.
The figures were used by Lieut..
Lester Jones, Greenville, troop
commander, to compliment the eff.
fcrts of patrolmen under him to
reduce highway fatalities and to
demonstrate that their efforts were
bringing results.
In 1888 there were 1879 highway
deaths in the troop, in 1899 there
were 40 and last year 112. "The
decrease was shown while auto
mobile registrations in the area
increased" Lieutenant Jones wrote
to his subordinates, (which in my
opinion is conclusive evidence that
we are operating in the right di-
rection to continue to reduce these
fatalities.
1T is my opinion that this type
OF record is far superior to that
OF wholesale arrest. I am re-
questing that all members of this
troop covering the Is counties list
ed lend every effort possible to
continue this record for the year
l94l, and the record can be main
tanned only if each and every
member of this troop exerts all
OF his energy to that end"
