DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1920.

A FORDSON TRACTOR MAKES RECORD RUN 1 L.J. U Plows 40 Days and Nights; Turns 900 Acres Wiihout Repairs Stopping only for gasoline and oil, a Fordson tractor owned by N. Korpua "1 Ludden, Dickey county, North Dakota, recently completed a record run of forty days. Three operators were assigned to the tractor, each working an eight-hour shift, and thus keeping the tractor in operation twenty-four hours a day. “Nine hundred acres were plowed without one minute'A stop tor repairs,’’ says the affidavit received by the Ford company from the Fordson owner. The tractor was purchased during the summer of 1919. In the spring of 1920, Korpua began his plowing and had already turned 200 acres before he conceived the idea of working the tractor day and night. Electric headlights were Installed, operators were obtained, and with no further special preparations, the little Fordson entered upon what turned cut to be a record run for endurance. No Speed Limits for Cuban Taxis. Havana Cuba claims the distinction of having solved the problem of cheap transportation more satisfactorily than any other city. Operating within a territory whose radius is little greater than a mile, eight thousand Ford automobiles carry one or two persons between any two points in the circle for twenty cents. Under no speed limitations, tiie drivers are left to their own fate, rushing back and forth through the streets, but their" feet and hands have become so highly developed that they can swerve out of one another's way more adeptly than can be imagined. Besides, Cuban upholsterers have transformed the Ford. Mahogany replaces the metal of the toneau, whipcord for the body upholstery, fancy carpet for the floor, and many colored leather for the seats. In a single car may be seen five or six different shades of leather. Twenty colleges and universities of the United States and seven colleges and high schools of Mexico have arranged an interchange of scholarships and are to exchange lecturing professors. Mental alertness is all that is required to win scholarships, and all classes are encouraged to compete. Two million marks to promote scientific research in Gernnmy was the recent gif: of a Japanese millionaire to the German government.

INCOME REPORT IS YOUR NEXT JOB Revenue Officials to Visit Every County in the U. S. in a Few Months WILL GIVE ASSISTANCE In Filling Out Blanks — Two Forms Will be Used This Year by Individuals

Extensive plans for aiding taxpayers in filing their income tax returns for the year 1920 are being made by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to assist in making out the forms. The date of their arrival and the location of their offices will be announced through the press, or may be obtained on inquiry at offices of collectors of internal revenue and branch offices. The services of government experts heretofore offered to city resileirts will be continued. Forms for filing 1920 returns of income will be sent by collectors to perrons who last year filed a return. Failure ’o receive a form, however, does rot ici.'eve a person from bis obligation to file a return within the time preset ibed. Copies may be obtained from offices of collectors of internal revenue, branch offices, post offices and Itanks, and aro expected to be available on or before January 1. Revenue officers assigned, to the work of assisting taxpayers also will be supplied with forms, concerning which, and the various items of income to be included, they will be prepared to answer any and all questions. It has been demonstrated, however, that many questions may be eliminated if the taxpayer, before seeking the assistance of a revenue offle ■•••, will carefully study the instructions cu the form.

The period for filing returns is from ‘ January 1 to March 15, 1921. The tax, this year as last, may be paid in full , at the time of filing the return or in , four installments, the first of which ■ is due on or before March 15, the r second on or before Juno 15. the third < or on before September 15 and thi ' fourth on or' before Decembe® 15. The , first installment must accompany «the 1 filing of the reuirh. ■ Persons whose individual net income ■ for 1920 was $5,000 and less should ask i for Form 1040 A. Those whose in ■ dividual net -income was in excess of ; $5,000 should ask form Form 1040. ; The Bureau of Internal Revenue is ' urging taxpayers not to delay in the . filing of their returns. Merchants and ; business men are casting up their accounts for Hie calendar year, 1920. . With the facts ad figures necessary f to make a correct return fresh in their > minds, the making out of a form soon ■ after January 1 will be an easier task, the bureau points out, than if delayed. ; The requirements of the revenue act relating to returns for the year 192ftare the same as those tor the year : 1919. Every single person whose net ■ incopie. for 1920 was SI,OOO or more ■ and every married person whose [ net income was $2,000 or more must file a return. The exemptions are SI,OOO for single persons anti $2,000 for married persons and head of fam- , ilies, plus an additional exemption of S2OO for each person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support if such person is under eighteen years of age or incapable of self support. A single person may claim an exemption r,i $2,000 as tile head of a family if he is the sole support of one or more relatives living in the same bom; with him, and»if he/cxercises control over household affairs?- Deductions from gross income to which the taxpayer is entitled in arriving at net income are fully explained in the instructions on th. forms. Ihe bureau is emphasizing this yeai that tlie requirement to file a return I rests solely upon a person’s martial status and the amount of his or her net income for the year 1920. Single persons whose net income wim SI,OOO or mere and married persons wiios> net income was $2,000 or more must file a return regardless of whethei their incomes are nori-taxable by roti- - son ;.f their exemptions. The normal tax rate lor 1920 in i per cent, on the .first $4,000 of tfet income above exemption, and 8 per ■ cent, on the remaining net income. The surtax, which is computed without the benefit of the exemption, range, j from 1 per cent, on the amount of net I income between $5,000 and $6,000 t . 65 per cent, on the amount of net in-! come of $1,000,0.00. For the information of taxpayers in filing their rottuns, there has been pre pared by the Bureau of Internal Revenue a scries of short articles on the inoeme tax laws and 1920 repailations, the first of which will a pear on January 3. Errors heretofore made bavbeen noted, and the taxpayer is told i how this year they may be avoided.
