ILLINOIS FARMERS COME TO INDIANA WHILE INDIANA FARMERS GO TO MICHIGAN Indiana farms apparently are more attractive to people of Illinois than ' they are to the residents of Indiana, ' Judging by farm sales recorded lust ' year. Convoraely, Indlaulans, seeking farms In other states, showed a de elded preference for the farms of ( Michigan over those of any other , state. , Nevertheless, the records show an t Increasing demand for Indiana farm j homes in 1921 as compared with tin t previous year. < These lnf< rances are drawn from a 1 report Just issued by the F„ A. Strout : [ Farm Agency, Inc. which sold 48 In 1 dlana farms last year and a total ! throughtout the country of 5,114 with ' [a total value of $20,000,000. This was the biggest year’s bus Incas in farms which has been re , 'corded by that agency In its twenty . lone years of operation. "It shows", says E. A. Strout, President of the | Strout Agency, Inc., "that the de utand for small, general farms proI during diversified crops contains ac five despute the cry of farmers for , legislation to protect their interests.” , Twenty-six of the buyers of In ,'diana farms reported by the agency last year camo from Illinois, while only 11 Indianians are recorded as having purchased farms in their home state. Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio furnished 2 buyers each ami Pennsylvania. Missouri. Kentucky I and Mississippi. < ne each. Fifty residents of Indiana pur chased farms in other states. Os these, 22 went to Michigan, 6 to NewYork. 4 to Wisconsin, 3 to Ohio, 2 'each to Pennsylvania, Maryland. Missouri and Florida and one each to Maine. New- Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Illinois and Virginia. By’ turning out the toes, you throw the weight of the body on the instep, • with bad effects.

"MECCA” IS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT FOR MR. GEST "To present such a hlg show ns ( ’Mecca' al the Majestic theater, Ft. ] Wayne for three days, beginning Sun- . day, Feb. 2«, under present conditions with the cost of everything Increased 3 to almost prohibitive price , is a ter 1 rille undertaking, even if we sell out. ’ at every performance In Ft. Wayne," ' stated Morris (lest, producer. "1 can ' do little better than break even. I > have been producing these beautiful shows for the sheer lovo of seeing . them staged, because I want the ( American public to appreciate the artistic standard of these magnificent offerings. I am not trying to make n dollar for myself. All I want to do and all I have tried to do with those big productions, has been to present a series of gorgeous ami artistic offerings which will appeal to all who lovo beauty. I believe ‘Mecca’ is the crowing achievement of my career, ami now 1 shall take a rest, probably a year’s vacation of a trip around the world.” e INCOME TAX NOTES In filing their income tax returns for the year 1921, taxpayers must remember that taxable income is not necessary cash. Where services are paid for with something other than money, the fair market value of the thing taken in payment is the amount to be included in income. For example the value of merchandise re ceived by a clerk of a grocery store as part payment for his services must be reported as income. Com pensalion paid an empoyee of a cor poration in shares of stock is to be treated as if the corporation sold the stock at is market value and paid to the employee is cash. < Promissory notes received in payment for servii es and not merely as security for such payment constitute income to the amount of their fair market value. Living quarters and meals furnished as compensation for services are to be reported as income I A hotel clerk given his room and his[ meals as part payment for his ser-l vices is required to report as income the amount, he would have to pay for board and lodging elsewhere. The value of quarters, light and heat furnished army officers, whether stationed at an army post or paid from funds allowed for such purpose when officers are stationed elsewhere is taxable income in an amount equal to the cost to the government of furnishing such quarters, etc. Where an officer or enlisted man is allowed certain commutation of quarters, light and heat, the entire amount received for such purposes for the taxable year must be included in gross income. Where living quarters, food, clothing, etc., are provided for an employee solely for the convenience of an employer, thevalue thereof need not be included in the income of the employee. For example, where because of the location and nature of the work, it is necessary that employees engaged in fishing and canning be furnished board and lodging by the employer, the value of such board and lodging may be considered as contributed for the convenience of the employer. Board and lodging furnished seamen in addition to their other compensation is held to be furnished for the convenience of the employer, and the value thereof need not be reported in the return of such employees. Uniforms, rations and medical or hospital service afforded enlisted men or seamen need not be reported as income. These are furnished by the Government for its own purposes, and are not compensation for services. The value of board and lodging furnished employees of hospitals as part compensation for services is to be reported as income. If, however, an employee of a hospital is subject to immediate service on demand at any time during the twenty four hours of the day, and on that account is obliged to Accept quarters [and meals at the hospital, the value [of such need not be reported as in'come. If, the employee is on duty a certain number of hours, and could, if desired, obtain meals and lodging elsewhere than at the hospital and at the same time perform the duties required of him, the ratable value of the board and lodging furnished him is considered additional compensation. The value of quarters, subsistence, laundry, heat and light furnished officers and employees of the Public Health Service constitutes income and must be included intheir returns for the year. To avoid penalty, returns must be filed on or before midnight of March 15. ■—1,1.1 I— I Denver’s mountain park ssytem of i 5,000 acres, located twelve miles from the city's boundaries, had 600,000 visitors last year.

OBITUARY John Albert Brodheck, the son of Clarence and Cora llrodbeck, was horn Aug. K, 1916 and left us for a better land on Feb. 12. 1922, aged 5 year- . H months mid 4 days. Besides his parents he haves to mourn their loss, three brothers, Chester, Hoy and Marlon, three sisters, Fannie, Mil<tre<l and Thelma June, grandparents and many other relatives and friends. He Is now "asleep In the arms of Jesus." We will not. recall him but comfort, ourselves with tills thought: Wherefore should I make my moan Now the darling child Is dead? He to rest is early gone, lie to Paradise Is fled. I shall go to hint, but he Never shall return to me. God forbids his longer stay. God recalls his precious loan. Hi' bath taken him away From my bosom to is own. Surely what. He wills is best; Happy is His will I rest. Faith cries out, "It is the Lord,” Let him do what seems Him good. Be Thy holy name adored, Take the gift a while bestowed. Take the child no longer mine; Thine he is, forever, Thine.

TELLS OF TRIP’ .Johnny Mayer Receives In- t teresting Letter from Mr. < and Mrs. Hocker. a I WHO WINTER IN SOUTH j Beautiful Scenery is I’len- ' tiful—Prices Are High— Visits His Brother. Redondo Beach, Calif., Feb. 26th 1922 ‘ Mr. John Mayer Monroe, Ind.. Dear Friend:—Since I have a little [ time to share from sight-seeing I ( thought 1 had better write you a letter, you being one of our near neigh- ( bora, might be interested in knowing how we are getting on nnd what I think of the great state of California. We left Monroe on Jan. 6th and landed in Iz>s Angeles over Santa Fe. Jan. 9th, 2:45 p. in.. Just 10 minutes lute, were met there by brother. Harve who was Just 10 minutes late also, so we were all just on time. Redondo Beach is 21 miles S.W. from the city as they call it here. However we landed at his home via Ford Sedan in due time for supper and some to spare. This place is about 5000 population, the streets the long way of the town run in circular shape just to fit the bay or • shore of the ocean. There are some ■ fine buildings here for a town of its size, most of the smallar buildings ■ are "Real Estate” offices. The main i business here is grazing on the tourists. Everything is expensive here so far i as I have found but fish and oranges, i two of the most plentiful things this ■ section produces. There are no manufacturers here, nothing to man ufactnre, not much work. Most of • the people here do not want to work. Southern California is Just a place to • stay if you have resources that you can do so, it is the place to spend what you have made and saved in the East. They have no wood, or coal, what fire they have is from oil or gas made from oil. I have not seen a solitary pound of coal since I landed, not because they do not need some, they get along with but very little fire. I thought I would freeze for a while. I rented apartj ments with steam heat, if they had any steam, finally got hold of a gas , stove, a little heater that has no pipe t otake the fumes out of the house so by the time you get warm you must f go out doors into the cold to get your breath, now it is not that cold all the time, but I did see ice about threefourths inches thick, lots of the lemon groves completely frozen trees 1 and all. Hurt the oranges etc., ' amounting to about one-third of the 1 crop. I heard before I came out 3 here that the houses or many of 3 them had no chimneys on. it is not B because they do not need any. I 3 have figured out that they cannot • keep them on. v They have earthquakes here and “The half has never yet been told" " you know the song Johnny, they keep ' that in mind, the first place we came '• to out of Los Angeles where Harve 1 brought us from the train was Ingle--3 wood as we were going through he “ said just getting it fixed up again. • Was shaken partly down by earth--1 quake, the building was down and p that one was down. They say that 3 what houses had chimneys on were ■ either off or turned part way around ■ just above the roof. We keep every- ‘ thing pushed well back on the shelves ■ including the alarm clock we brought along, and constantly keep in mind i where the hole is to get out at in • case old mother earth begins to - shake. A big battleship out in the ' ocean about 8 o’clock in the evening I beings firing for night practice. The • natives thought it was a quake. I did not pay much attention to it I ' guess. I did not know enough. They 1 seemed to be more warned than we. ■ Since that time I have had it more i on my mind. I was down to San Pedro only 12 or 14 minutes. Uncle 1 Sam has eleven of his largest gun ■ boats anchored there, to look at them, the first thought to me, what ' an amount of money wasted, some cost $40,000,000. II figured a little 1 and find that the cost of three of them would build a cement road from ew York to San Francisco. We could sure take some ride on that road. They will not even let us ride on one of the boats and will soon scrap most of them, then it will be all wasted. The eleven spoken of is nothing. While at San Diego I count-[ ed over 50 all steamed up an awful expense. At this time I want to say that I think San Diego is the finest town I ever saw and like others It has clean, wide streets, nice white buildings, no smoke to make them black, might be better it there was smoke, for where there is smoke [

some fire you know, which they sadly need. Tile roads, Johnny, are something great, cement witli a coat of tar on top, have driven car hundreds of niiles all on cement, last Monday, the 13tb, we ilrov# to San Diego, 140 miles, cement till 'the way, of course Johnny we want* d to get Into Mexico. Old Mexico I mean so we went on 18 miles farther to Tie Juana, Mex. The Monte Carlo of America. I cannot describe it but that is where the horse racing, gambling, bull fights and drinking has full swing, every building in one square bouse a saloon, wide open, no front at all, no screen by the bar full of men and women smoking cigarettes, especially the women, not Mexican women either, our own dear American women. Ws used to have what they called "hobo" in U. S„ Johnny, but no h—holes lik that, not 1,2, 3, with it. The church people of Southern California are petitioning the governor of that state where Tio Juana is in also the President of .Mexico, to stop all the high handed business. Brother Harve being a preacher of course, has to write a letter to both officials. He got a reply from the governor written in Spanish, which of course none of us could read. We guessed at a few words and figured out that he said or meant “You attend to your

Actually puts a gas plant in any cook stove. Works equally in old stove as in a new stove. Coal-oil gas positively makes the hottest fire of any fuel. Coal oil is by far the cheapest fuel known. This new wonder oil gas burner will heat a cold oven to baking point in 15 minutes. It gives an even fire which keeps oven heat at even heat. This means a better oven for baking. Easy on a stove, can’t burn out grates or warp stove top, can be installed in a few minutes. Does away with coal bin, wood pile, ashes and dirt. It is one of the greatest inventions of the last 10 years. Cornea under written guarantee and makes good everywhere.

They do most of their bathing at all the beaches out on the sand, they do not get In the water much. They have been talking to me, Johnny, about going into the ocean and take a tumble in the brakers. Oh! no, not mo, "the lx>rd will have to temper the winds of the shorn lamb" before that , old briny deep will get that salt my bide. I put my left hand In the water, that is enough for mo.
