Push Old Home Week along by joining the club. It means more now than any other time. Make this the big week. * A Texas judge has ruled that a man has no right to beat his wife when she refuses to vote as he wants her to. He must expect us to buy them too. Specialists declare that if an autopsy is held on Hickman, it will be found he has white spots on the brain. Never thought of that but black spots on his heart won’t surprise us any. The flapper is passing and by the end of 1928 she will be all out of luck. The new girl is to be conservative I and will have an eye out for a career. Alright girls, we’ll like yt>u any way. whatever your disguise. The Old Home Week Club is going nicely and within a week should have a’ largp membership. Don’t put it off. Get in the game. Help make this the very best community in the wilrhLby showing that we pull together for the general good. We never heard of a campaign like the one now on here for the organization of the Old Home Week Club, but we can't see any reason why it shouldn’t go over a thousand per cent. Its fair, its not burdensome and it means so much to every one. Remember there is no liability connected with your joining the Old Home Week Club. You do not thus subject yourself to further assessment and if for any reason the plan does not carry through, every penny of the money is to be returned to you. Governor Jackson will not resign. He no doubt feels the effort to secure the office was too great for him to throw it aside just because he has been discredited in court. About the only way you will ever get rid of this crowd is to beat them in the election and this is a very good year to start that job. Hiram Evans, emperor and imperial w izard of the ku klux klan has ordered the name changed to Knights of the Great Forest and that on and after last midnight, “no mask or visor shall be worn upon the helmet or regalia of any klansman,” which will remove two of the most distasteful things abolut the order. It has caused sufficient grief however that these changes •will scarcely prevent the continued decay of the order. A request for funds to aid a needy and deserving family as published last evening should appeal to you if you are fortunately situated so you can help. The father is out of work, the mothjer is frail and they have five children who were actually found suffering; for food and fuel. If you wish to give and will send the money to this office we assure'you it will be used fur the purpose of aiding this family and In such a manner as to do the greatest good. Four out of five Chicago women •laterviehvecl by the Tribune on the q-uestiofu as to wether or not thjy

would like Colonel Lindbergh as a husband, gave emphatic "noes" as their answer, while the fifth said he would have to propose even If it Is leapyear. The four object to him because he is too popular but we would be willing to bet a wooden nickel that he could have any of the five if they are single and if Lindy coaxed a little. In fact we don't just see how any woman could kee# from loving him. Governor McCray did wrong of course but he met his punishment like a man and the developments recently that he refused to sell out at a time when ten thousand dollars must have looked as big as one of his cattle barns, has raised his standing several hundred per cent. An Indianapolis paper the other day printed a large photo of him as he emerged from the court house after the Jackson trial and across ran the headline, “The man who couldn't be bought.” It was about the best comeback we could Imagine. How about your income tax report? You know its very important that you make it before March 15th. A federal representative has been here the past couple of days to aid you and if you neglect this duty you are subject to various punishments, in J eluding a double rate, a fine and even imprisonment. Single persons who had a net income of *1,500 or more and married persons with a net income of $3,500 or more, must file returns. Forms may be secured from the collector of revenue in any district. If your net income was not more than $5,000 and derived from salaries or wages, ask for form 1040A, otherwise you need form 1040. The rate is one and a half per cent on the first $4,000 In exces of personal exemptions and credits, three per cent on the next $4,000 and five per cent on the balance. Better get it ready now. — o — ************* * BIG FEATURES * » OF RADIO * H *********** s*> TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK—Hookup 8:00 pm. —Eveready Orchestra. WJZ—Hookup 8:00 pm.

Tips For Taxpayers No. Eight While all net income up to $5,000, whether actually earned or not, Is considered as earne dnet income for the purpose of computing the 25 per cent credit, hundreds of returns are received showing net income in excess of $5,000. part of which was earned income and part of which was not earned. Fallowing is an example of how to compute correctly the tax due ou such a return: A taxpayer, married and with no dependents, received in 1927 a salary of $4,000 and from a real-estate transaction made a net profit of $4,000. His personal exemption is $3,500. The tax rate is 1% per cent on the first $4,000 in excess of such exemption, and 3 per cent on the remainder: Net income SB,OOO Less personal exemption 3,500 Balance taxable income 4,500 1)4% on first $4.000 60 3% on the remaining SSOO 15 Total tax 75 But of the SB,OOO net income $5,000 Is cinsldered as earned net income. From $5,000, therefore, is deducted the personal exemption of 3,500, the tax on the remaining $1,500, at 1)4 per cent amounting to $22.50. Deduct one fourth of $22.50, or $5.63, from $7, leaving payable a tax of $69.37. o — K *¥*********» * PETERSON NEWS * * By * * Miss Jeanette Spade * £«**** ****** g Ed Leimenstall, Dale Johnson and I Ray Schlichkam spent Sunday after-] noon in Preble.
