SPECIAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS The little red schoolhouse on the hill is due to stage a comeback. with radio in the role of godfather. According to an announcement received here from Radio Station WLS. Chicago, arrangements have been completed whereby school programs will be broadcast for the use of the pupil and teacher in the rural schools. The first school program will be given Friday afternoon. February 20. from 2 to 2:30, and i there will be a-<imilar program] every Friday afternoon. The pro- | grams, which will embrace addresses by leading figures in all fields as well as high grade en-; tertainment, will touch on all phases of school activities, the aim being to give the country ; school all the advantages of contract in the larger cities. Whenever possible, it is planned t«> have the children take an important part, and groups probably will he brought to Chicago at intervals for this purpose. - The program for February 20. includes talks by B. H. Darrow and Samuel R. Guard, of the Sears -Roeb uc k Agricultural Foundation, songs by Cook county school children, greetings from the state superintendent of schools of Indiana. Michigan and Wisconsin, and a talk on “The Spirit of Lincoln” by Francis G. Blair, superintendent of public instruction for Illinois. The school programs are the result of the joint labors of Mr. Darrow and E. J. Tobin, superintendent of the Cook county (Ill.) schools. The two. close to conditions in-the country schools, conceived the idea of supplying by radio some of the elements lacking Mr. Tobin is chairman of the School Radio Committee in charge of these programs, and is ] assisted by seven Country Lifedirectors who in turn will have i charge of a program. O—INCOME TAX TALK The revenue act of 1924 proj vides that the status of a taxpayer relative to the amount of his personal exemptions shall be determined by apportionment in accordance with the number of months the taxpayer was single, married or the head of a family. Under the preceding act the amount of the exemption to which the taxpayer was entitled was determined by his status as a single person, a married person. or the head of a family on the last day of the taxable year, December 31. of the return was made on the calander year basis, as most are. For example, a taxpayer married on September 30, 1924. would be entitled to an exemption of $1375. For the first nine months he is classified as a single man entitling him to an exemption of s7so’three-fourths of the SIOOO exemption allowed a single person—and for the last there months he is entitled to an exemption of $625—-one-fourth of the $2500 exemption allowed a married nerson. If on June 30, a taxpayer ceased being the head of a family—the support in one household of a relative or relatives being discontinued—he is allowed an exemption of sl7so—one-half cf the exemption of SIOOO granted a single person plus one-half of the exemption of $2500 granted the head of a family. With regard to the S4OO credit for a dependent, the taxpaver's status is determined as of the last day of the taxable year. If, during the year, his support of such denendent ceased, he is not entitled to this credit. v . —.— © .

STATE SAVES $123,000 Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30. — More than $123,000 or enough to pave more than 4 miles has been saved in the purchase of cement for the 1925 construction program of the state highway commissioh, according to anhouncement at the commission’s offices here. f This slaving was possible, says John D. Williams, director, by the early contracting of the 1925 supply which totals 1,230.212 barrels. Since the commission contracted for the cement, “ the pjice has increased 10 cents a barrel, Mr. Williams says that the average price obtained by the commission was $1.75 a barrel, less 10 percent for each. The total amount of cement for 1925 to be used in paving some 216 miles of state roads, will be near $2,500,000, it is believed. The commission several years ago adopted the plan of purchasing the cement used on. state road paving, finding it could not only buy cheaper than the contractor when it came to large amounts, but such action assured a supply when needed.

were delayed due to inability of the contractors to obtain cement when they wished it. Now cement is stored months in advance of the time a road is paved. Highways ’ officials attribute the sudden advance in the cement price to be due to the demand being placed on the market by Illinois and Michigan state highway departments, Illinois alone set contracting 3,000,000 barrels, it is said. o ('LI B SONGS AND YT.LLS z “Sengs and Yells’’ is the title of a book recently published for Indiana Girls’ and Boys’ clubs and being distributed by the Indiana Farmers’ Guide.
