One of the best ways to help is to encourage buying at readjustment prices. 'Every buying and selling transaction helps to bring back pros perity; helps the retailer clear his shelves; helps the manufacturer sell to the retailer, and-It helps the man who works for the manufacturer-so that man can buy from the retailer and' his. purchase can move again in the same beneficial circle. Therefore, I say 1922 will be a real advertising year! NO MORE TARES ON DOPES AFTER JANUARY FIRST The following statement is issued by the Actins Collector of Internal Revenue, W. R. Bradley, District of South Carolina. In response to numerous inquiries, taxpayers are advised that certain taxes, among them the so-called "nui sance" and "luxury" taxes, are repeal el effective January 1, 1922, by the Revenue Act of 1921. Patrons of soda-water, fountains, ice cream parlors and "similar places of business" no longer are required to pay the tax of 1 cent for each, 10 cents or fraction thereof on the amount expended for sodas, sundaes, "or similar articles of food or drink." The small boy may rejoice in the fact that an ice-cream cone doesn't cost an extra penny. The ta imposed by the Revenue Act of 1921 is on "be verages and tlhe constituent parts thereof" and is paid by the manufac turer. The tax on the transportation of freight and passengers is repealed, effective January 1, 1922, also the tax paid by the purchaser on amounts paid for men's and women's 'wearing apparel (shoes, hats, caps, neckwear, shirts hose, etc.) in excess of a speci fied price. Taxes imposed under Section 904 (which under the Revenue Act of 1918 included the taxes on wearing apparel) are now confined to a 5 per cent tax on the following articles: carpets, on the amount in excess of $4.50 a square yard; rugs, on the amount in excess of $6 a square yard; trunks on the amount in excess of $35 each; valises, traveling bags, suit cases, hat boxes used by travelers end fitted toilet cases, on the amount in excess of $25 each; purses, pocket books, shopping and hand bags, on the amount in excess of $5 each; port able lighting fixtures, including lamps of all kinds, on the amount in excess of $10 each; fans, on the amount in excess of $1 each. These taxes are included in the manufacturer's excise taxes, and are payable by the manu factutrer producer or importer, and not the purchaser, as required by the Revenue Act of 1918. The manufac turer may reimburse 'himself, by agreement with the purchaser, by quoting the selling price and tax in separate and exact amounts, or by stating to the purchaser in advance of the sale, what portion of the quot ed price represents the price charged for the articles, and what portion rep resents the tax. The taxes on sporting goods, (ten nis rackets, fishing rods, baseball and football uniforms, fishing rods, etc.) are repealed, also the taxes on chew ing gum, portable electric fans, ther mostatic containers, articles made of fur, and toilet articles and musical in struments. The tax on sales of jewelry, real or imitation is 5 per cent, and is pay able by the vendor. The tax on the sale of works of art (paintings, statu ary, art porcelains, and bronzes) is reduced from 10 to 5 per cent. This tax, payable by the vendor, applies except in the original sale by the ar tist, or to an educational institution or public art museum, or a sale by a recognized dealer in such articles to another such dealer for resale. When payable by the manufacturer or vendor, taxes must he in the hands of the collector of internal revenue on or before the last day of the month followving the month in wvhich the sale was made. Followving are forms for making returns and regulations relating to taxes, which may be had on applica tion to offices of collectors of internal revenue; manufacturers' exc ise tax form 728 revised, Regulations 47, re vised; tax on wvorks of art andl jewecl ry, Form 728 A, revised, Regulations 48, revised; tax on beverages, Form 726;, revised, Regulations 52, revised." TH'FE AMERICAN LEGION WEEIKLY N EWS LETT~ER Both ('yes destroyed b~y American shrapnel during the wvorld wvar, Franz Roheol, who servedl the Kaiser, nowv is kept from suffering by an Ameri can doughboy's discarded suit of "civvies." Someone bought the cloth ing at a rummage sale held by the American Legion Post (of Maspeth, Long Island, and sent it to a woman acquaintance in Germany. She gave it to the needy German soldier. "Nowv I can use the little pension the Government gives me for food and need not go hungry," the former enemy soldier says in a letter of thanks to the Legion p~ost. Ex-soldier' Rohmeol lives in Ekren, Germany. A merican soldiers and marines who won the covetedl Congressional medal of Ihonor (luring the wvar wvill receive the Italian war cross, officials of the A merican Legion have been informed b~y the Italian embassy. Gen Vac cari, chief of staff of the embassy, already has begun distribution of the medal. Steps have been taken by the Legion to also obtain the cross for naval men who received the Congres sional medal.

The bulletins will be sent to all Legion newspapers and publication and, state officlals. More than. 16,0O0 former service men are suffering from tuberculosis in Denver according to C. J. Harris, director of tho American Legion's ser vice division, who is making an in vestigation of the care of these men. The situation is getting beyond .'the control of civic authorities and ade quate hospital .facilities are a press ing need, Mr. Harris reports. Marriage after sthe entrance of American into the world war did not constitute an attempted evasion of the draft so as to deprive the service man of a bonus claim under the Min nesota statute, the Minnesota supre me court has ruled. Parents or wives of Americans who died overseas during the world war and whose bodies have not been re turned would have an opportunity to visit the graves of their deceased at government expense in a resolution introduced into Congress by Rep. Hamilton Fish, New York a member of the American Legion. The resolu tion directs the Secretary of War to provide transportation to American cemeteries overseas. A request that the United States government be asked to negotiate an agreement with Great Britain for re ciprocal treatment of disabled war veterans, traveling oi' residing in either country, will be considered at the next meeting of the legislative committee 'of the American Legion. Such an agreement is in effect be tween this country and Canada. Neutrality of Wyandotte post of the American Legion, Kansas City, in the strike of packing house em ployes has been commended by the Central Labor Body in a letter sign ed by the president of the organiza tion. The labor body is composed of representatives of all organized crafts. Gen. Armando Diaz, commander of the Italian armies during the war was a casualty following his tour of the United States as guest of the American Legion. When he arrived in Naples, it was found that he had sprained a finger from the cordiality of the thousands of American hand shakes. At the ' Italian embassy, Washington, he shook 700 hands in one evening. American Legion members are urged to pay poll taxes, register and make no attempt to dodge jury duty as part of the activities for 1922 in instructions prepared by Alvin M. Owsley, director of the Legion's Americanism commission. The Legion men are urged to make full use of the franchise and prevent miscar riages of justice under the jury trial system. All American Legion posts in Mis souri have been called upon by Dr. Harry F. Parker, state commander, to back a $60,000,000 bond issue for the construction of hard roads. Ex service men will have preference in employment. Subscribe to The Times Professional Cards JNO. G. DINKINS Attorney-at-LIawv MANNING, S. C. D~uRANT & ELLERBIE Attorneys-at- Law MANNING, S. C.
