'' J' " ' '' ' ' v""lT# ?r? in th? habit of shying that Mr MtvMB Groat Dritiu and the MMiiKil State* of America la un think-' Is not. Anything is thinkable.' f\>r ther, 4s a.very considerable, iu Clement in this country that is do- , ou lag its level best to bring on anch Bi a calamity. ' of la the first place, there Is an -"anil pi ^tient grudge," as Owen Wlster has hi ao vividly described for us, born in IS pi' *h? war of the Revolution and c&reh> folly nurses in school histories evertu since. iuoi ut?re 1a me met that, (or the) V - mob, patriotism is always hate of, a aom? other country rather than lore ? of one's own, and Great Brltlan was 1?> ear earliest foe. | 1 Besides these, th? natural friction i>nd envy between kin and of late' nea ie Irish question hare added to the no jeat. 1 r It is also quits the style for politielans and newspapers of the baser sort, to indulge la'the popular pas. One of twisting the Lion's tail. . It is from such small sparks that t| great conflagrations grow, r Nobody expected the last great war. It "Just growed." And nobody expects a war between the two great Bnglish speaking powers.. But wars are not planned: thev &r. tr?m?n. (tons explosions causey by the growing pile of (1) long taught hates, (2) carefully nurtured Jealousies, and (3) the possession of great battlefleeta or armies. The pile Is growing. All that is needed is for some fool to drop a: . .fnatch in it and it will blow up. ?r ,orne reckless American or some . chuckle-headed Englishman given! Just the right occasion, can bring on 1 the horror. And what will it mean? It will mean to begin closest i home, the arming of the Canadian1 , border, and they are good fighters. | For many a year we have lived beside this, our neighbor, in the peaceful rivalry of trade. Whose imagination is equal to the unspeakable re-t suits of a war upon so widely j stretched a border? It will mean the bombardment of: New York or London. It will mean, of course, a clash be-j tween the two.most powerful navies J In the world, with all the loss of life and prosperity that war involves. { It will mean * war infinitely more, rrignuui tn&n tne last, since the Germans raged over only Belgium! and parts of France, "while this ruin' will affect the richest and most pop-' alous centers of civil txatlon. There I* little doubt that today, what civilisation we have depends, upon Great Brltlan and the United ?tatee. If they fight, both will be. .destroyed, whichever conquers. That will be the end of the white; asaa and his Ideals. By his own lneredible folly he will have cut his throat, and the scepter will pass to! the Oriental. ' la other words, it will be the Day of Judgment and the wiping out of European culture and states, just as Greeoe perished and Rome destroyed by the barbarian. Another Dark Ages will ensue, | ravaged by the unhinged fanatics of Bwnlt and the Imperial plotters | of Japan.?Frank Crane iu The. ' State. o TAX PAYMENTS POSTPONED Senator Wells' bill to postpone the time of paying taxes without penalties until after April 1, with 7 per eent. penalty after that date has passed the South Carolina senate.

Isaac Yams*, of Armenia, who was educaed In America sad In turn was a tonoher in the only American oollege in Syria, says in a message to the Near Beat Relief: "I have fought In this war. I have eeen these horrors, seen the starvation, seen men torn asunder, seen] women carried aw ay captive, seen koakeada killing their wires when th? Turks came to snatch them away. I hare . been in theee fights when methane took their children in bags and fled to sere them. I hare been asm of them myself." And as an Armenian he says: "We are hilled; wa are starring, first of all because we are christians. We are christians of ages; we are the original christians; we hare been fighting Islam alone for 1300 years. Why should wa sare Armenia? We < most sare Armenia to nave Christianity and when wa do that we sare < America, for withonl Christianity Me would be no America. WHAT OK FL.

This is a decrease in value since last year of over 15,570,000,000, or about 35 per cent, an almost Inconceivable, which reprs- } ssnts nearly the total value of all crops produced as late a* 1912. If. however, to' this decline in crop values is added the decrease In the livestock products this year, compared with the. 1919 value, it is estimated that the drastic deflation campaign of the government has cosfrthe agricultural interests of to!" country probably over $8,000,000,000, an amount nearly equal to the total value of all crops produced as late as 1916. i Through this almost criminally produced reduction in the country's agricultural wealth, the farm interests have * suffered because their, crops were the most costly to produce ' tn our history. They were forced to pay the top prices for wages and materials and now are recelvng the lowest price for their finished product, not because of purely economic reas-, cms, but by downward manipulation, of the market brought about through' ttaaa il?? uuovi miiuence oC the federal reserve board's action in forcing restriction of credit. 'Not only the [arming Interests have been the loser under this wholly erroneeus policy, but everyone, capitalist and Laborer alike, are suffering. It hits laborer alike, are suffering. It hits the tarxner the hardest, however,because most of his work is done on borrowed capital and it struck at a time a hen he had all at stake. If to the 1920 crop values be added the values of the livestock products the total wealth production on the farms of the country this year will be about $16,500,000,000. compared with $24,982,000,000, the value of all agricultural products in 1919 and $22,479,000,000 in 1918. o INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS Heads of Families, $2,000; Single Persons, gl.OOO. Single persons though required to file a return if their net income for 1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if they are the heads of families, granted a special exemption under the revenue laws. Such a person is defined by treasury regulations as "a person who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation." Such persons are allowed the exemDtlon ?f tt nnn granted a married person. In addition they are allowed a credit of 9200 for each dependant under 18 years of age or incapable of self support because mentally or physically defective. Husband and Wife. A married person living with hushanH anH wlfn AsnnAt ?l?l~ ?- -J tlonal 92,000 exemption as the head of a family. His or her exemption la baaed upon the martial status, irrespective of the support of others living in the hams household. The additional |200 for dependants does not apply to the husband or wife of a taxpayer. For example, If a married man supports a father who is incapable of self-support he is entitled to the 9200 credit for such person, [f through force of circumstances he supports his wife away from home he Is entitled to the 92,000 exemption allowed a married person, but not to a $200 credit for a dependent. "A son who has left home, but who sends his mother more than one-half the sum required for her support is sntltled to the 9200 credit, provided the mother can not support herself, otherwise, the amount must be considered as a gift, and, therefore, the credit is not allowed. A son living at home and supporting his father, mother, or other relative may claim the 92,000 allowed the head of a Family, but not the 9200 credit unless such relative Is under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support.
