"These families have produced] their own requirments. They have marketed many Items that were call-1 ed for In the Secretary of Agriculture's production requirements."

We expect to put | in 600 more acres of truck,, 25 more acres of rice, and have 30 more cows, 300 hogs, and 38,000 more chickens. The Secretary of Agriculture said "Food will win the war and write the Peace." We are all in a hurry to win the war. We all want a Just peace, and if food will do it Kershaw county farmers will produce the food," concluded Mr. DeLoache, the county supervisor. NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS All parties indebted to the estate of James Edward Moore are hereby notified to make payment to the undersigned and all parlies, if any, having claims against the said estate will present them likewise, duly attested, within the time prescribed by law. J. S. TIDWE'LL, Administrator Estate of James Edward Moore Camden, S. ('., Jan. 5, 1943 ? 3L It,.Takes Both, War Bonds and Taxes, to Win?Victory Tax Special Direct Levy Asked to Help Meet Heavy War Costs WASHINGTON, D. C.-?Approximately 50,000,000 American workers began to make an udcl^d contribution to the War cost this month in the form of a 5% Victory tax. For many miliions of Americans the Victory tax and the 1943 income tax are the first direct levies to be made by the Government to meet the staggering War costs. And it will take both . . . taxes and War bonds ... to provide the supplies and materials to win the War and the peace afterwards. The Treasury Department esti-' mates that the Victory tax will raise approximately $2,000,000,000. Every person receiving more than $12 per week must pay the Victory- tQX upon thut part of his income over and above the $12. For example, a married man with a salary of $50 per week, with two dependents, would make only a net payment of $1.06 per week after allowance for postwar credit. The Government has made every effort to make the impact of the new tax as light as possible. The law, in effect, provides that in the case of married persons whose sole income is from wages or salary, 40 percent of the Victory tax paid (up to a maximum of $1,000) plus 2 percent for each dependent (up to a maximum of $100) may be used as a credit against whatever Federal income taxes the individual may owe at the end of the year?provided he 'f???~?? has purchased certain War Bonds, or paid old debts or paid life insurance premiums equal to the amount of this credit. In the case of single persons this credit will be 25 percent of the Victory tax paid (up to a maximum of $500). Should the Victory tax credit exceed the individual's Federal income tux, the unused portion of the credit muy be refundable to the taxpayer. Even with the Victory tax, the 1943 income tax, and all other taxes paid by individuals, the uverage American will have more money with which to buy War Bonds than he has ever had before. Here are the statistics which explain that statement: In 1940 the total income payments made to the American people amounted to about 76 billion dollars. In that same year the total personal taxes paid, Federal, State and local, were roughly 2.5 billion dollars, leuving 73.5 billion dollar# of disl>osable income. During 1943 total I income payments are expected to rise to 125 billion dollars and total personal taxes under existing revenue legislation will be 15 billion dollars?leaving 110 billion dollars of income at our disposal as against only 73.5 billion dollars in 1940. In 1943 Mr. Average American will still be carrying a much lighter tax load than his Canadian or English brothers-in-arms. In Great Britain total national and local taxes paid by individuals at present amount to 31 percent of the national income. In Canada, total individual taxes amount to 25 percent of the national i income. In the United States, total personal taxes, Federal, state and local, will amount in 1943 to 18 percent of national, income. Our English allies invest an additional 10 percent of national income in War savings. Our Canadian allies invest an additional 11 percent of national income in War savings. We AmeriI cans, to match the record of our Canadian neighbors, would have to invest this year 20 percent of our national income in War savings. To i match the English record we would have to invest 23 percent of national income in War savings.

One of the innovations of the Kirkwood this season is the publishing of i weekly newspaper called "The Kirkwood I>og." This is a newsy ittle sheet of four pages. Mom "Sausages for breakfast I Sau* sages for breakfast I I can smell 'em!" Small Joe came tumbling downstairs fastening the belt of his shorts as he came. He made a beeline for the kitchen. Pop was already sitting at the table, reading the paper, while Mom held the handle of the frying-pan over the stove. Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning loy. "Better be thankful for them while you can still get them.v One glance at Mom's face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!" Small Joe kept still. "Letter for you, son," Pop said in his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk glass "Hey, Pop! It's from brother!" Small Joe was pulling the envelope into the contents. "Hey, look what he sent me." He passed over an oblong of thick, crinkly paper while he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper. "A twenty-five dollar War Bond," Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop's shoulder, with the frying-pan in her hand. ".Listen what he says. now are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help me slap the Japs. Aren't you most big enough to get into the Army? Here's something for you in your name. Let's the whole family gang up and help to win this war.' Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn't notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond. "Gee, Pop, in six years I could get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It's mine." But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom's eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently. ? *. "Well, can't let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we. old lady? was all he said. She shook her head again. "I guess if he can give up his lob and . . . and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home." she said in a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. "Well, Joe. We're about ready to eat. Say grace." Small Joe folded his hands ahd bent his head as he had been taught. "Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts . . "Amen," Pop said. "Amen," Mom said. "Now eat your good sausages." (Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Department.) Amen: Say yes. Take your change In War Stamps. The least you can do is the most you can buy in War Bonds. U. S.
