How Much Income Tax Do You Pay?

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 8.?"How Much
Income Tax Have I Got to Pay?" This
is a question that many men will be
asking themselves between now and \
March 15. Joel Hunter, the well- a
known income tax authority, has com- \
piled a convenient little table which
will answer the question at a glance. \ j

Ol?
He Had Been Hit.
Over a glass of grape juice the
comedian was telling of his hard lot
to a friend. "It's not a bit of good,"
he finished. "I shall leave the stage."
His friend, in his inmost thoughts,
agreed with him, but for the sake of
politeness expostulated, "Oh, don't
do that!" he cried. "If you leave the
stage you will be missed."
"It's about time, too," snapped the,
actor angrily, "I'm pretty tired of
being hit!"
How, Indeed?
A patient said to a doctor: "I'm
feeling very blue this morning, dor--j
tor."
"What's the matter?" asked the
physician.
"Every time I feel my nose it hurts
y J
me.
"But you are not obliged to feel
your nose.'"
"But -how can I tell whether it
hurts unless I do?"

Tennessee Spinster Envious.
Raleigh, X. P.. Jan. 0.?Since na-|
ibnwide publicity has been given to
he fact that Reuben Bland, of Rob-j
>rsonvilIe. Beaufort county, was the)
)roud father of ill children, Mr. and I
i
Mrs. Bland have been deluged with I
etters from persons all over thej
Jnited States and Canada.
The letters are from both women I
md men. Excerpts from a few
>f the letters follow:
A man in Ohio writes: "1 read the
itorv about your large family aloud
o my wife. 'There's a man who ought
o be given a medal,' I told her.
There's a man who ought to be hangid,'
she retorted."
A writer in Oregon sent this:
'Reuben. Reuben. I am thinking,
fou are quite a nifty man.
To your health ! am drinking,
fou have done what few men can."
From Xavarre, Ohio, Mr. Bland received
this:
"I'm the father of eight children
md I have an awful time keeping
hem in food and clothing. I've worded
a lot, but since reading about
our big family, I realize that I'm a
ucky guy."
A spinster in Tennessee wrote -Mrs.
Bland:
"What a pity that more women
:ould not know the joys of having
;uch a grand family. I envy you."
Why it Took Time.
"I suppose your motto is, 'Make
lay while the sun shines,' " remarked
he summer boarder who tries to be
genial.
"It used to be." answered Farmer
^orntossel. "But lately I have been
i little bit careful not to mention

CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Production
Cost Through FoodMaking
and Saving.
Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?"A right j
about-face movement in 1921 is neces- j
sary if the farmers of the South are j
to get on safe, firm ground again," j
said H. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
"It looks as if we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the danger
signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our follies
of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost of production.
"With few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup j
ply merchant charges for them.
"Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at thq
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
"Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forag*
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cotton
costs from one-third to one-half
"Plant for an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting dowrD

cotton will not hurt so much. We cannot,
with European coifitries so thoroughly
disorganized, r< onably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
"Most of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921?
the making on home acres of ever}
pound 01 food and grain needed to see
tis through.
"In this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seriously.
Give the home garden a square
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be planted
the earliest, brings quick returns
and if kept replanted and worked will
stay by you all the season through.'
