SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922. V'c hiiNC an idea that Union Countj ;> in reasonably good condition t?> .rtar.d the coming of the boll weevil this year. Wo believe the county has >n hand, and unsold, almost one year's entire cotton crop. Many say the> will sell when cotton reaches 20 cents. -I/-, n. 1/ itfup tfV? of f r\ oilt-ICii oc fit selling. It is tin unknown problem. What cotton will do, nobody knows. Hut if the cotton now being held throughout the county should be sold for 20 cents, there would be more real money circulating in the county thai; was ever known. It is the circulating mrney that makes business go easy. The banks of Union County, according to recent reports, show up in good shape. We understand that the examiner said the banks here were in tetter condition than in any county in the state. Many of our farmers are planning to diversify considerably, and will diversify more every year hereafter for several years. Union County has at. abundance of food and feed stuffs. The mills of the county a,-.? all running. Seems to us that we have very little to complain of. True, those who went in fur move land than they needed and tit a high figure, are now finding difficulty in holding on, especially in cases where most of the investment was made with! I borrowed money. But that is the fix chat the speculator often finds himself in. Taking it all in all, Union County is greatly blessed. There, is no reason for cowardly pessimism, nor for - \mwt??V?oTne tear. We are coming to a better day, and even today is not had. Our cat says farmers who live a' home will find no difficulty in living well. # * Our cat says a job look-* better :??w than it did two years ago. ? * Our cat say - a dollar goes further now than if did two vcars ntro. Our cat. says a morally clean 'own is the better place to live. * Our tat says those who are hiding their money in an old sock should take, that money to the hank. Our cat says you cannot expect others to have a higher opinion of you 'han you hold of yourself. Our cat says those who talk most of economy mean it. for the other fel Our cat says the number of acres planted to small grain in Union County is tarter than usual. Our cat says now is the time for all good gardeners to come to the aid of the movement. Our cat says he sure and plant one rose in your front yard and one f.rape vine in your back yard this year. At sea a checker board sky, deep ' blue with gleams of apple green signifies ice fields. i < There is no blue pigment In blue i eyes; in fact, they are really colorless j according to scientists, ' British and Zionists Reach Agreement ! Jerusalem, Jan. 6.?Great interest has been aroused here by a semi-official announcement that an agreement has been reached between the . British government and a group of men representing the Zionist organization for the exploitation of lands , i lying beyond the River Jordan and ' the Dead Sea. It has always been | known that proper development would reveal the presence of oils and other i minerals in great quantity in that , | section of the country. , From reliable sources, it is understood that the agreement involves a pj tract of land extending from the Syrian coast on the North to the valley ; of Mojeb on the South and from the : town of Eltuba on the East to the | | River Jordan and the Dead Sea on "J the West. Celebrating Fourth Anniversary of Revolution Riga, Latvia, Jan. 3.?Karl Radek, the Bolshevik writer and propagandist, has published an article in the Moscow Pravada's edition celebrating the fourth anniversary of the Lenine revolution in which Radek denies the widely-circulated story that the Bolshevik revolution in Kus-ia was financed by German gold. Radek's article is devoted to a description of the historic icturn of Nikolai Lenine from Switzerland .hrough Germany to Russia in tht spring of 1U17, with the permissiot: of the German government. This was the beginning of the revolution and oi Russia's withdrawal from the war. Radek asserts that Lenine and his party of 40 sent an emissary to tin German minister in Switzerland ask ing free passage for all emigrant: who wanted to return to Rus. ia an* insisting that during tl eir p ts age the German government should no atenipt to enter into commit"icatioi with them. "On our side," Radek asserted. "\v promised to do everything for light ening the position of German prison ers of war in Russia and also to ex pedite the return of German . ten lid front Russia to Germany. "After a little time, the Genua government agreed to our condition Of course, it was quite clear to u that the German government intends to speculate on this episode, reckon ing that after our arrival in Russi; we would work for peace. But thi conjecture interested us very little fo we knew that if, in Russia, the revo lution took a proletarian turn the its influence would tell far boynn the confines of Russia." The party, says Radek, had an escort of German officers and, when i halted at railway stations, seen agents surrounded it to keep the Ger man soldiers and other persons awn from it dangerous Bolsheviki. The ! ?'urning emigrants v ere s hilarious that Lenine had to take ove nviiPiiUvn niifVu.ritv nnil :i1im some ovJer. One attempt was made while th truin was passing through German; says Radel:. to .sound out the party o the questi* .1 of working for peat with Germany. This was made. 1: declares, by a German who aid h wanted to greet the Russians in th name of the Central Commission < German Trade Unions but Radek be Moved he was acting in behalf of th German government. The Bolshevik Radek says, refused to deal with bin The Russian party then went t Stockholm, where, says Radek, "\V received 1500 Swedish kroner whic apparently was that vast sum whic was figuring in all tales of French p? riots as Germoti gold funds supplif I for the Russian revolution." Income Tax Law Has Two Chinge The revenue act <?f 1921 eontair two new and important provision which are the subject of frequent ii quiry. The first relates to the pe sona] exemption allowed married pe <ons, and the second to the provisic requiring that a return be made < gross income of $5,000 or more. The act provides that a marrit person, living with husband or wif whose net income for 1921 wa. $5 Of or less shall he allowed a personal e> emption of $2,500. If the net incom of such person was over $5,000 tli extension is $2,000. Under the rex enue act of 191$ the personal exemr tion allowed a married person w? $2,000. regardless of the amount < net income. The normal tax rate r< .mains unchanged, 4 per cent on tli rst $1,000 of net income above th exemptions and 8 per cent on the r? maining net income. In order that an income slightly i excess <;f $5,000 shall not he suhjoct '>d to an inordinately disproportionat tax because of the reduction of th exemption to $2,000 thereon, the la provides that such reduction sh;?l 1 no operate to increase the tax. whir would he payable if the exempt in were $2,500. by more than the am u, of the net income in excess of $~,ont For example, on a net income o $5,010, the tax without this savin, clause would be $120.40, whi.-h iper cent on $5,010, the amount of no income less an exemption of $2,000 The actual tax is $110.10, minutci as follows: From the not income o $5,010 is deducted $2,500. . avinjr *2, 510, the 4 pet* cent, tax "? whicl amounts to $100.40. T<> ih . i adder $10, "the amount of net ir .\-m?- in ex cess of $5,000." The personal exempt ions nllowet married persons apply a!-to to th< head of a family, a person who sup ports in one household one or mor< relatives by blood, nnrriaee <?r adoption. Heretofore, a person wi oc net income was less than his exemptior t-ti.uuu ii isIiiiiit. or 11 married i was not required to file :i return. Under the revenue act of l?r>i, if th( gross income of an inrli. i<l i,-i! equalled or exceeded $5,000, or if the combined gross income of a married ,-ouple and that of dependent minor children equalled or exceeded $5,000, a return must be filed, regardless of the pmount of net income. "Net income" is gro-s income, less certain deductions. Tin- fact that allowable deductions from gross income, for business exnenses, losses bad debts, etc., may reduce the net income to an amount be' .w the 'pprsonal exemptions of $1 000 or $'2,000, does ont alter the requirement to file a return of gross income, if such gross Income equalled or exceeded $5,000.? The State. | i i hit WMiipaiijr 10 ^itvii ? p^nuu v*. i live years in which to carry on the! ' preliminary work. Should oil or any lj other minerals be fount!, an extension ll I j of time would be Riven provided the i company pays to the British govern-1 L": ment f 1,000 as a royalty fee. Besides *: a straight tax of one shilling is dei manded on each and every ton of oil or other minerals taken from the : j ground. What such a venture will mean to a the life of Palestine is not hard to i. guess. Closely connected with the s search for oil would be the need for 'li generating electricity fr >m the waters - of the River Jordan with which to a | carry on the work. Railroad lines - 'J would also have to be constructed in i all directions, in order to facilitate - transportation of the mineral products :i found. With oil, electricity and raild roads, Palestine would bo bound to re! ceive a great impetus toward indus;.j trial progress. t The striking feature of the whole tj atfair, is that it points io a departure _ on the part of the government from v its waiting policy as regards new cn: terprises. The government of Pales0 1 tine is poor and lacks funds with which to develop the hidden resources ( of the land. Only by private initiative and private capital could the country bo built up. It is asserted here that v thus far the government which takes ' its orders from London, has not only failed to lend moral support, but has / gone so far as to discourage and C" en 'J stop new ventures. ' ! Moscow Facing Long Period of Misery 1 Moscow, Jan. ft.?Signs grow as ij the winter deepens that even Mosc >w o faces a long period of misery, noto' withstanding the conditions here arc t? far better than anv where else in b! Central Russia. i- The struggle for food anil clothing is is all absorbing. They are the only things that cunt. Home, family t'es and obligations, friendship, art, politics, public and private ambitions? ,3 all re subjugated to these two elemental needs. ,s Most Russians are convinced that s the mere return to free trade and capitalism will not right the wrong. r_ the country has suffered, nro the signing of new orders bring back the >n old life of the peasant, the bout ,f! geois and the noble, nor make Rus ! sians again a wealthy people The struggle for existence is so (1 j hitter that few have time to give IP much though to the future,. Th"? . i needs of today are too pressing in , I oe h eases, for example, as the fr|( mer wealthy noble and his wife from . Smolensk, who now live without fire , | or food in a Moscow garret which the husband cannot leave because he has ,1*1 no -.hoes. His wife speaks half a ,.j dozen languages yet she can find no l(, employment. lf. In the same condition is a woman who once owned 200 mites of land fronting on the Caspian Sea. Arrest ? ed as a spy, separated from her husband and children and shipped north to die, she is now eking out an extem-e by peddling eggs and vege' -Me:; in Moscow. ,t Speculation and robbery are the (wo favorite ways of obtaining the tl necessities of life. , New Invention To f Fuel Airplanes I Paris, Jan. 5.?An invention recent( ly perfected by Godfrey Cabot, of l Cambridge, Mass., the American del1 egate. It is designed to make possif ble the taking up of fuel by an air plane in motion, aroused great in1 tcrest at the first congress on Aerial 1 Navigation held here. Trans-atlantic - air travel would be greatly facilitated by this method as stops at "airmen's li islands" would not be necessary at in2 tervals in the Atlantic ocean and air-j planes would have much additional > space available for passengers and - mnil which otherwise would be taken up by fuel sufficient for one crossing. Mr. Cabot thinks that transatlantic i air navigation will be a paying proposition within 15 years provided airplanes do not carry fuel enough for an entire trip. With a minimum of fuel I nnd a maximum of <tr>nno tar mail and I passengers it could be made a sucI cessful enterprise, Mr. Cabot said. He i1 assumed that ocean crossings would he quite ordinary occurrences withirt a few years. I m i! American Club Organized In Riga Riga, Jan. 6.?An American Luncheon club has been organized in Rigatj with a chatrer membership of 30.' most of whom are here on govrenment, American Relief Administration or American Red Cross business.

She spoke sympathetically of American husbands who went to prison rather than pay alimony to deserting wives. Four Bullfighters Pay Toll Madrid.
