L Turner JEWELER TIMELY MOWER REPAIRS One of the best investments a far mer can make is timely repairs and adjustments to his mowing macnine, says P. B. Ezell, county agent, for good care increases the life of the mower, reduces the draft, and im proves the quality of work done. Loss of time from breakdowns is also re duced when the mower is kept in good running condition. The “heart” of the mower is the cutter-bar assembly, where probably 90 percent of all mower troubles be gin. A good' job of cutting requires that the cutter-bar and guard plates be in proper alignment. The knife should be sharp and centered so it will register properly, and the knife sections should rest flat on the guard plates in order to give a smooth cut ting action. Farmers can find helpful informa tion in Extension Circular 173, “Motv- er Repairs and Adjustments.” This circular may be procured from the County Agent’s office or from the Ex tension Publications Department at Clemson. BAILEY PROPOSES A SIMPLE RETURN GROWING PULLETS NEED CONSTANT CARE “A clean range providing some shade, a good growing mash, plenty of grain, and an abundance of water will result in a good crop of pullets being grown out”, says County Ag ent P. B. Ezell, advising Newberry county poultry raisers not to forget or neglect the growing pullets. ‘'Pullets must have shade during summer if they are expected to grow into profitable layers. When not provided with shade that keeps them cool they stop eating, get stunted, and do not have normal resistance to diseases and parasites. “They sometimes become infested with lice very quickly when on range and should be examined for these parasites often.” Opera House Thursday CASH NIGHT CITADEL OF CRIME —With— Robert Armstrong, Frank Albertson Linda Hayes SELECTED SHORTS Matinee 10c-20c Night 10c-30c Friday and Saturday GENE AUTRY —In— GAUCHO SERENADE with Smiley Burnette Added—JUNGLE GIRL Added— Mickey Mouse Comedy Matinee 10c-15c Night 10c-20c Monday and Tuesday One Continuous Laugh!

Bailey, Democrat, North Carolina, proposed today that the government take over the job of fill ing out the small taxpayer’s annual income tax return. Bailey, a mem ber of the senate finance committee, said he intended to propose this plan next week when the committee begins consideration of proposed amend ments to the house-approved $3,236,- 700,000 revenue measure. “Instead of sending the small tax payer a complicated return to fill out, I would send him a question naire,” Bailey said. “He could ans wer fourteen or fifteen questions about this income, swear to the ques tionnaire, and return it. From that information the government could fill out his return, compute the tax, and send him a copy of the return, and a notice of his tax.” Bailey, who was internal revenue collector for North Carolina from 1913 to 1921, said his experience at that time convinced him that the small taxpayer’s problems can and should be greatly simplified. The need, he added, would be parti cularly acute if the tax base is fur ther broadened by reducing the ex emptions from the present figures $800 a year for single persons and $2,000 for married couples to $750 and $1,500 respectively. Such a move, it is estimated, would bring in an additional 6,000,000 persons in to the federal revenue system who Jiave not been required to file returns. The treasury itself has proposed a simplification for taxpayers in the brackets up to $3,000. Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury John L. Sulli van presented a chart averaging the taxes that would be due on incomes from $750 to $3,000 in brackets jump, ing $25 at a step. A taxpayer whose income was less than $3,000 could ex amine the chart, find the tax listed for his income, and pay it. He would have the privilege of figuring his own tax, however, if he preferred. Under the treasury’s proposal tax payers showing incomes of $3,000 or less would be permitted to make a blanket deduction of 10 per cent for contributions and exemptions, if they so desire. Bailey maintained that his own sys tem would be “preferable”. He contended that it would take no more clerical work by the internal revenue bureau than is now required to check the returns of taxpayer* who now fill them out them-selves.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug 23.—Today’s streamlined fire fighting apparatus has none of the glamour of that of years gone by, according to Charles Babcock, retired employe of a Colum bus manufacturer of fire apparatus. Fire engines are trim vehicles to day, with little decoration upon their flashy red sides, but engines of yes teryear were ornamental as well as useful. They were decorated wrth fancy scrolls, gilt lettering galore— even portraits of fire chiefs. For example Columbus apparatus was distinctive a quarter of a cen tury ago because it bore the portrait of Christopher Columbus. This was the k*ind of artistic work done by Babcock, first in Seneca Falls, N. Y., then fof 32 years here.
