Just think how time has improved colors for painters to- day, especially the female painters, who can buy it almost any place al- ready mixed, ete. And then, when that’s gone, they ean even use the coloring out of the cover of the box the paint came in. w w Memory Fails Us We often wonder what has become of the once-renowned gentleman who “ran against” Senator Harding in Ohio last fall.

Verndale on Wednesday, February 2, after a short illness. iption of Mr. Smith's illness and death as given by the Verndale Sun is as fol- lows: “The community was ¢éaddened this week by the death of Eldred Smith a young man i of age, who p vay ‘Wednesday worning of acute Brigh disease. He was taken seriously ill threc weeks ago with pneumonia. “The deceased’ leaves to mourn his loss, besides his numerous friends, two children, age 13 and 7 and a de- voted wife, a father and mother, two brothers and one sister, all who were present at his bedside at the time of his death. The parents are Mr. and Mrs, Alfred Smith, with whom the departed had been making his home ;at the time of his becoming ill. One ‘isister,. Mrs. Wm.

Tax collections from ghese women amounted to $273,794,- 78. The number of wives making :sep- arate returns from husbands was ap- proximately 36,000 and the amount of tax collected from this source was|’ $333,218,794. These figures. show that taxes paid by women form an im- portant item in government revenue. The exemption allowed single wom- en, or a married woman who i§ not ving with her husband, is $1,000. The normal tax rate on income in ex- cess of this exemption is 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income and 8 per cent on the remaining net in- come. ' In addition there is a surtax which applies, however, only to net income in excess of $5,000." The term “single women” includes |a widow, a divorcee; or a person sepa- !rated from her husband by mutual agreement. A married woman whose income igfrom a separate source than her husband’s may file a separate re- turn. A married woman living' with her usband is not allowed a prescribed exemption. The ' exemption allowed a married couple is $2,000. The $2,- 000 may be taken by either hushan or wife or prorated between them, ‘A woman who was.widowed during the ‘year 1920, unless the head of ‘a family or remarried-on or before De- cember 31, 1920, may' claim only an exemption of $1;000;. A wife support- ing an invalid husband in a sanatori- um is entitled to'a $2,000 exemption. The'separation is one of necessity an§ she is not considered for incame tax. purposes to be “living apart”’ from If, however, there is continuous .voluntary- separation be-! tween husband and wife, whether or not grdnted by court decree, eacn mugt take the status of a single per- son with respect to the income tax.
