History, stripped of: itg:details such as battles, travels in cycles. Each cyele is the rise and fall of a race. . 3 : Do you realize that ‘thé white race ‘has held military .rulership of the earth for only three! centuries? ) i Thirteen hundred years ago, the Arabs were) the ruling power. Bagdad then was as big as; modern Chicago. : } Seven hundred years ago, Chinese armies de- stroyed Bagdad and conquered most of Europe. The wheel has made nearly a complete revoli- tion. The Orient again rises to challenge the! white man. The challenge is economic, a matter of trade, rather than military force. | In competing with its new. yellow rival, the| white race will find that the Orient’s chief weap-/ ons are hard véork and cheap labor. Both of these; result from over-propulation. ip The white man is philosophical. He. watches} the parade go by, and asks, “What is the meaning, legs instead of six?” The Oriental is contemplative. He is a fatalist.| He watches the parade, taking it as a matter of/ course, contemplating it without reasoning ‘to a! definite conclusion. __ The white mar has invented the quick-moving short story, to express his nervousness and craze} for speed.

MAIN STREET’S WAY One news despatch did not get the prominence, it deserved in Tiesday’s papers. We reprint it: Madelia, Minn.,. Nov. 28.—The “Madelia Plan,” under which merchants have agreed to accept corn from farmers at 10 cents above the current. market price in settlement of old accounts and in payment for goods went into operation Saturday and is meeting with favor among corn growers, backers of the project said today. HS ; | The plan is. operative until Dec. 13." Each farmer. is limited to the disposal of’ 100 bushels. ‘ 1 For all we know Madelia may, be the model| y from which Sinclair Lewis drew his picture of Gopher Prairie in “Main Street.” It is alittle country town depending on the surrounding coun- try for trade and profits. When the farmers in the neighborhood are prosperous the town is too. And when business ‘is bad the town suffers.’ If} the farmers have a grievance and lose hope, then the merchants do little business. Almost any one can understand the motives| behind the “Madelia Plan.” ‘Merchants wanted} to get the stocks on their-shelves to moving. They wanted to collect old’ Hebts. “The farmers were nursing a grievance because it now takes twice as many bushels of corn to settle a debt.as it did Merchants found | collections slow. If\they went to law to collect.| they might or might not.win, but if they did win they forfeited the good-will of customers. The Madelia plan'was a.compromise. The ad-| vantages to each party are obvious. It also cre- ates an atmosphere of good feeling. | The merchants of Madelia are doing on a small scale very much the same thing that Frank A.

First { came Nancy, then Nick, then Kip the Brownie, and Mike Mole. After them, at the end of the procession, came the chimney-sweep and the toy-maker. They were going to help Pim Pim dig up the ruby-red and the blazing blue and sapphire-shine and golden- glitter and silver sheen for the Christ- mas tree ornaments out of his magic mines in Brownieland. And then the Twins, the sweep and the toy-maker wete going to wish themselves to the North Pole to Santa Ciaus’ house and help all they could with preparations for Christmas. “Everybody was very happy. “Ha, ha!” laughed Kip and he gave a hop, skip and jump. ‘ “Won't Crook-. abone be angry when ‘he finds that we have’ got back the key and the Magic Shoes!” i , “Shush, becareful,” said the ‘mole, “Who laughs: last laughs best. We're not there yet.. Nancy and Nick, you'd better wish yourselves ‘in Brownie- land:at once. Take Kip’s key and be- gone. ‘The rest of us will follow.” Nick shook.his head. “We won't de- sert our friends,” said he, loyally. But alas! If:he -had.only known what. was happening at ‘that minute. Crookabone: was consulting his chief sorcerer, ‘and telling: him what had happened. “The children up in the world must not have Christmas,” he finished. “How can we prevent it?” “Tl. boil nine -toad’s-warts,” said the sorcerer, “and when the steam gets into the secret passage, the pas- sage will twist, and instead of com- ing out’ in Brownieland, the Twins will find themselves. in the Cave at the End of the Earth.

The Revenue Act of 1921 became effective November 23, 1921, ‘uniess otherwise -provided -for.’ “To avoid error in the preparation of their returns and later Uifficulties with the bureau of Internal Reve- nue; taxpayers age advised to care- fully note the changes and when they become effective. 7 “The excess profits tax is repealed as of January 1, 1922. The rates for 1921 are unchanged. “The surtax rates for the calendar year 1921 are unchanged, and range jfrom 1 per cent on the amount of net 65 per cent on the amount of net in- come in excess of $1,000,000. For the calendar year 1922 the surtax rates range from 1 per.cent on. the amount of net income between $6,000 and $10,000 to 50 per cent on the amount by which the net ‘income exceeds $200,009. Exemption Allowed i “The exemption allowed for a de- pendent is increased from $200 to $400. Married persons living with husband cr wife and heads of fami- lies are allowed a personal exemption of $2,500 (instead of $2,000) : unless the net income is in excess of $5,000, in which case the. personal exemption is on.y $2,000. The act provides that‘in no case shall the reduction of the ‘personal exemption from. ,$2,500 to $2,000 operate to increase the tax which would be payable if the exemp- tion were $2,500 by more than the amount of the net income in excess jof $5,000. This is to overcome the disparity in the case of two taxpay- ers, one of whom is just within’ the lower $2,000 exemption and the other just within the higher $2,500 exemp- tion, “Single persons, and married per- sons not living with husband or wife, are allowed an’ exemption of $1,000. Non-resident aliens are allowed a single personal exemption of $1,000. Persons having gross* incomes for 1921 of $5,000 or over are required. to make a” return, regardless of the Jamount of net income. |. “Provision is ‘made for the repeal as of January 1, 1922 of the tax on stockholders’ of a. personal. service |corporation as such. After that date such corporations are to be taxed in the same manner as other corpora- tions. 4 |, “The income tax on’ corporations jfor the calendar’ year 1922"and’ there- after is increased from 10 to"12 1-2 per cent. The $2,000 exemption here- tofore allowed corporations is to be granted only to those corporations whose net income is $25,000 or less. “Many persons are under the im- pression that the taxes on ice cream, soft drinks, etc, monthly returns of which are required, have been’ re- pealed with the enactment of the new act. These taxes remain in force until the end of the calendar year 1921. “No change is made on the tax on admissions, except that after Janu- ary 1, 1922, there will be no tax where admission is 10 cents or less. Effec- tive January 1, 1922, the following taxes are also abolished: on musical instruments, sporting goods, chewing gum, ‘portable electric fans, thermos bottles, fur articles, pleasure boats jand pleasure canoes, (unless sold for more than $100), toilet articles, medi- cines and numerpus articles of ap- parel. “On and after January 1, 1922, the jtax ‘on various works of art is re- ducéd from 10 per cent to 5 per cent, the tax on candy from 5 per cent to :|3 per cent and the tax on carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purses, fans, etc. from 10 per cent of sales price in excess of specified amounts to 5 per cent of sales: price in gxcess of specified amounts. Tax Eliminated. “The tax on parcel post packages is eliminated effedtive January 1y 1922. “The new act provides that no tax- payer shall be subjected to unneces- sary examinations or investigations, and only one inspection of his books of account shall be made ‘for each taxable year unless the’ taxpayer re- ‘ quests otherwise, or the Commission- er notifies the taxpayer in writing that an additional inspection is ne- cessary. “The period for filing returns on uary 1 to March 15, 1922. ‘This year, as last, the tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return or in four equal installments, due on or be- fore March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. | “Copies of the revenue act may be had by application to this office.” Don’t sell your turkeys until |you have seen us.
