FINE LADY PASSED AWAY. Rosa Lies, whose serious con- dition we announced in the Chronicle last week died at her home in Cottonwood, the first day of the new year after a lingering illness of three months. Mrs. Lies was born at Oens- bach Amt Acheren, Baden, Jan- uary 30, 1862 and moved with to this community about nine years ago from Okla- homa, her husband having pas- sed away 14 years ago. Mrs. Lies is survived by three daughters and a son, Mrs. Jacob Lorentz, Mrs. Peter Bieren, Jose- phine Lies and Joseph Lies, all of Cottonwood ; two brothers and three _ sisters, gen, Idaho Falls, Idaho. also survived by children. Mrs. Lies about two years ago She is lost two daughters and a grand- | child from the flu and the three were buried at one time. This sad event hung heavily over the mother’s fond heart, death on New Year’s day makes four times that death has enter- ed this fine home within such a short space of time. “A good woman gone” is the eulogy spoken of Mrs. Lies on every hand. She was known to everyone in this community as a kind hearted, motherly woman. She was especially de- voted to her home and her child- ‘en and took the place of a fath- er in raising her family and gave them the best advice pos- sible in playing the double role. | The funeral from the Catholic church Monday morning was largely attended, the services be- ing conducted by Rev. Fr. Willi- ‘ord, the remains being laid to rest beside her two daughters, vho preceded her. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Undertaker A. H. Nau. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends who showed such kind- | ness and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved mother, Rosa Lies. Mrs. Jacob Lorentz, Mrs. Peter Bieren, Josephine Lies, Joseph Lies. STATEMENT. It is deemed necessary to cor- cect a wrong impression as to why Matilda J. Knapp left the Cottonwood schools. Miss Knapp had no legal certificate in this county. The truth of the above state- ment may be proven by evidence in the office of the County Sup- perintendent at Grangeville or the Board of Education at Cot- tonwood. John V.

Uncle Sam, through | the Bureau of Internal Revenue, is addressing to every person in the United States the question, “What was your net income for 1920?” The answer permits of no guesswork. Every single person whose net income for 1920 was $1,000 or more and) every married person whose net income was $2,000 or more is re- |quired to file a return under! }oath with the collectors of in- | | ternal revenue for the district in | | which he lives on or before | March 15, 1921.

This applies to every | citizen and resident of the Unit- States. In addtion to the normal tax a surtax is imposed upon net income in excess of $5,000. | Instructions on Form. | Full instructions for making | out returns are contained on the forms, copies of which may be obtained from collectors of in- ternal revenue. Persons whose net income for 1920 was $5,000 |or less should use Form 1040A. | Those with incomes in excess of $5,000 should use Form 1040. Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to assist taxpayers in making out their returns. The | date of their arrival and the lo- cation of their offices will be an- nounced in the paper or may be ascertained upon inquiry at the offices of collectors. This ad- visory service is without cost to taxpayers. APPRECIATED SUPPORT. | William M.

Ruhoff, for Duelm, Minn., where she will be laid to rest by the side of her husband. MISS KNAPP RESIGNS. Owing to the fact that the State Board did not recognize Miss Knapp’s credits from Tllino- is as sufficient to meet with their requirements they declined to issue her a certificate, and therefore it was necessary for her to resign her position as primary teacher in our public chool. Miss Knapp’s work has been highly satisfactory to both the school board and the patrons having children in her room and they very much regret it was necessary for her to resign, but t was a matter in which the local board had no authority to act, and the only thing they could do was to accept her re- signation. Mrs. H. H. Bise of this place has been secured to fill the vacancy and _ school in this /room will resume as usual next Monday morning. Mrs. Bise comes highly recommended and will no doubt fill the place with satisfaction to all concerned. FINE BEGINNING.
