TAX EXPERT IN THE GIT DEPUTY COLLECTOR WILL BE IN COTTONWOOD FRI- DAY AND SATURDAY. Deputy Collector Philip Weis- gerber, with headquarters in Lewiston will be in Cottonwood Friday and Saturday for the purpose of assisting any one who desires his services, free of charge, in making out their in-} come tax for the year 1920. Income Tax Facts Births, deaths and marriages during the year 1920 affect materially income tax returns for that year. Millions of babies were added to family circles, each of whom brings an exemption of $200 in the parents’ income tax return. Widows and widowers who lost their husbands or wives dur- ing the vear are especially affect ed. They are single for the purposes of the income tax law and are granted only an exemp- | tion of $1,000, unless the head of a family. Persons who were divorced or separated by mutual agreement | must con- as single per- during the year also sider themselves sons. ? The status of the taxpayer on December 31, 1920, determines the amount of the exemptions. Tf on that day the taxpayer was married and living with wife or husband, claim may be made for | the $2,000 exemption. If single, or married and not living with wife or husband on December 31, the exemption is only $1,000. Persons who reached majority during the year and whose earn- ings for that period amounted to $1,000 or more, or $2,000 or more according to their martial status must file a return and pay a tax on their net income in ex- cess of these amounts. To avoid penalty, the return must be in the hands of the col- lector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer lives, or has his principal place of business, on or before mid- nigh of March 15, 1921. LADIES AUXILARY. All those eligible to -member- ship in an auxiliary to the Ameri can Legion (which qualifications are being the wife, mother sister or daughter of a person who is eligible to membership in the Legion, whether such person is a member of the Legion or not) are invited to meet with the Ameridan Legion at their regul- ar meeting in the Odd Fellows lodge rooms, at 7:30 o’clock on the evening of Wednesday, March 2nd. At this time the question of the organization of the auxiliary will be discussed and: if a suf- ficient number of the ladies de- sire to perfect the organization, the first steps will be taken at the meeting. Whether interested or not, and if you qualify for membership we will be glad to have you at- tend, and we will endeavor to en- tertain you. All ex-service men are also in- vited to attend this meeting. By order of Post No. 40, Jess Robertson, Post Adjutant. TO ATTEND CONFERENCE.

The Culdesac boys had won 18 consecutive games and consider- ed one of the strongest teams in northern Idaho. Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Boehm of Sandpoint were remarried in Spokane Wednesday. The coup- le were married for the first time in Spokane in 1907. Just a year ago they were granted a divorce, and after living separate for one year remarried again in Spokane. J. F. Collins was awarded a contract for the building of a Presbyterian churer in Lewiston, the cost of which will be $27,000. Bids were called for last fall but were rejected on account of be- ing to high. The $27,000 bid was $6000 lower than the lowest bid last fall. The sheriff at Wallace, in Sho- shone county has captured 17 stills in 15 months and says will put his collection up against any to be found in the country. Some of the stil; captured by the county sheriff were large ones, and complete to the smallest detail. Here’s another question that worries folks around the state house: When the kegislature “stops the clock” early in March will it stop all the clocks in the state house? They are all operat- ed by the same electrical device, and if all the clocks are stopped how will the state house em- ployes know when to knock off? Harry Stone, who was to have been tried on a grand larceny charge, plead quilty at Nezperce Friday. Judge Steel gave him an indeterminate sentence of one to 14 years in the penitentiary. The crime for which he is given this sentence was the theft of $320 from Wm. McMurray at Craigmont on the 25th of last November.
