INCOME TAX- OVER BILLION Government 1921 Collections Amount to Total of $1,420,962,438. Washington, D. C. The treasury collected income and profit taxes from 7,018,573 individuals and firms for the calendar year 1021, receipts from this source totaling $1,420,902,438. A statistical report made public by the bureau of internal revenue shows that such revenue decreased approximately $1,250,000,000 from 1920 while there was a reduction of about 600,000 in the number of persons and firms making returns. Of the total returns filed 6,602,173 were by individuals. Reductions in the amounts of taxes paid and the number of returns filed as compared with 1920 extend all along the line from the persons pay ing taxes on income of $1000 to. the maximum class of one million dol lars or more. There were only 21 in the latter class in 1921, while "in 1920 the records show 33 persons ad milted having incomes of "one mil lion dollars and over." Detailed figures disclosed that 12 of the 21 paid taxes on incomes between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, and none re ported incomes between a million and u half and two million. Washington, D. C. Statistics Just Completed by the internal revenue bureau for the year 1921 shows that taxes were paid to the federal govern ment on hut one net income of $5, 000,000 or more. That income was not. reported by John D. Rockefeller. In fact, if statistics count for anything, the net income turned in by Mr. Rocke feller for 1921 was only somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000. This fact caused much surprise be en use- it. had generally been conceded that one of four net incomes of $5, 000,000 or more returned the previous year, 1920, represented Mr. Rocke feller's income. Henry Ford and his wife and Mr. Ford's son Edsel Ford, and his wife, wero supposed to have turned in two of the other record in comes in 1920. The identity of the fourth Income return was In doubt. It Is pretty well established by the sla tisticiil tables issued recently that the incomes of the' Fords, father and son, dropped to about $3,000,000 to $4,000,- 000 each in 1921, as compared with over $5,000,000 in 1920. Whilo the business depression In 1521 cut deeply Into practically all of 1 lie huge personal incomes and also reduced net laxahlo incomes returned by corporations by more than $3,500, 000.000 from tho total reached in 1920, the almost sensational fall in the Kerlvi teller iiicomo from more than $5,000,000 to not more than $1,500,000 was a subject of much comment. Of course the actual income of Air. Rocke feller largely exceods either of the figures given and it should he under- slued that net income as used for the government statistics does not include income from tax exemptions and other Income upon which government tax is nol payable. The statistics as compiled nnd pub lished by the government do not In clude the names of the persons report ing net incomes, but they do classify I lie incomes by sex and family rela tionship and by the states from which I hey are returned.

AMERICA OFFERS AID Paris' Consent Involves Question of Acceptance of Divorce of Debts From Meeting. London. France, Relgium and Italy have accepted the British invitation for a reparation conference, with the understanding that it shall take the form of a committee of experts under the authority of the present interallied reparations commission. America's decision to lencl her ad vice and co-operation in the confer ence seems to have lifted Europe out of the slough of depression. Secretary Hughes' prompt and de cisive response to Marqui3 Curzon's plea for American assistance has given impetus to a situation which has heretofore been marked by utter in ertia and for the first time British officials begin to see a rift in the mists which so long enveloped the problem. America's voice stressing the imper ative need of finding a suitable finan cial plan to prevent economic disaster in Europe, found prompt echoes in l';i ris, Brussels and Rome and before it became known late Saturday after- non at the British foreign office that (Trance, Belgium and Italy had all ac cepted the principle of an advisory conference of experts. While the British authorities would have preferred a full conference of ministers to liquidate tho reparation troubles, they hope the preliminary conference of experts will lead to a larger concil of allied and American statesmen. France's consent to enter tho ad visory conference of experts will in volve the question of acceptance of the American principle that inter allied debts and German reparations must bo divorced, a point upon which Premier Poincare heretofore has dif fered from Great Britain and the Uni ted States. France will also havo to face the question of reducing the amount of indemnity expected from Germany un der tho Verstailles treaty, which in the past has been fixed at 6,600,000, 000 pound sterling or 132,000,000.000 gold marks. This sum, and the ques tion of granting a moratorium to Ger many wero tho points which led to the failure of tho last expert bankers' commission of which J. P. Morgan was a member. If, as the British government an ticipates, M. Poincare agrees to these and other conditions it will then re main only for the nations participat ing in the conference to appoint He ir experts and formulate a program of procedure. Paris. An official communique, written by Premier Poincare and is sued nt the French foreign office Sun day night, reiterated tho French gov ernment's determination to refuse to agree to any reduction of the Ger man debt ns fixed by the Loudon conference in May, 1921. Tho communique insisted that a committee of experts, organized with in tho scope of the reparations com mission to investigate Germany's ca pacity for payment, has no authority to make any reduction in Germany's debt. It srid it considered that such a committee would be practically a mere addition to the present staff of experts of the reparations commission. Detroit. Subpena servers, who for nearly six months have been endeavor ing to serve a summons on Henry Ford in a damage suit, succeeded Sat urday by appearing at the "shooting" of a motion picture film in which Mr. Ford and a threshing machine were the star performers.

PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR. ALEXANDER REID Physician and Surgeon fJM TILLA - - OREGON WHY FIXE TREES SIGH T ITTLE BROWN BEAR lay watch ing the stars twinkle and wink at him through the brandies of the pine trees that grew Just outside the door of the cave where he and Mother Bear lived. Little Brown Bear was not sleepy, for he had taken a very long afternoon nap. But he meant to In still, just as his mother had told him to do, and not bother anyone by talk ing or moving about. He could hear his mother snoring at the other end of the cave. By and by the wind began to blow and the pine tree began to sigh and toss its branches. Little Brown Bear liked to hear the pine tree sigh. Its 5111(1' "Brown Bear Lay Watching Stars." sigh was soft and full of music and It often lulled Little Brown Bear to sleep. But tonight Little Brown Bear was not sleepy. So lie just lay quietly watching the stars wink and twinkle through the tossing branches and lis tening to the pine tree sighing in the wind. "I wonder what makes the pine tree sigh," he said at last to himself. He lay quiet a little while longer. Then slowly and as quietly as a clumsy little brown bear can move he got up and walked out of the cave. "What makes the pine tree sigh?" he asked of a little worm that glowed In the dark. But the little worm was stupid and could not help Little Brown Bear. Little Brown 'Bear heard a whir above his head and he looked up and saw a but Hying about. "Hello, bat," he cried. "Come down here a minute, will you?" That bat flew down and lighted on a bush by the side of Little Brown Bear. "You ought to be at home and In bed," said the bat, who was old, "Well, then," said Little Brown Bear, "so ought you." "Ho, I always stay up at night," said the bat. "You see, I sleep all day." "Well, don't be cross, please," said Little Brown Bear. "I want to ask you a question. What makes the pine tree sigh?" The bat listened. The pine tree close by was tossing its brandies back and forth and was sighing softly. The bat thought a moment "Why, it's the wind that makes the pine tree Sigh. Good-night, Little Brown Bear." "Oh, wait a minute," suid Little Brown Bear. "I want to ask you more questions. Why does ,the wind make the pine tree sigh?" "Oh, because It does," snapped the bat, getting cross, for he wanted to be off on his nightly travel. "Yes, but why does it?" still ques tioned Little Brown Bear, not at all satisfied with the answers. "Well, I guess It is because it hain't any fur coat or comfortable cave to sleep In. If you hadn't any, maybe ybu would sigh, too," said the bat, and off he flew. Little Brown Bear was nil alone. The wind had blown the clouds until the stars were hidden. The pine tree sighed louder and louder and then the other trees began to sigh, too. Little Brown Bear thought of his cave and his mother and off he shuf fled for home and snuggled down In Ids bed of leaves close to his mother. "I guess Mr. Bat Is right," he said sleepily, 'if I didn't have a nice fur coat and a nice cave to sleep in, I guess I would sigh like the pine tree." "What are you talking about?" asked his mother, but Little Brown Bear was fast asleep. (. 19:3, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) G. L.MeLE!XAN, M. D.

It means "married" and is the contracted form of the title "Land of Beulah." As an allegorical name. It was prophetically applied to Israel In Isaiah : "Thou Shalt no more he termed Forsaken ; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate; but thou snalt he called Hephzibah nnd thy land Beulah : for the Lord dellghteth In thee and thy land shall be married." When the vogue for religious names passed at the outset of the Twentieth century, Peulah suffered a temporary loss of popularity. But of recent years. It was thought sufficiently quaint and old-fashioned to undergo revival. Among the deeply religious, of course, It has flourished uninter ruptedly, being handed down from gen eration to generation to insure the per petuation of its heritage. It is regard ed as an especially lucky name and one which promises material, as well as spiritual, riches. Coral is Beulah's tallsmanie stone. It will bring her bodily health and give her great wisdom, according to an ancient legend. But It must never be chipped or broken If It Is desired to exercise its magic powers.

AT YOLK WEDDING QFTEN it really seems as if the V least Important personage con nected with the preparation for a large and festive wedding is the bridegroom. For one thing, strict so cial usage says that a bridegroom should not see his bride on the day of the wedding until the ceremony or immediately before it, so usually he remains at his own home, or a guest nt the home of a friend or relative of the bride If he is marrying a young woman In another town, until all preparations for the wedding have been made. If any last-minute ar rangements relative to the sending of luggage have to be. made, they are attended to by his best man, who Is a veritable go-between for the bride groom and the bride's family on the day of the wedding. Before the day of the wedding the bridegroom-to-be should make Inquir ies of ills bride concerning her bou quet and that of her attendants, for It is the privilege of the bridegroom to order these. He should never do It, however, without first consulting the bride, as the choice would naturally depend somewhat on the style of her wedding dress and the bridegroom's flowers would decidedly depend en tirely on the color of their frocks. The bride's bouquet and the bouquets of all her attendants had best be deliv ered at the home of the bride the morning of the wedding, but the bride groom should see that each bouquet bears one of his personal cards. Unless the bridegroom is married in the suit in which lie wishes to travel later, he remembers to send to the home of the bride a suitcase contain ing his traveling suit and various uressing accessories. The bridegroom, : as well as the bride, makes a speclai POiat to dress for the departure in ! an inconspicuous manner and would therefore lay aside the dress clothes light gloves, etc., for a get-up more : suitable for traveling. Before the wedding the bridegroom should put the fee for the clergyman hi a small white envelope and give It to his best man, who gives it back to the bridegroom after the ceremony, ' when he gives It to the clergyman p course In an Inconspicuous manner. Here Is something that the bridts j groom doesn't always remember to do, but It Is something that is quite neces sary, and that Is to bid the mothr- ' and father of the bride good-by ami' to compliment the mother for the wed ding entertainment, for he must re-j member that she Is his hostess and I that he Is the most honored of her i guests.
