CARD OF THANKS Our sincere thanks and apprecia tion are extended to the many kind friends and neighbors for their help fulness at the time of our bereave ment. Mrs. Percy Hughes and fam ily; Mrs. Lawrence Lutcher; Edwin Hughes; Arthur Hugh es. By DR. WM. C. STRAM, O. D. We are moving rapidly in on that day when romance is as plentiful as fuzz on a peach. For the benefit of those who came in late I will men tion we are talking about Valen tine's Day. (Berlin and Rome papers please copy). On Valentine's Day, hearts are trumps from Sister Sue, on up to Great Aunt Minerva and woe to the male who forgets it. Flowers, candy and lacy cards are in order and any lad who slips up on the remembrances is out xi or der. We are reminded of the old saying, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Which is all right, but who wants flies? In Eldora, la., a man dropped his billfold and it was eaten by a neigh bor's hog. That's one piggy bank he won't be able to crack in a hurry. Apparently billfolds of Morrow county taxpays were better treated. They paid taxes equalling more than the current year's roll in 1940, which means the financial status of the county was improved. Headaches, smarting, burning eyes are more often than not caused from severe eye-strain.

Rex Wheat Found High in Vitamin Content By USDA That both chemical analyses and baking tests show flour made from Rex wheat to be of superior quality in many respects is shown in official reports of the federal bureau of plant industry received at Oregon State college. Rex is the variety constituting 80 percent of Morrow county's wheat production the last two years, according to report of C. D. Conrad, county agent. Among other qualities Rex is shown by these tests to have the highest carotene content of any wes ten wheat with the exception of Jen kin club, the favorite winter wheat of western Oregon. Carotene is the basic source of vitamin A and, un less bleached out, gives flour a slight yellowish color. Although Rex wheat has tested considerably high in carotene con tent, flour made from it bleaches white without difficulty when de sired, the report adds. Officials of the Eastern Oregon Wheat league, concerned with recent milling discounts against Rex wheat, are pointing to these federal reports as indicating the surjerioritv of Rex flour. Rex, a hybrid originated at the Moro branch experiment station, has become the favorite winter wheat in most parts of the Columbia basin because of its high yields, smut resistance and hardiness. Millers have discounted the wheat after reporting difficulty with it in certain milling processes. In aking tests the federal bureau has reported Rex as unusual in that it combines a long "doughball" time usually associated with hard wheat with large particle size characteris tic of soft wheat. Rex or the Rex selections are list ed among the varieties that made the best cookies and cakes, while as to bread the report says that "it is STAR Reporter FRI.-SAT., FEB. 7-8 One Night in the Tropics with Allan Jones, Nancy Kelly, Abbott & Costcllo, Robt.

Federal income tax this year will be based on gross income instead of net income as in former years, an nounces J. W. Maloney, collector. The base also has been changed, so that single persons whose gross in come is $800 a year and married persons whose combined gross in come is $2000 a year, must file a return. Last year ' this base was $1000 for single persons and $2500 for married persons. The exemptions have also been lowered to $800 for a single person and $2000 for married persons. The credit of $400 for each dependent has not been changed. Last year nine million income tax returns were filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue. This year, part ly because of these changes, the bureau expects fifteen million re turns to be filed. To meet this great increase the bureau has augmented its force of field deputies. But if the taxpayers wait, as many of them do, until the last minute to file their returns, congestion will result, and many persons may not get their returns into the collectors' offices by mid night March 15. With the income tax the govern ment this year is also collecting the Defense Tax, which is an added rea son for promptness in filing the re turn. This tax and the income tax can be paid 'in one lump sum or in four equal quarterly installments. of interest to note that Rex and the two Rex selections were highest in loaf volume even though they were inferior in grain."

Spickerman, Agent KB CLOSE-OUT SALE GILLIAM FARMERS MAY NOT CUT TAILS OFF COWS Is it illegal to cut off a cow's tail? And how about plucking live geese? These two humane-angle queries were directed to Dr. W. H. Lytle of the animal division of the state de partment of agriculture, whose ans wer in each instance was "no." A farmer in one section of the state was reported to be docking the tails of his cows, leaving them about a foot long. Presumably the tails were a nuisance at milking time. Dr. Lytle pointed out that there is a law which makes it illegal to mutilate animals. A jail sentence and-or fine up to $100 is the legal penalty. This same law exempts, however, the dehorning of cattle or the docking of horses or sheep as practiced by stockmen. . On the premise that geese are animals, this same law would make illegal plucking of live geese.
