Set Farm Income Tax School For Consultants Tax practitioners and con­ sultants from northeastern Illinois will be brought up to date on latest federal and state income tax rules and regulations during a two-day s* hool Dec. 16 and 17 at the Old Town hall in Crystal Lake. The Farm Income Tax school is one of forty being presented throughout the state by the University of • Illinois Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice: George Young, McHenry county Extension adviser with the University of Illinois, says the' school is restricted to persons who prepare income tax returns for others. While generally oriented to preparing farm tax returns, the schools will also offer information relating to all types of income tax returns, Young adds. The Chicago and Springfield districts, Internal Revenue Service, and the Illinois Department of Revenue are cooperating in presenting the schools. Specially trained in­ structors for the school will be from those agencies. Special attention will be given to problem federal in­ come tax topics such as 1975 Tax Reduction Act; Pension Reform; What's New; Capital Gains and Losses; Com­ prehensive Farm Problem; Net Operating Losses; Com­ prehensive Urban Problem; Illinois Income Tax. Major emphasis will also be given to changes and new in­ terpretations of the Illinois state income tax law. Advance registration is required, and only persons who have pre-enrolled will be able to attend. Enrollment will be limited at the schools to the number that can be ac­ commodated comfortably. Enrollees will be assigned to the location of their choice on a first-come first-served basis; and then to the location of their second and third choices.

Other members may be continuing in projects that they worked on last year.

Young people 8 years or older joining 4-H for their first time will be taking projects such as beginning foods or clothing, or beginning livestock, dog or cat care, arts and crafts, horsemanship, or one of the many other projects available to urban and rural youth.

ILLINOIS\ 000 WITH JOHN HkEISER HISTORIAN SANGAMON STATE UNIVERSITY THE "ROBIN'S EGG RENAISSAiNCt" Better known for pork than for peotry, Chicago' experi­ enced a remarkable decade of, literary and artistic productivi­ ty between 1910 and 1920. A brief, fragile, "robin's egg ren­ aissance" in the words of Sher­ wood Anderson, it left a lasting imprint on the nation's cultural history. The lake city boasted many attractions for aspiring artists and writers. Wealth, jmmi- grants, and churches made Chicago the cultural center of the Midwest. Among other things,0 philanthropists en­ dowed and supported the Chicago Symphony directed by Theodore Thomas, the New­ berry Library, and the Art In­ stitute. Where in the Midwest but Chicago could one see Isadora Duncan dance or view the works of Henri, Matisse, Duchamps, and Picasso? Chicago provided the ano­ nymity, the freedom, and the company of other young Bohe­ mians not available in the small towns. Margaret Anderson ex­ pressed her sense of rebellion in autobiography when she de­ clared "IM won't be cornered, and I won't stay suppressed. This book is the record of these refusals." Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology shocked those in the Lewis- town, 111., area as he attempted to describe life as it was in the small town. In this springtime decade the young Carl Sandburg from Galesburg; Vachel Linusay from Springfield; Witter Bynner, Arthur Fricke, Marjorie Seiffert, and George Cram Cooke from the Daven- port-Rock Island area; Floyd Dell from Quincy and Moline; and Theodore Dreiser, Ben Hecht, Sherwood Anderson, and a score of others from small towns in Wisconsin, In­ diana, or, Ohio arrived in Chicago and found a suppor­ tive atmosphere. A Bohemia appeared center­ ing about the literary salon' kept by Floyd Dell and Margaret Curry at 57th Street and Stony Island; about Jack Jones' ("I give them the high­ brow stuff until the crowd^ grows thin and then 1 turn on the sex faucet")- Dill Pickle Club; and .about Schologl's Restaurant where Edgar Lee Masters, Sherwood Anderson, and Carl Sandburg could be found sharing the company of newspaper writers Harry Han­ sen, Burton Roscoe, Ben Hecht, and Justin Smith. At each place they exchanged ide­ as and criticism and gained strength. Unable to live on congenial company alone, the young art­ ists earned money and saw their work published because Chicago provided five sympa­ thetic and important literary journals. The oldest and most conservative was the Dial, pub­ lished in Chicago from 1880 to 1919 b^ Francis Fisher Browne and in whose pages are found important works of Hamlin Garland. The Chap book was pub­ lished by Stone and Kimball and carried the work of such local writers as George Bair McCutchean and Robert Herrick. Margaret Anderson published the Little Review and continued to encourage young writers even when finan­ cial pressure forced her to move to a tent on the shores of Lake Michigan. Floyd Dell edited the Friday Literary Re­ view and provided a few dollars to sustain the lives of aspiring critics who often sold the books they reviewed to buy their next meal. Perhaps the most important outlet was Harriett Monroe's Poetry: A Magazine in Verse which published Vachel Lind­ say's early work and contrib­ uted to a literary tradition in Chicago which attracted young writers, provided encourage­ ment, and even paid for their efforts. Perhaps because this genera­ tion of artists came from small towns, they appreciated Chicago. Dell wrote; "I had seen beauty there, enough to till my heart." They joined Instant Replay PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1975 radical causes, "the red ink fraternity,"-as H. L. Mencken put it, and they re-introduced sex into American letters. "We had the notion," Sherwood Anderson wrote, "that sex had something to do with people's lives." They portrayed life realisti­ cally and wrote free verse if they were poets. Together they contributed an impressive vol­ ume of novels, poetry, and criticism, a "robin's egg renais­ sance" amidst the power,- growth, and dirt of the city.
