Gibbs, Manager Why "Station to Station" Long- Distance Calls Cost You Less • « You can save about twenty per cent on your toll * bills by using our "Station to Station" long-distance service. To complete a call for a telephone number or for a listed telephone rather than for a particular person requires less time and avoids holding the line at the distant point while search is made for the person - wanted. Here are some samp»e forms for putting in "Station itfStation" calls. Signal the operator In the usual way and ask her for long distance. When the long-distance operator answers say: "Give me St. Loois; Mala 1IML Will talk to anyone." _ » "Give me Milwaukee, Wis.; Smith,. Brown ft Company. WiU talk to anyone." "Give me Louisville, Ky.; James Robinson's residence, 648 Mulberry St. Will talk to anyone." In a very great majority of cases it is found tlMf: a call made in this way either reaches the particular , person wanted or the person who answers can take the message or handle the business,. " Specimen rates for "Station to Station" and other ; classes of long-distance service may be found in the telephone directory. The manager will be glad to give additional information.

Too Modi Hootch A native of Woodstock was taken quite seriously ill a short time ago and on being questioned by the doctor who attended him admitted that he had been drinking moonshine whiskey. As a result of the confession three homes in that city were raided. In one of the homes a small still was found in operation and in the second a still was found but not in operation nor was any whiskey to be found, while the third place raided produced only parts of a still, but no booze.1 Woodstock authorities are determined 1 to wipe out moonshinging in that city, j A girls' band of fourteen pieces has been organized in the high school at; Delavan, Wis.

At that we think, however, your great success will come from planting them in lakes and the deeper the lakes the better. They should be planted in lakes having inlets, as the fish enter these inlets to spawn. You will find them starting to spawn about the 15th of September and they may continue thru until the middle of January or the first of February. In our state they furnish tfee best J ^very married fishing during the months of July ^ r must make and August, which only serves to make them the more ideal game fish as this is the vacation time of the year when our people go fishing. In different bodies of water the fish attafn to different sizes. I have seen some fish from parents of eight or nine inches in length grow to a four and three-quarters pound fish when planted in lakes near Spokane, Washington, a distance of about four hundred miles from where the eggs were taken. The story of the silVer trout is this: The blueback or sockeye salmon only ascends those streams for pawning purposes which have lakes as their sources. The mature salmon returning to spawning purposes reaches to this lake and remains | must be iiicluded in the return Of in come. Has your wife any income from any source whatsoever? If so it must be included in your return or reported in a separate return of income. Did you receive any directors' feet or trustees' fees in the course of the year? Do you hold any office in a benefit society from which you receive income? Answers to all of these questions are necessary to determine whether a person has an income sufficiently large to require that a return be filed. Every married couple living toa return, either separate or jointly as desired, if their aggregate net income was $2,000 or over, or if the aggregate gross in- . come was $5,000 or more a year. | Gross income includes practically every dollar the tax-payer received during the year of 1921. ! Net income is gross income late the exemption and the deductions specifically provided for by the act Probably the most important change effecting men of moderate income is in the amount of exemption allowed^ Under the act of 1918 a married with an income of $5,000 or less was entitled to an exemption of $2,000. Under the act of 1921 the exemption is raised to $2,500. The act of 1921 also provides an exemption of $400 for each dependent under eighteen years of age or incapable of self sup- DR. N. J.

This is the only species .of salmon the fry of which does not all go to sea the first spring after their birth. •So it was that about twenty-five thousand' years ago, at the breaking up of tiie ice age, when the ice moved off what is now the site of the city of Seattle, and for the first time disclosed the outlines of "the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the Pacific coast line of the state of Washington, there were a number of those blueback or sockeye salmon caught in the lakes thus formed and prevented from reaching the sea. Some of these lakes did not have their salt water mtlets restored for thousands of years and in this time these salmon entirely lost their sea-going instinct. This is the story of the so-called silver trout or the landlocked blueback or sockeye salmon, told possibly not quite so briefly as you would like to have had it. In the great majority of the counties of our state the sportsmen are very enthusiastic over the silver trout and there is no finer pan fish to be found in this state than the silver trout. In some of the waters ! which we have placed thehi they have become very gamy.
