BOOK THOUGHTS "Books are keys to Wisdom's treasure; Books are gates to lands of plea sure; Books are paths that upward lead; Books are Friends. Come, Let us read," "Without doubt there is a most favorable period in every child's life for the reading of each book. If offered to him at just the right age, it appeals to his nature with peculiar, power, often to the extent of setting him on fire; if offered at any other, it may prove interesting, but it fails to become such a potent factor in his life. "Professor Frank Mc Murray. Books open up' new windows to the imagination. "There is more reasons for say ing grace before a new book than before a dinner" Lambe. "He that ne'er learns his A B C's Forever will a Blockhead be, But he that learns these letters fair; Shall have a coach to take the Air" Many times the reading of a book, has made the future of man. Emerson. Mail Early for Christmas Better a week early than a day late. If you care a rap, Wrap with care. Help to make this Christmas happy, Mail 'em early, make it snappy Early to buy early to mail, Early to reach the end of the trai.l Wrap and tie your packages securely, address plainly and be sure to put the addressee's name on the middle of the front of the package and the sender's name on the upper left hand corner. We will do our best to have your packages delivered by Christmas, but mail early in order that we may do this. . Your Postmaster and Clerks, RECORDER'S COURT NEWS ITEMS . C. Ray, Ostensible Detective, Goes to Halifax Jail (or Lack of Evidence at to Right to Carry Weapons. LIGHT DOCKET THIS WEEK A light week in His Honor's Court, enlivened only by the cap ture of an alleged bogus detec tive in the person of J. C. Ray. Ray had been working in one of the mills for several months and whispers of his claim to be a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool old sleuth had been coming to tre ears of the officers for some time. Last Saturday afternoon Chief Jackson frisked him and removed a gun, a blackjack and a mighty cute little badre, bear ing the title "Special Officer". Ray's sherlocking days had come to an end . Before the Recorder he floundered from one explana tion into another regarding his detectiveship, none of them plausible. Failing to give bond, he went to Halifax jail for the January term of Halifax Super ior Court. Otho Watkins, drunk and dis- ordery, paid a fine of 10.00 and costs. John Moody paid one dollar for riding a bicycle after dark without lights. Joe Thompson, drunk and disorderly, was fined $10.00 and costs.

A Christmas Poem Here comes Santa jolly and fat, Down the chimney he tumbles, He has on his head a little red hat, And with the toys he fumbles. Out of the bag a little doll comes, "For some little girl I 'sped, Who told Santa to bring her one; Why here is some specs', For granny I bet, Go look at the morning texts, Here's a drum and there's a gun, I bet this boy has some fun. Oh! here's a card which reads, Goodby, and a Happy Christmas" By Ivey Crouch 7-A Grade.

"The excess profits tax is re rear end of the frame partition j pealed as of January 1, 1922. between Johnson's Cafe and ! The rates for 19i!l ure unchanged Smith's Garage. Due to the fact that so few people were abroad at that hour, some delay was experienced in getting hose lines started from the mill hydrants and by the time water was being thrown on the buildings had been almost completely gutUd. Fire fighting was also handicapped for a while by the series of explosions from acetylene tanks, oil barrels and the gasoline tanks of burning automobiles in the garage. Good work was done in pre venting the flames from spread ing to adjoining buildings and across the street; in fact, had it not been for the help from the mills and the volunteer fire fight-j ing organization it is beyond question that much of ths busi ness section of Rosemary would have been destroyed. As it was the loss was around 20,000.00, including the garage building, furniture and fixtures and stock of automobile acces sories of J. C. Smith, the build ing ownsd by W. T. Fulgham, and the stock and fixtures of its tenants, Johnson's Cafe and the Rabil store Three automobiles which were being repaired in the garage were also destroyed. PEOPLES THEATRE ANNOUNCES POLICY Feature Pictures and Good Musical Comedies Every Week Provided Support Will Justify Them. BIG PROGRAM CHRISTMAS WEEK The management of the Peo pies Theatre have announced a new policy in the arrangement of the program for the theatregoers of this community which will be effective at once. Under this plan big feature pictures will be shown on Monday and Tuesday nights, a serial, a two reel Western picture and a picture and a good comedy reel on Wednesday nights. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, tne best feature pictures procurable will be shown together with a musical comedy production by a cast of not less than ten people. Each of these Musical Comedy Companies will make a complete change of program each day. In putting on these musical comedies the last three days of each week, Manager Robinson is trying to meet the demand that exists in the community for good clean musical revues. The pub ic that does not care for the musical shows can come in after the musical program is over aid e the pictures at the regular feature price. Harry Meyer's Musical Come dy Company has been secured for the entire Christmas week in addition to six of the highest class feature pictures that can be secur! ed. Pathe News weekly will be shown on Monday and Thursday nights and on other nights an additional comedy reel will be shown. This new program is quite a step forward in amusement offer ings for the community and the theatre management solicits the patronage and support of all who want high class pictures and clean and clever musical shows to become permanent institutions here. Adv. Subscription Provisions of New Revenue Act! "Enactment of new revenue legislation has brought to the offices of Collectors of Internal Revenue a flood of inquiries re garding various provisions. The Revenue Act of 1921 became ef fective November 23, 1921, "un- "The sutax rates for the calen dar year 1921 are unchanged, and range from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $.5,000 and M.OOO to 65 per cent on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000. For the calendar year 1922 the surtax rates range from 1 per cent on the amount of net income be tween $G,000 and $10,000 to 50 per cent on the amount by which the net income exceeds 200,000. "The exemption allowed for a dependent is increased from $200 to 400. Married persons living with husband or wife and heads of families are allowed a personal exemption of $2,500 (instead of $2,000) unless the net income is in excess of $5,000, in which case the personal exemption is only $2,000. The act provides that in no case shall the reduction of the personal exemption from $2,500 to $2,000 operate to in crease the tax which would be payable if the exemption were $2,500 by more than the amount of the net income in excess of $5,000. This is to overcome the disparity in the case of two tax payers, one of whom is just within the lower $2,000 exemp tion and the other just within the higher 2,500 exemption. "Single persons, and married persons not living with husband or wife, are allowed an exemp tion of $1,000. Non-resident aliens are allowed a single per sonal exemption of $1,000. Per sons having gross incomes for 1921 of $5,000 or over are requir ed to make a return, regardless of the amount of net income. "Provision is made for the re peal as of January 1, 1922 of the tax on stockholders of a personal service corporation as such. After that date such corpor ations are to be taxed in the same manner as other corpora tions. "The income tax on corpora tions for the calendar year 1922 and thereafter is increased from 10 to 124 per cent. The $2,000 exemption heretofore allowed corporations is to be granted only to those corporations whose net income is 25,000 or less. "Many persons are under the impression ihat the taxes on ice cream, soft drinks, etc., monthly returns of which are required, have been repealed with the en actment of the new act. These taxes remain in force until the end of the calendar year 1921. "No change is made in tax on admissions, except that after January 1,1921 there will be no tax where admission is 10 cents or less. Ltlective January 1, 1922, the folio a ing taxes are also abolished: on musical instru ments, sporting goods, chewing gum, portable electric fans, ther mos bottles, fur articles, plea sure boats and pleasure canoes. unlesssold for more than $100. i toilet articles, medicines, and numerous articles of apparel. "On and after January 1,1922, the tax on various works of art is reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per cent, the tax on Cindy from 5 per cent to 3 per cent and the tax on carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purses, fans, etc. from 10 per cent of sales price in ex cess of specified amounts to 5 per cent ol sales price in excess of specified amounts.
