The following article appeared In
February Issue of "Bualneaa Review,"
official paper of the Fourth Federal
Reserve Bank district:
Business haa laid aalde ita finer raiment and Is now wearing ita plain,
everyday working clothes, which are
more serviceable and Just about aa
comfortable.
Q&ulte frequently In the paat we
have stated that bustnesa la gradually
regaining Ita health, and that Improve
ment la ateady, though alow. In reiterating the assertion, we acknowledge
that It Is still necessary, however, that
a measuring stick with some pretty
fine marka Is required to determine
the Improvement In some directions.
The road over which business had
to travel In 1921 was not a smooth
one. Many ot the difficulties have
been carried over Into the present
year, but recently Industry Is showing
a tendency to cease brooding over the
paat and la finding more courage In
considering the present and the future
with the purpose of moving ahead.
The outlook for 1922 la one of hopefulness for a slow but genuine recovery until the place la reached that we
like to call normal.
The eye ot the alert public la discovering those Industries that have
been adjusted to meet present conditions, and, aa this same kind of feeling Is developed in respect to all bualneaa, the time of the readjustment
period will be shortened.
Foreign trade aa a safety valve for
production la absolutely esaenUal tor
future prosperity, and without minimising the Importance of foreign trade
aa affecting the Industrial and financial well beelng In this country, there
are plenty of opportunities for business and finance In caring for ths
needs ot the 110,000,000 people In this
country. Instead, therefore, of assuming that the developments here muat
wait for developments elsewhere, bust-
ness men are finding a response, however feeble, to their efforts toward reviving domestic trade.
World business Is closely competitive, and to engage In it will require
business organisations keyed to com.
pate.
Business men intending to engage la
foreign trade find in their efforts to
stimulate domestic trade that they are
In reality fitting their organizations
to handle foreign trade In their respective lines.

INSPECTION OT MAIL
SERVICEJ ROUTES
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT IS DESIROUS   OF   LESSENING  THE
WORK   OF  CARRIERS  TO
SPEED   UP PROMPT
DELIVERIES
By direction of the Poet Office Department, postmasters throughout the
country have recently made an Inspection of the rural routes from their
offices. The purpose waa that they
might ascertain by personal observation and make report whether the
roada used were In good condition for
travel, the routea well arranged, boxes
porperly erected, so ss to be easily
reached hy the carriers without difficulty and without obstructing travel.
:he carriers serving their routea aa
officially prescribed, the schedule observed, and whether the faml'.lea that
wore served were satisfied with the
service rendered, or there were Ira
provementa which cou'd be suggested
In the Interest ot the patrona or the
Department.
It became necessary, In connection
with the Inspections, to request many
patrons to take action to the end that
their boxes might conform with the
regulations as to kind, condition, location, or height, and In having the
name of the owner plainly printed on
them. Also, to brlag to the attention
of road overseers or other responsible
persons the need for Improvement In
roads or repair or construction of cul
verts or bridges.
It Is the desire of the Department,
and Ita purpose, to provide adequate
and convenient service, so far as may
be possible, to alt pereons residing In
rural communities, but this end can
not be attained without the full cooperation ot the patroas In the efforts
of postmasters and carriers to serve
them promptly, regularly and satisfactorily.
Whatever facilitates the work of
the carrier Is of direct benefit to the
patrons, for the greater the ease and
epeed with which a carrier may cover
his route the earlier and better the
service afforded.
So, patrons of rural delivery can
greatly help themselves by helping
their carrier, seeing to It that roads
are kept In good condition and prompt

Another great assistance that patrons can render carriers la by keeping themselves supplied with and using stamps instead of placing unstamped mall, with money for tha
purchase of the required postage, in
the boxes. This delaye the carrier
and sometimes Imposes a great hard
ship on him, especially In cold or
stormy weather. If preferred, stamped
envelopes, either printed or plain, may
be obtained from the carrier, are of
good quality, and coat but little more
than the value ot the stamps upon
them, and are redeemable at the value
of the stamps it damaged, but returned In a practically whole condition. If neceeeary to place money In
a box, It should be put In a coin holding receptacle or be properly wrapped
ao as to be easily picked up by the
carrier.
Money for tbe purchase of money
orders should not be left In the boxes,
but should be handed to the carrier
and a receipt obtained.

The Amherst High cagers found Utile difficulty In taking the measure of
the Rocky River outfit to the tune of
a 31-13 score at the local gym Saturday night. The game, although onesided, was Interesting and full of
thrills from start to finish.
The visitors are and have been
strong bidders for the Cuyahoga Coun
.y championship and have a squad of
able players. They were, however,
unable to keep the pace with the locals and dropped the game to tho disabled Amherst team. Captain "Ted"
Neumeister was out of the game on
account of Illness and It watt predicted
that the locals would have a stiff game
withot his services. Coach Durltng
solved the problem by shitting Monger
to forward and Menz taking his place
at guard.
. Tbe first halt waa a complete walkaway for the locals, L. Neumeister
caging five field goals and three foul
goals and Monger three field goals.
Until the laat minute of play in the
first half tbe visitors were unable to
cage a field goal, two foul goals being
their only scoring. A field goal each
from Lang and Cook of the visitors
wero made In the last minute of play.
At the beginning of the last naif,
Oorr replaced Mens at guard and Monz
took Monger's forward. In this period
Neumeister dropped In three Held
goala and Einwachter one. At the be
ginning of tho last quarter Monger
went back into tho game at center,
Baumhart went is as forward, Gorr
and Einwachter retiring. Neumeister
again scored at this time with a field
goal and two foul goala. Coach Durl-
ing run In the remainder of his squad,
Smith, Cahl and Frederick, in the
laat few minutes ot play.
Despite the fact that the Amherst
lineup underwent several changea in
the last half, tbe visitors were only
able to drop In two field goals and two
foul goals. Cook scored the two foul
goals and Brown and Lang the two
Held goala.

Wednesday, February 22, has been
set aside through the cooperation of
The Farmers Elevator Co. and the Amherst Business Men's association, as
Farmers' Day." The Farmers Eleva-
or company has arranged to conduct
jpeclal  demonstrations  of  farm   ma-
hlnery and to have representatives
from several manufacturers ot fertilizers and other farm supplies on band
to explain fully any questions that
may be asked.
Special prlcea on merchandise will
be effective for thla day In Amherst
stores and through special arrangement, the stores will be open all day.
Various items will be offered which
will make tt worth your while to take
advantage of. Schmauch Bros., local
Ford dealers, have also arranged to
have a representative of the Ford Motor company on hand to explain the
pointa on the use of the tractor to»
farming. Motion pictures entitled
"Power Farming" will be shown at the
Empire theater during the afternoon,
at which two complete shows will be
given. An agricultural expert will give
a lecture along with the pictures, admission free.
The new requirement of the Income
tax la*- that returns shall be made of
gross Income of $5,000 or more regardless of the amount of net Income
upon which the tax Is assessed, necessitates careful computation on the
part of the taxpayer. "Gross Income"
ndudes practically every dollar received   by   tho   taxpayer   during   the
ear 1921 in salaries, wages, commissions, rents, royalties, Interest on
bank deposits, cash dlvldonds on
stock, "or income from any aource
whatsoever." "Net Income" Is gross
income less certain deductions provided for by the act, including all business expenses incurred in the conduct
of a business, trade, profession, or vo
cation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deductible aa a business expense
when made for the purchase of articles more or less permanent In character, or for permanent improvement
ot property. For example, a merchant
would not be allowed bo deduct the
amount expended In tbe erection of a
new store, or a farmer the cost of a
new tractor or threehlng machine,
since such Investmente are held to be
capital Investmente. The lav. ex
preasly prohibits the deduction of family or living expenses, such as rent tor
a dwelling, repairs to a dwelling, cost
of food and clothing for the family,
education of children, servant'a wagea,
