JAMES P. GALLAGHER
The True Voice of last week con
tained an account of the death of
James P. Gallagher at his home at
1311 Grandview boulevard, Sioux
City, Iowa, Thursday) February 1st,
at the age of G1 yeais. He was a
pioneer of this city and will be re
membered hero as being employed as
a telegrapher at the C, & N. W. depot
about twenty-five years ago. He was
a brother-in-law of Mrst Fannie Gal
lagher of this city. He leaves a
widow and one daughter, Miss Hazel.
CROSSROADS OF NEW YORK
BLENDS SMILES AND TEARS
An all-star cast, including many of
the Mark Sennett favories, interpre
ting “The Crossroads of New York,”
the special Sennett comedy-melo
drama at the Royal Theatre on Sun
day and Monday, February 25 and 26.
The list of players includes: Eddie
Gibbon, Billie Bevan, Charles Murray.,
Dot Farley and Mildred June,all popu
lar artists in Sennett short comedies.
In addition tho cast lists such eminent
screen artists as Kathryn McGuire,
George 'O’Hara, Herbert Standing,
Noah Beery and Ethel Grey Terry.
“The Crossroads of' New York”
marks Mr. Sennett’s second endeavor
this year in the comedy drama field of
films. Several years ago he won wide
sprcal fame with his production of
“Mickey,” but after that left the
serious side of films alone until last
fall when he made “Molly 0,” which
attained even greater success than
“Mickey.” Hig present picture is a
blend of the comedy and drama that
distinguished both its predecessors,
depicting the adventures of a country

good and becomes involved in the
financial game of Wall Street.
INCOME TAX FACTS.
In making out his income tax re
turn for the year 1922, the taxpayer
is required to include all items of
gross income. In the case of a store
keeper the gross income consists,
usually of the gross profits on sales,
together with income from othei
sources. The returns must show the
gross sales, purchases, and cost of
goods sold. To reflect net income
correctly, and to ascerta i gross in
come, inventories are ordinarily re
quired as of the beginning and end
of each taxable year. The profes
sional man, doctor, lawyer, dentist,
must include all fees and other com
pensation for professional service.
The farmer is required to report us
gross income all profits derived from
the sale or exchange of farm pro
duces, including crops and live stock,
whether raised on the farm or pur
chased and resold. A farmer who
rents his farm on the crop sharing
basis must report such income for
the years in which the crops are sold.
Profits obtained from the sale or
rental of farm lands also must be
reported.
In order that they may obtain full
advantage of the deductions from
gross income to which they tire en
titled, taxpayers are advised by col
lectors of internal revenue to study
carefully tha instructions on the
forms for making returns under the
head “Income from Business or Pro
fession.”
The following are the dates that a
representative of the internal revenue
office will be in this district:
Bassett—February 23.
Stuart—February 24.

had been bothered with disordered
kidneys for a long time. My kidneys
caused me a great deal of annoyance
by their disordered condition and I had
water sacks under my eyes. I could
get no rest at night and was tired out
most of the time. I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and could see a change for]
the better from the very beginning.'
About six boxes of Doan’s cured me!
and I have not had any return of the
trouble. I am glad to recommend this
remedy from the splendid cure I re
ceived from its use.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Conklin had. Foster-Milburn
