Uncle Sam got over $5,000,000 in income taxlj^g^l^* andabout
$3,000,000 went to our local communities for roads,
schoo’s and other P uWic services. Three cents Q Q

ed, “but stiff penalties for wil
ful violations can make the em
, ployment of children during
school hours expensive.”
Mr. Williams also stated that
farmers can protect themselves
from unintentional violation by
requiring an age certificate from

old enough for the job. These
certificates may be obtained from
