The Danville Register tells a
story of a Page county, Virginia,
farmer who lost his knife while
barreling potatoes, having sold
his crop TO a New York firm.
Next seed time he thought he
would get something extra, so he
ordered his seed potatoes from a
Michigan firm. When he opened
the barrel he found his long lost
knife, and also found that he had
paid a high price for potatoes
which he himself had sold some
three months earlier.

Must Give Stamped Receipts.

The general attorney Of the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western railroad has
written the following letter to the COM
missioner of internal revenue making in
quiry to affiXing revenue stamps to
shipments of milk on that railroad: Here
tofore We were transporting milk over our
line through an express company, but We
have recently taken charge of the trans
portation of this milk ourselves Most Of
this milk is carried upon regular passenger
trains and the earnings upon this business
has been reported to the different state
commissions and the interstate commission
as express earnings. We do not issue re-
ceipts for the milk received and the ques-
ton is, are we required, under paragraph
of section s, to affiX revenue stamps to
the waybills? 1t does not seem to me that
we should be required to affiX these
stamps
The commissioner rules that Congress
struck out the word express and the
words express company in the paragraph
retired to, and that as the Delaware and
Lackawanna road is not carrying on an ex-
press business, it is required to give 10
persons shipping milk stamped receipts.
