GOODS ALL RETURNED.

Editor of the Farmer, Sir:- note that some of the newspapers have printed an item to the effect that when some of the liquor and cigars taken from the Imperial club in the recent raid upon 1t were returned, there was a shortage. This is not the fact The goods were returned in good order and complete. The police only did their duty. and we have no com plaint to make of them But who are the men who are seeking to disturb this organiza tion. which is composed of workingmen who are organized un- der a charter of the state, exactly like dozen other clubs. from which the Imperial club only differs in that its members are of the workers instead of business and professional men. We do believe that all social clubs should be treated alike
 Hu-- cub is designed especially for the benefit of workingmen. It has reading room and library, and it af- lords wholesome surroundings for men who would otherwise be compelled to patronize the saloons.

Larned Leads All
 Tenn..S Champions

The annual ranking of the lawn ten- his players of the United States for the past season was issued yesterday. William A. Larned. the national cham pion. again stands at the top. in a class by himself.
 In the remainder of the list the work of the Ranking committee-Dr. P. B. Hawk University of Illinois. Urbana, Ill-, chairman; Beals c. Wright. Bos- N. J.-came as a surprise. although. fin its main features. the singles list, always the most important Is regard ed as the best that has ever been tab ulated
 The unexpected happened when wal lace F. Johnson. University of Penn sylvania. found himself in third place. That he richly deserved his station was the opinion of the experts. yet the two Cal'fornians. M. P. Mclaughlin and M. H. Long. because of their po- sitious on the Davis International Cup team. were regarded as being sure of a rating within the first five. Instead. N. w. Niles. Harvard. and R. D. Lit tie complete the small but honored group at the top. Mclaughlin and Long. 1t is said. had hardly accom- plished sufficient work to entitle them to higher ranking.
 1T. H. Hackett and F. B. Alexander, national champions. lead the doubles As challengers. N. E. Mclaughlin and c. J. James follow. with the Harvard pair. Niles and Dabney. next. In some quarters there is a feeling that tice. inasmuch as many believed that T. R. Pell and W. c. Grant had won sufficient tournaments to lift them in to third place.

YALE'S PRESIDENT
 UPHOLDS FOOTBALL
SAYS FEW INJURIES IS SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR GAME THAT DIvERTs ROwDY ENERGIES.

New Haven. Dec 31.-Arthur T. Hadley. President of Yale University, who has been consistently quiet re- garding. the football situation ever since the close of the season. Is quot ed in the Yale alumni weekly today as follows:-
 Football at Yale during the present season has worked very we'll. We have had number of sprained ankles but only two or three cases of more seri- ous injury. Considering the number of boys that play football. doubt whether this is a much worse record than baseball would show. At any rate. 1t is a small price to pay for a game which diverts the energies of one kind of boys from rowdyism and another kind from drinking"
 If we want to eleminate mass plays we have It in our power to do so at any time by abolishing all gridiron lines and making one comprehensive rule that the ball changes hands ev- cry down unless the opponents have had fair and equal chance to get possession of 1t. This would abolish mass play, root and branch. -Th~ pres ent rules have had some effect . this direction, but as long as the colleges want to reserve their strength for the final games they will tend to meet weak opponents with simple forma- tions. and that of course. means the massing of men,"

MAYOR WILL HEAD INDUSTRIAL
 FOR FOURTH TIME
Persuasive Committee W0u,du't Take
 No for an Answer.

Surprise His Honor at His Home, In-
 form Him of Their Decision, and Persist Until They Receive His Ac- ceptance.
 Mayor E. T. Buckingham has yield ed to the wishes of the directors of the Industrial league. and will again lead the forces of that organization as its president for the fourth consecutive season, or since the league has been in existence. Mayor Buckingham when he was elected to the presidency of the league last January announced that the season would be. his last as presiding officer: but he has reconsid- cred his statement. and will be with the boys at least another year, if not longer.
 The directors held a special confab at the Y. M. C. A. last evening talk ing over the matters which are to be brought up at the annual meeting to be held next Tuesday evening. A nominating committee consisting of Peter A. Colltung, manager of the Crane No. team, Fred Wetstine, Dietz. manager of the Holmes & Ed wards team. were appointed. to bring in the names of officers for the com 'ng year at the meeting. The managers
 
 any other name for president than Mayor Buckingham
 The committee and a few of the managers worked the squeeze play on the Mayor. when after calling his home on the phone, they informed Mrs. Buckingham that they were on the way to confer with the mayor. His honor was taken by surprise when the baseball magnates swooped down upon him. They were received cordial ly. but were informed that whatever talk they might use, would be of no avail.
 Mayor Buckingham stated that he fully appreciated the honor, but would find it almost impossible to carry on the duties of the office, because of press of other business. The commit tee would not consider a negative an- swer, and after an hours pulling and hauling were rewarded by the Mayor consenting to become the leader of the league for another season.
 The committee left elated with the result of their work. with the promise of the mayor that he would be pres ent at the meeting Tuesday evening.
 As a reward for their faithful ser vices in the past. the other officers of the league from the Secretary down will be again at the annual meeting.

RETURNS MUST BE
 FOR CALENDAR YEAR
COLLECTORS HAVE NO POWER TO CHANGE TERMS OF LAW IMPOSING FEDERAL TAX ON CORPORATE NET INCOME.

The internal revenue bureau Is re- ceiving many letters from corpora tions who desire to known if a report cannot be made for some yearly period not ending Dec 31. The law. however, is conclusive upon this point. The re- port must be for the calendar year. Many corporations have a fiscal year not coterminous with the calendar year and their annual inventory is taken with reference to the former.
 The collector has no discretion in the matter. The law must be execut- eraly understood it will save much useless letter-writing concerning this particular question. Lumber dealers are in particular frame of mind, their timber yards are buried in snow, and their office clerks and bookkeepers do under present conditions of tempera- ture, etc
 In spite of all the excuses which appear to be reasonable from one point of view an actual inventory must be made at the close of this month. If the law Is to be compiled with. It is expected that every cor porat.on in the district will be furnish ed with a copy of the regulations and blank forms for making returns, on or before January l. If, as may hap pen, any corporation has not been list for law and blanks should be made at once to the collector or deputy collec- tors in different parts of the district.
 Failure on the part of any cor poration, joint stock company, associ- ation, or insurance company liable to not excuse it from making the re- turn required by law, or relieve it from any penalties for failure to make the return in the prescribed time"
