DEFICIENCY TAX ON
LIQUORS EXPLAINED

Internal Revenue Collector James J.
Brady has received from Washington
the following information regarding
the taxation OF liquors and cordials
under the deficiency tax law:
"All compounds known to the trade
as ltqueurs and cordials are taed re-
gardless OF whether or not they are
put In rectifying establishments or
compounded of tax-paid spirits. II IL
held that the term similar compound
as used in the act would appear to
include vermuths and like wine COM
pounds, bitters used as beverages,
cocktails, maraschino, cordnalized
liqueurs. fortified fruit juices and all
other compounds. the formulas Of
which. the methods Of preparation or
use make them sufficiently like
liquenrs and cordials to place them IN
the same class. 1t Is thought that
bucha gin and sloe gin are taxable
under the act as well as kummel, pep
perment and ginger cordials and rock
and rye"

Night Watch

ROME. N. Y, Nov. 23.--Mystery
surrounded the disappearance OF about
90 OF the choicest fowls on the poultry
farm of George Bags. at Brewerton'
on Oneida Lake. Twenty were taken
a few weeks ago; soon afterward
about about 20 more disappeared. and
week ago ten more joined the miss
ing.
The poultry house was double pad
locked, a homemade burglar alarm
was employed, and still the poultry
seemed to melt away. There were no
traces OF predatory animals. and the
superstitious wagged their heads
while Mr. Baggs was in despair.
A few days ago he put In the day

tween his poultry yard and the near

into Oneida Lake. As he watched, the
mystery was solved Four unusually
large geese from the farm OF Frank
Binn, across the river. had been
fraternizing with the Bagg hens all
summer and had been enticing them
to leave their home and go over to the
other farm.
The geese were seen solemnly wad-
ding down to the water. followed by
several hens. When the geese stepped
into the river in hen would fiutter
rev feet up and down the bank. and
then with squawk would hy or hop
onto the back OF q goose. Then.
squatting contentedly. the fowls were
reffied over TO the Binn farm. There
Mr.. Bagg found his missing fowls. the
geese having carried them all over ON
their backs.

will remain. This information does

Lapp and oxtfielder 0ldring are slat-
ed for sale or trade. An announce
ment to this effect will be made once

tatively agreed upon. Baker was a
dissatisfied player last season. He
held out for large contract as long
as possible and then fell below ex-
pectations. After the series he went
home without signing a contract.
In fact, Baker told Mack he wanted
more money and didn't care whether
he played again. Connie told him 1t
was up to him. Lapp and Oldring
are still capable men. but both were
more or less troublesome to Mack
during the past season, and II Is be-

are still good trading material. Now
