NEW INTERNAL REVENUE LAW.

For the benefit of shippers through
out the state, a great many OF whom
are in doubt as to the provisions of
the new Emergency Internal Revenue
Law, so far as it applies to freight
shipments, the Southern Pacific Com
pany, through Freight Traffic Man
ager c. w. Luce, is endeavoring to
make all points clear.
''The law provides that one cent
war revenue stamp be placed on each
bill of lading, manifest, or similar
memorandum" says Luce. '"The ship
per must affix this stamp to the bill
of lading, and the railroads cannot
accept and forward a shipment until
this is done. Such is the ruling of
the United States treasury depart
ment.
'The department has also ruled
that where freight is accepted at
non-agency stations, it must be re-
ceipted for by the conductor accept
ing it. He must see to it that the
stamp is attached to each of such
receipts and cancelled as required by
regulations before such shipment can
be accepted. In the case af perish
ables or other instances where such
receipt cannot be given by conduct
ors, the goods may be accepted and
transported in advance Of the al
the receipt must be delivered to the
destination agent and he must re-
quire the stamp from the cOnsignee.
To make it even palmer, the law
provides that this stamp must be
affixed before the railroads can ac
cept shipment; and in case of per-
ishables, they cannot deliver the
shipment until the stamp is affixed
On the receipt and cancelled. The
by any person or corporation is pun
ishable in the federal courts.
THE shipper or person is requir
ed 70 cancel the stamp, by writing
across the face his initials and the
date. Some shippers have been un-
der the impression that, because the
carriers have a limited supply of
stamps on hand for the accommoda
tion of their customers, the stamps
were to be distributed by the roads
free. This impression is erroneous.
The law provides that the shipper
pay for the stamp, affix, and cancel
it.
For the convenience of its Gus
toners, the Southern Pacific has dis
tributed a limited supply of stamps
to its agents, that they may be OBJ
tanned from the latter until the gov
ernment has completed it's arrange
ments for distributing them through
its own agencies. .

would be q. good investment, if we'll
done. Such walks are far cheaper in
the end than any other continuous
type equally satisfactory and durable
1t so happens, however, that many
farmers cannot conveniently under
take the construction of a long walk
with the certainty that work will not
be interrupted, and walks of this
character should be a continuous
operation, if the most economical re-
suits are to be obtained. If the far
mer can afford to employ an expert
enced contractor to do the work, well
and good. If not, he should go about
1t in another way.
Some years ago a firm of enterpris-
Ing young men, engaged in general
contracting in a Pennsylvania town
of three or four thousand inhabitants.
They noticed that all the ltttle-used
streets had board sidewalks. These
were constantly rotting away or the
ends OF the board would become
loose and dangerous, warping with
exposure and presenting an obstruc-
ton to pedestrians. Numerous COM
plants and frequent threats of suits
for damages were filed with Town
Council at each meeting of that
august body. Noting this the young
contractors decided that good open
ing for increased business was at
hand They did not interfere with
the professional sidewalk makers.
They simply began the manufacture
of concrete slabs and made it
profitable business.
A farmer can follow the same plan.
The method W Ould be to make few
shallow boxes each about 8 feet long,

CONCRETE SLABS FOR FARM
WALKS ARE, EASILY MADE

The following is a true description
OF the situation to be found on many
prosperous farms: "A comforta BILE
ana well-built house, tastefully fur
nlshed' wide porch, affording pro-
lection from sun and rain; substantial
earn and outbuildings. Between these
buildings run the pathways or walks
USED many times each day, but on
hundreds of farms they are simply
thoroughfares of mud during frequent
periods. but especially in the spring,
when the frost is coming out They
are false and discordant note in an
otherwise attractive environment"
Now, the farmer who fails to es-
ttaplish good walks about his prem
lses can no longer plead prohibitive
cost or lack of time. and this is the
season for him to remedy the sltua-
tion. II is the purpose to set forth
briefly method of doing this at
minimum outlay and by means SO
easy that it will seem like play to
have a substantial walk from build
ing to building. or from the house to
the garden-something an intelligent
boy of mechanical bent could accom-
plish.
To put down a concrete walk such
as is common in towns and cities in
wolves more or less experience and
requires time and money, though it
