STOLEN MACHINE rs
FOUND IN DAVENPORT

Certain mischief makers in Rock Is
land are giving the police and auto
owners d deal OF trouble. They are
getting more and more veuturesome,
but their increasing boIdness may lead
them to trouble.
For the second time this week, and
for the "steenth' time this year, an
automobile in this city was found
abandoned in a street in Davenport by
police Of that city. Il was the car
owned by Archie McInnes, which was
taken from IN front Of the Eagles
home, Twenty-frst and Fourth ave-
nue..
Police records show that numerous
cases have been reported Of similar
thefts, and from the manner in which
they are perpetrated officials are of the
opinion that the same gang is respon-
sibIe for the most of them.

some contained groceries and other

that many contributions have been

out the year and the society will
gladly accept any assistance that

COL. SUGCS'
IDEAS BEING
CONSIDERED
COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE GOING
TO GET THEIR MONEYS WORTH
WHEN THEY BUILD ROADS
AND BRIDGES.

The township officers of Nowata
county will hold their fourth annual
convention Saturday, February 20,
and have invited Col. Sidney Suggs,
state highway commissioner, to at
tend the meeting and address them
upon the subject of roads and bridges.
Road officials over the state are
becoming more interested every day
in the road movement, especially
where bonds have been voted for
building or improving roads and
bridges, and state and county Of
fcials in the future are determined
to see that their money is judicously
expended. This doctrine has been
the subject of the state highway
commissioners text for years, and
it is gratifying to him to see that
at last it is beginning to have its
effect
Following is the letter from the
county clerk of Nowata county:

INCOME FROM
FARM PRODUCTS
IN TAX RETURNS
CROP SHARE RENTALS ALSO IN
cLUDED, ACCORDING TO DE-
cISIoN OF Commissioners OF
INTERNAL REVENUE.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Income from
farm products and crop share rentals
must be included in tax returns OF
income for the year in which they
are sold for money or a money equiv
alent, according to decision made
public Tuesday by Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue Osborn.
When farm products are held for
favorable markets, the decision says
no deduction on account of shrink
age in weight or physical value or
losses by deterioration will be al
lowed. Cost of stock purchased for
resale is an allowable deduction, but
that of stock for breeding purposes
is regarded as capital invested and
not as an allowable deduction, ex-
cept when such stock dies of disease
or is destroyed without reparation
by order of state or federal authori-
ties. Cost of tools may be deducted,
but not that of farm machinery.
"A reasonable allowance for de-
preciation," will be allowed on farm
buildings other than the owners
dwelling, on farm machinery and
other physical property.
"A person cultivating or operating
a farm for recreation or pleasure on
a basis other than the recognized
principles of commercial farming, the
result of which IS a continual loss
from year to year. the decision adds
"is not regarded as farmer. In such
cases if the expense incurred in con-
nection with the farm are in excess
of the receipts therefrom the entire
receipts from sale or products may
be ignored in rendering a return Of
income; anu the expenses incurred
being regarded as personal expenses
will not constitute allowable deduc
tions in the return of income derived
from other sources
