HAVE THINGS HANDY

A place for everything and everything in it's place" is a maxim that is we'll worth every persons time to memorize and practice. In addition, however, there is a sequel that is of paralell value. It is this: Se- lect the place that will be the most convenient to reach, or will operate to save needless steps. Invariably there is a place seemingly just intended for every particular article or utensil. A little meditation may be required to locate the place but the time thus spent is alwyas time we'll spent. To be able to reach a desired ar ticle without going miles out of the way" ultimately becom- es a source of much satisfac- ton. At least this is the tes- timony of those who give care ful consideration to this matter of location.

INCOME TAX MAN IS
 COMING THIS MONTH
Will Be at Batesville Latter Part of Month to Make
 Collection of Taxes

The Journal is in receipt of a communication from Collec- tor of Internal Revenue, Jack Walker in which he announces that federal income tax of ficcr will be sent to this coun- ty on January Is, and will be here until Feb. 9. He will have his office at the postoffice building in Batesville, and will
 c thore every day ready and willing to help persons subject 10 Il income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services.
 How many income tax pay CTS will there be in Indepen- dence county? If you can guos; the number of married persons living with wife or hus- band who have net incomes of $2,000 or over and how many unmarried persons will have net incomes of $1,000 or over this year, then you know. The collector of Internal Revenue estimates that there will be 824 taxpayers in this county.
 Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided for the purpose before March l, 1918. Because a good many of the people don't understant the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the Government is sending in this expert to do 1t for them. But the duty is on the taxpayer to make him. self known to the Government. If he doesn't make return as required before March 1, he may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to $1,000, pay fine or go to jail. So if you don't want to take chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. If you are not sure about being sub- Ject to tax better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make your return if subject to tax.
 The Collector suggests that ev rybody start figuring up his income and expenses now so as to be ready with the fig ures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of debt, new machinery, buildings or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money-interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (exeept for your dwelling) etc. Income includes about every dollar you get.

U. s. EXPORTED LAST YEAR SIX
 MILLION PAIR OF FIBRE STOCKINGSI

Exportation from the United States of6, 100000 pairs of stockings made from artificial silk in the fiscal year, just ended illustrates the growth in this country of the comparatively new industry of production of artif
 cial silk from wool pulp. A com pilation by The National City Bank of New York shows that the United States has now become one of the leading world producers of artificial silk, and that from being a large im- porter of this produce we have be- come a very considerable exporter.
 Artificial silk. according to the banks statement, Is manufactured from cellulose produced from wood pulp through the action of certain chemicals by which the wood pulp is turned into 8 substitute almost ex- actly identical with that carried in the body of the silk worm from which he spins his cocoon which man trans forms into silk threads This artifi- cial cellulose, practically Identical with that of the silk worm, is turn- ed into silk threads by being pressed through minute openings in metal plates, falling into a liquid which solidifes the thread. While the textiles thus made from the artificial fiber are not yet fully equal to those produced from the natural silk, the growing use of the artificial silk is H. lustrated by the fact that our imports of artificial silk, chiefly in the form of varna or threads have aggregated about $3O,OOO,OoO in the last decade. These, prior to the war, were drawn chiefly from Great Britain, Germany,
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-09-27

Belgium and France, that from Great Britain alone being $1,817, ,0O0,. from Germany s1,O45,0OO, from Belgium, seS5,0OO and from France $S44,0oO. With the opening of the war the supply from Germany and Belgium was entirely suspended, and that from Great Britain and France materially reduced, so that the quantity of arti- f1cial silk yard imported fell from ,759,O lbs. in 1914 to 293,00O in 1918.
 This fall-off in the artificial silk available in other parts of the world has stimulated our own production of artificial silk, which advanced from 320,000 lbs. 1914; the year in which the industry was established in this country, to 6,500,000 lbs. in 1917; while our exportations of manufac- lures of artificial silk jumped from sS57,S1S in the fiscal year 1917 to s2,3S9,S12 in 1918, the bulk of this being 500,957 dozen pairs of hosiery valued at $1,9S2,034.
 The increasing. use of artificial silk in the manufactures of the United SlaleS IS llluSLraISu by NenSuS figures, which show that the quantity of arti- f1cial silk used in the silk manufac- turing industry of the United States in 1899 was 6,056 lbs, in 1904, 466,- 151, in 1909, 914;494, and in 1914, I, 9O2,974 lbs. There are no official statistics of the quantity used in man. ufacturing for any later year than 1914, but the fact that 6,500,000 ibs. of artificial silk were produced in the United States in 1917 and over 1,o0o,- 900 lbs. imported, suggests that the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-09-27

quantity used in our industries in 1917 must have been approximately four times as much as in 1914. The Cost of the artificial silk yarn used in the manufacturing industry of the United States in 1899 was s10,sSO, in 1904, s1,623,OOO, in 1909, $1,927, ,0O0, 1914, $3,440,000 and in 1917 pre- sumably more than $25000,000; while the importation of artificial silk yarns, threads and filament amounted in the fiscal year 1916 to $2,924,00O, in 1917, 3,000, and in 1918, s742,000. The import price of this artificial silk was in 1916, about $1.5o per h., in 1917 about s2.5O per lb., and in June 1918 $500 per h., while the value of the domestic product also advanced from about $2.O0 per lb. in 1914 to slightly more than $4.O0 per ID. in 1918.
 This process of turning trees into silk stockings through the transform aton of wood pulp nto cellulose, to produce the artificial silk threads, Is simple. The wood pulp is treated l with caustic soda to form a sodium cellulose and then dissolved in car
 
 Cellulose-xanthate is viscous solu- ton popularly called viscose and, af- ter being filtered and allowed to ripen by standing, Is forced through minute openings in a metal plate into a liquid which solidihes the threads, which are when completed similar in ap- pearance, dimensions and chemical qualities to the fiber produced by the silk worm.
 Silk goods made from this artif1- cial fiber are chiefly remarkable for their bri1liancy. being more lustrous than natural silk, but have a some what harsher feel. Some of the early shortcomings of the artificial product, lack of strength and elastic ity, have been considerably 1essened. and these silks are now used in fab rics for both warp and filling threads,

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem- cdy for the Disease Has Been Found

cdy for the Disease Has Been Found
 Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Hartigan's drug stores and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poison ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: q have made a most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma and can heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheu- matism. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tism. and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed. ."-Dr. M. c. Lyons.

Large SbipIOad of Iron Ore.

tons cf ore was looked upon as a
big load. Gradually the record
went up to 5000, 1000 and to
10, 900 and II 900 tons and then to

again and this time it is I3 200 tons.

of Ashland last week by the Steam

The shipment of iron ore is
moving steadily from Ashland and
it is predicted that it will move free

rumor was started that the season
would close early but there is nc
foundation to this story and the

KEEP THE BOYS WELL FED
Iron County Can Do Its Part Only by
Buying Its Share and More of
Liberty Bonds.

Is there man, woman or child
in Iron county who would not will
ingly go to bed hungry every night
if it should be necessary III order
that the boys who are fighting our
battles 5000 miles from home
might have plenty to eata
Fortunately il is not necessary for
any of us to go hungry ourselves,
but it is necessary for us to see
that the boys in khaki do not go
hungry. Uncle Sam must have mo-
ney to buy food for the soldiers and
that is why Iron county is asked
to buy at least $IIo, 900 worth of
bonds of the fourth Liberty loan.
There is a whole lot of satisfaction
in the thought that Iron county,
by subscribing only its minimum
quota of the loan, will provide food
for 22S,ooo soldiers for a whole
day. These figures are based upon
the government estimate of 43 cents
day as the cost of feeding
soldier in the American expedition
ary forces in France.
If Iron county should fail to sub
scribe its minimum quota of SIIo,
900 of this loan, some other COM
munity would have to do more
than its share or some of the boys
in France might go hungry. But
Iron county will do its share and
more. We cannot fail if we think
for a minute every time we sit
down at the dinner table in our
comfortable homes of the boys
our own boys-who are fighting
and dying for us and for the safety
of our homes.

Trouble in Store for These Fellows.

Either there are a lot of pro- Ger
mans at work in northern WisCon
sin, or there are some boys at large
who aregoing to have rude awake
ming one of these days. The popu-
lar pastime along the transmission
lines of the Ironwood Bessemer
Railway and Light Company carry
ing high power electric current for
Use at the mines and powder plants
seems to be to shoot off insulators.
These go at the rate of seventy five
to a hundred a week, and the loss
of one means a shutdown of the
mines until crews of men have found
the trouble and replaced the insulat-
ors. Sometimesa change can be made
quickly by changing the current
from one line to another, but it
might very easily happen that a
simple thing of this kind might
shut the mines down for several
hours. There is a state law against
this, and anyone interfering with
the power lines is subject to impri-
Sonment and fine; but the appeal
of every red -blooded American now
is to do all that is possible to make
the wining of the war early and
sure. Every industry must be help
ed, and none more than the mines
and the Barksdale Powder Plant
The fellows who are doing the
shooting evidently do not know
that they may get in trouble with
men having contracts with Uncle
Sam.
The company is offering a reward
of $4,000 elsewhere in this paper,
and it looks as if there was trouble
in store for anyone playing with
these power lines that are actually
engaged in war contracts. The off
icers of the company say they will
furnish targets to anyone in need
if the hunters will just leave these
insulators alone.

Maximum profits on butter will
vary in accordance with the amount
and character of the sale and will be
based upon cost price, not upon rep
lacement value, according to the reg
ulations of the Wisconsin Food Ad-
ministration. Any advance in excess
of to cents per pound over cost is
considered unreasonable. Five cts is
the maximum margin for stores con
ducting a cash and carry business
and cents for credit and delivery
stores.
All dealers and distributors of butter
must familiarize themselves with the
butter rules as infractions of them
will lead to discipline by the Enforce
ment Division Ignorance will not
hold as an adequate excuse.
For butter carried in cold storage
for months cent per pound may be
added and an additional 4 cent for
eaon month thereafter. But the total
must not exceed cents per pound.
No allowance in cost should be
made for shrinkage in weight, com
missions or other expenses.
When a dealer averages the cost of
any butter stored during the month,
he must average the cost of all butter
stored during that 70 Jnth.
