Farmers Must Keep Books.

Farmers Must Keep Books.
The United States Internal Revenue
Department, through the collector at
Baltimore, for the district of Della
Hart at the Milford post office for ten
days to look after those farmers in
this vicinity who either failed to make
income tax returns, or making a re-
turn, failed to satisfy the collector
that the report is correct. General
Hart is sending for many farmers to .
meet him at the Milford post office
and it is his duty to advise them as /
well as to instruct them for the year
1913 just closing the income tax state
ment must state accurately exactly /.
how many bushels of wheat, corn,
oats, buckwheat, or other grain has
been produced during the year. They
must state exactly the amount re-
ceived from the sale of tomatoes,
from fruit, from butter, milk, eggs,
poultry, calves, cattle, horses, hogs,
and all money receipts, either large or
small, that have been received by
them. The government will not take
statement made up from guessing"
as many did in 1917, and failing to do
this they will be taken to Baltimore
at their own expense to show cause to
the collector of income taxes, Joshua
Miles, why they should not be fined
so per cent of the amount of the
taxes. Better respond to General
Hart's notice promptly and save
trouble. All farmers must keep book
records of their business. General
Hart came from Dover to Milford and
will be at Georgetown next.

RECENT dispatch from Washington states

dangerous possibilities, into the world = finance.
Hitherto all international transactions have
been either between individuals, or between individ-

lenders have been citizens of q great power and the
borrowers governments of weak nations, serious
political complications have resulted. When both
parties to the transaction are governments and the

sources of supply are found, they have no chance
for getting it.
Whether the debtor nations could get gold or
not, it could only be in exchange for commodities,

The City will get its Heat, Electric Power, Gas, Transportation.
Water and the like from municipality owned works.
Every house, small or large, must DE beautiful, built under the

The City will own and operate its Schools, Theatres, Concert and
Amusement Halls, Parks, and Fairgrounds.
There will be enough Hospitals for the care Of the sick, all owned
by the City.
All Physicians and Nurses shall be employed by the City. Their

A NEW bulletin of the Smithsonian Institution
"A deals extensively with the petroleum situa-
4 = ton in the United States and brings to light
in startling fashion the shortage and rapid trend
toward exhaustion Of the unmincd supply, which

''The petroleum resource stands out because

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a real
nice dress that think would look
real pretty II it were trimmed in a
little fur. have sen dresses trimmed
In fur. Do you think it would be all
right and do you think they are sty-
lish? My dress is blue crepe de chine
and | think | would like It In black
fur OF some kind.
My husband is awfally mean about
buying me anything. l have worn my
Sunday shoes for more than six
months now and they are looking real
bad and asked my husband for a
new pair and he got mad at me and
said | was extravagant. | only asked
for cheap pair of white canvas shoes
TO finish out the summer. My husband
can afford to get them for me. save
and try to help in every way I can.
Before was married I always had
two or three pairs of good shoes. and
now 1t seems as IL there is always a
fuss to get one cheap pair
have a good husband. but he never
wants to buy me more than I need to
cover myself with. Do you think I
ought to have those shoes. or ought
] to wear my old ones longer? He
doesn't buy himself many clothes, but
he doesn't seem to care for them the
way ! do. I just can't make him un.
derstand that there are many things
woman needs that a man does not.
What shall do about it? Sometimes

tell him that shall go out and do
for myself and then l can have what
| really need. THANK YOU.
Dark fur on your blue dress ought
to be very attractive. Fur trimming Is
used in winter, and so 1t would be bet
ter to wear that dress as it Is this
summer and put on the fur this fall
or winter.
You should have the shoes since
your husband can afford them. One
Of the gravest problems women have
to face is to get money from husbands
who refuse to give it. The most sat
isfactory arrangement Is for the wife
to have a reasonable allowance for
her clothes and to live within it. Then
her husband has no right to dictate
what she shall and shall not have.
do not like to advise women to go
to work when their husbands do not
wish It, You must use your own juds-
ment about that matter. The result
Of such a move is so uncertain. Some
husbands are perfectly satisfied with
the arrangement and let their wives
carry both the burden of earning and
OF Homework. too. Other husbands
give their wives more money rather
than have their friends think they are
not able to support wife. A very
few husbands wake up to the situation
and see that their wives have the nee
essary money without going out to
work for it.
