POLITICIANS FIGURE
 ON HOUSE LEADERS

WASHINGTON. Nov 6.-The politi- cal overturning which takes from the democrats control of the house of rep resentatives, foreshadows an upheavat in national legislative affairs, changes in power of the committee chairman ships and a situation confronting Pres ident Wilson which in a measure, par alels that confronting President Taft in the midst of his administration. The situation also is analogous to that faced by President Cleveland at the begin ming of his first team.
 Since, by the system of committee control which prevails in the house. all legislation and the virtually unlimited powers for investigation of government tai affairs lies within the initiative and control of the majority. the possibilities are obvious. They will be increased if the final returns for the senate assure the republicans control there.
 LongWorth For Speaker CD
 First, comes the question of tho speakership "a place which many statesmen and politicians have de- clared is second only to the presidency. in importance. Representative Mann of Illinois, the republican leader, would. on the basis of his position, be the logical candidate of the majority, but that is complicated by several fac tors, one of which has been MT. Mann's continued ill health. There also are some factional differences to be con siGered. Representative Gillette of Massachusetts, actually MT. Manns senior in point of service, has been act ing republican leader and is to be reckoned with in the calculations for the speakership. There also has been a Of tot T of Ohio, Colonel Roosevelt's son-in- law, as a candidate upon whom the republicans could unite.
 Fordney, Floor Leader CD
 Next in importance is the leadership of the democrats, when they become the minority party, after Marche3 next.

At least two more great Liberty loans are to be provided for and no one can estimate the need for further war taxation, after the end of the fis- cal year, which the pending war reve- nue bill is framed to cover.
 Speaker Clark was minority leader before the democrats came into con- trol. A question to be decided is whether Air. Kitchin is to step down from that place in the new congress, to give way for MT. Clark, or whether the speaker will be obliged to take place in the usual run of committee as signments.

NINE REASONS
Why the New Government Thrift Stamps
and Baby Bonds Should be
Purchased.

1t encourages the habit of saving
among the children.
The bond natures in FIVE years while
other government bonds go many more.
You can purchase Government Bond
by paying twenty-five cents Install
ments, which will return you per cent
compounded quarterly.
1t demonstrates our interest and sup
port in the best and happiest govern
ment on earth.
1t will provide the "sinews of war"
and at the same time earn us interest
while it works.
If We fail to furnish money to the
government in this hour of need, we
weaken the cause of Democracy and
help the enemy.
Should we decide that the Govern.
ment can look elsewhere for the money
it will surely come to the time when
money will be conscripted as is being
done with men.
A liberal investment in Bonds now
will postpone the next issue of Liberty
Bonds. Aud this is better deal.
Finally it is about the best way for the
ninety-five millions of us who would not
be taken to the front, to show the other
five millions our patriotism and we are
with them till the finish.
Agencies have been established at the
following places of business and in a
short time you can purchase Thrift
Stamps and Baby Bonds in any quantity

INCOME TAX RETURN
What Deductions Are Allowed Farmer for
Business Expenses in Making Out
Income Tax Return?

This is one of the many questions
which revenue officers who will visit
every county in the United States dur
ing January and February will answer
in detail Briefly they include the
amount expended for labor in the pre-
paration of land for crops and in the
cultivation, harvesting and marketing of
the crop. Deduction may be made for
the cost of seed and fertilizer, the
amount expended for labor in caring for
livestock cost of feed, repairs to farm
and other farm buildings, but not the
cost of repairs to the dwelling. The cost
of repairs to the farm fences and ma.
chinery is deductble, as we'll as the cost
of small tools and material which is used
up in the course of a year or two, such
as binding twine, pitchforks, spades,
etc.
The Cost of machinery such as trac-
tors and threshing machines can not be
deducted, but the cost of operation is
deduCtible item.
The value of farm products is not con-
sidered taxable until reduced to cash or
its equivalent. If crops and stocks were
produced in 1916 and sold in 1917, the
amount received therefor is to be in
cluded in the farmers tax return for the
calender year 1917. Crops produced in
1917 and on hand December 81 need not
be considered. Persons in doubt as to
any of the provisions of the income tax
section of the war-revenue act are ad-
vised by the Bureau of Internal Reven-
ue to see the revenue officer who will visit
their county to assist taxpayers in max
ing out their returns, which must be
filed on or before March l, l9lS.-Bu-
reau of Publicity, U. S. Treasury.

THE GAMES AT pEApwoop AND LEAD.

THE GAMES AT DEADwooD AND LEAD.
The gang, that is the Basket Ball team,
started from their home range toward
Deadwood via Burlington Flyer about
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Well we
arrived in Deadwood about time for
chuck but the boys did not get to eat
anything until the game was over. The
time until the game was spent in view
ing the skysCrapers and fair damsels of
the city. About o'clock the coach call
ed his faithful biscuit shooters together
and they sailed forth to the enemy's
haunt loaded for bear.
After swift game between the Fresh
les and the Scouts the two fast teams
took their positions and zing bang boom
the old fight was on. Talk about pep
Those fellows playing had more pep
than you can find in salt factory
Neither team had the advantage any
time during the game. The first half
ended in a tie and both teams went into
the second half ready for victory. But
again the half ended in tie. The coach
gave five minutes to play off the tie
Luck and only luck gave the game to
Deadwood. Men who witnessed the
game said 81 have seen many games, but
this is the best" All the next day the
fellows spent floating around the city
viewing the shop windows, etc.
About one o'clock Friday, the team,
my self and few other minor characters
journeyed up to Lead. We spent very
enjoyable afternoon at the Hearst the
atre. That evening the boys played a
fast game with Lead but on account OF
playing so hard the night before, they
were defeated.
A dance was given in honor of the
Custer boys at the Smead hotel. We
were treated royalty by the Lead people
| and hope We may have more athletic
contests with them in the future.
We returned Saturday evening to our
homes and after everyone had supper,
attended the picture show, we put on a
fast game with Buffalo Gap.
Well we had great time all around
and hope to have several enjoyable trips
like this one in the future.
