in their wedding garments Of old,
Others in the styles Of Is years ago.
But of all in unique and antique APP

The tobacco sale reported in last

err, was negatived by omission of the
name of the writer who reported his
sale, Mr.. Thos. Ostren1. town of JEFF
ferson.
The last issue of the Ed yerton To-
bacco Reporter Celebrates on the late
sale of Eckhart-Dyson sale of tobac-
co as follows: "In our last issue was
mentioned the sale of the last large
lot of old leaf remaining in the state
the 1916 packing of l260cs of Fred
Eckhart at Viroqua to C. H. Spitzner
e. Son of New York--then followed
the statement that in money values
it was the largest transaction ever
made in Wisconsin tobacco. What
the writer intended to convey was
that the price per pound was the
largest ever paid packer of Wiscon-
sin leaf; for it is true there have been
larger packings solo in other years
where the aggregate amount paid was
larger. Just what that price was is
not disclosed, but it is quite generally
believed to be around IS cents
pound. 1t might also be truthfully
said that the transaction yielded the
handsomest profit ever realized by a
packer of Wisconsin tobacco-IHo-
badly about S75 for each case, and al
most a fortune on single years bus
mess. Such prices, of course, were
not anticipated two years ago when
the tobacco was purchased, and could
not have been obtained except by the
conditions brought about of extreme
shortage of binder stock and the
enormous increase of values due to
the world war. 1t was the only large
lot of fine binder remaining in the
state and the packer was able to get
his price for it. And yet there are
plenty of dealers who contend that
manufacturer could better afford to
pay even so cents a pound for this lot
than to take his chances on the new
crop at 20 cents that is now being
brought in from the Trans, for it
would be a cheaper binder to work
than the average run of the 1917 to-
bacco As a matter OF history it is
well enough to mention -hese record
breaking figures, for ss8sy are likely
never again to occur"

YOU HAD BETTER SEE
THE GOVERNMENT AGENT
One Win Be in the County Seat for
a Few Days

The Censor advises farmers and all
others who are subject to a federal
income tax, to see the government
representative who is in the city for
the purpose of giving information
and to assist people in formulating
their reports. 1t will be well for peo-
pie to bring close estimates on their
financial earnings and expenditures
for the year 1917.
Every unmarried person having. a
net income of 81 900 and over, and
married person with a net income of
s., 900 and over, must make a return
70 the government office or be liable
to fine or Imprisonment. 1t may be
said as information for the farmer or
business man, that net income is what
remains after subtracting the actual
business or farm expenses from the
entire receipts of the gross income.
Any money spent for personal, family
or living expenses cannot Ne counted
as expenses in deductions from 1917
receipts, or gross income.

as these are investments in farm bu-
siness and are not farm expenses.
Neither should money paid for auto
mobile for general family use or any
labor in house on household expense
be listed as these are personal ex-
penses.
Under the federal law a penalty of
otlessth $50 nor more than $1,000
is provided if one fails to have his
1917 return in the Office of the col
lector of internal revenue at Madison
before the close of business on March
/. 1918; and may be liable for 80 per
cent additional tax
If, on account of illness or absence
from home, one is unable to render
his statement within the above pre-
scribed time he may obtain an ex-
tension of 30 days if a request is
filed with the revenue collector before
the due date of the return.

regular infantry drill regulations

Our daily schedule is, reveille al

fast at seven, drill at eight, nine, ter

two to four, supper at five thirty
4 taps at nine thirty and rest OF thu
time we use in working on our guns
