Fuel Administrator Garfield:
"The Fuel Administration must de-
pend on ships to supply coal to New
England and the great section of our
country at the end of the Great
Lakes. With every additional ship
that puts to sea, the fuel require
ments of the government are en-
larged. The total coal requirements
for ocean going ships including the
Navy have grown to sixteen million
tens by July, 1918. The increased
requirement is already one hundred
per cent, beyond that of last year.
AS the program of the Shipping
Board gains impetus, the RESPONSE
bilities of the Fuel Administration
are correspondinglyenlarged."
Chairman Mccormick of the War
Trade Board: Regulation of our
foreign trade, and no restriction is
the essential mission of the Board.
Construction of American ships in
large quantities means to US the
opportunity to license freely the i'm
portation of all required material of
foreign origin. 1t means the possibility
of free export of American commodi-
ties to help pay for imports and red
ress the adverse balance of trade in
many foreign countries. Adequate
American tonnage means an oppor-
tunity for full development of the
trade possibilities between the people
of this hemisphere opened up in con-
sequence of the war that friendship

intercourse does so much to promote.

tleGront slip, play an even greater
part in winning the war than most
people realize, in spite of all that has
been said on the subject
Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Beard, directin~ Americas gigantic
building program, recently asked
cabinet officers and heads of the
special war branches of the govern
ment, what do ships mean to you?"
Here are some of the replies here
ceived.
Secretary of the War Baker Each
new ship added to our transport
service means more American sol
diers on the fighting front, more
American soldiers In training behind
the firing line, more supply workers
to make secure the men in men in
camp and trench, more doctors and
nurses to care for the wounded
more food and clothing and comforts
for our frees aboard, and more vital
assistance to our associates in the
war.
ships then are indispensable.
The shipbuilders have indeed done
we'll But they will do better. The
Army will be ready when the ships
are ready"
Secretary Daniels: THE chief
business of the Navy during this wal
has been to keep safe the road to
France We need more ships and
every man who drives two more riv'
cts where one has been driven be-
fore is a public benefactor."
Food Administrator Hoover: The
shortage of ships has placed upon us
the responsibility of supplying the
major share of foodstuffs needed to
maintain the millions of soldiers and
civilians who are bearing the brunt
of Germany's assaults.

but If that comes, are you not already
willing to step into the ranks and
fight to the bitter end? If you are
not, you are not worthy to live under
your flag and enjoy your freedom.
This war must be won. American
arms are as sure to prevail as the
sun shines and American sellers are
to show themselves superior to all
the fighting forces of the world.
Northern France is the greatest
battle field of the ages. Mankind has
never clashed arms in such strug-
gle,--and when they come back from
that conflict they always tell us with
the greatest assurance and confiden-
ce that soldier that face the fire
of this inferno is the equal of the
American in action. This is the gen
eral opinion. This is the English and
the French view of it. This is the
view of the Canadian brother to the
north of us.
And now will you stop and think
again. This American in action is
our own,--the young man who went
from among us but a few months
ago raw recruit He is invincible,
unconquerable. 1t came with him
from the Saxon of old. The German
war lords know it. They have struck
sword with men of this blood in other
years and on many fields. They trem-
BILE for they know the Divine Creator
stamped within us racial supre-
macy. They know they cannot win
against it.
Thirteen million more men are
newly pledged to back up the four
millions already under arms and
they will fight to the death, the last
man of them! Why let alarm and
uncertainty mar business or the
steady prosecution of the war? You
know your full duty back at home. AS
long as you are there make your en-
ployment count. When you are called
then make the soldier that your for
bears put it within your range to
make.
Germany must be destroyed and
that task is not an easy one, but
Germany will be destroyed insofar
as her world dominating military
power is concerned. American arms
will have much to DO with it and our
own young men are going to hear
their part of it fearlessly and unflin-
chingly.
Be of good cheer Stay at your post
an work till your time comes. Moth
ing will be lost by it. You have all
to gain, and your country will win
by it in the final count.

INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS ALLOWED FARM
Frs

What deductions are allowed
a farmer for business expenses
in making out his income.taX re-
turns"
This is one of the many ques-
tons which was asked the reven.
lie officer that visited Cainesboro
last week. Briefly, they include
the amount expended for labor
in the preparation of land for
crops and in the cultivation. har-
vesting, and marketing of the
crop,
Deductions may. be made Tor
the cost Of seed snd fertilizer,
the amount expended for labor
in caring for live stock. cost of
feed, repairs to farm and other
farm buildings, but not the cost
of repairs on dwelling. The cost
of repairs to farm fences and
machinery is deductible, as well
as the cost of small tools and
material which is used up in the
course of a year or two, such as
binding Irvine, pitchforks, spades
etc.
The cost al machinery, such as
tractors and thrashin9 machines,
can not be deducted, but the cost
of their operation is a deductible
item.
The value of farm products is
not considered taxable until re-
duced to cash or its equivalent.
If crops and stocks were produc-
ed in 1916 and sold in 1917, the
amount received therefor is to
be included in the farmers tax
return for the calander year 1917,
Crops produced in 1917 and on
hand December 81 need not be
considered.
