The public schools onened Monday

The public schools opened Monday
after weeks vacation on account of
the shortage of fuel. Considerable
damage has been fonnd to the plumb
ing both in the high school and grade
building by freezing while the fires
were allowed to go out. Whether suf-
ficient coal can be secured to keep the
schools going now will depend upon the
weather and rail facilities for moving
freight.
The services at the Norwegian
Lutheran church next Sunday morning
will be of patriotic nature. The con-
gregation has decided that on that day
free will offering is to be taken for
the benefit of the commission that en-
ploys and equips Lutheran army pas
tors for work among our soldiers and
sailors here and overseas. Members
that cannot be present. kindly send
their contributions by mail to the treas
urer, Mr.. Clarence E. Swenson Ev-
erybody welcome.
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Geo.
Mccoy of Vancouver, WASH, this of
flee has received a copy of the Portland
Telegram which speaks of the wonder
full industrial development of Vancou-
yer, on the Washington side of the Col
umbia river at Portland. The war has
brought prosperity there by the build
ing of the Vancouver barracks where
5000 soldiers are quartered. Early in
the year the. largest fruit and vege-
table -cannery in the west was opened,
and later wooden shipbuilding plant
was erected. Another industry is the
motorship construction company max
ing life boats and small craft, while
the shops of the Seattle-Portland Ry.
located there employ large number
of hands. We note that the article re-
viewing these new industries was writ
ten by Austin 3. Mccoy, son of Mrs.
Mccoy, former resident of Edgerton.

FIFTH LOAN PLANS
ALREADY UNDER WAY
Believed Next Campaign VIII Be Held
In January or February of
Next Year

Even before the work of finishing
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign is
ended preparations are already under
way for the fifth one. Chairman p
l.. Golsborough stated that the execu-
tive committee would consider meth
DDS and arrangements for the next
campaign. which, according TO belief,
based upon statements from Washing
ton, will be in January or February
next.
The executive committee held a ses-
sion Tuesday afternoon largely for
the purpose of going over some rou-
tine matters and arranging to wind up
the many lines of activities pursued
since even before the campaign began
September rs. The position of execu-
tive manager, left vacant by the resig-
nation of Charming Rudd, will not be
filled for the present.
AS to Maryland's total subscriptions
there will probably be nothing further
until the Richmond Reserve bank
gives out the final and official figures
This will not be until some time next
week, perhaps even later. To date
Maryland's total subscriptions were
approximately sS9.013, 200, nearly
100000 above the quota. Baltimore
city turned in pledges of s64 $50,
or about 100000 in excess of its al
| lotment
The tremendous success of their
drive for the Fourth Liberty Loan has
been source of qualification to the
Masons of Baltimore. Grand Master
Charles C. Homer, Jr., announced that
the total sale of bonds during the
campaign aggregated $5,252,S50. The
Masons of Maryland had set the goal
at 100000 and had more than dou-
bled the amount when the drive came
to close.

u. S. TREASURY
GIVEN WIDE POWERS

Yesterday the Senate Finance Com
mittee, in further revision of the war
excess profits features of the House
War Revenue bill made provision for
tax allowance in the case of corpora
ton property whose actual value is
more than par value of stock shares.
In computing the basis for war ex-
cess profits, the committee adopted an
amendment providing that. in estab-
fishing invested capital. actual cash
value of property shall be treated as
paid-in surplus if the value above the
face of stock shares is clearly DEM
onstrated to the Treasury Department
Besides inserting the provision for
consideration of actual value of cor
poration property. the committee
struck out a House clause excluding
from classification as invested capt.
tai the increase in value of assets
above their original cost which are
not actually realized by their sale.
This leaves the present law for in
clusion of surplus and undivided
profits as a part of invested capital
unchanged, and is a modification of
the House bill which many interests
have urgently recommended.

load of your best whisky" calmly an
nounced Sheriff Williams.
What, Why your State is dry; you
can't do that. Sheriff." said the police
officials, land we are not going TO let
you get into trouble that way
Then Sheriff Williams became seri-

said, 1--WE been sent here on an ur-
gent mission. You know the FLU" has
got us bad down there and there is a
general demand for whisky in treating
the disease Some folks have great
belief in the medicinal values of good
liquor. so strongly so that the au-
thorities decided to send me here to
bring back a truck load of first-class
liquor. I've got to get the liquor TO
Henderson as soon as possible and
am going to take ii back as fast as
possible
Sheriff Williams said that the Off
Gals Of Henderson held consultation
and decided that whisky was badly
needed for the sick and that it was
needed quickly. The Sheriff was COM
missioned to come here, buy the
amount needed and get it to Hender
son by automobile After arriving
here Sheriff Williams went to Mr. Den
MIS- office and informed him of the
purpose of his visit. The United States
District Attorney told the sheriff from
North Carolina that it was no viola
ton of the law to carry whisky into
North Carolina if the liquor was to
be used for medicinal purposes.
Sheriff Williams was well protected
with legal papers from the officials of
his State, and Mr.. Dennis expressed
the opinion that he would experience
no difficulty in getting the liquor to
it's destination The Sheriff left Mr..
Dennis Office and went to the ware
house of a wholesale liquor dealer on
Light street, near Pratt street, where
he soon closed the deal Sheriff Will
liams said that his mission to this city
was not generally known to the peo-
pie of Henderson, but that he antici-
pated hearty welcome on his return.
On its trip to Henderson the truck
will cover close to 800 miles and Sher-
if Williams said that he was going to
spend most of the time on the seat

NEW METHOD OF
SUGAR DISTRIBUTION

Mr.. Ridgely p. Melvin. Food Admin
istrator for Anne Arundel county
gives publicity to the following new
regulation governing the sale of sugar
locally:
The Food Administration desires
that particular attention be given to
the new sugar regulation under which
the two pound rule is modified so that
dealers may deliver to each customer
a one-half months supply of sugar.
Formerly, sugar could not be sold
in excess of two pounds at one time,
no matter how large the family.
The new method of distribution is
as follows:
AT any time between the LIST and
18th day of the month the dealer may
deliver to any individual consumer
not more than one pound for each
person in his household or establish
ment and he may also make a second
delivery of not more than one pound
for each person in the household or
establishment between the 10Th and
the 31st of any month
The delivery of sugar in this way, in
excess of two pounds at one time, is
conditioned upon the customers sign
ing the pledge card.
This does not supersede the present
limit of two pounds on each sale for
persons who are unwilling to sign this
pledge or who may be unable to pur-
chase at one time a sufficient amount
of sugar to carry them through the
semi-monthly period
The practical working of this new
rule means that if, for instance, there
are ten persons in the family, the
monthly supply should be 20 pounds
of sugar for that family and that ten
pounds could be purchased in a lump
between the LIST and 18th of each
month and the remaining ten pounds
between the 10th and 31st of the
month.

the Treasury Department wide pow
ers to prevent hardships and Unequal
tiles which result from the rigid def
nitions of invested capital also was
adopted by the committee.
The committee also struck out the
House provision prohibiting filing by
affiliated corporations of consolidated
tax returns and inserted substitute
allowing consolidation of returns in
the case of organizations virtually
under the same ownership. This con-
cession has been asked by many cor
porate interests.
With these and other administra-
tive changes, the committee virtually
concluded work on the war excess
profits section except a decision as to
whether these taxes shall be extended
to individuals and partnerships.
The inheritance, or estate taxes,
which the committee proposes to mod
ify. probably will be taken up tomor-
row.

The closing of stores at 5 o'clock
may go into effect in East Moline
