ALLIES PLANNING BIG OFFENSIVE M MACEDONIA
STEEL WILL REACH
 CROSSING THIS FALL

and provided the labor supply holds out, MT. Browne thinks that the tracks will reach the Nenana Cross ing at 43-mile sometime in November and that the river will be crossed and the rails laid we'll towards Liz mite before very severe winter weather, which will make cessation of the work necessary, is encount- cred.
 MT. Browne intends that the work of tracklaying and surfacing shall continue at least until Station No. 17433 has been reached. This sta tion is approximately ten miles be- yond the Nenana Crossing and is in the neighborhood of the coal mine which R. E. Burns & Co. ex- pect to open up.
 After the rails have reached Sta tion No. 17433 the building of a spur approximately thousand feet in length, from this point to the tipple at the mouth of the mine, will be taken in hand and an ample sup ply of fuel for the use of the Com mission will be assured.
 
 The labor supply is the important factor in this scheme, and it is thought that many of the, grading contractors who will have completed their allotted work, will be available for the tracklaying and surfacing work.
 MT. Browne stated definitely that he expected to reach the Burns coal mine and have the spur in working shape to haul coal to Nenana some time in December, perhaps towards the latter part of the month, much depending on the labor available. HIS means that the trdcklaylnR ana surfacing gangs, at least will find employment for some time to come.
 A considerable force will also be used in constructing the bridge across the Nenana river at 43-mile. This structure suffered considerable damage at the last breakup, but several of the piers were undamaged and some of the damaged bents and piers will be strengthened and re- paired, and new piers necessary for the completion of the structure will be driven.
 A trip out the line as far as the Nenana Crossing and to within easy distance of the Lignite country is a winter possibility. as it is thought that train service admitting of such trip, will be established.

ing to some approved method OF ac-
counting, which clearly show the net
income, may prepare their returns
from such books, although the meth
of accounting may not be strictly IN
accordance with the provisions OF
this decision.
"A person cultivating or operating
a farm for recreation or pleasure, on
basis other than the recognized
principles of commercial farming, the
result of which is continual loss
from year to year, is not regarded as
a farmer. In such cases, if the eX-
penses incurred in connection with
the farm are in excess of the receipts
therefrom, the entire receipts from
sale of products may be ignored in
rendering a return of income, and the
expenses incurred being regarded as
personal expenses will not constitute
allowable deductions in the return OF
income derived from other sources.
In connection with the holding OF
crops, Collector Hayward stated that
farmers, provided they keep books in
the manner indicated in this decision
may inventory crops unsold at the
close of a calendar year at cost OF
production and may report for In
come tax purposes the difference be-
tween such inventory valuation and
the price received for the crops when
sold. 1t is hoped by the collectors
office that though the time for the
making of income taxes has been ex-
tended to April l, that the taxpayers
will not wait for the rush which IS
bound to come when the first OF
April approaches, but will proceed to
make their returns now while the
deputy collectors are in the field to
to assist them.

tions by the Treasury department
and the receipt of the checks by the

Another cause is that of the checks
sent out-10,000-could not be deliv-
cred because the dependents to whom
the checks were payable had moved,
leaving no forwarding addresses OF
the addresses originally given were
incomplete or erroneous or so illegi-
bly, written that they could not be
properly deciphered.

States government insurance and gov
eminent compensation. This has
been officially announced by Secreta-
ry McAdoo.
Those who had not applied for in
surance were covered by the automa-
tic insurance under the law which is
payable to the wife, child or widowed
mother. This automatic insurance
aggregates $4,000, netting S25 per
month for 240 months.
Of those who had applied for and
obtained insurance many had taken
out the maximum amount of $4,000,
netting $3.50 a month for 240 months

delay in forwarding checks to the de-

RAISES PRICE OF WHEAT
To as High as s2.28 per Bushel in Order
to Stimulate Production.

President Wilson has raised the
government guaranteed price for the
1918 wheat crop as high as $2.2S a
bushel in one primary market, and in
varying sums in all other primary
markets except four.
Acting under authority Of the food
law, the President thus met the agi-
tation in Congress for higher prices
and took steps to stimulate produc-
ton and prevent holding back of the
crop while the agitation was going
on.
The prices fixed, the president de-
clared, would assure the producers
of reasonable profit. On the basis
of number one Northern spring wheat
and its equivalents, the President fix
ed the prices as follows:
Chicago, s2.20; Kansas City, S2,15;
St. Louis, $2,18; Minneapolis, SIT;
New York, $2.2S; Charleston Is. c.
s2.27; Savannah, S2.27; Seattle, $2.O5;
San Francisco, $2.10 Los Angeles,
$2.1O; Galveston, $2.2O; New Orleans,
1920; Fort Worth (Texas) $2.O9;-Ok-
lahoma City, S2.05.
The equivalents of number one
Northern, to which the same price ap-
plies, are number one hard winter
number one red winter, number one
durum and number one hard white.
The wheat must be harvested in the
United States during 1918 and sold
in the market before June 1, 1919.
The Presidents proclamation states
that the action is to meet an emer-
gency requiring the stimulation of
wheat planting.

TILLMAN WILL
RUN AGAIN.
IS NOT ANXIOUS FOR REELECTION
BUT WILL ABIDE BY THE WILL
OF THE ELECTORATE.

Senator Tillman, says the Ander-
son Daily Mail, is going to offer for
reelection to the United States Sen
ate and he does not intend to make
the campaign throughout South Caro-
lima this summer, according to par
ty of Andersonians who were in
Washington a few days ago on busi-
ness and who dropped into the Sena-
tors office to speak to him before
they left the capital. .
The first matter mentioned by the
senator to his Anderson visitors was
the exchange of letters between for
mer Senator John L. McLaurin and
certain members of the Anderson
county legislative delegation. Sena-
tor McLaurin's last letter had just
appeared in the South Carolina news
papers.
Asked if he was going to make re-
ply to Senator McLaurin's reference
to him in his first letter, Senator Till
man leaned back in his desk chair and
said that he was not going to make
reply; that he was going to treat
Senator McLaurin with silent con-
tempt which he deserves.
Senator Tillman declared that he is
going to offer for reelection and add
ed that because of his long expert
ence and especially under conditions
existing at present, he believes he is
better fitted to serve the people OF
South Carolina in the Senate than
any other. He said that he intends
to address the voters of the State
through the newspapers, and that ne
intends to stay on the job in Wash
ington, where he is needed all the
time.
Senator Tillman is chairman Of the
naval committee of the Senate and
he is one of the busiest men in Wash
ngton today. When the Anderson
ians called on him he had a great
mass of correspondence before him
on his desk, and a number of clerks
and stenographers were hard at work
keeping up with him.
The Senator appeared to be in good
health, so the Andersonians say, al
though it could be seen that the
strenuous session of Congress. and
his heavy work in his office had IA
tigued him to some extent.
In addition to keeping up with his
work in Washington Senator Tillman
is keeping in close touch with politi-
cal conditions in South Carolina. He
is informed on all political moves
made recently, and seems to be en-
joying most of them.
Senator Tillnfan said, the people can
re-elect me or not, l am going to give
them an opportunity Of expressing
themselves at the polls, and if the
people of South Carolina don't want
me as their representative, then l will
be content to remain at home. My
, personal wish is to stay at home any
how, | don't want to offer for reelec-
tion."

Following the request of Secretary
of-war Baker that the American Red
Cross should extend its communica-
ton service, which is already operat-
ing in France, to the army camps OF
America, plans are being perfected for
the building of a Red Cross house in
each camp, which will be not only a
new headquarters for all the Red
Cross activities in the camp, and an
administration center for the field di-
rector, but also a place of rest for
convalescent soldiers and an emergen-
cy lodging for summoned relatives OF
those rockies who are dangerously i'll,
and for Red Cross nurses and staff.
The Red Cross communication SER
vice will be developed to its highest
efficiency through these houses IN the
camps, and families and friends OF
soldiers will be able to obtain prompt
accurate and detailed information as
to their welfare.
Don't waste time and energy saw
ing cancelled postage stamps for the
Red Cross. Somebody, somewhere,
has started one of those pleasant, but
likely -be-annoying fictions con-
cerning the value of postage stamps
which have served their original pur-
pose. This time the idea spread
abroad is that the American Red
Cross has devised method Of ex-
tracing the dyes from the cancelled
stamps. The post-office department
reports that several bags of old
stamps have accumulated through
the good will of persons who have
thought they were doing something
to help win the war. Stamps are OF
no use to the Red Cross.
