Instalment dealers in furniture, clo-
thing, jewelry and other personal eff
fects must report as taxable income
the percentage of profit represented in
each instalment payment and the en-
tire payments if the purchaser defaults
an dthe property is returned to the
dealer. This ruling by the internal
revenue bureau means heavier taxa
ton for instalment dealers.
Walter G. Mcclellan has just sold a
carload of hogs, SO in number, for
$4,000. Mr.. Mcclellan, who is an eX-
tensive wheat farmer northwest of
Sprague, Wash, reports that he will
soon have another carload to sell,
which will make three he will have
disposed of, and that they will bring
him more than his 1917 wheat crop.
He has his farm fenced with hog wire
and let's them run on the stubble after
the crop is harvested and also on the
summer fallow. He says that the pigs
will eat and thrive on young Russian
thistle, China lettuce and other weeds
that grow on summer fallow.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat. - The markets are dull;
stocks are rapidly going out of ware
houses and M. II. Houser, of the Unit
ed States food administration grain
corporation, is DESTROYS of moving
wheat and rye out of storage in vari-
Gus parts of the North Pacific in view
of the need for flour for the armies in
Europe. In view of this he issued the
following to licensees: THE privilege
ISSUED to licensees to retain wheat and
rye in interior elevators and ware
houses for seed distribution termi-
mates May Is. eW hope that every
bushel of wheat in farmers hands will
be delivered to their country stations
by that time. Every effort is being
made to expedite the movement Of
wheat to the mills so that it can be
ground into flour and shipped to our
soldiers and allies abroad to relieve
the acute shortage which now exists.
Notify all farmers tributary to your
station who may have small lots of
wheat on hand, urging them to bring
it in Immediately. Notify us of the
name and postoffice address of any
person holding wheat who is not in
clined to haul it in. There is a plen-
tiful supply of box cars at all interior
points. If you are not receiving as
many per day as you can load wire
us, so that we can see that your re
quirements are promptly taken care
Of"
Flour.-A decline of substitute -four
has taken place on the Coast. There
is a growing scarcity of hard and an
accumulation of soft wheat flour. Corn,
barley and other substitutes are lower.
The production of potato flour is in
creasing to point where the supply
is cutting into the other substitutes.
There is some talk amongst the mills
of urging the government to abolish
substitutes to a measure of economy
and permit the use of our soft wheat
flour in the local trade. The market
is steadily working against rigidity in
prices of all substitutes and there has
been much price cutting. Barley that
was quoted $3.50 a month ago is being
offered to millers at $1,000. There is
plenty of earn and corn meal.
Feed.-There is a good demand for
wheat feeds but practically none is
available. Millers are selling their out
put to their local trade or in mixed
cars with flour. The market rules
strong at unchanged prices owing to
the scarcity of offerings, and with lit
tie prospect of enlargement for some
time. There is a ready and keen de
mand for all wheat flour millfeed of
fered for sale. Pasturage in the North
Pacific is advancing rapidly and coun
try feed dealers are keeping close to
the shore in the matter of keeping III
stocks.

case with a snap. He said something
In brusque tone, and was answered
by what sounded like pleasant mega

turned and strobe hastily away, disap-

Alone, the woman watched him as
long as he was In sight, her head to
one side with an effect of critical
amusement. Then, with a low laugh,
she crossed the veranda and entered
the lighted room. AT the same time
Whitaker, lingering and watching
without in the least understanding or
even questioning why he was doing
this thing so contrary TO his instincts,
heard the heavy rumble of a motor car
on the far side of the house and saw
the machine swing Off across the clear
ing into the woods.
In the living room the woman was
saying. you may go now. Elise. I'll

"Yes, madam" The maid rose and
moved briskly out of sight
Her Mistress casting aside a scarf
of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood
for a moment in deep thought, her
head bowed, the knuckle of a slender
forefinger tapping her chin-charm-
, ingly posed. Whitaker abruptly I'M
derstood why 1t was he loitered, peep
ing-she was absolutely beautiful, a
creature both exquisite and superb, a
matchless portrait for the galleries of
his memory.
Something-a movement or perhaps
slight sound-had drawn his atten-
ton from the woman. He saw the
other man standing boldly In full
moonlight, all his attention concentrate

the window. He was unquestionably

moon and his face further Swallowed
by peaked cap, Whitaker was abso-
lutely sure of the mamie was GER
tainly Drummond.
Without pause for thought he sprang
toward him, in a guarded voice utter
ing his name-"Drummondw But the
fellow proved too alert and quick for
him. Whitaker's hands closed on moth
ing more substantial than thin air; at
the same time he received a blow upon
his bruised shoulder smart and forcible
enough to stagger him and evoke an in
voluntary grunt of pain. And before
he could regain his balance the fellow
was thrashing noisily away through
the woodland underbrush.
Forthwith he struck Off and blum
dered senselessly through the forest,
misled by its elusive phantasmagoria,
until, realizing at length he did but
duplicate an earlier folly, he gave up
the chase in disgust and slowly made
his way back to the bungalow.

Washington.-Fo the third time
within a year the American people
have heavily oversubscrbed a war
credit
AS to the third Liberty loan the
treasury announces the campaign had
been IAN overwhelming success" AL
though $4,000, 100000 was the formal
goal of the campaign, official reports
including only a small proportion of
Saturdays avalanche of pledges show
ed the total as $3,203, $50, 400, and there
were indications that the aggregate
would be increased to nearly $4,000
100000 when banks have time to tab
ulate the multitude of last-minute APP
plications.
The exact result of the campaign
probably will not be known until-late
in the week.
Official estimates placed the mum

600 and $4,000, 000-far above the 49,
100000 of the second loan or 100000
OF the first-and some officials ex-
pressed the belief that the roll of bond
buyers would be even greater. To
them this was one of the most encour-
aging features of the loan.
All twelve federal reserve districts,
which were the largest campaign units
oversubscribed, and a majority of the
states made the same record. Della

Total May Be $4,000, 100000.
