WEALTHY CITIZEN
Of Stanford Fined For BootIegging.

MIR. George W. Carter, a wealthy
citizen of Stanford and director in
enc of the banks of that city was con-
victed and fined $500 and given 20 days
in Jail in the Police Court of that city
last week. on the charge of selling
whiskey. There were four cases against
the defendent, and the evidence must
have been very conclusive. for he threw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
There is said to be other charges of
a similar nsture against Carter. the
grand-jury which adjourned there last
Thursday, having returned seven in
dictments against him.
1t is said that these serious charges
may yet be brought to the attention of
the federal grand jury. IN which case,
1t is said proof against him will show
that he has been engaged in this illicit
business for some time.

ELEVEN DOLLARS
For Hemp Is Disappointing To Farmers.

Farmers of this county are express
ing in no uncertain terms their disap-
pointment at the price of hemp being
fixed at eleven dollars per hundred.
They were at least expecting as much
as the fibre brought last year, espec-
tally since Mr.. McAdoo had given as
surances that cars would be furnished
TO handle the crop, and before this ar
nouLeement from the Director Of rail-
roads. the buyers were using it as an
excuse for low prices.
1t is being predicted by many that
not two.thirds of the crop in this coun-
ty will be broken out. the scarcity of
help being one reason and the low price
being another, for in some instances in
this county some are paying as high as
$3.50 hundred for breaking. This is
practically loss to the tenant who
rents on the halves and some tenants
are throwing up their crops rather than
lose any more money.

PAINT LICK Case AFFIRMED.
L. 4 N. bridge Caused High Water
Damage Says Court or Appeals.

The Court of Appeals last week af-
hrmed the Paint Lick damage cases
against the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. The suits are the result of
an overflow of Paint Lick creek about
five years ago and it was charged that
the L. and N. bridge caused the trouble.
on account of the abutments turning
the channel Of the creek. Overlooking
the town and doing considerable dam
age.
The plaintiff in the above case was
G. W. Conn and in the circuit court
here about one year ago, jury gave
Conn damages to the extent Of $1,000.
The Court OF Appeals has now affirmed
this decision. and it is probable that
several more similar cases vii be filed
against the defendant during the next
term of court.

HEMP NEEDED TO
WIN THE WAR

Lyster II. Dewey. Botanist in charge

lowing statement: Gas a matter Of pa
triotism. in winning the war, a suffici-
ent crop Of hemp seems to be quite as
necessary as the production Of corn or
other food products. American hemp
is now used for thread for shoes, har-
ness and other equipments used in the
army as well as for cordage for the
ships and tie tow is used for eaulking
vessels and its use is almost certain to
Increase instead of flax, jute and other
imported fibres."

SALE Of THRIFT
STAMPS IN co.
RuraIs Driver Sowing the Seeds Of
Thrift as They WaIlOw Through
Huge Ss,ow Drifts

Beginning about Christmas time,
thrift stamps were placed on sale in
all pest offices in Sauk county above
the loves classificati0ns. Up to
Wednesday night Postmaster Alger
Pearson reported that sales amounted
to $6,4O0, leaving out Reedsburg, which
being a free-delivery post office, re-
ports direct to Washington.
Of this sum, Baraboo has sold $4,-
400, leaving to the other offices, ex-
cept Reedsburg, $4,000. And the sales
have not been pushed, outside the
valiant work done by carriers here in
Baraboo. City carriers have made a
house-tO-house canvass, but their time
is limited for explaining the details
of the simple scheme Of the govern
ment Rural carriers have had all they
could do for two weeks to wallow
through the snow drifts, but they are
sowing the seeds of thrift.
La Vale has sold $500, which is
good for a small town. Several rather
large investors are in that village,
men and boys who bought $50 or $100
each. A week from next Sunday a
drive will be instituted, which will
run for two weeks, and it is hoped that
every citizen Of Sauk county will be
an investor in thrift stamps.

FARMING AND
INCOME TAX
Blanks Are Full Of Questions, All
cf Which Must Be Answered---
New innovation

The new federal income tax is far
reaching, and thousands who nave
never made returns will be asked to
do so or dig up a fine. To man on
a salary the job is easy, but to a man
on a farm, where property is bought
and sold, the thing is different. The
following may throw some light on the
subject:
What deductions are allowed farm
er for "business expenses IN making
out his income-taX return?
Briefly. they include the amount eX-
pended for labor in the preparation
Of land for crops and in the cultivation,
harvesting and marketing Of the crop.
Deductions may be made for the cost
of seed and fertilizer, the amount eX-
pended for labor in caring for live
stock cost Of feed, repairs to farm
and other farm buildings, but not the
cost of repairs to the dwelling. The
cost Of repairs to farm fences and ma
chinery is deductible, as well as the
cost Of small tools and material which
is used up in the course OF year or
two. such as binding tWine, pitchforks,
spades, etc.
The cost of machinery, such as trac-
tors and threshing machines, cannot be
deducted, but the cost of their opera
ton is a deductible item.
The value of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced in 1916 and sold
in 1917, the amount received therefor
is to be included in the farmers tax
return for the calendar year 1917.
Crops produced in 1917 and on hand
December 81 need not be considered.
