MANY CARS SOLD
THIS SPRING
With Restricted Output, The
Demand is Greater Than
The Supply

Sales of automobiles are brisk this
year.
Some people may be surprised to
know that the war has accelerated
rather than retarded the demand for
automobiles.
In Canada, already four years in
the war, and in spite of very much
higher prices than here, the sales of
cars for 1917 exceeded any previous
year.
This year the output of cars, partic-
ularly of the large manufacturers, has
operating to create shortage of cars.
This works out to the advantage Of the
smaller and less popular cars that
heretofore have found it extremely
hard to compete with their powerful
neighbOrs in the business and who
found trouble in disposing of their
output. This year any kind of car
will sell, because of the shortage, and
the demand is also much stronger for
second hand cars.
In Rusk county ears seem to sell
easier this spring than ever before.
The popular Ford has been in strong
demand, forty-fOur having been sold
by j. L. Ryall so far this year. Among
the recent purchasers are: r. L..
Stumpner, Conrath; Amos Richard
son, Frank Haynes, III. w. Campbell,
Clarence Thistle, Lyman Mccarthy,
Bruce; Jacob Hoff, Flambeau River
Lumber Co., George Moore, George
Beuchle, HI. w. True, Fred Crandell,

Eleven new Overland cars have al
ready been sold in Rusk county this
year, a greater number than at the
same date in any previous year. Pur-
chasers Of most of these cars, and of
other cars bought in Rusk county this
spring, have already been mentioned
in this paper.
J. Kaufman has just purchased a
new Willys-Knight. This is seven

Knight" sleeve-valve motor.
Mrs Thos. Baker is driving a new
Dodge touring car.
Ed Pagel is now enjoying the use of
a new Briscoe touring car.
Father Hosinski, of COnrath, has

American and English Income
Taxes.

In comparison with the tax levied
in England on incomes, our own in
come taxes are moderate. indeed.
In England the tax on incomes of
ST. 900 is 4 1-2 per cent; in America,
nothing.
In England the tax on incomes of
81, 800 is 6 8 a per cent; in America
nothing for married men or heads
of families, and 2 per cent on $500
for an unmarried man.
In England the tax on an income
of $1,000 is 7 rs per cent; in
America nothing for a married man
or head of family. and 2 per cent
on ST 900 for unm8rried men.
The English income tax rate also
increases more rapidly with the
growth of the income than ours, a
$1,000 income being taxed ID per
cent. $1,000 l6 per cent, $4,000 20
per cent, and $4,000 Is per cent.
while our corresponding taxes for
married men are, respectively. two
thirds of 1 per cent. IL per cent,
3 l 2 per cent, and S per cent, and
only slightly more for the unmarried
due to the smaller amount ex
empted, the rate being the same.
