income TAX MAN
IL HERE FROM ABERDEEN TO
GIVE ADVICE-PAPERS
IN FEW DAYS.

X. j. Norman, of Aberdeen, dep
from the office of Revenue Collector
James Coffey, came today to Madi-
son, and will remain until the even
ing of January IL. His mission is
to advise and assist in estimating in
come taxes, and to help in filling out
the blanks. He was assigned the
northwest room on the second floor
of the courthouse, and this afternoon
vas a very busy and much badgered
man, many already applying for in
formation toward a better under
standing of the mysterious laws gov
erning the income tax.
Mr.. Norman said this afternoon
that he had not yet received neces-
sary blanks from the department at
Washington, and it would be impos-
sible to render the best and fullest
assistance until these papers came.
The office at Aberdeen had not re-
ceived any yet. He said that he
thought that it would not be more
than a day or two at the farthest
when we would have the blanks and
could i~ntelligently assist in making
out the actual statements for appli.
cants. His mission here is one of 9
purely advisory and assisting nature
and not for the actual collection OF
any taxes.

them have removed to new places,
and have created difficult housing
problems. The second draft will
leave more mems positions open.
The third draft will be telling; then
girls and women will be forced to do
the work the men have laid down.
Some places have felt the effect
more than others and already the
need for adjustment to new condi-
tions is very critical. The Y. w. c..
A. is preparing to meet these future
difficulties as well as the present
emergency.
The city schools opened again this
morning, and footsteps creeping
slow to school" only to go "storming
out at playing" were in evidence ev-
erywhere. The attendance was
complete in the high and city schools,
school principals tell us, though sick
ness had made the percentage lower
just preceding the holidays. Wagon

Normal yesterday from each train at
tested the return of students to that
institution, and this morning the
trains brought large numbers. BY
the time the afternoon trains have
arrived, the student body of that
school will have reached its full
number, and it is expected by the
faculty that there will be even a
larger attendance during the latter
half of the year than during the first
portion.

SLIDING over
CHURCH BELLS RING OUT THE
OLD YEAR.

When Father Time Topped another
year from eternity and relegated IL
to the frog pond of the fog e%nshroud-
ed past at midnight Monday night,
the hiatus in passing from 1917 TO
1918 was of so brief an interval as
to escape notice. There was not the
least jar in the transition, and moth
ing whatever to elicit creams of ap-
prehension from the most neurotic.
There was nothing to indicate the
passing OF another year except the
clock, and clocks have their peculiar
tiles in indicating the precise instant.
At about the time of passing, how.
ever, there were noises, emanating
from jewellers suffering from a self
induced current Of JOY or sorrow al
the bereavement. A few church
bells tolled the knell of the dear de-
parted, and rung mad welcome to the
new stranger. Most people, how
ever. passed frcm the old to the new
in a comatose condition, nor marked
the difference except to mentally
note hat another day was gone
and that they had dated a check
wrongly. We hope that future
history will use the figures and COM
bination of 1913" as often in noting
the end of a world horror as ii will
the year 1917 as indicating the year
during which the United States be-
came involved in the mad orgy.

that War FLOUR
NO FEAR NEED BE FELT FOR ITS
BAKING OR NOURISHING
QUALITIES.

Upon the announcement that the
food administration has dictated the
quality of flour that the millers shall
make, housewives are under the mis-
apprehension that it will be of a poor
quality, and that il will not yield
slightly or palatable breads or pas
tries, Marcus Aus. of the Madison
mills, told a reporter of The Daily
Leader this morning. They approach
the work of baking with great trep-
idation, contemplate the probable re-
suit with fear and trembling, and
wonder what John would say of the
result of the effort. In a word, the
term war flour" brings to them
visions of the stuff which women of
England and France are expected to
make into edible product. And they
fear Johns sarcasms and have a
vague fear that it will require good
teeth and a fierce patriotism to make
it a gastronomic possibility.
Mr.. Aus assures us that there is
no cause to fear the product as or
1 dtiVu ps II ouhhAhiobia NiohE
quality of the flour will be just as
good. There may be some difficulty
at first, mostly imaginary, because
the bread will not be of as good ap-
%pearance as that made from pure
high grade flour. But unless the ad-
ministrator orders still further per-
centages from the wheat, the flour
as now ordered will make good food,
and not differ much from that in
common use before.
According to milling standards, IA
per cent of the wheat is made into
flour. Ordinarily from 81 to so per
cent of this is made into patent
flour. by their processes of separa-
tion. The total quantity of flour
from the kernel of wheat will remain
the same, but 81 per cen of the
flour will be separated from low
grade, or clear flour, and all the rest,
or 70.3 of the total kernel yield, will
be the so called war flour" This
makes about 95 per cent of the total
flour yield.
England is taking S3 per cent, and
Italy IS per cent of the kernel for
flour, and allowing but a small per-
centage for low grade. This is not
the condition in the United States.
In this country there is no so called
feed, or coarse ~by-product, in the
flour, the total flour yield remaining
lfha ONO Tn fhnGn countries fhny
are including some of the coarse
product in the flour. Mr.. Aus says
that while the quality of the flour
has not suffered materially yet, he
apprehends that the food commission
will later order a still greater
flour product from the wheat, and
then we may expect a material de-
probation in the quality. While
now they produce 1876 pounds OF
flour from 264 pounds of wheat
they may later be required to get the
same amount from 240 pounds.
The millers of the northwest have
a convention tomorrow at Minneap'
oils, and Mr.. Aus will attend. With
him goes j. III. Wines, miller of the
local concern. There is a develop
ment of manufacture of barley flour
and together they will investigate it
possibilities and cost of necessary
machinery with a view to installing
such a milling business in Madison
This, however, is wholly dependen
upon the result of their investiga
ton, with it's desirability and utility

Faith Must Show Itself.

If the church is salt, then the church
must be different from the world
around it. If the church is light, then
the church must be unlike those who
have not committed themselves to the
leadership of Christ. When Chris
tians say the same things which un-
believers say, and do the same things
which scoffers do, they cease to be u
leavening force in society. If faith

While cooperative stores in the
United States are relatively unsuc.
cessful as compared with typical CO.
operative stores in European coun.
tries, the lack of success is not due
ciples of such enterprises to hold good
in America, but to the business meth.
DDS generally followed in such under.
takings in this country. This conclu-
sion has been reached as a result OF
survey Of GO cooperative stores made
by the Office Of markets and rural or.
ganiZation Of the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture. In many Ameri.
can cooperative stores which have
failed, mismanagement, inadequate ac-
counting and auditing. lack of cooper
alton, poor business methods, and lack
of judgment are responsible.
The results of the survey Indicate
that the cooperative store has tended
to bring about lower prices, smaller
margins of profit. more efficient bust
ness methods, and other practices ben
eficial to the farmer.
With the application of efficient BUSH
ness methods and the education of
the farmer to clear understanding
of the functions of cooperative stores,
they may be made successful. In
stances are cited of unusual savings
and large dividends to members of va
rious associations. Such associations
procure capable managers by paying
adequate salaries: take advantage Of
large-scale purchasing and cash dis
counts; maintain proper accounts and
cost records; and watch stock turn
overs.
The more general, underlying con-
ditions which investigations indicated
should be present IL cooperative
store is to be successful are: ~ good
leadership among the members, ~
capable management, (3) favorable
environment, with regard both to phys
ical location and to social or occupa-
tionol affiliations.
