SOME USEFUL LINING HINTS
Baby Coat Is Made Out of the ordin-
AIRY by Employing Pink Silk Un- -
der White Crepe de Chine.

One of the prettiest baby coats inn
aginable is made quite out of the or
binary simply by its lining. The coat
is made of a heavy quality of crepe
de chine in white. The lining is pink,
not too deep a shade, but sufficiently
pink to show through the white in just
a delicate glow. The two silks are
embroidered and scalloped together;
this embroidery holds in the lining
just near enough to the white to give
it an elusive touch, delicate enough
for the tiniest baby.
Another lining hint is a bit more
practical. It consists in lining the
new satin collars with self-material to
make them do double duty. The nat
ural impulse is to ave material when
making wash satin collars and to line
them with a thin lawn or muslin, but
making the collar doubly Of satin
means that 1t can be turned over when
soiled on one side, thus saving a wash.

now worn with dark frocks can be

call of the cause of democracy through

and however small his means, the op-

struggle against the military masters
of Germany, who seek to dominate
the world in contempt of justice and

Business Experience on Farm

A question that at the present time
is of some interest 10 the farmers of
Cavalier county is, "What deduc-
tions are allowed a farmer for ousi-
ness expenses in making out his
income tax returns? "This is one of
the many questions which the revenue
officers who will visit every county
in the United States during the COM
ing month will find Themselves called
upon to answer in detail. Briefly
they include the amount expended
in labor and the preparation of the
land for crops and in the cultivation,
harvesting and threshing as we'll as
the marketing of the crop. Deduc-
tions may be made for the cost of
seed and fertilizer, the amount ex-
pended for labor, in caring for
livestock, cost of feed, repairs to
farm and other farm buildings, not
the cost of repairs to the dwelling.
The cost of repairs to farm fences
and machinery is deducted as veil
as the cost of all tools and material
which issused up in the course of a year
or two, such as binding Irvine, pitch
forks, spades, etc. The cost of ma
chinery, such as tractors, and thresh-
ing machines cannot be deducted, but
the cost of their: operation is a deduc.
tible item. TheFyalue of farm pro.
ducts 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 therefore is to be included
in the farmers tax return for the
calendar year of 1917. Crops pro.
duced in 1917 and on hand December
31st need not be considered. Persons
in doubt as to any of the provisions
of the income tax section of the war
revenue''act r advised by the Bureau
of Internal Revenue to see the reven-
nue. officer who will visit their county
to assist taxpayers in making out
their returns, which must be filed on
or before March 1st., 1913.
