MAKES RULING ON 26O9;;
LARGE BANK DEPOSITS
By I. A. FLEMINa.

The internal revenue bureau today
handed down ruling that is one OF
the most important issued in connec-
tion with the collection Of income
taxes.
It relates to the much discussed Ques-
ton Of whether Inventories Of securf-
ties. and also merchandise. can be
listed at cost price or market price.
Millions Of dollars Of taxes depend on
this question.
When issued the decision OF the
Treasury Department. No. 260s, was
very generally welcomed by invest
ment bankers and dealers in securities,
as 1t gave them an opportunity to
,, write of their immense losses sus-
tanned In 1917, the ruling. being much
more valuable to them than to, any
other class of business.
Much comment was INDUCED in as to
the value Of deducting losses, the
| Bankers Association, as stated at the
time and later. urging that its provi-
sions be not claimed.
Yesterday announcement was made
Attorney General for an opinion on the
ruling.
The Department of Justice suggested
that it should not give an opinion on
the ruling.
A test case is now pending in the
Supreme Court from Michigan-the case
| of the Mitchell Brothers Lumber Com
pany versus the revenue collector at
Grand Rapids.
Failing to get an opinion from the
Attorney General, Commissioner Roper
has ruled that returns in cases in point
shall be made on two bases-origina1
cost and present value of goods or Sc
curities.
The tax will be collected later, in
| view of the decisions which tho Su-
preme Court will hand down.

Wilbur. state secretary OF the Red

the highest call, withoutv any duea-

Is not a question Of selecting only
women who are physically fit, but
they must have had specialized train
ing. Undoubtedly every nurse who
has held back from registering will
soon feel the obligation, for with the
great American offensive now in
progress a. very great need ig TO have
American nurses in the hospitals
behind the lines.
The whole responsibility does not
however, lie with the graduate nurse.
The civilian population has a lesson
to learn in that they can do with
out graduate nurses for individual
cases. People can go TO hospitals
and accept the general care instead
Of requiring the services Of one nurse
for a single patient. II should be
considered as great a lack in loyal
~ to retain the services of a nurse,
unnecessarily. as any of the more
ordinary methods of evading duty.

THRESHERS Are
|. URGED TO MOVE
MACHINES NORTH
Plenty Work In Northern
Half Of State, Says
Labor Director

Threshing machine owners in sec
tons of the southern half of North
Dakota, where threshing Is over or
nearly over should plan on moving
their crews and, If possible. their
machines to the northern half Of the
state where practically all Of the
threshing remains to be done, Lind
ley H. Patten, state director of the
United States employment service,
said today.
"Threshing in the northern half
of the state is practically untouched
and there is work for every machine
and crew." Mr.. Patten said. In
some localities there is 30 to 40
days run.
Besides, 1t is a patriotic duty, and
necessary If the bumper crop Is To
be saved. It would be shame to
allow men who are in the state to
leave before all threshing has been
done"
Mr.. Patten added that the short.
age Of two weeks ago has been over
come by the action of Minneapolis
| in placing it's farm labor department
! at the service Of the North Dakota
| division.
Saturday is the last day we car
get men from Minneapolis, but there
| is no longer need for them. We are
very grateful for the help, which
proved q real sacrifice when men are
so badly needed In Minnesota" Mr.

BOX IS REPORTED
OUT OF POSITION
With THE STATE
DEFENSE COUNCIL

Thomas Allan Box Of Casselton,
secretary Of the eatuocticnietao
secretary of the state council of de-
Tense, is no longer secretary Of that
body, according to a report received
today from Bismarck. John B.
Brown, correspondent in Bismarck
OF the Fargo official organ Of the
Nonpartisan league, recently ap-
pointed assistant secretary, now is
secretary.
Bismarck advlces are not clear as
to the exact cause of Mr.. Box's re-
tffement, but several theories are
advanced. They include, among
others, the theory that he has been
recalled by the president of the league
TO 20 into the field for organization
work, for the harvesting of this
years crop gives the farmers a good
deal Of money and makes this the
period for intensive organization
personal attention to the organiza-
ton of league banks, for which a
large commission is collected by the
bank organization corporation of
which several of the leagues presi-
dents employees are officers. ..'
Another theory advanced at Bis
naYck is that Mr.. Box and Attor-
ney General William LANCER haven
been getting along very well; that it
was LANCER who caused the dismiss
al from the council of defense pay
roll recently Of three or four friends
of Mr.. Box. and that Mr.. LANCER
brought about the retirement of Mr..
Box himself.
The new secretary Is young
newspaper man who has been in the
state about two years, employed
during that period by the Nonparti-
san Publishing company, by the
state. and by the government, in va
rfous capacities.

Virginia Pearson. star in THE

preserving flowers which make a
most excellent substitute for jewel

, Miss Pearson, in the course Of
reading an old Italian novel, ran
across the formula for most potent

great powers as a preservative.
With the aid Of a chemist she had
the solution prepared. Then she
placed flower in it and let it stay
overnight. The next morning the
flower was crystallized. While 1t was
still wet, Miss Pearson sprinkled
some gold dust over the blossoms
and then placed it in a dark room.
When it was dried she put a tiny
piece of court plaster beneath the
flower and then wore it on her bos-
