what deductions are allowed
a farmer for business expenses
i'm making out his income-taX
rcturn?'
This is one of the many ques-
lions which reVnue officers who
will visit every county in the
United States during January and
February will answer in detail.
Briefly, they include the amount
expended for labor in the prepar-
alton of land for crops and in the
cultivation, harvesting, and
marketing of the crop. Deduc-
tons may be made for the cost of
seed and fertilizer, the amount
expended 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
fern fences and machin Try is
dcductible. as we'll as the cost of
small tools and material which
is used up i'm the course of a
year or two, such as binding
Irvine, pitchforks, spades, etc.
The cost of machinery, such
as tractors and thrashing ma
chimes, can not be deducted, bul
the cost of their operation is a
deductible item.
The value of farm products is
not considered taxable until re-
duced to cash or its equivalent
If crops and stocks were pro-
duced i'm 1916 and sold in 1917

WASTE is CRIMINAL

o waste HOW - nOJulnS snort
OF criminal" Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo.
The duty of the American
people to economic in cOnsump-
ton of food and all other mater
ials as we'll as save money, can
not be too often or too strongly
urged upon them. The duty is so
imperative, its observance so
vital to our country's success,
Nthat it should be kept constantly
before them.
The proposition is plain and
unders tandable. We have less
ened the productive powers of
the country by taking 100000
men away from the productive
forces of the country; instead Of
producers of one kind or another
the soldiers are consumers of the
products of our farms, factories,
and mines, and when the NUM-
lions they eXpend and will eXpend
against the enemy is considered
they are tremendous consumers
of the manufactured products of
the country.
4 tremendous amount of the
manufacturing energy of the
country has been Withdrawn from
manufacturing the things we use
i'm peace and put to manufacture
ing the things we use in war.
The total loss to the country of
the productive energy of our SOL
diers and sailors and the diver
sion of a great portion of the
other productive energy Of the
country to war purposes lessen to
great extent the amount of
material and supplies produced
by the country.
TO this condition of lessened
production and increased con-
sumption of and by our own men
must be added the extraordinary
demand made upon this country
tu supply the armies of our allies
and to "a great extent their popu-
Iation with food and other ma
terial.
We must meet the condition

On one occasion when Christ was
TaSsinG the people made a great dem
on%tration, certain OF His enemies
iold Him to rcbuke them, but lie
told them that if they should hold
their peace that the rocks would cry
out. This shows clearly that God is
not dcpcndon, upon man alone to do
Ills bidding, but can make nature
itself talk TO the people. On one
occasion He caused an animal to
speak. When there was no one else
to speak against Gains wickcdncSs

fcrcd Abcls blood to cry out from

Today as the voice Of mankind Is
weak in speaking against the nfamy

against this wlckedncss.
Now. ii the Editor OF the Times

"NEWS SOIfT-PEDALED. y
The editor speaks OF The New

The editor speaks OF The News
being SOFT pcdalcd Tor ~ess2aN Us.
Well, he should have known that
that il not the first time that that
kind OF news has been "Soft-pcdalcd.
Black girls, who have been working
out among white families. trying to
make an honest living on their return
homcward in the evenings, they have
been run through the wide open
streets Of the town, by ilcndish white
men. sometimes to fall exhausted at
their mothers door. All this news
was "Soft-pcdalcd."
Not long ago when a white man
rode up to the door OF Il black man s
house and offered him, as it was al
tcrwards stated, $500 for the virtue
OF his daughter, this news was also
"soft-pcdalcd." In fact every time
Il black woman is inSultcd by Il white
man the news is ''soft-pedalcd.'
Now. ii seems that If the editor
prayed and tasted as he was COM
mandcd on the 30th OF May, he
scarcely got through with that job
before he rushed to the desk to get
his pen that he might condemn, ten
or twelve million people for Il crime
that was supposed to have hccn COM
mittcd by five men. No doubt he
stands around and thinks that God
has answered his prayer. If the fate
OF the country hung upon such fcl-
lows as he, why its doom is already
sealed.

So far as | have been able to gather
from the report, or Otherwise, THIS
somewhat sweeping criticism was
based upon the removal OF Chief Sow

he admItcd consisted in immediately
