 It seemed Strange-Very strange ln- seed--that I should be pitted against he man that I had considered the ling of pugilism; the unbeatable hampton. Of course, the bout was anly a friendly one and neither Of us Uncovered much of our real ability. But, just the same, I wanted to show gnv friends in San Francisco that ohm l.. held no terrors for me. And guess the big fellow, realizing that had acquired d sizeable following in kan Francisco, decided that 1t might Re worth while to unlimber bit and lame me with some of his famed Aavape chances and a few of his right hand jolts.
 During the first round both of us lparred cautiously and only did some airht tapping. Yet, I followed every hove of John, compared his style with my own, studded his every ring rick and when the first round was bver and I went back to my corner eomething within me almost shrleked: Jim Corbett, in d finish contest lou are that mans master"
 
 Such a feeling seemed for Q mom- s,nt a traitorous one. Not until that Ryerv second had it ever occurred to mo that I could whip John l.. New hr had such a thought been mine; shever had I even aspired tc battle Holm L. to a finish. The height ot nv ambition up to that night had merely been to rank second to John L.; to become heir apparent 70 his khrone and succeed him only through his retirement But all through that

 Imme ediately that the fourth round was over and E went back to my cor ner, Billy Delaney, my trainer, jump ed up and in voice trembling with excitement, said:
 "Jim-JiTn, you showed him up. If he ever gives you a chance over the distance route you've got hiEl.'
 DelaIey's sentiments echoed my own. And I whispered down to him:
 Billy, I feel the way you do; but let's keep it quiet for while.'
 The next day every San Francisco paper declared that Jim Corpett made a splendid showing against John l. Sullivan.' Some-extremel friendly toward me-Went so far as to say that in a finish match under Quecnsbury rules, "Corbett probably would have at least a fair chance with Sullivan"
 John l.. read those artc'e9 alu those who were close to him, then, told afterward that the stories had the effect of angering him; that at- ter he had read them his earlier fond ness for me changed to q feeling akin to enmity. All of a sudden, seemed to have changed in John L. s estlma- ton; I had developed practically over night, from a kid in whom he was ln- terested into d foeman into person who threatened to dethrone him after nearly ten years of reign as the King of Pugilism.
 A few days later John l.. sailed for Australia. And, during the months of his absence papers here and there | throughout the country began to asl- tate a meeting between us 10 settle the question::

"You will be allowed about per
cent depreciation, and this must cover
the wear and tear Any expenditure
additional to that amount cannot be
allowed as expense, because such ex-
cess takes on the form of additional
investment
Then, l am allowed about per
cent depreciation, but the 5000 addi-
tons I cannot charge off as expense
Exactly. OF course, minor repairs
such as lock on door, the replace
ment of broken window pane, ETC..
may be charged to expense without
reference to depreciation"
1t should be borne in mind there is
no depreciation allowed on land, hence
only the improvements, thereon are
considered in this connection. But
buildings fall into decay and machin-
cry and furniture and fixtures wear
out and in their replacement the
sums expended are not properly
chargeable to operating expense. The
amount of their natural depreciation
through wear and tear during the
year, is, however, proper charge
against the gross income for the year.

Would like to tell you more about il
but the censor would probably cut II
out.
We certainly had fine time Christ,
mas. The first thing we had a big
mail just the day before. Was most
ly don't open until Christmas" sc
they were held over till Christmas
when they were distributed with
tobacco. l wasn't lucky enough to
get any boxes but l got some letters
and that was enough for once. Then
the dinner. I've forgotten the menu
but it was just great, enough for all
and more. After dinner we all went
to the Y. M. C. A. to spend the rest
of the day The piano was going full
blast and everybody was having a
great time That night we had a
tree, speeches and more fun.
For New Years eve we had stag
dance billed, but it failed to material
ize. Were going to have New Years
dance the same as those at home. Our
Y. M. C. A. here has been a fine place
for us, warm, light and everything we
need.
We are looking for mail all the
time now, have only had one big mail
here and SO expect more.
We are living high here; all we
want to eat and then some. The on
ly thing lacking is sweets, sugar and
the like. Candy is very expensive,
almost prohibitive, so we don't buy.
Only wait for the mail in hopes that
the folks have sent a box.
Have seen several Americans who
are back for rest after serving their
term in the trenches and they are
all eager to get back in the thick of
it. That is the spirit of the boys"
over here-they can hardly wait I'M
til their turn comes The English
can't understand it; they say, What
is the use to be in such bloody rush
the war will last" but still the
boys" go in.
I don't know if we will be that way
or not after our first term in the
bitches. There is considerable spec
ulation among the men just how much
longer it will last but of course we
don't know.
Was certainly glad to hear of the
Y. NJ C. A. drive being successful.
That is our best friend over here.
A. Hughes is somewhere in Eng
land" Was left there in quarantine

HIS FORMER TEACHER.

Democrat is permitted to publish the
following letter from Roy Welterlen
of this city, who is with the, American
Army in France: @stsss4s
Somewhere in France, janis, 18
Dear Miss Riddell:
At last I have managed to get start
ed on letter to you. Have meant
to write long ago but waited until
after New Years and since then we
have been rather busy. We are now
cover there" and have surely been hav-
ing a great time We are in barracks
just now but are expecting to move,
then will be "bilited" in houses, barns
and the like.
The barracks we are in now are a
long way from being like those at
Camp Dodge. They have two stoves
that put out as much smoke as heat.
Bunks are arranged along the sides
and a door at each end. It is far
from being air-tight, instead we get
as much fresh air as if we were out
side. At that II is good for us.
Had rain the other day and Of
course our roof leaked, We let it go
because when it is raining it is too
stormy to fix it, and when it is not
raining it don't need fixing.
We have been fairly comfortable,
though, and outside of a few frost
bites and sore throats, we have gone
through it in good shape; and we
have had some real nasty weather
lately.
The weather here has been much
like our early spring, rain and snow,
then freeze. Today it is both raining
and showing making it very bad.
Have just been issued hip boots and
hobnail shoes which will help us to
keep dry. We have been well pro-

is here for us, and although we have
good hard work to do we have not
suffered very much. We have really
enjoyed ourselves ever since leaving
the states. Had fine ship accommo-
dations and so were able to enjoy the
rough sea and the long trip. After
landing we went to rest camp for
a few days then sent to another rest
camp, then sent here. Have certainly
seen great sights along the lines. We
are near very old French city now
and it is surely great to see just what
an old town is like. 1t is perched
way up on a hill and the sight from
It's walls is SIMPLY wonderful On
clear day we can easily see Mont !
Blanc in Switzerland. We go walking
eeing the sights whenever we can.

U. S. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION

The United States Civil Service
commission will hold competitive
examinations on March Is in all the
principal towns of Iowa, the nearest
to Manchester being Dubuque, Cedar
Rapids and Waterloo Applicants
may be either men or women, and
must have reached their eighteenth
birthday on or before the date of ex-
animation. Their proficiency will be
tested in stenography, typewriting,
spelling, copying, penmanship, letter
writing and arithmetic.
The tests are, not unreasonably diff
ficult, and should not discourage any
one who has reasonable knowledge
of these subjects. A rating of gen.
eral average of 70 per cent will con-
stitute eligibility for position.
Applicants must submit to the ex-
aminer on the date OF their examina
ton their photographs, taken within

DON'T NEGLECT TO MAKE INCOME
TAX REPORT,


Have your made your income ta1
return to the government? If you are
liable for one and fail to make it
heavy penalty will result.
Returns must all be in before
March. l, and one4half of February
the shortest month on the calendar
already is gone. a..
Thousands in. Iowa have complied
with the law, but there are other thou
sands who apparently are putting ii
off.
Every single person with a net in
come Of $1,000 or more and every mar
ried person living with wife or hus-
band, whose joint income is $4,000 or
more, is liable No excuse will be &C
cepted. Those who fail to have their
returns in before March 1 will be
dealt with as delinquents and penal
ties will be enforced.
The government is affording every
aid to the taxpayer to make easy his
compliance with the law, but the bur-
den rests entirely with him. 1t is not
Uncle Sans duty to look up the man
who is liable and see that return is
made. The plea that nobody called
on me" will be useless after March /,
when the man who has neglected his
duty is apprehended.
With sources of information re-
garding incomes that the government
will have at its disposal, the man who
succeeds completely in evading his
income tax obligation will be as rare
as the proverbial hens teeth.
Depreciation Problem.
Income tax deputies over the state
report a large amount of misunder-
standing regarding the principals Of
depreciation. Here is a sample con-
versation between taxpayer farmer

cases where depreciable property is
involved) and official, which should
clear up difficult points:
so you won't allow as expense the
5000 repairs on those farm buildings?'
"No," answered the deputy, chose
so-called repairs, representing new
roof and a new shed-annex to the barn

are, however. allowed depreciation"
