FROM THE BUREAU OF INTERN.
AL REVENUE.

What deductions are allowed a
farmer for business expenditures in
making out his income-tax return%
This is one of the many questions
which revenue officers who will visit
every county In the United States dur
ing January end February will answer
in detail. Briefly, they include the
amount expended for laoor in the
preparation of land for crops aud in
preparation of land for crops and in
the cultivation, harvesting, and mar
keting of the crop. Deductions may
be made for the cost of seed aud fer
tilizer, the amount expended FOE labor
in caring for live stock, cost of feed
repairs to farm and other farm build
ings, but not the cost of repairs to the
dwelling The cost of repairs to farm
fences and machinery is deductible, as
well as the cost Of small tools and
material which is used up In the course
of year or two, such as binding
Irvine, pitchfOrks, spades, etc.
The cost Of machinery, such as trac-
tors and thrashing machines, cannot
be deducted, but the cost Of their oper-
alton lisa deductible item.
The value of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced In 1915 and sold
In 1917, the amount received therefor
Is to be included in the farmers tax
return for the calendar year 1917.
Crops produced In 1917 and on hand
December 81 need not be considered.
Persons in doubt as to any of the pro-
visions OF the income-tax section of the
war-revenue act are advised by the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue to see the
revenue officer who will visit their
county to assist taxpayers in making
out their returns, which must be filed
on or before March 1, 1918.

URGE DRASTIC
ACTION TO CURB
GERMAN PRESS

Washington, April State govern
ors meeting here today with members
of the Council of National Defense
urged drastic action to stamp out dis
loyalty and to curb the German Ian
guage press. They advocated meas
ures to prevent preaching in German
and the teaching Of German in
schools,
Secretary Daniels, who presided as
head of the council, in reply asked
the governors to formulate resolutions
supporting the bill drafted by Attor-
ney General Gregory to reach spies,
traitors and disloya1 persons. The
resolution committee of the govern
ors met later at Secretary Lanes Of
fee.
When full AUGMENTATION has been
accomplished, Secretary Daniels said,
not only will every American be mob
ilized for war, but 1--WE will put the
fear of God into the hearts of those
who live among Us and fatten on US
and are not Americans
Gov. Stewart of Montana, said the
governors found themselves in accord
with the program of AUGMENTATION
by education mapped out at yester-
days Americanization conference, but
necessary.
1.-The greatest criticism heard" he
declared, 'is against the timorous at
titude of the national government to-
ward treason

completion of his term, or to be used
for the support of his family where
deemed necessary by the County
Commissioners.
Prisoners not suitable for state Ia
Dor, or in excess of the number re-
quired by the state, may be employed
by the commissioners upon the farms
of the country under such restrictions
and terms as deemed most advanta-
geous to the county, ?
1t was pointed out that the present
contract returns to the county $4,000
for prison labor, of which part is used
In furnishing extra clothing. In Wins
ham county, where labor is employed
outside, the returns to the county for
one year were $4,000 in cash and
$4,000 in produce raised.
The proposition of the Highway
Commissioner may be terminated by
either party upon proper notice.
On motion of Samuel c. Shaw of
Redding. the recommendation Of the
committee was adopted without q dis
senting vote.
The employment of the Jail labor
on outside work is a radical departure
from practice in this county, where
labor has been employed at the jail
under contract to Frank E. Clark for
more than 20 years.

final REPORT BY
JUSTICE WHEELER
ON court HOUSE

Justice George W. Wheeler today
made his final report to the county
meeting for the committee in charge
of building the addition to the County
Courthouse, showing there is a bal
ance of cash on hand of $6,524 with
only one or two small bills not paid.
The report was accepted, and the
committee was authorized to expend
the balance of the appropriations for
decorations of the walls, and for i'm
provement of the acoustic properties
of two of the new court rooms. Both
objects can be accomplished with the
amount of money available.
Justice Wheeler presented an ex-
haustive report, with a complete tab
ulation of all of the expenditures. He
said the heating system had not yet
been made quite satisfactory to the
committee, and a payment of $1,100
has been held back until the proper
corrections are made.
There was some discussion as to
the use of the Hall Home property,
west of the courthouse, and it was
suggested it be used as a parking
space. It was pointed out that by the
widening of a drive way, and addi-
tional room obtained at the rear of
the present building this will not be
necessary at present.
Samuel c. Shaw moved acceptance
of the report, and a vote of thanks
for the committee, which was adopted
by unanimous vote.

such here. Happily it is to be bought at cost of 10 to Is
per cent less than it's cost in usual jewelers. For the How

French POSITION

case of peril. Keep confidence in
Frances hour"
1.-THE Germans lost the present bat
tie on Monday and Tuesday of last
week, just as they lost the Battle Of
Verdun on Feb. "a, 1916, Immediately
after they captured Douaumont," de-
clares Abel Ferry, former Under Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs, in the Petit
Journal. The battle, he adds, was lost
the instant it became a race between
the Allies and the Germans to see who
could first bring up fresh reserves.
He declares the present fighting is
equal to five Verduns rolled into one.
Reports from The Hague de-
clare Germany is actually stunned
by the immensely of her losses in
the present drive and that at
Frankfort on the-M Main there was
an outbreak when 1, 800 wounded,
all stretcher cases, were taken off
one train. Speakers declared the
nation should suffer no more for
lone mans ambitions" and grave
disorders were only prevented
when Red Cross men begged the
people to desist for fear of killing
their own wounded.
Austrian papers are openly brand
| ing the offensive as a failure in the
| effort to drive a wedge between the
Anglo-French armies.
Fuller figures show the immensely
Of the Teuton losses. The 208th Di-
vision lost 10 per cent. of it's effect
ives, at least S,4o0 men. The 10th
| lost half or 5000 troops. The 18th
Reserve was completely annihilated.
The S1st Division lost 70 per cent,
or 8,400 men. The average company
strength of the First Division was re-
duced to 40 per cent. up to March %.
