Liberty loan officials for Chicago and the
rest of the Seventh federal reserve district
have issued statements warning the workers
in the organization that nothing should be per-
mitted to delay the carrying out of the plans
for the fotation of the Victory Liberty loan,
which positively, according to secretary of the
treasury will be placed before the people not
later than April 81.
1t is pointed out by the Liberty loan off,
Gals that the reports from Washington are
merely concerning the details of the big loan
to be hoated in the spring, and that no matter
what the nature of the securities, whether notes
or bonds, the Liberty loan workers have a Job
cut out for them and they must move swiftly
and with greater vim and determination than
ever before.
Charles H. schweppe. directors of the Vic
tory Liberty loan campaign, made the follow
ing statement in his appeal to the workers and
the public:
Now that Secretary of the Treasury
Glass has definitely announced that the
Victory Liberty loan campaign will be
launched not later than April 81 and
that it will be an intensive popular cam
paign with view of obtaining the best
possible distribution, workers in all
branches of the general organization
must leave nothing undone to crown the
campaign with the degree of success
that the great war victory warrants
We don't know yet what means the
government will adopt to raise the money
whether through short-term treasury
notes or long term bonds, but we do
know that our job has been cut out for :
US and thai must swiftly and
with greater vim and determination than
ever before 1t is traditional that the
American people never start anything
they can't finish. and 1 have no doubt
that, whatever plan the government may
adopt, the American people will deliver
the goods"

The boy means that he will eth
er pay your railroad fare or your
expenses while in the town and
that he will pay those of your
chaperon. It is perfectly proper
to go and let him pay what he de-
sires if you take your mother or
married sister along. Under no
circumstances would it be proper
to go alone. -

There was a Merchants Pro

composed of ten local storekeepers
and it's members expressed a good
deal of curiosity and interest at a
monthly meeting where it had
been announced Roscoe Meredith
had a matter of Importance to pre-
sent for their consideration.
Roscoe was a general favorite in
the town.
Gentlemen" he said, when he
appeared before the association, Il

tune-a license to practice law.
The city invited with glittering
prospects, but prescribed initially
a surplus capital I have not got.

NET INCOME.

Net income for the purpose OF
making out an income tax return,
is gross income less certain deduc-
tions provided for by the revenue
bill. The current act allows the
ordinary and necessary expenses,
and specifically includes salaries
for personal services and rentals
paid for business purposes.
Losses incurred by a taxpayer in
any transaction entered into for
profit outside of his regular line OF
business are allowed. Under the
1917 act deductions for such losses
were allowed only to the extent OF
gains in similar transactions. If,
for example, a person made 81 900
on one stock market transaction
and in another lost 5000, he was
required to include the $1,000 in
his return as gross income and
could deduct only that amount as
a loss. Under the current act he is
allowed a net deduction of $4,000.
A reasonable allowance is made
for depreciation of busic ess prop
erty, including reasonable amount
for adolescence. In the case OF
buildings, machinery and equip
ment built or acquired after April
6. 1917, and ships bull or acquired
after that date and used in the
prosecution of the war, a reason
able allowance is made for amorti-
cation.
A reasonable allowance is made
for the depletion of oil and gas
wells, other natural deposits and
timber, and for depreciation of i'm
provenents according to the Pc
culiar conditions in each case"
Contributions or gifts made dur
ing the year 1918 to corporations
organized for charitable, scientific,
religious or educational purposes,

HOW A SALE WAS LOST.
Sir: Here is about woman who went
to see the government houses built here in
Rock Island. Before going further permit me
to mention that many of these houses had not
been completed and the plumbing was not yet
installed. The bathtubs for several of them
were sitting on the front porches of the houses
for which they were intended-just where they
had been placed by the men when delivered.
Well, to go with the story, the lady, who is
evidently a stickler for propriety, after going
from one house to another and noticing at each
place that the bath tub on the front porch,
turned to the gentleman showing her about
with the remark This thing of having the
bath tub on the front porch may be very mod
ern and all that, but | could NEVER think OF
taking bath in such place."
