"The farmer is not required to in

the value of farm produce consumed by
himself and family. But in eases where
he exchanges produce for merchandise,
groceries, etc, the market value. of the

CAN other items of income arising
during the year through personal ser

Everybody wants to know what III

plums that fall to the average man
may be legally disregarded in figuring
up his 1918 income. Gifts and be-
quests can be eliminated, also proceeds
of life insurance received by the bene-
ficiary of an insured person. A per
son who cashed an endowment policy
need report only that portion which ex-
ceeds the total of the premiums he paid
in all years on that policy. Annuities
are not taxable unless the person re-

Dividends on unexpired life insurance

dividends on paid-up policies must be

Denver, Jan. 2l.-Warning to west

take full advantage of their opportu-
mites to produce the maximum guam.
tity of livestock 80 that the needs Of
the nation can be met at reasonable
prices was voiced by Clay Tallman,
commissioner of the general land office,
in an address today at the opening ses-
sion of the twenty second annual con-
vention of the American National Live
stock association
at is very well for you stockmen
to talk of limiting production to CORE
spond with the demand so as to keep
up prices,' Mr.. Tallman said, but the
laboring man in the east who has 20
pay days wages for roast, doesn t
look at it that way
Mr.. Tallman said 20O,OO0,000 acres
of land in the "rain belt" in the east
ern states now are lying idle, and
added, of the western states fail to-
rise to their opportunity and develop
the livestock industry to its maximum,
the effect will be to turn to these lands
or to importation from abroad for its
meat supply and the west will not only
have been derelict in its duty, but will
suffer from the lack of development ot
which it is capable. -

to pay the tax if any is due.

VILLAS PENCHANT.

FL Paso, Ten, June 7.--MeXicans
seldom do anything without an eye
fer the picturesque and Francisco
Villa seems to react to the spectacu-
lar. Wien he attacks a towns it is
usually on some holiday He almost
always starts his assault Just before
dawn to heighten the effect, and gal
tops INTO town, once it has fallen, with
all the awc-inspiring trappings the
MeXicans love. Even atyColumbus, N.
NJ, Villa donned his one and only
f. Il dress UNIFORM, pinned his valor
medal to his breast and charged at
the head Of his bandits.
The attack and capture of Parral
ON Easter Saturday and Sunday is an
illustration of Villas capacity for do
ing the picturesque. The attack on
the town was started from the side
Of Sierra de Ia Cruz (the Hill of the
CrcsS) on Holy Saturday, when all
of the natives were wearing their
mourning dress to the little adobe
church. All day the battle was
fought and ate into the night Next
morning, as the bells were calling the
faithful to Easter morning mass, Vii
la made his victorious entry into the
town, riding his big white horse and
with silver spurs clanking to the CEN
ter of his steed.
His first order was to continue the
Easter services and that no one
should be molested during the church
worship. In the meantime he had
ordered old Jose de la Luz Herrera
and his two sons executed in the
cemetery bac. Of the church and the
Easter mass was punetuated by the
