that the cost of egg production is at
its lowest in April, May and June.
We do not wish you to infer that
eggs are scarce, compared to receipts
in other years. They are scarce only to
the extent that there Is now the great
est consun1ptive demand for eggs ever
experienced. The high cost of all
meats partly accounts for this, and
the extraordinary call from Europe
for eggs merely accentuates an al
ready abnormal situation. Eggs ad-
vanced in Chicago one day this week
in the face of receipts of $4,000 cases,
the largest on record. With reference
to prices on these fresh arrivals mar
ket editor said: ut is estimated that
the consumptive demand requires 49,
900 cases daily. This leaves plenty Of
stocks to go to store. Bushes Is good
and prices are at wide range, be-
cause of the continued uncertainty as
to quality"
Pork the Price Barometer.
So long as pork products are high
in price no cheap eggs or poultry may
be expected. We all recall the time
when Mr. Hoover told us Of the large
stocks of iced poultry in the refriger-
ators, and of the food value in a dol
lars worth Of poultry and eggs as COM
pared to beef and pork. And we all
just as well remember how the price

is also true as to Ohio counties. On

basis of the computation. If the
property suffering depreciation
was bought or acquired prior to
March l, 1913. the market value
as of that date is used. instead of
the cost +, in figuring depreciation.
Contributions or gifts actually
made in 1918 to organizations ope-
rating exclusively for religious,
charitable, scientific or education
purposes, and to societies for the
prevention of cruelty to children
or animals, may be deducted. to
an amount not exceeding Is per
cent Of the net income computed
without the benefit Of this deduc-
ton.
CATER the total of all income
is found, and the deductions al
lowable by law have been COM
puted as an offset, the amount OF
income in excess Of such deduc-
tons is the net income, which
forms the basis Of the assessment
of tax.
eff every person in this district
will examine his own 1918 income
and his allowable deductions, In
line with data that I have given,
he will know beyond doubt
whether he must file his return
when the blanks arrive. And here
is how he will determine his La
bility o file return. If he is
single he must file if his net in
come was $1,000 or more. and this
requirement is enforced whether
or not he is the head of family.
If he is married, he must file his
return if his net income. includ-
ing that of his wife and minor chill

through use Of property or money,
should be added into the gains for
1918.
Everybody wants to know
what income is exempt from tax.
Very few plums that fall to the
average man may be legally dis
regarded in figuring up his 1918
income. Gifts and requests can
be eliminated; also proceeds OF
life insurance received by the ben
efciary Of an insured person. A
person who cashed in an endow-
ment policy need report as in
come 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 received in the year
payments which represent. when
added to all prior payments on
the annuity, an amount greater
than the original cost of the an
nuity. Dividends on unexpired
of fee insurance policies are. not
taxable income; but dividends on
paid-up policies must be consid.
cred income. Alimony is not in
come to the recipient, nor is it an
allowable deduction on the part OF
the person who pays.
"From the total Of all items Of
inc ONE, there are certain dedr:-
lions allowable by law. All IT,
terest paid on personal indebted
ness and all taxes paid during the
year are deductible, except Fed
eral Income and Excess Profits
taxes. inheritance taxes and as
sessments for local improvements,
such as sidewalks, sewers. etc.
Losses incurred in business or
trade are allowable, also losses
arising from fires, storms, ship
wreck or other casualty. OF, from
theft, in cases where such losses
are not compensated for by insur-
ance or otherwise, Losses in
cured outside of a persons regu-
lar business are allowable to the
extent Of gains reported from
similar transactions within the
year. Debts due to the taxpay-
er actually ascertained to be
worthless during the year are de-
|ductible.
Depreciation on property used
in a profession, in business, or in
farming is another item that may
be claimed as a deduction. The
storekeeper may claim deprecia-
ton. on his fixtures, and on his
delivery horses and wagons. but
not on his stock held for sale. The
professional man may claim sim
liar deduction on his Instruments,
and. in the case Of a physician who
maintains a team or auto for max
ing his calls on patients, reason
able depreciation may be claimed.
The farmer may claim deprecis-
ton ON his farm bindings. aside
from his personal residence, also
| on his farm machinery. his work
horses and farm work wagons.
The theory of depreciation. in
connection with the Income Tax,
| is that wear and tear caused by
| use in earning income is real
expense in the earning Of that IN
come. The rate is determined BY
| the number Of years that the prop
erty ordinarily would be useful,
land the cost Of the property Is the
