THE MORALE.

morale" Is great word these
days. Here is an article in the New
York Times magazine entitled "Italy's
New Morale" What does it mean?
Certainly not artillery, regiments,
munitions of war, or anything If q
material nature. 1t Is altogether a
different force. 1t is spiritual, Of as
Ben Rur described it, 1.-THE resolution
which Is the soul of mans soul" 1t
Is that which possesses a soldier
to make him brave, faithful aud self
sacrificing, says Ohio State Journal.
Without it he Is a coward. So the
great thing is to keep up the morale
Of an army. The recent victory Of the
Italians was won by their morale, by
their spirit pushing to the front, where
brave deeds were needed. The morale
Is the grandest part of any man,
wherever he is. It is needed every
wherein religion, education, politics,
business, family life. But 1t never
comes for low, mean cause. The
spirit is God in the life of man. The
morale IS the reawakening of ourself
from within, where God put all of
real worth In man. So 1t makes q
better fighter, better business man,
better scholar, better worker out of
q man.

wished that they, too, might have had

rush into battle with the knowledge
that "Thrice armed Is he who knows

Ruling Makes Clear
Tax Collectible on
Land Sales Profits

Farmers who plan on selling land
within the next year will be interested
in ruling made by the internal reve-
nue. department with respect to the
amount of profit which is subject to
the income tax when the sale is made
on a contract.
If the farm Is sold outright, accord
ing to the new ruling, and a deed is
delivered, the taxable income is the
difference between the selling price
and the cost of the land, or the value
as Of March !, 1918, if acquired prier
to that date, as has been the rule
heretofore.
Likewise. when a farm !s solo on
contract and a substantial payment
Is made, ordinarily not less than one
fourth Of the purchase price. deferred
payments being secured by mortgage
or other lien, the profit indicated by
the entire consideration is taxable in
come for the year in which the initial
payment Is made.
However. when a farm Is sold on a
contract and the initial payment e
relatively small, generally less than
one-fourth Of the purchase price, ana
the deferred payments are small and
numerous. the vendor may then re-
port as his income the proportion Of
the total profit realized as the amount
Of the payment received bears to the
total selling price. The income from
all future sales Of land will be deter
mined in the light Of the above ruling
