cities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and
Alberta that the government is ready to
give each province 81 100000 for road
work provided the provinces make this
appropriation the minor portion of a

delegates to the correspondent this after.

gums claim on the first instalment paid
by Germany. If this cannot be guaran-

FARMERS, INCOME TAXES.
Explanation of the Deduction Allowed
by U. S. Government.

Washington, d. c., March l0.-lnstruc-
tions to farmers for making out income
tax returns, issued by the bureau of in
ternal revenue, explain what OUTLAWS
may be regarded as expenses and deduct
ed from gross income to determine ne.
income which is taxable.
The cost of ordinary tools of short
life or small cost il is explained, such
as shovels, hoes and rakes, may be in.
cluded The cost of feeding and raising
live stock may be treated ~ an expense
deduction. insofar as the cost represents
actual outlay, but not including the val.
lie of feed grown upon the farm, or the
labor of the taxpayer. Where a farmer is
engaged in producing crops which take
more than a year from the time of plant
ing to the process of gathering and dis
posal expenses deducted may be deter
mined upon the crop basis, and such de
duction must be taken in The year in
which the gross income from the crop
has been realized.
The cost of farm machinery and farm
buildings represents capital invest
ment and is not an allowable deduction
as an item of expense. Amounts spent
| in the development of farms, orchards,
and ranches before the time when the
productive state also is reached. and
amounts spent in purchasing draft or
work animals or live stock for resale or
for breeding purposes also are regarded
as capital investments, and deductible.
The purchase price of an automobile
even when used entirely in carrying on
farm operations, similarly isNnot deduct
ible. The cost Of gasoline, repairs and
upkeep OF an automobile, however, ii
used entirely on farm business, is de,
ductible as an expense. If used partly
for business and partly for pleasure or
convenience, the taxpayer should deter
mine to what extent it is used for each,
and deduct only that part charged to
business purposes.

BRITISH ADMIRAL
 IS DEAD
LONDON, Sept, O. Admiral Aron Charles Bcresford died suddenly this forenoon of a stroke of apoplexy.

Lord BereSfOrd became distinguish ed at sea as fighter in the British navy and then became famous on land as fighter in parliament for "a great British navy to control the seas"
 "Our supremacy at sea has been threatened" he exclaimed in one of his appeals. "We have arrived at a crisis in our history as an empire. 1t be. comes a matter of life or death to the British empire to remain supreme at sea-"
 Entering the British navy, at the age of l3, Beresford served his coun' try on the high seas, for half cen turv. During brief periods he served in Parliament. He was popular naval hero of England and a rear admiral when he was retired in 1911 at the age of 65 years.
 The world still remembers his cour- ageouS exploit in 1882, during the bombardment of Alexandria. He was then 35 years of age. In his little ship Condor" he Silenced the Marabout forts, entered the city and established an effective police force He was pro- noted to the rank of captain. He also received special commendation from Parliament and the widest enthu5- iaSm from the British public, .,-
 His was an eventful life. Scarcely a year passed but what some act of gallantry won him new hon0rS. He lad his naval brigade across the desert 10 Khartum in the vain attempt to res cue General Gordon. He commanded his sailors in the battles of Abu KleP. Abu Kru, and Metcmmeh. He led thc expedition which rescued Sir Charles Wilson's party in the "Safia", for which Parliament commended him for gallantry. The Srench Government thanked him for hiS assistance to the grounded 'Seignalay."
 Many foreign governments, as well as his own, Islov "G medals upon Ih" AGmral for ga'!;.nIry. But of them all, he felt mu%t p'tid of those which were given hin to. leaping overboard at high sea to rescue shipmateS. Three times was he thus honorcd.
 Lord BereSford believed in naval strength as the only security for peace.
 "The main point for the content ment and welfare of the people of th" world is peace" he declared. "Peace is absolutely essential"
