Sheep Died Because of Improper Feed.

When Aaron Gale, a Livingston
County farmer, lost five sheep out
of more than 800 he was feeding, he
called on the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture to determine
whether some disease was getting In
to his flock. From several post NOR
tenn examinations it was discovered
that no contagious disease had caused
the loss but that it was probably due
to the methods of feeding and the
material fed.
Extension Circular 81 explains the
best methods for feeding sheep and
the general care the flock should re-
ceive. 1t may be had free on request
by addressing the College at Colum-
bia.

A Soldiers Protest.


We are sending this appeal to you
From far across the foam;
To let you know just how we feel
About one thing at home.
We left the dear old U. s. A.
With cheer fond goodbye,
And yet while we were away
You had to vote her dry.
We sailed away and came across
We left it all to you;
To keep it as we left it
Was the only thing to do.
We came across to fight for you,
We did our best each day
Until all things were settled
In Yankee Doodle Way.
And while we fought for you in France
You made the old states dry.
You never gave us one half chance
Our vote on it to try.
Now if you have tie old town dry
And put the ban on beer
We might as well forget the place
And stay right over here.
This is the voice of all the boys
Who were fighting teeth and eye,
So do US favor, lads
Don't let the states go dry.

The following was recently issued
by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue relative to the collection of
tax on soft drinks:
Sec. $50. That ON and after May /,
1919, there shall be levied, assessed, !,
collected and paid tax of cent for
each 10 cents or fraction there of of
the amount paid to any person con-
Quoting a soda fountain, ice cream
parlor, or other similar place of busi-
ness for drinks commonly KIN as
soft drinks, compounded or mixed at
such place of business, or for ice
cream, ice cream sodas, sundaes
or other similar articles of food
or drink, when any of the alb owe are
sold on or after such date for con-
sumption in or in proximity to such
place Of business.
For the purpose of the tax and as
used in these regulations the term
"Vendor" means an individual, part
nership, association, or corporation
engaged in the business of selling any
of the articles enumerated in section
$50 to purchaser for consumption.
Thus, vendor may be manufactur-
er, jobber, wholesaler, retailer, trustee
in bankruptcy, receiver, or peddler.
The tax is measured by the price
for which the food or drink is sold. 1t
is on the actual sales price at the rate
of l cent for each 10 cents or fraction
thereof of the amount paid for any
of the articles mentioned in section
$50. Each sale for 10 cents or less is
taxed cent and every sale for over
10 cents is taxed l cent for each 10
cents or fraction thereof of the price.
Consumption at place of business
The above section provides that the
tax shall be levied upon the sale of
"soft drinks, ice cream, ce-erean
sodas, sundaes, or other similar ar
ticles of food or drink, when = =

This provision is interpreted to mean
that when any of the specified articles

ness they are taxable. Ice cream sold
in cones is taxable. When ice cream
, or any similar article is sold under
conditions which indicate that it
usually would be consumed at or in
proximity to the premises the fact
that the purchaser does not 80 con-
sumo it but carries it away does not
render it free from tax. When ice
cream, soft drinks, or similar articles
of food or drink are sold to be carried
away for consumption at place not
in proximity to the place of business,
such ice cream, food, or drink being
placed in containers Of kind ordin-
arily used to SO convey the articles
indicated, they are not taxable.
