Farmer ones is bright old skate,
ALFRED smart and up-to-date:
He thinks that fun will do no harm
SO this is how he runs his farm
He has jazz band playing tunes,
His yard is hung with gay festoons
OF many-colored 'lectric lamps;
A dozen blonde and brunette yamps
Work in his dairy every day
And every night come out to play.
His hay barn has a hardwood floor,
Around the walls o score or more
or tables are, where folks can buy
cider and a wedge pie
Each eve at dusk the lights are lit
And dancers soon begin to fit;
Some shake their heels till fou
O'Clock.
And then start in to feed the stock.
The labor problem does not fret
Our friend a particle you bet;
And though the neighbors make a vel
Odd Farmer Jones has lots OF help.

Steel Dividends,
Totaling Millions,
To Be Distributed
Oil and Gas Companies in
Pittsburgh District Also
Will Cut Melons Followinr
Supreme Court Decision
Special Dispatch to The rrsoans

PITTSBURGH, March 9,-Stee, cor,.
panies and other industrial concerns
in the Pittsburgh district, besides oil
and gas companies, will distribute mil.
lions of dollars in stock dividends fol.
lowing yesterdays decision Of the
United States Supreme Court exempt
ing these dividends from the income
tax.
Among large steel concerns known
to be planning distributions are the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company
Brier Hill Steel Company, Truscon
Steel Company and Trumbull Steel
Company. 1t is expected the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company, which
has an outstanding capital of less than
$50 100000, will authorize at least 4OO
per cent stock dividend. The holders
of Arkansas Natural Gas stocks also
are expected to participate in big
melon cutting.
The Arkansas company has $40 900 00C
of its capital stock left in the treasury
as only $4,000 900 was issued to the
public following the recent increase in
capital stock. With the Supreme Court
decision and the tremendous earning
power of the concern, estimated at
more than $1,000 900 month, stock
distribution is regarded as certain.
Pittsburgh companies, besides the
Arkansas Natural Gas Company, which
according to to-day's reports, will de-
clare stock dividends now that such
disbursements are not taxable as tc
principal, include the Oklahoma Natural
/ Gas, Lone Star Gas, Ohio Fuel Supply
and Pittsburgh Plate Glass.

From The Tri5une's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Daniel c.
Roper. Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, to-day issued a letter of irstruc-
lions to district revenue collectors out
lining the procedure to be followed by
taxpayers in claiming credit for taxes
aid on stock dividends, which are re-
sundabie under yesterdays decision of
he Supreme Court that stock divi-
lends are not taxable. Commissioner
RoPer's letter said:
The Supreme Court handed down
on Monday q decision in the case of
Eisner VS.. Macomber, which in sub
stance is as follows:
"A true stock dividend made law
fully and in good faith by corpora
tion, either against profits invested in
lands, buildings, equipment or working
assets Of q corporation, or against ac-
cumulated and undivided profits, is not
--Xable as income to the S,.-x..lc q er
recipient, it being held that to tax
such stock dividends would be to tax
property without apportionment in
violation OF the provisions of Article
|. Section 2, Clause 3. and Article /.
Section 9, Clause 4 Of the Constitution,
notwithstanding the Sixteenth Amend
ment, there being no realization Of

Hundreds Start Rush
Here for Return, of
Stock Diuidend Tux

William H. Edwards, Collector Of
Internal Revenue for this district,
whose office, yesterday was beseiged
by hundreds of persons affected by the
stock dividend decision of the United
States Supreme Court, said that the
amount of money to be refunded by
the government for this district alone
would run high into the millions.
Under the decision as rendered."
said Mr. Edwards, "there is no doubt
that all stock dividends declared as
income under the revenue act Of 1916
are subject to claim for refund. Al
though no official information has
been received from Washington, it is
my opinion that claims for refund can
DC filed at once covering all stock
dividends declared as income in 1916.
dends in The form of stock instead of
cash issued by the corporation to the
stockholder."
The decision will materially reduce
the receipts of the office for the tax
year Of 1919, Mr.. Edwards said, but it
is impossible Tor him to approximate
the figures at this time. He said he
did not anticipate there wcu.A A~-sA&~
extension Of time to persons who have
figured out their returns on the basis
Of stock dividends as income, but have
not as yet paid the tax. "In view of
the new decision they will be glad
enough to make another computation
which viii save them money" he de-
clared, land will probably work all
night to do so. think there is little
likelihood that any time extension will
be neces sary."
