The auto and motor truck has taken It's

equipment. Its cost is not an expense

tor farm purposes and not for pleasure. In
such cases, q reasonable deduction for
wear and tear il allowed.
Every farmer will wnnt to know right
here, how he will treat loss caused by a
storm in which his crop or par Of same is
ruined. The answer to this is that unless
the crop reaches it's maturity and is har.
vested and sold. its value never reached
gross income, and therefore an arbitrary
deduction for the loss cannot be allowed.
The cost of planting, fertiizing and cnl-
tivating that crop is allowed in regular
order, but the loss Of growing crop simply
means that the farmer has so much less
gross income to report and therefore, viii
pay reduced tax, II any tax at all.
The same is true in the case Of the loss OF
animals which were raised on the farm.
A farmer who sustained n loss TO ms
buildings through fire, lightning. or storm,
may claim loss figured out by income
tax regulations.
Shrinkage in weight or value Of farm
products held for favorable market prices
NAV not be deducted as loes, for the
reason that when such products are sold,
the shrinkage will be reflected III the selling
price.
The value of agricultural lands has
been jumping during the past few years,
and during 1910 many owners sold out
part or all Of their lands at big profits. 1t
must be borne in mind that all such gains
constitute income, and must be taken into
consideration in arriving ut new income
for the year.
Where the entire farm or the entire land
Is sold the gain Is represented IN the
difference between the cost and sale price,
but if the farm or land was owned prior
to March /, 1918, the fair market value as

cost, and II acquired by bequest or descent

As TO buildings, fences, aud other inn
provements on the land and adjustment
must be made for any depreciation, and If
sand, clay or other valuable part of the
land has been sold during ownership an
adjustment in the way of depletion must
be made.
Where part of the farm or ranch, or
part of the parcel Of land or any other
property, was sold, the same principle is
applied, except that in figuring the cost or
the beuuest, value or the value as OF

London, March 1-Peeresses who at

this month wore dresses with low necks,
but without feathers and wells" This
was by order of the Lord Chamberlain who
has charge of all state functions.
1t is understood that this new rule was
due to Queen Mary's determination that
in future the dress for women attending
state functions should be of simpler
character than heretofore Formerly, the
gorgeous dresses of women at these
functions drew crowds of sightseers and

SENATOR SMITH IS

In retiring from his position as commissioner of internal revenue, Daniel c. Roper has written the fol- lowing letter to United States Sena- tor Marcus A. Smith of Arizona ex- pressing his sincere appreciatin if the senator during his three years in the treasury department as commission CT.
 Hon. Marcus A. Smith,
 United States Senate.
 My Dear Senator:
 It would be ungrareful yof me if were to retire from the position of Commissioner of Internal Revenue without expressing to you my genu inc appreciation of your confidence and support which has been such a strong stimulus to me during these last three trying years. Without them the dilemmas that have confronte, me from time to time would have rendered me incapable if discharging the responsibilities with which I have been entrusted. With them any man of serious purpose and patriotic vii lingness could have done at least as much as I have done so whatever the measure of our success is it is a. attributable to the spirit of coopera tion and confidence that has manifest ed itself on all sides and in a most inn portant and substantial way among | the members of both Houses of Con- gross. -% T. te, -.r,-'
 In leaving the service, may I not earnestly ask for my successor what it has been my high privilege to en joy your confidence and support. With kind personal regards, am, l Cordially yours, DanielC. Roper

SHIRlcAHUA CATTLE COMPANY
 RECLAIM'S BIG TRACT OF RANGE

CATTLE COMPANY REcLAIM'S BIG TRACT OF RANGE
 Douglas, May 16.-The Chiricahua Cattle company, which is the largest COW outfit in the state, has just com pleted one of the finest pieces of prair- ie dog extermination which has ever been accomplished in the United States. The area treated was one of the, oldest established prairie dog towns in Coihise county and covered an area 1s miles long and 4 miles wide, or 30,720 acres.
 The work was planned by Henry Boice, Jr., president of the company and b. A. Filchrist, who represents the United States Geological Survey and the agricultural extension serv ice of the University of Arizona in the state wide rodent campaign. Rodent Leaders Issac Rogers and B. F. Frlb ley, supervised the field work in con junction with Foreman Ike Dedman oi the Chiricahuas. MT. Dedman and many other stockmen who are famil jar with the area estimate that there were at least a million prairie dogs on the area before the work started.
 A crew of six to twelve men dis tributed the poisoned grain from Feb ruary 26 to April 2z, on which day tho last dog was killed. Practically all O. the prairie dogs were killed with the poisoned grain, but the few who refus ed it were located and eXterminatet with carbon bisulphide gas.

YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States Government bor- rowed money from you to finance the War. You hold the Governments promise to pay you back This pro- mise is called Liberty Bond or Vic tory Note. On this Bond is stated the conditions under which the Govern ment borrowed the money from youe
 For instance: If you hold a Bond of the Third Liberty Loan, it states that on April 18th and October 18th. of each year until maturity, you will receive interest on the amount you paid for tn Bond. Other issues bear other rates of interest and other ma turity dates, all of which are clearly stated on the Bond.
 Now, if you keep your Bond until the date when the Government pays you in full for it, you need not to worry if, in the meantime, the price is low one day or high the next. You and Uncle Sam are living up to your agreement with each other, and nei- ther will lose by it.
 On the other hand, if you sell your Liberty bond now, you will find that the men you sell it to will not give you a dollar for every dollar you paid for it. The price has been brought down because so many peo- pie are offering to sell their Bonds. If the market is flooded with toma- toes, you can buy them cheap, but if everyone is clamornig for tomatoes and there are few to be had, the price goes up. The same is true of Liber- ty Bonds. Short-sighted pedple are dumping them on the market, and wise ones are buying them.
 The best advice that can be given to the owner of Liberty Bond is this: Hold the bond you bought dur ing the war; it is as safe and sound as the United States Government it. self.
 Buy as many more at the present low rate as you Acan afford. If you hold them to maturity, you are bound f! to make the difference between what | they sell at now and their face value. You will also receive good interest on your investment.
 Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and buy more.

DECISION AFFECTS
 FOREST REVENUES

Under decision by Judge Meter, rendered in the United States district court at Seattle, funds received by states from national forest revenues must be equally apportioned between the school and road funds. These funds are distributed among the coun- ties in proportionto their forest reserve acreage and heretofore they have been used for either road or school pur- poses at the option of the supervisors. The decision further sets forth how the recovery may be had where the funds has been improperly distributed.
 The forest reserve fund for the fiscal year ending June 31, 1919, was divid- ed among the counties of the state as follows, Yuma having no forest re- serve and therefore not participating:
