OWNER OF OLD
FEDERAL HILL IS De.
LIGHTED At SALE
Mrs. Frost Had Always Hoped the
Property Would Never Pass Outside
the Family Except to the State.

Mrs. Madge Rowan Frost, now own
er of Federal Hill and granddaughter
OF It's builder, expressed herself the
other day as delighted with the pros
pect Of the "Old Kentucky Home" be-
coming the property Of the state. She
has always, she said, dreaded to think
Of time when the fine old place
should pass into the hands Of someone
outside Of the family. With the deter
mination of the commission to succeed
in its campaign for the purchase OF
the property such fate will be for
ever spared to the big, old house that
will henceforth typify Kentucky hos
pitality.
j. Barbour Russell is making sure
that Maysville will do its allotted part
In raising the necessary fund to OBJ
tain Federal Hill. Local ministers are
preparing to endorse the campaign in
their pulpits on Sunday, the school
children, women's organizations, the
moving picture theaters, and other
groups and organizations have been
interested. The Kentucky Home"
spirit has been aroused and every in
dication points to a successful cam
paign, not only here, but everywhere
in the state.
In eastern towns historic old man
sions like Federal Hill have been ac-
quired by civic or other associations
and restored to their originay condi-
ton and furnished in their own peri
DDS, are points of interest to all Wis
itors. Mount Vernon is only one Of
these famous places. When the cam
paign now on is over, Kentucky will
have one such famous show place for
all time.

INCOME TAX FACTS
IA YOU SHOULD KNOW

! Numerous errors in claims for re-
auctions have been discovered in tax.
payers returns.
To be allowed, deductions for losses
| must be confined to the following
classes Losses sustained in trade OF
business; losses sustained in transac-
ton entered into for profit, though
not connected with trade or bust
ness; losses sustained of property not
connected with trade or business, if
arising from fires, shipwrecks, storms
or other casualty or from theft To
the extent any Of the above losses are
compensated for by insurance they
are not deductible.
To be allowed as deduction in the
return for 1920 loss must have been
actually sustained during the year.
A taxpayer may feel certain that real
estate owned by him is worth less
than what he paid for it. A merchant
may be convinced that certain stock
can not be sold unless marked below
cost. In neither event however. is he
entitled to claim for deduction until
the loss is made absolute by sale or
other disposition OF the property.
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute
A loss sustained i'll the sale of all au-
tomobile purchased for personal use
is not deductible, because it is not a
transaction entered into for profit
A loss sustained by a taxpayer in the
sale OF his home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when man
buys residence and moves into ii
he has no intention OF selling and has
not entered into transaction for
profit"
