l wish that tho American people
would remember that / hired Jimmy
De Forest to work for me and that
the arrangement was for one fight
at a time. 1 would call him before
a fight, tell him how much / was
willing to pay for his services and he
would accept. After the fight in
question our relations were severed
until / called him again.
L was not satisfied with the work
lie did for me while l was train
ing for willard l have not said
this publicly before because, while
| was disappointed with the work he
did for me-. liked him, considering
him my friend, and so did not wish
TO do him harm. Bpt now since he
goes about saying bad things of me
must tell the truth.
De Forest often Shifted PIans.
My plan of battle for the Willard
fight was my own. De Forest did
not have any definite plan of battle
for me. One day he would say one
thing and another day another
thing. As late as the day before the
fight he thought of a plan that he
wanted me to practice and try out
OF course. I paid no attention to it,
When man has something he wishes
TO teach me I am glad to listen, bat
l make my own decision as to
whether l accept the teaching.
1t may be of interest to Jimmy
De Forest when he learns that
never meant that he should train me
for the Dempsey fight. No. From
the first time ] began to think that
some day might have a match with
Dempsey / determined that when
trained for that match I would do
1t my own way, surrounded by my
own people.
De Forest says in the article that was
iS nirN1i iYa
IN my camp. | would very much like
to know how De Forest found this
out. Perhaps he spoke with some ma
tive who lives in the neighborhood in
which my cottage is located. Certain
ly he did not find out anything about
il by using his own eyes. He not only
did not come to see me at the cottage,
he did not even come to my dressing
room to shake hands with me. How
can he know anything of what goes
on in my cap1p *hen he sees nothing
of it?
One afternoon early he came to the
park where / spar and watched me
work He did not speak to me
think that. he did not speak To any
one in my camp. He only sat in the
grandstand and watched me spar for
six rounds. Before he saw me a all he
said some bad things about me to some
newspaper men. After he saw me he
said more bad things. Then The went
away. 1t would seem that he came to
Atlantic City not to really find out
my condition, but say bad things
of me.
For example he says that I. have

A PROFITABLE EVE

Bearing out his contention that
sheep if properly handled and cared
for are among the most profitable ad-
juncts of any farm, B.. E. Carmichael,
livestock specialist for the University
of Maryland Extension Service, has
discovered on the farm of r. M. Swan,
near Leonardtown in ST. Mary's
county, what is thought to be, one of
the greatest money making sheep in
Maryland.
In January of this year this eve
became the mother of triplet lambs
which should be ready for market ear
.ly enough in the season to bring bet
ter than average prices. Previous to
this, the eve had two sets of twin
lambs, the first set about December1, !,
1921, and the second about May 15,
1922. This gives her record of sew
en- lambs in a period of IA months.
The first set of lambs was raised
and sold for $24 and the second set
for SIS. In the meantime the eve
was clipped and her wool sold for SO
so that her financial record to date
shows that her owner has received a
gross return of SAL from this sheep
within Ia months and still has three
lambs and another crop of wool to be
sold this year. II

INCOME TAX FACTS NO. 3

The revenue act of 1921 provides
that an income tax return shall be fill
ed by every person, married or single,
whose gross income for the year 1922
was $4,000 or more. Broadly speak
ing, gross income is income received
by the taxpayer during the year from
salary or wages, or from business,
trade, profession or vocation, dealing
in property, or the transaction of any
business carried on for profit. Net in
come, upon which the tax is assessed,
is gross income less certain specified
deductions for business expenses, loss
es, bad debts, taxes, contributions, etc.
Among the most important items in
the returns of many taxpayers are the
deductions for business expenses. In
the case of storekeeper, they include
a remarkable allowance for salaries
paid employees, amounts spent for ad-
vertising, premiums for insurance
against fire or other business losses,
the cost of water, light, heat and fuel
used in his place of business, drayage
and freight bills.
A professional man, doctor or law
yer, may claim as deductions the cost
of supplies used in the practice of his
profession, expenses paid in the oper-
alton and repair of an automobile
used in making professional calls, dues
to professional societies, subscriptions
to professional journals, Office rent,
and the cost of fuel, light, heat and
water used in his Office, and the hire
Of assistants.

1922 was $1O4,7OO, 900, according to
statement given out March 1, by
John S. Dennee, crop statistician at
Baltimore for the United States De
partment of Agriculture, co-operat-
ing with the Extension Service of the
University of Maryland. This sum
represents gain of $14,900, 900 over
the value of all farm products pro-
duced during 1921 but is short of 1919

and of 1920 by $42,O00,00O.
Of the 1922 gross value the total
for crops is placed at $6S,000,00 and
the total for animals raised and for
animal products is placed at $36,000,-
900. It should be borne in mind that
the total value of animals raised and
animal products duplicates crop val
ues to a degree not ascertainable.

HAVE YOU A VICTORY NOTE

Secretary Mellon has called atten-
ton to the fact that-there are still
outstanding called Victory Notes to
the amount of nearly 100000 900.
These notes bear the distinguishing
letters A, B, C, D, E, or F prefxed to
their serial numbers, and were all call
ed for redemption on December Is,
1922.
The widest publicity has been given
to this call for redemption, but appar-
emily many holders of Victory Notes
have not taken occasion to look up
their notes, and have failed to pre-
sent them for redemption. Interest
on the called notes stopped absolutely
on December Is, 1922, so that on any
such notes still outstanding, there has
already been almost three months loss
of interest.
In order to avoid further loss of
interest, holders of Victory Notes are
urged once again to examine their
holdings and to present promptly any
notes that have been called for re
demption. The Treasury is also pre-
pared until further notice to redeem
before maturity, at par and accrued
interest to the date of optional re-
demption, any of the uncalled Victory
Notes which become payable accord
ing to their terms on May 20, 1923.
Holders of uncalled Victory Notes who
desire to redeem them before matur-
ity may accordingly present them to
any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch
for redemption on these terms.
