power plants of the country Assistant Secretary OF
War Davis has just announced that survey of power
plants has been undertaken by the government with
view to essening the danger of shortage in any

The movement assumes particular Importance at
this time in view of the Souths absorbed interest in

upon coal source of power we'll as fuel.
The last decades have witnessed tremendous
strides in the matter of transportation, communica-

"I beg your pardon!
"Eh? What's that2' exclaimed

Uncle Wiggily twisted his two

"This is very strange!" he cried.
"I hear voice, but see no one.
I hope the Fuzzy Fox isn't playing
any tricks on me. " .
"No, there isn't any Fox here, -
said the laughing voice. "And l

so the rabbit gentleman put OH
his strongest glasses and looked and
what do you suppose he saw? Well,
of course, you have guessed it by

"Oh, good morning, Lady Bug!'

New Ruling In
Regard to Tax
on Mini S t ers

A recent revenue ruling, received
in the office of Collector of In
ternal Revenue Rex b. Goodcell,
clarifies a much-discussed question
with reference to the income of
ministers of the gospel.
The ruling clearly states that
where church provides its minis
ter of the gospel with yearly al
lowance, in addition to his salary,
in lieu of a parsonage, that amount
is subject to tax as additional com
pensation for services rendered. No
deduction from the amount may be
claimed for the cost of parson'
age, but expenses attributable to
that portion of the parsonage which
is devoted to professional use may
be claimed as deduction.
Where church presents outright
parsonage and furnishings TO a
minister of the gospel it comes
within the provision Of gifts, and
need not be included in gross in
come.
