Calendar.
Took my brand-new calendar and hung
1t on the wall.
Days are standing all In line to heed the
annual call;
Days of confidence secure and days of
wistfulness,
Days of lights and laughter-and few
of loneliness.
It will show anew some hero of adventure
great,
Who may fade from view, as other heroes
bravely wait.
As upon the calendar for something
strange l call,
1t only tells an old, familiar story, after
all.

there will be young man who, through

lacking. The objective of imitation is
to create activity and to bring about
gradual increase In prices so that the

seem SO ourdensome. Imitation is pleasant

trois and wage and hour controls But
this time the national debt already is
nuge and prices are very much higher
than they were in March, 1893. This
means that any new imitation, to be ef-
1ectlve. would need to be much greater
than the first imitation that now has
worn OF and turned to deflation.
But then there Is the third course
This Is the course that calls for use of
governmental machinery to set up con-
trolls over industrial pricing policies at
key points, combined with q measure of
inflationary Government spending. The
recovery program Of recent years broke
down when some parts of industry and
some portions Of labor skyrocketed prices
Just Ut the time when the Government
tried to shift the spending load from
It's own shoulders to the shoulders OF
private business The result was shock

Just one year ago this morning, it is, since the fire of February g, 1937 occurred and which destroyed practically all of the business sec ton of Douglas, and many resi- dences, total of 52 or 5 build ings, leaving many people without a roof over their heads. Ones memory alone cannot impress with the tragedy of the period during and after that catastrophe; nor of the feeling the residents had as they stood before the ruins of their homes or walked up and down the debris s-scattered streets.
 But today, a year afterwards, the town and many of her residents are better off, more comfortably located, and only the gradually dimming memory of the fateful morning is left to remind us of it..

YOUR INCOME
 TAX
DEDUCTION FOR DEPRECIATION

The revenue act provides for "a reasonable allowance for the ex- hausticn, wear and tear of proper ty used in the trade or business, in cluding a reasonable allowance for obsolescence. For convenience, such allowance usually is referred to as depreciation.
 In claiming deduction for depre- citation several fundamental princi- pies must be observed. The deduc- ton must be confined to property actually used in trade, business, andIor profession, and to improve ments on real property, other than property used by the taxpayer as his personal residence
 In general, it applies to the tax payers capital buildings, machinery, etc.-the cost of which cannot be deducted as a business expense.
 A lawyer, doctor, or other pro- fessional man may not charge off as current expense the cost of a library used wholly in his profess sion, this being a capital expendi- lure and the library capital asset; but he may deduct an allowance for depreciation based upon the use ful life of the library.
 If part of professional mans residence is used by him for office purposes, a proportionate amount of the depreciation sustained may be deducted, based generally on the ratio of the number of rooms used for such purposes to the total num- Der of rooms in the building
 The same principle applies if a taxpayer rents to others a portion of his residence. Under such con- ditions, however, the taxpayer must include in his gross income the ren- tals received.
