SHOULD BE PUNISHED
litor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
Already voices of moderation are
being heard now that it looks like
the Axis powers may get what they
have coming to them. Usually, it
is best to avoid fighting, but as long
as person gets into a fight, it is
just as well to finish the job. After
all, there is no greater or more COM
mendable satisfaction than to see a
scoundreI get what is plainly coming
to him.
The German government officials
got so that they thought that they
could bomb other people with i'm
punity. Now that they are on the
receiving end they expect to be
shown sympathy. They know that
the communist DOGGY man is still
very much alive in this country:
they appeal to this element, hoping
in that way to get out of what they
rightfully have coming. Through
the communist DOGGY man Hitler was
permitted to rearm Germany, with
the idea in view of destroying Rus
STA. However, all this boomeranged
While Germany and Italy should
be defeated first, no one should think
that there are any intentions OF
neglecting Japan. Japan claims that
it is over-populated the same as
the Axis in Europe. Well, after
Japan gets what it has coming, il
probably won't be over-populated
They should be bombed until their
people crawl around like snakes
The Japs got away with bombing
innocent and defenseless people ano
finally they got so that they thought
they could bomb the white man.
also. Here they should be taught
that they made a sad mistake.
For everything in this world there
is remedy. What ails the Axis can
best be cured by bombing, the hang.

Federal Income Tax
Losses of Farmers.

Losses incurred in the operation
of farms as business enterprises are
deductible from gross income. If
farm products are held for favorable
markets, no deduction on account of
shrinkage in weight or physical value,
or by reason of deterioration in stor-
age, is allowed, except as such
shrinkage may be reflected in an
inventory if used in determining
profits.
The destruction by frost, storm.
flood or fire of a prospective crop
is not deductible loss in computing
income since it represents the loss
of anticipated profits which have
never been reported as income Like
wise, a farmer engaged in raising
and selling livestock, such as cattle,
sheep and hogs, is not entitled to
claim as loss the value of animals
that perish from among those ami
| mails that were raised on the farm.
except as such loss is reflected in an
inventory, if used. If livestock has
been purchased for any purpose, and
afterWard dies from disease, expo
| sure, or injury, or is killed by order
of the authorities of a state or the
United States, the actual purchase
price of such livestock, less any de-
in respect of such persisted livestock,
may be deducted as loss if the loss
is not compensated for by insurance
or otherwise. The actual cost of
other property with proper adjust
mentS for depreciation) which is de-
stroyed by order of State or Federal
authorities may likewise be claimed
as loss. If reimbursement is made
by state or the United States in
whole or in part on account of stock
! killed or other property destroyed
in respect of which loss was claimed
in prior year, the amount received
is required to be reported as income
for the year in which reimbursement
is made. The cost of any feed, pas
ture, or care which has been de-
Quoted as an expense of operation
must not be included as part of the
cost of the stock for the purpose of
ascertaining the amount of deduct
IDLE loss.
| If gross income is ascertained by
the use of inventories, no deduction
can be taken separately for livestock
or products lost during the year,
whether purchased for resale or pro-
duced on the farm, as such losses will
be reflected in the inventory by re-
ducing the amount of livestock or
products on hand at the close of the
year, which has the effect of reduc-
ing gross income from business by
the amount of the loss.
If an individual owns and operates
farm in addition to being engaged
in another trade or business or call
ing, and sustains a loss from the
| farming operations, such loss may be
deducted from gross income received
from all sources in determining the
tax payers net income, provided such
farm is not operated for recreation
or pleasure.
| If farm is operated for recrea-
ton or pleasure and not on a COM
mercial basis and if the expenses
incurred in connection Herewith are
in excess of the receipts therefrom.
the entire receipts from the sale of
products may be ignored in render
| ing a return of income and the ex-
penses incurred, being regarded as
personal expenses, will not constitute
allowable deductions for Federal in
come tax purposes A... .e r.

and slight difference in yield was
in favor of mechanical thinning.
Another important agricultural dis
covery made by a government en-
ploye which comes to mind at the
moment, was the Babcock test for
butterfat in milk, which has revolu-
tionized the dairy industry all over
the world. This discovery was made
by a University of Wisconsin pro-
fesSor.

to a more terrible extent than
ever before.

It must be considered a question
whether Hitler's war production can
keep up with the destruction wrought
from the air; it is not likely, for as
the commandments are becoming
more and frequent, the bombs them
selves are becoming larger and heav-
Ter all the time, and can do much
more damage than could those used
in the earlier days of the war.
African Front.
Generally speaking, then, things
are not looking SO very good for
Hitler in Europe. And in Tunisia
on the North African front there
isn't much to cheer him, either. 1t
is true that his clever general, ROM
mel, occasionally forces American
and British troops back a distance,
but it is also true that such retreats
invariably are followed by new adj
vances which cover more ground
than was deserted, in the first place
that is, the United Nations troops,
when they surge ahead, occupy a
larger territory than that from which
they were temporarily driven away.
The main detectives of the
American and British offensive
in Tunisia are the cities of TuIlis
and Bizerte; they have not yet
been captured, and It does seem
possible that some miscalcula-
tons as to the strength of the
Axis powers, have been made.
Even conceding that, it seems to
be taken for granted that the two
cities sooner or later will be taken
from the Nazis and the Fascists.
American Victory. .
There is, in North Africa, some
cooperation between the German and
the Italian forces, although there is
reason to believe that Mussolini car
ries the lighter end of the plank on
his shoulder. The japanese, of
course, are the allies of Hitler and
Mussolini, but there is no actual
collaboration between the Orientals
and the two European dictators. In
the long run, however, the japanese
luck of war-or lack of it's bound
to affect the European Axis, and it
must, therefore, be with serious mis-
givings that Berlin and Rome few
days ago read the dispatches about
Japanese convoy of twenty-five
ships having been literally and COM
pletely destroyed by American bomb
ers in the waters not far from New
Guinea.
Was that unique American vic
tory blueprint of war methods
to come? Perhaps, for it Is the
first time on record that bomb
ers-and b0mbers alOne-have
wiped out at one stroke large
number of naval and transport
vessels.
The significance of the clear-cut
American triumph lies in the prob
able fact that the japanese are ex-
treme1y unlikely to make any more
attempts to gain footholds in the
southwest Pacific.

Branching Out

Local 785 of the United Auto
Workers is contemplating the ex-

ing into the local, the workers in
several other plants in the city
who are doing similar work. This
is going to take a great deal of
organizational work, house con-

The officers of Local 785 are ask
ing for volunteer help from the
membership. Contact your Off
GERS, ask them which shops they
are interested in adding to Local

an employee of those plants, you
can be of real service to your
local union by contracting them
and asking them to join your
union.
The services that any local union
can render to its membership is
dependent upon the support that
is given to its elected officers by
that same membership. The off

Organizations
Drive at 755
IS Successful

The recently ended organiza-
tional drive at Delco Products
was a great success, according to
a statement released by the chair
man of the committee, Edward
Hoist. The fact that most of the
new members that were signed up
were women, is the GROWING
highlight of the drive. The prob
lem of getting the ladies at Delco
to take an active part in. the
local has always been of great
concern to both the organizational
committee and to the officers.
This recently completed drive has
gained the active support of more
than four hundred of the girls, and
from that standpoint alone is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the COM
mittee.
A one hundred dollar War Bond
was presented to Mildred Eding-
field Fink, of Department 81 as
her reward for signing up. the
largest number of women workers.
The shock division presentation
of a twenty-five dollar bond was
made to George Lawson. Harry
Meyers came in for his share,
another twenty-five dollar bond,
by signing the largest number of
members in the motor division,
and George c. Mathews collected
his twenty-five dollar bond for
the inspection division. In the
women's group, Martha Orr won
the nod for a bond of equal value,
and Robert Owens collected in
the strut division.
In congratulating all of the
members of the Committee, and
all of those who helped in the
drive, Ed Hollst is taking this OPP
p~ortunity to announce that a new
drive was ordered started by the
membership, and that said drive
has already started, the dates
being from November 1 of this
year, to continue to the last day
of February, 1914. All of the
winners in the last drive will re-
ceive notification from the local
as to the date that the War Bonds
from the last drive will be avail
able.
