As a result of the effprts of the American Tobacco Company salesmen ! whose services were donated to the j War-Savings Committee, by the Amer lean Tobacco Company for the week 1 January 21 to 28, several humiWd sales stations were established am! War-Savings and Thrift Stamps to the I amount of $15,788.34 were sold. These, ' ales consisted of 36,248 Thrift ■ ! Stamps and 1.632 War-Savings Stamp. , Joseph M. Hirsch. chairman for the Perry county War-Savings comtnittci ' i believes not only in occupying an of-i flee, but in seeing to it that War-Snv , nigs Stamps are 501 d.,. Mr. Hirsch H , i personally sold about $2,000.00 wer.h l of War-Savings Stamps. He also, sold . $10,800.00 worth of the first issue of Liberty Bonds, and $48,500.00 worth ■cf the second Liberty Loan bonds. ! About 75 per cent of his sales ha-e ! been made to farmers. A faqji implement brokerage i i Kansas City has prepared a circular i for retail dealers in its territory, sug- ' nesting that they print enough copies .locally to distribute to their farmer ] customers. This circular emphasiz.e s i two war measures. First, the necessity for saving wheat and substituting i corn bread and oat meal; second, the need for careful housing of agricultural implements, overhauling for repair . and early attention to ordering new . implements for the 191 S crop year. In making out his income-tax return I the farmer is allowed to deduct the ■ compensation paid to men employee; i but a line is drawn as io the ccmpen isation of women employees. If a woman’s entire time is employed ii taking care of the milk and cream prepared for sale, in the production o: butter, cheese, etc., the care of milk : cans and churns, or if a separate table is maintained for farm laborers and her services are used entirely in th*' preparation of their meals caring for their rooms, the compensation paid her is a deductible item. If. however, she. is einpfoyed in caring for the farmer’s household, no deduction can Ibe claimed. Income-tax returns must , be filed with the collector of internal revenue in the district in which the taxpayer lives on or before Marell 1. | A New York hotel has for some time been featuring whale steaks on its menus, and finds that a considerable demand has been built up among paj trons, according to the Hotel Gazette. The meat is purchased frozen ami thawed as required. It is all mea.. ’ with no fat or bone, h iving a distiim flavor, not at all fishy, which may i.e ' overcome by dipping in hot soda water before cooking. It is somewhat tough, however, and the best results nr on- ' tained by cooking slowly a long time I with moist heat, low temperature, and ■liberal seasoning. Guests prefer this 'meat pan-broiled in the form of a I steak, and 55 cents is charged for a ' portion, one-third of a pound. Excellent soup stocks, stews, steaks and [curries may be made of whale meat at a cost of approximately one-third that [<4 beef. The present price of the; frozen meat is 15 cents a pound. Considerable interest now attaches (to the dry-air blast system of hardeni ing ice cream, in view of the need for|| conserving ammonia and energy in artificial refrigeration of all kindThis blast system, according to K. W. Schantz, in the Ice Cream Review, lias been pronounced a failure by many manufacturers who have tried it, hut is in successful operation where its nrineiples are clearly understood. The hardening of ice cream is said to lie the severest test to width refrigeration is put today, the object being to extract, a given number of heat unit ; from each gallon of ice cream in the .shortest possible time after it comes ( from the freezer, (.-hanging it from semi-solid to solid form. This was formerly dene by means of ice and ■salt, and with the coming of mechan-' ical refrigerators the cans were submerged in cold brine, and this in turn was replaced by storage in dry cold air. The dry-blast system Is an im ' prnvement in that the sold air is I blown around the cans by a power fan.
