MARKETS

conn prices drop ON CHICAGO MART

CHICAGO, Fb. 11. Decidedly en

larged rtoetpti gave the corn market

today a down turn. Bright warm weather tended alio to favor the bears. In addition, peace gossip was again attracting attention. Opening prices, which ranged from a shade to 1-8 to l-4c lower with March $1.27 and May $1.34 7-8 to $1.25, were followed by a moderate set back all around. Oats, like corn, showed weakness owing to a material Increase of arrivals and to a prospect that the movement would continue to be of such more liberal values than has of late been the rule. After opening 1-8 to 1-4 to 5-8 to 3-4 off. with May 79 1-8 to 79 1-2, the market underwent a further sag. Big receipts of hogs led to a sharp break in provisions. Trade, however, was not heavy.

ORE THAN $400 IS CONTRIBUTED TO Y, MXA.F UNO "Allied Army" to Begin Campaign for t $8,000 Wednes: day Morning. The Richmond T. M. C. A. wants $8,000 in its budget for the year 1918. With this end In view workers who bsve been organized in an "allied army" will sally forth Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. All workers must be at the T. M, C. A. at 9:30 o'clock according to commander-in-chief Romey; The territory was districted and general plans outlined Monday afternoon at a meeting of Adjutant General Haas, Commander-in-chief Romey, Lieutenant-General Fred J. Bartel, Generals Karry Doan, E. M. Campfield, John H. Johnson and Charles Thomason. Monday morning several check3 for $200 each were received by Commander-in-chief Komey. Eight hundred letters were sent out to prospective contributors by the corps of workers. Letter Read In Churches. The following letter was read in the Richmond churches Sunday: "More" than half a hundred of very busy men have agreed to leave their dally tasks for three days to wage a campaign to make up the annual expense budget for the local Y. M. C. A. These men will have no apologies to make for soliciting our citizens to secure the necessary funds to keep all departments of this institution in full operation, for if ever there was a time when the very best influences should be exercised to shape the future young manhood of America this is the time. 1 "It Is unnecessary to say that the Y. M. C. A. is vitally connected with war activities. The government readily recognized the character and efficiency of this Institution and at once made use of this great organization, which was all ready for the emergency, and pressed it into service. At this late date it is not necessary to explain to an intelligent citizen the wonderful service the Y. M. C. A. has performed for the American soldier. The very best men among the general officers, a3 well as the best secretaries all over the country, have been transferred to the war service and it has been a struggle to properly man the institutions at home. In order to maintain the home association under the high cost of all necessities, it has been nec-1

essary to double the duty of those who were left at the task and to economize in many ways. "When we look at the prospect be

fore us we cannot help but see the great need for the local Y. M. C. A. The next call for men will take from

among us all the able-bodied, unmar

ried young men. When these go forth to war we may be sure that many will never return and many will come back incapable of doing efficient service. Is it not encumbent upon us therefore to see to it that the young boys under age will receive the very best of training, physical, spiritual, and mental, to fit them for the duties of citizenship? It is to this task that the Y. M. C. A. is dedicated. Can you refuse to help? Bo prepared when the committee calls on you this week to accept your part of this responsibility." Respectfully, W. H.

Questions and Answers to Your Income Tax Problems

What is the income tax fn dollars on a married man's net income of $2,000? Also on $2,500? In case there are no children under IS years on what amount does the 4 apply? On net income of $2,000 a married man living with wife would have no tax to pay as this is the amount of his exemption. If net income was 2,500 the tax would be $10 ,(2 percent on $500). In other words be pays on the amount of his net income in excess of his exemption ($2,000.) In regard to when the 4 percent applies, for example wijl assume this married man's net income was $5,000, on $2,000 of this he would pay 2 percent and on the balance of his net income ($1,000) be would pay 4 percent which would make his total tax $80 on a $5,000 net Income. I have two children who live at home and are regularly employed. One Is 17 years old; the other, 21 years old. Am I required to include the amount of income which accrues to each during a calendar year in my personal return? As the first child has not reached its majority and is still legally under your control, the amount of its income is to be included in your personal return and is subject to tax in your hands. The income of the child which has attained its majority is not to be included in your return and is only subject to tax n the hands of that child. Must I Include in my personal return the amount of interest I receive on Liberty Loan bonds, or is that interest exempt from tax? All interest derived from the Liberty Loan 3 percent bonds issued under the act of April 24, 1917, is exempt from both the normal and the additional income tax. Interest derived from the Liberty Loan 4 percent bonds issued under the act of September 24, 1917. is exempt from the normal income tax; but so

much of the Interest as is derived from such bonds, the principal of Which exceeds $5,000, is subject to the additional income tax; that is, if you hold $S,000 of Liberty Loan 4 percent bonds the interest from $5,000, or $200, is exempt from tax, and the balance, of the interest, or $120, Is subject to the additional tax, I held an endowment life insurance policy upon which I paid premiums for 20 years. In 1917 that contract matured and I received its face value, or $1,000. Must I return the entire amount received? No. Return only the difference between the aggregate amount of preni-

t iums paid and the amount received

upon maturity of the contract. Are commissions on renewal premiums on insurance policies subject to Income tax? Yes; such commissions received by Insurance agents on account of business written are taxable income for the year in which received. "A," who is an employe of a corp

oration, was injured and under the laws of the state in which the accident occured he received $5,000 on account of the injury he suffered. Must the amount thus received be reported as Income? Yes. Any amount received under an employers' liability act or a workman's compensation act, or any other similar act, or as the result of a settlement or compromise for "pain and suffering," it is held to be such income as is subject to "the Federal income tax. The ruling is also applicable to any amount received under the terms of an accident insurance policy. I purchased a 6 percent $100 coupon bond at its face value, plus $1.50; that is, three months' accrued interest. Three months later I detached a coupon therefrom and collected $3 interest. Must the entire amount of interest received be returned as income? No. Report only so much interest as accrued after the date of your purchase. It is the seller's duty to report the balance.

ed by the council of workmen's ana

soiaiers- aeiegates, as well as by the representatives of the four allied states, and also by the French republic and the British government which

I nave appointed and sent diplomatic i representatives to the government of

tne LKrainian people s republic. Information which is apparently authoritative has been received in Stockholm, according to the Times, correspordent there, that the peace terms agreed to by the central powers with Ukraine provide for granting to Ukrania a considerable part of eastern Galicia, whether in reversion or immediate possession is not clear. The rada also is to receive immediately a large loan to be secured by mineral lands for the development of which full facilities are to be granted to the central powers.

The housing question is being rapidly cleared up. All that Is needed is to obtain the necessary efficient labor. It should be brought home to employers and to the employes of the industries of the nation that their own future depends on the construction of these ships. The fact is that the recent order issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield, closing the factories of the whole country, and the more recent freight embargo Issued by Secretary McAdoo, tying up all the freight with the exception of food and fuel, came not because of a falling down on the part of the carriers themselves, but because of the lack of ships. ' The

reason for this is plain. The speeding up of the Amerkvin factories piled in the Eastern seaports, and packed into every railway siding outside of the seaboard cities, thousands of loaded cars of materials for the war zone. The result was that even the coal required for the ships in harbor could not get through, and even the few ships which we now possess were held in harbor by empty bunkers and could not sail. Until we have ships to clear the Atlantic ports of manufactured goods, for which our Army in France and our Allies are in need, these enforced holidays and embargoes must recur, with the result that no factory in America fan be assured of running full time and

no workman can count on continuous employment. If you can drive this home to your people; if this lesson, through constant repetition, can be thoroughly learned; there, is no doubt that you will get your quota of the necessary men. It Is not mere numbers that count it is the efficiency of the men enrolled. It is as much to the interest of the manufacturer to send his best men to the shipyards as it. is to the interest of the man himself to go. If the use of my name will in any way help you In your work, you have the authority to use it, quoting from this statement, to the end that the people from your district may realize once and for all that on labor depends the construction of the needed ships, and on these ships depend not only the war itself, but the present industrial life of the nation. Yours respectfully, EDWARD X. HURLEY, Chairman of the Board. EXH-D.M.R.
