U.S. OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS URGED BY DILL, AT MEET Government ownership of the country's railroads la one of the sanest business propositions ever brought up in the United States, said C. C. Dill, ex-congressman from Washington, in an address to a big mass meeting of citizens in the coliseum Tuesday night The government has been making profits on the railroads ever since taking them over as a war measure, asserts Dill. "We are not running the railroads

to make money.' he said. "We were running them to win the war." The statements made that the country is out approximately 12,000,000,000 are true, Dil said. He then said that the basis alowed the railroads as profits, which they would have made if they had been handling the roads, amounted to about $1,000,000,000 annually. However this condition tv 'inr

exists, he said. Since last July, ac-. cording to figures preseuieu ' J speaker $1,000,000,000 has been paid

and the government has been making! from $200,000,000 to $700,000,000 profits a month, with the exception of the months in which the coal strike was effective. He believes that the government should be given a chance to operate the railroads under normal conditions, as they have been handicapped during their present ownership, he said. Believes in H. C. L. Solution Dill also claimed that this plan of railroad ownership by the government was a solution of the high cost of living problem. He said that the railroads were not only the biggest, but the most -basic industry in the country, as all industries large or small, were dependent upon the railroad's continuation for transportation facilities. "The industries pay freight rate," said the speaker, 'which vitally affect the high cost of living, as prices are governed by the cost of production plus the freight rate and the profit of both." "When the railroads collect four to five billions of dollars the people pay 20 billions and if the roads raise the freight rates 25 per cent, as they have previously' statey they will do if the roads are returned to private ownership, this will add an average of $40 per annum for every person iu the United States" He a!no brought out that an industry public in its origin, public in its power and publidn its service, as the railroads are should, be in its ownership To Stop Profiteering As long as it is private in its ownership, someone is going to profiteer out of it, and the only way to stop freight profiteering is to take the railroads away from private ownership," concluded Dill in his argument on the high cost of living and the railroads The rest of his address was confined to minor points of interest on this topic.

HOOSIER DIES IN WEST. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 4. James N. Casady, formerly of Connersville, Ind., who came to Nebraska when Omaha was but an Indian village, and who saw the entire development of the trans-Missouri country, died last week at his home in Council Bluffs. Although 80 years old and a resident of Omaha and Council Bluffs for nearly 70 years, Mr. Casady always referred to Connersville as "back home." Casady entered the real estate business in Council Bluffs before he was 16 years old, and continued in that business until his death.

DEDUCTION ALLOWED IN INCOME SCHEDULES

"What constitutes an Item allowable as a deduction on a business expense? This question Is frequently asked by income filers, and in answer thereto it may be generally stated that allowable deductions comprise all amounts of expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in the conduct of a business, trade or profession. For example, a merchant may claim as deductions the amounts paid for advertising, hire of clerks and other employees; the cost of the light, fuel water, telephone, etc., used in or at his place of business; drayage and freight bills; the cost of operating delivery wagons, trucks, and the repairs to same. By the same rule a farmer would be allowed to deduct the ' amounts paid for labor in preparing his land for a crop and the cultivation, harvesting and marketing, etc., and a professional man would be allowed to deduct amounts spent in the conduct of office. The principals underlaying these examples are equally applicable in the case of any one engaged in a business, trade or profession. Investments of Capital On the other hand, the amounts paid

for tools, implements, vehicles, ma

chinery, or surgical instruments which

are more or less permanent in charac

ter, the cost of medical, law, or other

professional books, amounts expended

in making permanent improvements or

betterments of any kind whatsoever,

are not allowed as deductions. Such items are held to be investments of capital upon which depriciation may be claimed. Items of personal expenses or items connected in any way with the support maintainance and wel-being of a family are not allowed. No expense or depreciation in connection with a taxpayer's personal residence, or automobile or other property used for pleasure can be properly deducted under the provisions of the income tax law as such expenses and depriciation are held to represent "personal, living or family expenses."

Mr. Charles Grewe Tells How Cuticura Healed Pimples

"I had pimples and itching enough to set one crazy. My face, neck,

arms and back were covered with pimples and they later became an entire scale so that I looked horrible. I was ashamed of myself. Many nights I did not sleep, and I soon became nervous. The pimples were

hard and red, and were very large, and I scratched the parts affected. "I saw an advertisement about Cuticura Soap and Ointment so I sen! for a free sample. I bought more, and I used four cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment which healed me." (Signed) Charles Grewe, 215 South 5th St., Steubenville, Ohio, Mar. 27, 1919.

How to Have a Gear Skin Having cleared your skin keep it clear by using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for every-day toilet purposes and Cuticura Talcum to powder and perfume. Bathe with Cuticura Soap and hot water, using plenty of soap, best applied with the hands which it softens wonderfully. If signs of pimples, redness or roughness are present touch lightly with Cuticura Ointment before bathing to soothe and heal. JSVCuticura Soap ibtTM without mug.

Advice on Sowing Barley and Oats Is Tendered The loss of the wheat crop by the fly on many farms has caused farmers to consider sowing wheat fields to oats and barley, according to Wayne county experts, who say care should be taken in selecting seed. Experiments show wide variation in the yield of different varieties of oats and barley. . The Increase in yield to be obtained from the use of the best seed is the easiest money that a farmer makes. The increased cost of good seed is made up many times by the increase in yield. Another factor to be considered in the selection of seed is germination. Disappointing stands are frequently due to low germination. A germination test is easily made by placing a few grains of the seed to be tested between pieces of cloth or blooting paper on a plate and turning another

plate over the blotter. If the seeds are kept moist and warm for ten days, the test can be read. If this simple test is made on all seeds sown this spring, many farmers will be saved unpleasant embarrassment. Two samples of oats, intended for seed, both tested less than 25 per cent germination.

"NoRheumatics'is a Mighty Poor Reason forWearingaWoodenLeg NO sting or hot burnin' is a mighty weak-kneed recommendation for tobacco. But when tobacco is mild and cool, and yet as full of "fun" as a barrel of monkeys well, that's another story that's Velvet And 'cause why? 'Cause Velvet is brought up not jerked up by the hair. It's raised as carefully as a favorite child. It's cured in the big fresh air. And it mellows away for two years in wooden hogsheads 'til it's smooth and rich as cream. The wonder would be if Velvet Wasn't a whacking good pipe smoke.

"Let Nature mellow yo' tobacco an that tobacco will shore mellow yo nature," says Velvet Joe. And hes pretty nearly right.

Leonard Ear Oil

Ninety Percent of the cases of Deafness and Head Noises are Catarrhal, due to Catarrh In the Eustachian Tubes and Air Passages which connect the ears and nose. In all such cases these Tubes become stopped up with Catarrhal mucus, and the Air Passages of the Head clogged, thus preventing the air from enteringan d circulating as nature intended.and the result is Deafness and a great variety of dreadful Head Noises. Catarrh causes Thickened, Sunken and Hardened Drums. Also, if the Natural Drum is perforated or completely destroyed the cold air enters through the perforation and a Catarrhal condition quickly arises. Therefore, before there can be any improvement in Hearing or Relief from the Head Noises it js absolutely necessary that the diseased condition in the Eustachian Tubes and Air Passages be relieved. By "Rubbing It In" and massaging Leonard Ear Oil as directed.
