Forestors and lumbermen see in a decision of the Treasury Department in regard to the administration of the income tax a strong rrgument for for estry. As they interpret the opinion of the Treasury offi cials they understand that no timberlands shall be subject to tax until the timber is cut and marketed and that then: the profit only will be sub ject to an income tax assess ment. In other words, all costs will be deducted before the tax is levied, and these will cover the cost of growing the timber, including the cost of planting where neccessary and of protecting the growing crop from fire and other de predation. This decision was based tip on a request for information made by P. S. Risdale, secre tary of the American Forestry association. He asked if there would. be a tax on the value of the yearly growth of tim ber whether it was cut or not and also whether an income tax would be assessed on the value of timbcrland. In re ply the Treasury Department said that "the gain from the cutting and disposal of stump age is realized in the year during which the timber is cut is disposed of, and that amount, received in excess of such timber is profit, and should be so accounted for as income for that year."

The pictures have been boiled down to three reels eliminating all events that are not of especial interest to the public. This gives you the assurance of seeing that which is really worth while. The pictures are a whirlwind of action from start to fiuish, the photoplay is brilliant and absolutely clear. Hippodrome and chariot races, bucking and roping contests for the champion ship of the world. See the boys trying to ride a donkey, a laughable mirth provoking performance, "we've been over the trail and we can throw the rawhide, there ain't ne'er a durn bronco but what we can ride but the donkey threw the whole cow outfit.
