Price Control The Price Control bill is now. on the Persident's desk. He is not reported as having hailed it as one of his outstanding birthday present*. This legislation in its finfri form is a keen disappointment to those who feel the need operational and practical safeguards against soaring prices and inflation. The bill was sabotaged by powerful pressure groups: each one being suspicious that the other would derive undue advantages thereunder, j The President would be justified in killing it with a veto but he probably wont. He witk doubtless accept it as it is and truift that, one by one, amendments mayVbe enacted that will replace its most obnoxious features. The Sugar Shortage Sugar is now being rationed, The reason given is that the war in the Philippines has cut off our norma] impotr of one million tons of that commodity. Representative Pat Cannon, i (Bern. Florida) stated that with proper governmental co-operation Florida could in five years offset the loss of sugar from the Philippines. He said that Florida growers were "rarin' to go," that the acreage in the Everglade swamps is available for the planting of sugar cane and that in one year production could be increased by 200,000 tons. Florida has been limited in sugar production under New Deal regimentation. However, it is pointed out that there is now over a million tons of Cuban sugar available for immediate use. Government officials however, state that that supply must be kept intact for possible conversion into industrial alcohol. «o essential for PTnaments.* It has been pointed out that there isn ow in this country a huge ov^r-supply of corn and wheat, many times more than enoueh to manufacture all the alcohol that could be obtained from the Cuban sugar. A substantial nortion of this gra'n will hp wasted if not put to use in the near future. It is known that the distillers of the country have offpred their entire facilities to thp government foi the conversion of this grain into industrial alcohol but have met with no encouragement. W?

Thr» age limits for en^ollees as fixwl in the bill are 21 to 45 years. Companies are contemplated to be stationed at large camps and other military installations, including information centers of the Aircraft Warning service. The type of duty is non-combatant and assignments may include the following: Clerks, machine operators, telephone, telegraph and switchboard operators, pharmacists, dieticians, hostesses, librarians, theater employees, welfare workers, post exchanges, plotters, telers, supervisors in information and filter centers, cooks, stewardesses, laundry workers and messengers. The Corps would not be part of the Army but the grades of director, assistant director, and first, second and third officers would correspond generally to those of Major, Captain, first Lieutenant and second Lieutenant, respectively of the Army. An appropriate uniform will be precsribed and issued to each member. This bill will probably be acted upon by the House during the first week of February.

After using the oven, leave the door open until it has dried out. This helps avoid rust and stale odors.

IM* DEBUNKER By John Harvey Furbay, Ph.D. Many farmers will be liable for filing income tax returns and payment of tax for the first time this year. The term "farmers" includes livestock raisers, fruit and truck growers and operators of plantations and Ranches. Farmers may maintain their records and file their returns of income on either the cash receipts and disbursements basis or on the accrual basis of accounting. A consistent method must, however, be employed. " If a cash basis is used, Form 1040F, j "Schedule of Farm Income and Expenses," is required to be filled out and filed in conjunction with Form 1040. Deductions from gross income may be made by farmers as necessary expenses, all amounts expended (other than those constituting capital expenditures) in carrying on the business of farming. Deductions for expenses include such items as cost of feeding and raising livestock (except the value of farm produce grown upon the farm and the labor of the taxpayer) ; cost of seed, minor repairs to farm buildings (other than the dwelling of the farmer): small tools used up in the course of a year or two:, fuel and oil for farm work; repairs and maintenance of farm ma* ••hinery; hired laborers and nired ma< /•bines, ard co«t of commercial fertile **e»-* the benefit of which is of short : duration. The cost of farm machinery, equip* .•n»nt and f*»rm buildings: amounts ex* pended in the development of farms, orchards and ranches, as well as the amounts expended in the restoration of soil fertility preparatorv to actual nroduction of crons and the cost of liming soil to increase productiveness over a period of years, are capital expenditures. Losses incurred in the operation of firm" as business enterprises are deductible from gross income. If livestock has be^n purchased for any pur* i pose, and afterwards dies from dis. lease, exposure or inuiry, or is killeij by o>*der of the authorities of a St»t* or the United States, the actual pur» chase price of such livestock, less ant depreciation allowable as a d«»duction in resoect of such perished livestock, may be deducted as a lo«s if the loss is not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. If gross income is ascertained by the use of inventories, no deduction can be taken separately for livestock or products lost during the year. v.; l"X '•'*v -A" OVR R I S I N G SUN CONTRACTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE DATED TO BE VAU0 SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRANTS CHOOSE PLACE OF RESIDENCB SM Tank SUpa About 320 tank ships are being used in American coastal com- UY IN save time There is a popular idea that an agreement that is written and signed must be dated or it is of no legal value.

The director emphasised, however, that no transient address may be re» corded and that selective service regulations prohibit any interference or dictation by a registrar when a regis? trant who has more than one place of 1 residence is making his choice as to which he desires recorded as his home address. "It is the intent of the law and the purpose of selective service regulations," Director Armstrong asserted, that each man be registered at his home address and be subject to call te fill quotas from that local board. That is a basic principle of democratic procedure and I .expect every selective service registrar in the State of Illi» nois to adhere strictly to it." Registration cards to be used Feb> 10 will contain a space for the regis trant to list his place of residency In the event that he has more thai one place, he is required to list hit owjj choice as his place of residence In addition, the registration card will have space for recording a matt address. This may be the same as the place of residence or it may be another address where the registrant will receive his mail more readfly. Selective service regulations alse require each registrant to describe the place of his residence so that its loca» tion may be determined from its des« cription. A resident who lives on al RFD route which goes through two states will be required to indicate teb, location of his residence, rather than his mailing address. For this reason, and because some registrants may be able to receive their mail more readily at an address other than their place of residence., the registration card hag spaces for both addresses. A description of the place of resl» dence of the registrant, the directot' stressed, will once and for all time determine the local board that will have jurisdiction over the registrant. The mailing address, however, can be changed when necessary and local boards will send their notices to the mailing addresses without regard to place of residence. While the mailing "*dre8s i« subject to change whenever the registrant moves, the director pointed out, registrars are instructed i to warn the registrant that once he designates his place of residence he irrevocably designates the local board which will have continuous jurisdiction over him.
