Eight Hardin Farmers Win Tax Refunds From Government
Eight Hardin County farmers won a tax refund totaling 5800 plus interest after a federal suit over income taxes on breeding and dairy livestock sold in 1947. The refunds reflect the 1951 revenue act change that allows capital gains treatment for livestock held for draft, breeding, or dairy use for 12 months or more. Farmers must file 1948 refunds by March 15, with millions potentially due and many Iowa farmers eligible.

Farm Home Near Union Burns To Ground
A farmhouse on the Harry Warrington farm, about a half mile west of Union, burned to the ground around 4 30 Thursday morning. Lon Chance, occupants of the farm, his son in law and daughter Mr and Mrs Ralph Colberg of Watsonville California escaped with only their clothing as smoke filled the home. Union and Whitten fire departments arrived too late to save anything. The house and contents were insured. The fire is believed to have been started by defective wiring or chimney sparks. The property was built in 1868 by Enoch Lundy and remodeled about 50 years ago.
