The berrying season is here,
and every day women and chill
dren carrying pals and baskets
can be seen going into the woods
for the wild fruit. Service ber-
ries are plentiful just now, and
in short while the huckleberry
season will be on. Every year
sees large parties going into the
hills for these berries, and those
who make a business of it find
ready customers in those who
cannot leave their work long
enough to go to the patches. Last
year huckleberries sold for one
dollar a gallon.

While there is as yet no large
bearing orchard in the vicinity Of
Whitefish, some of the trees
which were planted when the
town first started have now
reached an age sufficient to dem
onstrate what can be done here
in the fruit-growing line. The re-
suits from these trees are most
encouraging, and there is reason
to believe more than ever that
this section of Flathead county

Some of the homestead seekers
from the east seem to be under
the impression that nothing can
be raised here without irrigation,
and when told that in this county
irrigation is not needed at all,
they look surprised and are in

However, they can be shown.

Something of much Importance
which the town is looking for

Farmers living near here have
found it we'll paying business

Whitefsh is better commercial

SYNOPSIS OF THE NEW YEA
LAND LAND TAX SYSTEM
BY &. W. AVERY J

(BY G. W. AVERY
First: All improvements on
real estate are exempt from tax
alton.
Second: Where the valuation
of land assessed to any individ-
ual owner does not exceed $500
a further exemption of $500 is
allowed. This exemption is grad
ually reduced as valuation in
creases, and ceases entirely when
a valuation of G25OO is reached.
Third: Mortgages owing by
the owner of land are deducted
from the valuation of the farm
and are assessed to the money
loaner at full cash value and
taxed the same as land.
Fourth: The ordinary rate of
tax is one penny on the 6 valua-
ton.
Fifth: A graduated land tax
begins when the assessed valua-
ton of any individual holder
reaches $4,000 and raises by steps
of IS of penny on the 6 until a
rate of two pence per 6 is
reached at a valuation of 921O, 600
or more.
Sixth: 20 per cent additional
to the graduate tax is levied
where the owner has been a non
resident of the province one year
or more.
The key notes of the system
are:
First: To allow the common
people free access to the land
for use and cultivation.
Second: To prevent specula-
tors from reaping the measured
benefits of the increased values
of land which have been created
by the industry Of neighboring
farms.
Third: To tax the farmer fol
what he owns: not for his in
dustry.
Fourth: To tax the money
loaner for his mortgage: the
farmer for his farm.
The system has been in opera.
ton ten years with the follow.
ing results:
First: 1t has caused the trans
fer of vast tracts of idle lane
from the hands of spectators tt
that of active farmers.
Second: 1t has made the peo
pie a homecoming instead of &
homeless people.
Third: 1t has put thousands
of families on landed homes OF
their own.
Fourth: 1t has relieved the
congested labor centers of the
big cities.
Fifth: It has increased the
productiveness of the country
and drives hunger and wan
from the province.
Sixth: 1t has improved ant
strengthened the civic pride an(
patriotism of the people.
Seventh: 1t has put a pre-
MUM on industry and a discoun
on idle speculation.
Eighth: 1t has made New
Zealand the most prosperous ant
progressive country on earth.
Ninth: 1t has driven inan
cial panics from the country.
Tenth: 1t has settled tn,
great question of capital ant
labor.
Eleventh: 1t has put humani
ty first: money second.
Twelfth: 1t has taken the
reins of government from the
capitalists and given them to the
plain and industrious neOnle.

will be maintained for another year

DON'T KISS ME" SIGNS
Mothers Place Them On Children in
Anti-Germ Crusade.

Strangers in Washington who have
CHANGED recently to wander in and
near the charmed neighborhoOd of
Du Pont Circle have been more than
puzzled to see children whose dress
and bearing alike proclaimed gentle
nurture playing in the park with the
legend Don't Kiss Me" strung across
their breasts in gold letters on blue
ribbons. 1t was hard to tell whether
the Sign was the outcome of a frigid
puritaniSm that sought to ward OF
dangers even before they threatened.
or whether the manners of the little
deniZens of Du Pont Circle had become
so free and easy as to force the growth
OF conservative element which boldly
placarded its demand for more cere-
monious treatment. In reality, how
ever. the children have nothing to do
with it. The ban against kissing has
grown out of the anti-germ craze and
the mothers of Washington. and. it is
said of Boston as well, are banding
together in concerted effort to pre-
vent the promiScuous kissing of their
little ones by admiring friends New
