d. l.. Grier, manager of the cleo
trio and water department of the
Idaho Irrigation company, has put in
eight days this week studying the
moods and eccentricities of the gaso-
line engine in the Recorder Office.
Mr. Grier tells us that there was no.
thing In particular the matter with
the engine, except the deudevidyitity
had swelled SO the calithorinkaIump
us would not go into the fiipperfiop-
der that works the gingerdoodle and
makes the kinetoscoopentacker get
out of the way of the wopperchoke.
When he told us this. we we're per-
fectly satisfied that the engine was
headed for Blackfoot. Mr.. Grier un-
derstands gasoline engines and print
ers, however, the two most compli-
Gated pieces of machinery ever built
and at last the little engine Is sitting
along right merrily and once more
the birds are warbling in the heart
of the printer.

streets in little knots and exchanged
experiences and ideas and renewed
the cordial spirit of fellowship.
The community dinner was a big
affair, the tables being crowded to
the limit. Much credit is due the
committee for the clocklike way in
which this part of the program was
handled-in fact, too much praise
can not be given to any of the COM
mittees. They all worked hard and
harmoniously, with the result that
Richfeld Day, 1916, will long remain
bright spot in the memory of all
who were in attendance.

There was something fine in the
spirit of fellowship that existed be-

the fair, and the Recorder suggests
that this spirit be fostered, to the
end that a community spirit may be
aroused that will make Richfield and
the surrounding country noted for
a oneness of purpose and bring about
working harmony for the upbuild-

Last Saturday, Richfield Day, was
observed in this city, a large crowd
having assembled, representing not
only the farmers of the outlying
tracts but also comprising visitors
from all parts of the state who have
learned that this recurring day of
festivity and display always offers at
fractions both in sports and exhibits
that are worth while.
A few years ago, about the time
the town was established, few So
cially inclined pioneers gathered an
nually to enjoy feast of good things
to eat which they brought in baskets
and around the banquet board they
discussed the future and prophesied
great things for Richfeld. After a
while this custom became a regular
thing and finally developed into the
dignified and important affair now
known as Richfield Day. while the
hopes and prophesies of the rugged
men and women of other days are fast
being fulfilled and their dreams crys-
talizing into realities, and they note
with joy the overwhelming CONNER

peerless agricultural section-and to
them belongs a great deal of the cred

Saturday, and the races and sports
of all kinds were as enjoyable as had
been anticipated. The exhibits in all

WALSH
 ISSUES LETTER ON
 TAXES ON LIQUORS
Warns Sealers of Penalties That May Be Imposed for
 Evading Impost.

All liquor dealers throughout tF state will receive a, letter this wee rom James J. Walsh, collector of il .erna1 revenue, now being sent out L hat department, which explains COT the tax on liquors and th penalty imposed for attempting i wade it. The letter follows:
 The ommissioner of internal revenue, Washington, D. C., has informed me that from facts com ing to the attention of the de- partmen the conclusion has been reached that all tax is not being paid on wines, liquors, cordiaIS and similar connpounds:-the Act of Oct. 22, 1914, imposing such tax being disregarded by tax pay i CTS in many instances.
 Tn view of the fact that this
 measure has been in force for , more than a year, and very full and complete instructions have been issued in treasury decisions, and in departmental letters, as well as by field officers. of the bureau. it is believed that liquor dealers, producers and importers of wines must be thoroughly con versant with the requirem ents of this Act. Hereafter, therefore, the 200 per cent. penalty will be imposed in all cases where there is evasion of taxes, or attempts at evasion. As the absence of stamps on any bottle or contain CT of such beverages sold or ex- posed for sale or consumption is prin1a, facie evidence that the tax has not been paid, rendering the wines, etc, forfeitable, it will a1Gn Ina T-ooor6o6 aS ooio evidence of wi1ful intent to evade taxes; and aany beverages sold without tax pawn ent and stamp E ing, both tax and penalty will be assessed.
 Wines. liquors, cordia1s and similar compounds when removed to the retail room or department are required to be tax paid and stamped, as the presumption is that the very purpose of such re- moval is for selling same or of ferfng them for sale or consump- tion- The only exception to this sruIe will be in case the beverages are stored in cabinets with solid doors Cnot glass; where they will not be exposed to t1-e view of the customer, and in such manner as to concIusive1y negative the idea that the same are offered for sale or consumption. Many pleas have been made that un- stamped wines were not offered for sale or consumption because they were on the back rows of shelves in the retail room, were wrapped in paper, were un1abeIed or in pasteboard cartons, or in glass cases. These excuses are not convincing and will not be accepted.
 This letter is forwarded to you for your information and guid- ance.

What are the Hertzian waves? What part do they play in wireless telesra- phy?
 They are electric waves, so called from Heinrich Hertz 1S57-1S94), a German engineer and scientist, who first demonstrated the possibility of wireless telegraphy. In the course of his investigations he demonstrated some new principles regarding the transmission of light and electricity, and his premature death was regarded as a distinct loss to science. Wireless telegraphy is sometimes called Hertz ian telegraphy. The present Marconi method of telegraphing without wires is by. means of 'Hertzian waves" which pass through the ether-the me Ndium that fills all space, and remains after all else is exhausted. The ap- paratus generates and transmits these waves, the existence and operation of which were first demonstrated by Hertz.
