Income Tax Officer
At Glendive Jan. 5-21st

| In a communication received by
the Banner this week, Collector of
Internal Revenue VIC. Whaley OF
Helena, announces that federal
income tax officer will be sent into
| this county on Jan. S, 1918 and
will be here until Jan. 21st. He
will have his office in the Court
House in Glendive and will be
there every day ready and willing
to help persons subject to the in
come tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for his
services.
How many income-tax payers
will there be in Da wscn County?
If you can guess h ow many mar
ried persons living with wife or
husband will have net incomes of
$1,000 or over and. how many I'M
married persons will have net in
comes of $1,000 or over this year,
then you know. The Collector of
Internal Revenue S estimates that
there will be 208 taxpayers in this
county.
Returns of income for the year
1917, must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before March
l, 1918. Because good many
people don't understand the law
and won't know how to make out
their returns, the government is
Sc .nding in this expert to do it for
Them. But the duty is on the tax
payer to make himself known to
the government. If he doesn't
make return as required before
March l, he may have to pay a
penalty ranging from $40 to 81, 900
pay fine or go to Jail, you better
call on the income tax man. If
you are not sure about being sub
ject to the fax better ask him and
make sure. Whether you see the
income tax man or not, you must
make return if subject to tax.
Ofcourse, persons resident IN
other mites may, if they want
to, come ald see the income tax
man who will be at the Court
House Gle .ndive.
The &C ollector suggests that
everybody start figuring up now
his incoI ne and expenses so as to
be read 7 with the figures when
he e, pert arrives. Expenses,
lowev r, don't mean family ex-
oenses money used to pay off the
,rinci PIE of a debt, new machinery
,uildi ngs, or anything like that.
They mean what you make in

ACalendar PartyIs
jolly at New Years
\ CALENDAR party makes novel

| n CALENDAR party makes move
~ and informal entertainment fol
F! the evening Of New Years da.
or any night during holiday week. 1
Is very pretty idea to make the invi
tations look as much like the first page
of one of the single leaf calendars as
| possible. Paste on a sheet of white
note paper leaflet from the calender
bearing the date on which the party
is to be held. Below this write:
Thissis an invitation hearty
To my little calendar party.
Next Monday night at eight o'clock
Bring all the wits you have in stock.
Be sure to come whate'er the weather;
Well have a jolly time together.
When the guests have arrived an
nounce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
in calendar race. To prepare for it
take one Of the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for a few
cents. This contains 1865 leaves, or one
for every day in the year. Tear the
leaflets from the cover and hide them
all over the house or apartment, in the
living room, hall or spare bedroom or
wherever you want your guests to go.
At given signal, the blowing of
whistle or the ringing of bell, every
body starts on a search for the leaflets.
This can be continued for as long or
as short q time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an orna-
mental calendar of some sort. The Sec
ond prize should go to the person who
has the most calendar leaves for any
one month, but it is forbidden for play
ers to swap leaves to accomplish this.
A little diary makes a good second
prize.
There should be special prizes for
the people who find the dates of the
most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., New Years,
Washington's birthday, Lincoln's BIRTH
day, Memorial day, Fourth of July,
Labor day (the first Monday in Sep
tember) and Thanksgiving day (the
last Thursday in November). A differ
emit prize should be given to the holder
Of each holiday date and should be |
something appropriate to the occasion. |
For instance, the prize for finding De- |
cember 25 should be a tiny figure of |
Santa Claus or a small stocking made |
Of tarlatan or net and filed with tiny
candles. New Years day prize could
have small red blotter decorated with
the figure of Father Time cut from a
card.
After the prizes have been awarded
there is usually time before supper for
The date game. To play this it is nee
essary for the hostess to prepare in
advance a number of slips ON whicbs
certain well-known historic dates have
been written-for example, 1892, 1905,
L7T6, 1914, etc. These, of course, stand
ior the discovery of America by Co.
umbus, the battle of Hastings Nor
nan conquest of England), the Dec
aration of Independence of the Ameri-
an colonies and the beginning of the
'reat world war. Each player draws
lip, reads it aloud, and whoever first
ames the event that makes it famous
eceives the slip.-New York World.

Woodruff County Fair
swells to Three Big Days

On last Saturday, Supt. c. C.
Hnnnicutt, from Cotton Plant,
and Supt. O. T. Richardson from
Augusta, came to McCrory, to
discuss the School Fair with the
County Fair management, and
as a result, the School Fair is to
become a part of the County
Fair, and three BIG days are now
being planned for the big event.
This will probably be one of
the largest and most attractive
features connected with the Fair,
and will bring thousands Of
school children from all parts of
the county, together with their
parents, who are interested in
the school work in the county.
Supt. Gray, of McCrory has
not arrived yet, but we are con-
fdent that he will join heartily
in the plans now. mapped out,
and we feel sure that McCrory
will not only be we'll represented
in her part of the school work,
but will take her share of the
premiums for that class of work.
President W. E. jerks, and
Secretary L. w. Sturdivant will
soon make a canvass of the en-
tire county, in an effort to get
subscriptions, and premiums, so
that the catalogue can soon be
made up, and details of the fair
be logically worked out.

An enthusiastic good roads
meeting was held at Wiville Mon
day night at which more than a
half a hundred people were pres

ter several instructive and inter

Exchanges to Close
Because of Heat

Following the leadership of the Stock
Exchange, the various exchanges in the
financial district voted yesterday to
close tomorrow to give their members
snd employees some relief from the
cumulative effects Of the heat wave OF
the last few days. This was the hrst
time in the history of Wall Street that
such concerted action had been taken
because of weather conditions:
The exchanges that voted definitely
to close tomorrow in addition to the
"big board" were the Produce Ex-
change and the Cotton Exchange. "
is expected similar action will be taken
to-day by the Consolidated Stock Ex-
change and the Coffee and Sugar Ex-
change. From other cities came ad-
vices that the exchanges would not be
omen tomorrow. Among these were
the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chi
cago Stock Exchange and the grain
markets in Duluth, st. Louis and To-
ledo.
The decision to close was aided by
the desire on the part of the authori-
ties of the various exchanges OF the
country to aid the government in its
examinations of those who come within

THURSDAY. August 2, 1917

Heat is exercising an important
influence on stock market activities.
II is responsible for. the decision to
close the exchange on Saturday, and
the listlessness of trading in the last
few days may be blamed in part
upon the weather. AS the thermom-
eter rises dealings tend TO fall. Con-
sequentiy the heat is doubly de-
pressing to Wall Street. Many of
the operators whose trades are large
enough to make things interesting
even in dull times were absent from
the Street. Those who were pres
ent, however, found little or nothing
in the market TO excite their specu-
lative imagination. About the only
interesting feature of the day on the
Stock Exchange was the revival Of
pool activity in a small number of
industrial specialties, notably Cen
trail Leather, which rose 3as points

the market continued in the same
rut in which it has been moving for
several weeks past. Price changes
reflect little more than the whims Of
the professional trader. The public
is doing nothing. There is this much
more to be said, however: The fact
that the public, which no doubt still
