CONSERVATION OF PAPER.

Every citizen ought to be willing
to see that not pound of paper is
wasted.
Demand from every clerk that any
unnecessary wrapping of packages
be dispensed with.
If you have no further use for to-
day s newspaper save it for the
school children s playground fund.
Thus you will be helping conserve
the nations paper supply and at
the same time helping along a wor-
thy local cause.

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of ST. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake. was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores of
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing
large sum Of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the now
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming, section Of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will APP
preciate this fact. The colonel al
most single handed is doing a great
deal to advertise the FIathead country
in the east and he is entitled to the
hearty support of the people of this
commonwealth In these cfforts.-Adv.

UNDIVIDED SURPLUS
TAX RATE LOWERED
Senate Finance Committee
Puts Burden on Foodstuffs.

Washington. Aug. 2-Reduction from
Is to Topper cent in the proposed tax
on undivided surplus Of corporations,
joint stock companies and associations
and imposition Of new floor" taxes
upon accumulated stocks OF sugar. COT
fee. tea and cocoa were decided on to-
day by the senate finance committee
in revising the war tax bill.
The levy on undistrbuted surplus
virtually is a surtax on corporate in
comes. which now pay only a flat tax.
although individual incomes are sur
taxes. Reduction of the rate to 10 per
cent followed the committees recent
decision to treble the normal corpora
ton tax raising Sl6o, 100000 more rev.
cnuc from that source.
From the proposed Is per cent rate
$25.OOo.O00 was expected. The 10 per
cent tax viii raise much less as, in adj
dition to the 5 per cent reduction, the
committee decided to exempt from the
10 per cent tax surplus that is "actu-
ally invested and employed in business
or retained for employment in the rca-
sonablc requirements of the business .
The new floor tax on sugar, coffee,
tea and cocoa is at the same rates as
are prescribed in the bill for consump-
ton taxes on these products The pro-
vision was added to tax large stocks
OF these commodities imported in an
ticipation of the proposed consumption
taxes.
The rates are:
Sugar y cent a pound; coffee. 9
cents; tea. ) cents, and cocoa, = to 5
cents. Limited amounts in the hands
of small dealers are to be exempt.

RAINS ARE INADEQUATE
GRAIN PRICES HIGHER
Scantiness of Precipitation
in Southwest Gives Corn
Edge 10 Bulls.
DEMAND IS URGENT
Persistent Buying by Shorts
Puts Wheat Prices Up,
Closing Strong.

Chicago. Aug. Corn ran up in
value today owing to disappointment
over the scantiness of rains in the
southwest and to increasing urgency
OF industrial demand. The market
closed firm, " to- 2 net higher. Wheat
finished strong. 13 cents up; oats
gained ~ to IL cent and provisions,
20 to AZ cents.
1t was quickly apparent to a ma
jority Of corn traders that the relief
which rains had afforded to crops in
the southwest and elsewhere did not
amount to nearly as much as expected.
The result was persistent buying that
in the end caused sellers to become
discouraged and made shorts more and
more DESTROYS to cover as prices con-
tinucd to advance.
Wheat prices fluctuated widely on a
very limited trade. BY far the greater
part of the days advance took place
in the last few minutes of the session.
rs q result of a little short covering
when the market was bare of offers.
Late advances in the price of oats
took place in response to the strength
of corn.
Provisions rose on account of bull
fish construction placed on the month

What a Billion Means.

If a railway train proceeding at the
rate Of a mile a minute had been at
the dawn of the Christian era started
around the earth on a straight track.
its object being to run 1.000,O0O,OO0
miles without stop, it would have been
necessary for that train to circle the
earth 10000 times, and it would not
have come to the end Of its journey
until nearly New Years eve. 1928, six
teen centuries after Christ was born.
During its frantic flight it would have
seen the Saviour live and die; Rome
rise, flourish and decay; Britain dis
covered and vanquished by the Roman
legions, and London and Paris built.
1t would have proceeded on its jour-
ney throughout the dark ages. 1t
would have witnessed the birth of Co
lumbus, the discovery of America and
have a couple Of hundred years yet to
continue.-Los Angeles Times.
