The first thing upon which her gaze
alighted was the crumpled photo in Its

sudden fury in which she had de-

She gathered up the bits of broken
glass and the bent frame, and put
them In drawer, dressed herself, and
went down to breakfast. She was too
deeply engrossed in her own troubles

not be really happy with man like

But Hazel was obdurate. She would
not in1ict herself on the one friend

talk, berated her aifectionately for
her independence and rose to so.

Hazel sat down and actually smiled

no longer struck her as running away
under fire. She felt that she could

knowing that Kitty Brooks would put

REDUCE SUGAR SHORTAGE


From all indications there is going
to be sugar shortage this year. Do
you know that the people of Valley
county can help eliminate the scarcity
for this county by raising sugar beets :?
The following explains itself: "Prof.
Holden declared that it is his opinion
that the average family can reduce its
annual sugar bill 80 per cent if it
raises even one 20 foot row of sugar
beets. He asserted it is possible to
avoid the hardships of another year of
sugar scarcity by following this SIM
pie plan. The beauty about the whole
thing is that every home can be its
own sugar refinery. "One fair-sized
sugar beet" said the expert, "when
soaked in water 20 minutes and boiled
in the kitchen stove, will make cup
of thick syrup which can be used in
cooking for seasoning and sweeten-
ing" Secretary Jones further advises
that he is in receipt of letter from
Edmund Burke of the department of
chemistry, Bozeman, in which he
states that Farmers Bulletin No. 1923
issued by the U. S. department of ag-
riculture, gives simple method for
the manufacture of sugar-beet syrup
This bulletin also includes a method
Of growing sugar beets.

CONCERT COMPANY PLEASES

agement of the High School Lyceum
course on Saturday evening, in the
High School auditorium, was greatly
appreciated by the large house which
greeted this company.
1t is seldom that Glasgow has the
opportunity to listen to such high
grade music as this company present.
ed
Raoul S. Bonanno, who forms one
of the company, is baritone of mu-
sical range and sang with warmth
and fervor, winning his audience from
the start, while the Brazilian violinist,
Ignatius Tello, is an artist on the
violin, and his interpretations were ex-
cellent throughout the program.
Charlotte Simpson, a soprano sing
er, was prominent member of the
company. Glasgow had the privilege
of hearing her in Chautauqua few
years ago. Her high tones are espe-
cially good, and are sweet and clear.
She sang some of the old time favor
ties which are always pleasing, when
SO beautifully rendered as on this oc-
casion.
Gwendolyn Bayless, the accompanist
was also an artist in her line, and
played herself into the hearts of her
hearers.
Too much cannot be said by way OF
encouraging the presentation of such
concerts as the Four Artist Concert
company presents, and it is to be
hoped that Glasgow will have visit
from them another year.

A scale of profits for wholesale

suggested by the food administra-
tion with the warning that any mar

posed would be considered cause for
investigation. The scale follows:
Wholesalers Gross maximum

Retailers-Gross maximum pro-
fit on original mill packages not to
exceed 80 cents to $1.2O barrel de-

Dealers were cautioned also
against charging more than pre-war
profits on wheat -four and against
asking more than a reasonable mar
gin on wheat flour substitutes.

The Chamber of Commerce and Ag-

a shortage of farm labor for 1918,
has been working hard to solve the
problem or help in every way possi-
BILE to relieve the situation. Here is
method that in the opinion of the
Chamber will give the farmer an in
centive to plant an increased acreage
of crop.
Every man or boy living in the
towns or not working on farm will
advise Secretary Jones how many days
Il day, 2 days, or monthly, he could
help on farm work, for which he
would receive wages according to
what he was worth. 1t will be neces-
sary to call on public-spirited citizens
to donate the use of their automobiles
for the purpose of carrying the town
workers to and from the farms,
should a plan of this kind be adopted.
Every farmer in Valley county who
will need farm labor and does not

Court House Until Saturday
to Explain New Law.

Heavy Penalty for Failure to File
Statement Before Date Specified.
Exemptions May Be Claimed
for Certain Amounts.

Revenue Collector Martin ]. Durkin
OF Great Falls will be in Glasgow un-
til Saturday, February 9th, to collect
income taxes and assist any persons
who come to him for information re-
garding the law.
All married men having an income
of $4,000 yearly and single men with
an income of $1,000 are expected, and
compelled to make their report to w.
c. Whaley of Helena, who is in charge
of this district, before the first of
March. Under the provisions of the
law, failure to file the report by
March 1st will make person liable
to a specific penalty of not less than
500 nor more than $1,000, and SO
per cent additional tax may also be
imposed.
The revenue collectors have been in
structed to take all steps necessary
to encourage and urge taxpayers to
pay their income tax when they file
their returns. Taxpayers have the
right to postpone payment until June
Is, but for patriotic reasons they are
urged to make payment at the same
time they file their returns. BY
doing so they will have fulfilled their
obligations to the Federal government
under the Income Tax law for the
current year.
There is a discount at the rate of
8 per cent per annum allowed for ad-
vance payments, which in many cases
is waived by the taxpayer
Since his arrival in the city Mr..
Durkin has been kept busy from early
morning until late at night, answering
questions about the income tax law.
His desk has BEEN besieged by per-
sons who desire to know the facts
relating to their individual cases.
While it will be possible for Mr.
Durkin to see only small percentage
of the people affected during his stay
in the city, he states that he will be
in Malta from February II to 16, and
all those who wish to consult with
him personally can go to him there
A list of questions and answers re-
garding the income tax has been left
