REPORT YOUR O

Remember that March 81, next, is
the last day on which you may submit
your income tax returns for the year
1917 to Uncle Sam. Those who fail
to have their reports in the hands of
Collector W. c. Whaley at Helena by
that time subject themselves to severe
penalties, and if past experiences are
to be taken as presidents, no excuses
will be accepted, but rather a stiff
fine exacted.
The making of an income tax report
will be a novel experience for a vast
majority of the residents of the
treasure state, as we'll as those of the
entire country, for the reason that
our entrance into the war was respon-
sible for lowering the limit so as to
include virtually every one.

The XRray department is of the fin

such as the high tension transformer,

The automobile equipment consists
of five G. M. C. and one Autocar am

mattresses can be simultaneously dis

TEST YOUR SEED.

The Glasgow chamber of commerce
and agriculture wishes to call to the
attention of the farmers of Valley
county the advisability of testing all
seed grains for termination. It is
your patriotic duty to know whether
or not your seeds are going to grow.
You can easily find out before you do
your planting for that matter. You
cannot afford to plant poor seed, espe-
cially this year. Uncle Sam wants you
to get every acre of your land to pro-
duce the limit. This can only be done
if you are sure that your seed is of
the best. If you have no means of
testing your seed for termination let
the chamber know and they will help
you.
1t is far more profitable to know
that your seed is good before you
plant it, than have only a half as
much wheat because you did not
know.
By all means terminate your seeds
before planting. It means money to
you.

Upon a nations gate.
Its rumblings cross a continent;
A startled world gives ear, intent

Roll on and rattle toward Berlin
A storm of singing shots!

To check the waste, to burn less oil

That savings may sing "Over There"

1t is with sorrow that we have to
record the death of Mrs. Thomas Nc

weeks, and her condition from the be-

her girlhood companion January %.
1917 in Kentucky. A baby girl was
born to this union November Is last,
the mother giving the great sacrifice
of her life, for with the exception of
two days she had been belfast to the
time of her decease. She was a fine
christian character, being a member
of the Baptist church since 10 years
old, and never missed a Sunday at
church or Sunday school. She was
greatly interested in the little SUM-
day school last summer in the south
country about two miles from her
home, and we shall miss her as the
future of that work is planned this
year. Besides the Borrowing husband
and the four month old baby, she is
survived by her mother, a sister and
three brothers who are in Kentucky.
