Late Friday afternoon the directors
of the closed bank made a demand
upon the temporary receiver for a
statement of the condition of the bank
at the close of business on Septem-

consultation with Assistant Attorney
General Sheets, who is aiding the re-
ceiver in the banks affairs, and at the
conclusion of it u asked what they
wanted the statement for.
He was told that the directors
wanted to know the true condition of
the bank for their own guidance. At
ter waiting for an hour and half the
directors were finally given the state
ment, but not until they had promised
not to publish the figures contained
therein.
While refusing to give the state

CLAIMS COURT HOUSE OFF,
GALS DID NOT USE COURTESY

The following letter received last
fall at which time Jim Redmond was
county auditor and Rex Movious, the
present holder of the county treasur-
er's office, held the latter position,
was discovered in looking over our
files and we herewith reproduce it, a
second letter from the subscribed
gentleman. having called our attention
. to the oversight:
~e= Permit metz say in your columns
that am much astonished at the lack
of civility and courtesy shown by
some ofTthe chair warmers in the
court. house Of Sheridan county. On
the 29th of last November, l sent a
draft to Rex M. Movius to pay nv
taxes, amounting to $70.06. and af-
ter waiting for nearly month for my
tax receipt l wrote to him at three
different times enclosing envelope
with &c stamp asking him in a
humble way if he had received my
draft and if he had applied the money
on my taxes and if he wouldn't please
send me my tax receipt, but ] was
unable to get reply from this
worthy, so | tried my luck with the
county auditor enclosing an envelope
with &c stamp but there was nothing
doing from that quarter either, but
he might have been responsible for
Movious making a move to let me
know he had mailed me receipt on
or about the 28th of December. Now
when it takes a man % days to fill
out and mail tax receipt it goes to
show that he is not apt to exceeo
the speed Limit while performing his
official duties even though his name
be movious. But the worst of it is
that | am still looking for that tax
receipt, it has not arrived. I don't
know whether my taxes are paid or
not as am unable to find out from
these worthless who are in possession
of the tax records and who seem to
have swollen so much in their official
capacity that they feel above extend
ing common courtesy TO a pon-resi-
dent taxpayer of Sheridan county.

SHERIDAN FARM
ERS SHOULD
HOLD FLAX

How to insure the retention of all
good flax seed that is threshed this
planting in Montana next spring, is
fall in Sheridan and Roosevelt coun-
ties, in order that it may be kept
from the crushers and saved for
a problem that is due to receive the
attention of the Sheridan County
Farm Bureau and of individual farm
ers right now.
+ Montana is away short of the sup
ply of flax seed that. will be called
for next spring, in view of the prob
able heavy planting of flax for the
1920 harvest, says e. w. Anderson,
county agent. Practically all of the
fax suitable for seding in 1920 that
is now within the state is from the
current harvest in Sheridan and
Roosevelt counties. No matter if ev-
cry pound of good flax is saved for
sed, there will have to be heavy i'm
portations from outside the state.
A movement is now under way to
arrange for the construction of two
special storage bins in northeastern
Montana where seed flax can be held.
These bins will be in connection with
licensed elevators, which will make
it practical for farmers to store their
fax for sed, and use the storage GER
'tificates as collateral. This will pro-
vide a way out for many farmers
who might otherwise have to turn
their fax into cash this winter, re-
CARELESS of whether it goes to crush
er or into the hands of someone who
will hold it for seed.
Farmers with fax that is suitable
for seed should communicate the fact
as soon as possible to E. w. Ander-
son, county agent, Plentywood, Mon
tana.
