Think Before You Write
On Governm't Signboard

Did you write your name and
address on a Government sign
board in the National Forest when
you we're out on your vacation
last summer? If so, you are very
likely to get letter from uncle
Sam in the near future calling
your attention to the fact that
this action on your part is breach
of good manners and a DETACHMENT
as Government property punish.
able by Federal laws.
Writing on signs erected for the
convenience of all visitors to the
National Forests has become SO
common of late years that the U.
s. Forest Service is compiling
list OF names autographed on their
sign boards and is sending each
writer a postcard which reads as
follows: \
Your Name and Address are
written on sign board in the
National Forest
You and others have defaced this
sign erected for the convenience
of all visitors to the Forest.
Have you thought of thatp
And do you know your act is a
violation of the United States
law?
Your cooperation is needed
to keep the Forest attractive for
all visitors. l will be glad to
render you any possible assist
ance in connection with its use.
Very truly yours,
Forest Ranger.

while in interstate transit will be
handled in Montana tax free, in COM
pliance with the decision Of Associate
Justice w. l. Holloway. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court by
Joseph M. Hayes, of Morrow county,
Ore. He was assessed $518 in taxes,
which he protested. He appealed to
the county and state boards of equali-
cation in vain and started suit. He
lost in the lower court and won in
the Supreme Court, when the highest
court in Montana held that sheep in
transit on which taxes have been paid
in another state are being discrim-
mated against to be taxed again. The
case was the first directed against
stock tax laws in this state since
1901. There were 10000 head of for

Washington and Idaho, grazed in
Montana during the summer.

western coast of Vancouver Island about mid
way from north to south. A century ago they
consisted of twenty-five tribes averaging 70 to
the tribe. Owing to sickness and changed con-
ditions brought about by the white man they
have since lost heavily in numbers. They had
their simple industries and their simple ways
of living that were very interesting.

Of trees and into tub they would place their
meats that were to be cooked. They would put
in the amount of water they required for the
cooking, then heat stones in open fire and when
the stones were hot they would drop them into

How Some Indians Cook
Their Meat

use pepper-sauce When they wanted change
of cooking they prepared their meats and
brought it in contact with fire and water in
different manner which we will tell you about
next time
1t is interesting to see how the different
peoples of the earth have prepared their food
following certain lines of cooking to bring
about certain desirable conditions discovered
in nature. The modern meat market of today in
corporates all the advantages by following the
things discovered in nature thru science and
aiding by the mechanical arts
In our modern market the whole plan calls
for keeping the animal prosperous and happy
while he is alive slaughtering without pain as
nearly as possible dressing the meat quickly in
the most sanitary quarters and then keeping it
cool until 1t is properly ripened. The tempera-
ture is changed by going promptly into the cook
ing process. We try to furnish the best, and for
your orders we thank you.
