cAPoNS AND CAPoNIZING

Every poultry raiser has each year a large number of surplus cockerels. Usually he finds that 1t is rather hard to dispose of there at a profit. If they are sold as broilers or flyers, he usually re- ceives a fair profit during the early season, but the market is soon flooded" and later in the season they are marketed at a loss, or a very small profit.
 At the present time, capons are selling for more than twice what cockerels are selling for. If more people would caponize their sur plus cockerels, so the produce man could get good market for them, he would be able to pay premium on capons and thereby make the capon industry much more profita- ble.
 From the standpoint of production of poultry meat of high quality and flavor, caponizing is very desirable. The advantages of caponizing are: Larger and heavier fowls at killing time; sweeter meat of finer flavor; much higehr selling price; low cost due to ease in fattening, and in some cases capons are used in early spring to hover baby chicks. Even if there is no market in your locality for capons, it would be ad- visable to caponize as many of the cOckerels as you can use for table use during the winter months.
 In determining the proper time 10 c1 hA ha do rather than the age, the best time being when the birds weigh from one to one and half pounds. The instruments used to perform the operation can be purchased from several different firms whose names and ads appear each month in the poultry journals.
 For ,twenty-four to thirty-six hours before the operation, the cockerel selected should be kept in a clean coop, all feed and water being with held. This will empty the intestines and the operation can be performed more easily. In performing the op eration, follow the directions that accompany the instruments very closely. Caponizing is dangerous OpcIdIlCH, SlUCS IuS OISdHS IO DC removed lie within the cavity of the body, close to the heart, lungs and large arteries. A very slight mistake will result in almost in- stant death.
 After the operation the bird should be removed from the operat- ing table and placed in a clean, airy coop which will not permit flying CT roosting, for the effort put forth in flying to roost tends to keep the wound open. Fresh water and plenty of ground feed should be supplied. Two or three days after the operation the bird should be examined to see whether or not there are any wind puffs under the skin in region of the wound. In case puffs are found they should be reduced by pricking the skin with some sharp instrument. At the end of two weeks the wound will be entirely healed and the capon can be treated the same as any other growing bird where flesh growth is the object.

LET US HAVE PEACE

There is too much unrest in this country. Conditions are entirely too unsettled.
 There is pickering, backbiting jabbing and confusion everywhere.
 Labor and capital are continually at each others throats. probably more so than they have ever been before.
 Every strike, every cessation of activities, sends the price of liv- ing higher.
 If one group of men demands increased wages and wins out in the contest, that increase is paid for by an advance in the cost of the product which they produce.
 This causes an increase in the cost of living and other groupes demand increased compensation in order to meet it.
 And so it goes all down the line always boost somewhere.
 No one is satisfied, practically everyone is more or less disgruntled and nowhere does remedy or a stabilizing influence appear to be in evidence.
 To bring order out of the present chaos requires the mind of a Solo, mon-and Solomon is still to be found.
 It would seem that one of three things must eventually happen. Prices will go back to pre-war days, standard of prices for all trades or professions will be fixed, or a great cataclysm will overtake the country and do it's own leveling
 The first is difficult to conceive, the second appears impossible of at tainment, and the latter is an al- formative to be dreaded and shunn- ed.
 Two facts stand out as clear as day. The man who is making the money will not relinquish his ad- vantage, and the man who is not

A CAPTIVATING ROLE

In Captain Kid, Jr.," Mary Pickford plays another almost grown-up-young-lady role and the well known stage comedy provides her with one of the most delight ful characterization she has ever chosen for proclamation on the screen. The screen version of Rida Johnson Young's play was made by Frances Marion, a clever scenarist who has written the scenarios for all of Miss Pickfords recent suc- cesses. The direction was by Will liam D. Taylor and it was his sec ond photoplay with Miss Pickford as star. Captain Kid, Jr.," will be shown at the Regent Theatre next Tuesday and record breaking busi- ness is assured.

derstood. Letters sent in supple
menting the questionnaires, reveal
fact that a majority believed that
ouestion number one referred to the
classification of land and not to all
property in general and the answers
to question number two would also
indicate this to be a fact, inasmuch
as an answer in the affirmative to
question number one would neces-
sarily bring a negative answer to
question number two, or vice versa.
Question No. 3.-Do you approve of
the present law exempting mort
cages from taxation? Answers:
500 eyes," and 948 mo"
The majority of the answer to
this question show conclusively that
the feeling is, that evidences of debt
secured by a mortgage on real estate
or personal property in Montana,
should not be exempted from taxa
ton; but that some provision should
be made whereby the MORTGAGE
would not be permitted to pass the
tax, on such evidence of indebted
ness, to the mortgagor or the party
borrowing money.
Question No. Are you in favor
of a constitutional amendment
permitting the exemption of 5000
worth of household furniture to
each family? Answers: 1927
eyes," and 389 mo"
Question No. 5.-Do you favor the
taxation of income? Answers:
1441 eyes," and POI "No."
Real estate and personal property
are now carrying as great a tax
burden as they can stand and in or
der to increase the yer to the
State, necessary to the operation of
the different subdivisions of
Government, it is imperative that
some other means be provided, other
than that of placing aNgreater bur-
den on real estate and personal prop
erty.
A number of states now have a
successfully operated income tax
law, and it is a regrettable fact that
the Tax Commission, upon whose
shoulders rest the responsibility for
the present law, after two years in
vestigation and an expenditure of
S22, 10000, did not make a recon-
m~endation along this line to the
Legislature, when making their re-
port of recommendation.
Question No. 6.-Do you favor a tax
of 5 per ZEN on the gross receipts
from outgoing and incoming bus
mess of express companies? (Our
present law is 2h per cent and
some neighboring states have 5
per cent? Answers: 1850 Eyes,"

Committee ON TAX
REFORM REPORTS
QUESTIONABLE REFLECTS PU-
BLIC OPINION ON PRES
EMIT TAX LAW

The Committee on Tax Reform,
appointed by the State Association
of County Officials in convention last
fall at Miles City, adopted the plan
of sending out missionaries to the
taxpayers throughout the State in an
effort to ascertain by this means, the
c~oncensus of opinion of the taxpay-
ers on matters of taxation.
The members of the committee at
this time, feel that the public is en-
titled to know what is the sentiment
throughout the state in respect to
the character of the questions and
the answers elected, ETC., and is JUS
tilted in concluding that interest
heretofore manifested in taxation
and revenue, is statewide and be-
speaks the assistance of the Press
of Montana in disseminating the in
formation obtained and the conclu-
sions, which are undoubtedly en-
phatic and directory.
Approximately three thousand
missionaries were sent out and
about two thousand replies were re-
ceived and tabulated. Numerous
suggestions showing careful thought
and consideration and of material
assistance to the committee were re-
ceived. All but three counties in the
state were heard from; Ravalli coun-
ty being first in the number of an
swers received, with a total of 275;
Roosevelt county second with 246,
and Lewis and Clark county third
with It's.
Following are the questions con-
tanned in the questionnaires together
with a brief resume and analysis of
the answers received, showing con-
clusively that a large majority of the
taxpayers are in favor of the re-
vision of the tax law as now in
effect.
Question No. do you favor the
classification of property for tax
alton purposes? Answers: 1886
Eyes," and 425 mo"
Question No. 2.-Do you believe
that all classes of property should
bear the anne proportion of the
burdens of taxation? Answers:

to questions number one and two,

ture, containing pertinent questions
on taxation matters, the replies to
be published so that the people may
know the attitude of the different
candidates on this question.
There should be no sidestepping
Of this issue by the candidates and
the taxpayers should demand some
thing more than a statement from
the prospective candidates; they
should by all means, exact in M I'M
mistakable terms, the attitude of
each candidate on the paramount is
sue of taxation.
With the proposed measures in
volving the issuance of approximate
ly $4,000, 100000 in bonds for irri-
cation, roads and state institutions,
a levy of 1h mills on all property
in the state to provide for the main
tenance of state educational insti-
t%utions, necessary funds to meet the
deficit in the State General Fund of
approximately 1000, 100000, the
counties bonding to the limit for
road and other purposes, cities seek
ing more revenue, city and rural
school districts contemplating large
bond issues, all this in addition to
the present Indebtedness of the var
ious subdivisions of the state, call
ing for a much greater to
meet all these contemplated expen-
diturres and the taxpayers already
protesting that their taxes are now
too high and that retrenchment is
necessary, it behooves the taxpayers
at this time, to give the tax matters
careful attention.
On account of the high tax at the
present time and the abnormal con-
dition of the State, it is the opinion
of the Committee that no additional
burden should be created or public
money spent more than is absolutely
and unquestionably necessary.

MYsTERY ON THE SCREEN

The appetite Of the public for
their amusement is tickle. But there
Is. one thing that this tickle public
will always welcome and that is the

detective story is perennially popular.
And It's lure takes in young and old
OF both sexes. It knows no caste or

late Theodore Roosevelt and the pre-

Wilson both, undersigned statements
and interviews, have declared that,
what they relished most, when seek
ing amusement9,and4lli abstraction from
their heavy executive labors was a
detective story. Therefore when the
Vitagraph company decided on de-

duction starring Antonio Moreno,
they made a wise move. This serial
