Sixteen highway construction pro-

mer by the federal bureau of public
roads in District No. IL, including
Idaho and Montana, with hundreds
of men employed in the work of pre-
pairing more and better roads for
the people of this region and the
tourists.
During the past week three crews
were sent, n going to the north fork
of the F1athead, another to Coram, in
northwestern Montana, and a third to
Glacier park. Within the next few
days a second party will go to anoth-
er road job near Coram, and n to
the south fork of the Clearwater, at
Grangeville, Idaho.
Next month bids will be opened on
three new projects, the Gibbons pass
road, an important piece of highway
connecting Missoula and the Bitter
Root Valley with Central Idaho, the
Greer-Bungalow road in Idaho, and
the Clearwater highway.
Work has been carried on all win

Flying squadrons of special deputy
internal revenue collectors will soor
visit Butte and other large cities IL
Montana and other states, to conduct
special Investigations on delinquent
sales and other special taxes, accord
ing to an announcement made by Jas,
A. Walsh, internal revenue collector
for Montana.
SIN this, as IN every other section
of the country" he said, there will
be conducted during the next two
months, an intensive tax drive for the
collection of delinquent sales and
other miscellaneous taxes, such as the
sO-called luxury tax, the soft drink
tax, the admission tax, the manufac-
turer's tax, the tax ON jewellery and
works of art, and the tax on toilet ar
tfcles and proprietary medicines. Re
ports of laxtty on the part of dealers
and other persons responsible for the
return and collection of these taxes
have reached the bureau of internal
Ievenue from many sources.

dollars In delinquent taxes and penal

Information from the sales tax
unit of the bureau of internal revenue
is that many dealers In soft drinks
and Ice cream, either are keeping no
record of the amount of tax collec-
lions from sales, or that the record
is insufficient or incorrect.
Special attention will be directed
to the collection of this tax, as well as
TO the tax on toilet articles and pro-
prietary medicines. Thru the failure
OF retailers to collect in full the tax
of n cent for each 25 cents or frac-
tfon thereof o fthe amount for which

In an extensive address on
Savings and Savings Banks"
Robert D. Kemp, president of the
Artisans Savings Bank, Whining,
ton, elaborated on the necessity
for thrift, the utility and opera
ton of the savings banks of the
country and the cooperation of
bankers towards bettering condi-
tions.
Profiteers received a merciless
aaying at the hands of Charles S.
Conwell, vice president of the
Baltimore Trust Company, Cam
den. Ranking him lower than
gambler, beggar or thief, Mr.. Con-
we'll characterized the gouger as a
"cowardly parasite and extortion-
ist.' According to Mr.. Conwell a
profiteer is person who takes
advantage of disturbed national
economic conditions to make his
pile" which he "gets dishonorably
and spends like a voluptuary.'
John S. Rossell, president of
the Security Trust and Safe De,
post Company, of Wilmington,
president of the bankers associa-
, ton, presided at the meeting.
The report of the Committee on
thrift and savings showed that
the people in answer to the ap-
peals and educational work of the
bankers, had materially increased
their savings with the banks of the
state. The committee urged
continuance of the educational
campaign.
The committee on agriculture
recommended that the subject of
farming be kept constantly before
the association and efforts be
made to carry out the various
plans suggested for the coopera-
tion of the farmer and the banker.

TO SAVE MAJESTIC
OAK IN CECIL COUNTY

Richards Oak, the majestic tree
which crowns the summit of the
range of hills to the eastward of
Octoraro Creek, near Richards
mere, Cecil county, will have its
life indefinitely prolonged by the
application of the science of
forestry. The trunk of this tree
is twenty-one feet and seven
inches in circumference at a point
four feet above the ground. The
spread of the limbs is approxi-
mately one hundred and five feet,
and the height is roughly esti-
mated at seventy feet.
Signs of decay have become ap-
parent, and in order to preserve
this conspicuous and historic
landmark, the Hytheham Club
Port Deposit, recently had the
tree surveyed by Karl E. Pfeiffer
assistant State Forester, who re,
ports that several places on the
trunk need attention. 1t Is recon-
mended that the cavities be thor.
oughly excavated and then flled
with concrete so that decay vii!
be arrested and the opening will
heal. An appeal is being made tt
the residents of Cecil county, anc
to others who may feel that il
/ would be a fine thing to extend
the life of this hilltop sentinel
for funds to cover the expense o1
the work and to appropriately
mark the tree with tablet.-Ox

"On the whole, the farm situa-
tion in Delaware presents the
same difficulties as elsewhere. 1t

since the U. S. Department of
Agriculture was very free to say
that Sussex county, Delaware, Of
fered greater possibilities for
farming than anywhere in the
United States.
Modern farming to be success
fully carried on requires a large
outlay of money for live stock,
seeds, fertilizers and machinery,
and like any other business enter
prise, this capital must be avail
able or the business fails.
"The farmers must, therefore,
look to the bankers to furnish
them the capital necessary. to
carry on their operations. The
larger amount of capital required,
and under proper conditions, the
net income will be larger per acre.
"The banker, in return, will re-
ceive his loan with the interest
and in many cases a largely in
creased line of deposits. There are
many other ways in which the
banker and the farmer may co
operate.

rural communities depend entirely
upon the amount of knowledge

Discusses Importance of Farming
Industry
Horace L. Dilworth, Past Mas
ter of the State Grange, speaking
on the subject, "The Banker and

the failure of Delaware farm land
to increase in value as rapidly as
that of other states. The past
two years has ment an average In
crease of only S18 per acre IN
Delaware, while in Iowa it was
SIT.
GAS the years roll BY" he said,
agriculture is approaching more
and more the position of the most
important industry of the country,
more and more to the position of
an exact science, requiring a
wider range of knowledge than
most industries for it's successful
operation.
'It is a long road from the
agriculture of the most primitive
people to the present complex
food problems, from the plow
made from a crooked stick to the
modern use of the tractor, from
the skill and energy required OF
the dwellers of the stone age to
the skill and energy required for
the successful operation of two
hundred-acre Delaware farm in
1920.
"The popular notion among city
people is that all that the farmers
have to do is to scratch the earth
and then sit down and wait fo1
abundant crops to burst forth
This is one of the most foolish
fallacies of the present day. There
is no industry that has so many
difficulties to contend with as
| farming. No matter how much
care is used in the preparation Of

seed is used, no man can predict
