Arlie M. Foor returned from the

and reports very successful and
pleasant meeting at which he was
royalty entertained and from which
he received many pointers on the
best methods of handling the thous-

Club secretary. We were unable
to get a detailed story of the conven-

him for next weeks issue.

MONTANA'S FIRST WHEAT
THRESHER is S4 YEARS OLD

Bozeman, Mont, Feb. 5.-Benia-
min F. Bisel of this city, famous
throughout Montana as the first man
who ever ran a threshing machine
within the borders of the present
state, recently celebrated his S4th
birthday here. The old gentleman
is in perfect health.
Mr.. Bisel is native of Ohio and
crossed the plains to Montana in
1864. The first threshing machine
ever to turn out wheat in this state
was owned by Coover and Meadow,
pioneer millers of the Gallatin val
ley, but it was operated by Mr.. Bisel.
According to Mr.. Bisel the separator
was continuous apron affair and
was run by horse power, eight horses
being required to run it. Beginning
in the fall of 1866, Mr.. Bisel thresh-
ed practically all winter, charging
25c a bushel and making a minimum
of $50. He cleaned up $4,000 clear
money for the seasons work.
Mr.. Bisel also operated the first
steam thresher in the Gallatin val
ley early in the seventies.

FLU" EPIDEMIC
IS Less SERIOUS
SPREAD OF DISEASE is MORE
RAPID, BUT MALADY AP-
PEARS MILD F:3RM
NO DEATHS REPORTED
Many Cases Developed into Pneu-
monia, but Local Physicians
Report No Fatalities.

The influenza epidemic has spread
over the city with much greater ra-
pidity than the one of year ago.
Nobody knows how many cases there
are as reports are not being made to
the local health board, but there GER
tainly is not fewer than seventy-five
cases at the present time. In some
instances quarantine cards have been
posted and in some they are not.
There appears to be no escape
from it as it is in all quarters of the
city and no public place is free from
infection One physician is attend
ing to about forty cases alone.
But the situation has its encour-
aging features. There are fewer real
severe cases than last winter and
fewer cases develop pneumonia. No
deaths and no really dangerous cases
have been heard of to date. 1t seems
to hope that the whole
business will be over
with in much less time than last year.
Schools and public places have not
beer closed and public gatherings
have not been banned.
In conversation with a local ply
sician last evening the Herald rep
was informed that al
though this physician had had seven
cases develop into pneumonia the
past week, all were recovering nicely
md entirely out of danger. It was
lis opinion that the epidemic was on
he wane and another week would
inish the run of it. Let's at least
nope so.
Later.-It is reported late this eve
ling that Miss Vida Chrisman died
his afternoon of pneumonia.

four day in which to prepare for

field, Miss Lucy Lenz, her daughter,
Miss Lucy Higgins as the practical
daughter of impractical Mrs. Dubois,
and Miss. Katherine McAleer as the
village postmistress, also deserve spe- !

FOUR CENT TAX Is
LOWEST REPORT
RETURNS SHOW MANY CURIOUS
FACTS ABOUT STATUS OF
WAGE FARMERS

New York, Feb. 9.-Plumbers
who pay income taxes are no longer
the "aristocrats of labor" according
to William H.Edwards, United States
internal revenue collector for the
second and third districts of New
York, in whose districts this year
more than S1,5O0, 100000 will be
gathered up for Uncle Sam.
High wages and profitable over
time, says Mr.. Edwards, have raised
to the income tax paying list such
workers as longshoremen, garment
workers, paperhangers, railroad
brakemen, chauffeurs, sailors, truck
drivers and piano movers. "And
don't forget the chorus girls, the
movie stars and the hotel WATERS"
declared the collector, adding that
some of the latter are making more
than $4,000 year in tips alone.
Street car conductors and motor
men in Brooklyn, for instance, he
said, have made as much as $50
week and, if their yearly income ex-
ceeds $1,000 for single man or
$4,000 for the head of a family, they
will be required to contribute their |
share toward the cost of running the |
government. Mr.. Edwards cited a
few instances, without, of course,
any names, of boot
blacks, milkwagon drivers and bell
boys who in 1919 earned in excess
of their exemption and who will be
required to file returns.

Stand by Your Town

If you think your towns the best,
Tell 'em SOL
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow.
When there's anything to do
Let the other fellow count on you.
You'll feel bully when it's through
Don't you know?
If you want to make hit,
Get name.
If the other fellows it,
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in your town,
Thusly keep your prices down,
Give the fiy-by-nights a frown;
That's the game!
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style.
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For a while.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would ghost,
Meet his hammer with boast
And a smile.
When stranger from afar
Comes along,
'ell him who and what you are
Make it strong;
Needn't fatter, never bluff;
ell the truth, for that's enough;
DIN the boosters that's the stuff. |
We belong!
