PAY UP YOUR
INCOME TAX

December 18th is the last day for
the payment Of the fourth installment
sof the income and excess profits taxes
due this year. To avoid penalty, the
tax must be in the Offices Of Collectors
of Internal Revenue or branch Offices
by midnight of that date.
Inquiries reaching the Commission
er of Internal Revenue indicate a be-
lief that taxpayers have ten days
grace on this installment. Such a pro-
vision was contained in the 1917 Rev.
enue Act, but was removed by the
Revenue Act of 1918. =
Payment of the fourth installment
may be made in cash or by money or
der or check. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue urges that whenever possible
payment be made by check or money
order. This method helps the tax
payer by saving him trip to the Col
lector's office and avoids congestion
at the cashiers window. Checks or
money order should be made payable
to collector of Internal Revenue"

DRIVELAUNCHED TO
ENROLL FARMERS

i. A drive to secure members for the
Barnes County Farm Bureau was
launched today, under the supervision
Of T. X. Calnan, county agent. Up to
the present time, Barnes county has
had farm bureau not affiliated with
any of the larger organizations. The
county organization has been dis
solved, and the plan for the new or
ganization taken up, in which it is
hoped to enroll every farmer of Barnes
county. The new organization will be
affiliated with the recently organized
state association, which in turn will
affiliate, with the national organiza-
ton, making one of the strongest or
ganizations of farmers of the United
States. -.
The dues are $40 per year for the
new organization, which includes
membership in the county, state and
national organization. =
Fifteen men started out today to
canvass every part of Barnes county,
in an attempt to enlist every farmer
as member.
Seyenty-five cents of the member
ship fee goes as subscription fee to
the Barnes County Farm Bureau News
and fifty cents for subscription to the
North Dakota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion News, both publications dealing
with farmers problems and happen
ings on North Dakota farms. Many
helpful suggestions are contained in
each of the publications.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
ARE BEING Sent

Local postoffice officials report that
Valley City people are complying with
the requests of officials to mail their
Christmas parcels early" A large
number Of packages have already gone
through the local postoffice, labeled
"Do Not Open Until Christmas" but
it is a very small portion Of the
amount that will be dumped into the
office between now and the twenty
fifth of December.
The postoffice yesterday received or
ders from the head Of the postal de-
partment at Washington that no pack
ages would be received addressed to
citizens in Norway. No. reason was
given for this embargo on articles to
that country, but nevertheless the or
ders must be carried out, and those
people having friends in Norway will
be saved the expense of sending gifts,
and still have logical excuse. :
Old Saint Nick is not very popular
with the children of Valley City, it
seems, since no letters have been re-
ceived up to the present time address
ed to this popular old codger. How
ever, the old man is so busy at this
time Of the year, that it is unlikely
he could answer the letters, and they
would be sent to the dead letter Office
where some cruel hearted official of
the government would open them up
and perhaps chuck them in the waste
basket. Better put a return on if you
write to Santa, as mail service to the
North Pole is complicated and your
letter may go astray.

ADVERTISING NAN
SPEAKS TO LOCAL CRIERS

: Speaking of the conditions as they
exist locally Mr.. Betting urged the
business men of Valley City to make
surveys of their territories and pro-
ceed to develop them to the fullest ex-
tent on the basis of this survey.
F.! Mr.. Betting laid special stress on
the Importance of truthful advertising
and attempted to show that the faith
of the public is much greater in
merchant who advertises truthfully.
He also urged steady system of ad-
vertising, and cited instances to show
that spasmodic advertising does not
pay.
He told the story of how John Wan
namaker, one of the nations greatest
advertisers and one of the most suc-
cessful business men, took in $18.65
on his first day of business, and how
he turned around and spent $18 the
following day for advertising. T..
The purpose of the Crier's' Club is
to develop a general good fellowship
between competitors in business, and
Mr.. Betting pointed out that this is
; what the Town Crier's Clubs all over
the United States and other countries
are doing.
T. Melvin Lee, secretary of the Mid
dlewest Trust Co., made few re-
marks, urging merchants to cooper
ate with the bankers in preaching
economy to the public.
C. C. Chaffee, secretary of the local
club, gave his experience in adver-
tising and told of the magnificent re-
suits he has obtained from steady and
truthful advertising. Mr.. Chaffee is
perhaps the largest advertiser in this
section of the state. Mr.. Chaffee stat
ed that he followed the rule that when
q customer came into his store, that
they always found the goods adver-
tised of better quality than stated in
the advertisement. He very strongly
emphasized the necessity of true ad-
vertising.
A smoker was also enjoyed in con-
nection with the banquet and meeting.
The club promises to become one of
the best in the state.

PAVING PROJECT
IS DISCUSSED

The project of paving for Valley
City was taken up and briefly discuss.
ed at the regular monthly meeting OF
the City Council Monday. It was
suggested that estimates be secured
from. contracting companies for paw.
ing for the coming year. No commit.
tees were appointed to carry out this
matter, but it is understood that re.
quests for estimates will be made to
many of the large companies. Paw
ing costs, it is believed, will be consid-
erably cheaper next year than they
have been during the past three OF
four years, when the war shot the
prices of materials used in paving up
to the peak. Cement and other mater
ials are now coming down, and it is
believed that paving could now be
carried forward at much less ex-
pense than during the war period.
However. before the paving project
can be carried out, it will be necessary
to dispose of the bonds foated for the
proposed extension of the water
works of the city for fire protection.
The bonds which the city had intend
ed to sell to the State of North Dakota
to finance this undertaking were turn
ed down at Bismarck, it being stated
that there was no money in the treas
ury Most of the material, including
hydran.ts and other items, have al
ready been secured for going ahead
with the work, and the contract has
been let to a firm in Fargo, but it is
necessary to dispose of the bonds be-
fore anything can be done. A confer
ence with the fire department is
planned to talk over the matter and
possibly postpone it for short time.
The total assessment against the
city for 1902 is $56,788, which in
cludes general expenses, library, etc.
The assessment for the year 1920
was $46,641. This increase is neces-

COLLECTIONS ARE
DIFFICULT TO GET

That the credit situation regarding
! collections is what might be termed
"punk'' is the expression used by a
good many merchants regarding col
lections at the present time. This they
blame to several different reasons. The
holding of the wheat by the farmers
to secure higher price, is keeping the
money in the state at standstill, and
business is halted temporarily, thus
furthering credit initiation to the ex-
tent that some small town merchants
are nearly at the end Of their re-
sources, and while the bigger depart
! ment stores and other businesses are
not so hard hit, they are feeling the
shoe begin to pinch. This is especially
true of businesses carrying many
farmers accounts.
"We do not believe that the farmer
! is trying to get out of paying his OBJ
,, legations" said one merchant, "but is
simply holding his wheat until he
gets the price which he Is demanding.
One way to obliterate the present
situation is for the farmer to sell
small portions of his product, even
though it represented a distinct loss,
and pay at least part of his obliga,
tions. This would do more than any,
thing else that I know of to bring
financial conditions in this state back
to normalcy.
"The merchant is being forced at
the present time, by the downward
trend of prices to sell merchandise
that he has had on hand at loss, so
thea farmer is not the only sufferer
by this period of readjustment."
Local collections are reported as
very good. One large wholesale house
in the city, whose main bulk of busi-
ness is outside the city, reported a
hard time with its collections until
they undertook the method of writing
a personal letter with each statement.
Amounts which had been standing on
the books for weeks began to come in.
eve were more than pleased with this
method" said the manager, in speak
ing of the new scheme. 1T entails
more work, it is true. but it gets re-
suits and that is what we want"
One bank in the city, early in the
fall when the price of wheat was at
a small margin above the cost of pro-
duction, urged the farmers to sell
enough of their product to iquify their
debts, which was very good advice.
Some did and others didn't, the ma
jority of them holding their product.
Had the farmers cooperated with the
business men at that time, it is be-
lieved much better financial condi-
ton would prevail in the state. The
bankers of the state recently express
ed their willingness to cooperate with
the farmers in whatever move they
to get fair price for the
product of their labor, in resolutions
passed at the bankers meeting in
Fargo. Those resolutions clearly in
dicated how the bankers stood on the
situation. ,s- a@ss. T..

The annual meeting will be held on
January II, the place to be designat-
ed later by the president, I. j. Moe of
Valley City. and Secretary Will E.
Holbein of Minot.
At, the time Of the meeting of the
North Dakota State Good Roads AS
sociation held at Minot Nov. 18th, part
OF the directors were not appointed,
and a committee composed of Treas
urer A. J. Ross, Director H. M. Will
son and Sec. Will E. Holbein were
delegated to fill the vacancies. This
committee met recently and appointed
the lacking members of the board of
directors.
j. j. Wolfer of jamestown was Sc
lected for the fifth district including
Stutsman, Barnes, La Moure, Wells,
Griggs and Foster counties.
These directors are asked to appoint
a man in each county in his district
who will see to it that the county is
organized intensively for the North
Dakota Good Roads Association. This
means that each county chairman will
secure as many memberships to the
association as possible through an in
tensive campaign for memberships
throughout the entire county before
the first of January. ach director will
be responsible to the Association for
his share of memberships.
Any Association without member
ships cannot long survive. The work
before the association calls for united
service on the part of all the people
of the state who want good roads as
soon as possible. All plans must be
made before the meeting of the legis-
lature in January, and after the legis-
lature has, for instance, passed the
sort of legislation we will ask for the
work has only commenced. It will
take two more years to bring an
amendment to the constitution to a
vote of the people, and that means
work, of the hardest kind. The more
members, the more work will be done.
The memberships are SIS a year. Any
man who owns an automobile can af-
ford this amount, and any man who
rides in his friends automobile can
surely pay that much for member
ship. Let's make it 10000 members
before January 1st, 1921.

SERVICES Held

The Annual Memorial Services of
the B. P. o. E. Lodge Of Valley City
was held in the Elks Home Sunday. A
fair attendance Of members was on
hand to pay homage to their departed
members. J. O. Hanchett delivered
the address Of the day, paying respects
to the deceased members Of that fra
ternal order. II
Thee memorial services are held
throughout the entire United States
in all Elks Lodges on the first Sunday
in December Of each year, and ad-
dresses were delivered to all camps in
the United States yesterday.
The services held in the local lodge
Sunday were very fitting tribute to
the Lodges departed members.
