TAXES DELINQUENT SOON

In another column will be found
a notice from County Treasurer It'd
land stating that 1920 taxes must be
paid by Sept. 80 or a penalty of 10
per cent will be added 1t will be re-
called that, on account of the poor
crop conditions throughout Montana
last year, making it impossible for
many people to pay their 1920 taxes,
the legislature passed an emergency
measure, permitting the taxes to run
until the above date without becom-
ing delinquent. In normal years
they became delinquent if not paid
by November 80.
Those who can pay the 1920 taxes
should do SO before they become de-
linquent, for it will mean a saving
of 10 per cent to pay them.

Those who attended the Wide
Awake Community Fair yesterday
say that it was wonderful exhibit
and one which could creditably be
taken to the state fair. Not only was
there a fine showing of grains, corn
and various kinds Of grasses, but the
collection of vegetables contained
many things which one would not ex-
pect to find in this section of the
country. There were some elegant
Strawberries and ground cherries,
peppers, etc.
One part of the exhibit which took
the eye of everyone was the collec-
ton of canned fruits and vegetables

Wide Awake Community
Has Very Successful Fair

put up by the Boys Gaming club.
The Boys club consists of boys about
'eleven or twelve years of age and
their work would have done credit to
people much older than they.
In the evening there was picture
exhibition on by County Agent
Noble and the Poplar school band
furnished music. A large number at
tended from Wolf Point and they
are very enthusiastic in their praise
of the Wide Awake Fair. The ex-
hibits were taken to Poplar today to
be entered at the county fair, and
it is expected that Wide Awake will
bring home some blue ribbons.

Our Jobless Record Holds
 irst Place
(By EARLE REEVES ,

London, Oct. 1e.-Outside of Great Britain and Italy the unemployment situation is improving in Europe. Statistics compiled here today show that the British Isles have more un- employment than any country in continental Europe, but despite the large numbers of idle workmen in this country it is still behind the United States. With the possible ex- ception of Russia the United States probably has bigger army of un- employed than any other nation in the world.
 The number of unemployed in the United States is estimated in Wash ington cablegrams at approximately $500, 900. The number of unem- ployed in the United Kingdom off, ciaIly is put at 1,500,00o. There was a reduction of nearly 3o,00O in the ranks of the unemployed in this coun- try in September. Belgium which took the lead in general economic and industrial rehabilitation after the war, reports that all heA workers have employment.
 Germany is hard at work and the unemployed in that country have been reduced to approximately 1885, 900.

Hateful Week For Cabinet

Berlin, Oct. 10-A fateful week for the wirth cabinet opened today. The ministry must decide without much further delay whether to take within the official fold the German peoples party, representing the industrial and financial back bone of the nanon; or, instead. made the much talked of swing Ieft-ward, admitting the 1nde- Dendent socialists. Admission or the independent socialists would pave the way for a new specialization program with radical taxation measures.
 After dexterously steering a middle course between these two antipodal parties, which provide the balance of Germany's political power the govern ment is today confronted with the inn perative necessity of embracing either one or the other.
 The motive power relentlessly fore ing Chancellor Wirth towards a prompt and clear cut decision is the exchange situation which cannot con tinue at the present rate without bringing a crash which might compel Germany to throw up her hands as a bankrupt and petition the victorious Allies for a receiverShip.

For one thing the Men-o'-McGraw H1ave now decided bulge in pitcn1ng hheir spirits and fighting determine. hion. The Tanks are fighters or course. but they cannot help but feel apprehensive of what IS to come while the Giants have 1t all settled III Their own minds
 Before the series opened numper of keen baseball observers h1nted that they would not be surprised to see The Giants lose the first two games, provided Mays and Hoyt were Tn form This is just what happened;
 In practically the same breath; however, these same observers opined Ehat after once losing to these slab n,ers the Giants would not let it hap pen a second time.
 Manage .McGraw was expected 10 send Artie Nehf back at the Yankees. trbe willy southpaw pitched a bang up game of baseball against Hoyt last Thursday and with three good tull hays of rest he was expected 10 De night for mound duty today III lhe Fifth game of the series.
 To go back to the subject of pitch ling for a moment, let us size up the rivals. ,,,,,z ,,d If he follows his usual custom will not lattempt to pitch him agaln TOT three tdays or before next ThursdaS; DouS has will be ready to come back at Mays again on that day with an even chance of pitching just as good pail;
 The Tanks have HoyI TOT Ioody anu 'uarper for tomorrow or Hug might reverse this order. Hoyt does not fig are to pitch the kind of ball in ms next start that he did in the second game TThe Giants believe they can beat hlm and they do not fear Harper That Hug will start Shawkey again seems anighty uncertain so he has something Of a problem in manipulating ms pitchers
 The Giants with Nehf to pitch today and Barnes to come back tomorrow are much better fixed for McGraw still has Toney and Big Fred is aching for a chance to redeem himself Coio, Dartly cloudy weather was the order as the teams got ready for the fifth game today. The. weather man pre-. siicted probable showers tonight, but cold fair weather for Tuesday.
 In sizing up any ball club or any player it is always well to remember . that famous saying of the late Harry Pulliam-''Take nothing for granted in baseball" Yet those who have fla vored the Giants to win the series From the outset-the writer being them feel now that their beliefs axe about to be Vindicated.

. The general situation in the party continues to be just about the same, a majority of the delegates still try ing to settle on some one man who can unify the factions, while most of the leaders are very pessimistic as to whether this can be accomplished. A reorganization, including the drop ping of several of the present office holders and a, possible substitution of several women, is still talked of
 Referring to the story that the Re- publicans might drop him, Alex Rob- inson said today that he feels confi- dent he will be the nominee for City Clerk again if he wants the position Roblnson states that he is sure that d majority of the delegates are ia Vorab1e to him, but that if it is con sidered for the best of the party for him to withdraw, that he will cer- talnly place the good of his party above his own desires.
 It is stated that the delegates prior to the adjournment of the Republi- can convention were divided in two
 main groups, a group of 15 delegates pledged to the Republican Voters League and 21 other delegates who have disposition to unite for the control of the convention. These T son, nine for Tax Commissioner Ar thur Connor, one for E. c. Spargo, one for Malcolm MacF,ayden and one doubtful. There was no way of get. ting together and the convention was therefore adjourned.
 The Democratic primaries will be held in the schools of the city tomor- row night from 5tto 9 D. m: as an nounced in the call of Town Chairman John A. Cornell. The holding of the primaries is only a formality as there is only one ticket in each district ex- cept the second, which will probably mean that the voting will be light. In the second there is local contest for district leadership between William P. Corr and John J. Ford on the one hand and Patrick Sullivan and John Kemple on the other. It looks at present as though the Corr faction will win out.
 There seems little doubt that when the Democratic delegates assemble in convention, Friday night, at the High school auditorium Frederick Atwater will be almost the unanimous choice of the delegates.

Engineers
 Are Strong
 For Strike

Chicago, Oct. 10-Although tabula- fion of the strike ballots of three of the Big Four Railway Brotherhoods probably will be completed by to- night Warren $. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- sineers said today:
 The result of the voting will not be announced until Tuesday or we'd nesdav, Stone strongly intimated that the ballots show a majority in favor of a strike.
 There is no question about the re- suit" Stone said. ''The men of my union are strong for a walk out"
 The vote of the engineers, railway men declare, is significant of that brotherhoods reputation for conserva- tisn. Other organizations are report ed to have voted as strongly for a strike as have the engineers.
 It is proble that the course of the unions will be decided at a meeting of officials of the Brotherhoods here Thursday.

Wust Suffers
 Painful Burns

Arising from the breakfast table. about 9 o'clock this morning, well satisfied with a hearty meal, Charles Wust, 51 years old. of IFS Pequonnocll street was sticken with an epileptic fit and toppled over on the top of a lighted kitchen range. Although he was not burned, he was cut badly on the back of the head
 When Dr. B. J. Coyle of the Elmer gency hospital arrived, Wust was un- conscious and bleeding profusely from the scalp wounds. After making an examination and closing the scalp wounds with several stitches Dr. Coyle decided the mans condition was not serious enough to warrant his re- moval to a hospital
