Preliminary Statement Has Been
Issued Covering Government
Income Tax Returns

New York. lug. 21-Illinois with
S4,962 100000 as the annual aggregate
income of its citizens leads the North
Central States according to compila-
lions which have been announced at
the headquarters of The National Blu
reau of Economic Research, New
York. Illinois receives seven and
One-half per cent of the nations in
come, a figure which is exceeded only
by New York and Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania ranks second with S.,
95S 900 900, while New York tops the
list with a little more than $4,000. 900.
600. These data are taken from adj
vance sheets of Il report entitled Dis

will beissued by the National Bureau
of Economic Research this month.
This study which was prepared by
Oswald w. Knauth, supplements an
eXhauStice investigation of Income
in the United States" upon which the
Research Staff of the Bureau, under
DR.. Wesley c. Mitchell, has been en-
gagged for more than a year.
The East North Central states,
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
redistribution of Income by States"
had in 1919 total income of nearly
$4,000 ,000,0 900, which was % per cent
of the income of the entire country.
At the same time their population
was exactly one-ifth of the total. AS
n group, therefore. their average per
capita income of 1854 was somewhat
higher than that of the whole country
which was 1927. though less than the
1888 average in the Eastern states,
and the figures of 1896 enjoyed by the
Pacific states.
The Middle Atlantic states. New
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
taken as group have over one fourth
of the national income, and with the
East-NOrth Central group and the
New England states have more than
One-half of the total.
The balance ,of income between
that which is due to agriculture and
TO her sources is almost exactly the
same in the liast-North Central states
as for the entire country, about one
sixth. This means that as Il group
these states are practically self-sup-
porting. In contrast, the Eastern
states get only One-thirtieth of their
income from agriculture and must
therefore depend upon food supplies
brought from the West. The Western
states, and most Of the Southern
states. get about one-;nIrd OF their
income from agriculture, and must
therefore ship food extensively in eX-
change for manufactured products.
Detailed figures for the East North
Central states show that while the
aggregate income of Illinois was
about 81 .962 100000, or seven and one
half percent of the nations income,
Ohio came next, with $3,967, 900, 900,
then Michigan with $2,5S2,000,000 and
Indiana and Wisconsin with less than
$1,000 900, 600.
The average incomes of the gain
fully employed in these states varies
as follows.

Michigan was accordingly the only
state in which the income of farm
ers. which includes return on prop
erty as well as labor. was less than
the average income of the gainfully
employed.
The highest average income of
farmers is found in California with
$3.4S5. and the lowest in certain
Southern and New England states,
wherei twas less than $1,000.
These facts are shown in detail in

received the order, the statement is
made that this was the first instance
on record where an order of goods
was delivered by airplane In Montana.
Now comes Fred M. Terrell, mana
ger of the Fergus Motor company of
Lewistown, and disputes the correct
ness of this statement. Ferrell's
claim to the premier delivery of mer-
chandise by the air route is amply
supported by statements from other
citizens of Lewistown. More than a
year ago the Fergus Motor company
received a call from a farmer near
Danvers. The farmer stated that he
was tied up in his harvesting by the
breaking of a part on his Fordson
tractor. An airplane was hitched on
the landing ground just above town.
Terrell ordered his men to get the
part out of stock. Ten minutes later
he was seated in the plane in full
sail for Danvers, 20 miles distant,
and in less than one hour from the
time of the receipt of the order the
farmer had in hand the broken Ford
son part and 20 minutes later had
resumed his threshing work.

PLAN TO OPERATE

DURING WINTER

Recovery Of the construction bust

yanced by next spring that both the
Trident and Hanover plants Of the
Three Forks Portland Cement COM
many will resume operations during
the winter, it was announced In Great
Falls last week by George N. Short,
state sales anager for the company.
The plants have q combined capacity
OF 3, 200 barrels q day and have both
been closed since last March.
Many States Build Roads
Construction Of concrete highways
reached large volume over the
country during the last summer, Mr..
Short stated, several states placing
the greatest yardage since this type
OF material was adopted for hard sur
face roads. In the state Of Washing
ton more than 100000 yards Of
concrete roads were built and in ILL.,
nois, New York, Michigan. Ohio and
other eastern states construction was
conducted on a large scale.
ut will be necessary for the Han
over and Trident plants to both re-
sumo work before next spring." said
Mr.. Short, "for our stocks have run
|so low that there will be no chance
to supply the trade another year
without turning out new material.
We did not close down at all last
winter and went into the new year
with an immense stock of cement on
hand, but the surplus is now nearly
all consumed.
construction in Montana has been
comparatively light this year, but
there is SUBSTANTIAL evidence that 1t
will pick up rapidly with the coming
of another year. Outside of the cities
there is now in Montana 80 lies OF
concrete highways, located in Silver
Bow, Deer Lodge, Yellowstone, Gala.
tin and Fergus counties. Hard sur.
face roads have been built in com.
paratively short stretches, where II
has been placed, but the outlook fol-
rapid extension of the mileage is very
good"
Mr.. Short states that all highway
material men believe that the con.
struction of transcontinental hard
isurface road will be undertaken even.
Itually and that the demand for such
an improvement is growing so rapid
ly that the next few years will prob
ably see the movement greatly accel
Ierated.

Gently, according to inquiries. Also
she was supposed to have had about
$4,000 in government bonds. These
bonds have not been found in either
of the banks. but a receipt for them
was discovered in the cabin. That is
all that the authorities know.
Mrs. Miller had lived tempestu-
Gus life on her little clearing. She
and her husband, who died several
years ago, had made it their home for
about 80 years. After his death she
farmed the ranch and raised cattle,
and when she disposed of about 40
acres and the stock she invested the
proceeds in bonds. She still retained
a small ranch.
Eighteen years ago, according to
the stories told in Norris, the woman
and a hired man were involved In q
shooting scrape. According to the
local version, she and neighbor had
a quarrel over boundary line. With
the hired man, Mrs. Miller was said
to have started for the neighbor's
place, both armed. The neighbor saw
them coming. When they laid down
their rifles for a moment, fire was
opened upon them. The hired man
was shot through the hand and Mrs.
Miller through the lung. She recov-
cred from the injury and resumed her
labors about the ranch as II nothing
had happened. Recently she had
been doing her own work.
"And fighting her own battles,
too," said one Norris man.
About two years ago Boden was In
volved in little affair with George
Hoffman. There was some shooting
in the hills near Boden's cabin. AS
result both Boden and Hoffman

Fall Flowing for Alfalfa

Where alfalfa is to be grown under
irrigation, it is preferable to have
the land plowed the fall previous to
sowing, as this makes the seed bed
firm. On the dry land farm it is
almost always best to summer-till
the land or to plant it to some inter-
titled crop like corn or potatoes the
season before sowing alfalfa.
