IN ST. C0LUMBAN'S MEMORY
Apostle Of France and Italy Was
Great Leader Of Christianity
Thirteen Centuries Ago.

The thirteen hundredth anniversary
Of the death of st. Columbian or Co.
lumbanus, was celebrated recently at
the town of Apprentices, where his tomb
is. The proper date was 1915, but in
that year the World war made the
celebration impossible. so it was post
poned.
Columbanus was the apostle of
southern France and northern Italy,
and, indeed, is regarded as the pioneer
of that remarkable movement which
lasted for 200 of the darkest years of
European history, during which Ire
land supplied saints and scholars to
the Western world.
Columbanus with 20 other monks
left the monastery of Bangor, in the
County Down, in 500. After some
vicissitudes. they settled at Luxeuil,
where Columbanus founded one Of the
worlds most famous monasteries-the
parent of many other monasteries. For
20 years he ruled it and became one of
the great figures of his day. His de-
nunciaton of the vices of-the Mercy

ORIGIN OF "DIxIE LAND"
Name Came From tho $40 Bills Issued
Prior to Civil War by Citizens
Bank at New Orleans.

The Financial Times of London, in
a review of the history of the Citizens
Bank of Louisiana, at New Orleans,
recalls the interesting origin of the
word Dixie" as applied to the South.
1t says:
1.-The Citizens bank was SO closely
identified with the South that it gave
1t the name of Dixie Land since pre-
served in the famous southern war
song, Dixie
1T came about in this way: Prior
to the Civil war in the States, the
Citizens bank had the power to issue
paper money notes. These bills were
issued in denominations Of $40 and
$50, but preferably $40, to the extent
Of a few millions. These $40 bills
were engraved in French, and on the
backs was the French word Dix (ten)

Power From Peanuts,

1t appears that one of the adyan.
tages Of the oil engine lies In its abil-
tty to produce power by burning not
only the cheapest grades Of natural
mineral oils and the by-products of
coal distillation and coke plants, tar
and creosote oils, but also vegetable
and animal oils. Indeed, It can use
peanut oil almost as effectively as min
eral oil. The use of fat oils from veg
etable sources for fuel will, 1t is pre-
dicted, promote Industrial development
in regions where the cost of coal is
prohibitive-in northern Africa, for ex-
ample. and in many parts of our own
country. 1t has been declared that
those oils make 1t certain that motive
power can still be produced from the
heat of the sun. even when all our nat
ural sources of solid and liquid fuels
are exhausted.

A TAXATION FABLE

YEARS ago. when magazines a luxury and the
family subscribed for Harpers around the neigh
borhood, a lad saw illustration in which a savant was
depicted gazing at cafs tail hanging augur
hole in tanners doorframe. The text read: "Now
wonder how the calf got through that small hole"
The lad took it all actual occurrence and told
his mother that any boy would know the had
the tail from hide and stuck it in the hole that the
calf didn't go through the hole at all.
The tale brought mind by a dissertation on
taxation in recent feature article by Dr. Frank Crane
who enjoys large income from the sale of the product of
his brain and pen. Among other things he says
Everybody knows that the value of stocks has
decreased by millions of dollars during the last year.
That means that the public is holding off from
putting its into those industries that employ
labor and make the country prosperous The income
tax therefore, is the enemy of labor and the
of depression and unemployment"
If that isn't word pic ture of the philosopher after
satisfying himself how the calf got through the augur
hole, what is it?
The market value of of no interest save to
those gambling in them and perhaps investors
ious to sell. The immense losses gains

shares or any change in ownership.

form the public that the Office of the
County Surveyor will be cloed until
Thursday, February 18th. Mr.. Ras-
mussen will spend the time looking
after work on his farm near Dag

means to spend the taxpayers money
he finds that the Office does not re-
quire his presence at this time ano
he does not feel that the county should
have to pay him for sitting around
the Office with nothing to do.
The taxpayers of Sheridan county
are very fortunate in having a mar

calibre of Mr.. Rasmussen, who vii

day night. That committee had in
hand the consideration of the metro
politan police law, and consequently
many persons from Butte were pres

The meeting opened in a very pro-
per manner. Rules governing proce-
dure were decided upon. Representa-
tive Cavanaugh talked in favor of
the passage Of the bill. Judge Lamb
in behalf of the Butte police depart
ment, opposed any change in the pres
ent law.
c. S. Jaczman of Butte wanted the
law changed. He cited many alleged
defects and called attention to judg-

could not have been secured were the
law not in existence. He painted 6

HANS RASMUSSEN
STATES CONDITION
OF ROAD FUND
COUNTY SURVEYOR SHOWS HOW
LITTLE MONEY is LEFT FOR
ROAD WORK COMING YEAR.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from County Surveyor Ras-
mussen relating to the funds which
are now or will be available for road
work during the coming year.
Plentywood, Montana.
January %, 1923.
Proudcers News & Taxpayers:
It might interest the taxpayers Of
Sheridan county to know just about
how we are standing and what we
can expect in the line of road work
next year. From now on until July
1st, warrants on the road fund can be
made out to the amount Of about
81, 10000, with bills coming in right
along, so that will not go very far.
Our fiscal year starts July 1st. After
that road warrants can be mde out on
next falls taxes.
Some of you might be wondering
why it is you can not be paid for the
road work you done last summer with
out taking your warrants to the bank
and cash them at a discount, or wall
till next New Year for your money
This is for the simple reason thai
warrants have been made out faster
than money was coming in. At pres
ent time the road fund has ovel
S14,0OO.O0 in outstanding warrants
which it can not take care of unit
next New Years, and before July Is
it will be S15,OOOOO or more; the de
linquent taxes should in time take car
of that amount, but nobody know
how fast they are going to come in
Doing road work for the county an,
discount your warrants or wait
year or more for your money, Will
the county is paying 6 per cent inter
est on the warrants is bad business 70
you and also for the county and tn
sooner we can get down on a cas-
basis the better it is for all concerned
except the banks.
I understand that some Of our Law
makers in Helena are working on
law which would allow the count
treasurer to call in all county WI
rants and pay them out of the sinl
