wood last Monday, November 5th. fur
nlshed an occular demonstratiCh that
'SheIldan county has finally and per-
manently taken its place among the
galaxy Of corn states and from now
on Northeastern Montana IS in the
corn belt.
Already every farmer in Sheridan
county is convinced that he should
include a generous acreage of corn in
his farming plans next year; already
there has grown up a big demand for
home grown seed corn; already the
county agent IS receiving inquiries
from outside the county for Sheridan
county grown seed corn and from ev-
cry indication now the growing of
seed corn is going to be one of the
cOunty'S elements of prosperity.
VEGETABLE EXHIBITS
Along with the numerouI and as
tonlshing exhibits OF corn, there was
a remarkable exhibit of vegetables:
there were big onions of several vari-
eties; there were beets, carrots, Tuta-
bagas, parsnips, cabbage, pumpkins,
squash, beans Of all kinds, peas, and
nearly everything else Of the Vege-
tble order grown in the northern
hemisphere. There was also exhibits
Of all kinds of small grains and grass
seeds. There We're an endless exhibit
OF canned vegetables, disclosing the
fact that the housewives of Sheridan
county under the direction of the
county agent have been earnestly
undertaking the preserving and can
ming of vegetables, which fact itself
means revolution in the economy of
Sheridan county. 1t means that when
universally practiced that hundreds of
thousands OF dollars shipped to east
erp points to pay for this kind of
food will remain in Sheridan county.
POULTRY
There were several exhibits of Doul-
try. There were turkeys, geese. ducks
and chickens Of different varieties on
exhibit, showing what is going on in
the county along the line of poultry
production. While this exhibit was
not large it was very good and is the
beginning of a poultry show that will
be q credit to this section Of the state.
FORERUNNER OF COUNTY FAIR
1t was almost the universal opinion
among those attending the Sheridan
County Corn Show, that this exhibit
ton would become one of the perman-
ent institutions Of Sheridan county

THIEVES TAKE THREE
CARS LAST WEDNESDAY

The sheriff's office was notified
Thursday morning that three cars had
been stolen during the night TWO
Fordsand Chevrolet. A Ford Coupe
belonging to bank at Fortuna and a
Ford touring car at Minot and Chew
rolet Sedan at Glendive. It seems that
the thieves are devoting their atten-
ton these DAYS to Ford and Chevrolet
cars, passing up the big ones. The
officers say that the reason for this is
the fact that the cheaper cars are SO
numerous and the offering Of one at
reduced price for cash does not arouse
any suspicion, and also because the
Fords and Chevroletsare much easier
to dispose Of than the larger cars.

COUNTY TREASURER
WANTS THE CASH

County Treasurer Olson along
with the tax notices has sent a
circular letter asking the tax
payers to send in their taxes in
cash, or in postal money orders.
Checks, he says, are not legal
tender and it is against the law
Tor the treasurer to accept them
IN the payment of taxes and they
are only taken as an accommoda-
ton to the public and the tax re-
ceipts cannot be issued until the
checks are cleared and the person
paying taxes in this manner must
take all of the chances or risks.
If a bank should close before the
money is returned on the check
or if the money is lost in any
process of collection, the money
is lost to the taxpayer and not
to the county. Treasurer Olson
says that checks also involve
large amount of extra work and
worry in their collection that is
unnecessary when payment is
made In cash or postal money or
der. 1t is quite easy for the tax
payer to step over to the bank
and draw out enough money to
pay his taxes and tender the same
to the treasurer or if sending it
IN to buy postal money order at
the post Office. In this waV the
taxpayer will get his receipt upon
payment of taxes or by return
mail if paid by money orders.
Many people" " says Treasurer
Olson, "do not understand this. !
and wonder why they have to !
wait so long for their receipts"
