AMERICAN LEGION TO
PAINT FOOT BRIDGE
Elect Officers and Lay Plans for Big
Library Benefit Dance.

The American Legion had its regu-
lar meeting for the election of officers
last Thursday evening.
The following list of officers were
elected: Commander, Leo C. Gray
bill; Vice Commander, Louis Mitchell; (;
Adjutant- Treasurer, Ralph Oertli;
Member Executive Committee, VIM.
Carr.
, The Legion plans an open meeting
for all ex-service men on January 10,
to which all ex-service men are cor
daily invited. There will be a sniok-
er, big feed and a program. They
also plan a library dance for some
time in January. A committee con-
sisting of Arne Bakko and DR.. Stew
art was appointed to make arrange
ments. Among the matters already
decided upon is the admission fee for
the dance which has a novel addition,
no pun intended. The admission fee
will be s100 and book. These books
it is hoped will furnish an addition to
the library and the receipts of the
evening will be used to improve the
library in necessary ways.
The crowning piece of the public
spiritedness of the meeting came when
the Legion voted to paint the foot
bridge at their own expense. This
much needed improvement comes as
the aftermath of the successful re-
pair of the bridge by community eff
fort. The color chosen, we under
stand, will be dark green since the
Legion disapproved of Red.
A Memorial day service is also con-
templated at which a number of gov
ernment tombstones will be placed
and dedicated to graves as yet un-
marked. The details have not been
worked out at this time.

BELT HIGH TRIMS eEYSER 1872 IN
FIRST HOOP CAME OF SEASON

The basketball season opened for
the Belt high witty IS to 2 victory
over Geyser on Saturday evening.
At the same time, as a curtain
raiser, the high school second team
won an 18 to II victory over the grade
scout team. In the first game the au-
dience saw some fast basketball. Mrs.
Appleyard's team held the high school
seconds to an even score throughout
the entire session and only foul toss
gave the highs the victory. The short
quick passing of the scouts might well
be followed by the older boys because
the equal of II has not been seen on
the local floor except when the old
town team was In action.
In the main event Geyser brought
down nine men to try out but evident
ly started their best team. Only two
substitutions were made. Their chief
weakness lay in inability to connect
with the basket. They play a good
snappy game and only the strong de-
fense Of the locals prevented them
from making better showing. They
failed to get single field basket and
only two foul shots.
On the part Of the locals Boboth led
the scoring with four baskets and
showed promise of being tower Of
strength to the home team by the
time ne reaches mid-season form.
Remington at safety was master of
the situation at all times but was
thrown out of the game in the last
quarter because of the new rule which
allows only three personals. His
place was taken by Ralph McCafferty.
Frank Gossack, the other guard.
shows promise of being able with
little more experience TO hold up the
honor of 1.-the Gassock family. George
Servoss played his first game at CEN
Ter and started off the game with the
first basket but lack of experience
showed before the close of the game
md he seemed bewildered.
Veikko Auren played forward for
more than half the game but was re-
placed by Probst.
The team gives promise. Inexper-

Home PAPERS

Speaking recently at a Wash
ington State Unity conference,
Charles E. Blackwell, a success
full country merchant located at
Okanogan, paid a high tribute
to the small town paper as an
advertising medium. Hesaid:
There are many lines of pub
licity that the country merchant
can use to advantage, but the
one he can use to best advan-
tage is his home town paper.
venture to say that if the money
spent each year for fancy cal
endars and other knick-knack
give-aways were invested-I say
invested, not spent or donated
in carefully planned newspaper
publicity, the actual net returns
to the advertiser would be ten
times as great, TO say nothing
Of the advantage the small town
paper would derive from the ad-
ditional and much needed reve- <
nue.. And the money would all
be kept at home and in turn re-
spent with the same merchant"

GREAT NORTHERN
SENDS GREETING

Employees Of the Great Northsrn
Railway are given credit for = fnajor
part in making 1928 one Of the msst
successful years in the history Of H.
Hill system; it is emphasized IN Yuls-
tide greetings extended by the con-
pany to its over $4,000 employees and
to its patrons.
The message Of appreciation, boEns
on special Christmas cards to the 60
ployes and contained in an snnounes-
ment to the public Of the Northwest
territory served by the transcontin-
entail line. IL signed by Charimaa
Louis w. Hill of the board Of direct
ors.
In extending the seasons greetings
to patrons and employees of the Great
Northern, Chairman Hill said:
ain point Of volume Of traffic, IL
year 1898 has been the largest In IL
history of the Great Northern Rail-
way, although in net results the ysax
was not 80 profitable to the owners
as some former years have been, ow-
ing to the greater increases in ths
cost of things which go to make up
transportation, its sole product.
"The Great Northern thanks the
people who 80 literally patronised Il
in 1929 and In doing so the Grsat
likewise extends IL thanks
to those faithful. loyal, and efficient
employees who made it possible 10
handle this large volume Of business.
The Great Northern has great faith IN
the men and women who serve IL, n
the fairness Of those whom 1t serves, :
and in the ultimate prosperity of tAa
territory 1t traverses. 1t has endoav-
bred to render more good service to
ts patrons and hopes continually 10
improve that service and to merit
patronage.
ITO all--patron and employe alike
lin the spirit of the season, the Creat
Northern Railway wishes joyous
Christmas and happy and success
'ul New Year"
President Ralph Budd, in letter
accompanying this Yuletide greeting
o the employees, expresses the appre-
.iation of the officials of the Great
Northern for the cooperation given
,y the employees.

NEW FORM FOR
INCOME TAX

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue C. A
Rasmussen of the District of Montana:
Assured by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue of prompt service In furnish
ing the necessary forms, taxpayers
need experience no delay in the filing
of their income tax returns for the
year 1923. The filing period is from
January l to March Is, 1924. On jan
uary 2-the first being q holiday
forms for filing individual, corpora
ton, partnership. personal-service cor
poration, information, fiduciary, and
other returns required by the revenue
act viii be available at the office Of
Collector of Internal Revenue, Helena,
Montana, and the following branch of
fices: Butte, Billings and Great Falls,
Montana. After January 2, copy of
the form desired may be obtained on
written request.
Form 1040A, heretofore used for
diiihk fcAufns oA lHulNiuuai tSl III
come of $4,000 and less, from what
ever source derived, has been revised
and simplified in the interests of the
largest class of taxpayers, salaried
persons and wage earners. The new
form will be used for reporting net
income for the year 1928 of $4,000 and
xLsaflxx o1,~-
wages. Reducing to a minimum the
problem of correctly making out an
income tax return, Form 1040A con-
sists of single sheet in which space
is provided for answers to only three
questions in relation to income: sal
aries, wages, commissions, ETC.; inter
est on bank deposits, notes, mortgag-
es, and corporation bonds, and "other
income" On the reverse side are in
structions. Formerly Form 1040A has
consisted of six pages, the questions
pertaining not only to salaries and
wages, but to income from business,
professions, sales of real estate, and
OtHti oOufNtos II 10 SSlifndItu t1dt
for the year 1923 more than 1000, 900
persons, or 20 per cent of those who
annually are required to file income
tax returns, will use the new form.
Persons, any part of whose income
for the year 1928 was derived from
business or profession, farming, sale
of property or rents, regardless of the
amount, will be required to use the
larger form, 1040. The use of Form
1040 will be required, also, in cases
where the net income was in excess of
$4,000, whether from salary. business,
profession, or other taxable sources.
Formerly Form l040 was used only
for reporting individual net income of
more than $1,000.
Forms for filing individual returns
of income will be sent to persons who
filed similar returns for the year 1922.
1t being impossible to determine this
year the form desired by the taxpayer
whether he be man whose income
was derived chiefly from salary or
wages or from business, profession, or
other taxable sources-the taxpayer
will receive both forms, and is advised
TO note carefully the instructions re-
garding their use.
