Do you believe that only one
American family in every four has
an income of $1,000 or more a year?
And do you also believe that only
one family in every IA has an in
come of $4,000 or more a year?
If so, you believe that the ma
tional income tax totals for 1922 tell
the true story. How much is hidden
by small incomes as well as the
big ones?

Fewer than seven million Amerj-

KHAN COMES INTO

That the knights of the Ku Klux

been brought into the open forum of
publicity through its sponsorship OF

which are soon to be submitted to pop

MODERN WOODMEN IN

FOR 500 MEMBERSHIP IN
CITY OF BOHEMIAN

Members of Modern Woowmen of
America in Bozeman will be interested
in the fact that it made a marked
growth during 1923. Its report just
filed with the State Insurance depart
ment, shows that it issued 1872, 900
benefit certificates, with a net in
crease in membership during the year
of 34,771 and $685. 900 more in
curance in force. The business done
was about one-third greater than that
of 1922.
Growth in membership was distri-
buted over AZ of the 45 states in which
the society writes new business, and
only two states failed to show a gain
in the amount of insurance in force.
For the society's field workers the
slogan is Make it more in twenty

already apparent. April has been

CANNING INDUSTRY
BIG COUNTY ASSET
Continued from Page One.l
Plant Opened In 1920

Plant Opened In 1920
The plant of the Bozeman canning
company is located in the north edge
of the city of Bozeman. The present
company took charge of this plant and
first operated it in the year 1920, and
during the first. year of their opera
tons canned 10000 cases of peas.
Since that time addition buildings
have been constructed and additional
and expensive machinery installed, so
that ii the year 1923, $500 900 in
working capital was used in the gath
erinT and handling of their produce.
II 1921, 41,O0O cases of peas were
canned. and the volume of peas grown
ana the capacity Of the plant has in
creased so that in the year 1923,
100000 cases of canned peas was
the output Of the cannery. This pro-
ductiOn means that in the year 1923,
the farmers in Gallatin county ada
cent to Bozeman raised 1000 acres of
canning peas. for which they received
ISL COO, or an average of a little over
$4,000 per acre. The highest individu-
al yield per acre amounted to S104.44.
The canning company paid $4,000 for
labor in the factory and for field work.
II order to handle this product, the
Gaming company used 40 carloads of
empty cans, four carloads of salt and
one carload of sugar. Sixty kegs of
wire nails were used in making wood
en- cases and six barrels Of water
glass were used in sealing fibre cases,
and five carloads of coal and 10000
gallons Of gasoline were used for fuel.
The number of acres utilized in grow
ing peas for the cannery has increased
from $40 acres in 1920. in which year
four wineries were used, to 1900 acres
in 1928, the product of which it re-
quired 10 wineries to handle. During
the year 1923. there were $500, 900
fvO-pound cans filled with Gallatin
valley peas. During the season, 100
carloads of peas were shipped to Ii
different states and seven carloads
were shipped to Canada. Peas were
shipped as far north as Edmonton,
Canada, as far south as Texas, as far
west as California, and as far east as
New York.
Soil Is Perfect
The management of the canning
company states that the Gallatin val
lev is especially well adapted to the
growing of canning peas, on account
Of its heavy lime soil, abundance OF
water for irrigation and cool weather
during the growing season. That II
order to obtain the best results il

should not be too large, as intensive
cultivation and poper handling of thu
land is necessary. The fields SHOULD
be leveled St that the crops can b.

time the peas are harvested tn

Melbourne Cops
Wages Higher as
Result of Strike
tBy The Federated Press,

MELBOURNE, Australia. - Altho
the policemen who went on strike at
Melbourne as a protest against
espionage in the service, were not re-
instated in their former positions
they forced the state government of
Victoria to abolish spying and grant
better conditions and wages.
The government has introduced
legislation granting the policemen
pensions on liberal scale, increased
privileges, no espionage, higher
wages, and special allowance for con-
spicuous services.
Most of the policemen who went
on strike have been given jobs in
other government departments, main
ly on the government street cars.
The government found them the jobs
because Of the strong public opinion
behind the men, but refused to rein
state them as policemen because of
a former proclamation announcing
that they would not be reinstated.
One gratifying result of the strike
is that the ex-policemen are now all
good unionists and in their new jobs
are getting better wages and work
ing conditions than they were in the
police service.
