New Parcel Post Scales
Latest Equipment at P. o.

A new set of parcel post scales
with a graded scale at the top which
will tell the weight of the package
and the cost of sending it any par
eel post zone is the latest piece of
equipment installed at the local post
office to help care for the Christmas
rush.
This piece of machinery will save
considerable time for the postal en-
ployees as it does away with any
figuring on zone rates and eliminates
the danger of error.

Herald Subscribers
Attention Please

Beginning January 1, 1926, The Herald will
adopt the Cash Subscription Policy, it being the
only practical and businesslike method. It is the
method now employed by virtually all of the larger
papers and periodicals. 1t is the only policy that is
fair to both the subscribers and the paper.
Any credit policy, whether it be for six months
or SIX years, results in a heavy percentage of loss on
delinquent subscription accounts go to so per cent?
besides costing much time and postage for notices,
and time for changing mailing lists and keeping ac-
counts. This loss is so great that a small institution
like a country newspaper cannot bear it.
Under the Cash in Advance plan we will not be
compelled to ask those who pay promptly to make
up some of the loss caused by those who do not pay
at all. Many subscribers have advised us to adopt
the cash policy. We can and will, therefore, reduce
the price of The Herald from the present rates of
$3.50 and $500 per year to the following permanent
schedule:
In Montana
One Year ----------------- 500 or 1925
Of paid on or before date of expiration, $500; if
special notices have to be sent and a name taken
off and put back on, S2.25)
DIX Months Sl.25
Three Months observation-disclosures S .65
Outside Montana
Con account of zone postage)
One Year $3.50
Six Months S1.4O
Three Months S rs
Subscribers will be reminded of the expiration
OF their subscription by rubber stamp on the papers
margin or wrapper and otherwise. Full subscription
information will always be found at the top of the
editorial page.

sons paper follows:
Our assessed valuation for 1924 was
s465, S32,1O9.
The tax levy for all state purposes
for the same year was S1,3O9,999
This latter item includes the gen.
eral fund levy for the year 1924 of

iod there accrued to the general fund
from fees $64O,s07.
Our assessed valuation in 1908 was
SGT, 5SO,O51. The state tax levy for
that year for all purposes was $419,-
535.
During the biennial period of 1907
and 1908, $136, 1874 fees accrued to the
general fund.
The total tax levy for all state,
county, school, general and special, in
1908 was $1,65s ,73s.37. The tax for
the same purposes in 1924 was $S,207,-
los.

1,843,090 sheep, assessed at an aver
age value of S6.32, or $11,64S,307.
In 16 years our assessed valuation
has increased 100 per cent. In the
same period our state tax has increas-
ed 1000 per zen and our taxes for all
purposes, except municipal, have in
creased 500 per cent.
On September 80, 1908, the state

realize that we cannot prosper as a
people, until we get back to the point
wherefor each dollar tax paid. we will

BOY SCOUTS WILL
GIVE EXHIBITION
ON MONDAY NIGHT

There is one organization in this
city which is neither asking nor get
ting a great deal of publicity but
which, nevertheless, plugs along in ID
consistent way, and is prospecting and
accomplishing something. That Is
the Boy Scouts.
The Scouts meet every Monday
night and the different methods of
developing them into real men are
consistently employed-in order to be
a scout in good standing, it is neces-
sary to adhere to all Scout laws, and
the Cody organization is adhering, or
sticking" to them like real stickers.
Monday night, March 2, has been
selected as the time the Scouts will
demonstrate that they have not been
idle and the demonstration will take
the form of an athletic exhibition, in
which boxing, wrestling, basketball,
| and Stunts will be featured. Then,
Just before the close of the exhibition,
if the spectators think they haven't
had enough entertainment for one
evening, and all for twenty-five cents,
the Presbyterian men will play a game
of volley ball with a team from the
Lions Club, and this alone, should be
worth more than the price of admis-
sion.
The Scout laws are made with a
view to develope the boy physically as
we'll as morally, and the local troops
are entitled to the support of every
person who has the welfare of young
manhood at heart. AS for as can be
learned, there will be no counter at
fractions on the night of this exhibit
ton, and there should be an open av-
nue. for every person who wants to
pass an interesting evening. The ex-
hibition will be given in the high
school gymnasium. and will begin at
1880. Even though you have no boy
who is a member of the organization,
it is a splendid idea to encourage the
boys who are members. You are 60
ing to be there, aren't you? Sure, you
are!

St. Patrick's Day in
the Avenin' is Coming

"St. Patrick's Day in the morning"
won't be one-half so important as the
evenin' for, on that evening the Sham
rock club of this city will give its an
nual dance, and if this one is to be
judged by those that have been given
in other years, it will be a dance that
will appeal to every lover of the terp-
sichorean art. The orchestra has not
yet been engaged, the delay being
caused by a desire to get the best
dance music available. However, this
outstanding event will take place in
the Temple theater, and it will cost
n dollar per couple to get IN, and
you won't be obligated to spend an
other cent during the evening. Spec
tators and extra ladies will be charged
twenty-five cents. The club will have
nothing to sell in the theatre but a
good time, and you pay for that at
the door. !
But, here's another inducement.
Purchasers of tickets also receive
numbered stubs, and the luckiest stub
holders will receive two turkeys, that
is, two drawings will be made, and
two turkeys will be given away. Stubs
viii go with the tickets. one dollar per
and no more. 1t will
turkeys will be given away 1t Will
be an evening of genuine pleasure,
and you may be one of the two lucky
to tote home a turkey.

Cody Enterprise, Cody, Wyoming.
Experience is the best teacher, and
as / have just received a valuable
lesson from experience, l would like
to pass it on to others through the
medium of your paper.
For some time, acquaintance had
been telling me that they found it
more profitable to ship their cream
to outside points than to deliver it to
the creamery in Cody and, while l
never placed full confidence in their
assertions, l at last determined to in
vestigate personally and get the Glow
down" on the matter.
Accordingly, last month, l shipped
ten gallons of cream, eighty pounds
to be exact, to a creamery in Nebras-
ka and then waited for returns. l got
them within due time, and when the
expenses of shipping had been defray-
ed, 1 found myself in possession of
$6.51.
Going deeper into the matter, l
found that l could have procured at
least a four per cent higher test here,
and that / received only 35 cents per
pound butterfat, as compared with
forty cents that would have been paid
me here. Then, there was the freight
to be considered, for of course the
shipper pays the freight. My returns
