TAX COLLECTIONS
BETTER this YEAR

Circle. Mont.-County Treasurer ).
JKendig reports that tax collections
this fall have been considerably bet
ter than a year ago, which is good
indication that conditions are I'M
proving. McCOne county people have
as a whole had from fair to good
crops this year, except the northwest
corner eff county which was hit by
hail and drought. But those that dld
raise a crop have received a good
price, and consequently everybody
has a little money this fall, and as
a result more taxes are being paid
up also.
The total tax collections of McCone
county for month of November, 1924,
was S121,128.61, and nearly $4,000
more than was collected in NOvem-
Der, 1928. The above figures include
current and delinquent tax collec-
lions. Collections for current taxes
were: For November 1924, $1O5,62l.-
/ 80. and Nov, 1928, SOL, 158.28.
+ In the payment of delinquent taxes
there has been a big increase this
year over last year. Delinquent tax
collections fer November, 1924, total
j led S9,531.11, and for November, 1928,
! it was $4,547.18.
AS a whole tax collections have
! been about ten per cent better than

for the coming year, complete. This
paper will be well worth saving for
future reference, as it contains the
local interpretations of the Hicks
Almanac, by Mr.. Petite, for the west
ern, or semi-arid regions. These an
nUal predictions have continued since
1920, when Mr.. Petite made predic-
lions for 1921 in articles in the press,
and lectures that gave Mr.. Petite a
standing as an astronomer and auth
orlty upon the weather that is gain
ing popular favor every year, and this
year promises much in weather pre-
