BELGRADE proud
OF IMPROVEMENT

BELGRADE Especial Correspond
ence).-One Of the most extensive
civic improvements in Belgrade in
years was completed recently when
crawling work along one Of its prin-
cipal streets was finished. Running
the length Of Broadway, north and
south, and Madison street west as far
as Jackrabbit lane, more than a mile
Of improved thoroughfare invites the
motOrist. The work was finished IN
less than two weeks at a cost of less
than $4,000.
The satisfaction Of Belgrade resi-
dents with the new improvement Is
unanimous. The idea was initiated
with them when they attempted to
raise the necessary funds FER the
work by popular subscription. The
project was later authorized and fl
nanced by the city council.
The fine hard gravel which was
placed on the street after it had been
graded and leveled was taken from
what is known as the Belgrade
flats" and is said to be the best grade
of gravel known. The three-quarter
inch stones which compose it and
which are fast working down into a
compact surface were used at the
result Of an opportunity perceived and
grasped by the town. A stone crush
er, cutting stones to this proportion,
was in Belgrade on another contract.
The gravel and the crusher there, and
the need Of the street apparent, the
people were quick to respond, and the
new highway is the answer.
! The work was done under the di-
rectiOn Of Street Commissioner
Charles Macdonald, to whom credit
is due for the efficiency and expedi-
ton Of the project.

U. S. COURT FACES
BUSY FALL TERM

BUTTE.-The calendar for the fall
term of federal court, which will
open here some time during Novem-
Der, will be the largest in the history
Of the court, it was stated by Leslie
POlglase, clerk. More than 100 cases
are on the list and this number will
be swelled by indictments which will
be returned by. the grand jury next
month, Mr.. Polglase said. During the
three months ending September 80,
cases were filed at the rate of 30 a
month, he stated.
All charges to date are for viola
ton of the Volstead law, approx
mately 100 abatement proceedings
having been filed, Nh. Polglase said.
1t is thought that many Of the cases
will not come up for trial as the
action Of Elias Marsters, district pro-
hibition director, in dismissing one
third of his field staff, will, it is an
ticipated, result in a dearth Of wit
nesses.

EXTENSION SERVICE
ISSUES BULLETIN OF
INTEREST TO WOMEN

Montana farm women will be inter
ested in the new bulletin en- "The
Kitchen" just issued by the Montana
Extension service, prepared by Miss
Gertrude Hoffman, former extension
specialist in home management.
During the last two years kitchen
contests were held in five Montana
counties under the direction of ex-
tension specialists and county home
demonstration agents. Approximate
" 400 farm women enrolled in the
work Of improving kitchens. L. many
cases the improvements made as a
result Of these contests were suffi-
cient to cut the kitchen work of farm
women in two. The contests also
brought out the need for a standard
reference work which would assist
women in the work Of kitchen i'm
provement. The present bulletin is
intended to satisfy that need.
The results Of the kitchen contests
in the state showed many kitchens
can be arranged at little expense 70

often associated with farm kitchens.

IS YOUR ADJUST
AIN "ORDER TAKER"
OR A "SALESMAN?'

Paul Ivey of the University Of
Nebraska went into a store and
asked for a hammer. The sales
nan brought one and said:
That's a mighty fine hammer.
You can't go wrong on it."
Ivey looked it over and waited.
expectantly, for more details.
After a while the salesman ven
tured:
That's a mighty fine ham,
mer. That's a real hammer. We
sell lots Of EN-" =
Again Ivey inspected the ham,
mer, and the salesman declared:
That's a mighty fine hammer,
a real hammer. You'll like It.
We sell lots Of 'em."
ThereupOn Mr.. Ivey left that
store, dug up a mail order eata-
lOgue, and found an attractive
picture Of a hammer with this
description:
"This hammer is made of the
best crucible Steel full nickle
plated. The face and claws are
tempered just right for service
and the claws are split to a.fine
point. They grip firmly and will
not break. The handle is made
of selected second growth hick-
DRY, mahogany finish, and is fas-
tened in with iron wedges so that
it will not work loose
No, Mr.. Ivey didn't patrOnize
the mail order house, but his ex-
perience has shown him the diff
ference between the order taker
and the salesman-alsO between
good advertising and poor adver-
Using.
The catalogue sells its goods
solely through advertising of the
livest kind. The home merchant,
to compete with il, must likewise
advertise-and put punch into
it.-Adapted from Inland Printer.

FARMERS LOSERS
AS GRAIN SCARS
Money Made Now Will Not Go
to Labor or Help Buy
Equipment.
BY j. G. ROYLE.

Special DSpatch 10 Inc Sthr.
NEW YORK. February 3.-Water
over the dam-that is the way keen
visioned business men regard the
high prices for grain now obtaining.
They do not count on these to assure
big sales, quick payments and high
production of manufactured products
in the next three quarters OF 1925. On
the contrary they feel that these
prices are detracting from rather
than adding to the purchasing power
of the agricultural districts.
Most of the producers have sold
their grain. The gain from high
prices to those who have not is more
than counterbalanced by the loss to
other wage earners whose dollar is
not buying as much as 1t did six
months ago. Manufacturers and mer-
chants realize that a world grain
shortage now may be turned into a
grain surplus before the Summer is
over if acreage and weather condi-
lions lend themselves to that end.
Oppose Larger Acreage.
In consequence, bankers and bust
ness men in the agricultural Sec
tions are doing their utmost to pre-
vent increase in acreage devoted to
wheat and cotton. Their stand has
been backed by the United States
Department of Agriculture, which
has advised farmers that while the
general business prosperity Will
probably maintain domestic demand
during the first half of this year, 1t
is bv no means certain that these
conditions will continue.
Bankers and investment houses
which specialize in farm loans are
not looking at the past but the 1u-
ture. Dispatches today from the
great grain centers of the country
state plainly that those farmers who
have not disposed of their crops are
not selling even with wheat above
50 a busheL. They probably VIII not
do so until prices commence to fall
sharply
Farmers Act Individually.
Appeals such as that issued by the
Department of Agriculture have
never been efficacious. The individual
farmer has always displayed ten
dency to 'let George do it, when 1t
came to curtailment of acreage after
a prosperous year. The exceptions
are farmers in cooperative .associa-
tons like the California Faisin
Growers Association who are bound
by agreement to the regulation Of
production.
In this connection. l.. H. Bloom,
secretary of the tractor and thresher
department of the National Associa-
ton of Farm Equipment Manufac-
turers, said: 81 am not predicting a
boom. but in my opinion the industry
faces the most promising outlook
since 1920.
Farms are becoming "electrified"'
all over. the. country. In California
ten thousand farmers wives are
cooking by electricity, and in the last
year the consumption of power along
the lines served by one company
alone rose to 135,3o6.000 kilowatt
hours, a gain of over as,O0o,o0o such

Expert Advice Given by United

ARTICLE NO. %.

Admission taxes are deductible from
gross income in determining net in
Nme, but the taxpayer must show
that account has been kept of the
amount paid during the year. Mere
-uesswork will not be aCcepte d.
Under the revenue act of 1924 the
tax applies only to admissions in
excess of so cents, while under the
preceding act 1t applied to ADM ssions
of 10 cents or more.
Taxes are deductible as such only
by the persons upon whom they are
imposed. Thus the excise taxes i'm
posed upon sales by the manufacturer
of automobile truck or wagon chas ses
cameras, firearms. etc, are not de-
ductible by the individual purchaser,
even though such taxes are actually
billed to him as separate items.
Automob bile license fees are ordinarily
regarded as taxes and the amount
thereof may be deducted Custom
duties paid by a person on articles
which he imports for his own use are
deductible.
License fees levied by the State or
city upon certain businesses are de-
ductible as taxes. The levy may be
based upon gross income of the bust
ness, during a certain period, or upon
the nature of the business (each diff
ferent kind having a different rate),
on the location of the. business, or it
may be a fiat rate applying in the
same manner to each and every
licensed business
The revenue act of 1924 imposes
stamp taxes on bond issues, issues
OF capital stock, sales and transfers
of stock, sales of products for future
delivery, etc. These taxes are allow
able as deductions from gross income
either as a business expense or as
taxes paid. If deducted, of course,
