AFFIDAVIT ON AUTO
FOUND UNNECESSARY

After referring the whole question
to Attorney General L. A. Foote as
to verification of. payment of person
al tax Oh automobiles before license
shall issue, Austin B. Middleton, state
registrar of motor vehicles has decid-
cd not to require applicants to send
affidavits as to payment of tax.
CeTtification by the county treasur-
er or county clerk or any person who
knows whether taxes have been paid,
will be considered sufficient.
The blanks mailed to persons ap-
plying for 1928 automobile licenses
provided that an affidavit, sworn to
before a notary public and testifying
as to the payment of taxes on an au-
tomObile, was necessary. Enforce
ment of this resolution would have
resulted in an unnecessary burden on
the people of Montana and necessitat-
ed the expense of $4,000. The au-
thority to demand an affidavit was
allegedly given by state statute, but
this was questioned by county offic-
erS. The letter received from the reg
istrar in reply to communication
questioning the authority of the reg
istrar to demand affidavit, is as fol-
lows:
"The affidavit or notification which
was required by the 1927 session laws
will no doubt work a hardship on a
number of people. A verification by
your office or by the assessor will be
acceptable, or by the county clerk or
any person in a position to know
whether or not the taxes were paid.
The law requires these statements to
be sent out and after taking the mat
ter up with the proper authorities we
are advised to issue them in this affi-
daivt form" -Kalispell Times.

good by the purchase of new machin-
cry. In the same period the number
OF tractors in use on the farms has
more than doubled, increasing from
246,083 to sos, 1888.
The five year interval has seen a
very considerable increase in the out
put of dairy products with a growing
emphasis on the sale of butterfat.
Ihls indicates that dairy farmers are
being increasingly regimented to
serve the big commercial dairy cor
pOratlOns which supply the cities. In
1924 the farmers produced 9,198, 303,-
633 gallons of milk compared with
1905, 1892 in 1919. They sold g.
666,627, 1867 gallons compared with g.
529,331 AIS; 45,735,6 94 gallons of
cream compared with 1924, $50;
made GAP, 803,267 pounds of butter
compared with 707 ,666, 492 but sold
1,O61 ,O62, 1868 pounds of butterfat in
1924 compared with 32,244,072 lbs in
1919.
The report shows a considerable in
crease in poultry farming. The num-
Der OF chickens increased from $780,
531,127 in 1920 to 409, 290,84 in 1925
and the number of eggs produced
from 1,654, O44,932 dozen in 1919 to
1,913,245 129 dozen in 1924.
One feature of the report shows
that the value of farm products sold
comparatively increased from S721.-
983, 639 in 1919 to 1857, 652,156 in
1924. The full significance of this
gam In cooperation is concealed by
the sharp decline in farm prices in
the interval. The farm level was 500
higher in 1919 than in 1924. If the
farm products sold comparatively in
1924 had been sold at 1919 prices they
would have been valued at approx
mately 81 ,35O,000,000, an increase of
about $40 over 1919.

WESTLAND OFFICES
ARE MOVED FROM
SCOBEY TO MINOT
Many Families Leave Daniels County
Seat When Main Offices of West
fan1 Oil Company are Transferred
to MinOt.

ScObey.-With many regrets but
with every wish for their success and
happiness in their new homes at Mi
not, the people of Scobey said au re-
voir to the big Westland family last
week as they left Scobey for Minot,
where the head office and compound
ing plant of the company is now To-.
Gated.
The Westland family, as they have
become known to the people of this
community, were practically all pio-
neers In ScObey who became affiliated
with the Westland Oil company and
did their bit toward the growth and
success of that firm which a few
years ago was a one man oil station
and under the direction of President
COughlin and Secretary Lindemann
grew to be one of the biggest insti-
tutions in this part of the northwest
and now capitalized at $1,OOO,OOO.
Chas. Grimes, plant foreman; J. P.
Enrlght, accountant; j. B. Townsend.
sales manager; c. A. Ranney, and
Emil Hauge, auditors; Peter Dippong.
warehouseman, and Miss Ethel Mar
lenee, stenOgrapher, are among those
who have been with the company for
some time and had become a part of
Scobey. Mrs. Grimes, Mrs. Enright
and family, Mrs. Randolph and fami-
~, Mrs. Dippong and family also left
last week for their new homes.

longer to finish up head office bust.
ness for the company before moving
to again take up their work at the
company headquarters.
The move from Scobey became nee
essary on account of the lack of pro-
per transportation facilities here
where the compromising plant was To-
Gated. Having extended rapidly and
acquired branches throughout eastern
North Dakota and along the main line
IN Montana, freight shipments of oil
Tor compromising at Scobey and re-
shipped to its branch stations added
thousands of dollars of extra exnense
each year to overhead costs.
When larger offices and a COM
pounding plant with a greater cana
city became necessary, the connanv
erected a fine brick plant at Minot
which also houses offices for the staff
and a new laboratory.
Inc people here, many of whom are
stockholders in the company, are
very sorry to see the head office NOV
ca, and deeply regret the leaving of
the many estimable families. but wish
them all an abundance of hanninesc
ana success at Minot.

Pola Negri In
Woman on Trial
Hit Says Lasky

Jesse L. Lasky, the score keeper
for more stars than any other Pro
ducer in pictures, asserts IN MS
aniet way that Pols Negri has made
her third straight hit in The Wom-
an on Trial"
This new Paramount production
comes to the Queen theater today
when admirers of the great dramatic
actress will have an opportunity OF
Judging for themselves.
Miss Negri is always interesting
always gorgeous, no matter what
her vehicle. But she assures an as
founding performance once given a
suitable background for her talents.
II would seem she has everything
necessary in her latest production
to insure success.
The story Is based on "Confes-
sion" a powerful stage play by Er-
nest vajda, Hungarian dramatist,
who has q long series of splendid
dramas TO his credit.
The setting is in the Latin quar-
ter Of Paris and the theme is n Of
a love so strong that it proved wor-
thy of every sacrifice a woman could
make.
Mauritz Stiller, director, who so
capably handled "Hotel Imperial"
directed Miss Negri in THE Woman
on Trial" Coming on the heels OF
"Barbed Wire" a phenomenal pic
tufe, il shows Miss Negri at her
best in an emotional role Of strength
and excellent motivation. 1t should
be well worth seeing.
