CHURCH AMI CLUB
SALE OF
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Most Rev. Ralph l.. Hayes, bis
hop of the diocese of Helena, has
endorsed the Christmas seal sale
of the Montana tuberculosis as
ISOLATION in the following letter
to Mrs. Henrietta Crockett, exec
tive secretary:
81 trust that you will have the
greatest possible success in the
sale of the Christmas Tubercu-
losis Seals.
Experience has proved that
much can be done to eradicate this
dread disease. 1t is largely a
problem of education. The period
from which we are emerging will
have evil physical effects upon
the growing generation. Medical
authorities and social workers are
agreed that one of the most press
ing problems will be to prevent
the inroads of the White Plague
in the lives of so many children
who are now receiving insufficient
and improper food.
An appeal from Mrs. R. E.
Brown, Bozeman, president of the
State Federation of Woman's
Clubs, has been sent out in the in
terest of the Christmas seal sale
to all Women's Clubs throughout
the state.
when such a little help in time
might save a life; when a little
help from each of us makes the
generous total that will save
many lives, surely we will not be
too small-spirited to give now
what assistance we cam" writes
Mrs. Brown.

GROWERS WARNED
ABOUT HOG TAXES
Record of Processed Pork
Must Be Kept During
Given Period

Lewis Penwell, collector of in.
ternal revenue, states that it has
been brought to the attention OF
the collectors office by the com
missioner of internal revenue, Guy
t. Helvering, that in many in
stances farmers and others are
slaughtering hogs and selling the
products to consumers without
paying the processing tax. This
is a violation of the agricultural
adjustment act and regulations
which provide that any person
who slaughters hogs and parts
with ownership thereof by sale
barter, trade or exchange must
file appropriate returns and pay
the processing tax thereon.
Regulations 81 and treasury de-
cision 4406 require professors to
keep an accurate record of all
pork %processed during a given per-
iod. Returns are required to be
filed on a monthly basis reporting
the processing tax accrued as q
result of the commodity processed
during the month.
The tax is computed on the live
weight of the hog at the time OF
slaughter. This tax applies even
in the case of the producer who
slaughters his own hogs and sells
or otherwise disposes of all or any
part of the products.
Butchers who buy dressed hogs
from farmers or others will be re-
quired to retain an accurate record
of such purchases, as to the name
and address of the parties from
whom purchased and the exact
weight of pork purchased from
each party. Butcher shops Shout
live up to this requirement in ev-
cry respect so as to protect them
selves from a possible liability.
says Mr.. Penswell.
The only time when hogs may
be slaughtered by any person
without payment of the processing
tax is when the producer slaugh-
tiers or has slaughtered his own
hogs for consumption by his own
family, household or employees
In such cases, where the producer
has someone butcher the hog OF
hogs for him for use within his
own household, he will be required
to furnish the butcher or slaugh-
ter-house with an affidavit to that
effect on a prescribed form.
Heavy penalties are provided
for violation or evasion Of the tax
and any person who sl~aughters
hogs and sells all or any part
thereof, should confer with the
collector of internal revenue for
his district who will have some
one assist him in preparing and
filing the required return.
