Claims Phrase Vague.

Bringing Liquor Traffic into the Open.
There are several contentious as to
what this language really means. 1t is
asserted that it means that all places
where alcoholic beverages are sold
should be on the ground floor and the
occupants of the dispensing place not
removed from the public by any screen
or obstruction 1t is also asserted that
1t means that those handling alcoholic
beverages in any way shall make full
and complete reports. which should be
subject to public inspection. showing
m detail all receipts and expenditures,
IN orGer that graft, corruption and
bribery may not be encouraged, hut on
the other hand. retarded. There is
nothing in this bill that can be con-
strued as bringing the liquor traffic
into the open. Therefore, there has
certainly been no effort made to COM
ply with that particular section of the
Democratic platform.
Bill Should Be Rec0mmitted.-For the
reasons hereinbefore stated. this bill
should be recommitted to the COMMITTEES
on District of Columbia.
So-called Smith Bill, II. r. 6148.-
This bill was introduced by Representa-
tive Smith of Virginia. 1t provides

1t prohibits the sale of all other alco-
holic beverages. such as whisky and

BILLINGS BOOSTERS
TAKE FAST HOOP GAME
After Leading Nearly All the Way,
Hardin Lions Lose in the
Final Two Minutes.

Monday evening Hardin basket
ball fans witnessed one Of the
finest exhibitions of the hoop
game ever seen on a Hardin court,
when the Billings Boosters, with
Frank Ward, All-American center,
playing in the tip-off position,
met the Hardin Lions club at the
Hardin high school gym.
Led by the superb basket-shoot-
ing of Frank Ward, the visitors
got the jump on the Lions, and
at the quarter were leading by IA
to II. The game was fast AND
furious, both teams doing fine
work, and at half-time the score
was tied, 1926. In the third
quarter the Hardin Lions set a
fast pace, and were leading "a to
80 when the bell changed. In the
last quarter the Lions kept up
their fast work, with but two
minutes to go were leading Al to
80, when the balloon went up and
the visitors tied the score, then
forged ahead and when the final
gong rang were out in front, 46
to Al.
Frank Ward was high-point
man with eleven goals and two
free throws for a total of "a. Bill

Big Horn County With a Percent
age of 34.S9 Tops Entire
State of Montana,

Clarence R. Keinast, field SUI
pervisor of the Crop Production
Loan division of the Farm Credit
Administration, is in Hardin from
his headquarters at Miles City for
Thursday and Friday business. Mr..
Keinast, while here, will confer
with George w. Gustafson, newly
appointed county agent, with re-
gard to the 1884 crop production
farm loans for this district.
Mr.. Kienast expressed himself
as very much pleased with the
manner in which the farmers and
business men of Big Horn county
have co-operated with the federal
government. The Miles City dis
trict, embracing Big Horn, Custer,
Powder River. Rosebud and Treas
ure counties, leads the entire
state in federal loan collections
and Big Horn county leads the
district with a percentage of 34.89,
the districts percentage being
24.5S%. The mountain district,
embracing all the counties in the
"CoeCAlI PdLG VI Cle SCaLe,
stands second, with 2O.99%.
The above figures are taken
from the report of the federal
crop production loan Office in
Minneapolis.
In conversation with a Tribune
Herald reporter, Mr.. Kienast said:
although it is true that collec-
tiens were better in this territory
during the past year than in the
other districts of the state, our
Office has not brought hardship
upon any farmer by insisting he
pay more than he is in a position
to pay. Much of the 1888 crop is
not yet on the market, being held
for higher prices and the policy
OF the office is not to force sale
at ar inopportune time in order
to receive payment. In this respect
the government is pursuing a lib
eral policy. However, when the
government mortgaged grain is
placed on the market the govern
ment's share must be applied on
the loan"

The Hardin Lions club is for

guarantee was necessary to land
this game, so it behooves the

ity to turn out and help the Har-
din Lions club take in a sufficient
gate to pay out. For this one
game the general admission will

the land taken out of corn pro-
C-ction, providing that if he takes
out more than 80 per cent of his
corn acreage he will not be paid
on that part in excess of 80 per
cent.
The funds necessary to make
corn-hog payments are being
raised by processing taxes on corn
and hogs. Since February l, the
tax has been $1.50 a hundred
pounds on pork and will go to
1925 per hundred on March /.
There is also a tax of five cents
per bushel on corn.
The agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration expects to distribute
to cooperating farmers approx
mately $780, 900, 900 in the corn
hog program.
The tax on hogs is collected
from the first professor, or the
man who kills the hog. In the Or
iginal program there were no ex-
emptions in the payment of the
tax. A recent ruling by the feder-
al administration makes possible
for the hog producer to kill, and
sell or exchange up to 800 pounds
of pork and pork products in one
marketing year without paying a
tax. # he sells up to 1000 pounds
in a year, the first 800 pounds
are exempt from the tax; above
1000 pounds the tax must be paid
on the entire amount.
