Cat Returns. to It's
Owners at New Home

Blue EARTH. J. Lannon, who
recently moved here from Muir
dock, has found that there is more
that poetry in the song, "The
Cat Came Back" in which the
harassed hero of the lyric be-
moaned the fact that no matter
what steps he took to eliminate
his feline pet, puss kept showing
up, ready for more. For years
Lannon owned a large. cat of un-
determined pedigree, but with ex-
cellent mouse-catching propen-
sites. At his Murdoch produce
station the cat kept vermin of the
neighborhood in a constant state
of fear of sudden death, but when
the Lannon family moved to Ben
son there was no longer room for
a mouSe-catcher. Puss was pro-
vided with an excellent home on
the Terry Murphy farm north of
Benson, where he remained for
two weeks and then became lone
some for the Lannon's. One NOR
ming he showed up, meowing a
cheerful "good morning" at the
front door. He had found his way
back, not to his old home at Muir
dock, which might not be strange,
but to the new home in Benson.

ministrator, said MIR. Brett could mot
be praised too highly for his work with
the liquor board and that he had been
instrumental in. raising the states
liquor business to its present profitable
basis.
c. H. Brown of Portland, district
manager for Calvert in Montana, Utah,
Wyoming and Oregon, expressed his
firms satisfaction in obtaining the
services of Mr.. Brett, and added he
"felt sure the association would be of
mutual advantage to the firm and the
state liquor system"
A native of Butte, MI. Brett was
Silver Bow county treasurer from 1925
to 1929, and during his residence in the
mining city always took great interest
in social and civic events. He is a past
state president of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles, and past Grand Knight of
the Butte council of knights of Column
bus. He is also a member of the Butte
chapter of Elks.
From 1898 to 1887, Mr.. Brett served
as state treasurer. He was appointed
assistant administrator of the liquor
control board last March 10 by Gov
ernor Ayers, and with Administrator
Wass, put the states new retail sales
law in operation on April S, when it
became effective.
MI. Brett's statewide acquaintance
ship was a valuable asset in getting the
new law into effect, and for several
months he took charge of issuing IL
censes and conducting inspections of
establishments applying for permits to
retail liquor.
1T is with genuine regret that I
leave the liquor control board" Mr..
Brett stated, land I shall always have
its interest at heart, but I felt I could
not turn down the Calvert company's
Offer"

COIN
IS TURNED DOWN
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS OP-
POSE ISSUANCE

The Lewis and Clark National
association may have to get along
without a commemorative coin to
the Indian heroine, Sacajawea, who
led the Lewis and Clark expedition
across the LOlo trail on their trip
to the Pacific.
Both the president and members of
the House coinage and weights and
measures committee at present oppose
further issuance of Commemorative
coins. Investigation, they said, shows
the practice is an expensive one.
More than 100 commemorative coins
have been authorized by congress.
None honorS a woman. The Memorial
association officials thought it was
time something was done about it and
brought forward the name of SAGA
jawea.
The Memorial association has asked
Idaho congressman to sponsor legisla-
ton in the hope of getting the new
issue, but officials expressed doubt
that any such proposal would get be-
yond the committee, which last session
voted against further commemorative
issues.
The Lewis and Clark Memorial as
ISOLATION has as its main objective the
completion of the Lewis and Clark
highway between Lewiston, Ida, and
MiSsoula, Mont.
The famed Indian is buried in Wy
oming.

Fifteen-Y ear-Old
Hunter Bags Deer
With Small Rifle

Thomas Hopkinson, IS, got his first
deer a few days ago. It was a three
point buck, weighing 165 pounds.
Thomas is the son of MI. and Mrs.
T. Hopkinson Of the Western Fruit
Express. He did odd jobs to pay for his
hunting and fishing license.
After having been out hunting all
afternoon his father got anxious when
the lad did not show up about S o'clock
and drove out to meet him Oh see what
happened.
He met one of the companions of his
son running toward town who told him
that Thomas got a big buck. Mr.. Hop
kinson could hardly believe this true
as his son only had a % rifle. He
found, however, that the story was true,
and Thomas, was found in possession
Of the deer. He got the big fellow with
one shot through the ribs and into the
heart.

Willow Creek Man
Learns Sad Lesson

You may think it's a good idea to
destroy old letters, but don't mention
it to Fred Ballard of Willow Greek. He
knows better.
Mr.. Ballard was preparing to leave
Willow Greek for his daughters home
in Oregon recently when he decided
to burn accumulated letters.
After the housekeeping was over,
Mr.. Ballard discovered he had destroyed
the letter containing the postal money
order which was to pay for his ticket
to Oregon.
He has taken the matter up with
postal authorities in an effort to re-
cover the money.

Nail DoIOa Recovery

The capital gains section of ths
income tax law tunder which an In
vestor is taxed on any appreciation
of his capital in the event he sells)
diverts from commerce and industry
tremendous amounts OF capital pro-
fits, which would otherwise be EN-
ployed to accelerate business and
private employment, and spur re-
covery. 10 discourages building uI
new capital.
Morris S. Tremaine, Comptroller
of New York State, who is a strong
advocate of repeal of the capital
gains levy which would in no way
affect taxation on actual earned in
come, gives an illustration: A veal
thy man buys 10000 shares of a
stock selling at 80 for an investment
of 100000. If he sells when the
stock reaches 20, he has a profit of
100000. Half of that must be paid
to the government as capital gains
tax. "The natural reaction Of most
people," says Mr.. Tremaine, ''is that
il a man has made a 100000 profit
he should be glad to share 1t $3.50
with the government. If that were
the end of the story would agree
with that view. But he doesn't sell!
The story doesn't end there at ALL"
For. Mr.. Tremaine continues, If he
turned his security into cash he

KENT COUNTY VISITED
BY BAD STORM MONDAY
Dover Firemen Answered Two
Alarms; Damage Was Slight

A severe electrical storm visited
the central section of Kent county
on Monday afternoon and resulted
in considerable damage. There were
several downpours of rain during the
storm.
During the storm lightning struck
the houses owned by John Hurley
and Mrs. George Hovington, both of
Dover, and Frank S. Prickett, south
of Dover. The lightning struck Chin
neys on all three properties and tore
some shingles from the roof of one
of them.
The Robbins Home Company of
Dover was called to the Hurley and
iiovington properties but found that
the damage at each place was only
slight other than the damaged chim-
neys.
During the storm a number of
trees at various places throughout
Dover were blown down as were al
SO a number of branches.
Camden also felt the full effects
of the storm and a number of the
large trees in that town were blown
down. The Camden firemen assisted

After leaving this building one
comes to the live stock at the most
extreme eastern end of the fair
grounds where the swine section is
located. The exhibitors certainly
give their prize animals attention. II
is a known fact that one exhibitor
actually gave his ten hogs a sham
poo after arriving at the fair
grounds in order to have them look
their best, at least until the judges
have made their decisions.
Crossing over the midway are the
cattle barns, horses and mules,

After spending a few hours in this
group it is time to wet your whistle

is the rabbit exhibit and directly
next to it is the Future Farmers of

machinery of all kinds is exhibited
for the benefit of the modern Mr..
