COURT HOLDS
1887 CHAIN STORE TAX
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

In 3 TO decision, the state su-
preme court has held that the 1887
chain store tax is unconstitutional
because of its faulty enacting
clause. As a result of the decision,
handed down in suit brought by
the Vaughan-Ragsdale Company of
Billings, the state will refund eight
Tax payments totaling $4,000 made
under protest
After the 1887 legislature passed
the law, it was brought out in court.
the enacting clause was changed to
read BE it enacted by the people
of the state of Montana" while il
should have read BE it enacted by
the legislative assembly of the state
of Montana" In arguments before
the court, John A. Matthews, men,
Der of the state board of equaliza-
ton, said the mistake was the fault
of a ''fuzzy-headed stenographer."
The 1889 legislature corrected the
law. but the taxes to be refunded
were paid under protest between
the two sessions and while the law
had faulty enacting clause. The
majority opinion was written by
Associate Justice Claude F. Morris
with Chief Justice Howard A. John
son and Associate Justice Sam V.
Stewart cOncurring. Associate Jus
tees Albert H. AngStman and Left

Paper Matches, 1852 Of
Them Go to Make Violin

TARENTUM, PA-A violin made
from paper matches is the latest
work of Jimmy Work, Allegheny
valleys most unusual hobby man.
This is not the first time that Work
has fashioned vielins out of strange
materials. Once, he built a violin
made of paper held together by
large quantities of glue. Another
time he made a fiddle of wooden
matches.
The instruments are not mere
toys, either. Work plays them at
social events, church affairs and
amateur shows throughout the dis
trict. The tone quality is consid-
cred fairly good.
Work used 1862 paper matches
for his latest instrument. It took
him 227 hours to complete the job.
His total cash outlay was Is cents.
The violin made with wooden
matches required 100 hours and cost
so cents. He used 1875 matches.
The paper fiddle has % layers of
paper on the top, II on the bottom
and IL on the sides. A piece of
sugar cloth was placed between
each six layers of paper.

down his nose. Somehow now he
didn't feel bit smart Just very,
very small and helpless. How he
did wish he was at homei
But wishing wouldn't get him
there. The first thing for him to
do was to find a safe hiding place.
He wiped away his tears and start
ed back along the little path that
had led him nowhere. He took the
first branch he came to and fol
lowed that 1t seemed as if there
would be no end to the green walls
OF grass stems and overhead the
green roof made by the meeting of
the grass blades. OF course, he
couldn't see where he was going or
what was going on in the Great
World. But neither could any of
those who might be looking for a
tender young Meadow Mouse see
him. He didn't think of that, how
ever, and presently he decided that
somehow he would have a look
around. A tall mullen stalk close
by the path gave him the chance.
1t pushed its top way above the
grassy roof Mite scrambled UP.
When he pushed his head through
the grass roof the bright light of
jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun made
him blink.
Hardly did he have time to get
used to the bright light and really
begin to see something of the Great
World when he discovered a tire
mendous great creature close be-
side him. Mite hadn't believed that
the Great World was big enough
to hold such huge creature, and
he nearly lost his balance and fell
from sheer fright. Perhaps it would
have been better for him if he had,
for just then a terrible thing struck
him and knocked him ever so far.
He fell on his back in the tall grass
with all the breath knocked out Of
him and feeling very faint and dizzy.
He knew that whatever had hit him
had had something to do with that
terrible creature he had seen, bat
that was all he knew.
"Oh, dear" he sobbed, 81 wish I
was homel I wish ! was home!"
And all the time Bossy the Cow,
who had found the bar down and
had wandered into the tall grass
Of the Green Meadows, drove away
the bothersome flies by switching
her tail back and forth, and didn't
know at all that she had knocked
all the wind out of a poor, wee,
little, lost Meadow Mouse.

this until this branched, and here he
turned off again. BY this time he
was quite sure that no one had seen
him. and SO, of course, that no one
was following him, and he began to
enjoy his freedom. It was very de-
lightful and cool down there, with
walls of grass stems on either side,
and with a green roof where the
grasses met above the little path
and through which the merry little
sunbeams crept here and there.
Every few minutes Mite stopped
to sample tender, young, juicy
grasses, and once, to his great de-
light, he found a strawberry. Later
he caught sight of a fat cricket just
disappearing around a turn in the
path, and with little squeak of
excitement he started after it. But
when he got around the little turn in
the path the cricket was nowhere to
be seen. Mite hunted until he was
tired. Then he sat down to rest.

time 1 started back home" Right
then and there he received the first
of many rights which were to be
his before he should again see the
dear old home under the pile of old
cornstalks on the edge of Farmer
Browns cornfeld. Yes, sir, he re-
ceived fright, a very great fright.
He didn't know where home was!
He, Mite Meadow Mouse, who was
so smart and clever, had lost him.
self the very first thing. He had
come along so many paths that he
couldn't remember which was which.
Right away little Mite did the very
thing that most people do when they
find that they are lost-he began to
rum. Yes, sir, Mite began to run
as hard as ever he could. He didn't
feel tired any longer. ALI he could
think of was getting home, and he
acted as if he thought that just run
ming would get him there. Now, Of
course, it would have got him there
if-if he had been running in the
right direction. But he wasn't, and
so the faster he ran the further he
got from home. And as he ran,
little Mite cried. Yes, sir, he cried.
He suddenly felt very, very small
and so dreadfully lonely. Those dan
gers he had so foolishly laughed at
now seemed very real and near.
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun had
hidden behind a cloud, and so no
merry little sunbeams frightened
the little path. And at last the lit
tie path ended. Little Mite sat down
and cried. He just couldn't help it.

Farm Return Is
Down for 1888
Growers Share of Consumer
Dollar Is Lowest in
Four Years.

WASHINGTON.-Last year the
farmers share Of the consumers
food dollar-40 cents-was the
smallest in four years, according
to the bureau of agricultural eco
nomicS.
This means, the bureau explained,
that out of every dollar paid by a
city worker for a farm product 60
cents went to processing, transpor-
tation and selling costs and only
40 cents to the producer of the raw
product.
The study included a representa-
tive list of So foods. The farmers
share Of the food dollar in 1887
was IS cents, a cents in 1886, AZ
cents In 1885 and 81 cents in 1894.
The 1913-15 average was SO cents.
Food Prices Down 8 Per Cent.
A drop of per cent in the retail
value of the SO foods last year, COM
pared with 1887, was borne almost
entirely by producers, it was shown.
Processing, transportation and dis
tribution charges declined l per
cent.
The bureau estimated that the
average city workers family last
year spent 1921 for the So princi-
pal foods. Of that amount farmers
received $3.50 and those who han
died it between the farm and the
family food basket divided $191.
In 1897 the family food bill was
1858, of which the farmer received
$3.50 and the others S193. The study
showed that the spread between
what the farmer receives for the
raw product and what the city worl.-
er pays has increased steadily in
the last Is years. 81
Producers Percentage Cut.
In the 19l3-15 period the average
workers family paid s256 for the So
foods, the farmer receiving $135
and all others $121. In the boom
period Of 1929 food costs reached a
high of $415, Of which the farmer
received $195 and the others 500.
The low point both in the cost Of
food and the percentage received
by farmers was reached in 1892,
when the total cost was $270. In
that year the farmer received $88
Of the family food budget and all
others $182.
can improvement in 1889 consum-
er income over 1888 such as is now
anticipated should lead to some in
crease in the proportion of the con-
sumer's food dollar received by
farmers" the bureau said.

Invention Of stabilizing device per-

fore unheard of low speeds and to
take off after a run of 10 or SO feet
is claimed by Daniel Thompson, a

Thompson believes the invention
will be invaluable for bombing
planes In war times because the
speed can be checked to 10 or Is

greater accuracy.
The device, adjusted to the motor

Linking Atlantic, Pacific Coasts

On May 10, 1869, the first trans
continental railway in the United
States was completed when two en-
gines. one moving westward on the
Union Pacific and the other moving
eastward on the Central Pacific,
met at Promontory Point, Utah.
Here took place the ceremony of
driving the last spike in this, the
first railway linking the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. AS this spike was
driven, an electric spark gave the
signal which sent telegraph mes
sages all over the nation clicking
of the words: Zone, two. three
done!" The line provided the first
rapid and reliable mail service
across the continent and the news
Of its completion was joyfully re-
ceived throughout the nation, elab-
crate public demonstrations being
held in many OF the larger cities.

ger. You see, he had a very good
opinion of himself, had little Mite,
such a good opinion Of himself that
he thought he knew more than DAN

his head to hide smile when Danny
would tell how dangerous it would
be for one Of them to so much as
peep out from the shelter of the pile

which was their home.

and when no one was looking he
had slipped out along one of Dam
ny's private little paths. He scam
pered along it as fast as ever he
could, fearing that he would be seen
and called back. He took the first
path that branched off and followed
