started preparations this week

"refreSher courses" to thousands
of young men for the Army Air
Forces, Chairman c. Sam B.

pointed to the recent request by
Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox that the Order cooperate
with the Navy in the procurement
of Naval Aviation Cadets and said
that this program had already
earned the praise of Navy Of

observance of the week are being
prepared by a committee COM
posed of Chas. Falk, P. J. Ross,
Theo. Douglas, Geo. Lucas and
Blake Craft, chaplain, and de-
tails will be made soon.

Many Take Troining
In Fire Fighting
Methods

I'VE are very much pleased, in
deed, with the fine cooperation we
are receiving from everyone in
building up force of men to fight
forest fires this year." said G. H.
Duvendack, assistant supervisor OF
the Kootenai forest while discus
sing work that had been done over
the weekend in the north end of
the county. 1--WE held cooperative
fire training schools at Fortine on
Saturday and at Eureka on Sun
day. Seventy-seven took the train
ing at Fortine and a goodly num-
Der turned out at Eureka also for
the training We appreciate this
cooperation highly and if we should
have some bad fires this summer,
this willingness to step into the
breach and help will be highly i'm
portant to the saving of the for
ests.' Eleven forest service men
assisted in giving the instruction and
it is understood similar schools are
to be held elsewhere soon. Those
who have taken the training will
later be organized into what will
be known as coop crews.
In continuing the discussion, Mr.
Duvendack said it should be remem-
bered that where a man takes one
days training in fire fighting, he
becomes eligible for a wage rate of
10 cents an hour, while those who
do not have training come under
the standard rate of As cents an
hour

Urges Care
In Use Of
Cars, Trucks
Head of USDA Board
Gives Advice To
Lincoln County Farmers.

Tires and repair parts for farm
cars and trucks will become in
creasingly scarce during coming
months and rigorous conservation
efforts should be undertaken i'm
mediately to get every bit of wear
possible out of present equipment,
E. F. Staples, chairman of the Lin
coin County USDA War Board to-
day warned farmers and ranchers
you should drive your car and
truck as carefully as though you
weren't expecting a replacement tire
or repair part for the duration, y
Staples said. Immediate thought
should be given to ways of cutting
down on driving, such as Share
your-car' and "share-your-truck"
methods of neighborhood pooling.
All of us should drive just as little
as possible, but when trip is neces-
sary, it should serve more than one
family"
The tire situation is far more
serious than most people realize
he stated. Japan has captured the
Far Eastern area which used to
furnish SO per- cent of the u. S.
rubber. The stock pile on hand is
being used rapidly for military
needs and there will be no new tires
for civilians. 1t will be some months
before there will be much syn
thetic rubber produced and most of
this will go for war purposes. SIM
ilarly, crude rubber from Brazil
and from the guayule plant, as we'll
as reclaimed rubber, must be used
to win the war rather than to make
tires for civilians"
Preference ratings with local tire
rationing boards won't do any good
when the tires are gone, nor will
there be any more repair parts af-
ter supply shelves are cleaned, Sta
Piles declared.
It's a case Of no tires, no new
trucks and shortage of repair
parts. But / know that we can lick
this situation instead of letting it
lick us. Well have to get back to
the old-time spirit of pioneer neigh
borliness and work this out togeth-
er. Our job is to produce the food
that will win the war and get it to
market. / know we can do both, =
Mr.. Staples concluded.

SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION

ANY SchO0l board wishing TO pay
transportation must first pass a
resolution to that effect. Trans
portation for high school students
will be paid by the high schools.
Parents should see Board of
Trustees of district having a high
school to arrange for transportation
for their children at the very ear
liest date. Contracts will be made
out between the high school or the
elementary school and the parents.
These must be made out before Au-
gust l. Unless contracts are made,
individuals will not receive any
transportation. Contracts will state
the specific amount that each par
ent will receive.
State transportation will be re-
endorsement to the district and not
to the parents. Transportation will

from the nearest open public sec
ondary or public elementary pub
lie school (disregarding district
and county boundary lines) of
the state Of Montana; or whose
residence is one and one-half 1i2)
or more miles over the shortest
practical road, from the nearest
point of an established public
school bus route, provided that
such child must reside with his
parents or legally appointed guard
ian and his parents or guardians
must maintain a permanent home
within the boundaries Of the dis
trict paying transportation. Pro-
vided further, that his family or
part of his family may move into
another district for school purpos-
es; and he may live with his family
or part of his family in another
district for the duration of the
school term for which he is collect
ing transportation, or he may board
and room away from home for the
duration of the school term.
The schedule for paying for in
dividual transportation is.
3 miles to less than 5 miles-25c
per day attended, 10c for each adj
dltional child not to exceed 55c
per day.
5 miles to less than 7 miles-30c
per child; 10 cents for each addi-
tional not to exceed 85c.
u miles to less than IL miles-40c
per child; 10c for each additional,
not to exceed 85c per day.
IL miles or oversize per child,
10c for each additional not to ex-
coed $100 per day.
This schedule shall not be SO con-
strued as to permit elementary and
high school pupils to be counted as
coming from separate households,
except when said children are COM
PEELED to attend public schools in
entirely different communities
When elementary and high school
children from the same family at
tend school in the same community
the allowance for individual trans
portation shall be prerated between
the elementary and high school
funds, in the proportion that the
number attending each such school
is to the total attending from such
family.

$500 Use Stamps
Must Be Bought
This Month

Collector of Internal Revenue,
Lewis Penwell, announced today
that auto tax stamps in the denom-
NATION OF $500 were placed on sale
In all post offices and offices of Col
lectors of Internal Revenue on We'd
nesday, June 10, 1912 The stamps
VIII evidence payment of the tax
for the fiscal year beginning July
|, 1912, and must be purchased on
or before that date. The stamps
Will be serially numbered, will be
gummed on the face, and will have
provision on the back for entry of
the make, model serial number and
State license number of the vehicle.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue said he had been advised by
the Office of Price Administration
that, IN the issuance and use of gas
oline rationing books. an important
identification will be the serial
number. printed on he-use- tax
stamp. In those areas where gaso-
line is being rationed and in those
areas where gasoline will be ra-
toned, possession of the stamp evil
dencing payment of the use tax on
motor vehicles will provide one of
tho uacaccarxy yraare of ;dart;fx,;rr<
the coupon book with the vehicle
IN the securing of gasoline.
Mr.. Penwell said that, to guard
against loss or theft, it has been
suggested that, when affixing the
stamps, the vehicle owner should
dampen the windshield rather than
the adhesive side of the stamp.
This method has been recommended
to keep the stamp intact upon the
windshield. AS an additional pre-
caution, it has also been suggested
that each motor vehicle owner
should make a record of the serial
number which appears on the use
tax stamp in order that there may
be some means of Identification in
connection with gasoline rationing
in the event the stamp should be-
come lost.
Every owner of motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
should call at his local post office
and secure a $500 use tax stamp
and affix it to his vehicle on or
before July |, 1912, the Commits
sioner said. The various post offices
will sell the stamps over the coun-
ter for cash only and no mail order
business with respect thereto will
be conducted BY the post offices.
Collectors of Internal Revenue are
authorized to accept cash, post Of
flee money orders, and certified
checks in payment Of the use tax
stamp. However, as revenue
stamps have an intrinsic value, I'M
certified checks will not be accept
ed in payment therefor.
1t is the desire of the Office of
the Collector of Internal Revenue
that the use tax stamp shall be
placed on the inside lower right
hand corner of the windshield.
