Liquor Monopoly Jumps
$14,255,167 in Profits

Montanas state liquor monopoly
dumped $l4255 .l67.52 in profits and
| license fees into various state activi-
ties from the time of its inception to
Jan. and up to jan 20. had turned
another $l.O89, 286O5 of 1912 revenue
into the state treasury.
A breakdown Of liquor revenues,
compiled by State Examiner William
Hosking, showed that from 1884, when
the liquor monopoly was created with
500. 900 appropriation from the leg
stature. up to Jan. I. it contributed
s12 ,312 .O60.l0 to the state general fund,
81 CAT ,36272 to relief and the public
welfare department, 81 .07O. 66667 to the
state water conservation board. sl47,-
773.25 to the state teachers retirement
fund, $4,000 to the state temperance
commission and 7O46775O to the pub
lie school general fund-all after pay
ing its original debt of 100000.
Collections since Jan. l. including
s245. $50 in beer license and the beer
excise tax, $500, 900 in liquor profits.
s272,205 in retail liquor licenses and
ST. .05 in the state excise tax on
liquor, totaling S1.089 ,28605, were
turned over to the general fund under
terms of the legislatures reorganiza-
ton of state finances last session.
Revenues on beer and liquor licenses
and the other sources of the liquor
monopoly's income were expected to
go far beyond this figure before the
end of the month.
Hosking's compilation showed that
virtually every legislature since the
1Q2d SaSciny, WI, 81, TO-
own ideas about where the liquor and
beer income should go.
Originally, profits from liquor were
divided among the general fund, relief
fund and water conservation funds.
During 1937-1938 and thereafter, the
relief fund was eliminated and con-
tributions started to the teachers re-
tirement fund and the temperance
commission. The water board was
dropped in 1938-l939 and thereafter
Beer license fees and taxes went to
the general fund and relief fund until
l936-l937, when the relief fund was
dropped and the entire revenue put
in the general fund. During the period
from 1884 to Jan. l. expenses of the
beer section, sl42,665.48. were paid
from collections.
Proceeds from retail liquor licenses,
which were legalized in 1936-l937,
were divided equally between the pub
lie school general fund and public vel
fare department until 1938-1s39, when
the portion formerly allocated to the
welfare department was turned over
to the general fund.

Bumper Wheat Crop Reflected
In Peak School Fund ALLEGATION

Montana,s bumper 1871 wheat crop
is reflected in the largest ALLEGATION
of funds to school districts in the
states history.
]. W. Walker. state land and In
vestment commissioner, said an allo-
cation of 500 per pupil would be
made for 1892 from income from state
lands and investments last year. as
compared to an ALLEGATION of slightly
more than IS per pupil in 1910 and
1871.
Walker said a total Of sl.433 .562 OF,
less percent. or about ST. 900 which
was to be credited to the school per-
manent fund. would be distributed
among the school districts.
He explained that the bumper crop
and high prices for wheat had enabled
hundreds of farmers to reinstate Ger
tificates Of purchase on state lands
they were using, and that payment of
arrearages and some advance payments
had resulted in the exceptionally large
income
During years Of poor harvests and
low prices. he said, farmers who had
taken out certificates to buy state land
on the installment plan had permit
ted the certificates to lapse and merely
leased the land. However, he said, this
years larger farm income resulted in
reinstatement of these certificates.
That's one advantage of having a
great deal of low-priced farm land"
he said, "as one good crop permits
farmers to reinstate their contracts.
In states like Iowa and Kansas, where
land prices are high, it would take
several good crops to permit farmers
to reinstate lapsed certificates of pur-
chase"
Walker said the bulk of the money to
be distributed among the school dis
tricts was from land sales. as interest
on investments was dropping year by
year because of the competition among
investors for state, county and other
bonds certain to be paid.
He said state warrants for each
county's share of the fund ALLEGATION
would be sent county treasurers short

Wheat and Corn Seen
As Sources of Rubber

Experiments are under way for the
conversion OF agricultural commodities.
such as wheat and corn. into synthetic
rubber with satisfactory results thus
far. DR.. Henry G. Knight. chief Of
the agriculture departments chemistry
and engineering bureau. said.
We have made signal progress at
the northern regional research lab
oratory at Peoria, Ill.," he asserted in
an interview, but not enough to make
positive statement that We can make
synthetic rubber yet. The progress we
have made, however, entices us to con-
tinue with the research"
The process was developed by four
chemurgy experts-Dr. Leo NJ. Chris
Jensen OF the University Of Nebraska,
w. K. Mcpherson Of Alabama Poly
technic institute. Harry Miller Of the
University of Missouri and DR.. L. A.

The right way to wash wool is tn
use warm soft water and mild soan
Squeeze suds through cloth-dont rub
Dry in a warm place but not near a
fire or in direct sunlight. Stretch knit
garments into shape while they are
damp and lay them out flat to dry
Press other wool garments while thew
are still damp with a medium-hot iron
and pressing cloth. Rough handling
while 1t IS wet, harsh soap, sudden
extremes of temperature in washing
water or drying cause a wool garment
to become boardy.
For washable rayonS, use lukewarn
suds of neutral soaps. Do not rub but
handle them with particular care while
they are wet. Rinse in water the same
temperature as the wash water. Iron
with a moderately warm iron For
acetate rayons, keep the Temperature
even lower. If in doubt about iron
temperature, try the iron first on the
back part of hem or a seam to make
sure the iron is not so hot that it
will melt the rayon.
Washing is the sensible way to clean
cottons. To be satisfactory, colored
cottons need to be colorfast to wash
ing and light. To retain their fit after
washing, cotton garments Should not
shrink more than 2 percent. Color
fastness and shrinkage can be deter
mined at the time the garment is
purchased.

State Bank Resources jump.
Examiners Report Reveals

Total resources of Montana's II
state banks on Dec. 81, l941. were s14.-
AL ,8l8.6l greater than at the end of
the previous year, w. A. Brown. state
bank examiner, has reported.
Chief increases during the year,
which saw the resource total mount
to more than s92 500 600. were s7,1O8,-
843.70 in loans and discounts, $685.
2O4.98 in United States bonds and
s4734,057.25 in cash and funds due
from other banks.
These increases show healthy con-
dition of our state banks, of which
there are two more than a year ago."
Brown said. THE increases in loans
and discounts and corresponding in
creases in deposits show that the banks
are doing a good business and are
theoretically pursuing that business"

Necessary to Take Good Care of Clothing
and Textiles Because of Wartime Demands

Taking good care of clothing on
hand is an urgent need today as many
kinds of clothing and textiles become
limited because of the wartime demand
for fabrics, says Martha L. Hensley,
extension clothing specialist at Mon
tana State college.
However, before clothes can be taken
care of intelligently it is necessary to
know what the fabric is made of be-
cause the methods of cleaning and
pressing vary according to the fibers
in garment. To assist homemakers,
Miss Hensley passes along the recon-
mendations of home economists of the
department of agriculture on cleaning
and pressing of commonly used fabrics.
