ter organization? If every men,
Der in our Association would ask
himself this question I am quite
certain that the answer in the
majority OF cases would be ST am
doing something but | could do
more"
In these trying times it is abso-
lutely necessary that we all pitch
in and put forth more effort than
we have in the past. Because Of
the fact that tires and gasoline
are being rationed. it is quite ap-
parent that we will not be able
to make as many out-of-towr
trips as we have been able to
make in the past. This fact should
not prevent us from functioning
as well as we have been. On the
contrary, it should prove to be an
incentive to each and every mem
Der in our Association to do more
for his local club.
Some of our members are al
ready, and no doubt many more,
will be serving Uncle Sam within
the near future. They haloe a duty
to perform and so do the mem
bers that remain at home. When
these boys come back,they should
come back to club that has func-
toned while they were gone. and
is ready to bid them welcome.
Yes, the seed has grown into
a ~blossoming tree so let's keep it
that way. How big is the tree
that was mentioned in this
column last week? How much
fruit does it bear? This ambitious
tree has born 585 apples this
year, even though it is quite early
for a tree to bear fruit. To date
we have SIS members in the T.
S. ]. A. We could have many
more apples on this tree if we
would have taken better care OF
it. Some people thought that the
tree would bear fruit without any
care being given to it. but too
much was taken for granted. Some
branches bore many apples one
year and then the next something
happened, and only a few apples
were on the branch. 1t is the du-
ty of all OF us as caretakers of this
tree to watch over these branches
(the local clubs) so that the tree
can bear more fruit than ever be-
fore.
We can have a few hundreds
more members I'm the T. s. 7. A.
if we all put forth more effort and
try to get some of the old mem
bers back, and also increase the
number OF new members.

Statements for the 1912 real

statements being much earlier
this year than in other years. the
result being that County Trea-
surer George Masengills office
force i 8 busy with collections
earlier than heretofore.
Nearly half million dollars in
taxes will be received if Glacier
county should realize 100 per
cent collection. according to Trea.
surer Masengill. The assessed
valuation of the county is ST..
376. 057. or approximately a mil.
lion increase over last year.
The increase is attributable to
development of the oil industry
during the last year. Taxable
valuation, according to Treasurer
Masenglll, is 81, 428, 1l5, taxes
due totaling s426, 3S9.O8. 1t is a
good sign when small taxpayers
begin to pay up without delay
and such is the case in Glacier
county at present.
W h e n the treasurer's office
closes Saturday, the weeks tax
collection will be around $4,000.
Treasurer Masengill al d. A
majority of them will be repre-.

The financial ability as we'll as
the impulse to pay taxes are twin
blessings that will dc much to
keep Glacier county in the lead

its financial condition before now
has given it high prestige.
