Here for the first time this
week on duty in connection with
recruiting, Major Ralph Smith,
commanding officer from state

a student of history and anthro-

The local museum proved to be
a treasure house of knowledge
for him, the brief time he had to
avail himself of the institutions
varied things being a sufficient
foretaste to make him determined
to return fer complete study.
The dioramas particularly i'm

July 4th Plans
Are Discussed

At a meeting of the Browning
Fair Association committee We'd
pesday evening, there were pres
ent stockholders and members of
the Lions Club and plans were
discussed informally for the July
Fourth celebration.
1t was proposed that one CEN
tralized celebration for the occas-
ion be held at Browning.
Celebrants will find rodeo, rae
ing and other events better than
last year and all the things that
make gala two days, including
a big encampment Of the Indians
from all parts of the reservation.
To properly prepare for the
Indian part of the celebration,
arrangements were made in the
chest fund raised last winter
for nice liberal cash donation
to this part of the affair. This
cash fund has been raised with
the plan in mind that the Indian
camp will be a large one as was
seen many years ago ard the
chest fund will enable the camp
committee to provide food and
smokes for all the camp.
The entire energies of the local
i directors of the association. stock
holders and the participants and
the entire community is being
put forth to make an interesting
and pleasant celebration and one
worthwhile to the visitor who
may be in our midst for the two
days. 1t is believed attendance
will be unusually large for the
entire period, considering W r
conditions.

Races and Rodeo
OF Best Possible
Merit Is Goal of

Comparable with the brill;ancy
OF other annual events, the third
annual Blackfeet Roundup on July
q and 5 will be considerably more
thrilling because O f the horse

In the two days programs.
While the board of the Brown
ing Fair Association, sponsor of
the project, has not been meet
Ing as a group; individual work
towards planning has been going
on daily, and from now on the
boards activities will continue to
be accelerated because of stress
theof important details.
The recent NJ lay 3O-31 race
meets success proved to be con-
vlnclng evidence that people in
wartime hunger for things that
are apart from temper and
mood brought about by the glo-
bal tragedy.
And besides, out of such a pro-
longed per- cd Of inclement
weather, which began with an
early winter last fall-it it is ex-
pressed with accuracy-Reserva-
ton citizens are not disposed to-
wards sitting down on July 4 and

historical days bordering news
papers and "funnies.
With army airbases i n near
proximity, tn Browning Fair
Association feels that the pro-
Ject may well serve to entertain
soldiers, many of whom have not
had opportunity to enjoy rodeo.
The Association has taken the
tip from the Rodeo Association
OF America, who in its recent
publication at Salinas, Californ-
la, urges all-out effort for the best
possible quality OF performances,
III the light of its high value as
wholesome entertainments or
soldiers in California camps.
Successful as it was, the May
project will prove to have been
nothing more than vest pocket
edition. of the July project, if
plans fully carry. This is h
attitude of the Browning Fair
Association. There will be the
best of horse races, with more
entries in each race. In fact,
while high class rodeo will not be
neglected., the race events will be
given most thorough planning

PenweII Suggests Caution
Against Loss Or Theft
Of Car Usage Tax Stamp

Several motorists during the
week have bought federal motor
vehicle tax stamps, according to
Postmaster Tellifero. The sale
began at Postoffices June 10 and
will continue through July.
Lewis Penwell, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, whose district is
the jurisdiction for Montana
sales, cautions motorist to guard
the stamps against loss or theft.
He suggests that when the ve-
hicle owner affixes the stamps,
he should dampen the windshield
rather than the adhesive side of
the stamp. This is recommended
to keep the stamp intact upon
the Windshield.
As an additional precaution,
he also suggests that each motor
vehicle owner should make a rec
ord of the serial number which
appears on the stamp in h e
event of its loss.
Every owner of motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
should call at his local postoffice
or at the office of the Internal
Revenue Collector and secure a
$500 use tax stamp and afix it
to his vehicle on or before July l,
1913, the Collector said .
The various postoffices will sell
the stamps over the counter for
cash only and no mail order bust
ness with respect thereto will be
conducted by the postoffices. Col.
lectors of Internal Revenue are
authorized to accept cash, post.
office money orders, and certified
checks in payment of the use
tax stamp. However, as revenue
stamps have an intrinsic value
uncertified checks will not be &C.
eeptable in payment therefor.
1t is the desire of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue that the use
tax stamp shall be placed Oh the
windshield in a location that will
not be in conflict with state re-
quirements. Penwell stresses the
fact that the use tax law has mol
been repealed and cautions motor
vehicle owners that failure t {
purchase and display the new use
tax stamps on vehicles using tht
public highways after July l
1913, will subject the violators t
severe penalties.
