We've been putting our BIZ
in the jackpot every Christmas
season since we moved into oul
present building, and what d.
you knoW?-we finally got {

and hooked onto the HTH bull.
ding too. They do look right
smart, especially when ye &c
stays down a bit later than the
rest of the staff and needs
something to console her-(ot
course they get to work earlier
than We do in the morning.)
Seriously, we never minded
contributing to Christmas deco
rations even when they weren't
right in front of our door,
It's the main part of town
which should look the best,
especially that portion people
see driving through.
We take the new strings of
lights in our block as a sign
that Hardin is growing land in
our direction too.) We'd like to
say thanks to the city dads for
including us in the main
drag" incidentally, Mike feels
the same way about it. He's
pleased too.
--O
We must have been uncon-
Scious last week. Wouldn't be
a bit surprised if we still are.
We promised two people we'd
put something in the paper,
and forgot all about it.
In the first place, the post
office will be open this Satur-
day afternoon. It was last Sat-
urday too. Joe Astle told us
about it, and we're darned sor-
ry we slipped up.
Item number two. is this:
Two weeks ago we made an err
ror in a story about Margaret
Cable, and incidentally did the
College Of Great Falls an in
justice. The college offers a
full four year course. Margaret,
now a senior, has been attend
ing the college for the past two
years, and when she graduates
this spring she will have COM
pleted four years college work
in three. We think that's quite
an accomplishment.
Hardin's outlook for 1947 is
bright-so the city clerk thinks.
He put in an order with a
salesman for a small bottle Of
red ink. The salesman tells us
he tried to sell him a quart of
the deficit fluid, but Cedric
would have no part of it.
We agree. We think the city
will stay mostly in the black
this year. In fact, we think it
looks like a good year for
everybody. Optimism always
pays, we've found.
Everybody we see these days
says, well, are you all ready
for Christmas?" AS if we ever
are.
As far as we can see, there
are two kinds of people around
the holiday season. About 80

to find at the last moment
that Uncle Joe, Great Aunt
Hepsibah or that second cousin
down in Arkansas has been
forgotten. Christmas eve catch
es the poor benighted souls in
a furry of gift wrapping, tree
trimming, cooking If on the
distaff side, or what have you?
On the other hand, there are
the efficient ten per cent who
do their Christmas shopping in
October, mail in November, and
approach the holidays as cool
as the w.k. cucumber. For
eleven and three-quarters
months of the year we have
nothing but the most profound
admiration and real liking for
these characters. But right
now, We hate 'em.

NEW ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM IN KENT COUNTY
continued from nrst pass1

to determine the amount of capita
ton taxes it was necessary in the
last audit to analyze the tax dupli-
Gates year by year.
The report cited that taxes re-
ceivable carried on the books as a
county asset totalled $74,976,O8
since 1882 and an analysis of the
tax ledger from 1910 to 1916 inclu-
sive, showed that of $43,S06.81 in
taxes receivable, 500, 1898 repre-
scented uncollected capitation taxes.
The auditors expressed opinion that
the same condition exists for 1882
80.
Their recommendation was that
the employees of the tax collector s
Office prepare adding machine tapes
from the tax ledger, segregating the
amount of capitation taxes from the
real and personal property taxes as
of the past June 30.
Urges Reserve Account
when the total amount of de-
linquent capitation taxes is deter
mined, reserve for doubtful or
uncollectable capitation taxes
should be established in an amount
not contrary to statutory require
ments," the report advised.
1t added that the attorney for the
