Dial Phones for
Every Farm
By MARGARET HASS, Secretary
N. E. Montana Telephone
CO-Ob assn.

A DIAL TELEPHONE will soon
be as standard a fixture as the
kitchen stove in northeastern Mon
tana farm and ranch homes.
Three co-operatives, each covering
several counties and serving $500
or more subscribers, have been or
gained in the area under the rural
telephone branch of the Rural Elec-
trification administration. These are
the Mid-Rivers Telephone Co-opera-
tive Montana Farmer Stockman,
May Is, 1852 with headquarters in
Circle; the Northeastern Montana
Telephone cooperative at Scobey,
and the Valley Telephone co-opera-
tive at Glasgow.
The actual loan contract for the
Mid-Rivers association, first in Mon
tana, was signed Oct %. The loan
amount is S1.675,OO0 and the funds
will be used to provide service to
approximately $500 subscribers in
Dawson, McCone, Garfield, Prairie
and Richland counties in Montana
and Mckenzie and Golden Valley
counties in North Dakota.
Officials of the Northeastern Mon
tana association signed its loan con-
tract for 81 1887, 900 in November. At
that time there were 1922 subscrib-
ers located in five counties-Sheri-
dan, Roosevelt, Daniels, Valley and
part of Divide. About 1000 miles
of line will be constructed to serve
them.
Beginnings of the Northeastern
Montana association can be traced
back to the serious concern of Of
ficials of the Antelope cooperative
over the way their lines and service
had deteriorated during the war
Nothing could be done about it-no
money-no help.
Then the Rural Telephone admin
istration offered assistance and a
meeting was called in Plentywood
IN August, 1850. 1t was called for
Sheridan county farmers who were
interested, but it was widely at
tended by farmers from surrounding
counties as we'll
Formal organization of the as
ISOLATION was completed in October,
1851. Directors named were M. La
Motto, Scobey; Wyman Feltis, Peer
less; H. H. Brown, Poplar; Robert
Rorvig, Richland; Francis Tarum,
Richland; William Larsen, gilbert
son; George Johnson, Reserve; Will
liam Herman, Westby, and Margaret
Hass, Outlook. All are still serving
except Feltis and Rorvig, who re-
signed. They have been succeeded
by Reuben Aberg of Lustre anc

will be called in January and con.

are the same as last year. There
are, however, some changes brought
about by the Revenue Act of 1851,
the effects of which will not be
fully realized until the 1852 tax
year. Following are the major
changes that will affect you as a
farmer:
/. Tax Rate Increase-The in
crease in tax rates provided for in
the Revenue Act of 1851 took effect
late the same year, but apply to the
entire year of 1852. The tax rates
on 1852 incomes are, on the average,
about 9 percent higher than those
on 1851 incomes.
2. Capital Gains-For 1852 and
thereafter, the $50 percent rule"
(when schedule D is used) can be
applied to any long-term capital
gain only after any short-term CAPT
tai loss has been subtracted. Prior
to 1852, the so percent rule was ap-
piled to capital gains before short
term capital losses were subtracted.
8. Sale of Draft. Breeding. or
Dairy Animals-There has been a
further Qualification of the condi-
dairy and draft animals are treated
as "sales of capital assets" When so
treated they will be reported on
Schedule D Form 1040), where only
IF N of fr-0r
tai gains and losses will be taxable
income.
If a sale of livestock is to be
treated as a sale of a capital asset,
the following requirements must be
met:
a. The animal must have been
owned for II months or more.
b. The animal must have been
held for draft, breeding, or
dairy purposes, and not pri-
marily for sale in the ordinary
course of the farm business.
The term livestock" is given a
broad Interpretation and includes
cattle, hogs, horses, mules, donkeys,
sheep, goats, fur-bearing animals,
and other animals. 1t does not in
clude chickens, turkeys, pigeons,
geese, other birds, fish, frogs, and
reptiles.
The determination of whether OF
not livestock are held for draft
breeding, or dairy purposes depends
upon all the facts and circumstances
in each particular case. The purpose
for which the animal is held is ordi.
narily shown by the taxpayers &C
tua1 use of the animal. An animal i:
not considered as being held by the
taxpayer for draft, breeding, or dairy
purposes merely because it is suit
able for such purpose; or because i
is held by the taxpayer for sale tt
other persons for use by them fol
such purpose. Following are some
examples illustrating these princi
pies:
Example /: An animal intended
by the farmer for use by him fo
breeding purposes is discovered t.
be sterile and is disposed of within
a reasonable time thereafter. Thi
animal was held for breeding pur
poses.
Example 2: A farmer decides t,
quit the livestock breeding or. dair.
business and sell his entire herd in
Guiding young animals which woul,
have been used by him for breeding
or dairy purposes, if he had re

Famed Convert
Dies AT La .JOlla

SAN DIEGO = NC) - DIR. Jesse
Albert Locke, 90, one-time Protest
ant clergyman and leader in con-
vert work, has died.
A native of Watertown, Mass,
DR.. Locke became a Protestant
Episcopal clergyman but resigned
his clerical post in 1892, went to
England to study Catholicism at
oxford, and was received into the
Church in London, February 3,
1893.
Returning to the United States,
he founded the Newman School at
Lakewood, NJ, a college prepara-
tory school for Catholic boys, and
became its headmaster After
World War II, with the approval
of DR.. Locke, the school was turn
ed over to the Maryknoll Fathers
and now is one of the community's
preparatory seminaries. The main
building still is called Locke Hall.
One of DR.. Locke's activities was
working with the Converts Guild.
which was formed TO assist clergy
men converted from other faiths
to Catholicism until they became
established in remunerative occu-
pations. The organization carries
on its work as the St Paul Guild
and has its center in New York.
DR.. Locke retired in 1920 and
made his home in La Jolla, Calf.
After the death of his wife, the
former Sarah b. Coolidge, artist
and niece of Father Isaac Hecker,
convert and founder of the Paul
ist Fathers, he went to Rome where
he lived for several years. While
in Rome, he was accorded the Pa
pal Honor of Knight Commander
OF the Holy Sepulchre.

The recommendation was made
in series of resolutions adopted

The proposed observance, it was

Congo To Get New
University To Be
Run By The .Jesuits

BRUSSELS-NC)-A Catholic
university is to be opened soon at
Kimuenza, suburb of Leopold
vile, in the Belgian Congo.
The new university the first in
the Congo, will be stated by pro-
fessors from Louvain University,
Belgium's leading Catholic center
of higher learning, and will be ad-
ministered by Jesuit Missionaries,
the announcement said.
The study of medicine, law and

students.
Already located at Kisantu,
about 20 miles from Leopoldville,
is a branch of Louvain University
known as the Louvanium, which
will continue to operate. The Lou
vanium was started 25 years ago
under the direction of the Jesuits
and with a staff sent from Bel
gium. The branch provides courses
for medical and agricultural as
sistants preparing for work in the
native villages. and courses pre-
pairing students for civil service
