Such famous persons as Abraham
Lincoln and Robert E. Lee were

like the Golden Gate Bridge and
the Grand Coulee Dam were built
under Hartford financial protec-

Hartford. In 1858, the last year
for which figures are available the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company
Group paid out $247, 600, 900 in

"The Civil War which Temporal

another chapter in the Hartford

Mechanical improvements and
modernization continue to make
the harvesting of sugar beets more
efficient each year, and 1859 was
no exception at the Hardin, Mon
tana Holly Sugar plant.
When growers truck their sugar
beets to the factory's unloading
stations. "pilers" transfer the truck
loads of beets to the huge beet pile
and in the process screen out tareS
and dirt. This year, according to
a report made by P. M. RosenoW,
Chief Agriculturist at Hardin,
Montana, the greatest single I'M
provement on these pliers was the
installation of a 72-inch grab-roll
e AS RosenOw points out,
"Anyone who has seen or delivered
beets to such a screen in opera
tion. does not need to be told OF
the efficiency of the screen in
cleaning up a dirty load, whether
it be trash, mud or clodS."
Grab-roll screens r just what
the term implies - a series Oh
rubber and steel cage-rolls which
have an uncanny faculty for grab
bling trash, clodS or mud and yet
will not grab a sugar beet. The
rolls are arranged in pairs with
steel c~age-roll turning against {
smooth rubber covered roll. There
are seven pairs of these rolls ar
ranged on a steep decline and al
turn in the reverse direction from
the flow of sugar beets. In addi

Use Pre-Punehed
Cards For Making
Income Tax Return

That little greeting card" you
may have just received from U. S.
Internal Revenue Service the
one with the tiny holes punched in
it = safeguard it. Use it as your
federal income tax return.
You will save the government =
and hence all taxpayers = money,
and you will be speeding UP the
handling of the annual avalanche
of returns.
M. Frank J. Healy, District
Director of Internal Revenue for
Montana, issued this appeal to
those taxpayers who have recently
received in the mails a "pre-
punched" card Form 1040A fo1

When the taxpayer files hi.
return using the per-punched card
Internal Revenue can use TIN
return to locate mechanically an
other card in which the taxpayer
name and address have alread,
been punched.
If the taxpayer fails to use tn
pre-punched card, and makes hi
return on another blank, Interna
Revenue Service must spend ad
ditional time and money on th
job of hand-punching the nam
and address again.
It's costly and time-consumin
work, and it has to be done eac
year for several million Taxpayer
who have lost, destroyed {
mutilated the pre-punched caro-

Most Of them regard cars
as a necessity rather than a

They also would like a
permanent set of inStruc-

the car (perhaps on the sun

nate for durability. This
would contain directions for
such things as "how to start
your car on cold mornings"
When a group leader asked
the women If her dealer
didn't tell her such things
when she bought the car, one
woman replied:
"A dealer would never ad-

under any circumstances"
Many Of the women also
expressed interest in a course

would be willing to pay for
the course. some said, but
others pointed out that such
a course, given free, might

There was considerable
objection to automobile ad-
