Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1929 A SCHOOL IN JAPAN In Japan we see boys and girls going to school carrying books in their arms. We gee their ink bottles tied to a string around their hanging necks. In Japan every child should go to for when anyone stays out they send the policeman to their home to see what is the matter. They have many maps and globes and books which they use in geography. The books seem strange to us. The letters are different from ours they run up and down the page. x Our alphabet has only twenty-siletters, while Japan has They have counting boxes on which they do the arithmetic very fast.

Taro takes us from one room to another. At last Taro bows and asks us to sit down. There are no chairs, so we must sit on the floor. We are pleased with the sliding walls of the Japanese house. They use paper lanterns for lights. The fuel used is charcoal. The bath tub is large and made of wood. Under it burns a fire which heats the water. We jump into the water and find it just about boiling. We find the Japanese very clean and polite people. Arthur Storrer, Fourth Grade. A JAPANESE DINNER When we come to Japan we wonder how they eat They each have a little table about a foot high and they eat with two sticks. When we start to eat we drop what we are eating, then the Japanese children show us how to use chop sticks. They have many things we like to eat. They all sit on the floor but the father and mother and they have a little chair about six Unlimited Money to LOAN on Irrigated Land. 6 cent. No commissions. per JOHN J. SIIUMWAY Phones: B. R.

Internal Revenue Division Appreciative "I am highly gratified with the promptness and cheerfulness with which tax obligations to the United States government in the internal revenue division are being met by taxpayers in Utah," said Collector of Internal Revenue James H. Anderson. "Reports for the year 1928 are coming in satisfactorily and, as for two or three years past, the people evidently are quite appreciative of such service as the force in the collector's office is able to render them. There is no charge for this service aiding in making the reports when the figures are brought in by the taxpayer. In making these reports, every deduction t which the taxpayer is entitled is given, since the collector, while in duty bound to collect the tax due the government, also is insistent on avoiding any excess collection from the taxpayer. Where excess arises outside of the collector's jurisdiction, dealings thereon must be with the bureau of internal revenue at Washington; but where errors occur either as to deficiency or excess within the jurisdiction of the collector, correction is made at once. "In reaching the present harmonious relations between the taxpayers and the collector's office in this district, the newspapers throughout the state have been a highly important factor. No funds being available for advertising, the press has been liberal and courteous in calling the attention of the public to the necessity of being prompt in making reports, which are due bv or before March 15 in each year. This promptness has increased the efficiency and reduced the cost of government operation in the internal revenue department. In his recent address, President Coolidge pointed out the achievement in this regard: an achievement in which the Utnh district did its full share, thereby eliciting a special expression of thanks just received in a letter from Commissioner of Internal Revenue David H. Blair, who visited Utah a few months atro, and was the guest of the Salt Iake City board of commissioners at the Commercial club." J' S4 ! - The MajUthmmiltUt with the-tr- it or inbuilt tvolhn motor.
