The most unusual western story you ever saw. It has a hero
who doesn't know a six-shooter from a monkey wrench, and
is afraid of his own shadow. It tells a story which will keep
you roaring with laughter from start to finish and yet you
win have the feeling that there was a serious lesson under
lying the comedy.

Should the Farmer or
Stockman Keep Books?
It has been our privilege to determine profits and losses and fig
ure Income Taxes for hundreds of wheat growers and sheep men.
We have worked among this class of Income Taxpayers since the
law of 1 91 7 caused everyone to figure circles around themselves. We
have had conferences in the Commissioner's Office in Washington,
D. C, on sheep inventories and wheat inventories. We have gone
' into this question from every angle.
As a result of all this work we can point to any number of cases
where the growers have had their Income taxes reduced and have
claimed refunds by having books set up on an inventory basis.
We have just recendy completed a Claim for Refund running
into thousands of dollars in this county. This claim was the result
of setting up inventories and throwing the income back into the
year when it was produced.
This plan serves to spread your income more evenly over a per
iod of years. Inventory, double-entry books also give you a com
plete record of your business affairs. You need not fear the inves
tigating officer when you have such records, j

Owing to the present financial condition of our trade
