vated-butter manufacturers, who re-
tain the ownership of the butter until
sold. In such cases it is held by this
Office that if the butter so consigned
is adulterated butter, the liability to
special tax as a dealer is on the
creamery and not the commission
merchant, who acts simply as an
agent of the manufacturer.
"Under the circumstances as they
exist, it is plainly the duty of reve.
nue. officers to direct their efforts es-
pecially toward the creameries and
butter manufacturers, with the object
in".view of preventing the illegal mar.
keting of adulterated butter, and to
enforce the law strictly in the matter
OF collecting the taxes to which such
buttermakers subject themselves, and
all internal revenue officers will pro.
coed along this line in their investiga.
ton of this class of cases.

NEW OPERA HOUSE
Hall Built by Martin Brands of Suffi-
Gent Size to Meet Ordinary
Demands of Public.
First Play Will Be Presented by Mer.
shon Stock Company on Mon
day Evening, Oct. 2S.

Martin Brands new opera house
will be fully equipped with all neces-
sary furniture, scenery, etc., within a
week and the season will open on
October 2S by the Mershon Stock COM
pany, who will play three successive
nights.
The opera hall proper has a floor
space 40 by go feet with stage suffi-
GENTLY large for all ordinary pur-
poses. The scenery, which is ex-
pected to reach here this week, has
been painted especially for Mr..
Brands by a Minneapolis artist and
the work is said to be finely executed.
The opera chairs, which Mr.. Brands
selected personally in Chicago, are
now on the way and will be installed
within a few days. These chairs are
the very best that could be procured.
In case of emergency the hall would
seat five hundred persons. Thus with
an audience of four hundred there
would be ample room for all. The

mer opera house which was destroyed
by fire and it is equipped with steam
heat, electric lights and other modern
conveniences. Two wide stairways
are provided, so that in case of fire
ample means of egress are afforded.
Mr.. Brands does not expect that the
opera house will prove paying prop
osition, but if he receives sufficient
patronage to pay him a small interest
on the large amount of money in
vested he will be satisfied. A hall of
this sort was much needed in the vii
lage, not only as a place wherein to
give entertainments but for public
meetings.
On the same floor as the opera house
Mr.. Brands has built hall 26 by 81
feet, with a large anteroom, suitable
for lodge purposes.

ABEL AND DOC,
They Bring Back q Hundred Wild Fowl
and Story.

Ahey BRING Back Hundred Wild Fowl
and a Story.
Abel Holm and DR.. McRae returned
on Monday from Lake Traverse,
where they had been on a duck shoot
ing expedition. They brought with
them the legal limit in number of
aquatic fowl-100 birds-and the
bunch contained miscellaneous as
sortment. There were brant, canvas
backs, mallards, pintail, redhead,
bluebills, teal and other varieties.
"Traverse lake is the best place I
have ever seen for duck hunting, /"
said Abel, "they are so multitudinous
that they shut out the light of thesun,
moon and stars. And, by the way,
the shutting out of the moonlight came
near being the death of US. We had
wandered forth into a broad and
trackless bog when the ducks began to
come in myriads TO roost. The moon
was obscured for at least an hour be-
fore the birds settled down for the
night. During this time we kept
shooting at random into the black
mass of Tapping fowl and when they
had gone into quarters we discovered
that we had lost our bearings--got
twisted around as it we're. To make
matters worse heavy fog appeared
and the morass in which we stood
seemed to sink beneath us-in fact it
did sink several inches. We decided
to struggle along in as straight line
as possible in hope of striking hard
ground. So on we went, slowly to be
sure, but we made some progress.
Doc was in the lead and as I plodded
along behind I heard a splash and a
yell. It came from Doc-he had found
his bearings at the bottom of the lake.
He struggled out and we decided to
remain on a slight eminence which
we had found and await daybreak.
Shivering we sat hour after hour un-
til the sun came up, and then we dis
covered not many yards away a
hunters shanty, which we made haste
to enter. In this shanty was stove,
wood and hunks. Imagine our feel
ings when we made this discovery and
also found that we had not walked
over fifty yards from the place we
started from the evening previous.
Now, don't publish this little incident
or else everyone in five counties will
know it and poster the life out of US. :"

Butter Moisture.

Notice has been sent out by the bu-
reau of internal revenue at Washing
ton to the creameries and dairymen
throughout the country that butter
containing more than l6 per cent of
water will be subjected to the payment
of the ten-cent tax and the license fee
prescribed in the law governing oleo-
margarine. Commissioner Capers, in
addressing a delegation which waited
upon him, said in part:
"Practically all the trouble has
arisen from the failure on the part of
buttermakers or manipulators to see
to it that the moisture content of their
product is kept below 16 per cent,
thus placing on the market a class of
butter designated by the law as adul-
terated butter, taxable at 10 cents a
pound and fixing the liability of the
producer as a manufacturer, requir-
ing the payment of heavy special
tax as we'll as the tax on the product.
When these taxes have accrued, no
authority exists for emitting their COL
lection.
SIN addition to the taxes imposed
on the manufacturer who produces
and markets the taxable product are
the special taxes acruing against per-
sons or firms who sell the same as
wholesale dealers or retail dealers,
according to the quantity sold at one
time. These latter taxes have neces-
sarily been collected from dealers who
have handled adulterated butter furn-
ished them by the manufacturers, and
their liability has been incurred with
out knowledge of the character of the
butter handled and without intent to
violate the law or carry on business
subject to tax. -.
f From interviews with a number of
prominent butter merchants and COM
mission men, it is found that much of
the butter handled by; them is dealt in
on commission and sold for account

High Grade Bread and Pastry.

To the Public:
I have been fortunate in securing
the services of James Wells of Mime
apolis, baker of twenty years expe-
rience and an expert in all branches
Of the business. Mr.. Wells is without
doubt the most skilled baker that
ever worked in this village. His
bread and pastry cannot be excelled
or even equalled in this part of the

the superior quality of goods now be-
ing turned out at my bakery should
send in a trial order and they will be
convinced that my statement is true
one. Very respectfully,

A Blessing Even If a Trust.

The Princeton I'm ion combats the
accusation that the farmers have
formed a trust by Incorporating the
Society of Equity in New Jersey,
famous as the parent of combinations
in restraint of trade. The U n n
does not seem to think that capital
has pre-empted the New Jersey law
for the easy organization of octopi,
nor that the 'Producers' and Consum-
ers' International Equity Union and
Cooperative Exchange" is in any
sense a real devilfsh.
MIR. Dunn is unable to understand
how the farmers can be censured for
merely endeavoring to secure better
price for their products by holding
them until there is an actual demand
and then cutting out the middlemen.
He says There is no sense in Cutting
the market with wheat, oats, corn or
potatoes in the fall of each year."
In fact, the farmers organization is
in no possible sense a trust, nor an
organization in restraint of trade, un-
less buying and selling grain that you
haven't and don't want is ga trade"
The advice, 'hold your wheat" is
also as old at least as the days of Ig-
natius Donnelly and the old Farmers
alliance.
The crops to supply the world's
needs for an entire year are practi-
cally all harvested within two months.
The Society of Equity has undertaken
for the farmers the same task the
brokers and boards of trade under
take for themselves. That is, to find
out at harvest time what the world
crop is of the various cereals, and
then tell the farmers from such esti-
mate and the average of annual con-
sumption what their wheat, oats, corn,
barley, fax, rye and potatoes are
actually worth if they feed them to the
market according to the demand of
the consumers and not according to
the capacity of the elevators. =
Donnelly came too early and his
was single voice crying in the will
derness. The farmers in those days
could not hold their products for two
very good reasons-they had to have
the money and they did not have the
granary and barn capacity to hold
their crops
Habit has continued to make them
haul from the threshers to the elevat-
ors and let them set the price. Expe-
rience has shown that the fall price is
almost invariably materially lower
than the spring price. The necessity
for selling also has largely disap-
peared, and the effort is now to in
duce the producers not to sell until
they can get what their products are
actually worth.
If this could be done, it would have
a doubly beneficial effect. It would

Frost Injured Potatoes.

The severe frost last Saturday night
injured many fields of undug pota-
toes in this vicinity. The loss to
farmers will aggregate considerable
sum. If the present beautiful weather
continues until the close of the week
the bulk of the crop will be pitted or
housed, for every farmer and every
member of his family is hustling in
the potato fields from daylight to
dark. Help is scarce, but almost
every potato-raiser has invested in a
machine this year. It is to be hoped
that the prices received will more than
compensate, the farmers for the losses
sustained and extra cost incurred for
help and machinery.

Is Bleached Flour Unhealthful?

A writer in Up-to-Date Farming
calls upon Dr.. Wylie of the bureau of
chemistry to investigate the bleaching
of flour and report whether the same
is injurious to health or not. The
writer in question publishes the fol.
lowing letter written to him by q
North Dakota farmer:
have just read in Current Topics
what you say in regard to DR.. Wylie
of the bureau of chemistry, where you
say, 80 The government should alb
solutely prohibit Che manufacture and
sale of all injurious connections. :"
But what is to be done when the pub
lie insists on having and using iniuri-
Gus connections?
In conversation with miller in a
small Dakota town not long since he
said:
II didn't use to humbug the people
with bleached flour, but I was forced
to do it. About two years ago the
big mills in Minneapolis sent out flour
testers on which you can place differ
ent fours side by side and see the
shades of colors. The merchants
used them and came and told me nv
flour was out of date. The Minneap-
oils flour was snow white and mine
was not, and the only way to get it
that way was to bleach it, I went east
to investigate. I didn't want to pay
big price for machine to injure the
flour, but found it was a necessity.
The machine and the right to use cost
81, 300. 1t has a receptacle for nitric
acid. Into this acid is fed slowly
small iron rod. The acid dissolves
the iron and forms gas, which is
drawn by fan through the flour and
bleaches it white as snow. There is
no doubt but what many cases of
stomach disease which people lay to
other causes is caused by bleached
-four. When people come to the mill
for flour I ask them which they want.
bleached or unbleached, and give them
whichever they want.'
I said: GLOW do you do when the
stores order flour: which do you
send?'
He replied: "They never ask me
and I never ask them. I always send
bleached -four: I must do it or lose
my trade"
I asked him if all the flour sold in
our town was bleached -four, and he
said it was.
"But," said I sis it not because
people do not understand that it is
unwholesome that they demand it,"
"Cetrainly," said he, Shut would
not know how to go to work to
educate them, even if they want to
know"
I asked him what would happen if
he refused to put out any bleached
flour, and he replied that he would be
driven to the wall, as his competitors
all did it and the people demand the
white -four. he said, too, that the
bakers wanted it because it made their
bread a little lighter.
Now if the people will demand un-
bleached flour and bread made of un-
bleached flour, they will get it.
