TAXATION OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Since farm products are a species
of personal property, II follows that
under the present methods of assess
ing personal property, and the notori-
ous evasions of the large owners OF
intangible personal property In the
cities. such farm products as are now
subject TO taxation are made to bear
an excessive burden of taxation be-
cause OF the increase in the tax rate
necessary to provide the required rev.
enue when such an enormous amount
of other forms OF personal property
evades taxation entirely,-N. J. Bach

PRIMARY ED CATION

The bulk Of primary education is
provided at public cost. We are
proud Of our common schools
though they are far below what
from an ideal standpoint they should
be. No teacher is physically or
mentally competent to give instruc-
ton to forty children, which. is the
average size of division in the public
schools. Under such conditions
individual instruction is largely i'm
possible, To the tired brain worker
nothing is more grateful than glass
of golden grain belt beer at mealtime.
Have it on the family table and enjoy
its benefits. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by E. S. Tanner,

VALENTINE SECURES LAND
CONGRESSMAN klNKAlD INSTRU.
MENTAL IN PASSING BILL.
GRANTING 24o ACRES TO CITY

This Tract of Land will be Used for
Improving the Water Works System
of the Town ad for Other Public
Purposes.
Valentine, Neb., March 21.-Special
to The News: The town board
through their chairman, w. S. Barker,
applied to Congressman Nj. p. Kinkdid
last December for the northwest quar-
ter and the north half of the south
west quarter of 3034-27, then a part
of the Fort NiObrara military reser-
walton, to be granted to Valentine
for the purpose of using the land as a
site for a reservoir and dam for
water to furnish power to pump water
and run the electric light system.
Mr.. Barker has just received a
message that congress has granted
his request and that the land-24O
acres-comes to Valentine without
the payment of a dollar. Valentine
has already 700 acres, which together
with this 240 acres makes $50 acres
which will furnish Valentine citizens
with a place to herd town COWS and
water them, besides the dam, water
works and electric light system
which will lessen the burden of tax
alton and make Valentine an ideal
place to live, with more national ad.
vantages than any other town in the
state.
The land grant is situated about
mile north of town on the table land
and at an elevation of about 200 feet
above the town which will give a
sufficient and strong pressure for the
water supply.

FIRE SCARE At PIERCE
THE COURT HOUSE AND COUNTY
BUILDINGS THREATENED.
PEOPLE OF PIERCE ALARMED

A Blaze Which Started In the Court
House Yard Threatens That Sruc.
ture-Prompt Action by County o.
ficers Saves Conflagratlon.
Pierce, Neb., March 2l.-Speclal to
The News: The court house, jail and
other buildings in the court house
yard were threatened with fire at
HE this morning, giving the town
shock that was exciting for a few
minutes. Through the heroic efforts
of court house employees, the incipient
blaze was squelched before any dam
age was done.
Fire was discovered burning furi-
ously in the dry leaves and rubbish on
the north side of the court house,
threatening to set fire to the wood
buildings in the yard and from that
communicating to the brick struc-
lures. But prompt action subdued the
fire after a few posts only had been
consumed.
There Is a question as to how the
tire started. 1t may have been limo
Gently started by the janitor when he
was burning refuse from the various
offices or it may have come from the
spark of an engine which was passing
just a short ime before. In any event,
it has awakened the people of Pierce
to the jeopardy that surrounds the
county buildings.

YEARS AGO.
NOW HE HAS A BOOZE HABIT

He Put In Some Spare Time In the
City Jail While Waiting to be Es.
eorted Back to the Kearney Reform
School.
Times have changed. Sixty years
ago Jesse Brandt n young Indian
buck, would have been on the road
to chiefship. Now he was just put
in the Norfolk city Jail over night and
packed off today to the state reform
school at Kearney.
Brandt is eighteen years old and
bad" He was sent from the Santee
agency to the Indian school at Genoa.
While still "A youth Of tender years
he had acquired booze habit OF some
capacity and tendency to hit the
warpath. Genoa couldn't hold him
and he was packed off to Kearney.
He ran away once and they brought
him back. He ran away second time
and his short stay in Norfolk today
in the custody OF Constable Smith Of
Niobrara was due TO a return trip to
the Kearney institution.
In better days Brandt would have
stolen horses and have been a brave
youth. In these degenerate times the
first thing Brandt is definitely record
ed as having stolen at Genoa was a
pair of pants.
