Tho Old Lady Had Reason For Sur
prise When the Bird Spoke. -,
A young ventriloquist, being out OF
an engagement, decided to pay his wild
owed mother visit for few weeks.
On arriving he found she was not at
home. A few days after Ills arrival
she appeared, bringing with her a par
rot and cage which had been given
her by relative. The bird not being
able to talk, mother and son spent
many tedious hours trying to instruct
the parrot. After several futile efforts
they gave the job up in despair.
Then a happy idea occurred to the
son. Bringing his ventriloquial powers
into requisition, gently at first, he
made it appear to his mother that the
bird had really begun to talk. The
mother not knowing the nature Of his
avocation, he was successful in deceiv-
ing her. BE had an engagement to full
fill which necessitated his departure. l.
Coming back after the termination Of
his contract, he was heartily received
by his mother and made very vel
come. Soon after his arrival home he
commenced and carried ON q CONVEX
sation. as before, with the parrot. No
ticing the look of CONSERVATION on the
countenance Of his mother, he inquired
what was the matter. Imagine his
surprise when she replied: -, ". : ~

THE INACCURATE TINIES-RECORI

The Valley City Times-Record in
it's issue of Tuesday evening states
that the state board of equalization
reduced the state tax levy from five
and two-tenths mills to four mills
and follows this with the statement
that the present levy is within the
constitutional limit of the state, the
intimation being that previous
boards have exceeded the constitu-
tional levy.
The Times-Record is in error. The
board of equalization this year lev
led total tax of five and two-tenths
mills, which is exactly the same as
last year, the difference being that
the levy Is upon largely increased
valuation.
The tax levy this year is divided
as follows:

The Tribune some time ago pub
lished an article from the Braddock
News, setting forth the allegedly
neglected condition of the state DEM
onstration farm at Hazleton, which
it was claimed had been allowed to
grow up to weeds and was in such
condition that it was a menace to
surrounding farm territory. The
Tribune is advised that the condi-
lions stated did not exist and that
the demonstration farm was we'll
kept and one of the best in the
state Under the circumstances it IS
not strange that the agricultural COL
1ege people, who have charge of the
state demonstration farms, felt ag-
grieved over the statements made
regarding this demonstration plot.
The Tribune is pleased to learn that
the statements made were not found
ed on fact and that the farm, &C.
cording to Superintendent Porter,
was well kept and served its purpose
in showing what can be done with
good seed and proper cultivation in
various parts Of the state.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-08-27

Thus it seems that, in its eager
ness to show that former state
boards levied higher taxes, the
Times-Record is willing to misrepre-
sent and misstate the facts.
The total valuation this year is
something like $278,000,00O The
sum raised for the general fund on
this valuasion will be s1,o55,Ooo an
nually. Thus; if you see it in the
Times-Record and it has anything Of
a political flavor, it is pretty certain
not to be true.
The expenses of the state are
largely increasing, as shown by the
fact that an increase of something
like 33 10 per cent in general rev.
enue is necessary for this coming
year There have been many addi-
tio1lal boards, officers and institu-
lions created, and the payment Of
all OF the expenses takes money.
Last year the tax rate was the same
as this year but upon total valu-
alton some fifty million dollars less.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to

sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il

four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my

seem to do him any good until he be-

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles Of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath.
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. FARM
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
