all that he sees, and likes to talk
about his impressions.
"Who is the shabby little man with
the crowd around him." inquired a
Partisan woman in the lobby at tns
Beau Rivage at Geneva. Upon BEING
told that he was Edison, she looked
again and replied:
His clothes look as though they
had cost about so francs, but he has
a brain great enough to make him
emperor of France"
Edison feels the charm of the old
pls asant and rich countries through
which he passes, but he admires most
the delicate and intelligent sklll OF
the Swiss workmen. He attributes
their fine precision to the generation
OF watchmakers. my chief man,
Wurth, whom I have pensioned,' said
Edison. Gig a Swiss, and I have en-
ployed more than one thousand OF
them"
The only correspondence Edison
bothers with on his holiday Is TO
autograph the photographs of himself

The Mont-de-Piete of Paris, the
government pawn shop, has issued its
report for last year, showing that
nearly 100000 were loaned on
91O,118 articles, more than 100000
being upon jewelry or objects of art
The experiences of the government
in Paris, and the report
says in the provinces also, show that
people pawn more during periods OF
prosperity than during depressed
times, because in prosperity small
business people need capital and do
not have sufficient standing to borrow
Of the banks. Hence they avail them
selves of the government pawning
bureaus, and put up personal prop
erty as security. Pawning has been
in France since 1892
the working classes, due the
report says, probably to there having
been fewer strikes.

tons of labor on those two days and
the remuneration therefor, under the
bill, would conform as far as possible
to what prevails on Sundays. A fixed
date, April Is, is selected for Easter
Day.
Finally the bill, if passed by parlia

the government decides that sufficient
international concurrence has been Sc
cured.
The Derby Sweepstakes, organized
by the Calcutta Turf club, the great
est sweep in the world, which has
grown to gigantic proportions, is in
danger of being abolished or at least
considerably curtailed. Under Indian,
like British law, clubs can organize
sweepstakes for members only.
The Calcutta Sweep was started
like the sweeptake in all London clubs
on the Derby to enable members to
have an interest in the race without
CHANGING much money. Unlike the
others, however, the Calcutta one
grew far beyond this tickets being
sold to anybody and everybody, and
il was hard to find a European In
India or one who had ever been there
who did not have ticket or at least
ar interest in one.
Ten years ago the first prize In
the sweep was worth about 100000;
last year it was worth nearly quar-
ter of a million dollars. The first
prize last year went to a doctor, wFo.
however, had sold a half interest in
the ticket for 100000.

to give the visitors fine entertainment.
Aside from the exhibits, and they will
be something we'll worth seeing, an
attracting race program has been ar
ranged. In a number of the harness
races purses of $500 have been hung
up. There will be two such events,
one on Thursday and one on Friday.
Then there will be running races OF
a high order, exhibits of riding by
the daredevil cowboys of the ranges,
including many from Montana.
Another master attraction is aero
plane exhibitions by Bob St. Henry.
We will make flights daily and he has
an aviation record second to none.
The Beach Military band will give
daily concerts on the grounds and
in addition will appear on the streets
in the evening where a big carnival
will entertain the visitors. 1t is to
be an all day show each day of the
fair.
Excursion trains will be run both
ways on the Northern Pacific and will
carry passengers at reduced rates
during the fair Beach has two big
hotels and the Commercial club will
operate a bureau of information for
the accommodation of visitors so that
all will be supplied with rooms in
which to sleep.
The week promises much in the way
of good entertainment and will be
taken as a: vacation season by many
people.

State TAX IS NOT
VERY BURDENS0ME
AVERAGE OF THE STATE TAX
AMOUNTS TO LESS. THAN TWO
CENTS PER ACRE.
Cas- County Has Highest Tax and
Mckenzie County the Lowest. Fig
ures Are Interesting.

It is not generally so understood
but the changes made by the state
board of equalization affects only th<
state tax, and according to figures
compiled in the Office Of the stet
auditor the state tax for 1911 vii
amount to an average of less than
two cents an acre. The tax on the
average quarter section tract is but
$3.04. The county paying the highest
tax on $50 acre tracts is Cass county
with $500, the amount per acre being
| less than four cents. The county pay
ing the lowest amount is Mckenzie
less than one cent an acre, or $1.42
on each $50 acre tract.
Now from these official figures it
will be seen that this state tax is no!
burdensome to the average farmer,
nor anyone else except on the theory
that all taxes are burdensome.
In 1910, the only figures available,
it is learned that nearly AZ per cent
of all the taxes collected was for
the school and educational tax Out Of
total taxes levied Of $1,000, 0S1.31 the
schol and educational portion was
$4,172,265.64. Nearly $500, 900 of taxes
were levied and turned over to the
state educational institutions.
These figures, it is urged, are the
strongest argument against the estab-
lishment of additional educational in
situations at this time and are being
used against the Minot normal school
proposition.
In 1910 the taxes for the different
departments of government were as
follows:
State tax, which includes
educational institutions 81 ,213 ,59o.97
School taxes ........... 1896. 463.53
County taxes ........... 2,495, 564.44
City and town taxes. -. 2,152,56
Other special taxes. ..... 262,S95.77
These figures are interesting and
Instructive and will prove educational
when properly applied
The total amunt of per capita school
fund apportioned for the September
this year is approximately
$1OS,00O.

DIsFlGuRiNG ECZEMA CURED

My nephew first showed signs Of
eczema on the middle finger, and It
came out like blister. He must have
rubbed his face with that hand, as it
then broke out on his nose the same
way. When the blisters broke, they
shrivelled up and formed scabs. His
nose was covered with scabs, and it
was very itchy. He was badly dis
figured with unsightly scabs. At first,
his nose was sore, and it gradually
became worse so his mother took him
to the doctor. He told her to rub the
scabs off every day, and annoint the
affected part with the medicine he
gave her.
THE man must have been insane,
as that was extreme torture to the
child, who was only two years old at
the time. Well, we decided that that
treatment would have to end. | sug-
gested Cuticura Ointment and they
bought it and put it on freely every
day for two weeks. He had the ec-
zema for four weeks altogether, but
was getting gradually worse until they
used the Cuticura Remedies, and he
was cured in two weeks. He most
certainly would have been SCARED
with the other treatment, but now he
hasn't single mark. Cuticura Rem
edies cured him in two weeks, and

STYLES FOR THE BRUNETTE
Vivid coIorings, So Popular Just Now,
Need Dark Beauty to Set
Them of.

At a recent style show held in
Washington under the patronage of a
committee of society women the liv-
ing models chosen were girls with
brown hair and brown eyes. No mat
ter how beautiful girl of the blonde
type might be, she did not have a
chance of being chosen for the show
The blonde girl is not admired this
season, for she does not bring out the
good points of the new Ncreations"
and dreams" launched by the Paris
dressmakers for the winter season.
Poiret, the most daring of the Paris
dress artists, still clings to the orien-
tai in his latest models. He has final
ly acknowledged his "jupe pantalon"
or Turkish trouser skirt to be fail
ure. but the wonderful vivid colorings
of the orient still hold his attention
and in some of his startling new after
noon and evening frocks he has COM
bined vivid reds, blues and green's
color schemes which would be lurid
and terrible except when combined
with the master hand of Poiret and
worn by woman of the right type. :
The fair beauty of blonde model
is eclipsed when she dons one of these
frocks with its vivid color notes. She
is not the woman to set it of to best
advantage. so an olive skinned. al
mond eyed beauty is chosen in her
place. 1t is said there will be no
fiaxen haired models employed at any
Of the big style shows held in this
country or Paris. Only the languor-
Gus beauties who suggest the mystery
OF the orient are in demand.
