Columbia, November 3O.-Determin-
ed to enforce the provisions of the
income tax law vigorously, and also to
have the county auditors carry out
his instructions, Comptroller General
Jones has prepared and sent out a
circular of instructions to every. coun-
ty in the State regarding this mat
ter. Gen. Jones has been gathering
data and information in regard to the
income tax situation in all sections
OF the State, and has opened a cam
paign to have the auditors of each
county have every person liable for
income tax assessed. If person
thought to be liable for the income
tax fails to make return, the auditor
assess on account of said income tax
such amount as appears such taxpayer
is liable for, from the best obtaina-
BILE information, and penalty of so
per cent is to be added
Must Appear Before Auditor.
A person thought to be liable for
income tax, and failing to make the
return, is to be served with a notice
to appear before the auditor for ex-
animation, the notice to be served by
the sheriff. In addition to the tax
payer, the auditor can summon and
require any other person having
knowledge of his affairs to appear and
testify and forms for these summons
es have been printed and sent out
Form No. is for ser ice on the tax
payer and Form No. for service on
any person having knowledge of the
taxpayers affairs.
Governor Blease will back up Comp
troller General Jones in his efforts 10
have all persons liable for income tax
returns assessed, and any auditor fail
ing or refusing to carry out the in
structions stand chance Of being
removed by the Governor.
sword to the Wise, Etc"
In letter to Auditor Nj. l.. Gullick,
of Greenville County, Comptroller
General Jones calls attention to the
information he has relative to per-
sons in that county liable for income
tax, who made no returns, and Gov
ernor Blease wrote on this letter "a
word to the wise should be sufficient"
clearly conveying the information that
he will back up the efforts of the
Comptroller General to have Green
ville's auditor do his duty.
In the letter to Auditor Gullick the
Comptroller General says: You will
proceed to have Tie notice-Form No.
as per the circular of instructions,
served on each Of them, together with
the circular of instructions and in
come blank; and, if after eXamina-
tion as directed in the circular, you
find they are liable, forthwith assess
the tax against them. AS instructed
in circular, you should not take the
bare statement of any of them that
they are not liable to the tax, without
making a detailed examination into
the facts as required by the circular
In every case require the taxpayer to
swear to his return on the income

Renlling his pipe and leaving trail

| Refilling his pipe and leaving trail
of smoke behind him he set out boldly
for ST. James. When he came to the
| three graves he stopped, remember
ing that Obadiah had said they were
his graves. A sort of grim horror be-
gan to stir at his soul as he gazed on
the grass-groWn mounds-proofs that
the old councillor would inherit place
in the Mormon heaven, having obeyed
the injunctions of his prophet on
earth. Nathaniel now understood the
meaning of his words of the night be-
fore. This was the family burying
ground of the old councillor
He walked on, trying in vain to con-
centrate his mind solely upon the
business that was ahead of him. A
few days before he would have count
ed this walk to ST. James one of the
events Of his life. Now it had lost it's
fascination. Despite his efforts to de-
stroy the vision OF the beautiful face
that had looked at him through the
kings window its memory still haunt
ed him. The eyes. soft with appeal;
the red mouth, quivering, and with
lips parted as il about to speak to
him; the bowed head with It's tum-
bled glory of hair-all had burned
themselves upon his soul in a picture
too deep to be eradicated. If st.
James was interesting now it was be-
cause that face was a part of it. be.
cause the secret of it's life, of the
misery that it had confessed to him,
was hidden somewhere down there
among it's scattered log homes.
Slowly he made his way down the
slope in the direction OF Strang's cas-
tie, the tower of which, surmounted
by Its great beacon, glistened in the
morning sun. He would find Strang
there. And there would be one chance
in thousand of seeing the girl--if
Obadiah had spoken the truth. AS he
passed down he met men and bows
coming up the slope and others NOV
ing along at the bottom Of 1t, all 60
ing toward the interior of the island.
They had shovels or rakes or hoes
upon their shoulders and he guessed
that the Mormon fields were in that
others bore axes; and now
and then wagons, many Of them drawn
by oxen, left the town over the road
That ran near the shore OF the lake.
lhose whom he met stared at him
curiously, much interested evidently
IN the appearance of stranger. Ma
thanlel paid but small heed to them.

SOUTH DAKOTA Fruit
SelectiaE Tested Varieties and Method

o0iecfidk teSteu varieties anu H'e'''S~
Of Culture important
Pierre-The horticulturists OF South
Dakota are an intelligent and en-
thusiastic lot of men and their an
nral gatherings are interesting and
valuable occasions, and the meeting at
Pierre has been exceptionally inter-
esting.
1t is needless to say the aborig nal
prairies Of this region did not pre-
sent promising field to the early
arrivals for development along horti-
cultural lines. The region had very
little wild fruit A few wild plums
and buffalo berries along the sire" ms
an occasional wild grape vine and a
few scattering sand cherries oomHris-
ed about all this prairie offered in
a fruit way.
Moreover there was a deeply found
ed beliefe fruits would not thrive here
and beginners were discouraged from
wasting time in horticultural en- er-
prises. Nevertheless. men of coura ye
and intelligence have made the prai-
ris to bloom and to bear fruit until
our annual product of apples, plums.
cherries, Strawberries and small frui s
comprise no small feature in the sum
OF our yearly wealth.
Prof. Niels E. Hansen has been the
most enterprising of the hortic"1tur-
sts in the state. Long ago he set
out to produce varieties pecu' iarly
adapted to the rigors of this region
He proceeded upon the theory the
native stock would give the neces-
sary hardness and that hybrid cation
with largr and tenderer varieties
would give size and quality, and his
His most notable success perhaps has
been with the native Sioux sand che
ry, upon which he has grated the
Japanese apricot, SO successfully he
has achieved hardy, thrifty, STAN
dard fruit Of large size, fine quality
and exceedingly prolific. His s,rnbea II
raspberry, the hardest variety OF
them ALL has recently won TIE ap-
probation of the Minnesota hortic 1t
uralists and has been placed up"n
their recommended list. He has not
standard fruits.
Time has proven in every Sc t on
the people can supply themselves with
IN abundance of fruit If they care t.
apply themselves to the mat er. We
have several commercial och"r1s
which are exceedingly profitable, one
year with another. Perhaps the mes.
profitable quarter section of land in
the state devoted to cropping Is a
quarter section OF apple trees in Tur-
ner county. The Black Hills reg on
is peculiarly adapted to fruit. AMI
there are many commercial orchards
and plantations of small fruit there.
In the prairie sections the grea est
obstacle to success is unseasona' ly
warm weather IN February and
March. which opens the buds and sub
iects the fruit to hard freezing lite.
Methods of holding hack" the tuds
have been devised, however, and the
fruit crop is fast becoming as depend
able as the potato crop.

Was Taking No Chances.

An amusing incident occurred few
days ago outside Maranz. Austria
A COW strayed from the pasturage and
came within reach of the fort The
officer in command suspected the pres
ence of an automatic Photographic aD-

closely examined and when he found
nothing to justify his suspicious he
turned the animal loose again, under
the observation of two of his men,
charged with the duty of following the
suspected home to ascertain whether
her owner was an Italian spy.
