MODIFY BOND TAXATION.
U. S. Treasury Department Issues New
Instructions.

Washington, d. G., Nov. 29.-Instruc-
tions were issued by the treasury de-
partment last night to collectors of in.
ternal revenue modifying the regula-
tions governing the collection of the in
come tax on bonds and other similar OBJ
legations, Bankers or other collecting
agents are now authorized to attach to
interest coupons presented for collec-
tion their own certificates instead of GER
tificates of ownership signed by the
owners, as originally required. This
change was made to meet widespread
complaint from bankers and brokers that
attaching the owners certificate would
give undesirable publicity in the bust
ness world to the bond owners names.
Under the new order the collecting
agent is required to send the original
certificate to the treasury department
and to use blank prescribed by the
department for the substitute.
Other notifications issued last night
extend until March 81, 1914, the require
ment that the number of bonds from
which interest coupons are detached be
filed in, and extend until January Is,
1914, the time for the use of form
prescribed for foreign holders of coupons
or interest orders. There has been com
pAint that foreigners would not have
time to prepare themselves for compli-
ance with the law

enabling act by congress was in Feb

silver anniversary function in July
Of 1914.
An attempt will be made to show
North Dakota's development from ag-
ricultural, commercial, financial, CIV

For this purpose the albest speakers
Of the state will be selected to bring.
out their respective assignments,
great care being exercised in the Sc.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
How % Make Q Pool For the Water
Garden.

How % Make . Pool For the Watsr
+. Garden.
Nowadays there are many forms Of
gardening, but perhaps few are more
interesting than the water garden.
Most persons have an idea that q va
ter garden IL only possible where there
b q large amount Of room. This Is
quite wrong notion. There must be
few gardens in which 1t ID not possible
to spare a piece Of ground about nine
feet square. and this il all that Is nee
'essary.
{ The situation II q matter Of some
importance. In general way odd
corners are to be avoided, and the
more open the position the better.
A very good formation for the pool
would be that of a rough circle. Six
feet Is suitable measurement for the
diameter Of the pond, which should be
dug out In the form Of a rough basin.
The greatest depth must be in the CEN
ter Of the pool, and the sides should
sink fairly abruptly. In pool of this
size It IL desirable to have a. much
deep water as possible. 20 that there
will be good accommodation for water
lilies. The deepest part Of the pool
should not be less than two feet six
inches and might be q little more.
After the digging out Of the basin
one Of the first steps Is to make sure
that the soil Is pressed down very
firmly In the bottom.
The question of lining the basin now
arises. OF course there is no doubt
that the ideal way is to spread over
the whole Of the floor a layer Of con.
crete. This substance Is formed by
mixing moderate sized stones with CO
sment, and the making Of It is not be-
yond the average amateur. The con-
crete Is spread over the bottom Of the
basin and should not be less than three
inches in thicknesg.

AVERAGE ONLY $3.50 PERYEAR
North Dakota Teachers Not 40 Well

North Dakota Teachers Not 40 Well
Paid 40 Many Others.
The average annual salary paid to
public school teachers in the United
States as . whole is Sass. In one
state the average is only 5000 per
year. The wages received by school
teachers constitute q measure Of two
things: First. the quality of ability
Of the teacher; second, the value the
community puts upon the teachers
services. The fact that teachers
wages are lower than those paid for
almost any other sort Of service
means that - Q nation We are neither
asking for nor getting . high grade
Of service and - . nation we place
. low valuation on tho teachers
work.
Statistics on file at the once Of the
North Dakota Development league

that we stand thirty.second in the
matter Of the number of school teach.
ers employed. There are teaching in
the public schools Of this state 1887
men and women, who receive q total
Of $2.501,102 annually. This 10 an
average Of only 1899 per teacher per
year. The state gets more value
than that from it, teachers aud It
should pay them more.
