Casualty List Large.

with a drawing to a close OF the
year 1918, which seems TO exceed all
previous records for calamity and trng-
aides, the casualty list continues to
grow larger and larger One tragedy
after another is presented amid scenes
Of horror and disaster and hundreds Of
human lives are snuFed out every
little while.
The burning OF the steamship Vol
turus at sea claimed as it's victims
more than hundred and following
closely upon its heels comes the de-
struction of the German war airship
Teppeleie, the titanic OF the air, FRI
day, which exploded in midair at a
heighth of 300 feet and came crashing
to the ground carrying twenty eight
persons to instant death Besides the
aircrafts officers and crew, a distin-
guished party OF German Admiralty
were aboard and all met death. Scarce
ly a day passes that the daily papers
do not bear some message OF a tragedy
and the loss OF human lives in appall-
ing numbers.

Believe Banana Fatal Tree.

There exists legend relative to the
Christian inhabitants uf the east that
they believe the banana to be the tree
Of the source of good aud evil, in
bunch of the fruit of which the serpent
that tempted Eve hid itself, and they
add that when Adam and Eve became
ashamed of their nakedness they cover
ed themselves with the leaves OF this
plant.
The origin of the banana is given as
where it has been cultivated since re-
motest antiquity. Its origin in the
new world is as doubtful as the origin
of the American Indian. Natural to
Asia and Africa, where more than 20
distinct species Of the genus are known,
it is said to have been brought first TO
America from Spain early in the six
teenth century and planted in the
island OF Santo Domingo, whence its
spread was rapid through the surround
ing islands md the mainland. This
lhS lltN'i bN'i Nh'llfANlNhlil 'NNh'llFil-
ed, h )wever, and some authorities in
clude the banana among the articles
that formed the base OF food supply of
the Incas and the Aztecs before the
arrival of the Spaniards.
Certain it is that throughout the
whole meridinal America there is
strong tradition that at least two spec
les OF the plantain we're cultivated long
nefore the coming OF the Europeans.
Furthermore, it is singular that in ali
he languages indigenous to the region
where the banana appears that the
plant has a special name, not proceed
ng from the conquerors as was the case
in the names of many other plants,
animals and various articles introd duced
into America after ITS discovery.
Grown over the entire extent of the
meridian of the earth, the fruit of the
banana today forms in large part the
principal food of n majority of the peo-

A Parrot Farm.

Brother Buis was in town this week
from his ranch on the Cimarron and
informed the Globe that his father and
Uncle 10 Rrannon have parrot ranch
on their southern Mexico land, and Just
as soon as the smoke of conflict cleared
away in Old Mexico that these gentle
men would depart to that country and
devote all their time tn raising these
birds.
Brother also informed us confiden-
TALLY that Doc Anshutz, the noted
poultry savant Of the Cimarron, was
the instigator of the Buis- -Brannan par
rot farm project, having recently been
experimenting with parrot, and sue
ceeded in getting cross between the
henibus-owlibus and the parrot, thus
producing = breed Of fowls that not
only lay both during the day and night,
but make n great commotion about the
poultry yard 10y strutting around and
Cabling about the egg. lhey have laid.
The innovation is 50 unique and start
ling that the doctor lost no time in ar
ranging with Capts. Buis and Rrannan
for immediate action, agreeing To take
all the parrots they were able To raree
for a period Of years and a n price
that will make thes" gentlemen Inde-
pendent for the balance Of their days
DR.. Anshutz is wonderfully elated
over his latest aud boldrst poultry ven
ture and says he regards it one of the
greatest triumphs of the age in poultry
development Mead (Ka..) Globe.
We recommend that Capt. Buis and
Brannau employ Editor Fuhr, of the
Globe, if they find any difficulty in
teaching their "henibus-owlib par
rotinctum" to talk for he certainly is
long on that line which, by the way, is
not a failing. However, we'd eau
ton them to beware least their sacred
birds be taught To prevarirate.

Farmers News Scribe Much
Mistaken.

In his mention last week of the Bea-
yer County Fair, the editor OF the
Farmers News was Just little un-
Just and very much mistaken. Among
other things he says
Probably the fewest people were
present at the fair this year than any
year since its organization The farm
products and live stock exhibitions
were much fewer and of poorer class
than usual. The Fair Association will
undoubtedly face deficit. The rae
ing card was much larger and better
than usual. Probably the best string
Of race horses ever gotten together in
Beaver county was in evidence.
Unless some changes are made by
the management, the unity fair
will soon be nothing but race meet
and all things agricultural will be lost
sight Of.
some method should be advanced
whereby real farmers will take charge
Of this department and work up an
active interest in prizes and exhibits.
The people of Beaver must be congrat-
ulated upon their band. IL is well
trained body of real musicians"
Considering the season and the fact
that very little was produced this year
it looks like any fair-minded person
ought TO give the management Of the
County Fair credit for even attempt
ing to make a showing and keep he ad
vantages and possibilities Of our coun
ty in favorable light before the pee.
Pile. Of course the agricultural show
ing was much poorer than formrr
years but why should il not be? Was
the past season such as to make posi-
BILE an elaborate and extensive exhibit?
We consider the showing made mn ex
ceptionally fine one when every thing
is taken into account. Had the season
been favorable, crops bountirul and
barns and granaries bursting with the
fruits of golden harvest well then
might reflection have been cast al
the lack of numerous entries in all de
partments but when we all know un
der lust what discouragements and
distressing conditions the product.
shown were produced, when they were
10y no means lacking in quality, even
though they might have been in quan.
tity, it looks like plain case of Crouch
on the part OF the Knowles windiam
mer.
Few towns having what Beaver ha'
had to contend with the past year
would have had enterprise and energy
and been liberal enough to do what
our town has done. Since they did do
it, bore the whole burden and made
the Fair n success in every particular
the editor of the little 2x4 gimlet Ger
tainly showed streak of yellow when
he attempted to give US black eye
However, Beaver and the management
OF the Fair are not losing any sleeI
over his opinion. Since nobody read,
the Farmers News except few local
subscribers within a radius OF ten mile
OF that burg, very few would have sSeI
the article at all had it not been re-.
prod uced in the HERALD and even had
they seen it, its unjustness would have
been apparent to any reasonable per-

ROADS RUSH into
new TERRITORY

Schafer, N. D., July 24.-The opera
tons of the Great Northern and 500
line railroads in this county are being
watched with interest. AT present
the Great Northern has the grading of
its line well under Roadway, and un-
til recently has succeeded in prevent
ing the 500 line from beginning
operations. Sometime ago the 500
was enjoined against building across
he Fort Berthold reservation m all
work was suspended pending a deci-
sion Of the court, but the action has
just recently been decided in favor of
the 500. Since that time the company
has resumed the preliminary work of
constructing its line out Of Plaza,
having secured permission to parallel
the Great Northern across the reser-
walton.
Following the report that President
Pennington and Chief Engineer Huss
of he 500 line, have been in this
county, comes the information that
the Great Northern will rush its work
from the Yellowstone east through
here. Contractors report that they
have received orders to the effect that
the line must be completed from the
Yellowstone east to the new town of
Watford, five miles west If Schafer

Morton Tax Records Minus $60o,ooo
49, Worth of Property on
Right of Way.

Mandan, N. D., July 24.-Complete
examination of the tax records of
Morton county, bearing on the ques-
ton of property that has escaped
taxation, indicates that approximately
$500,000 worth of property has never
been assessed. 1t will be possible to
collect a total of only about $98, 900
in back taxes, as taxes six years in
arrears are outlawed when the pro-
perty has never been assessed.
The property is owned largely by
line elevator companies and is situat-
ed or railroad right Of way. There
is a provision in the law governing
taxes that railroad right of way,
leased for other purposes. shall be
assessed separately. while the elevator
companies and other lessees have
maintained that they were exempt
from taxation.
States Attorney Biting will enforce
collection Of the back taxes by tax
foreclosures unless the companies
make a settlement. The board of
county commissioners has given him
authority to proceed with such action
as may be necessary to enforce the
collections.
Another feature that will add to
Morton county's tax rolls is in the
discovery of patented homestead lands
that have not been assessed hereto
fore. While these ands were proved
up. the homesteaders had not filed
their patents, and that fact has re-
suited in the failure to assess. It is
understood that there is about 40 900
acres OF land that has escaped taxa

will escape the sin of ignorance, which
lies at the back Of so many later overt
deeds of evil" E@~s

not at all difficult to go. Forewarned
