BRITISH BUDGET DEFICIT.
BUT NO NEW TAXATION
Ii yd George Believes He Can
Make Both Ends Meet
on Existing Basis.

London. April 23.-The House Of Com
mons Yesterday listened TO what was
probably the most optimistic speech
ever delivered by a British Chancellor
Of the Exchequer. From first TO last
il exuberated prosperity. md al the
close the delight of the Liberal mem
bers found expression in prolonged
outburst OF enthusiastic applause.
The budget. he said showed an eX-
penditure Of upward Of S915,OoO,or
and he was faced with the necessity
of finding the sum Of $31 100000 more
than the revenue had brought him dur
ing the fiscal year just closed
There are no indications that the
ira de boom has reached its maximum,
and there arc no signs Of overproduc-

million pounds sterling without any
recourse to fresh taxation Ills faith
in the increasing prosperity Of the
country is unbounded and his calculd
ton is that the revenue on the existing
basis will be amply sufficient to meet
all requirements.
The Liberal papers say, Of course,
that the result is triumph for Lloyd

budget Of 1909, and it is certainly re-
markable that the Chancellor has been
able 10 introduce four budgets in sue

Mr.. Lloyd George estimated that the
increase in the customs and excise
taxes would be SD 900 the in
crease in the death duties $500, 600
and the increase in the income tax
and supertax $5.12O.OOO.
The balance of the shortage would be
made up with the income tax and
other revenue due last year but only
paid at the beginning Of the current
year. and SjO0O.OOO taken from the
Exchequer balances representing
money voted for the navy in 19l1-12,
but not expended.
The Chancellor estimated that the
total revenue on the existing basis of
taxation would be 1919, 125,OOO, leav-
ing a margin of $4,000 over the esti-
mated expenditure.

Kalb street, and if this is proven Cook
County will remain in possession of
this criminal.
Spencer passed restless, feverish
night in his CELL Fear that he will
attempt to kill himself caused dou-
BILE guard to be thrown around his
cell.
Spencer was very angry when he
was accused of lying as to the story
of his many murders. He stormed
when shown kilograms from various
cities denying his blood-curdling
tales.

"and l wasn't full of hop either"

positively identified by Frank Oleson,
owner of the dancing academy,

suitcase found in his room has also
been identified as Mrs. Retreats.
Halpin still sticks to the opinion
that Spencer is nearly as bad as he
claims to be. He is almost certain
he can prove other murders besides
those of Mrs. Rexroat and Mrs.
Wight. His statement that he killed
the latter woman is born out by po-
lice records. Mrs. Wight was beaten
over the head with a hammer. The
police say her assailant took $50.
Spencer claims he got $435. The wo-
man died eight months after the as
sault.
His story that he killed girl nam
ed Bessie Connors in ST. Joseph,
Mich, was also partly born out by a
telegram received by Capt. Halpin.

A NORTH DAKOTA "ALFALFA
PlCNIC."

Many ways are found to promote
better farming but one of the mos
successful has been called to the at
tention of the State Publicity Bureau
at Grand Forks, and that is, the alfal
ia picnic which was held in Ward
county recently. Speaking of this
event, the Ryder News says:
AN Alfalfa Picnic,' was given re-
Gently on the farm of B. ]. Lyness,
near Fessenden. Mr.. Lyness' farm
consists of 1900 acres, and his land
never fails to pay him a profit. This
is due largely to the fact that he has
large herds of blooded stock which
consumes most of the grain raised on
the farm. He has large field of al.
falfa which is now undergoing its sec.
ond cut. A large silo holding 200 tons
was recently completed and another
one about half the size will be erected
on the farm this fall. That alfalfa is
soon to be one of the most paying
crops in North Dakota is an assured
fact. It can be raised anywhere in
this part of the state. All that is need.
ed is little knowlede as to the best
methods of starting the crop.

Farmers Tired Of
Being Preached At
Says Commission

Bismarck, N. D., Sept 30.-,North
Dakota farmers are tried of being
preached at; they are just as anxious
as the business men to make the most
out of their land; they know they
must adopt modern and better farm.
ing methods to accomplish that end.
Farmers, too, are operating on mar
rover margin of profit than any other
industry. This, in substance, is the
view expressed by special commits
sion appointed by Governor L. B.
Hanna to investigate the rural COM
munity needs Of the state, the report
being transmitted to the American
rural commission at Washington, d. c.
"The farmers of North Dakota are
tired of being preached at" says the
commission, which consists of w. P.
Tuttle, w. A. Scott and J. E. Phelan.
present methods in national govern
ment tend to place them on COM
petitive basis with the farmers of the
world they must get all they can out
of their land at the least possible ex-
pense.
I'VE recommend further effort and
extension of agricultural and manual
training in all the schools, extension
of demonstration farms, also better
association. We recommend
untiring efforts in maintaining cor
dial relationship between the farmers
and their brethren of the banks, the
railroads and the commercial cen
ters.
THE uplift is on in North Dakota,
and the intelligence of the farmers is
equal to the task. We believe the
farmers are operating on a narrower
margin of profit, investment and labor
considered than any other interest in
he country -

EIGHT MISSIONARIES FROM n, D,
d. CAPTURED BY CHINESE BR|CANS
Three Escaped From Bandits After Being Stabbed
---Were Relatives of lltChvil|e Man,
Fate of Other Prisoners Unknown.

Wahpeton, N. D., Oct 1.-Captured
by Chinese brigands and in peril of
torture, death and perhaps fate even
worse than death, eight Lutheran
Brethren missionaries, graduates of
the Wahpeton Lutheran college, are
held prisoners by the bandits at
Tsaoyang, China. This information
was contained in cable dispatches
which have been received here. 1t is
believed by church officials here that
when further details are obtained the
list of captured will be increased to
nine and possibly ten.
Three of those believed captured
only recently made their escape from
Chinese bandits after having been
made prisoners and carried away to
the mountain camp of the brigands
