~ADDY had just heard Of the strange adventures Of a certain little
bunny rabbit. and he" asked Jack and Evelyn how they would like
9 to hear about them.
IT think a bunnys adventures ire always very interesting and
unusual" said Jack.
"a bunny named Pgeon!" shouted both the children at once NOW,
daddy. why was a bunny named PigeonT' And daddy said: n"
You see his mother was very friendly with Mrs. Pouer Pigeon. There
had beer a time when Mrs Pouer Pigeon had hurt her left wing, and she
hadn't been able to fly. She cried and cried when this happened, and Mother
Rabbit who ws very kind hearted, hurried to her right away @@5
why, what is the trouble Mrs. Poutr PigeonT said Mother Rabbit
"Oh' sobbed Mrs. Pouter Pigeon, I have fallen and hurt myself terribly
I won't be able to get out Of the reach Of bigger animals who may want to

THOSE BANK ASSESSMENTS.

There has been an effort on the
capital out of the bank assessments
by the state board of equalization last
year. This has been due to the fact
that there are varying percentages for
different counties and this has led
some unthinking people, who are I'M
familiar with the actual facts, to in
sist there has been injustice and un-
fairness. These percentages run from
% to 70 per cent, depending upon the
returns to the state boards from the
county boards. There was a desperate
effort made by the board to equalize
the assessments by increases and de-
creases.
The difficulty was due to the meth
DDS pursued by different counties. In
Cass, for instance, the county board
took the sworn statements of the
banks and turned them in without
even deducting realty Investments and
in the face Of protests that the banks
were being taxed twice on the lands
they owned. Then an arbitrary val
uation was fixed at rs per cent. In
many counties certain deductions were
made. In some all the deductions pos
sible were made. The state board did
sessments were sent in by the differ
ent counties.
The Cass county bank assessment
were made by the county board tc
conform to the advice and suggestions
Of Mr.. Birdsell, a member of the state
tax commission.
1t would seem that some uniform
system might be made by which a
fixed percentage, hat would be fair tc
other property, could be established
This plan would be equitable and
would make much easier work for the
county and state boards.
Under the present catch-as-catch-can
system, by exaggerating the value OF
realty Investments and buildings, a
TALLY used for banks and for other
purposes, some bankers almost make
the county and state w them money
instead of owing taxes,
Certain papers friendly to the can
didacy of Mr.. Burdick for governor
have carried supplements containing
false statements regarding the bank
assessments and e~ndeavoring to re-
fleet upon Governor Hanna. They
have even contended that Cass county
bank statements were left at rs pei
cent because Hanna owned the FRS
National bank of Fargo. AS a matter
of fact he possesses only fifteen shares
of stock in that bank.
Besides, Governor Hanna is only one
member of the state board of equali.

Furthermore, the Cass county bank
assessments were turned in accord

Eous outburst of enthusiasm, decided to
kendorse a farmer to represent them in

Hansborough has come out openly in
Support of Andrew Miller. Senator
Nrouna in this issue of The Forum
has a statement in which he claims to
Ehave positive proof that Miller has

Rthe old stunt Of meeting in the twin
hcities to scheme out the North Dakota
political campaign n that Miller wa
kthere. This report has reached The
EForum- from a dozen different sources,
Vail of them reliable.
What is the reason?
One of the principal reasons is that
John H. Worst is absolutely independ-
tent of political ties. He comes up
from the people, is endorsed and sup
Lported by the people and will be re-
Fsponsible, if nominated and elected,
solely to the people.
The politicians know that they can
not handle John H. Worst. He is
one of the biggest men in North Da-
kota, fearless, independent and aggres-
sive. The election Of such a mar
would be a body blow to the profess
sional politicians.
On the other hand the crafty, smooth
standpatter, who formerly ran things
with a high hand in his state, see a
chance to win out in this three cor
nered fight. They do not want either
Worst or Gronna. 1t is alleged they
have made their peace with Miller and
that the old machine is to swing into
line back Of his candidacy.
Can the standpatters hookwink the
people of North Dakota as Of yore?

The Army Worm Pest

The farmers Of certain sections OF
Illinois suffered very severe losses
from visitation" Of the army worm.
Alarming numbers Of these pests at

ems but in some instances lawns and
flower beds in the towns and cities
were attacked and much destruction
occurred In one section the farmers
were Obliged to cut their oats by Ian
tern light to save the crop from the
hosts of devour1ng worms.
As one writer stated, Probably the
most satisfactory method OF staying
this worm Is to beat him to death
with a club" but to bring the swiftest
death to the greatest number, the fol-
lowing favorite prescription Of Prof.
Stephen A. Forbes was used with good
effect. He says: Take twenty pounds
of bran, one pound Of paris green,
and little syrup. Mix into crumbly
bran mash. Then SOW it in the eve
ming over the troubled area. The next
day go out and count the dead" THE
army worm is with us always SAID
Mr.. Forbes "Only at periods when
conditions conduce to its multiplied
ton it becomes noticeable pest. When
it is produced In great numbers 1t IS
necessary for some of the worms TO
travel to get food-then 1t becomes
known as the army worm. A sue
cession of two or more dry seasons
encourages the army worm to greater
numbers. The central west was not
the only section of the country visited
by the army worm during the past
summer. At one time-the latter part
of July-parts Of the east suffered
from these pests. In the city Of Wash
ington, lawns, gardens and even
sidewalks and driveways were literally
covered with these repulsive crawling
creatures"

Using Commercial Fer

There are doubtless many condi-
tilizers judiciously applied. may prof
itably be used to stimulate q more
vigorous growth, both in new and old
seedlings but the idea that ia more or
less prevalent that commercial fertil-
izers may be used to Immediately
make any soil productive is a fallacy.
Commercial fertilizers should be ap-
piled in an experimental way until
the farmer has learned what may best
be used under local conditions. On
many soils lime does not seem to be
needed for alfalfa, but on others it Is
absolutely essential to the successful
growing of this crop. 1t Is we'll to
apply lime on portion Of the field

there is any other indication of an
