CITY EQUALIZATION
BOARD FINISHES WORK

The Moorhead city board Of equali-
cation completed the revision of the
books Of City Assessor Evans. at noon
today, and the books are now in the
hands Of the assessor. who will make
the increases and additions which have
been made by the board in instances
where changes were necessary to make
an equitable equalization. More
changes were made in the personal
property lists than in the realty lists.
Mayor Beck says than in the assess
ment of realty Mr.. Evans took great
pains in attaching the values and fol-
lowing law and rules laid down by the
state tax commission, with the re-
suit that very few changes had to be
made in the realty figures turned In
by the city assessor and which are
about 20 per cent higher this year
to meet the provisions of the new
assessment law.
In all the equalization board has
been in session, at different times
since the sittings began pursuant to
law, about twelve days. Assessor
Evans will now have the changes made
and the revised footings completed
and when that is done the books will
be turned over to County Auditor
Houglum and the tender mercies Of
the Clay county board Of equalization.
1t is stated by officials that the item
of monies and credits will be consider
ably inflated this year and come near
er to the demands of the state tax
commission than any year since the
law providing for the listing Of those
became effective.

PROFITABLE INSPECTION
OF FARMS With SILOS

The silo excursion promoted by
County Agent Clements was held yes
terday afternoon, according to sched-
ule and Cashier Costain Of the First
National bank says that without a
question of doubt the undertaking
proved a very profitable one to the
farmers who took h trouble to ar
ticipate in the enterprise.
Besides Agent Clement, the excur-
sion was accompanied by S~uperinten-
dent of Agents Balmer and Professor
Wilson of the extension department Of
the state agricultural college at Ham
lin. The assembled agents and farm
ers rode out in seven large automo-
bile cars.
The first farm inspected as to silo
construction and cattle feeding was
hat Of L. S. Thorn, then in rotation
the farms Of Frank Kimm, county
commissioner; Levi Thorvedt, George
s. Barnes, Ed. c.. Schroeder, Arthur
Souers, and Ed. Sanders, at each
place viewing different types of silo
construction and methods of feeding
the cattle and dairy herds.
At the Sanders farm the accom-
panying farmers listened to a thor
oughly practical talk on Silos and
Cattle Feeding, by Professor Wilson,
who, impromptu, suggested a question
box and through hat medium a great
deal of valuable information was
brought to the surface and which
aroused considerable interest and add.
ed to the enthusiasm Of the excursion
All concerned were receptive for ev.
cry atom Of information which coulG
be cleaned and there were many ex.
pressions of genuine appreciation t

saying that Mrs. Beyers had only been
in this country about two months and
had no means to meet transportation

the bereaved wife. The mans father
in Germany is also to be informed Of
the accident to his son..

CONTESTANT RESTED
IN HOFFMAN WILL CASE

The hearing Of the Hoffman will
case was resumed before Judge Par
sons in the Clay county district court
this morning. Mrs. Meehan, the con-
testant, who had to leave the witness
chair last Friday on account of an at
tack Of ervou sickness, was able to
complete the giving of her testimony
and after the questioning had been
finished counsel for the contestant,
Mr.. Dosland and Mrs. Rustad, rested
their case shortly before noon. After
the noon recess the case for Henry J.
Hoffman ct al, proponents, was OPEN
ed by counsel, Senator Marden and
William Russell.
For some reason Mrs. Hoffman,
mother Of the contestant, did not
make her daughter a participant in
the will she made distributing the es-
tate which she left. The reason CIV
en- is that the decedent considered
that her daughter had already been
given her share of the estate, but to
this Mrs. Meeham differs n Is seek
ing to have the will put aside and the
matter left to the courts to make an
equitable distribution of the realty,
ETC., comprising the estate.

The VICTIM
OF A FOOL TRICK

Some light-brained youngster was
the cause of burning a little child, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w.
Simmons, early in the evening Of the
Fourth. About 5 o'clock the child was
carrying home a package Of explosives
which were to be used in the celebra-
ton at the home during the evening.
AS the girl was Innocent walking along
some thoughtless lad stepped up be-
hind her and put a match to the fuse
of the explosives In her hand. An ex-
plosion followed and the child's dress
caught fire, but that vas quickly ex-
tinguished before any harm had been
done. but the child's hand was pain
fully burned and the injury required
a dressing by DR.. Gosslee. who. as
quickly as possible, alleviated the pains
from the badly burned hands. It was
stated today that the name of the
miscreant will come to light in a day

The New independence

they inspire will be good or bad ac-
cording as they comply or fall to COM
ply with the great economic laws
that regulate commercial and indus
trial life. They will not necessarily
be good because they are well in
tended, or because they deprive the
unduly acquisitive of their gains or
curb the ardor of the avaricious.
Neither will they necessarily be had
because they disarrange in some parti-
culars for a time our industrial and
social machinery, conflict with notions
Of property and privilege that had be-
come embedded in certain minds and
constrain a part of our great COM
munity to rearrange it's habits Of liv-

Since~ou Jul fathers day life has grown
complex. The old declaration was the
word Of men who took it for granted
that they spoke for people who ex-
pected to shape their WIN course in
life and to take care of themselves.
1t was the word of men who got their
own living, knew how to get 1t, and
asked for no more than access to the
soil or fair protection in whatever
calling they followed. Such men made
the prosperity of our country, and such
men still abound in 1t, and must still
make it prosper, IL 1t lis to prosper. But
along with them have come to be mill
lions Of others, some of them the less
able or less fortunate Sclons OF the
old stock, many of them newcomers
from Europe, whose hope for sub
sistence and that reasonable happiness
which all men pursue depends In q
distressing degree on the justice and
good will of their more fortunate fell
lows. They must find employment.
must seek 1t where lie offers, Inc &C

fathers spoke for. To procure fail
terms and a chance to live as men
should live. they must not only cult
vate and exert their own powers. but
combine to exact the terms they want
or look to government to help them.
There is wealth enough to go around.

Edward S. Martin in the Youths
Companion: One hundred and thirty
eight years from the day we celebrate,
behold us stretching out fumbling
hands for a different independence.
Precisely what that independence Is
very few Of us could define, but he
desire for 1t or the conception Of 1t
seems to be owing to a sentiment that
our old independence has become i'm
paired-not as regards foreign govern
ments, for we fear nothing from them;
but in particulars that concern our
certain 1nalienable rights to "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
There is a very widespread sent1-
ment that some of those rights have
been, and are being flched away from
some Of US. In a country where the
means Of living abound al they have
eve before in history abounded fol-
like numbers, we have seen a rising
tide Of murmuring discomfort. The
span of average life was never SO long
as now, but there Is complaint that the
conditions Of living and of labor cheat
too many out Of the fullness of their
years. 1t is a grievance hat liberty Is
unduly abridged by the exactions of
tasks that the workers cannot escape.
The pursuit of happiness is identified
with the pursuit of money, and from
the East and from the West there
everywhere rises the complaint that in
that race the field has been distanced,
and that the stronger and luck1er com
petitors get far too great a share OF
the prizes.
The desire for a different independ-
ence is born of a wish to allay all thai
are reasonable of these complaints, and
of a hope tt do so by enacting laws
to restrict the powers and privileges
of great combinations of capital, and
to regulate the railways and to di'
minish the protective tariff and tc
transfer to government some powers
thought to be dangerous. that had in
ured to the bankers, and to protect
work people in their dealings with EN-.
ployers and by income and inheritance
taxes to put q larger share Of the costs
of government on those to whom the
protection Of government has been
p~ecuniarily, most profitable.
These are high hopes, and with the
effort to realize them there is wide
! sympathXa Che legislative measures

GARDENERS WIN
FROM WALDORFS

The Gardner team of the Y. M. C.
A. Baseball league, had the good for
tune to defeat the strong Waldorf ag-
gregation of ball beavers. 1t was ex=
tremely fortunate when you take into
consideration the fact hat Cladius
Walski, late of the big leagues, pitch
ed for the Waldorf team. Charlie
Dawson did the slab work for the
Gardnerites and pitched his usual
brilliant game. Larson for the Gard
ner team assisted at two critical places
with two boosts over the right field
fence. The final score was 10 to 5.

Gardner; Walski and another Monson

This picture of John E. Redmond,
one of the men Of the moment in the
British Empire, since the Ulstermen
have begun to arm over the prospect
of home rule, was a photograph from
a Dust just made by F. w. Doyle
Jones, now on exhibition at the Royal
Acadamy in London. Friends Of Mr..
Redmond say that it is a perfect like
ness of him.
He has been quiet since the Ulster
situation became so serious, and has
been heard little. Having fought the
home rule bill through to success he
does not propose to jeopardize his
victory by hasty action which will
cause trouble in Ulster.
Mr.. Redmond made a shrewd move
lately when he seized the Nationalist
Volunteer forces, which have been
organizing and arming like the Ulster
Volunteers of the north. When the
movement was begun companies OF
volunteer soldiers in every community
throughout the south Of Ireland were
formed, but Redmond discouraged 1t
Soon it grew beyond him and he found
he could not prevent 1t. Then an or
der came for his followers to join

before him a critical audience. for half
the reporters in Washington were
brought up beside watermelon patches.
Mr.. Bryan would not have dared to ex-
pose his ignorance to the south by
carving a melon the wrong way before
such company. Thus with the assur-
ance born Of his Florida experience
he seized the knife in his strong right
hand, and he slipped it into the water
melon crosswise, right at the largest
diameter. 1t fell apart gracefully, ex-
posing it's seriousness.
"Oh!" exclaimed an Atlanta news
paperman, who had been watching
Mr.. Bryan in fear that all the sacred
rights Of the watermelon were about
to be violated by a Nebraska farmer.
Mr.. Bryan looked up with a broad
smile.
"Ah want to congratulate you, Mr..
Bryan" said he. "Ah'm a Georgia
republican, but Ah'm going to vote
for you for president in 1915 because
you didn't insult that watermelon"

The Peace Maker-secretary of State Bryan

the greatest force for peace in the
United States. All his energies have
been devoted to the negotiation of
arbitration treaties with foreign ma
lions n the preservation Of quiet in

But a lot of Washington people have
just found out that if you want to
learn how to make little pieces Of a
large watermelon you should call on

he invited many officials. some diplo-
mats n all the newspaper men who
