States, and who had been very seri-
ously injured several times in wrecks

Hamilton had experienced slight
lung and heart trouble while making
flights on several occasions, and once
said that volplaning, or swooping
down from a height, was dangerous to
the heart. He. often felt severely, he
said, the strain of his calling.

BIG RAILROAD TAX PAYMENTS
Over Million and a Half Paid tn vari.
u Counties Of North Dakota
in 101S.

According to figures compiled the
total tax paid in North Dakota in
1917 for all purposes by the railroads
Of the state aggregate $1.539,346.09.
This is the first time that the tax paid
by n railroads in the state has ever
been ascertained. These figures we're
gathered from the trcasurers of the
various counties of the state and veri-
fled and checked with the statements
Of the various railroad companies.
Owing to the act that the valuation
of the railroad mileage in each coun-
state board of equalization and the
levy made by the county, there has
never been my RECORD kept by the
state OF taxes paid by railroads.
The application of the average rate
of the state to railroad valuation docs
not give the correct tax owing to the
fact tina so large an amount. of tho
property Of railroad companies Ii. in
country districts where the rate is
very low. Tho total tai levy for all
purposes in the state amounts to little
less than twelve million dollars SO that
the railroads OF the state pay appro-
ximately thirteen per cent of.all taxes
ncnts such as those levied by cities
and villages for paving. sewer. side
walks. etc. n special drainage tax.
The taxes paid by the several rail-
roads are as follows:

Elmira, N Y, Aug. 1.-Two players
of the Elmira team of the New York
State league appear destined to go to
the big show at the end of the present
State league season. They are Meusel.
a left fielder loaned by Washington to
the Colonies, and Dick Kaufman, A
first baseman who is said to have
made a good impression on the White
Sox scout. Meusel is hitting 1928 for
eighty games, and Kaufman has
batting average Of .296 for eighty-four
games.
Meusel in eighty contests has
amassed 103 bingles, many Of which
have been of the extra base variety.
He is a young man, throws right
handed and bats from the right side
of the plate. And he throws, as every
body in the league who has tried to
take an extra base when he is nelding
the ball can testify, for they have been
caught in nearly every instance. Meu-
sci is a cool sort of player and goes
about in a graceful but determined
manner.
Kaufman is a six-footer, who uses
the right arm for throwing purposes,
but standing on the right side OF the
plate to hit. His aggressiveness and
timely hitting makes him one OF the
most valuable first basemen the State
league has ever had. He, like Meusel,
Is young man in the game, having
started in the Tri-State league three
years ago.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred H. Ayres wish to
thank their many friends who so kind
ly assisted them through the illness
and death of their little son, Byron,
also for the beautiful floral tributes.
In Memory Of Little Byron.
Budded on earth to bloom in heaven,
God took our cherub so recently given,
To lead SO gently by the hand
With other babies in Beulah Land.
Fairest are flowers that quickly fade
And Gods own will be done,
'Tis only the veil in babylan6
That keeps us from our son.
The God that gave us Byron,
Needed him up above,
Where flowers bloom forever
And all they know is love.
Bye bye baby darling
Some day we will meet you there,
Where all is peace and sunshine,
No more sorrow, no more care.

FEED SORGO.

Feed Sorgo has been known to
mature seed in sixty days. but
under ordinary conditions seven
~ five to eighty days are requir-
ed for it to mature. Because of
its early maturity, it is a salts
factory crop for growing in the
extreme western part Of Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. in many
respects ittresembles amber cane
but differs from it, in that the
stalks are not as juicy or as sweet
and that the grain is free from
the material that MAKES cane
seed undesirable for feeding pur-
poses. Extracts from letters Of
the Kansas Agricultural College
Manhattan. Kansas, under date
Of March 4 1914,
l have a limited amount of this
seed which matured here last
year. when black cane, kafr corn
and milo failed to do SO, and as
it grew every day during our hot
weather last summer, it cann.t
<be beaten for a drought resis,er.
Will sell this seed for $4.OO per
hundred while it lasts, so get
your order in early.
