PR0CLANATI0NS
BY THE GOVERNOR

| Today we are living at time in the
history of our country when the ques-
ton of the preservation OF our re-
sources, natural and otherwise, is re-
ceiving great deal Of attention The
question of the preservation Of any
sort Of property from extravagant or
needless waste, should receive kind
ly reception from the general public.
One of the vital problems which
should be called to the attention of
our people for a proper solution Is the
situation with reference to the i'm
mense waste OF property and re-
sources in all parts of the country by
fire.
A year ago last winter our State
Legislative Assembly saw fit to au-
thorize a Fire Marshal Department
for the State of North Dakota and
from statistics gathered to date, it
would prove that their action along
these lines was very wise and bene-
fetal measure. Our Fire Marshal De-
partment is a new institution and it
would seem that they are entitled to
every aid and help in the preservation
from the prevention of fires, and re-
members less numbe rof fires means
a reduction in the premium rate for
fire insurance.
For reasons set forth, and deeming
it eminently right and proper that we
should direct our special attention to
the unnecessary loss by fire in this
state, and in order to arouse the peo-
pie to a more active interest In this
matter, I. L. B. Hanna, Governor of
the State of North Dakota, do hereby
proclaim that
Friday, the 9Th Day Of October, 1914
be known as
STATE FIRE PREVENTION DAY
and l earnestly recommend and ask
that the children in our schools and
the adults in their homes and places
of business, observe this day by gen.
eral cleaning up and removal Of waste
and rubbish;
And, further, I would especially
recommend and ask that the teachers
in our schools and those at the heads
of our other institutions and factories
see that the proper fire drills are on
this day inaugurated and held at
stated intervals thereafter, in order
to prevent horrible loss of life in
case of fires. .,

Uses Gun to Poke Out Rabbit.

Lake City, Ia, Dec. 14.-Oscar
Crandall and Frank Daisy, two II
year-old boys Of this city, took adj
vantage of the first snow of the sea-
son and went rabbit hunting Tues
day afternoon. Daisy sought to poke
the rabbit out CT a shock of corn
fodder with the butt of his gun. Tne
hammer of the gun caught in the
band of the SHOCK and fired the gun.
The charge entered Crandal's leg
just below the knee, SCATTERING both
bones to such a degree that the limb
had to be amputated above the knee.
The loss of blool was so great before
medical aid could be had that life
was despaired of until yesterday
morning, when the boy rallied and
hope is now entertained for his re-
covery.
This is the third shooting accident
that has happened in Lake City with
in the last three weeks. Edgar I,
Bowles was accidently shot Thanks
giving day, necossitating the amputa.
ton of parts of both feet, and Carl
Wood was hit by stray bullet Will
on the way to town Sunday after
noon.

WINNESHIEK WAR HORSES.
VIM. Post & Son of New York Bought
Car Load i'm DEBORAH
Saturday.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Post and Mr..
and Mrs. Fred H. Post and son of
East Williston, Long Island, New
York were DEBORAH visitors Satur-
day. They came to DEBORAH in conf
pany with Andrew Anderson, of this
city, who has been in the west for
the past three months buying war
horses for the firm.
Since the European war opened
VIM. Post & Son have purchased 15,-
600 head of horses at Omaha, Miles
City, Mont. and ST. Louis, paying in
the neighborhool of $3,500,000 for
them All of the animals have been
shipped to France.
The car load they bought in De-
corah Saturday we're shipped to St.
Paul Monday night, accompanied by
Messrs. Erick and Andrew Ander-
son. One team in the lot, pair Of
handsome boys brought $500. The
prices for good many others aver
aged around $3.50.
The horses are for cavalry and ar
t:llery purposes and weigh from $50
to 1900 pounds. Post & Son expect
to buy /, 900 more horses in st. Paul
this week. NJ. Post informed us
that the average life of a horse over
in the warning countries is about
five days. At that rate the horse
markets of the world stand to be de-
pleted if the war goes on for two OR
three years. OF course the animals
being bought for the war are not the
grade heavy draft horses are being
sought at present.

PAID $24 WAR TAX.
r.. j. Vangsness of Glenwood Town
ship Paid $24 War Tax on
23S Acres.

The first farm sale in Winneshiek
county, on which a big war tax was
required took place last Thursday.
E. ]. Vangsness, of Glenwood town
ship sold a 23S acre farm in that
township to Gunder S. Oyen. The
consideration was 500 an acre, or
$23,S00. In order to admit the
deed to record Mr.. Vangsness was
required to pay war tax Of $24 at
the county recorders office.
! County Recorder Wise of Winnie
shiek county received the following
data relating to the stamping of doc
uments, from the Internal Revenue
office at Dubuque:
On deeds with a consideration Of
l$1.00, or without valuable consiG-
Grafton, the tax is based upon the ac-
tual value of the real estate conveyed
by the instrument. No instrument
required by law to be stamped shall
be recorded until the proper amount
of stamps shall have been affixed
thereto. Deeds are taxed on the val
ue of the consideration in excess OF
the value of any lien or encum
brance thereon. For example, a deed
conveying property valued at 500
1000 upon which there is a mortgage
of $4,000 is taxed on $4,000. The
tax required is at the rate of so cents
for each $500, or fractional part
thereof, Of such unencumbered value.
On the $4,000 trapsaction, stamps
to the amount of $40 should be affiX-
ed Instruments conveying less than
500 actual value are not taxed.
Mortgages and assignments of
mortgages are not taxed. Releases
of mortgages and deeds of trust op-
erative as mortgages are not subject
to taxation, no matter in what form
they are executed.
Bills of Sale are not Taxed.
A contract for deed used in selling
real estate is not subject to stamp
tax.
| Acknowledgements of notaries pub.
| lie and affidavits are not required to
! be stamped.
A deed executed and delivered pri-
or to December i, 1914, is subject TO
stamp tax when offered for record
after that date.
Escrow deeds are not subject to
taxation until final delivery.
Contracts for sale of land are tax
able if they vest title, if provision is
made for future delivery of deed,
they are not taxable.
Certificates of any descriptions re-
quired by law, not otherwise speciil-
ed in the act, are subject to the tax

PREPARE YOUR CASE.

In one of the rural school districts
OF prosperous state a meeting OF
citizens was recently called to con-
slider raising the teachers pay.
The teacher had been getting the
munificent salary of $35 a month for
a seven months term. Some of the
folks thought that it was worth more
than this to have the thirty-two chill
dren of the neghborhood carefully
and sympathetically trained. The
school directors agreed to obey the
will of the majority.
When the meeting came to order
it soon appeared that the opposition
to better paid teaching came from
two well-to-do men who argued that
taxes were already high enough.
Ordinarily such plea would have
gained a good deal of support among
citizens hard pressed by the struggle
to live.
This time it was met by a quick
witted chap who figured to a decimal
how much the proposed increase
would raise the two wealthy farmers
tax bills-a matter of a very few
cents.
IF these gentlemen are the only
ones who feel that $35 dollars &
month is all they can afford to pay
for a competent teacher, l will glad
lily be one of twenty-five persons, he
said, to pay penny extra and thus
lift the awful burden from their en-
Lbarrassed shoulders"
A smile encircled the meeting; the
two remonstrants looked foolish, thu
proposal of an increase was put to a
vote and carried unanimously.
You can win good causes before al
most any jury if you take brains and
pain to prepare your case.
