OPEN AIR SCHOOLS FOR N. D,

1T is not improbable but that
one Of the subjects which will
have the attention and interest at
the coming of the State Education
al Association, which meets at
Grand Forks in November, will be
that of open air schools for North
Dakota. The secretary of the
North Dakota Anti-Tuberculosis
Association believes that this
subject derserves attention.
Many fresh air advocates be-
lieved 1or some time that the
open-air school could be made a
success i'll, our own tates. This
year a practical demonstration
of such school has been made at
Bismarck, where five little folks
have attended regularly. even

collect in dangerous quantities if
conditions become favorable. To
avoid such acculumation of the
gas, the doors hould be left open
as long as possible. Men should
not stay in the silo when the
blower is not running, and es-
pecially they should not sit or lie
on the fresh silage. If the work
has been interrupted for any
lenght of time, men should not
again enter the silo until the
blower has been running for a few
minutes. This removes the
dangerous gases. In the case
of a pit silo, men should never
remain in the silo when the blower
is not running, and the blower
should always be started before
anyone enters the silo.

GENERAL BUSINESS REVIVAL

Every indication now points to
the fact that a general business
revival is opening up. This is
due to a number Of causes. Pri-
marily the big crops are RESPONSE
BILE to certain extent, but in ad-
dition to the crops, the great in
crease in export trade made pos
sible because of the European war
is being felt in all lines. The
United States is acculumatiny
great wealth at the expense of the
foreign countries. The steel in
dustry, which is an important one
is in very prosperous condition
here, railways are finding it nee
essary to make very material in
crease in their working forces.

les, and railways busy there are

POINTS TO BE Remember n
MAKING slLAoE

Corn intended for silage is at
the proper state Of maturity when
the kernels are we'll dented and
are beginning to glaze.
Corn in good condition to be
put into the silo will give good
results if cut three-fourths of an
inch in length. II corn is fair
~ dry, it should be cut into
pieces not over .one-inch in
length.
Field loading of either loose
or cound corn can best and most
economically be accomplished By
allowing two men to hand up and
one to arrange bundles on the
wagon according to careful
test carried on at the University
Farm.
When bundles are carefully
loaded, the time spent unloading
is 40 per cent less than when the
bundles are loaded promiscuous-
ly.
In loading green corn, the butts

A short recess was taken at 10000
when every child took a run out
side and then returned to help in
the preparation of simple hot
lunch which was varied each day
These lunches consisted of soup
and waters; barley coffee and
cookies; hot milk and toast; CO.
Goa and waters and other things
that were easily served and would
tend to warm up the small citi-
zens. Montessori's idea of lett
ing the children help in the pre-
paration and service worked out
beautifully as there was nothing
broken or spilled during the term.
Correct table manners were in
sisted upon and the children look
ed forward to this little tea party
each day with great deal of de-
light. Mentally the young people
were alert and made splendid re-
cords; each one doing two years
work in six months time.
The school room was glass on
three sides with sliding openings
On each side so the direct wind
could be avoided. A heavy rug
was used on the floor and the
children each had a. plush lined
canvas bag to sit on during the
coolest weather. Hot stones were
placed inside the bags to warm the
feet when the days were too severe
without some heat.
The parents were so we'll pleas !.
ed with the results that every one
has expressed a wish to repeat the
experiment. They feel that they
can recommend open-air schools
to the people and school boards
Of North Dakota without reserve.

SINKING OF ANcONA
GETS AUSTRIA IN TROUBLE
Smelling of Craft After it Had Stopped
Is Branded as BarbaIous
Action.

Washington.-Th text of the Amer
lean note to Austria-Hungary regard
ing the sinking of the Italian steam
ship Ancona, made public Monday, re-
veals formal demand by the United
States for prompt announcement of
the "illegal and indefensible' act, for
punishment of the submarine COM
mander and for reparation by the pay
ment of indemnity for the killing and
injuring of innocent American citizens.
These defands follow statement in
forming Austria-Hungary that ''the
good relations of the two countries
must rest upon common regard for
law and humanity" The note ar
raigns the Smelling and torpedoing of
the liner as 'inhumane," 'barbarous"
and 3swanton slaughter" of helpless
men, women and children
In official and diplomatic circles the
communication is regarded as being
the most emphatic declaration to come
from the United States government
since the beginning of the European
war. No attempt is made to conceal
the fact that. unless the demands are
quickly complied with diplomatic rela-
lions between the two countries will
be in danger of being severed.

INCOME TAX SHOWS
BIG GAIN THIS YEAR
OVER $4,000 PERSONS TURN

SAMUEL.
INCREASE OVER $l0,OOO,O00
War Reduced Corporation Tax-oIeo-
margarine Frauds Reach Total
of IL Million DoIIars-SmaII
Fine Collected.

Washington.-The personal income
tax was paid during the last fiscal year
by 357,515 individuals. who turned into
the government $41,046,162, more by
nearly $13,O00,OO0 than the total paid
by the 357,59S making returns the
year before, according to the annual
report of the commissioner Of inter-
nal revenue, made public this week.
The greatest increase shown was
in the amounts paid by those subject
to the normal tax, a jump from about
$12, $4,000 in 1914 to about $16,559,O0O
in 1915.
Incomes exceeding 100000 paid this
year about $6,439,000, compared with
about $3,437, 900 last year. There were
82,754 individuals subject to the nor
NAL tax; 127,448 who reported in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000 and
174 whose returns were made on a
basis of incomes of 100000 or more.
Under the corporation income tax
299,445 returns were made, decrease
of 17,464 from the previous year, as
cribed by the report to various condi-
tons, including disturbed business
conditions incident to the war in Eu-
rope and the trouble in Mexico. The
corporations paid $38,986,952, or about
Sc, 1927, 900 less than in 1914. The re-
port says examination showed that but
few corporations had purposely falsi-
fled their returns or sought to eyade
the tax.
Recommendations are made for
changes in the income tax law to
broaden it's scope and increase the
revenue expected under it.
Frauds upon the government
through the use of artificially colored
oleomargarine are said to have reached
the total of $17,692,910, of which only
$4,611 ,O52 was within the assessable
period. During the year $751,000 was
collected on account of these frauds
and more is expected.
The total revenue collected from all
sources by the bureau amounted to
about $415, 6S1, 900. The emergency tax
law brought in $52,O00,0O0, the tax on
distilled spirits other than those dis.
titled from fruits about $133,803,000,
compared with about $150,000,000 in
1914, and the tax of fermented liquors
increased from about $67,000,000 paid
in 1914 to about $79,OOOOOO this last
