Premier Asquith's special assign ment seems to be the lauding of the armies that are cooperating With Great Britain. While all this is very probably a part of the Great War and the acknowledgement or the help of the allies purely a formality, English men the world over will be ungrateful and insensitive if they do not recognize the efforts being made by the Russians and the Italians, the heoric efforts of the French and the sacrifices of the Belgians. All clearly serve to em- phasize England's task at the close of the race. She must perform the lions share when 1t comes to the final ighting.-Buffalo News. +5t4=+

% 0ovo1aer

During the month of April
the assessor will call upon tax
payers and this is the year
in which he gathers the statist-
ics which are tabulated and re-
ported TO the governor. They
constitute the official statistics
of the state and receive the
widest possible publicity that
the state government can give
them.
1t is of vital importance to
the farmer that he understands
this proposition, for instead of
these figures working against
him, they are his only protect
tiOn against the speCulatOr who
arranges his figures to suit
himself, and which might work
against the farmer. If the
farmer $ figures prove inaCcur-
ative and unreliable, then his
cause and the cause of the
county in which he lives, and
in fact the entire state, suffer
by comparison in the estima-
ton of everyone who is seek
ing knowledge of North Da-
kota, her products and re-
sources.
Commissioner Flint, of the
agricultural department. is
guarding the interests of both
the farmer and the state, and
is out with the request that all
farmers, for their own good if
nothing more, get as near to
the exact figures as possible
when the assessor calls.
The same applies to those in
the cities and villages who are
engaged in manufacturing and
other enterprises. in that they
should make as good a show
ing as possible, as every item
of progress is recommended
ton for the state. Everything
showing industry should be
represented in the statistics.

Fire Destroyed Barn and Two Hesses
poYIshOd n Flames

At noon on Tuesday the fire
department was called to the
l.. p. Sandstrom property
where it was discovered the
barn was on fire. It was but a
short time until the fire laddies
had the blaze under control but
the structure had to be nearly
torn down IN order to extin-
guish the blaze that was found
between the partitions.
Two horses belonging to the
Stewart and Bowler children,
and which they used in driv-
ing back and forth to school
were in the barn at the time
and were burned to death. The
horses were setloose and driven
away from the barn when the
alarm was given but found
their way back inside and both
perished in the flames. The
animals were valued at $3.50
each. The total loss on the
barn is about 5000 and we un-
derstand totally covered by in.

Fencing for Sheep

The fencing problem has al
ways loomed up big to the be.
ginner in raising sheep. 1t is
not, however, a very difficult
one if it is undertaken in an
intelligent manner. 1t does
not require heavy fence to
hold sheep, but a barbed wire
will not make satisfactory
sheep fence. Most sheep rails
ers use a fence constructed of
woven wire from thirty to forty
two inches high with from five
to nine horizontal wires and
sixteen to twenty stays to the
rod. Any fence coming inside
these limits if put up with a
post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory for
sheep. If a thirty-inch woven
wire is used. it should have at
least one barbed wire on top OF
it. 1t usually pays to put one
or two barbed wires on top of
the woven wire, however, as
this will make fence that
will turn horses and cattle as
we'll as sheep.

The compron -tlement
of the taxes owned ,eau
county by the D. S. b. = :
ton Land company will
stand. That is the effect of the
decision recently given by
District Judge Buttz of Devils
Lake, to whom the case was
referred.
The Johnston corporation a
few years ago became owners
of the townsites of Overly, Gar
dena, Kramer, Russell, Eek
man and Hurd. 1t objected to
the assess sments of it's lots,
claiming that they were exclu
sive. In a trial before Judge
Burr the county won. The
Johnston company took an ap.
peal to the supreme court. BE
fore the case had a hearing in
the latter tribunal,a settlement
was made with the county com
missioners whereby the com
pany was to pay fifty per cent
of the amount due the county.
States Attorney Adams rem
dered an opinion which was
adverse to the action of the
board and County Treasurer
Convis would not accept a
fifty per cent tender. The
treasurer wa 8 mandatnused
and the case was referred to
judge Buttz by agreement.
The Judge held with the
states attorney and the town
site corporation will have to
pay the same assessment as
individuals do in these towns.

Catlin, Smith & Co. are dis
tributors of Cole Medal Flour
in Bottineau and vicinity.
They have good supply of
Gold Medal Flour in stock and
are making attractive prices
for prompt delivery. Flour is
still the cheapest staple on the
market. This is your opport-
unity to put in a supply at a
very close price.
Gold Medal Flour is the fin
est that modern milling meth
DDS will produce, a flour scien-
tifically milled to meet all of
your requirements. A trial of
one sack will give you all the
reasons for continuing its u sc
in your home. The four o r five
more loaves of bread you can
make from every sack is a sub.
stantial saving. Cheaper flour
will not make as much bread.
Bread from Gold Medal Flour
stays fresh longer than any
other. Gold Medal Flour is
not bleached or otherwise
chemically adulterated.
Flour is the cheapest article
of food on the market today. A
sack of Gold Medal Flour will
go further than anything else
you can buy. On account of
the European situation wheat
prices are advancing and it
will pay you to buy several
sacks of -four at present prices.
Telephone Catlin, Smith &
Co. to book your order. This
is an opportunity to buy -four
at close prices.
Yours very truly,
Washburn- Crosby Co.
p. S. Don't fail to enter in
to the Gold Medal bread baking
contest which Catlin, Smith &
Co. have arranged for. All
bread must be at the store by

FUNNY ERRORS OCCUR


Funny errors occur in news
papers that cause much an
noyance and disturbance and
loud talk in the print shops.
The Associated Advertising
says, let us all try to console
ourselves, when our clients
tear their hair over some typo
graphically error, that to err is
human-especiall to err typo
graphically. Some of the fin
est jokes extant come through
the fact that the printers fin-
gers slip. Here are some of
them, which like all others, are
funny a long, long time after
ward--never at the time. A
Chicago paper, reporting a
political meeting, said that the
vast audience rent the air with
their snOuts. Another Chicago
paper reported that the propel-
lOr Alaska was leaving port
with a carload of 40, 600 bushels
of cats. A Buffalo newspaper,
in describing the scene when
Roosevelt took the oath of office
as president, said it was a
spectacle ever to be forgotten
when Roosevelt, before the
chief justice of the supreme
court and a few witnesses, took
his simple bath. .-Ex.
