HE'S OPPOSED TO THE
COUNTY ASSESSOR BILL
U. R. Daniels of Grey Twp, Gives His Reasons
Why No Change Should Ge Made

We see by your issue of the 21st
that the assessors bill, introduced BY
Mudgett of Barnes county, is receiv-
ing considerable criticism, and we
consider justly. We are opposed to
the bill, firstly, on account of the
time the assessing would be done.
commencing on January LIST. The land
ordinarily would be covered with
snow and it would be impossible for a
man to make discrimination between
good or poor quarter section. And
then again, a great many quarters
have granaries and other structures on
them with nobody residing in them,
which would be difficult to reach in
the winter season. There is more
machinery, | am sorry to say, in
North Dakota that is wintered in a
snow bank than is housed which
would be impossible for man to de-
eide on its value without some person
al knowledge secured before hand. He
would have to rely on the judgment of
the man that he was assessing and
after years Of experience as an, asses
sor have found the owners iudg-
ment as being very poor regarding the
value OF his own property when it was
being assessed. Under the township
system the assessor residing in the
township has chance to personally
Know every mans personal property
and land, also to know the difference
IN their value, and if he does not, the
time Of the year the assessing is be-
ing done it Would be an easy matter
Tor hlm TO ascertain it. If he should
make an error in his judgment, or see
ut to discriminate unjustly, his work
being reviewed by the town board
and they living in the immediate
vicinity would make a proper adjust
ment OF the same. 1t seems to me
that four men living in one township
would have great deal better
chance to know the value of different
pieces OF land or personal property
than q single county assessor would
have residing at some distance from
the most Of the property that he as
sessed, and | think that most Of the
taN payers viii agree with us.

Eiow to Eradicate Wild Oats

An experiment carried on at the
North Dakota experiment station on
depths that wild oats will come up
from brought out the following re-
suits: Wild oats were sown on Octo-
Der 18th at depths of one, two, three,
five, seven and ten inches. By No
vember 25 few plants came up from
one, two, and three inch depths. By
the 28th Of April in the following
year few of the wild oats from the
one, two and three inch paintings
were up. On May IL forty-t three
plants from the one inch depth were
pulled; thirty-one from the two inch
and forty from the three inch. 1t was
June 9Th before the wild oats from
the five inch depth came up and then
there were but six of them. By June
13 of the next year eight plants had
come up from the two inch depth. At
the end of five years the seeds were
dug up and all of them were found to
be dead. The summing up of this
series of demonstrations or tests gave
the result that equal quantities of
seed were sown at the different depths.
Sixty-six grew. Of the two inch
depth thirty-one seeds grew. Of the
three inch depth the number that
grew was fifty-three. OF the two
inch the number that grew was sixty
six. The rest Of the seeds were all
rotted at the end of five years.

in conjunction with the North Dakota
agricultural college at Fargo. The
committee that has been making the
investigation OF state institutions with
view to a reduction of state expen-
dltures has strongly recommended tn
abandonment OF the sub-stations a.
Langdon, Edgeley, Dickinson and
Hettlnger, but favors the retaining Of
the station at Williston. In their
report to the Legislature the commit
tee on investigation states that the
work at both the Langdon and Edge
ley farms is practically about the
same as that which is being demon
strated at the state experiment sta
tlon at Fargo, which is being operated
in connection with the agricultural
college. The sub-stations at Dicken-
son and Hettinger, it is maintained bv
the committee, are demonstrating
farming under almost exactly similar
conditions to that which is shown at
the federal great plains experimental
station which is located at Mandan,
They give as their reason for the re-
tanning of the sub-station at Williston
that at that point there is being work
ed out the idea of dry farming in con-
junction with an irrigation tract
which is one Of the essentials of farm
ing in that section of western North
Dakota. The committee in urging the
abandonment of the state sub-station
experimental farms claim to have
found that they have been operated at
an overhead expense ranging from $14
to SIG per acre.

figured among the star base ball play

German Program and Luncheon

Friday of last week was German
day in Langdon, at least the gather
ing held in the evening of that day at
the Odd Fellow hall was attended bv
a crowd of about one hundred and fifty
residents of the city who claim the
Fatherland as the home of their birth
or the birth place OF their ancestors.
1t was the first entirely German gath
ering or entertainment that has ever
been held here and in spite of the cold
and stormy character of the weather
that evening there was such response
to the invitations that had been issued
by ''Das Committee, that no ques-
ton remained of it being a success in
every way. The fact Of the matter is
the size of the building available linn
tied the number of invitations issued.
There were German songs, addresses
in the German language and whole
evening spent in a good old fashioned
old country time typifying the social
life and intercourse of the Fatherland
across the sea and yet still retaining
in a most patriotic degree the spirit
and feeling of American citizenship as
shown by the entwined German flag
and Old Glory with both the pictures
of the Kaiser and the President given
a prominence in the gaily colored dec
orations of the hall. The program
hich is appended gives those not
fortunate enough to be there q fair
idea Of the excellence of the evening
entertainment, which about half-past
eleven was followed by the serving OF
q luncheon, after which the younger
members Of the party danced until the
lights went out about half-past ono
o'clock The first German gathering
ever held in Langdon came to a close
with nothing left to be desired tx
make it a complete success, the com.
mon wish expressed being for another

CITYANs AND PNEUMONIA.

In the January American Magazine
Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds former
Health Commissioner of Chicago. has
an interesting article on pneumonia,
showing why city people are peculiar
ly susceptible. ''The total deaths in
Chicago from all causes during the
calendar year 1914" he writes, were
$685.; of these, 4,077 died from all
forms of pneumonia, and 3,90S died
from all forms of tuberculosis Why
use the figures for Chicago? Because
there are no records for the entire
country, and the records of other large
cities are not at hand, but will be
found to follow very closely the same
relationship as those of Chicago, vary
ing of course, from year to year. Is
mortality from pneumonia increasing?
Yes-especially in cities. What change
in human habits are coincident with
the increase of pneumonia? A large
increase in the number of city dwell
ers compared with the rural popuIa-
ton. How does the shifting of popu-
lation to cities affect the incidence of
pneumonia? BY increasing the num-
Der whose vigor and resisting power is
lessened by indoor life; by increasing
the number who take little outdoor
exercise; by favoring observation-disclosures
in eating and drinking; by increasing
the facilities for contact with infec-
ton, ana last, but not least, by in
creasing the pollution of the air that
is breathed both inside and outside of
habitations, shops and offices. Can |
pneumonia be prevented. and how? |
Yes. By reducing the number of sus-
ceptibles. How can that be done? By |
educating the masses, especially the !
