But to be brief and tell you that l
have seen some real fighting I will
state that / was in the defense of
Armentiers, the battle of .Ypres, in
April of last year. Then when with
the attacking forces of the el.jes on
Festubert I got wounded in the charge
we made on the trenches of the enemy.
This ocurred on the 21st of May.
Since then have been through the
hospitals, both at the army bases in
France and here in England. For a
considerable time since at points in
this country con7a]escing with hum
dreds of others, who like myself have
been brought to realize that their
fighting days are over. 1t has been
some experience I can tell you hon
est}y, and ! was lucky to come through
it all alive. suppose that everything
in Langdon is just the same as it used
to be in the old days. My, but
wouldn't like to be able to come
just for short visit with you and
other of my school day friends of the
years now gone by. / am looking for
ward to making an effort to see Lang
don and my friends some time during
the coming year. You see l am ply.
sically unfit for further active service
and am quite likely to get my discharge
by that time. Lately the weather
here has been very miserable and wet
which is much harder on me in the

shall try to write you from time to

WILL RESTRAIN ACTION OF
STATE EQUALIZATION BOARD
Temporary Order Asked to Restrain Adoption
of New Personal Property Schedule

County Auditor Ole J. Eide return
ed on Saturdays belated train from
his trip to Bismarck, where during
several days of last week he attended
the sessions of the state association of
county auditors. The most interesting
feature of the sessions, and one which
resulted in considerable discussion
right up to the meeting s adjournment
was the new personal property assess
ment schedule, which had been adopt.
ed by the state board Of equalization
at its meeting of August last year. Ii
| is understood that the point was
reached at the meeting, whereby the
state officials are to be restrained, al
/ least temporarily, from the enforce.
ment of the proposed new personal
property tax assessment schedules. 1t
was resolved that Mortor: county IS &c
launch a test case in the courts as te
the legality of what the state boa1e
of equalization has taken upon itseH
as having authority to do in adopting
the new schedule. The claim is made,
by those who have given it thorough
investigation, that the new personal
property tax schedule operates against
the interests of certain class of tax
payers, this class being more particu-
larly the farmers.

HOFFARTH'S BARN FIRE
HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS
Upwards Of S4,500 Went Up in Smoke at Nit
Carmel Fire insurance 1000

Frank Hotfarth of Mt. Carmel, who
lost his big frame barn by fire week
ago was in town Friday and in relat-
ing facts concerning the big loss
which the fire has brought to him
states that the fire was beyond control
almost Immediately and that himself
and neighbors had to exert every effort
to save the horses and live stock from
perlshlng IN the flames. Mr.. Hoffarth
says the cause Of the fire was an at
tempt made by one of his men to thaw
out the water pipe leading from the
windmill pump to a large tank in the
barn for watering the stock. The fire
thus started was soon beyond all
human control, the storm raging at
the time only helped hasten its de-
struction. His seventeen head of
horses and the cattle were all got out
OF the building in safety, but only at
the risk of human life and are now
temporarily housed in one of the barns
on the Fischer farm, adjoining his
own place. Besides the loss of the
building, on which there was an in.
surance of So, 1000, hardly enough to
purchase the lumber in the barn, MIR.
Hoffarth is also the loser of twenty
head of hogs, fat and ready for the
market. There was fifteen tons of hay
IN the loft over the barn that added
fuel to the flames, also about 5000
bushels Of oats, not to mention three
hundred chickens and other farm pro-
perty in the barn at the time that
would represent several hundred dol
lars in value. He figures that the
total loss which the fire brought to
him at not less than Sd, 500.
