 "In July, 1915, West Virginia en- tered it's first year of statewide pro- hibition, and a years experience has resulted in the highest rate of taxa tion eyer known in the history of the state. The Vest law deprived the state treasury of $G5O,OOO a year in licenses formerly taken out by the liquor dealers. The several counties of the state that had retained the lj- cense system under local option were deprived of a like amount The state increased taxes of all kinds 10 make up the loss and the cities and coun- ties did the same "-Fairbanks News Miner.

of the state government has more than doubled since the law went into effect and there is a deficit of $1,O22, 900 in the state revenues.
 "As consequence of the loss Tn revenue taxes has been greatly in- creased. The tax commission of the Tennessee State Manufactures As sociation, after an exhaustive invcsti- gation, reported: There is a tend ency throughout the state to increase taxes on an already overburdened people, both by constant increase of the assessments as well as the rate. Economy in public affairs, whether state, city or county, is the exception and not the rule.'
 "Ilict distilleries have aboundcd in Tennessee as in other southern pro- hibition states. In the year 1900 there were but 54 establishments of this kind seized, while in 1914 249 were destroyed.
 Nashville, in particular, has been plunged into serious financial trouble. Without submitting the question to a vote of the people, the city sold bonds in the sum of $9S7,OOO to make up a deficit brought about largely by the cutting off of privilege licenses money formerly paid by liquor sellers.

forced themselves into prominence without the aid of prohibitiOnists or anti-prohibitionists: Alabama is now struggling with a deficit of about $3,- OOO,OOO, which appears to be the result Of prohibition. To bring the munich pal conditions, in concrete form, in- to plain review, we will cite the city of Birmingham. This city, according to an editorial published in the Sur vey' of September, 1915, has discon- tinued it's strect-clcaning and garbage collection. It has dispensed with its health officer, city physician and market inspector, extinguished half the lights, cut thcs chool term from nine to seven months, and reduced by 10 per cent the salaries of teachers who were receiving over $75 a month. 1t has discontinued one-third of it's police force, and put the remainder on a 12-hour shift. It closed several fire stations, stopped every cent of its appropriations to hospitals, children's homes and charities, and reduced b. 'one-third the allowance for the main tenance of parks. In short the city has cut it's expenses $3O,OOO. It was compelled to make this cut because it costs the city $l ,22S,G29 a year to op- crate, and only $S96,556 was avail able.
 "Thcn, again, more people are en- gagged in the production of illicit li- Quor in Alabama than ever before. despite the earnest efforts of the secret service officials to stamp it out There were l79 illicit distilleries sciz- ed and destroyed in 1906; in 1914 the number had risen to 3OS.
 "For lack of funds Georgia has been compelled to hold up the salaries of school teachers, and recently has had to place an additional $&,5OO,OOO lond issue on the market.

PROHIBITION

The following article, giving con crete facts and figures regarding the result of prohibition in the South, is reprinted from Finance"
 Without bein gactive participants in the cause of prohibition, and hold ing no brief for the liquor interests, many representative citizens of this section are today trying to figure out the net results, both financial and moral, of the prohibition laws which have been in operation for the past few years in some of the southern states. They have not requested in- formation on the subject from men who are interested in breweries or dis tilleries, nor have they appealed to leaders in the past temperance cru sades for facts, pertaining to the rec suits of this new southern experiment. On the contrary, they have sought light on the question from the only unprejudiced source-ohicials who re- ceive and disburse moneys of the municipalities and the states.
 "An exhibition of the facts which have come to the surface as a result of these inquiries should be welcome to every fair-minded American, no matter what his predilections may have been in the past, for truth knows no preference; it asks no favors and makes no apologies; it simply de- mands a hearing.

that is to get the seed dry. There is
no question but what there would be
a much better supply of good seed
corn in North Dakota from home
grown fields, and good seed too, if the
farmer would go through his fields and
pick his corn in a wagon and spread it
out on scaffolds to dry during the fall.
It certainly is far superior to the all
too common method of picking seed
corn out Of the shock or bundle during
the fall and winter, or not saving seed
at all and depending on the seed firms
for seed that may be shipped in and
is not raised in the immediate locality.
Much can be learned from Indian
corn culture and the North Dakota
farmer is going to prize the Indian
corn more highly as the years go by
and he raises more hogs and sheep.
These classes of livestock will harvest
the corn in the field without any waste.
In any event take this lesson from
the Indian. Get the corn out early and
dry it thoroughly if you want to have
good seed corn.-E. w. Hall, County

with another younger child, were stay
ing in Forman awaiting the calling Of
the case. Mr.. Bauch had been drink
ing heavily, it is said, for about a
month, and one night induced his son
Raymond to go for ride with him, at
which time he made threats about
what he would do unless his wife aban-
doned her suit for divorce.
On Saturday evening Bauch, ST.,
went over to the house where his wife
and son were staying, and tried to
start quarrel with his wife, who told
him it was no use, she would not quar-
rel with him. At this point, young
Bauch claims his father drew revol-
yer and threatened to shoot both his
wife and son. The boy jumped for
ward and grabbed his father by the
hand in which he was holding the gun,
at the same time calling to Mrs. Bauch
to try to take the gun out of her hus-
bands hand. In the struggle which
ensued the young man got the gun
away and when this did not quiet the
older man shot him, so that he died
shortly after.
Young Bauch is in Jail at Forman
charged with manslaughter, as it was
very plain that a charge of murder
could not be placed against him under
the circumstances. Bail was fixed at
$4,000, which he was unable to fur
nish.
The boy gave as his reason for
shooting the fact that his father was
still struggling and he was afraid
that he would secure the gun again
and kill them all.
Messrs. Wolfe & Schneider of this
city had been retained by Mrs. Bauch
in her divorce suit, while Mr.. Bauch
was represented by w. S. Lauder. The
former firm has been retained to con-
duct the defense Of young Bauch, while
the states attorney of Sargent county
will conduct the prosecution.

Curing and Saving Seed Corn
From Mandan Indian Method

The Indians on the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation in northwestern
North Dakota have raised corn longer
than the oldest members Of the tribe
can remember. Their fields have been
located all along the Missouri river
through North Dakota. One field, To-
Gated near the old village where all
three tribes, Mandan, Gros Ventre and
Arikarees, lived together for some
years, has been under cultivation for
at least u years. Beans and squash
were raised beside the principal crop,
corn.
One of the most important opera
lions in Indian corn culture is the cur
ing of the seed. The seed is picked
early but no particular field selection
| is made. The corn is husked and
spread out on corn scaffolds which are
made by setting up four or six posts,
, forked at the top, and poles placed
along the tops and then covered with
willows. This allows circulation of
air around the corn because willows
are not solid material. The willows
are close enough together to keep the
ears from falling through. The scat
fold is about six feet from the ground.
The corn is spread out all over the top
of this scaffold and left there through
rain and shine until it is perfectly dry:
The best ears are picked out for seed
and put in boxes or barrels and stored
in the house, or in the old days, the
corn was buried in cache holes deep in
the ground. Other supplies such as
beans. SQUASH and the feed corn was
also buried in these cache holes.
M. %hivoor ~ Tho Indian
curing process is getting the corn per
fectly dry: Practically every Indian
house at the present time has one OF
these corn-drying scaffolds in front
of the house and this scaffold has al
ways been part of the homes equip
ment.
The writer asked one old Indian man
how he tested his corn. He said that
he did not test it because he knew it
was good and would grow. 1t always
did. The stand in every Indian field
proves his statement. 1t is very rare
to find missing hill. Dry seed is the
reason for this. Even the fields in the
summer of 1916, when the year pre-
vious, 1915, was poor corn year, are
practically perfect stands.
The Mandan Indians have "Keeper
of the Corn" A daughter of their
former chief holds the Office at pres
ent and it is her sacred duty to pre-
serve the seed from year to year. She
cultivates her field very faithfully and
cures the seed and preserves it very
carefully. This is a splendid example
to the white man Of the value of good
seed corn and caring for it carefully.
The exact method used by the In
dams in curing seed may not apply to
our dent corn as the dent contains so
much water and does not get as ripe
or dry in the field as the flint corns,
but the principle applies to any corn,

Il believe" said Mr.. Gilday. that
John d. Rockefeller. Jr. was sincere
when he came to Colorado. There
are some who believe that his trip to
this state was grandstand play. but

the things he saw here will result In

generally" He stated further that he
did not believe the working OF the
Rockefeller industrial system would
bring about the conditions demanded
by the United Mine Workers.
The members of the commission ex-
pressed themselves as much i'm
pressed with the sociological work in
the coal camps. Mr.. Gilday. speaking
for the commission. commented with
particular approval on the splendid
conditions at the Cameron mine in the
