HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE PROFIT IN CLOVER

Rugby, May 30.-John Fjarlie, who
lives just across the county line, south
of Berwick, was in the city recently
for the purpose Of getting some alfalfa
seed and related to US the following
facts: Last year he sowed ten acres
of sweet clover and off of this ten
acres he sold over $3.50 worth of seed
and kept $3.50 worth himself, making
a total of little better than one thou
sand dollars off this little patch of
ground. He said that the clover grew
as high as his head, and if he had
so desired he could have cut three
crops during the season.
Mr.. Fjarlie is very much interested
in this line of work, and is putting in
quite lot of various grasses this sea-
son. He is practical man in this
work and an expert when it comes to
discussing the differences between
the various grasses and the conditions
necessary for their success. He be-
lieves there is great future in this
state for these things and that it will
be absolutely necessary for the North
Dakota farmer to raise more of this
kind of stuff.

Germans Take Prisoners

London, May 80. - French positions
on a front approximately two miles
extending from the southern ridge OF
LeMort Homme to the Cumieres vii.
lage, northwest of Verdun has been
completely occupied by the Germans
according to the latest official com.
munication from Berlin. In addition
the Teutons have again pressed for.
ward to the Thiaumont woods, north.
west of Verdun and added to their
lines in the eastern part of it.
Berlin says the Germans captured
$4,000 prisoners including several
officers. Around Curicres a violent
bombardment is in progress, but there
has been no diminution of the intensity
of the fire of the big guns northeast of
Verdun.
The Austrians have begun another
attack in the Posina region of Italy,
southwest of Posina, and farther north
along the upper reaches of the Astico
river. On the Austro-Italian border,
south of Posina, the Austrians pre-.
pared for their offensive with bonn.
bardment, but according to Rome, the
Italians after desperate attack
against the Austrian infantry, retained
their positions.
On the Russian front the Germans
asasyed an offensive northwest of
but were driven back to
their trenches by the Russians. The
Austrians in Galicia met with mo-
mentary success at Gliadki, driving
the Russians from position and cap
turing it. The Russians however, in a
counter attack recaptured the post.
The subscription to the recent Aus
tro-Hungarian war loan is said to have
reached 6,oo0,0Oo,0OO crowns. Ger
many is going to ask for a war credit
Of 10000, 900, 900 marks soon, according

WAITE TO LEARN DATE
OF EXECUTION JUNE I

New York, May 27.-Convicted Of
murder in the first degree for poison
ing his father.in.law, John E. Peck, a
millionaire drug manufacturer Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, Arthur Waite is
tonight in the Tombs prison, where he
will remain until Justice Clarence
Shearn, sentences him on June ! to
death in the electric chair.
Walter R. Druell, the young den
lists chief counsel said tonight the
verdict Of guilty was proper one. He
declared all that could be done in the
trial of the defendant had been done
in the trial which ended today. One
of Druell's assistants said that never.
theless, preparations were being made
to take an appeal at once.
District Attorney Swami said to-
night that if an appeal would be taken
his office would be ready in ten days
to argue the case in the higher courts.
Waite declined to make any state
ment from his cell, but he said that he
might issue some impression" later.
That he was inclined to accept the
verdict as final and was resigned to
his fate was seemed to be indicated by
his remark, this is great relief as
he was led from the court room.
The dentist, who admitted not only
the murder of Mr.. Peck, but also Of
Mrs. Hanna Peck, his mother-in-law,
and who admitted that he attempted
to kill his wife's aunt, Miss Katherine
Peck, apparently had no doubt that the
jury would convict him.

New Institution Offers
a Home Without Cost

The Valley City Building and Loan
association furnished the money for
the man who built him a nice home
and was able to pay for it with the
rent money he would have paid out for
place to stay till the other man
bought it. Why don't you invest and
do likewise? About three-fourths of
the men of America die in rented
houses and nearly one-half die without
leaving anything but debts for their
families to take care of. Now you
have an opportunity to get home dur
ing the time when you are best able
to earn it. You want to own your
home; then get it while you can work
hard to make the necessary payments,
then later in life you can look with
pride on the home you have provided
for your loved ones. Don't keep them
in rented quarters all your life. The
small, well-kept home is the real foun-
dation of the city. The purchasing
and paying for this cozy home is both
profitable and pleasant. Look forward
to the time when you can say, This
has been our home for the last eight
years and now it's all paid for and no
landlord can say I have sold this
house and you must move OUT" Your
success in life will depend on how you
measure it. But whatever way you
measure it you will have to admit that
the man who has earned and lived in
his own home during his lifetime has
placed himself in the class with the
upper fourth of the American people.
Call at Room 1, Young block, and
learn all about it.

Instructions to Review Boards

Bismarck, May 27.-1nstructions to
boards of review have been sent out
by the tax commission. All boards
of review will sit June IL to hear com.
plants from individuals in regard to
injustices which may have been done
them by assessors.
The instructions call attention to the
fact that the taxable property of the
state is more than two billion dollars,
which at a rs per cent assessment
should give total assessed value for
the state of 100000, 900. The total
assessed value of property within the
state for 1915 was but $685., 100000,
showing that assessors are allowing a
large amount of property to escape
taxation. ...u -. @..
Boards of review are instructed to
see that all property is assessed at rs
per cent of it's actual value. The only
exception to this rule is in the case of
moneys and credits, which are to be
assessed at five per cent.
The only property exempt from tax
alton is property used exclusively for
governmental purposes, educational,
religious and charitable purposes.
Property of fraternal orders should be
assessed.
The attention of boards of review is
called to the fact that corporations
other than banks have heretofore es-
capped taxation on their capital stock,
which is contrary to the code. Boards
of review are requested to assess all
corporations on their capital stock.
Further instructions consist Of or.
ders to see that all moneys and credits
are placed on the tax rolls. Boards
of review are instructed, where the
assessor has failed to assess this class
Of property, to place an arbitrary val
uation against the reputed owners,
and to give notice of hearing on each
and every such assessment.
