Nicholson Attends
Auditors Convention

County Auditor Adolph Mich
elson returned on Saturday from
Pierre where he had been in at
tendance at the annual meeting
of county auditors and other as,
sessment officials.
Pierre, March -. Practically
every county was represented by
its auditor, with a number Of
county commissioners and asses
sors meeting with them to dis
cuss the problems of asssssment
and taxation, and the best meth
od Of meeting conditions which
exist. One feature which ap
peared to trouble many counties
was that Of refund Of taxes for
various GAUGES. The supreme
court holds that no county board
has any right Of refund for any
purpose, which makes the situa-
ton hard one to deal with when
an error has been made, and the
general sentiment was for legis-
latlon to cure this situation.
The manner Of making assess
ments was another feature. and
the auditors generally expressed
themselves in favor Of the county
assessor system, with one man
responsible for the whole assess-
ment, and he to be appointed un-
der a civil sseryice examination
for fitness, such examination to
be before the state commission.
At least most of the speakers
who expressed themselves held
this view.
At the Wednesday session one
of the features was a paper by
John B. Hanten Cf WatertoWn,
urging support for the constitu-
tional amendment to be voted
upon at the next election allow
ing classification OF property for
the purpose Of taxation. Hanten
was one Of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Herreid to
prepare and present to the legis-
Iature a revenue law for the
state, and the bill prepared by
that commission failed to get far
in the session. but since that
time Hanten has been a persist
ent advocate Of tax reforms toI
meet present day conditions in
stead of clinging to the methods
of another industrial age" /"

The Parent-Teachers' meeting
was well attended last Friday
evening. The assembly room
was crowded and several import
ant subjects were discussed in
regard to the schooling of the
chlldr IN Rev. Hyink gave a
very Interesting and instructive
talk on the Gary School System.
This talk was greatly appreciated
by all and showed careful study
on the part of Mr.. Hyink. Mr..
Van Cleave also gave a very good
talk on the value of school gar
dens. His talk showed thst he
was very well versed in agricul-
tufal lines. Miss Britton talked
on the subject of a public library.
She pointed out the values Of a
public library to Lennon. its
uses and values to the city. The
hlgh school orchestra also gave
several selections. The male
quartet, consisting of Messrs.
Rlls, Hermanson, Sorby and
Sampson sang several songs,
which showed them up to more
than their usual standard. Af-
ter the program, lunch was
served by several of the ladies'.
Next week will be spring va
cation. The students have been
waiting for this vacation for sey-
eral weeks. Those who live out
of town will visit their homes,
and those who live in town will
put their time to good advant-
age in enjoying the vacation.
Several of the teachers are plan
ming on visiting out of town.
Altho the debating team was
defeated at Sisseton, we are
proud of them for the excellent
showing they made. Tho de-
bate was by nc means one-sid-
ed affair, and had our team been
a little stronger on the rebuttal,
they would have probably got
the decision.
Two new sewing machines
have been established in the do

Seed Corn Should
Be Tested

Washington. March q. Farm
er who take the advice Of Carl
Vrooman. the assistant secretary
of the United States department
Iof agriculture, will test every
ear of corn this year before they
plant it. The seed corn situation.
Mr.. Vro0man says, is probaFy
more serious now than it !
been for years. On account {
the late. cold season and tie
heavy frosts in the early part of
last October, very little corn. es-
pecIalIy in the northern half of
the corn belt, ripencd naturally
and at the time Of the first hard
frosts much Of it still contained
"a large amount Of moisture.
Testing seed corn is always a
wise precaution, " said Mr.. Vroo-
man, but this year it is a neces-
sary one. Every farmer should
test his seed this spring by the
Individual ear test. No matter
how much confidence YOU have
in the man you buy seed from,
make a test and know for YOUR
self that the seed is good. If
the seed IS not good, you can get
some other that is.
"A number Of seed men who
have we'll constructed seed hous~
es. report that they find the early
picked seed tests very satisfac-
torlIy, but the seed picked later,
even if properly dried, il very
satisfactory. One test in norrh
eastern Nebraska showed 30 per
cent Of the early ield-picked seed
to be good while only IS per cent
Of the crib-selected seed ger,ni-
mated. In many sections of
Northern Iowa and Illinois, the
percentage Of good seed is much
lower, even when the seed was
picked before frost and properly
dried, while seed picked from the
wagon at husking ume, or from
the crib IS practically worthless
as seed. One reason for this is
that many farmers in this section
are raising corn Of very large
variety which requires full
growing season, and this corn
did uot ripen before the early
frosts.
Under these circumstances,
testing each ear is simply good
insurance. One ear Of corn will
produce about five bushels if all
grains grow. With corn at 60
cents bushel, planting dead
ear or an car that will produce
only weak unproductiye stalks,
means loss of$3. If you catch
only one bad ear, your testing
has paid you good days wages.
II you catch the average number
you, We saved a weeks pay in a
winter afternoon"

That under each rank wrong, somewhere
Thers lies the root Of right;
That each sorrow has purpose,

But as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever ISIS best
| know that each sinful action,
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished,
Though the hour be long DELAYED.

Sometimes by the hearts unrest
And to grow means often to suffer
But whatever is is best

In the great eternal PLAN
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know my soul speeds onward
In its grand eternal quest,

tary of the board of managers said:
Most people think of Friendship
House either purely as a sort of rec
reation center, or purely as day nur-
sery, and have very little conception
OF the work or purpose of the settle
ment outside of those two lines of
activity.
"Of course. Friendship Mouse is both
of those things. but beyond that it is
a group of people living in the house
and trying in every way possible TO
meet the needs of the community as
they arise. The nursery and club
activities, the milk station. the public
library station and other definite lines
of wor,; have grown because they have
met a real need. But back of all these
things is that quiet, neighborly reia-
