LOBBYING FOR FARMERS

Rockwell A. Sayer, who has extern
sive farm land holdings in this and
other counties in the northern part of
the state as the president of the Far
mres Trust Company, of Chicago,
went north Tuesday to Hannah to
meet Senator Henry Mclean relative
to legislation for enactment at Bis
marck this winter, having for its OBJ
ject the advancing of the values of
farm properties. The efforts of Mr..
Sayers along this line will be extend
ed to- the province of Manitoba and
other northern states along the bound
ary, where the weed problem is be-
coming menace to land values for
both raising grain crops and the breed
ing of live stock.

NEW ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE

The county auditors of the state
have just received instructions from
the state board of equalizers for the
forms to be used in the 1917 assess
ments books.
The state board has reduced the
number of classes-items to be enum-
Grated in next years assessment
books to about one. third the number
asked for in the form of schedule sent
nut by them for the year 1916. In
stead of having ninety-fve items of
personal property there is only thirty
two
The assessment books for the year
1917, will contain less classes of pro.
perty than has ever been used in
North Dakota in former years, There
being ten classes less than in years
prior to 1915. This will make the
work of listing property for taxation
purposes much easier for the taxpayer
and lessen the work of the assessors
and auditors much in tabulating such
work.

GET-TOGETHER MEETING

On Friday evening of this week a
get-together meeting will be held in
the high school assembly room. The
teachers will be guests of honor.
The purpose of the meeting is to
further the interests of the public
schools, to secure the cooperation of
parents and teachera in promoting the
best interests of the individual child
and if possible make our school a
civic center. In order that permanent
results may be secured, it is hoped
that the sentiment may be in favor
of forming permanent organization
of the nature of Parent.Teacher 3
Association. The meeting on Fri
day evening will begin at $3.50. A
short program will be given in the
assembly room. After the program
an informal reception will be held in
the corridors on the first floor. Re.
freshments will be served. A cordial
invitation is extended to parents,
teachers and friends of education.

GOLD DOLLARS FOR PRIZES

The corn growing contest for the
pupils Of schools in Linden and part
of Dresden townships, in which the
prizes were awarded by the State
Bank of Hannah, was brought to a
close by the awarding of prizes to the
contestants Saturday afternoon of last
week. The winners were Earle Bas-
singthwaite, Percy Mcintyre and
Harold dowitson. Twelve entered
the contest. The prizes were S25. 90,
$12. so and $500 in gold. To the
nine contestants who were not prize
winners the bank presented time GER
tificates of deposit bearing interest
and due in one year from date. Con-
tests such as that gotten up by the
State Bank of Hanna cannot other
wise than stimulate an interest in
corn growing as one of the staple
crops of our county. 1t also gives ar
impetus to the boys and girls in the
school to the work on the farm.
