NORTH DAKOTA MUST
STRAIGHTEN OUT

Senator Gronna presented to the
semitic on Saturday resolutions adopt
ed by the Burleigh County Farmers
Union of Bismarck, N. D., opposing an
increase in ornaments. The resolu-
tons scarcely do the farmers justice.
The people of Florida are sending
up resolutions in favor of ornaments.
The North Dakota resolutions closed
with a demand on congress to redeem
all pledges made to the farmers and
to enact a rural credits law, a law
against gambling in produce options
on boards of trade, a law providing
for national standards for grain grad
ing and inspection, and law creating
national bureau of markets.
We call to the attention of the farm
ers of North Dakota that all these de-
mands are purely selfish to them
selves. The people have paid them
high prices for their wheat this sea-
son, and they should be more grateful
than to insist on so narrow a view

THE HIGH SCHOOLS OF NORTH
DAKOTA

State High School Inspector r. K.
Edwards submitted his annual report
to the North Central Associations of
Colleges and Secondary Schools con.
corning the condition of the North Da-
kota High schools which are accredit-
ed as members of this association on
Jan. /, 1916. There are at present 81
high schools in North Dakota belong
ing to the association. Cakes high
school has applied for accrediting and
one of two other schools may do the
same. New schools are added to the
list by having their reports approved
by the official board of inspection
which consists Of one representative
from each Of the Is states belonging
to the association.
North Dakota has at date II first
class high schools and five agriculture
al high schools and 80 of these are on
the list of accredited schools of the
North Central Association. This is a
good showing for state as young as

EFFICIENCY ON THE FARM

In 1880, less than a century ago,
each bushel Of wheat produced on
American farms represented three
hours and three minutes of human la
Dor, according to statistics furnished
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. .
Today, better wheat is produced to
an average labor expenditure per
bushel of less than ten minutes.
And though the cost of farm labor
has almost doubled several times in
the interval, according to the North
Dakota Development League Press
Bureau at Grand Forks, the labor-cost
per bushel of wheat has fallen from
IS cents to less than three cents.
No better picture of efficiency could
be painted.
And no one could ask further proof
that the farm is a fertile field for the
cultivation of this quality which has
leaped into the limelight within the
past decade.
The greatest advances in farm eff
cheney have been made within rs
years, labor-saving machinery. toward
the middle of the nineteenth century.
But more recently science has Of
fered the farmer three new aids to
efficient management and production.
In order of their adoption, these are
gasoline, concrete and dynamite.
Briefly stated, it may be said that
the farmer who makes full use of this
trinity of first aids to fortune and
backs up their almost limitless posi-
bilities with fertilizers, seed selection
and common sense, is building a bust
ness more solid than that of any bank
in the nation.
For the cornerstone of the farmers
business is the soil. Yet, with all that
has been done to make farming a pos
sible source of large profits, and wider
service to humanity, the farmer today
stands on the threshold of his larger
opportunities.
Gasoline, concrete and dynamite.
power, strength and force-have as
yet been little more than tested out.

Inheritance Tax Law
Discrir1liinates and Is
Invalid, Lawyers Say

Fargo, Feb. 3.-That the North Da-
kota Inheritance tax law is unconsti-
tutional because it unjustly and arbi-
trarily discriminates against non
resident alien heir in favor of a resi-
dent heir who is citizen-thus dou-
BILE observation-disclosures cOntended in
the arguments presented to Judge
Hanson yesterday by States Attorney
A. w. Fowler in the case Of Martin A.
Hagen, deceased, former partner in
the jewelry firm of Hagen-Newson &
Co., of Fargo. The state tax commits
sion was represented by George Wal
lace, a member of the commission. A
decision on the constitutionality of the
law is expected to be given soon by
Judge Hanson.
When Martin A. Hagen died in Far
go on the 10th day of March, 1914, he
left as one of his heirs his sister,
Elina A. Skarderud, of Norway. The
amount willed to her was $33,24O.50.
The inheritance tax law of North Da-
kota provides that nonresident alien
heir who is a collateral heir shall pay
tax of rs per cent, whereas a resi-
dent collateral heir only pays a tax
Of III per cent. Alma A. Skarderud
contends that by the treaty between
the United States and Norway she can
only be made to pay the same rate as
resident of this state, and also con-
tends through her counsel that this
clause in the state law Chapter 1876,
laws of 1879 is unconstitutional be-
cause it "unjustly and arbitrarily dis
eliminates against nonresident
alien heir in favor of resident alien
heir and also in favor of resident
heir"
If the rate of the Inheritance tax is
computed at Is per cent, Elina Skarde-
rud will pay the state of North Dakota
the sum of $8,31012. and if the rate
is computed the same as her brother
will pay, who is a resident of this
country, she will have to pay $4SS.60
or difference of $7,S11.52.

That the Times-Record has a wide
circulation and that the eligible bache-
lor list as published early in January
received more than a passing notice
is proven from the fact that a party
here received a contribution from a
friend in far away Texas in regard to
same. 1t runs as follows:
When the pies are in the punkin'
And the holes are in your sock,
When the cats are in the kitchen
And you do not wind the clock,
When you burn your bloomin' biscuit
And your spuds are soggy Jumps,
When your steak is like the leather
In your sisters dancing pumps,
Then you bet you sure will listen
To the cooling of the dove
While some Leap Year maiden tells
Of her cooking and her love. ...s
Tells you how she'll cleave unto you,
Strong and steadfast as rock,
When the pies are in the punkin'
And the holes are in your sock.

SOME READABLE VERSE
LEARNING TO FARM

Massachusetts has started a cor
respondence course in Agriculture.)
It is oh! to rise ere the wintry skies
grow red with approaching day,
To wake the COWS as they stand and
browse mid the frost-bespangled
hay.
There's subtle charm to the dear old
farm when it's covered with gleam-
ing snow;
There's a joyful thump to the frozen
pump when the mercury's 10 be-
low.
No throne for me, when at half past
three can sit on a milking stool
In delightful bliss-I have learned all
this at correspondence school.
To comb the locks of the placid OK as
he solemnly chews his cud,
While the snowfiakes fall on the
stable wall with dull and sick
ening thud;
To scatter the chaff for the new wean-
ed calf, while the rooster crows
aloof;
By the light of match or two to
patch the leaks in the cOWshed
roof,
To teach the hen not to set again, to
curry the shivering horses,
You can learn to do-and you ought
to, too - in correspondence
course.
Just sit by the light of fire at night
in a snug and sheltered nook,
With your pen and ink and a nice hot
drink and a farm instruction book,
And comfortably learn to milk and
churn and to shake the potatoes
down, ..I..
And to harrow and reap till you fall
asleep and dream you have moved
to town.
The course you will find will improve
your mind; it's utterly free from
harm
And, take it from me, it VIII always be
the best way to learn to farm.

FATHER

~
He was not the kind OF father that you
read about in books;
He wasn't long on language, and he
wasn't strong on looks;
He was not the sort of father that you
hear about in plays; w
He was just human father with nu.
man fathers ways.
No, he never baked at working, but
when he was through it once
Right down to the grass was father,
with the children, doing stunts.
All of us would pile upon him, and he'd
welcome all the pack,
But I'm wondering after playtime did
we stay thereon his back7
Wasn't strong on dissipation; said his
"gambol on the green"
Was to fill the platter faster than the
kids could lick it clean.
And the next best game he knew of
was an equal one to beat,
1t was keeping leather covers up to the
supply of feet.
Always on the job was father, plugging
steadylike and strong,
Never making any noise, but helping
all his little world along,
And to think-Lord, amt it funny you
can see things years and years
And yet never know you've seen them
till your eyes are blind with tears? ?
Quit his job one day and left us smil-
ing as he went away,
Eulogy seems all so foolish. What can
anybody say?
Seemed like even in his leaving he was
saving someone bother,
For the one word on the granite which
lies over him is Father"

SPENCER D. REED, DC.
For six years Valley City's
Chir0praCtOr
FARMERS OBJECT TO
RAISE IN HAIL RATES
Phone 1866 once over City Drug Store

Bismarck, Jan. 29.-With an increase
in hail insurance rates the 13 south
western North Dakota counties from
81a per cent to 10 per cent, made by
insurance companies on the plea that
the district is more likely to be visited
by hail storms than the balance of the
state, the farmers will appeal to the
insurance commissioner of the state
action.
Another result that is likely will
be to drive more farmers into the state
hail insurance plan. The state main
tains it's own hail insurance depart
ment, where benefits are paid on
pro rata basis, and the charge is 81
cents an acre for a maximum insur-
ance of So an acre.
Under the old line company rate,
just promulgated, the farmers would
be compelled to pay $40 per 500 of
protection, as against the former rate
of $3.50 per 500 of protection.
The record of the southwestern Sec
ton in the matter of hail storms dur
ing the past several years has been re-
markable, heavy losses being incurred.
Several mutual companies Of North
Dakota have accepted the advance In
rate declared by the old line compan-
les, and will charge higher insur.
ance rate for the section.

CHEERING SOME ONE ON

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame; ,
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in lies the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone:
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering some one on.
Let your neighbor have the blossoms
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little set-backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when they're forgotten
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
II you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering some one on.
There's lot Of sorrow round You,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots of heartache and of worry
Through the shadows of the years.
And the world needs more than
triumphs;
More than all the swords we've drawn
It is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play,
You'll be here with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetened
In the souls you've saved from pawn
II you put aside the victories
And keep sheering some one on.

HEROES OF NATION

Here is President Wilson's idea of
q hero, expressed in letter from him
to Secretary Lane:
1.-THE rescuer of a bureau of mines
who braves the poisonous gases and
saves a miner from death; the coast
guard who at the peril Of his own life
saves passengers of helpless vessel
from death; the surgeon of the public
health service who stops a dreaded
scourge in it's incipiency; the engin-
eer who succeeds in reducing the haz-
ards of industry to it's men, and the
man who brings about better condi.
tons of living among people, I consid-
er all types of the hero who will be
best regarded in the near future''
