belt three feet wide and carried to q
huge grinder which reduces it to
fine pieces. From this grinder it
is conveyed to pulping ma
chine, where hot water and live
steam is applied together with a GER
tain percentage of tar. which acts in
conjunction with the hot water and
steam as a thorough disinfectant of
the product and also as deOdorizer of
the smoke of the fuel while being con-
sumed as well as a deodorizer of the
fuel itself. The mass is thoroughly
mixed in this machine and is reduced
to a pulp. From this machine the
mass is conveyed to a mixer, where
coal dust is added in the desired pro-
portion, according to the purpose for
which the fuel is to be used. For
steam purposes, where rapid combus-
ton is required, coal dust is unneces-
sary. although very small percentage
is sometimes used, while for domes-
tic purposes, where slow even fire
Is desired, the best results are OBJ
tanned by the addition Of 80 per cent
of coal dust. From the mixer the
mass drops into a mOlding machine
where it is nodded into bricks. Then
it is conveyed through drying kiln
where the bricks are thoroughly dried.
All conveyors, elevators and machin-
erv are tightly inclOsed so that there
is no escape of dust, and the only odOr
in the entire plant is the smell or
creosote that is contained in the tar.
For this reason it is perfectly possible
TO establish a plant in the business or
residential districts of city without
being offensive. The remarkable spec
+ocJe of seeing old shoes, hats, paper,
rags straw. manure, house garbage,
NIGHT soil and a variety of other waste
nroducts being thrown into one ma
chine and emerging from another In
the shane of a perfect fuel brick WIN
ou+ odor and bearing no resemblance
whatever to the original Materials Is
almost miraculous.
Among the advantages claimed tor
the new fuel are that 1t will not SLACK,
no matter how long it is kept in stor-
age. that it is impervious to water
and that il burns t0 ashes without
leaving a semblance Of clinkers. 1t
also produces practically no ordor and
very little smoke when burning. There
is a very large percentage, often as
high as % per cent of the ordinary

without being consumed, so that it fire.

PLANT THAT MAKES MCE"
Habits of the Frost Weed Have Long
Proved a Puzzle to Bot
anists.

Late in autumn, after producing two
sets of blooms, the frost weed becomes
miniature ice factory and forms
crystals of 'ice" about the cracked
bark of the root. On each little brOk-
en- rootlet there appear cakes of 'ice, "
exactly right in size for the refriger-
ator of a fairy queen. AS yet no bot
anist has been able to discover the
secret of the plants ice-making.
The ice appears often long before
ice is formed on the ponds, and can
be found by digging up the deeply set
rOotlets.
Two blooming seasons is another
popularity of the plant. Early in
June it sends out a wealth OF golden
yellow blossoms. having five petals
each and set at intervals upon the
thickly leaved stem.
Then late in August the plant flow
ers lgain, producing blooms identical
with those of the earlier season

HERD SUBORDINATE TO FARM
Farmer Makes Big Mistake If He Doet

fBy DIR. II. B. FAv1LL.l


The man who doesn't regard his

EGrebred breeding cattle, as the hand

ants, as the side issues of the farm
and which is only a means of building
the farm up to its highest possibilities

For, after ALL it is the farm that
counts, and not the herd that is on it

is subordinate to the farm and is uset

of the garbage fuel bricks will
burn on an average of two and
half hours in a small stove, as
against two hours and twenty minutes

amount of heat as the latter. The
average cost of manufacturing the fuel

PENNY CARNIVAL

Monday, April 10th, 1916 will
be the date of the 3rd Annual
Penny Carnival at the S. S. 5,

has given the committee in charge
ample time to make this affair
bigger than ever. Work is already
we'll advanced along all lines.
There is a considerable amount
Of available talent this year which
will guarantee plenty of fun and
excitement. There will be more
clowns and side shows large
police force, a menagerie and in
fact every foot of available. floor
space will be used for some at
traction.
The Penny Carnival has always
proved one of the biggest features

BENEFITS FOR
LIBRARY STARTED
The "library Benefit" Commit
tee Of the Woman's Lit
erary Club
HOLD SERIES OF BENEFITS
Their Object is to creats q Build
ing Fund for the Wahpeton
Public Library

The Library Benefit" Commit
tee of the Woman's Literary Club
of this city has started a series
of teas and benefits similar to
those given by the Civic Commit
tee last year.
Their object is to create a
building fund for public library.
In as much as the library has been
free to its patrons since June
first, there has been no revenue
coming in to improve and enlarge
it. Consequently there is great
need for new books particularly
children's books. During the
month of February there were
nine hundred patrons visiting the
library. A great many of these
were children and there weren't
enough suitable books for them.
Then, too, the reading tables were
crowded with girls and boys on
Saturday evenings. There is 4
need for more room.
\ public library open every ev-
ening with nice large reading
rooms and plenty of magazines,
would be a splendid thing for our
young people. 1t would furnish
the girl and boy with a nice clean
place to spend the evening pro-
fitably and enjoyably. Every home
in which there are young people
should be interested in this move
ment.
The Ladies appealed to, to give
teas have responded enthusiastic
ally. They may entertain at tea
in the afternoon or have an even-
ing benefit just as they choose.
Each hostess is to invite ten or
more guests, her refreshments
are limited to three things, and
the guests will bring ten cents for
the fund. HOstesses will kindly
forward moneys collected to Mrs.
r. C. McClintock, treasurer of this
committee. We wish to have these
entertainments continued every
week ON each street and urge the
ladies of this city to enter into the
spirit Of this movement and VOL
unteer to- entertain. The names
Of the ladies entertaining will be
published each week. This week

SENT
TO ASSESSORS
BY the Tax Commission to Al tho
County Auditors. Gotten Out
In Pamphlet Form
all ASSESSORS THIS YEAR
Arc Required to Assess Property
at 26 Per Cent Of It's
MARKET Value

Instructions to assessors have
been sent by the Tax Commission
to all the County Auditors. These
instructions have been gotten out
in pamphlet form under the direc
tion of the State Board of Equal
ization and the Tax Commission.
All assessors are this year re-
quired to assess property at 25
per cent of its market value. The
only exception to this rule is in
the case of monies and credits
which are to be assessed at per
cent of their actual and true val
ue. This will bring the tax bur-
den OH monies and credits at
about So a thousand, thus carry
ing out the intention of the last
legislature.
State Auditor Jorgenson has
this year prepared a new person.
al property schedule. II contains
rs items and all property must
be listed under its appropriate
column. Heretofore it. has been
customary TO allow business hon.
ses to- lump their business for as
sessment purposes. but this will
no longer be allowed.
Other changes made are in the
requiring of assessors to return
for taxation purposes all animals
of whatever kind born on OF be-
fore April first, 1916. This in
cludes all poultry, household pets
dogs, cats and birds.
Assessors are instructed to use
no general averages as they have
done in prior years. The fair mar
ket value of each article must be
used. In other words assessors
are not to do their assessing be-
hind the kitchen stove but must
actual view every piece of ground
and see, all taxpayers in their dis
tricts.
BY agreement and on recon-
mendation of the State Auditors
association of County Auditors
elevators are To be assessed ac-
cording to their capacity. Crib
elevators, $50 per thousand bush
el capacity. Concrete elevators $75
per thousand bushel capacity.
Assessors this year must ass
pss all fences, giving the number
of rods of fencing and the value
per rod. Different values must he
placed on different kinds nf fen
ces.
The fifty dollar exemption al
lowed by law will be made Tins
year by the county auditor. AS
SCISSORS will moi be allowed 10
make any exemptions of any kind.
Lodge property is assessable
this year under a recent opinion
by attorney general l.indr. IN
accordance with this opinion as
SCISSORS are required To list all
this class property. which has
herctofor been exempt.
If assessors fail to follow the
instructions issued t'' them and
complaint is made I" th" Tax
Commission of any failure TO fol-
low the instructions. reassrss-
mcnt will be ordered at the en-
Ecnsc of the district. This will
especially apply to failure to list
