Sox Have no AilbIs.
There were no alibis in the Sox
camp today. They were beaten by
great pitching yesterday and admit
ted it. Eddie Cicotts pitched at top
speed but was just a trifle TO the
bad in the fourth inning. Praise was
heaped upon the head Of the Giants
southpaw star by the Chicagocns and
they were only a mite less stingy in
their laudation OF Dave Robertson. It
was Robertson's bat that drove ball
far over Joe Jackson,s head in right
field for the triple that resulted in
the first Giant run and 1t was Dave
who plunged into the right field wall
and grasped a drive from the bat Of
Chick Gandil. while a White Sox
runner rested on the base lines.
There was no criticism of J. Collins,
White Sox left fielder, for his two
hobbies and a third near.bobhie. II
was admitted Collins took some OF
the pep out OF the entertainment for
them for he made Cicotte pitch hard
by twice placing Benny Kauft in po-
sition to score
a q u

ing the game that they we're not in
a position to take advantage Of the
slightest slip and turn It 20 victory.
They lost simply because OF Ruoe

Protecting Tree Wounds.

No covering of a tree wound will in
anywiSe hasten the healing process
or help form a callus. Its sole office
is one of protection from decay, in
sccts, ETC., while the stub is gradually
being covered by new growth. Dress
ings should be reapplied whenever the
wood becomes exposed to keep out in
lection until entirely callOused over,
for if decay or other germs, or in
sects once get lodgment, even if the
wound entirely heals over, the infec-
ton may work until the tree dies or
becomes hollow. The callus is formed
by the cambium tissue or inner bark
that lies between bark and wood. The
old wood itself takes no part in the
healing process, but on the contrary
dies and is therefore menace to the
life Of the tree. So cut branches as to
leave no stub and then use white lead,
red lead, oil, grating wax, creosote,
tar, asphalt or any material which
completely covers and excludes air and
water.

removes the freckles; while 1T does

Simply get an ounce of othine-

you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beau

Be sure to ask the druggist for the

Primitive View of tho BuIlfroa.


The frogs in America, it must here
be observed. make most singular
noise, some Of them being absolutely
whistling, while others croak so loud
~ that it is difficult at times to tell
whether the sound proceeds from a
calf or frog. I have more than once
been deceived by the noise when walk
ing in meadow. These last frogs are
called bullfrogs. They mostly keep in
pairs and are never found but where
there is good water. Their bodies are
from four TO seven inches long, and
their legs are in proportion. They are
extremely active and take prodigious
leaps.--From an Old Book of Travels.

pie say to us, through properly

and that every unmarried per-
son not the head of a family
must pay a tax on that portion
of that persons net income that
exceeds $1,000. This law is re-
troactive; that is, it became ef-
fective Jan. 1, 1917, so that all
persons who come under the
classes above described as re-
quired to render a statement of
their net income for the year
1917. This statement must be
returned to the collector of In
ternal Revenue or one Of his duly
authorized representatives be-
tween December 81, and March
l, 1918. Failure on the part of
any one liable to make the above
described report within the pres
|cribed time makes that person Ii
able to a heavy fine or a term in
prison or both, in addition to a
penalty of so per cent of their
tax. Ignorance of this law will
not excuse anyone. All persons
liable to make this return must
secure from the Collector of In
ternal Revenue the proper blank
and make the return, or later
suffer the consequences.
The Government realizes that
thousands and thousands of per-
sons will now be required to
make this return who were ex-
empt in former years and is very
anxious to give every possible
aid to this class in order that
they may avoid the penalties
which this law prescribes. For
that reason / have been author
lied to employ the necessary
number of additional field men !;

the law and send them through

all farmers and business men

comply with it.
Within q few days l will ad-
wise every post master, banker
and newspaper as to the days
and place that I will have an in
come tax man in your county
and will depend upon them to ad-

and will be glad to help anyone
who calls upon him, to make out

THIS FAMILY
DID THEIR BIT

Are the farmers doing their
bit? Well, it would almost indi-
cate as much judging from the
following letter from a farm wife
in Montana. She says:
Being a simple farm wife l
know nothing of the figures in
regard to "agrarian wealth." but
! do know a few plain facts that
hold true in this little commun-
ity, and now, when everyone
seems to be picking on the
farmer" feel as if it would do
no harm to make them known.
To begin with, all we home
steaders around here staked our
little all last spring to break up
and seed every possible acre
within our power. This meant
the necessity Of putting a neat
plaster" on our quarter of land,
and also that friend husband and
friend wife toiled for all there
was in them from the first glim-
mer of day till dark at night. But
that was alright. We deemed it
little enough to do for old U. S.,
having no boys big enough to
send.
Alas, however, all our effort
was in vain, when week followed
week with never a drop of rain,
SO that when the golden harvest
time should have come, all we
could do was to turn the horses
in and let them get what they
could out Of the parched ruins
(of course we had drought in
surance, but the company went
"bust."
Well, to make a long story
short, we have all borrowed 81
per cent money to purchase Lib
erty bonds with as we were OBJ
liged to stretch our credit for the
necessities of life and deemed
them first on the list. | could go
on and tell you of the young
conscript, which place adjoins
ours, who was too proud to ask
exemption (being Of French par
entage) and who is now at
Camp Lewis, while his wife and
baby are doing the best they
can.

THE COURANT
L0YALTYPLEDCE
THE LOYALTY PLEDGE

1A1E LO1 ALI ALDuL
The Bottineau Courant believes
that promiscuous, unsubstanti-
ated sharges of disloyalty brot
against individuals through the
press of the state is a direct aid
and comfort to the enemy and
can only result in hatred and an
imosity, at a time when the peo-
pie of the state and nation
should stand shoulder to should
er in a fight for Humanity, Lib
erty and Democracy.
Sedition, treason and disloy-
atty can not be too severely pun
ished. Such infractions should
be called to the attention of the
proper authorities and dealt with
in the courts of the land in a le-
gal and orderly manner.
An evil propaganda is at work
in North Dakota, casting re-
Elections upon a large majority
Of it's citizens and it's highest
public officials. The very obvi-
GUS fact that this has no high
er purpose than political aggran-
dizement for a discredited polit-
ical gang, again attempting to
fasten itself upon the state,
makes it's operation under the
cloak of patriotism all the more,
vicious.
In a recent statement to the
press, F. O. Hellstrom, Secretary
of the State Council of Defense,
made the following declaration:
mo attacks of disloyalty
should be made to the press. If
any person has evidence of dis
loyalty sufficient to bring about.
a conviction he should present
them to the United States Dis
trict attorney. If he hasn't got
the evidence and charges q man
with disloyalty the person so do
ing is guilty of gross misconcep-
tion of his duty to his nation"
The Courant ther q f O re
pledges itself to do everything
possible to carry out the sug-
gestions of the Secreary of the
State Council of Defense and
promises every cooperation in
furtherance of the movement to
protect the good name of the
state and prevent aid to the en-
emy, through publication of re-
ports assailing the loyalty Of any
one.
