WASTE ON FARMS.

Out of the war will come some ben
Gifts to Offset in part the terrible loss
of life. Necessity has forced upon all
belligerents the practice OF conserva-
ton.
Germany especially has been COM
PEELED to find new ways to supply ma
terials denied them by reason OF the
blockade that hens in her ports. Her
chemists have taken material Is dis
carded as useless and In them discov-
cred the sinews OF war. These exper'
iments after the clouds OF conflict
claarsaway will be given to the world.
This nation with its high cost of liv.
ing can we'll take lesson 1t is in
disputable that enough is wasted in
this nation yearly to keep it beyond
want
A recent report Of the Department
sof Agriculture shows that $1O0,OOO.OO0
Is wasted yearly on American
farms through the improper conserva.
ton of corn fodder and straw. Much
Of these by-products goes up in smoke
each year as the farmer applies the
torch to clear his land for another
crop.
Not long ago chemical engineer
made this statement relative to waste
of one kind of white pine:
when this waste is intelligently
considered, not as waste, but as raw
material, it will be seen to afford a
basis for building up the greatest
group of correlated tby-product indus
tries the world has ever seen. This
will comprise wood pulp and board,
paper, Irvine, turpentine, rosin, pine
oil, charcoal, tar. ethyl alcohol, cattle
feed, varnishes, ether, and probably
acetic acid and wood alcohol"
The war, il it continues. will foce
upon us the more intensive practice
OF economies and thrift.

SMALL HAIL TAX WOULD
PRODUCE BIG REVENUE,
STATISTICS INDICATE
Nine Gents an Acre on Cultivated
Lands Would Create ST.
460,514.18

A very small annual tax on the cul-
tivated lands Of the state would create
an enormous fund to be used in the
payment OF hail losses. show statisti-
cal tables which are being prepared
against possible legislative curiosity
by Deputy Thomas Sheehan of the
state insurance commissioner force.
There are about 45,0OO,O00 acres OF
tillable lands in North Dakota, but
only approximately 100000 are I'M
der cultivation. Based upon this total
a tax of four cents the acre would pro-
duce $64S,212.SS per anum; five cents,
1910, 7S0.60: six cents, $973.S9S.92;
seven cents, $1.137,5O2.S6: eight cents,
81, 294. 1886, and nine cents, 81 AGO.
514.1S.
In 1916 the total amount paid in pre-
miums into North Dakota's state hail
fund was s33,112.37. Premiums were
assessed at a average rate of 80 cents
the acre on 10000 acres, and hail
losses were paid at about IS per cent
of the adjusted loss. The last year as
an abnormal one in the heavy extent
OF losses. In 1915. which was a nor
NAL year. commercial hail insurance
companies operating in North Dakota
collected $2,4lS,431.52 in premiums.

STATE OVERDRAWN,, nay
HAVE RELIEF FROM TAX
DUES. ON |NHER|TANCES
Auditor Carl Kositzky Asks Coun'
ty To Pay Amounts Now
Due North Dakota

The state of North Dakota, State
Auditor Karl R. Kositzky announced
last evening, is overdrawn just
$34723, and its unpaid bills, allowed
by the state auditing board and now
due or past due, amount to just $46,'
1890. There is, however, some ITO.
ney coming in right along, aud the
auditor hopes there will be enough
cash in the treasury to take care Of
the legislators when their vouchers
are presented.
After Inheritance Tax.
The state auditor intends to see
whether it will not be possible for
the state to collect some $4,000 dues
in Inheritance tax which is being held
by county treasurers. The treasurers
have not "forked over" before be.
cause of confusion in the inherit
ance law, one section of which pro.
vides that the county treasurer shall
forward 100 per cent of the tax col
lected to the state treasury, while an.
other clause provides that the coun.
ties making the collection may re.
tain 2 per cent. Auditor kositzky is
informing the county officers that if
they will forward to the state the 100
per cent required by law he will re-
turn to them the 2 per cent to which
the same law entities them. This
1900 would relieve the immediate
stringency considerably, and it is hop.
ed that by the middle of the month
receipts from December tax sales will
be showing up. .. -

omen. There has been too much In.
difference in the past.
The league Is doing good work in
acquaintng the farmers with their
state government. District meetings
are being held where problems are
being discussed and it seems likely
that future elections will see more
enlightened electorate.
Upon the shoulders of the leaders a
grave responsibility rests. They
must show the members OF their or
ganization that nothing but the wei
tare Of the state acLuates their mo-
tiyes II the movement is commcr
cializcd and the spirit OF revolt CAPT
talized, then 1t has all been in vain
They must demonstrate by their dis.
intcrcstedncss that progress, not pat.
ronage, Is the goal.
This is the first regime in North
Dakota that the farmer demonstrated
his strength as voting unit. He
appreciates thoroughly the advan
tages Of organization and cooperation
in politics. Before he goes much fur
thcr, he will realize also that sue.
cess lies in a judiciOus and rational
use Of that power.
The movement il successful here
will spread to other states. No re.
gimc ever had a greater opportunity
to prove its worth to the state. No
regime in the past has been put to
such test and certainly no regime
has ever had responsibility so directly
fixed.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE
OF. RHEUMATISM,
HI. .LUMBAGO AND GOUT?
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. ~

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. ~
Ever since Scheele, in 1875, discov-
cred that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been max
ing experimental Investigations and it
is the almost universal opinion of our
best medical men that the presence
of uric acid in the system in excess is
the cause Of rheumatism and govt
When the urate salts are precipitated
out of the blood into the solid tissue
structure the person suffers from govt
or rheumatism in the muscles and
joints, or suffers from lumbago and
pain in the back muscles. The first
aim of the sufferer should be to get
rid OF the uric acid, which, in excess,
is a poison, and to do this it swell to
drink a pint of hot water morning and
night-get tablets of Anuric at the
nearest drug store and take them be-
fore meals regularly. Anuric will do
no harm to the system and will carry
off the uric acid by stimulating the
kidneys. Then tincture iodine may be
painted over the swellings, or in more
severe cases hot linseed policies may
be applied to soothe the local symp-
toms. But most important is it for the
sufferer to abstain from red meat, to
diet, drink only lemonade or hot wat
er, and take Anuric for a considerable
time as it causes a drainage outward
of the uric acid and is many times
more potent than lithia and usually
one finds that it dissolves uric acid
as hot water does sugar.

friendly feeling for the knights Of the

he never has coveted a slice Of the

Senator Mostad feels that the 400
majority which his league program
won him last November has commit

expects, to stand pat on line originally
laid down by thesleague. He is not
radical upon any subject except that

EQUITY PACKING

BURTON STORIES
Most Enlightening Treatises OF
Handling Food Stuffs Ever

FINAL DECISION ON BIG
PROJECT DUE THIS MONTH

81 doubt if the people of the north
west have ever got anything in the
news columns so enlightening and so
really instructive as these articles
last evening declared Ferdinand N.
King, former branch manager for the
National Packing company, and now
general sales agent for the Equity
Cooperative Packing Plant company
Mr.. King was referring to series
of articles on the handling of food
stuffs, with their relation to the high
cost Of living, which H. l.. Burton Of
the Newspaper Enterprise association
recently wrote for the Bismarck Trib-
une and published exclusively in these
columns.
Knows His Subject.
"The Burton articles struck the
keynote" said Mr.. King. "This man
Burton, beyond question, knows
what he is talking about. This series
has done our packing plant project
more good than any publicity which
we could have possibly procured.
Farmers all over the state, wherever
the Tribune goes, are talking OF
them" &" u IL;
Old Meat Man.
Mr.. King is an old-time meat man,
who grew up with the Armours,
Swifts, Cudahys and other kings of
the packing industry. Until Uncle
Sam dissolved the National Packing
company, the present Equity man was
manager of some Of its largest south
ern branches, in Shreveport; La. New
Orleans, Atlanta and other important
Dixie centers. He is now actively as
ISOLATED in the promotion of the Equi-
ty plant, for which he sees a big
future.
ITO Decide Next Week.
w. C. Ochampaugh of Fargo, gener-
al organizer for the Equity plant,
dropped in with Mr.. King last night.
He is very well pleased with the way
the project is taking and he states
that until cold weather and heavy

$755,875 FOR
INSTITUTIONS
UNDER BOARD
Seven "Plants" Will Require
About Three-Quarters Of Mil
lion During Biennium
BUDGET COMMITTEE TO
GET IN WORK TOMORROW

For the support of the seven penal
and charitable institutions under the
charge Of the state board OF control
that body tomorrow will ask the bud
get committee to approve total ap-
preparation OF $755,875.
This aggregate is divided as fol-
lows:
Reform school, $4,000.
Penitentiary. $3l1,SS5
Hospital for insane, 13O,60O.
Predetermined institute. $l39,350.
School for deaf, $780,.
tuberculosis sanitarium, $90,94O.
The large appropriation asked for
the penitentiary, institution for tho
feeble-minded and the tuberculosis
sanitarium are accounted for by the
fact that these institutions have no
interest or income fund upon which to
draw.
Other institutions are provided for
as follows:
Bonds
Institute for the blind -. $40, $50. 90
Capitol, permanent fund :. 185,350 .OO
Interest and income ...... 69,7OO.OO
Hospital for insane ....... 9l,l6O.W

Interest and income ....... $780, 90
School for deaf ........... 14,3OO. ~
Insane hospital ........... $1,000
Reform school ......... $4,000 100
The endowment and interest and in
come funds Of the blind school are
sufficient to provide for its needs, and
it is not asking anything of the pres
ent legislature. The feeble-minded
institute and the hospital for the in
sane each receive from the counties
SIS for each patient. This amount is
sufficient for the former, but an in
crease to $1S per patient or an added
appropriation will he asked for the
hospital for the insane.

POSSIBILITY Of
RETARD|NG ACTION ON
FLOOR OF THE HOUSE
Believed This Will Result in Re.
duction of Committees Unless
Bills Are Caucused

That progress Will be- r7tarded on
the floor by the action of the house
yesterday afternoon in. authorizing
the committee on, rules to cut down
the members of the standing commit
tees tt; a minimum of three and to a
maximum of nine in referring back to
the rules committee its report, was
the opinion of several prominent legis.
lators seen in the Hobbies Of the hotels
last evening.
The reduction of the membership Of
the committees, it was pointed out,
was undoubtedly aimed to expedite
legislation, but according to several Of
the old heads, a committee-say of q
members-c thresh out a bill in a
committee room and save more time
than when the measure is brought up
in the house and has only a scattered
few to support it.
However, few of the non-members
of the league are of the belief that
most of the: bills will be caucused in
the league headquarters, which II it
be so, the steam-roller, will be put on
and it will be easy sailing to get the
measures through. 1t was inferred
from the action of the house on re-.
ferring back of the report that the
leagues program now is to get to the
matter of constitutional convention
as soon as possible.
As result of the recommendations
to the rules committee from the house,
the committee on committees tOgeth-
er with the speaker, went to work last
night in tearing down the committees
which had already been named and Sc
lecting 46 new committees in conform
ity with the rules. The revision is a
tedious task and no one seems to fam
cy the job of the members on the
of committees. II
