county, will turn for constabulary
service when the militiamen are taxi

place. The Fargo home guard has a
membership of about 20 to date, of
high class men who have shown re-

Because of the fact that two trans

company consists of non-commis-

Should the home guard be called

of st. Paul, district federal engineer,
with whom he will inspect federal aid
projects in Cass, Richland, Trail,
Foster and Griggs counties.

ago started field observations in this
vicinity, is now in Mclean county,
engaged on a private dam and ditch
irrigation project.
Members of the county board of
commissioners went into session at

board of equalization. To date there
have been no complaints lodged with
the board against any of the assess

LITTLE IF ANY
PERSONAL TAXES
TO BE COLLECTED.
Under New Law One Must
Own Over ST., 100 Worth
to Be Taxed

Little, IL any, personal tax will be
paid in North Dakota next year,
states State Auditor Kositzky. To get
on the personal tax lists for even so
little as $500 the individual, under
North Dakota's new tax schedule,
must own at least $1,100 worth OF
household furniture or other personal
goods. On $1,100 worth of household
goods, which IL somewhat more than
the average citizen owns, the assessed
valuation would be S55, the new rate
being Ave per cent, and OF this
amount the individual would be en-
titled to $50 exemptions, leaving the
valuation upon which he would pay
taxes $500.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
Kansas Editor Holds That Papers
Shauid Accept Ads From Nj
Parties.

Topeka, Kansas, Jan. ga par
tisan newspaper should accept ad-
vertising from all political parties,
according to Fav n. Seaton. editor OF
the Manhattan Mercury. who discussed
the question today before the Kansas
State Editorial association.
Nh Seator pointed out that a news
paper is auasicommon carrier Of adj
vertising and. is under obligations to
accept all advertising offered which is
rot objectionable Political adver-
Using is not objectionable, he said,
and a newspaper owes It to its read
ers to present or permit to be pre-
scented through its columns all sides
of public questions, if presenting any.
BY 50 doing, said Mr.. Seaton, the
newspaper pleases its readers, anG ad-
vertisers of political faiths different
from the editors.
"That is the fair thing to do" he
said, land such fairness strengthens
the editors standing in the commun-
ity and the public's confidence in his
sincerity in his own views of poll
teal issues: and also such advertis-
ing is profitable source of income
He also pointed out that the criti-
cism that a papers support may be
purchased by means of advertising
through it's columns cannot be ap-
piled to the papers which accept ad-
vertising from all parties.

Most of the so-called stomach, liver
and kidney troubles are due almost
entirely to catarrhal Inflammation Of
these organs which brings about
general weakened condition of the sys-
tenn. 1t is Mr.. Cooper's theory that
almost nine out of every ten people are
more or less SO affected and many Of
them do not know what is really wrong
with them.
Such people, and there are thousands
of them everywhere, suffer from
headaches, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness, depression of spirits and sto.n-
ach, liver and kidney disorders.
Tanlac, which is a powerful recon-
structive tonic, appetizer and invigor-
ant, is what they need. It builds up
the system, creates a healthy appe-
tite, aids and promotes digestion and
makes you feel strong, sturdy and
well. There is no doubt about that
fact.
The public is warned against buy
ing Tanlac from any ether than regu-
lar established agencies. Genuine
Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff exclusive
ly by the Central Pharmacy and bears
