State Auditor General Issues Warn.
Ing To Treasures


Instructions to county treasurers as
to how to deal with taxes on the prop
erty OF men in the naval and military
service went out last week from Aud
itor General Fuller.
Under the federal law OF the last
congress. better known as the Sold
ier's Aid bill. specific instructions are
given that no attempt shall be made
to enforce payment OF taxes or assess-
ments against property OF soldier or
a sailor where an affidavit to the effect
that the owner is In service is made
Mr.. Fuller says:
You will note that the provisions
OF the law apply only to the taxes or
assessments falling due during the
period OF the military service In re-
spect to real property owned and oc-
cupied for dwelling or business pur-
poses by person in the military SER
vice, or his dependents, at the COM
mencement OF bis period OF military
service and still so occupied by his
dependents or employees.
Another section provides that any
person in military service. or any per-
son In his behalf, shall file with the
collector OF taxes, or other officer
whose duty 1t is to enforce the collec-
ton of taxes, an affidavit showing that
tax has been assessed upon prop
erty which is subject to the provis-
ions OF the law, that such tax is I'M
paid, and that by reason OF such mill
tary service the ability OF such person
to pay such tax Is materially affected.
"In compliance with the act OF con-
gress you should compute interest at
the rate OF 6 per cent on all payments
made to you on property owned by a
person in military service and that
was owned and occupied by him for
dwelling or business purposes at the
commencement OF his military SER
vice and still so occupied by his de-
pendents or employees"
Cautioning each treasurer to insist
on the affidavit as provided for in the
act, Mr.. Fuller says:
"As the penalty for making a false
affidavit is $1,000 or Imprisonment for
one year, or both, 1t probably would
be safe for you to accept any affidavit
presented unless, of course, you know
such affidavit is false.
when such affidavit is filed with
you, and you compute the interest on
the tax at the rate OF 6 per cent, you
should note on the duplicate tax re-
ceipts forwarded to this department
the fact that an affidavit has been filed
with you In accordance with an act OF
congress approved March 8, 1918. The
provisions Of the act OF congress APP
ply TO the tax OF any year that be-
comes due while the person was in
military service, but as the first Sc
lective draft was called in June, 1917
1t is quite probable that the tax for
1917 will be the first years tax that
will be affected"

A local merchant in discussing
the food situation said to reporter
Tor The Diamond Drill last week that
all OF the best prunes have been
withdrawn from the market by order
OF the u. S. government. Only the
very small prunes and what are
known as the Oregon prune can be
bought today, The latter prune Is
principally pit.
The prune has food value, fruit
value, and value as a confection, ac-
cording TO war department an
nouncement, and now has most I'M
portant place on the bill-of-fare.

TO VOTERS OF IRON COUNTY

Being a candidate for the Office OF
county treasurer and having learned
OF the argument used against me OF
being a business man, and wealthy.
q certainly have been given high
rating for political purposes). The
fact OF the matter Is, / came here al
most 35 years ago when a trail was
all that could be followed through our
now splendidly paved main street, or
Superior avenue. / have remained
here since and worked among the
different business houses and cherish
from my former employers some of
the highest recommendations per-
son would wish to possess, and wehn
! accumulated a couple hundred dol
lars | started candy store, and the
first opportunity ! had / purchased
my present property on time and have
been improving and putting every dol,
lar ] could get in identifying same,
and still owe balance on the amount

borrowed for my last Improvement,
and never knew until now that IL
was detriment for person to own
property SO that our sidewalks, streets
and schools could be maintained.
So much for the wealthy argument.
As for business-these times arc alb
normal, not normal We are all max
ing sacrifices. The barber business,
which IL a branch OF my establish
ment, may be put in the non-essential
class, and II our young men leave In
as large numbers In the future drafts
as they have in the past six months |
won't have any business.
As a citizen never shirked any
duty was asked to perform in the
community. II is with these condi-
lions confronting me and knowing that
I would have 10 go to work in order
to keep W my property, insurance,
taxes, etc. that I became a candidate
for the office OF county treasurer, and
n the voters OF Iron county choose Ia
elect me 20 this responsible Office
can assure them that the duties OF
the Office will be looked after 10 the
best OF my ability
I am, sincerely,

Power Plants VIII Suffer IL Reports
Are Not Sent In At Once

Power plant questionnaires which
have been sent out by the U. 8. Fuel
Administration to all steam boiler
plants in the state are not being re-
turned as promptly as desirable in
order to expediate the work of CLASH
fication. Three copies of the ques-
tionnaire were sent to each plant with
instructions to return ono copy to the
Federal Fuel Administration Il Lans-
ing. TO retain one copy for the use OF
the u. s. Fuel Inspector when he call
ed and to keep one copy for fling.
Unless the QUESTIONABLE is filled
out and returned within Is days from
the date OF receipt. plant automati-
cally falls in Glass until such time
as complete report is rendered.
This means that some plants may
find themselves In an awkward posi-
ton In regard to the curtailment or
fuel unless steps are taken to advise
the office of the Michigan Fuel Ad-
ministration as to exact conditions
at the plant aud any Improvement
contemplated.
One copy OF the questionnaires
should be returned 10 that office
promptly in order to aid In the work OF
classification, etc. In case some OF
the plants need assistance In filling
out their QUESTIONABLE. we would
suggest that they get into touch with
some stationary engineer who has had
experience in making out reports as
required.
Practically all the questions can be
answered by plain Yes or No, and
little difficulty should be experienced
in filling out the questionable. All
that Is desired at this time is to OBJ
tain record of the exact condition
of all boiler plants so that recommen-
dations as to improvements which
should be made to increase efficiency
can be made.

THE COUNTY FAIR

You are planning on attending the
county fair, OF course. Furthermore,
you are going to exhibit something
there, are you not? Think it over,
then act.
The value of the fair will depend
largely upon the response of the
farmers in the county. Committees
can offer prizes, plan entertainment,
arrange details OF the activities OF
the week; but these will mean nothing
to the county unless the farmers see
to 1t that exhibits OF merit are on dis
play.
The day for questioning the value
OF such enterprises is past. Even the
argument that all such affairs should
be eliminated during the period OF the
war is untenable. Never were efforts
TO improve quality and increase guam
| tity OF food products more strenuously
exerted than now, when war has ere
ated such unprecedented demands for
all kinds OF farm products.
If the farmer is to perform his full
patriotic duty he will look over the
fruits OF his years labor, choose all
that seems to him superior, and pre-
pare that for exhibit at the county
fair, September IL, Is. and 10. Farm
ers sometimes say, mo, I'm not going
to take anything to the fair this year.
It's too much trouble; the prizes are
not enough to pay for the time and
work"
No, that is not the purpose OF the
prizes. Indeed, at many OF the fairs
OF the kind, no cash prizes are offer
ed Ribbons 10 indicate degree OF ex-
oellence are bestowed instead. These
show all visitors what is the really
as to where they can secure the best
seed for grain or vegetables, what var
tiles have given most satisfactory re-
suits. where the finest animals can
be found for building up their herds
and flocks.
Farmers, take the Judging tables
found in the printed premium lists
that have been distributed. Judge your
own stock or grain; and II you have
anything that measures up well TO the
standard OF excellence give your nei-
ghbor the benefit OF your experience
by taking that superior article, be IL
vegetable. grain, foul. or animal, TO
the fair.
You will find others there with
which to stand II in comparison. There
you will have opportunity to measure
your success In any line. Owners OF
other exhibits will be on hand, and by
interchange OF knowledge, methods
and experiences, you can be mutually
helpful. In this way you will not
only be able to improve your own
products another year, but will there
by increase your own profits and add
TO your usefulness as citizen.
DO you want TO aid In everypossible
way to win this war? Then seize this
opportunity. Study your gardens
your fields, your flocks. Bring In the
best you have and by so doing help

Clever Work OF One
i Rural Check Artist

A check artist has been operating
here and no one knew about it. Now
It may be too late for he has fled.
This is the way of it:
A farmer some miles in the country
hired a man from the Twin Cities.
and when the time for reckoning
came, paid him by check the amount
due, $45. which was cashed at a local
bank.
Later his farmer received a state
ment from the bank hat his account
was overdrawn, n when the &C
counts were compared a strange, and
unauthorized check for $164 made its
appearance, which is supposed to &C
count for the fverdraft The sigma
ture on the bogus check is beautifully
executed, and it would take an expert,
it is said, to distinguish the bogus
from the genuine, but the body of the
check is poorly lone.
Recovery through the parents of the
hired man who live near st. Paul and
Minneapolis will be demanded by the
defrauded man.
