throughout the state of North Da:
kota, in view of the important part
they can play in the national war
program and in view of the need Of
clean and helpful recreation and en-
tertainment for our people.
And, hereby tender to President
Wilson, Herbert Hoover and the heads
of all other governmental agencies,
the good offices Of our fairs, by so
arranging our exhibits as ito best en-
phasize the program Of food produc-
ton and conservation as set forth in
Mr.. Hoover's campaign, and further
that we will leave no stone unturned
and no opportunity unused to make
our fairs the greatest possible aid to
the work of. encouraging the pur-
chase of Liberty bonds, War Savings
and Thrift Stamps, to the noble work
being done and possible to be done
by the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A., K. of c.
and other kindred agencies, to the
cause of patriotic educational address,
es and programs and to the task of
discouraging all unnecessary larm
and home labor and production; and
that we give this aid unselfshly, and
when necessary, with sacrifice gladly
and rejoicingly made, to the end that
our fairs may play their full share in
the defense Of democracy and those
ideals which we, as Americans, love
most.

Association Of Fairs
Plans for 1918 Circuit

Secretary Guy Martin of the Barnes
County Fair Association and w. J.
Westergaard represented the local.
fair interests at the meeting of the
Association of County Fairs held
Wednesday Of last week in Fargo at
which Representatives of 16 fairs were
present. The meeting was called to
order by President Groom of Langdon.
j. P. Hardy, secretary Of the Fargo
Commercial club, gave the address OF
welcome, which was responded to by
President Groom.
An interesting talk on publicity for
county fairs was delivered by the sec
rotary of the St. Cloud, Mimi, fair and
offered suggestions that can probably
be used to good advantage here this
summer. Another speaker told
briefly Of the benefit derived from the
meetings of the association by be-
ginner in the fair game.
At the afternoon session, Miss
Louise Fitzgerald of the extension
department of the Agricultural col
lege discussed the Boys and Girls
club work in relation to the county
fairs. Miss Fitzgerald is an inter,
esting and enthusiastic speaker and
offered many valuable suggestions,
among them the advisability OF re-
vising the premium lists to comply
with present war conditions. She
made the offer that if the associa-
tions would send in copies of last
years premium lists the department.
with which she is connected would
revise them and supply suggestive
list to take their place.
Mr.. Wilde, an assistant publicity
agent of the food department., spoke
somewhat briefly along the same lines:
He conveyed the idea that the national
government and the food department
we're very anxious for the fairs to 60
on as usual this year. and that Mr..
Hoover believed that the fairs were
able to do a great work for the coun-
try in educating the people along the
lines of production and conservation
Of foods. Also that the amusement
and recreation features should be kept
up as usual to keep the spirits OF our
people up. and help to prevent. a NOR
bid and depressed state of mind.
Considerable discussion followed
the different speeches, in which most
of the delegates Joined. Don Moore
Of Grand Forks, read a paper which
he had read before at the meeting OF
state fair managers and followed it
bv a brief talk on the patriotic work
which the fairs and fair officials ought
to do and were able to do in support
of the government at this time.
After the banquet in the evening
there was a meeting of the North d.
kota and Minnesota racing circuit: D.

Harmon Story Nailed
As Wild Fabrication

Bismarck Tribune: Another wild
story which had been disturbing Bis
marck friends Of Lloyd Harmon for
several days was nailed last night
wien Mrs. Joseph Schafer of Mandan,
Lloyd's sister, advised that the origin
of the report that the popular capital
city musician had lost both hands on
the French front was found in a let
ter received by her few days ago in
which Lloyd after telling in charac-
teristic fashion of the "big time en-
gagements" he is playing in France,
wound up by saying IF don't lose
both my hands before l get home I'll
be in shape to play with some of the
best orchestras back there"
The letter came to Mrs. T. H. Har-
mon, Lloyd Harmon's mother, in
Mandan, and was opened by her
daughter before being quoted to Mrs.
Harmon, now in Los Angeles. Joseph
Schaffer quoted Harmon's reference to
his prospects for playing in big COM
pany over here on his return, IF he
doesn't lose both of his hands," and
from that slim foundation gossip has
built up a fabrication which has
Lloyd Harmon lying in base hospi-
tai in France with an arm torn off
while another tale has him with both
hands frozen off, and a helpless Grip
pie.
Hundreds of Harmon's friends have
heard these stories and have worried
about them. Harmon's name has new
er appeared in any casualty list,
which The Tribune closely scrutinizes
every day; there hasn't, so far as any
one can learn, been the very slight
est foundation in fact for these wild
rumors, but they have been sped from
mouth to mouth, growing as they
flew and one more imaginary horror
has been added to the war.

remainder of the tax bill.
 As an evidence of the inducements to thrift in matrimony, the returns ol married men, making due deduction for joint returns ot husband ana wife, indicated their wealth at more than five times that of single men, as shown by their returns, the former bearing corresponding buden of the tax except fo exemption in the $3,OOO tO S4,0O0 class, amounting to about Q per cent of their total income re ported.
 Although for the country at large the returns of single men were double those oi single women, the six New England states were a conSpicious exception to the rule. The total in- come reported by single men in that section exceeded by barely 15 per cent the total income by single women, bearing testimony either to the su- gerior independence and earning ca
 acity of tn New England women or ) a reluctance to share inherited riches in matrimony The District of Columbia and Hawaii were also con-
 piciouS in that respect, showing bout equal returns for single mer and women.
 A striking cCcentrlcity in the repOr, ., the return oI the skilled and un- .Nild ,aUor class of twcnty-two in comes above the $5O,O0O mark, five O. Aem being above $IOO,OOO. Two hun ,red and eighty labor returns were above Sl0,0O0.
 Four commercial travellers showed Incomes of over Sl0O,OOO, as did two SJIoonkeeperS, one professional sportS
 man, eighteen hotel propuetorS ana JNenty-two insurance agents Actors -.ngcrS and musicians to the number ,f yI4 showed total income of $ll,- .2S,OO0, a net average of over 12,OOO, and a possibility to stimulate tho ,ther 170,000 not making returns Five of these incomes were over $50, O00 In the class of authors, editors and reporters there were sixteen in comes of better than Sl0O,000, and two above $50O,OOO. Twelve ministers of the gospel showed incomes of more than $50,O00
 The legal profession earned the greatest total incomes among profes- SionS, although the average incomes among engineers were higher
 Of the 23,000 manufacturers in the country in 1916 one in every ten made returns, paying a total of l2 per cent of the tax; of the merchants, one in ton made returns; paying 12.5 per

cent of the tax; of commission brok CTS in all fields, one in five, paying s per cent; real estate brokers, one in four, paying ,0S3 per cent lawyers and judges one in five, paying 20 per cent; mine owners and operators, one in six, paying per cent. One farmer in about every four hundred made returns, paying an aggregate ot per cent of the tax; one ,eacher in every two hundred, one clergyman in about every seventy-five,
 The three states reporting the greatest incomes were, in the order of their returns New York, Pennsyl- vania and Illinoise. New York, with nearly two billions, reported almost a third of the total returns. This, how ever, is not an accurate indication of the wealth of a state, for persons file returns wherever they reside, regard less of where their investments or properties are. It is fairly accurate indication. however, of where that much income is spent.
 The net personal income reported in 1916 totaled S6,300,000,000, an in crease of $2,4OOOOO,OOO over 1913, or about 40 per cent.
 Corporate returns for 1916 showed a total net income of $S,700, 1000, ,OOO, an increase of more than three bil- lions over 1915, and five billions over 1914, or more than 100 per cent. O: the 24l.OOO corporations reporting, 10 per cent shwed no net earnings, which, however, was lower percent lge than in proceeding years.
 Of the S172 OOO,OOO corporate tax collected 17.5 per cent of it was .rawn from public utilities, 13 per
 ent from iron and steel production, md 9 per cent from mineral opera- lions. The remainder came largely from miscellaneous manufacturing in- iustries, banking and insurance com ,anies and merchandising companies.
