AN APPRECIATION.

In passing about this old world
in times of peace, one highly ap-
preciates courtesy and kindness,
but in these war-ridden times
when everyone seems almost too
busy to be considerate of others
this appreciation becomes doubly
keen. The writer was a recent
visitor in Bottineau and vicinity
and simply wishes to state an
onymously through the press
that for generous goodwill the
Bottineau people are hard to
beat.
And here's to hoping that
many others catch the spirit, for
it is one big lubricating factor,
50 to speak, that will assist us
in making quick work OF the bal
ance of this war.~A. l.

This can be raised by taxation

Representative Treadway of
Massachusetts,, who in private
life is owner Of a fashionable ho-
tel in the Berkshire hills, may
fairly be quoted as a spokesman
of that conservative, standpat-
old-line Republicanism which
has had so great an influence on
war legislation thus far, even
though the Democrats have
nominal control of congress.
After appearing as usual to
fall in with the popular demand
for high war profits taxes and
stiff taxation on big incomes, he
says:
II desire to further refer to
the possibility Of destroying cap
ital in tax rates. We can only
try out this problem, hoping we
have not overstepped the limit
either in dealing with individual
incomes or corporations. In one

WASHINGTON
. N NEWS J CULLINCS
CONGRESS WEAK-KN ED
ON TAXATION OF WAR
PROFITS.

Washington, D: C. Sept. 23.-
A week of debate on war finance
in the house, and a week of
more or less unimportant hear
ings on the war revenue bill be-
fore the senate committee on
finance, has prepared congress
for a brief senate discussion of
that measure. Administration
and Republican members have
indicated that the bill is as dras-
tic as they expected, and that
any attempt to put a 1OO-per
cent. tax on war profits, as sug-
gested by some of the Republi-
cans, will be defeated. Congress
does not approve a pay-as-you-
go policy, nor is it ready to en-
act a bill which would raise ev-
en- half the current cost Of the
war by taxation.
It is true that there remains
the group Of progressives in the
senate most Of them on the Re
publican side-who will try to
increase the rates of surtax on
big incomes, but their votes are
only a handful. Since the admin
istration has come around to the
demand made by this group last
summer, that 80 per cent Of the
war profits be taken, the waver-
ing members who might have
come to their assistance, are
once more satisfied with the
plans Of the majority. There
will be q progressive minority
once more, but no progressive
sweep.
What Farmers Think.
The Farmers National Com.
mittee on War Finance has is
sued a red-hot protest against
the bill, addressed to the mem
bers Of the house. It reads, II

HIGH SCHOOL TO OPEN
MONDAY, SEPT. 3OTH

Next Monday witnesses the
opening Of the Bottineau High
School for the year and although
facilities for some time will not
be of the best it is not expected
any hardship will result. All
teachers have been secured and
many of the young people will be
glad to hear that French will be
taught this year.
Through necessity the Pres
byterian church will be used and
part of the Forestry building.
The exercises on Monday will
be at the Presbyterian church
and all pupils should register
here. The school board states
that the new high school will
probably be opened about Nov.
1st.

ELEVATOR SEIZED BY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

IUUNIlL Uf DEfENOE
Because the Consolidated Ele-
vator Company of Duluth refus-
ed to work it's Idle elevator at
Wallum, Griggs county, even tho
grain was being lost thru lack
Of sufficient storage facilities,
the North Dakota Council Of De
Tense has notified that company
that it's property will be leased
by the council thru local parties
at Wallum after a careful inven-
tory is made and that a reason
able rental charge will be paid
the owners. This power the,
council has granted to it in the
act Of creating the body. The
action was taken at the recon-
mendation Of Attorney General
William LANCER.
Evidence that the Consolidat-
ed Elevator Company was trying
to force a sale on the Wallum
people is contained in the cor
respondence between the COM
pany and the state board of rail
road commissioners, who first
took steps to, acquire the use Of
the elevator at the request Of
DR.. E. F. Ladd, state food ..ad-
ministrator. The board tele-
graphed the company explaining
the congestion Of the grain col
lecting houses at Wallum and
asked that their house be leased
to the Farmers Elevator and
Mercantile Company at reason
able terms, in order that no
grain should be destroyed. To
this request the Duluth company
replied:
'eHave recently sold our ele-
vator at Davey for $4,000. I'm
derstand buyer will open at once.
We are willing to sell Wallum
at same price. If in need of
storage capacity as you say,
they should be glad to get ele-
vators at this price"
The board of railroad commits
sioners again wired the Consoli-
dated Elevator Company as fol-
lows:
I'VE did not ask if you want
ed to sell Walluni elevator. An
swer our expense yes or no. If
you will lease to farmer COM
pany."
An unqualified mo" was the
reply.
Upon learning that the Du-
luth company was unwilling to-
voluntarily assist in protecting
and saving the grain crop in the
Wallum locality, Attorney Cen
eral LANCER asked Governor
Frazier to call a special session
of the executive committee OF
the Council of Defense to con-
slider the matter. The commit
tee designated that the local
food administrator and a mem
ber Of the Council of Defense in
yentory the property to deter
mine what rental be paid the
combine and at the same time
instruct George Jacobson, Wal
lum food administrator to take
possession of the idle elevator
Immediately and open it Tor
business. ;,
Many of the same patriots
who are loudest in their denun-
ciation of the Frazier admins
tration refuse to make the
slightest financial sacrifice to
help win the war. The State
Council of Defense, however,
is determined that nothing shall
be allowed to block the govern
ment's war program even it it IS
compelled to take such drastic
action as the seizure of idle acres
and empty elevators.

Kind of House In Demand.

The last matter influencing cost Is
"marketability." To be saleable a
house must measure up to and down to
a standard. Mahogany and quartered
oak wainscoting, plate glass windows
and other similar embellishments do
not increase the selling value to any
great extent. By the time you are
ready to sell the style in these things
will have changed, and they are then
more likely to decrease than increase
the value. Be measurably conven-
tional, and comfortably normal in your
ideas. The best houses are not the
most expensive or the most peculiar.
They are almost always the expression
of type" and follow the main fea-
lures of their type, departing from the
normal only in minor ways. This Is
the kind of house that is always In
demand.

WHERE CENSOR IS NEEDED
Successful Outcome Of Allotment De-
veIopment Depends Largely on In
telligent Forethought.

The successful outcome of an al
lotment development as an asset to a
city depends largely upon the type of
neighborhood established by the real
tor in selling his property.
1t is true, however, that some prop
critics are assured of ultimate indi-
viduality before development on ac-
count of their natural location.
The average allotment, however, Is
dependent on the method of sale OF
separate lots and the restrictions i'm
posed upon them, which have an i'm
portant bearing on the ultimate up
building.
But the character Of a neighbor
hood is far from assured because OF
imposed restrictions as to price OF
house to be erected, as IS shown In
numerous cases about Cleveland.
Perhaps the most apparent reason
for a development not proving wha'
was originally intended are, first, thai
the building operations Ito set the
pace, so to speak, were not carried or
by the developer to show what was
expected, and. second the censorint
of building plans.-Cleveland Leader

MIGHT BE PUT TO GOOD USE
Propagation of Badderwort Suggested
as Means Of Diminishing Plague !.
of Mosquitoes. x

Not long ago, says the Milwaukee
Journal, Prof. w. f. Ringle, a natural
list of Pittsburg, Kan, discovered in
a Kansas creek a bladderwOrt, plant
that is usually found in more northern
streams. He took it to his laboratory
and placed it in a jar that contained
several small tadpoles, in order to
aerate the water and do away with
the necessity of changing it so often.
The tadpoles quickly began to disap-
pear in mysterious manner. An In
vestigatiOn resulted in the surprising
discovery that the small balloons on
the plant were traps and tOmbs for
the tadpoles. The plant had devoured
them If it would consume tadpoles,
there is no reason why it should not
devour "wiggle-tails," the larvae of the
mosquito, the naturalist thinks. One
way of Kidding community of mOsqui-
toes, therefore, appears to be to propa-
gate the bladderwort in pools and
streams.

GOOD IDEA THAT is SPREADING
Few Places Now In the Country That
Do Not Recognize Need OF
Identification.

Time was not so very long ago when
the thought Of civic beauty and the
recognition Of the Importance of city
Identification belonged to few peo-
pie only.
When the first of the larger cities
Of Texas set about the process Of
making beauty where only ugliness
had been before, many taxpayers OBJ
jected on the ground that it was not
wise to expend public money for such
purposes.
But that larger city persisted. A
landscape architect was employed. A
comprehensive plan for future devel-
opment was drawn up. Approprla-
lions looking far into the future were
planned. An educational campaign to
teach the people the need for beauty
was gotten under way. Today that
city is far to the front as an example
of what may be accomplished in few
years of labor intellgently applied.
Other cities followed. One by one
the centers of population fell into line
Directly the smaller cities began to
lay plans for that day when they, too
shall be large cities. Only recently
the city of Denison, urged on by pub
lic-spirted citizens, employed we'll
paid expert to make survey and lay
down a comprehensive plan Of artistic
development. And within the neX'
few months practically every Texas
city will have proved that even in the
stress of war Texas people recognize
the value of beauty and the impor
lance of the artistic in the everyday
| life of the people.-Houston Post.

Your War Garden.

Don't rob yourself of flowers even
I'm war times. There is no better anti
dote for the war horror, and there is
no reason why the vegetable garden
should not be bordered with such
plants as gladioli, dahlias, sunfiowers
and various other ANNALS. Indeed,
some of the vegetables themselves have
beautiful blossoms. The scarlet run
ner bean and the sugar pea, for ex-
ample, have beautiful flowers and
both are excellent vegetables. Old
time gardens are often bordered with
parsley, and most of the herbs when
grown in little beds are delightful to
look upon.
