Tom Thompson returned from
the Valley Sunday with a fine
young gray three-year old colt
to replace the mare recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Hackett. Mr..
Thompson is well pleased with
his new horse altho he Is not so
popular with the local black
smith, mighty man is he" for
before he could shoe the bare
foot boy he had to take him out
side and string him M to a tele-
phone pole. Even that didn't
spoil the big smile-alls well thI
ends well.

REGISTERED sHORTHORN SALE
First Annual Sale by the Halvorson
Sh0rthorn Farms Will be Held in
MinOt Saturday, October IL

The Halvorson Shorthorn Stock
Farms will hold their first annual
stock sale at the Roth & Linton barns
in this city on Saturday, October IL.
The Halvorson farms have been noted
for years as breeders of some Of the
finest Shorthorns produced in North
Dakota and this sale will undoubtedly
attract many buyers from all sections
of the state as we'll as many from ad-
joining states. The Shorthorns bred
at the Halvorson ranch are what are
known as the dual purpose type, prin-
cipally but many Of the specimens Of
fered will include animals of the beef
type as well. Competent judges of
the merits of pure bred registered
Shorthorn stock pronounce the Hal
vorson herd the finest in the west.
Competent auctioneers will be in at
tendance and every facility offered
buyers to inspect prospective pur-
chases and arrange terms. Dairy
men and stockmen thruout this sec
ton should make it a point to attend
as it will be matter of regret to
have stock of this quality leave the
state. Statistics show that the dairy
Industry in this section has grown by
leaps and bounds during the past four
years and this fact alone no doubt ac-
counts for the fact that western North
Dakota has held it's own despite the
poor crops and other draw backs ex-
perienced.

Federal inspectors are conducting

TAX COMMISSIONS HEARING
-,.~- FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
H. H. Steele, Member of Commission
Arrived-MOre Than $100, DOC, 900
Added Under New Law

The Tax Commission is holding
hearings at the county seat, in all the
counties of the state, upon the assess
ment of money and credits. A field
agent has been employed who has
made investigations in each Of the
counties, and upon information secur-
ed by him, parties who are believed to
have moneys and credits which were
not returned for assessment are Pc
ing notified to appear before the Tax
Commission in the county where they
reside.
The object on the part Of the Tax
Commission in taking this action is
to effectively put into operation new
money and credit law, which was pass
ed by the last session of the legisla-.
ture. This law Classics moneys and
credits, taking it out from under an
assessment heretofore made upon the
same basis as other property, and as
sessing it at the fiat rate OF three
mills on the dollar. Under the OLD
law moneys and credits were assessed
the same as real-estate and personal
property, under which if money and
credits were returned in many dis
tricts, the tax would amount to con-
fiscation of the property, as the
amount of tax would, in many in
stances, be greater than the income
received from the property.
Under the old law it became the
habitual custom, of taxpayers to eth
err fail or refuse to list this class OF
property, but under the new law the
rate of tax being so low there is no
reason why every taxpayer should not
make full return.
1t is considered that the action TAX
en- by the Tax Commission will have
the moral effect of securing full list
ment of all property which heretofore
escaped it's share Of the cost OF gov
eminent.
In the 1917 assessment but $2,0OO,-
10000 was returned by the taxpayers
of the state on moneys and credits,
while in 1918 under the new law more
than hundred millions have been
added to this amount.

The War in a Nut Shell.

The Allies have made wonderful
strides during the past week on all
fronts.
Bulgaria has sued for peace and is
now out of the war for good. An
armlstice has been declared with Bull
garia and that country is moving it's
troops back to within its own borders.
Bulgaria will accept terms of peace
imposed by the Allies, to be made
known at the final settlement of the
war. Bulgaria is the first of Ger
many's allies to lay down arms. This
is very important Allied victory,
for this cuts Germany off from Tur-
key, and in view of the recent Allied
successes in that country, it is ex-
pected that Turkey also will sue for
peace within short time. The AL
lies will now have an opportunity to
place an iron band around Germany
and Austria, and one can expect
something to be doing with Austria
within short time
Italy has remained quiet but it is
believed that Foch will soon begin a
great Italian offensive.
The Hindenburg line is crumbling
in the west. St. Quentin has fallen
and the Allies have taken Cambria
The Belgians have won great vic
tory. Germany is preparing to evac-
uate France. The Germans are re-
moving their big guns from the Bel
gian coast. Germans have evacuated
Lens and Armentieres, the keys to
the great coal fields in France.
Since July the Allies have taken
100000 prisoners and 1860 guns, to
say nothing of the great number of
the enemy who have been slaughtered.
Foch has thrown in his reserves
and it looks like he is trying to end
the war before winter. Present events
have tendency to give the Kaiser
sleepless nights.
