Ties of greater Berlin came to n stand
still when the surface cars and sub

crowds In all the principal streets

Telephone service in Berlin stopped
early in the evening. The big cnf6s
and restaurants closed early, fearing

called by the Berlin Spartacans in

BIG FORTUNES ARE
!. LESS, SAYS GOVT.
United States Government Report
Shows That Big Fortunes Are :,
Fewer in Number

One of the favorite copies for So
cialist speakers and newspapers is
the growing number of millionaires
in the United States.
The Socialist has to dwell on this
in order to make a case.
Their favorite expression this sum-
mer is to announce that "81 900 mil
lionaires" were made in America
during the war.
But here comes the United States
government with report of income
tax statistics which shows that up to
the end of the year 1917 there not
only had been no increase in big in
comes in the United States, but that
million dollar incomes had shown an
actual falling off of 65 over that Of
previous years.
The United States government says
that there were 2O6 persons in the
United States previous to 1915 who
had an annual income of a million
dollars and that in 1917 the number
of such incomes had fallen to 141, or
a net loss of 65.
Remember this is a report of the
United States government as an
nounced and published in Washing
ton October 7th.
The report shows a remarkable in
crease in the number of incomes un-
der $4,000 per year. There were
only 315 persons in the entire Un-
70 hn
tween $500,000 and million dollars
a year and only 141 in tn entire I'm
tied States whose income was above
a million dollars. =.....
The government report shows that
while there has been an immense
tied States the past few years, the
wealth has been very generally dis
tributed, and the people in all classes
of life have profited thereby. A few
have profited unduly, without ques-
ton, but the report as given out by
is exaggerated, as are all reports CIV
en- out by such people. The govern
ment income tax and excess profits
tax as a matter Of fact takes most
Of mans income over certain large
amounts anyway, so that IL during

Stubborn Bull Defies Train

Candy News.-An innocent look
ing, but stubborn bull caused the loss
of more than $4,000 worth of pro-
perty, his own death and almost the
lives of two men, when he refused to
give right-of-way to a way freight
train near Altamont, S. D., Friday
With lowered head and thundered
believing he .defiantly stood his
ground before the oncoming train, for
a minute then he found himself
roughly bolted into space by the un-
yielding unsympathetic freight en-
gine and the next minute he was a
mangled beef, killed almost instantly.
The impact with the bull, however,
was sufficient to ditch the engine and
five freight cars which rolled down
the embankment and tied up traffic
for several hours.
The engineer and fireman, how
ever, fortunately escaped without
serious injury to themselves.
The wrecking crew and train went
through Candy Friday to the scene
and returned the next day with the
battered engine enroute to Tracy for
repairs. .r

RED CROSS CARNIVAL
PROVED BIG SUCCESS
Record Breaking Crowd Enjoyed
Different Features of Enter
tainment

What was considered the largest
crowd ever assembled in the High
School building at one time, gath
cred there last Friday evening to
take in the big Red Cross Carnival.
On account of the weather the street
parade was called off, but this did
not detract from the evenings fun or
attendance.
The total receipts of the evening
were $4,000. The expenses were
$34.70, leaving a balance of $178.3O.
Of this amount $110 will go to the
Junior Red Cross organization as the
school quota This is at the rate of
25c for each pupil enorlled. The bal
of $68 will be used to purchase a
good quality of silk flags to be put
in the different grade rooms.
Everybody present at the carnival
had a big time. There we're three
entertainments in the high school
auditorium and in the basement was
a pike with booths of various kinds.
Pupils of the different grades put
on the programs and an orchestra of
local talent furnished music. A
quartette from the agricultural
school also sang several selections.

browns in Jar of Water

Wadena Journal.-The three-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Horn, of Oak Valley township,
drowned in jar of water last Satur-
day afternoon when she fell head
foremost into fifteen gallon jar con-
tanning about two inches of water.
She held cup fast in her little hand
when found and the presumption is
that she endeavored to dip some
water, lost her balance, and fell in,
face down in such a way hat she
could not extricate herself. The dis
tracted parents are unable to account
for the accident and the first intim-
alton they had of anything wrong
was when they found the little tot
dead in the jar.
