Musical Playlet at Chautauqua

The Vawter Chautauqua System
has announced that a musical play
let will be one of the pleasing fea-
lures of this summers chautauqua
program. The playlet is a Partisan
production, 1.-THE Doll" and it will
be presented as part of the program
to be given by the Oxford operate
company.
The scenes of "The Doll' are laid
in the shop of an old Dutch toy-mak-
er. The toy-maker, superstitious
old codger, is making life-sized doll
which he proposes to bring to life
with the aid Of a magic book. He is
making the doll as wife for his
son on the theory that the only way
to get a perfect wife is to make one
to order. He is disappointed in this,
however, as the disposition of the
doll-wife turns out to be far from

ideal. 1t is said to be humorous in
the extreme and the music of the
play is declared to be especially
charming. Special scenery is car
ried by the Oxford company and the
setting is said to be most realistic.
Managers Of the Vawter Chautau-
qua System declare that the Oxford
operate company is the finest must
cal organization ever presented on
their chautauqua programs.
An idea of the quality of this COM
pany may be gained from the know
ledge that Stella Sebastian Ogden,
soprano of the Oxfords, was for two
seasons the understudy for Alice
Nelson.

Ice Cream Cones Taxed

The Tribune received last week
from the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue the following regarding the
new tax:
The law provides that the tax
shall be levied upon the sale of "soft
drinks, ice cream, ice cream sodas,
sundaes, or other similar articles of
food or drink, when sold
for consumption in or in
proximity to such place of business"
This provision is interpreted to mean
that when any Of the specified arti-
cles are sold in such containers or
under such conditions as to indicate
that they would ordinarily be con-
sumed in or in proximity to the
place of business they are taxable.
Ice cream sold in cones is an indi-
cation that it usually would be con-
sumed at or in proximity to the prem
Uses the fact that the purchaser does
not so consume it but carries it away
does not render it free from tax.
When ice cream, soft drinks, or sim
liar articles of food or drink are sold
to be carried away for consumption
at a place not in proximity to the
place of business, such ice cream,
food or drink being placed in con-
tanners of a kind ordinarily used to
so convey the articles indicated, they
are not taxable.

NEW LAW COVERING
COUNTY FARM BUREAUS
State Now Provides $1,000 Year to
Help Maintain County
Agents

"A DILL p1ON1O4A LII LII PA w ~ 49,
ancing and administration of the
farm bureau movement in Minnesota
passed both houses of the legislature
unanimously April %. Two days
later the bill was signed by the gov
ernOr. The bill repeats chapter 376,
the old county agent law and pro-
vides in lieu thereof for county CO.
operative extension work in aGri-
culture and home economies. This
may be understood as meaning that
in the future the farm bureaus will
be expected to address themselves to
the needs of the entire farm family
and not primarily to the needs of the
farmer alone.
A farm bureau organization is to
be formed in each county which must
be incorporated under state laws to
receive state aid. Each county must
have at least one hundred members
in good standing and raise annually
a fund Of 5000 to be used in main
tanning the farm bureau Organiza-
ton. When the requirements rela-
tive to the organization of farm
bureau organization are met, the
Board of County Commissioners of
any county in Minnesota is author
lied to appropriate annually at least
$1,000 and may appropriate annually
not to exceed $4,000 for the mainten-
ance, support and expenses of county
cooperative extension work in agri-
Soc, IL
son may be employed as agent in
any county until such person is in
terviewed and recommended for ap-
pointment by the duly constituted
officers Of the farm bureau organiza-
ton or their accredited representa-
tives.
All funds which are used in any
county must have the approval of the
duly constituted officers of the farm
bureau or their accredited represent
atives before orders for payment are
issued by the Dean of the Department
of Agriculture. Under this Act pro-
vision is made by the legislature
whereby $1,000 will be made avail
able to each of the eighty-six coun-
ties in Minnesota for each Of the en-
suing two years beginning July 1
1919.
The farm bureau organization OF
Stevens county now has over SOC
members and farmers are joining
each day. Plenty of money is avail
able in this county to maintain the
o+Iy mr.
without a doubt plans will be made
to have county agent permanent!
after this year goes by. During tn
war the federal government apprO
priated $500 year to each count.
and in Stevens county the count,
commissioners appropriated anothe
$1,000, which with the money from
memberships made a sufficient sun
to maintain the county agent. Fror
now on the state will appropriat
$1,000, this year the commissioner
have appropriated $1,000 and tn
money taken in from membership
to the farm bureau will bring tn
amount up to enough to pay all e7
penses for the coming year. AboU
$500 is also expected from the fec
era1 government from differen
sources.
In Grant county the commissioner
would not appropriate any none
for the maintenance of a count
agent and beginning July first tia
county will be without an agricu
tural man.
Following is the financial state
ment of the Stevens County Far
Bureau for the year ending Marc
l, 1919.
Morris tribune., 1919-05-16
Balance on hand

The last session of Congress cut,
down the war emergency fund so
that Stevens county will receive ap-
proximately $4,000 this year in
stead of $18OO.OO. One of the last
things voted by the Minnesota leg
islature was that counties raising
100000 local funds may receive
100000 state aid. Therefore the
funds available for the coming year
including an estimate of $950.OO for
membership dues and $4,000 the
amount on hand at the beginning Of
the year, is S367O.0O.
