THE CHRONICLE ON TAXATION

The Cavalier Chronicle which was
bought to expound Townleyism in this
county, devoted two columns last week
10 defend the Nonpartisan League in it's
administration of the states affairs and
the increase Of taxes.
In explaining why farm IN Crystal
tswnship is taxed this year s54.95 as
against sl6.69 last year, the editor jug
eles with figures so be shows up that the
same farmer saves S17O4 on quarter
section. 1t takes Mathematician to do
this kind of figuring and the editor Of
the Chronicle surely is one.
The Chronicle shows that the state
tax on this same quarter section is S17.85
this year as against 81 95 last year. But
he says that it cost much more to take
care of the inmates of the Insane Asylum.
Feeble Minded Institute, etc. this year
than 1t did last year. Then he compares
the prices of shoes and other articles OF
wearing apparel for these two years
which is wonderful increase, and other
things in proportion. We agree with
the writer that the expenses of running
these institutions have more than doubl
cd since the Townley politicians took
sharge of the state affairs. The Office
holders have increased many fold as
have the salaries of many. There are
men on the state pay roll now that re-
seive $4,000 year which Is more than
the governor received in the past. He
forgets to mention that many Office hold
srs are politicians and many of the Offices
seem to have been created to give the
faithful ones job at the expense of the
taxpayers.
Gong back to expenses of maintain
ing the public institutions of the state,
the editor of the Chronicle forget to
mention the expenses of taking care of
the inmates comes out of the county
fsnds of each county and not the state
tax. Every four months the county
commissioners are billed by the manage.
nent of these institutions for the NAM
tsinance OF the inmates Of the county
from which they came. At the present
time Pembina county pays direct to the
board of the insane asylum t24.00 per
month for each patient from here. So
much fol-. the increase for the price of
shoes. etc. for the inmates. The Chron-
icle publishes these figures in the COM
nissioners proceedings and he should
know better then try to mlslead the pub
lilo IN such manner.
The fact of the matter is this state
Ands itself IN serious plight at the
present time. The treasury IS empty
and there are over four hundred thous-
and dollars OF bills unpaid and the ex.
penses Of running the affairs of the state
roll up higher and higher every month.
The editor of the Chronicle points
with pride to the successful manage
nens Of the -four mill at Drake taken
over by the state, and he says that it is
making money for the state. He IL
sither grossly mlsinforlned or be is telling

Prejudiced Republicans whose
views are warped and
bent, to kill the precious cove
cant they really seem intent.
And our own dear Hiram John
son, with a pompous, lordly air,
is trailing President Wilson
like a cootie trails a bear.
The cootie is a little beast, Pc
culiar to the trench, whose only
object seems to be to try to raise
a stencil. He attacked the U. S.

fighting hard, and seemed to be
a product of the kaiser's own

to explain about the covenant to
you, and you and me, our own
bright Hiram Johnson took a
bracer of hot air-and then be-
gan to trail him like the cootie

Right after you, my dear
Castor, " is Hiram's attitude, as
he speaks about our President,

boasted in his rancous way, just
like a braying ass, Chicago is a

And every word that Hiram

SERIOUS DISEASE OF HORSES

RIGHT KIND OF CORN

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Asriculture.)
The feeding worth and palatabflity
Of good silage depends on the quality
Of the corn and the period of maturity
at which it is cut. Where the corn is
cut when 1t is immature, not well
glazed and dented. and still in its
juvenile stage, it makes washy, low
quality, acid-forming silage which II
likely to sour On the other hand, corn
harvested when it is well dented and
at the proper degree of ripeness for
best use as silage, gives winter feed
which is one Of the best producers Of
milk and meat. Corn should be al
lowed to pass well through the milk
stage and become thoroughly dented
before being sliced. Investigations
have demonstrated that it Is much
preferable, for silage Of the best quail
ity. to have the corn a little overripe
rather than underripe.
In some sections farmers, and par
ticularly dairymen, are accustomed to
ensile combination crops, using mix
lures Of soy beans and corn, cowpeas
and corn, sorghum and corn, or a COM
bination of these three for canning pur-
poses. As general proposition. where
other branches of animal husbandry in
addition to dairying are taken into con-
sideration. corn or some other coarse
forage is most desirable for ensilags
purposes. Acre yield is the end sought,
the chief objection to the valuable pro-
tein forages such as cowpeas, soy
beans and the like being that they are
low yielders better adapted for hay
than silage. Dairy farmers who re-
Quire an abundance Of succulent silage
Of q rather balanced composition highly
prise the legu.ninous crops mentioned
as supplements to corn and usually
realize an adequate return from the
sale Of their milk to allow them to
produce these crops at profit.

DEATH LAID TO EVIL SPIRITS
eanoalas Tribe In Africa Refuses -
Believe That Mortal Disse-
luton 10 Certain.

Strange rites and ceremonies still
abound in Africa. Most Of these have
their origin In superstitions instigated
by the medicine men or magicians Of
q tribe for their own betterment, while
many are adopted as customs Of q
tribe.
Foremost Of the funeral "celebra-
tons" in Africa Is that Of a tribe
called Bansalas, near the Quango river.
Here the deceased Is asked to state
the cause Of his death. and Is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death Of an African In these
sections Is never announced, and. only
on inquiry is anyone told Of the death
Of a tribe member. When the death
is generally known the relatives come
and fall into state Of excitement and
wailings, with frequent Interruptions
Of hilarious nature. Drums and mus
ical instruments are assembled and
the revelry is continued until after
sunrise. This ceremony occupies two
days. The body Is brought out during
these ceremonies and fastened in
sitting posture in chair and placed
at the door OF his hut. The idea of the
natives is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.
Only the mother and wife Of the de-
ceased show signs of grief. After the
celebrations" the deceased is put un-
der rigid examination as to what or
who caused his death. Naturally, he
Is unable to answer, and the crowd
abuses him, demanding an answer.
At last 1t Is agreed that he was killed
through the aid Of evil spirits. The
body Is then taken to the cemetery.
The inhabitants do not believe that
everyone must die, that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

System 10 Guessing.
The whole matter is much Of q guess,
as everybody admits. But there is a
good deal Of system, not to say science,
in good guessing. The man. who
guesses how many beans are contained

nearly as he car how many beans fill
a cubic inch of s,ace and then he COM
putes the cubic contents Of a half-gal.
Ion jar. With the variation in sizes Of
beans, thickness Of glass and other
things, 1t is still enough of guess, but
the guesser is not going it absolutely
blind. The farmer whose profits for
the year depend largely on how he
comes out on the cattle he feeds should
be at least as systematic a guesser as
the fellow who tales a gamble on q

st. Helena, the island where Napo-

OF exile and where he died in 1921, has
one Of the most peculiar landscapes
in the world. and by reason Of the
great variety Of trees and plants that
grow there.
For many years the island was q
sort Of ocean crossroads where all
ships plying between Europe and the
East stopped for supplies. 1t waseun-
Inhabited when discovered and most
Of Its population is made up Of the de-
scendants of persons who deserted
from passing vessels. European, Afri
can and Asiatic peoples are all repre-
sented.
Nearly all Of these settlers of many
races and nationalities tried to intro
duce into the island plants and trees
from their home countries. as people
are wont to do the world over. Some
OF these failed to survive, but a sur
prising variety of crops and trees
throve in the semi-tropical climate and
rich sell Of the little island. As a re-
suit the English oak tree today grows
beside bananas and palms. Raising
dates is an industry Of the valleys,
while Scotch pines grow on the up
lands, and some of the level land IL
