UNITED STATES after
! TAX DODGERS.
GOVERNMENT WILL PUNISH ALL
ATTEMPTS TO EVADE LAW IF
DISCOVERED.

Fargo, Feb. 19.-No sympathy is
going to be wasted in North Dakota
on the fellow who deliberately tries
to evade payment Of government tax,
according to q statement made today
by Col. NJ "A. Hildreth, Of Fargo, U.
S. district attorney.
"Any person deliberately conceal
my tax liability, or falsifying a re-
turn in order to reduce or evade any
internal revenue tax, or who deliber-
;ately abets such concealment or fraud,
finds arrayed against him the entire
strength of this bureau pressing for
the full civil and criminal penalties.
That is the attitude toward the tax
.dodper expressed in one sentence.
Whether he is moonshiner, steal
thy trafficker in habit forming drugs,
a juggler Of income figures, delin-
quent in making the sworn return the
law requires, or a revenue violator of
any other kind, the bureau is charged
with the duty of hunting him out and
.exacting the full penalty provided in
the law" said Colonel Hildreth.
"Toward the taxpayer who means
to comply with the internal revenue
law fully and honestly, the bureau
willingly extends the, helping hand
Cooperation with the taxpayer is the
watchword of the bureau"

new MOWER DEVICE

Williston, N. D., Feb. PA. o.
Ringo and Frank Wilson have just
returned from Minneapolis where
they have been for the past three
weeks having models made of now
er sickle which they have invented.
The new machine has two sickles in
stead of one ON the sickle bar and
works like pair of shears.
The inventors point out that the
difference between their machine and
the old mower is the same as the diff
difference between single and dou-
BILE cylinder engine. Machine manu-
facturers have already offered to ham
die the machine for them, either on a
royalty basis or otherwise, Mr.. Ringo
said.
The new. machine will be known as
the North Dakota Cyclone Moving

government bought with a prodigality
beyond, reason and never delivered,
and the great gas output ended in
dumpage at sea because it was real
lied too late. But two of Ford's
Eagles ever flew, so that almost the
sole exception to the general success
of American individual enterprise is
to be found in the factories Of pa

troops were transported in foreign
vessels, or foreign-built vellels op-
Grating under the American flag, and
Great Britain and France equipped
them with airplanes, guns, and part
ly with clothing.
"Where pressure of public opinion
compelled Administration reforms
and able men were eventually draft
ed to carry on war work, results at
once began. to appear, as for example,
when Charles Schwab took over the
building of. ships, Stettinius became
our quartermaster-in-fact, and Ryan
began on the airplane program. But
these reforms were adopted too late
to be of effective war service.
Comparison of successful Ameri-
can enterprise and exasperating adj
ministration failures present the most
adamning indictment of a partisan
sectional, rrow-minded,.y inefficient
bureaucracy to be found in all the
pages of history. But it has its
bright side. It. indicate that the peo.
pie themselves are there with The

which they were beguiled into sup
porting on the plea, abe kept us out

'''' ''fiS FROM FRANCE

Joe Stewart who just returned a
few days ago, has had quite an e>. !:
perience while in the service Of the U.
s. Navy, and from the way he tells
things he has seen quite few inter-
esting things while in the service. Af-
ter Joe enlisted he was sent to Brook:
lyn, N. r., where he entered the ell
ectrical class. for a period Of ". five.
months, ,andifrom there he was trans
ferred to the radio school at. Boston,
Mass, .or assJoe says, transferred TO
the Boston "Tec." From there Joe
was sent to Miami, Fla.,,. where he
studied a flying course. He then was
sent to Philadelphia and later to New
port News, and from there he sailed
on the u. S. Huron. After: twelve.
long, hard days on the deep which Joe
says was very uneventful, as it was
very hot. After they were five days
out he witnessed a real Storm but as
it didn't last long, he arrived at
Brest safe and sound. From Brest
they went to Pauillic. and it was
there that Joe saw Everett Duell, and
Ia happy meeting it was, no doubt.
Joe then transferred to Arachon, U.
is. Naval air station, where he was
permanently stationed until he re-
reived his final discharge. Joe, we
are all glad to see you back, as we are
all proud to have our best boys home
here with us-those who served for
the cause Of humanity.

LOCAL BOY WITH
HEADQUARTERS | BAND.

II Tho Minneapolis Tribune in an ar
hcle in late issue prints 4 glowing
account Of the Naval Headquarters
band Of which Ed Hall of this city is
y member. This band has won q lot
.of praise while it has been in England
and critics pronounce it an exception
ally fine organization. With the ar
ticle appears q picture Of the band,
also individual pictures of the mem-.
bers who are boys from this section
Of the country, Of which two are from
Minnesota, two from Iowa; one from
South Dakota a nd one from North
Dakota. We are reprinting a portion
of the writeup which is as follows,
"There is no mystery about the sue
cess of the musicians from naval
headquarters. Their playing CD, but
echo of Sousa. They were trained at
the Great Lakes Training station uu-
der the direction Of Lieut.. John Phil
ip Sousa. This particular band, like
scores of others, was recruited from
hundreds of newly enlisted musicians
ut the training station. e--7.'
It was. organized August 20, last.
after a period of training it was sent
to the receiving ship at Philadelphia,
playing some in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign there. From Phila-
delphia it sailed for United States
Base 10, 'Lorient, France. But to be

never destined to be the destiny or
destination Of these young musicians.
Their fame, had preceded them aero ,s
the Atlantic and reached the ears OF
Admiral Sims. z
'a. f'> Recognized by Sims. s.s. u
.. It was a characteristic of Admiral
Sims: when he heard Of the excep-
tional merit Of the Great Lakes train
ing station band headed for the naval
base 10 that he gave it recognition
by ordering it to the worlds metrop-
oils as the U. s. Naval headquarters
band that it might acquire the pres
tige which it deserved.
These boys feel q, bit cockey over
this distinction, manifest not in a con-
ceited way, but in the zest with which
they go about their work, Of "work'
they call it. The last tune Of the
third concert of a days concerting is
put over with the same punch as the
first tune Of the first concert, and the
band and orchestra are going just as
strong as they did the first time they
played for the admiral or on any 9th.

they were making history and jazzine
