In order to clear away the misun- |rstandinS uS to what constitutes bend dcncy, in connection with the |ditional exemption granted income k payers, Collector of Internal Rev |ue James J. Walsh today gave out Re following statement.
 ['.For 1919 a taxpayer may be al- kved Il credit of S2OO for each per- h for whom he is the chief support. Ilt it must be rem embered that he &lf claim this additional exemption | ly with respect to children seven sen years of age or younger and per |as mentally defective, cripples, and |rsons old enough to be without estion physically incapacitated for If support.
 | If the taxpayer contributes to the |pport of some relative or other
 rson who is over seventeen years
 age in fair health, and still ac-
 c. he cannot be allowed the addl- pnal s200 even if he is furnishing

Early Threshing Show
ing Crop Average
NearS 13 Bushels
LITTLE COMING IN
Farmers Will Hold
Bulk OF Crop For
Top Price

Ramsey county's wheat yield will
exceed predictions made a few weeks
ago in point of production per acre.
This conclusion was reached follow
ing a survey of the situation thru far
mers already completing threshing
and thru local elevators. Many in
stances of yields as high as 20 BUSH
els to the acre are reported definitely
with as many more running from II
to 18. C. w. Anderson reported one
entire quarter threshed with an av-
erage of 18 1-2 bushels to the acre.
Practically all wheat so far sold or
examined indicates Number / North
ern grade.
Little wheat is, however, being
hauled to market-presumably enough
to, pay off harvest and threshing help
only. Most farmers are apparently
intent on holding the crop for q re-
turn to prices nearer the three dol
lar bushel notch then two as now
prevailing.
. An almost concerted action appears
manifest on the "crop holding" situa-
tion if opinions expressed here are to
be a criterion of conditions. stThree
dollars or Ill hold my wheat" seems
TO, be general expression. 'Wheat
has got TO 60 back up again to let ~
out with any profit" one farmer said,

distance from the residence when the
| fire occurred.
The funeral was held in Olga

Fargo, N. DETECTION machinery
to permit the women to vote in North
Dakota is already available, and no
extra legislative session is necessary
for women, according to William Lam

In North Dakota the effect of suf-
frage for women is being considered
in the light of it's possible effect on the
Nonpartisan league movement. For
the Office Of superintendent of public
instruction, on which women have had
the right to vote, the anti league can
didate has defeated the leagu ecan-
didate in the last two elections. Poll
ticians opposed to the Nonpartisan
league cite this as evidencing the pos
sible trend of women voters when they
go to the polls in November to vote
on the entire group of elected official9

PRINTERS TO
SCHOOL WORKERS
Fargo High To Be Used
To Hold Classes
In Art

At the annual convention of the
North Dakota Press association fol-
lowing a discussion on the matter of
the shortage of printers, the fact
developed that no new printers were
being turned out.
A resolution was passed asking that
the state board of administration ar
range in one of more of the state edu-
cational institutions to conduct schools
for printers.
The Fargo school board has antici-
pated this action. Installation of a
printing course in the Fargo high
school, to give elementary training in
the printing trade, is to be a new fea-
ture of the Fargo high school work
this fall, and marks a step which first
class high schools all over the coun-
try are taking. Equipment for use in
the new course has been ordered.
A conference was held early last
week between Arthur Damer, superin-
tendent of the Fargo public schools
and j. W. Schanuach, representing
the Typographical union, and J. A
Pierce, representing the Typothet.:;@
Of Fargo, for the purpose Of discus
sing the nature of the work offered.
Fargo members of the allied print
ing industry are solidly behind the new
course, and are endeavoring to coop
crate with Mr.. Deamer to the end that
the work given may be Of a strictly
practical nature.

back salary as Townley's representa-
tive in the famous "Sisal trust" J..
w. Brinton, organizer of Nonpartisan
league newspapers and former right
hand bower of Townley and who broke
away from the league when Waters
was forced out Of the ring, is under
arrest charged with criminal libel.
Waters charges, if substantiated, will
throw peculiar color on Townley's 8

cause reopening of the case.
In the Waters case, the former head
of North Dakota's state bank, asserts
$4,000 is due for salary looking after
interests of the league president which
Townley claimed heretofore he did
not hold. In the meantime, state
nent is issued showing the property
known as the United States Sisal COM
