PROBLEM IN TAXATION
CONFRONTS RIVERDALE
Council Finds Personal Property
Can't Be Assessed.

RIvERDALE. Nd. Oct. l4.-Taxa-
tion Is the latest knotty problem that
confronts the newly-elected town
council in Riverdale, which awoke
this morning to discover 1t has to
make some radical changes in the
existing assessments.
After assessing personal property
for taxation, along with real estate.
1t now appears that the town charter
will not permit taxation Of the for
mer form Of property. This fact was
brought out at the regular meeting
Of the mayor and town council last
Tuesday night.
r. p. Caruthers. town clerk. an
nounced that the charter specifies
distinctly only real estate Is taxable.
II. Winship Wheatley, corporation
counsel, also held the same opinion.
Elimination of personal property
from the assessable basis would re
duce the basis to about 100000. 1t
was estimated. In view OF the fact
that the tax rate has been fixed at
IL 10 cents on the 500 it looks like
the town authorities will have to en-
ploy strict economy for the rest OF
the calendar year. at the end OF
which time it Is planned to increase
the rate to % cents on the 800. the
maximum rate permitted under the
charter.

WHEAT MUST GO HIGHER.
SAYS FARM FEDERATION
Present Prices Laid to "Bear"
Propaaanda by Foreigners.

. "The world is short Of wheat; the
United States is oversold; and prices
must certainly go higher" says
statement issued by the American
Farm Bureau Federation here today.
The present low prices in the grain
markets are the result of bear propa-
ganda by traders who sold heavily in
foreign markets several months ago
when prices were high, and are now
endeavoring to fill these orders at
low figure.
Already more than one hundred and
twenty-five million bushels OF our
wheat has cleared for foreign ports,
and the most optimistic figures have
never indicated a total exportable
surplus to exceed two hundred mil
lions Of bushels.
The feeling revails that traders, par
ticularly one Of the large packing in
terests, are In an extremely delicate
position, and once the market turns
upward must make wild scramble
to get enough grain to cover their
foreign contracts.

COULDN'T TAKE HER IN CUP
"Honey" Was What the Youngster
Was After, but Not in Quite
Such a Generous Quantity.

Tommy Brown had not studied pei
manism and his brain was like sieve.
When his mother told him to take a
cup to the grocer's and get it filled
with honey he heard what she said;
but when he got to the grocer's he
forgot what he had come for.
The grocer named one article after
another in the good-natured attempt
to refresh his memory, but all to no
avail. Then he turned to his plump
wife and said:

be"
That's it; that's it !" cried the boy,

let me take her taar way, for the cup
wouldn't hold her."

SHOOTING EXPENSIVE SPORT
More Money Spent on Grand American
Handicap Than Any Other Big
Sporting Event.

1t costs money to indulge in trap

San Francisco figured out the cost of
the tournament and was surprised.
Ninety shooters participated in the
four days shooting. They shot at DO
900 targets at 3 cents each. and fred
10000 shells at cents each. while the
otl'er charges cost the club about 10
cents a shot-which means that the
tournament cost about $4,000. More
money is spent on the Grand Ameri-

Hereafter, if touchdown is made,

such distance as it thinks desirable,
