1t seems from the letter which | have
lust read that Government is laying
stress on the words of the Ordinance OF
31st. December, 1907 in Section 3, IN
which is stated properties belonging to
the State and build ngs used for cnurch
purposes. seeing in these words a differ
enca between bulldogs and properties;
now the law never intended 70 dlffer
entiate according to Colonial Law,
namely: When there is a difference IN
the Danish and English text, the Danish
text of the law is to BE- recognized, same
onlv haviny been iai1 before the King
for sanction. Now in the Danish text
there is no difference. it reads IN ,ranSla-
ton properties belonging 60 the state
or such as are used for church purposes"
Here with the argument which rhe Gov
might build on in the English
text falls TO Il e ground.

regard to the property No. 50, Queen
Street, this belongs to theU. S. Govern
ment; the Treaty having transferred all
the properties belonging to the Dan
ish State to the u. s. Government, and
this being one of these consequently be-
the property OF the United states,
the Treaty only reserves to the Lutheran
Congregation the use OF same. Apart
from it being States property 1t Is used
for housing destitutes (the member read
Section 4 of the Ordinance of LIST Octo-
Der, 1902 and continuing said, this is
plain; firstly the building belongs 70 the
Government; and secondly, it is occupied
bv INDECENT persons who receive support
from poor funds; it is a charitable instl-
tuition and therefore there is no income
derived from the property; and by virtue
of law of lst October, 1902, the pro-
perty is therefore exempted from taxes.
The next is, the question OF the tax on
property No. SO, Queen Cross Street, this
is a consecrated building and is being
used exclusively for church purposes,
consequently it comes under the law
which exempts building for church pur~
poses from paying taxes and no more

ARE COMMON NOW

Airplanes no longer excite even
passing curiosity now in Sank Cen
tire. They have become a common
occurrence, almost as ordinary as the
automobile. During the past two
weeks planes made this city a
stamping ground and last Sunday,
five of them lowered over, around
and about the city and lakes. Most
everybody in Sank Centre has done
a lite airplane "joy-riding" and the
mere fact that there is an airplane
lowering over the city no longer
stirs up even passing comment.

 Heir Under Law

Fargo, N. D., March 17-The first case under North Dakota's law en acted to stablish the legitimacy Of children born out of wedlock has been completed in Cass county courts and a child so born has received it's fsther's name and been declared his legitimate heir. The law was passed by the legislature in March 1917.
 Under provisions of this act, which is said to be the first of it's kind in the country, child born out of wedlock is declared to be the child of it's natural parents, as such is entitled to support, shelter and edu> cation equally with other children born in legal marriage and is en- titled to share in any estate jointly with all other legal heirs.
 Suit to establish the natural par entage of the child, the law pro- vdes, must be instituted within a year after birth, the facts in the case to be proved as in any other legal action. This in construed as placing the burden of proof upon the plaintiff

Decline in Clover
 Culture Menaces

Washington, March 17.-Decline in clover culture by American farmers seems to have gone so far as tn threaten to be serious and for the good of the nations corn and wheat crops it is time to get the land back into clover, the department of agri- culture advises. Productiveness oi land under corn and wheat decreases most rapidly. Rotation of crops is earnestly advocated by experts whc say the most important is corn-wheat- clover, with oats in place of wheat where corn occupies the land toe long to permit seeding wheat lr time.
 Experiments show that in continu, ous culture for 20 years the yield o1 wheat fell from 9.24 bushels as ar average for the first 10 years to 5.7s bushels for the second 10 years while in the Swear corn-w wheat-clov' CT rotation the yield of wheat rose from 9.92 bushels in the first lt years to 12.78 bushels in the scconc decade.

Meredith Wants
 Broader System
 of National Roads

Washington, March 17.-Edwin T. Meredith, newly appointed secretary of agriculture, believes there should be active continuation of present federal and state cooperation in connecting state road systems with the systems of adjoining states in order that the working out of an ade- quate highway program for the whole United States may proceed in an orderly manner. He also advocates the continuance of work now going forward under the federal aid road law
 "As 1921 is the last year covered by the law" Mir. Meredith says, "it would be highly desirable, in my opinion, for congress to make pro- vision as promptly as possible fo1 the continuation of the work under the present system by an appropria- tion of at least s100,000,000 for each of the four fiscal years beginning with 1922"

 Place a gallon or more O. gasoline in dishpan or wash boiler, put in the things to be cleaned. then wash them with Solvite soap. Shortly ev- erything comes out looking like new.
 Nothing fades, shrinks or wrinkles No pressing needed. Do not attempt to dry clean without Solvite soap This gasoline soap is the secret of all dry cleaning.

Mankind to Keep Right to Make
 War, is Claim

Rockford. H., March l7-Dr. Rcn- jamin w. Van Riper Of Rockford College for girls, in recent lecture before the student body say. If the right of mankind to make war were put to a universal vote, the world would vote 40 to 1 for it." His state ment is being widely discussed.
 "Mankind," said Dr. Van Riper, "would not, if it could. forego the right to make war Excitement is necessary to the physical wcll-being of the race. War exercises our high est virtues-courage sacrifice, scorn of ease and social solidarity. If war is ever eliminated, we must have a moral substitute that will call into play these same virtues. Take war away and human life would flattcn out to defeat. This would be cat tleyard of planet with war gone and Sunday school peace establish ed for all time. The recurrence of wars will be reduced only by educa tion and the cultivation of human fellowship"
