head sorrowfully.
Unc' BLly's wits are sharp. and he
had guessed right away what the
trouble was. SO he explained 20 Mis-
tab Buzzard how he had been mis-
taken for a fierce hawk. and that tho
reason the Green Meadows had been
so lonely was because all the little
meadow people had been hiding and
shiycring with fear as they had
watched or Mitsah Buzzard sailing

Mlstah Buzzard began TO see the

Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock,
fire broke out in John Torgrimson's
barn 2h miles south of Bergen, the
barn, silo, hay, IA horses and harness
were destroyed. The fire had gained
such Roadway before it was discov-
cred that the horses could not be
saved. The three head of Shorthorns
that he had listed for the Minot sale
were saved, also the bull, bought at
Grand Forks last October
Fortunately the balance of his herd
of Shorthorns were in the pasture.
This fire leaves him without a work
horse.
During the fire Mr.. Torgrimson was
unfortunate enough to run some nails
thru his foot and as a result is con-
fined to his bed.
Mr.. Torgrimson is one of the most
prosperous farmers in the ne:ghbor-
hood and the barn will undoubtedly
be rebuilt.

About half of the teachers saved q
little and half actually failed to make
expenses. Many lived at home and
paid no board or room. For these
papa made a nice donation to the
school district.
Scrutiny of these budgets shows
economy almost to privation. Insur-
ance for rural teachers was 81 per
year, for grade teachers, s., for high
school teachers, $40. Professional i'm
provement was SIC per year for rural,
grade and departmental teachers, with
SO for high school and junior high
school teachers. How much profess

or schooling can one buy for $16?

The affair began as Constables Leon

them. Swinging around, they were

revoylers who ordered hands up
simultaneously with the order, fire

were fired at him. Three OF them

assailants sprang upon the policemen
unexpectedly Farrell was shot in the
arm and Kcarin was knocked down,
and several shots were fred at him
while he was on the ground Some of
the bullets passed through his cape
without touching his body, and he

NO REDUCTION
OF FEDERAL TAX
ANY CHANGES IN THE PRESENT
LAW WILL APPLY TO 1921
CALENDAR YEAR.
NEW PRESIDENT AWAITED
Any Bill Embodying Fundamental
Amendment at Short Session
Would Likely BE Vetoed sy
President Wilson.

Washington. 1t is now a practf-
cal certainty that there will be no re
auctions of federal taxes on business
for calendar year of 1920 payable next
year and that no relief can be expect
ed until after the Inauguration of a
new president. Any changes in the
law will apply to the calendar 1921.
Although agitation for repeal of
the excess profits tax is increasing in
volume, leaders of both parties agree
shat there is little probability of any
action in this direction or in the di-
reetion of fundamental revision of
the revenue laws at the approaching
short session of Congress, which
meets in December.
While the administration and a
majority of the Republicans are in
favor of repeating the excess profits
tax the Democrats and Republicans
are at variance on proposed substi-
tutes, and moreover, the Republicans
are insistent upon revising the tariff
upward for protective as we'll as rev.
enue purposes if any revision is as
tempted
For these reasons any bill eynbody-
ing fundamental amendment which
might be passed at the short session
would be likely TO be vetoed by Presi-
dent Wilson. Moreover, with the ap.
preparation bills to be disposed of
there will not be sufficient time dur
ing the short session to frame and
pass any far-reaehing revision.
Senator Harding plans, il elected,
TO convene a special session OF Con
gress, probably in April, 1921, to en-
act a protective tariff and revise di-
rect taxes downward. This viii in
yelye consideration of repeating the
excess profits tax and placing the
revenue production on an entirely
new basis. If Governor Cox should
be elected and the Democrats re-
turned to the control Of Congress,
revenue legislation probably would
b postponed until the new body con
vened. In the event the Democrats
should carry the presidency but loss
Congress, both parties probably would
rather .legislate under Cox than under
Wilson.
