The American people apparently
face additional federal taxation dur
ing the present fiscal year. Receipts
will be less than those figured on:
expenditures more Between the two,
President Harding announced at the
recent meeting of the business or
ganization of government, there is an
unbridged span of $697 100000. II
Great Britain fail to pay interest on
money lent he here during the war
the discrepancy will approximate
$500, 100000. This situation will call
imperatively for additional taxation.
ALI possible sources of additional rev.
enue were proposed and rejected when
the existing revenue law was pending
in congress with the exception of the
sales tax. What congress has de-
clined to do voluntarily It may be
forced to do by financial exigencies
and that is enact a sales tax law.

Probably the people are consuming
less alcoholic liquor than formerly.
but apparently what is being con-
sumed is of a more deadly character
One of the big life insurance COM
panies reports that among It's policy
holders the number of deaths from
alcoholism (acute and chronic) during
the six months just ended Is 1913,
which is eleven more than occurred
in the whole year 1921.

James AFFORD Died Suddenly
Tuesday

James AFFORD, aged "a, passed
away at the county farm Tuesday. He
was up walking around until five min
utes before his death which was caus-
ed by the infrmities of age. The re-
mains were taken to the Van Fleet
undertaking parlors. Efforts were
made to locate relatives in this coun-
try. He had sister living in Toron-
to, Can, but it is reported that she
died four years ago.
Mr.. AFFORD was born in Scotland.
He came to Dakota Territory in 1872
and at one time was a freighter for
the Northern Pacific. For number
of years he was employed by Geo. w.
Kemper, local contractor but had liv-
ed at the county home during the past
three years. He was big, good
natured man. So far as is known he
had never married

been located. There are now 100 oil
drilling outfits at work and between
! twenty and thirty wells have been
brot in which are producing oil in
paying quantities. Tanks have been
erected and the Illinois Pipe Line Co..
have laid their lines to Sunburst, 80
miles distant, from where the oil is
taken in tank cars to the refinery at
fined by the American Refining Co. of
Great Fails last week. 1t is inter-
esting to North Dakotans to learn
that the secretary and general mana
ger of the refining company is Mark
Hunt, formerly publisher of the Wells
County Free Press at Fessenden,
N. d.
Oil at Shelby was struck at the
depth Of about 1000 feet. The land
is hilly and the producing wells are
located within territory of about 10
miles square. The drillers have en-
countcred no shale.
She lby is busy little city. The
hotels are crowded and hundreds of
people are there working in the oil
field. A big gas we'll was struck 8
miles from Shelby and the gas is now
being piped to the town.
The oil in the Keavin field was
struck in rather peculiar manner. A
prospector for oil, who didn't have
much faith in finding the product in
paying quantities, organized COM
pany and started drilling. When he
ran out of funds, he would sell more
stock and finally was surprised when
he struck oil.

Glenburn Man Recalls Incidents of
Earlier DayS

John j.. Winderl of Glenburn brot
his four-year-old daughter, Gertrude,
to Minot Tuesday to have her tonsils
removed Mr.. Winderl called at the
Independent office and we enjoyed a
half hour with him as he recalled in
cidents of twenty years ago when Mr..
Winderl and the writer opened cans
Of sardines, boxes Of crackers and
mixed up patches of Aunt Jemima
pancake flour with slough water at
their homesteads near the present site
of Glenburn. The writer bought his
claim shack from Mr.. Winder which
he had constructed in Minot and
where it stood for several months on
the site Of the city hall. Winderl sold
the writer the shack for $500 and
as money was pretty scarce, he per-
mitted US to make payment at the
rate of five dollars a month. In order
to meet these payments, it was neces-
sary to get some revenue from the
shack, so we rented it to John Spencer
an old bachelor for five dollars a
month and finally paid for it in that
manner. Dan Kimball, who then con-
stituted the police force in Minot,
cussed us more than once because we
we're so slow in moving the shack to
the claim. When Spencer finally
moved out, he left several hundred
thousands Of little friends behind,
nice, gentle, playful, hungry little bed
bugs. The shack was finally moved
across the country on two wagons and
constituted the writer's first home in
North Dakota

Advertising and Prosperity.

Advertising is the beason light Of prosperity.
Advertising is the force that brings success to
any legitimate business venture. 1t is the
force which, If rightly applied, forms a per-
manent foundation of business enterprises It,
is the force that has built up hundreds of thee
leading commercial, financial and industrial or
ganizations. 1t Is the same force that per-
meates the propaganda that is at this time help
ing to restore business back to normal condi-
ton. Hope is kept alive by the invigorating
force of advertising. IT is the instrument that
10 SCATTERING pessimfsm, encouraging industry
and fostering the gradual recovery Of the buy
Ing impulse and which, we firmly believe, will
result in creating firmer market all around.
Therefore it behooves all business men to
exemplify a firm belief in advertising as the
beacon light OF prosperity, because it is the
er-present force which inspires an optimistic
view of things in general. In fact it is
the only remedy that will cure the business
ills this country has suffered. Advertising is
the force that IS functioning in the gradual de-
velopment Of good business. and will bring it
out of period of semi-depression into pros
porous and progressive future. 1t embraces
all and affects all. 1t is power intimately and
inseperably linked with the buyer and the
seller.

Human Sacrifices.

A great many wounded veterans Of the
World war are quartered at the Walter Reed
hospital near Washington. In this connection
it is said that there are many patients at this
institution who would not have been there ex-
cept for the fact that these men are willing to
make blood sacrifices in order to make posi-
BILE regeneration Of their fellows. Blood
TRANSMISSION has become weekly event at the
Walter Reed general hospital. The spirit in
which these young men who are enjoying per-
feet health give freely and voluntarily Of their
life blood for the sake of others is one of the
noblest yet recorded. 1t is no small thing to
make such a sacrifice. Yet many are content to
make it. The outstanding feature of world
, which seems sortid and selfish is the fact that
here and there in many places and under many
conditions, men will be found who display so
great lack of selfishncss as to make them
heroes Of peace. Most blood transfusions are
said to be beneficial. The worlds isn't half so
bad as some of us think it is. There are many
evidences at hand to disclose the warm tide of
humanity running up and down this land. And
| 1t is this tide which enables many to live who
! otherwise might not enjoy life.

He'll Isn't So HIT.

For years the churches have chung to the
doctrine of eternal punishment. and even yet
there is no proof that it Is not true, but the
average person who has church connection does
mot view the situation with alarm He goes
sWensly on his way, living the life of an ordi-
nary human being. and is not afraid. This is
also true as to his non-religious brother. II q
preacher was to get up in the pulpit now and
preach one of the sermons you listened to when
you were a boy many of the members Of the
congregation would remark Where does he
get that stuff?v and the next evening attend
tho movies. All this does not signify anything
NOR change the eternal laws. If there was =
place>of eternal punishment a few years ago
thereAis one now. The undermining Of the hui
man race does not change the laws Of the Gre
ator. II eternal punishment only existed in the
minds of the superstitious then the doctrine Of
Doyle will add to the sum total of human hap
piness.

snovbound, lost in mountains or becalmed at

the Pacific ocean. When he first saw their
signals and turned to aid them the sailors were
too weak to hoist sails or to lower q dory to
receive the two boat loads Of food he gave them.
They had been living 43 days on water soaked
biscuits and oil sucked from copra. Also on
board the vessel were woman and a six
weeks old baby--the captains wife and child.

The Income Tax in Illinois.

Few realize the enormous size OF the in
come tax the people of Illinois pay When one
comes to think about it it is almost appalling to
reflect that such large amount is subtracted
from the resources of the people of the state
annually. But this is one of the legacies OF
war, and it will serve long to remind the people
OF the costliness of the armed encounter. The
total is $3.50, 000, 000 1t is an almost fncompre-
hensible figure. 1t is a tremendous sum for
100000 to pay. 1t goes to show what rich
state Illinois is and the amount of wealth that
1t contains, and the earning power of the peo-
pie. 1t is on an average SIS per capita tax ON
every man. woman and child. This leads one
to reflect that the people of Illinois pay other
taxes. They are called upon to furnish many
millions fos the administration of the affairs
OF the state. Other millions are contributed for
county and township and district expenditures,
and still other millions in the aggregate for the
municipal expenses. We have read able
speeches declaring that unless the tax burdens
are lightened there will in the future be serious
trouble The people would not be able to bear
the aggregate did they not as rule have also
an earning capacity that is large.
But the situation is sufficiently grave to
compel attention, and it should be the duty Of
congress, the state legislature and the county
and city governments to relieve the people of
the burden at the earliest opportunity. Serious
study Of the problem is necessary. But also
there is another thing. and that is that the
people will be the better satisfied IL every dol
lar is honestly expended for something actually
of9nA oMA -
short 1t 10 likely there would be little dissatis-
faction II the people were convinced Of 1t. The
larsnfss Of the income tax is to meet the ex-
pendAares growing out Of the war and nev
ventures BY the government. 1t is but Just to
say that the income tax is annually getting less
and tho soyeynmsnt has reduced expenditures
n vary eommendable degree It has thus set
good example for the nation. Some Of the
new departments oe work. such Is road build
ing. are not unreasonable and are wise.

DaiN Poem
SATURDAY NIGHT.
RY RERTON BRAILEY,

Saturday Night! Saturday Night!
All over tn, country the lights twinkle bright,
And down in the village or up in the city
The girls look uncommonly charming ard
pretty;
Their escorts are manicured, shaved, and ar
rayed
In quite the best clothes they can buy ready
made,
They're living each moment with fervor intense,
They're out for a frolic-and darn the expense,
On Monday their pockets will surely be light,
But then they can plan for Next Saturday
Night!
Saturday Night! Saturday Night!
Throughout all our Weekdays we keep 1t in
sight,
The night we can play with no thought Of the
morning
ION Sunday no strident alarm rings a warn
ing);
The night that the family piles in the car
And goes to the place where the frivolers are;
The night after pdyday-the night when we
dance,
And blow in our surplus-and next weeks PER.
oh, night Of all nights to the hardworkins
wight,
Saturday Night! Saturday Night!
