BANK STOCK IN
/. STATEE:AE
u. FROM TAXATION

Bismarck, N. D., March An
oversight in the 1919 session of
the Legislature will deprive the state
of North Dakota to tax on state bank
stocks estimated to amount tos s 447,-
900 in 1920 and $408,00 in 1921:
The supreme court, in the. case of
the Farmers State Bank of Page,
against the state tax commissioner
and the treasurer and sheriff of Cass
county, holds that stock in state banks
is not taxable. .e ~
The 1919 session of the legislature
repealed the money and credits act
which provided that money and cred
its, including stocks and bonds,a were
exempt from taxation. An income tax
was substituted. Through what is be-
lieved by the tax commissioners of
flee to have been an oversight on the
part of legislators, the law was left
in such shape that the supreme court
holdssqthat bank stocks still are ex-
smpt; from taxation, except Their mi
NAL capital stock case. :sS@
A case somewhat similar is pending
in federal courts in which the right
of the state to tax national bank stock
is questioned. ]';r
Judge Christensen and Bronson
disqualified in the case, because both
own bank stock and District Judges
Nuessels and Berry sat in the case.
Judge Grace dissented from the opin-
ion of the majority. ...,

coMMuTER HAS GREAT IDEA
Warns His Hat Before Putting It On
Whom the Morning 10 Of the
Chilly Order.

The commuter was shtvering. An Icy
blast had chilled him through when he
got out Of bed to close the window
and, although he was about to seat
himself at the breakfast table, his
teeth chartered at the thought of the
cold walk he must take to get the
$40.
Suddenly brilliant idea struck him.
He dashed into the hall, rescued soft
hat from the hat rack and, slipping In
to the living room, turned on the cleo
trio lamp and dropped his hat over 1t.
Il His better half, who had been re-
garding him with amazement, but who
had been married long enough to know
not to ask questions in the middle Of
her husbands brilliant schemes,
stepped to the door Of the living room
and smiled.
"Come on, DEAR" she pleaded {;
you're late now and I've got the love
lest mullins"
"Fine," was the response. Suppose
you wonder what's the big idea. Well,
you know, when man is cold he puts
on his hat. I've improved on that. Got
my hat on the lamp warming. The
leather band inside is always so cold
these mornings" ,.

ASKS PROTECTION FOR GAME
Hawaiian Fish and Game Association
Asserts That Condition on the
g. Islands Are Bad.

The latest application received BY
the American Game Protective associa-
ton for club membership comes from
Hawaii. The Hawaiian Fish and
Game association has been formed by
handful Of the sportsmen in the
territory who have realized that un-
less they take drastic steps the game
on the islands will soon be exter-
minated.
Bruce Cartwright, secretary Of the
Hawaiian association, writes that for
merly the islands were alive with
game, but due to poor law enforcement
and the lack Of adequate protective
measures the condition is now serious.
The greater part Of the population
are Orientals, and to teach them that
game must be protected will prove a
laborious task, he says.
The Chinese dove, Monaghan pleas
ant and. California quail are the most
common upland game birds, although
formerly .peacocks, turkeys and wild
chickens were plentiful. Golden
plover are very numerous during
migration. Ducks and other shore
birds also visit the islands.
The game animals in Hawaii con-
sist Of goats, sheep and deer. The
theory has been advanced-and found
the ear Of the lawmakers on the is
lands-that deer are detrimental to
forests. 1t Is asserted that they de-
stroy forests by eating the protective
covering from the roots Of the trees.

LAWRENCE E. NETHERLY
Lawrence E. Netherly, one of the

Lawrence E. Netherly, one of the
most enterprising and popular young
fellows of this city, passed away at
a local hospital last Thursday night.
He had undergone an operation for
hernia, and death was caused from
odema Of the lungs. Lawrence was
well known to everyone here, had al
ways been the picture of health, and
his death proved a great shock to all
of his friends. He was born at Null
berry Grove, ILL.,, on Feb. IL, 1900,
but moved to Devils Lake with his
parents when he wassquite young, and
spent practically all of his life in this
city. Since he was old enough to
hold down railroad job he held the
position as call boy here and at Breck-
enridge, Mimi, but during the past
three years was employed as switch
man for the Great Northern Railway.
He always proved to be a great IA
vorite with those under whose charge
he worked, was absolutely depend
able, was always full of ambition, and
there is no question but that he would
have made mark for himself in this
world had his life been spared few
years longer. He was naturally
bright, learned fast, and was never
known to start anything unless he
made good. He is survived by his
father, Jake Netherly, and by one
brother, William. He was brother
of Roy Netherly, who was killed in
action during the World War, and
after whom the local post of the Vet
Grams of Foreign wars has been nam

Immediately after death took place
the deceased's remains were taken to
the Gilbertson undertaking parlors
where they were prepared for burial,
and where they remained until Sun
day afternoon at three o'clock, when
the funeral took place from the Elk's
home in this city, Rev. Garfield Wal
ker officiating. The regular Elk's
funeral service was used. An I'M

II wonder why grandfather kept
this old map?" -
Beatrice Forbes studied the sheet Of
paper which she held in her hand. Be-
side her Foster Reeves, her house
guest and old friend, idly tried to de-
cipher the scrawled document. The
pair were seated on a low dune of
sand on the beach. Behind them the
land sloped gently UP to where white
houses and smooth shell walks signi-
fed the presence of summer colony ;
before them was the fiat beach, on
which the waves broke gently. 1t was
gloriously calm day; the ocean was
unrutaed bys breeze; the ground

buried treasure" Foster Reeves's
voice was bantering. "Here-let's
see It,"
Beatrice handed him the paper.
1T was in his desk for years and
years." she said. II think it's an old
survey Of this part Of the country.
But you can look at it,
Reeves studied the time-worn paper
1t carried fairly clear outline Of the
beach which, according to the scale
indicated in one corner, represented
about six miles of territory. The ocean
was distinguished by neatly drawn
lines running parallel to each other

where's Hartwells light?" he asked
Of Beatrice.
1T isn't here any more" she replied.
1T used to be over there on that hum
mock where the pile Of stones is."
She pointed, and Reeves, following her
finger, saw hump Of sand surmounted
by a heap of stones that showed evil
dences of having been worked by the
hand Of man. And then his gaze was
arrested by feature Of the landscape
which he had seen many times before
but had never particularly noticed.
About quarter Of q mile inland
stood majestic oak tree-by FIR the
largest IN he neighborhood. Its spread.
Ing branches were silhouetted against
the sinking sun and 1t showed like

caught his breath. The ''big oak" said
the directions on the map. That must
be the big oakland there was Hart

he cast his glance around he saw down
the beach an enormous bowlder jutting
from the sand-a huge gray rock that
dominated the immediate foreground
He turned to Beatrice in excitement.
"Look!" he said. "There's the big
oak and the old Highland down there
Is the bowlder; it must be the one
your grandfather meant; there's not
another stone anywhere near it's size.
We ought to follow the directions on
the map!"
Beatrice laughed.
"Of course the bowlder and the tree
and the light are there" she said.
"Grandfather made this map of this
part Of the beach-why shouldn't they
be there? He never hid any treasure.
Come on, let's 60 in. It's getting late"

But the idea Of a buried treasure
would not down. When the rest Of the
party were sleeping that night Foster
found his mind running on pieces Of
eight and doubloons hidden In q chest
at the point flfty-seven PAGES south Of
the bowlder where the big oak and
Hartwell's light stood in line. He tossed
and turned, but sleep would not come.
At last he gave up and left his bed.
II may be darn fool" he said
resisnedly. 'but I'm going to follow

A few minutes later he was dressed
