Besides Main Contest Fair Management
Arranges for ass with Boys or Girls
as Drivers - ; stement of Conditions
Which Will Cove n.
People travelling I rough the country
districts of late have 4 Nticed many farm
ers exercising their d. aft oxen in the
farm yards and along the country roads.
In many cases, the oxen have been
hitched to heavy loads of stone and con-
siderable interest has been excited as
to the reason for this sudden activity.
The real reason is that many farmers
are getting their oxen in shape for the
coming Valley fair, Sept. 2G and 27. On
the first day of the fair, the draft cattle
contest, which always IS one of the big
gest events at the fair, viii be held. This
year. this event seems to be exciting
greater interest than ever, and it is ex-
pected that there will be many contes-
tants this season.
The judges will weigh all teams of
oxen entered in the drawing contest on
the grounds at $50 a. m. the first day.
The judges will name the first load to be
drawn, and each yoke will be tested
upon that load. Then the judges will
name the second load and each team will
be tested upon that load, and so on, until
one team at most can go the required
distance and the test IS completed. When
any yoke fails to go the required dis
tance, it shall drop out of the contest and
the judges will measure and record the
length of the draft, and these measure
ments will constitute the basis of the
awards. Five minutes only will be al
lowed each trial and the boat will be
drawn back for a new start but twice.
The length of the draft Will be six feet
straight ahead. Each class viii draw
out. The drawing viii begin at 10
o'clock. The judges will be George f.
Lewis, X. II. Briggs and Henry G. Frost.
There will be five classes for draft
oxen as follows:
1. Pair weighing less than $500
pounds.
>. Pair weighing less than 5000
pounds.
3. Pair weighing less than $500
pounds.
4. Pair weighing less than 1000
pounds.
>. Pair, open to all.
In addition there will be a contest for
draft oxen driven by boys or girls. not
over II years. In this contest the oxen
must not be over five years and their
weight must not exceed 5000 pounds.
First, second and third prizes will be
awarded in all contests and. as last year.
these prizes will aggregate 5000
The interest in the draft oxen contests
is unusually keen because of the fact that
the worlds record for draft oxen was
de at the Valley fair in 1908. The
wonders that accomplished this record
were Mack" and Teddy" owned by the
late j. ID. Avery of Buckland, Mass. In
that year this team pulled a load of
II, 2s4 pounds. They were big Holsteins
six years old and stood better than Is
hands nigh. Their previous record was
l0,OS0 00uuds. After this exhibition. the
oxen were exhibited all over the country
at fairs until they became too heavy to
get up, and they were then killed. As far
as IS known the record established bv
TINS team has never been broken.

Don't think of NOkOl
as q mechanism
NOkOl IS
a heating service
that rids YOU forever of
coal furnace drudgery

There are two things that Nokol
does for the home it serves: it rids
the home forever of the entire
drudgery of furnace attendance,
and substitutes clean, even, auto
matte heat for uncertain, uneven
heat with its attendant CRIME from
coal and ashes.
Nokol is heating service just as
electric light is a lighting service;
both depend on perfected mechan>
ism, but the owner need not think
about the Nokol mechanism any
more than he does about the cleo
trio light mechanism.
Make up your mind to have real
heating service next winter. The
comfort to you will be worth many
times the small initial expense.
That's the experience of more than
six thousand home owners who
now enjoy NokoPs heating service.
The Nokol Heater burns oil, in any type of
heating plant, instead of COAL 1t can be in
stalled N a few hours. Controlled by Their
rnostat it consumes only the amount of fuel
necessary maintain the temperature desired

Nordhagen Has Resided in North Da.
kOta Al Years

Gilbert Nordhagen, resident of
Minot, believes that he is one of
the earliest settlers Of North Dakota
who are still living. Mr.. Nordhagen
came to the state frow Northwood,
Iowa, with his parents in 1873, forty
four years ago. Fargo was then a
small village and the Nordhagens
wanted to settle in a district where
there was some timber, so went 35
miles southwest Of Fargo, to Maple
Greek. There wasn't a shack between
their home and Fargo at that time,
AS a boy, Mr.. Nordhagen herded
cattle where the city of Enderlin now
stands. He remembers when the last
buffalo in the eastern section of the
state was killed. This was in 1880
and only six miles from the Nord-
hagen homestead. Mr.. Nordhagen
ran well remember seeing the buffalo
roam the prairies.
Once it was reported that the In
dlans to the west of them had gone
on the war path and the neighbors
from many miles around gathered at
the Nordha gen home, which was about
the largest in that district and came
with firearms and ammunition, pre-
pared to give battle to the Red men,
but they did not appear.

Income Tax Facts

In making out his income tax re-
turn for 1921, the average taxpayer
will find considerable saving in COM
parison with the amount Of tax paid
on the same income for 1920
The exemptions provided by the rev.
enue act of 1921, are 81 900 for single
persons (the term including widows,
widowers, Divorces, and persons sep
arated from husband and wife by
mutual agreement), $1,000 for mar
ried persons whose net income was
$4,000 or less, and $4,000 for married
persons whose net income was $4,000
or more. Under the revenue act of
1918 the personal exemption allowed
(. married person was $4,000, regard
less Of the amount of net income.
The personal exemption allowed a
married person applies also to the
head Of family, man or woman who
supports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage, or
adoption.
The exemptions for dependents-a
person who receives his chief support
from the taxpayer and who is under
Is years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physical
~ defective-is increased from 5000
TO $500.
The act requires that return be
fled by every single person whose net
income for 1921 was $1,000 or more,
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more, and by
every person-single or married.
whose gross income was $4,000 or
more.
The requirement to file a return of
gross income of $1,000 or more re-
CARELESS Of net income is a new pro-
vision. Net income is gross income
less certain specified deductions for
business expenses, losses, bad debts,
ETC., which are fully explained on the
forms.
Returns must be filed by married
couples whose combined net income
for 1921, including that of dependent
minor children, equaled or exceeded
$4,000, or if the combined gross in
come equaled or exceeded $4,000.
The period for filing returns is from
January l to March Is, 1922. Heavy

cess of $1,000 may be obtained from

ben tBrown Kills an
Unknown Negro atSmoaks

(Walterboro Press and Standard)
Smoaks, Nov. 6.-Ben Brown Sun
day morning shot and instantly killed
a strange man whose name your cor
respodent has failed to ascertain.
Both parties are colored. The homl-
eide occurred at the home OF Ben
Browns son on w. H. Warns farm,
know as the Eugene Padgett place.
1t is said that quite a number OF
negroes had gathered for a supper
or some sort of a frolic and that
about o'clock Sunday morning
Brown was attacked by two men, one
of whom was the man ne killed. The
two being too much for Brown, he
ran to the house of his son short
distance away where the entertain
ment was in progress and went IN
and closed the doors. About the time
he did so the assaliant came upon the
door in an effort to break it down and
get in, at the same time threatening
Brown. Just as soon as he succeed
ed in opening the door in part Brown
fired a load of shot in his chest and
heart at close range.
1t is very evident from reports that
liquor dealt out by some tiger played
it's part in the killing.
