FRIEND WOULD
SERVE OTHERS
JAIL SENTENCE

Minot. Oct. 3.--Can one person
serve time in the county Jail for
law violation to which another has
plead guilty and is soon to begin
serving a sentence for. the offense?
This is a question propounded to
Judge William Murray Of the county
court by Ryder farmer who has
been sentenced to- begin serving
Jail term on December l, for viola
ton Of the liquor law. The defend
ant declares that he cannot leave his
farm, as there is no one to care for
my chickens, pump the water for my
cattle and perform my other farm
work" He says that he has a friend
who sympathizes with him and has
offered to serve the Jail term.
Jude Murray Will answer the letter
in q somewhat interrogative tone. He
will ask the man whether he believes
that q man convicted and sentenced
to serve sentence for murder could
substitute someone else to serve the
term. Then, clarifying the thought
he wishes to convey, he will inform
the Ryder man that he will be oblie-
ed to serve the Jail sentence himself.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton

Very early in the morning Mister
Gobbler opend his eyes.
The sun wasn't up-but it was
coming, for long fingers of light were
snatching away the night mists.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble!" said Mis-
ter Gobbler, this is going to be q
grand day! And Pm as hungry as a
sword swallower, whatever that IS.
But | saw it advertised on fence
near the road and the man looked
awfully hungry. Gobble, gobble, COB
BILE! Get up, family! Don't forget,
the early bird gets the worm
ayes, but what does the early
worm get!" ,piped up Lanky Legs,
the little turkey boy, opening one eye
and then shutting it again.
But like shot he opened it again,
and then the other, and he stared
and stared and stared.
"What on earth are you looking
att" asked Mister Gobbler peevish-
ly. zone would think you'd been
brought up on desert island instead
of respectable wood-pile beside the
barnyard. What are you staring

Legs, blinking his eyes as hard as
he could, but he didn't finish his sem
tence. Mother! Oh. mother" he
called. "Wake up and look what's
around Daddy's neck"
Missez Gobbler wakened with q
start. She'd been dreaming some
thing awful about an ak. She was
glad to waken and find it was only a
dream. "Wh-what is it? Why, are
you awake so soon, Lanky What's
the matter? What were you calling
me :or?"
"Look at Daddy, Mother. Look
and see what's around his neck!"
Messez Gobbler looked. And she
couldn't keep her face straight at
what she saw. She staggered, so
she did. She staggered out loud.
And that woke up all the other
turkeys and after they had had one
look, each one turned away his face
and sniggered and staggered.
Mister Gobbler swelled himself up
so and got so red in the face, ne
looked as though he were going to
burst.

"It's-it's-somebody has tied a

BRITISH TAXES
TOP OF LIST
Almost Three Times as Heavy
Per Capita as in U. S.

London, Oct. Sat current rates
of exchange taxation in Great Bri-
tain is almost three times as heavy
per capita as in the United States,
according to official figures compil-
ed in London. The latest figures
drawn up show that in Britain the
taxation is $72.44 a head, in the
United States $25.70, in France $24.39
and in Italy $11.S1.
In issuing these comparisons, the
British have challenged as COM
plete MISREPRESENTATION of their own
official figures the scale which M.
d ;mnet Of France presented to the
Institute of Politics at Williamstown,
Mass, recently. He was quilted as
saying that Prime Minister Baldwin
had given figures showing the taxa
tion in France was $8S head, in
Great Britain $83, and in the United
States $28 a head.
Heretofore figures given by Mr..
Baldwin and the British treasury as
to taxation head in variouS coun-
tries have always been in the respec-
tive currencies Of such countries. it
is said. "a

Not all of the big financial in

1t is refreshing to learn that
some of the financial magnates. in
the financial metropolis realize
that there are other and essential
industries in the country that need
conservation and aid as we'll as
those on Manhattan Island. This
fact is seen in the reading of an
advertisement, in one OF the New

the following reference OF North
Dakota is made, by The Bank OF
the Manhattan Company. an Old

charter running back to 1893.
"The Growing Importance OF
North Dakota
Consider that practically all Of
North Dakota's development has
come about since 1872 and how far
that development has carried her.

the confidence OF her people in the
future greatness of their State.

known in the north temperate
zone is produced in North Dakot'.
She leads the country in the pro-
duction of ff1xseed; and produces
