FED The BEAR PEANUTS:
BOY LOST PART OF FINGERS
Douglas NTagee Bitten By Animal
While Feeding It

7 Douglas Magee, nephew of Paul
Poetschke, had an experience with
a bear on Monday which he will re-
member as long as he lives. Young
Magee was feeding one of Thad
Windsor's bears with peanuts. In an
attempt to get the animal to eat the
nuts from his hand the boy stuck his
army through the wire enclosure
and held out his hand, which was
filled with peanuts. The bear made
a grab for the nuts and bit off the
ends of two fingers. Magee ran to
the Marshall Hospital, about half a
square distant where the wounded
hand was dressed.

NEGRO ARRESTED WHEN HE
FAILED TO STOP AT MAIN ROAD
First Arrest Here For Violation OF
New Highway Ruling BY State Cops

Jim Griffith, colored, fell a victim
to the new ruling of the State High
way Police which prohibits an auto
mobile from turning into or cross
ing over a main highway without
first stopping, on Saturday. Griffith
was driving on the Misunderstanding
ton Highway and at the du Pont
Boulevard intersection failed to stop
before crossing the road. State Po-
liceman Orr witnessed the violation
of the ruling and arrested the negro.
Taken before Justice of the Peace
Truitt he was charged with reckless
driving. A fine and costs amounting
to $26.50 was imposed. The mans
car was held until the fine was paid.
On May End Griffith was before Mag
istrate Truitt on a reckless driving
charge.
The highway police are taking no
excuses from any persons who fail
to stop before entering or crossing
main thorOughfare. Warning
signs have been placed on the side
roads advising the travelling public
to stop before crossing the road, and !
the police officers have been in
structed to arrest all persons who |
violate the ruling. A section of the
automobile laws gives the Highway .
Department authority to regulate /.
the traffic in this manner.

rms declaration was made by it's
creators in the face Of predictions by
league regulars that the new politi-
cal group will be short lived. These
observers who vainly attempted to
check formation of third North
Dakota party. boldly set the Fcbru-
airy Nonpartisan state convention as
the date Of burial for William Lem
ke,s latest political protegee.
Third party chieftains, however,
after bravely carrying out their ORR
ginal plans in defiance of United
States Senator Lynn J Frazier and
other league heads. expressed un-
wavering sincerity in their an
nounced intention Of making the new
organization power not only in
country.
Secret Society For Farmers
At conference last night an ar
rangement was made whereby the
new party will seek to promote it.
self through organization of a secret
society for farmers only.
An oath Of membership and strict
discipline would keep the organiza-
tion together and functioning as a
unit. according to i. J. Wallace
Montana Farmer-Laborite. who has
been promoting the secret society
idea in Northeastern Montana
Nonpartisan leaders who packed
the convention against the third
party advocates were not united to-
day as to the probable political sig
nlflcance of the convention with re-
gard to state issues. Some express
ed the belief that it had strengthen
ed the cause Of Governor A. G. Sor-
lie, at whom the mass meeting was
commonly interrupted to have been
directed. These leaguers pointed out
that by divorcing the ultra radicals
in the Nonpartisan League, Sorl:c
had strengthened himself with
leaguers who lean toward conserva-
tism and with conservative Repub-
leans who lean toward progressive
ism but who have not approved Of
the league in its entirety.
Another Fight In February
10 many observers yesterdays
meeting was merely a preliminary to
the Nonpartisan convention in Fehru-
airy when the whole proposition will
be fought over again. Farmer-L Labor

that an executive committee will be
appointed at that time and plans
made for party participation in the
primary and fall election campaigns.
Meanwhile movement was afoot
within the ranks Of staunch league

call for yesterdays meeting to ef-

Christmas Cards
Are Mailed Minus
Required Postage

The fact that the rate of postage
on certain classes of mail matter, in
cluding post cards, has been changed
within the past year is leading to
the mailing of large numbers Of
Christmas greeting cards without the
required postage thereon, according
to postal employees.
Printed greeting cards without en-
velopes are charged two cents post
age. Similar cards bearing no unper-
missible. written additions, when
mailed in unsealed envelopes. take
the third class rate, which is one and
one-half cents for each two ounces
or fraction. All such cards. when
mailed in sealed envelopes or when
they bear written messages whether
sealed or unsealed, are chargeable
with postage at the letter rate-two
cents an ounce or fraction.
Three cents postage is charged on
all cards, including government post
al cards, to practically all foreign
countries. Exceptions are made to
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panama and
most parts of South America, which
carry the two cent rate.
When postage Is insufficient the
addressee must pay it before delivery
Of the card can be made. As many
addresses refuse to pay this postage
delivery is often made impossible.

tionally good last Sunday evening
and that Hal II. Westacott, Northern
Pacific agent at Dover. was not the
only "DX Hound" in North Dakota

Denial that the state railroad
board was responsible for taxi fare
increases in Minot and Fargo was
made here today by Fay Harding,

Taxi companies in the two cities

House Bill ReDealS Gift Tax

Tax Publicity

Washington, Dec. 10. tP, The
1878, 100000 tax reduction bin enter
ed today upon'its uncertain Journey
in the senate. assured only Of prompt
consideration.
With the measure efrccting far
reaching slashes in income taxes pay
able next March lI, President Cool
idge has asked the senate to nc: in
time for it to become law before that
date.
Chairman Smoot, Of the senate
finance committee. to which the m.a-
sure goes first for study and ap-
proval, has called the committee to
meet January 4, Immediately after
the holiday recess.
Though passed yesterday by the
house, $50 to %, and endorsed "in
principle" by President Coolidge as
well as the leaders Of both parties
into the last revenue act by the SEN
ate on the measure is 4 question
mark.
The bill repeals the provision for
publicity Of income tax returns, voted
into the last evenue act by the SEN
ate, and the gift tax, a provision
forced into the last law by the house.
Senate's Fight on Tax Changes
However, the principal fight in the
senate now appears to center on the
measures income tax changes. which
relieve 100000 taxpayers by in
creasing personal exemptions from
81 900 to 81 800 for single persons and
from $500 to $3.500 for married
persons. 1t reduces the maXimu m
surtaX from 40 to 20 per cent while
the normal income tax rates are cut
from two to one and one half per
cent on taxable incomes of $4,000 and
less, from four to three per cent on
the next $4,000 Of income and from
six to five per cent on the remainder r
of income.
While heralded as a mon partisan
measure the bill was attacked to the
last by Representative Raincy, Demo-
crat. of Illinois.
After final passage Representative
Tilson Of Connecticut, Republican
leader, told the house its Christ
mas gift" to the federal tax payers
had been considered and disposed Of
with "record- breaking promptness."
The bill was the first introduced and
the first passed in the house, having
been constantly under consideration
since the second day of the session.
