MONEY BENEFITS OF
WAR VETERANS ACT
ARE HELD TAXABLE
Morris Rules Property in Hands
OF Guardian Is Not Exempt
Under the Law

An opinion as to the taxability by
the state Of money benefits Of the
World War veterans act Of 1924, held
by guardians Of the beneficiaries, has
been issued by Attorney James James
Morris to George j. Clarity, regional
attorney for the veterans administra-
ton at Fargo.
Nine specific questions relating to
the subject were submitted by Gar
rity.
circumstances under which money
benefits, such as insurance, compen-
sation, adjusted compensation and
death compensation paid by the Uni
ted States to guardians or fiduciar-
les e.. the United States Veterans bu-
reau. are not taxable by the state
were outlined in the opinion as fol-
low:
When the money is in the hands
OF a guardian; when the money is de-
posted in q bank and subject to
check; when the money is deposited
in a savings account; when the money
IS loaned on q time certificate of de-
post; when the money Is deposited
with q building and loan company;
when the money is invested in secured
and unsecured promissory notes,
bonds and mortgages on real estate.
Since these six propositions in
volved classes of property which are
exempt from taxation regardless OF
the source of ownership thereof" the
opinion continues, they are, Of
course, exempt in the hands Of the

guardians Of a beneficiary of the
World War Veterans act"
Money benefits, however. were held
to be not exempt from taxation when
the money Is invested in personal
property where 1t can be shown that
the entire purchase price was paid
out Of money received from the Uni
ted States veterans bureau; and when
the money Is invested In real estate
where it can be shown that the
amount paid for real property is de-
rived wholly from money paid to the
guardian for the benefit Of his ward
under the provisions Of the World
War veterans act.
In reply to another query as to
whether the income, earnings, inter-
est, or increased value on such pro-
perty would be subject to taxation by
the state, Morris stated that ut Is
obvious that If the property itself
is taxable. the income, earnings, In
terest and increased value of the
property would be subject to taxa

Old-time housewives always "put
 up" plums to serve in late winter.
 The pleasant tartness of plum del-
 icacies was particularly acceptable
 with the heavy meals considered
 necessary to combat the winters
 cold. Modern housewives find that
 same tartness delightful with
 roasts and fowl. Modern methods
 of canning and preserving produce
 more delicately favored conserves
 than those of 500 years ago, but
 piums were prized long ago on &C.,
 count of their excellent keeping
 qualities.
 Greengage, yellow, damson and
 all sweet varieties may be used in
 any of the following recipes. Greengage plums are unusually ! easy to can and are very well liked.

Peter talked about the cold ham and veal or chicken and ham pie that he had at home in London when he was boy. Nancy recalled the chicken pie that she used to get when she visited on the farm. She told of the large round, tin milk pan which was lined with baking powder dough, filled with chicken and gravy. covered with dough and baked until the bottom, sides and top of the pie were 8 golden brown. By that time, the chicken gravy bubbled up through the top, adding its richness to the pie. But these pies sometimes made people i'll. The interior of the pie with its cooked chicken
 was kept at a lukewarm tempera- ture for a long time. while the thick crust baked. and being at the temperature at which foods spoil
 most easily the result was the so-
 called "ptomaine" poisoning. Nancy wondered whether there was not 1 some way of keeping the good
 features of the American chicken pie and eliminating the bad ones

YOlJR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
0!9s! eY NEA sEsV!cE INC:

Buried deep in every human heart are a thousand desires. These desires shape conduct and influence behavior from the very minute a child Is born.
 | A wise parent will take these urges into consideration and make allowance for them. If they are not of the type that need absolute discouraging a mother or father should try to develop sympathy and understanding of human na- ture, even very young human na- ture, and suit discipline and pun ishments not to perfection of con duct, but to normal conduct. Most of us. including the children, do the best we can, but let us not forget that 'to err Is human.' Here Are ChlId's Desires.
 You child has deep within him as a part of his very existence cer- tain desires that make it as nat ural for him to want to do the things he does as it is for him to breathe. These desires, the main ones, are classified ina recent gov ernment bulletin as:
 l. Desire for food, drink, and bodily comfort.
 2. Desire for new experiences.
 3. Desire for power and for ex- hibiting 1t.
 1. Desire for recognition of his own individuality.
 5. Desire for bodily safety and security. also for certainty that the persons whom he loves ap- prove of him and love him.
 How to Understand Conduct.
 The advice given to parents in this bulletin Is worth quoting di- rectly:
 You can influence your child's behavior by helping him to have a normal outlet for his desires. If you will keep these desires clearly in mind. you can figure out your child's conduct. You will more easily understand why he acts as he does. Because you understand you can sympathiZe with him and help him in his attempt to find ex- pression for his wants in q way that will make him helpful, happy little person in the home.
 You must realize that you can neither change these desires nor prevent their expression. Your child was born with them: he can hOt Heip HdF'hS thtHI' anu bc Sou not get rid of them. Every person carries them all through life. Whether your child Is shown how to give outlet to them in ways that will make him both happy and good" or whether he will finl | satisfa ction in being naughty depends very largely upon the | guidance and training you give him in the first six years os so Of | his life"
