HUNTERS SHOULD BE
SURE WHEN SHOOTING

Because of the lag between the
openings of the season on prairie
chickens and pheasants this year,
Erling Swenson, State Game and Fish
Director, issued a caution and warn
ing to hunters to know what they are
shooting at before they pull the trig-
ger"
Don't take hen pheasants for
prairie chickens. Good sportsman
ship demands you wait until sure be-
fore shooting" he said.
Shooting of prairie chicken (pin-
nated) grouse and white breasted
(sharptaiD grouse is permitted in 10
counties during 1884: Kittson, Ro-

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

At the fifteenth annual assembly
of the League of Nations, now in pro-
gress at Geneva, Switzerland, the
most vital of all international prob
lens pending will be sidetracked-
that of disarmament. A few days
prior to the opening of the general
meeting last Monday, the League
Council met and decided that in view
of the supposedly turbulent conditions
prevailing throughout the world,
nothing can be done about disarma-
ment until-at the earliest-some
time in November when the steering
committee of the disarmament con-
ference may meet to survey the situa-
ton.
Other issues, of considerable i'm
portance, are being discussed at Cen
eva this week, first of all, the prob
lem of inviting Soviet Russia to join
the League. While it is generally
understood that no serious opposition
will be offered to the plan of admit
ting Russia to the League, there may
be some trouble about electing the
Soviet nation a permanent member
of the League Council, Poland, Port
ugal and Argentina being especially
outspoken against this project; cleo
ton as permanent Council member
requires unanimity.
At the present session reports will
be heard on the state of affairs in
restless Austria; on the coming Saar
district plebiscite, and on the Gran
Chaco war between Paraguay and Bo-
livia. Circumstances being what
they are-and League traditions what
they are-it is not likely that any de-
cisive action will be taken now in re-
gard to the solution of the problems
here specified. But they will be de-
bated-and then decently buried in
some committee pigeonhole.
Policy Reversed.

RELIEF FEED LIMIT
is SIS PER MONTH

Mark Graham, of the state drOuth
relief administration with headquar-
tiers at Waverly, was in Pine county
this week in his official capacity.
Mr.. Graham states that the feed re-
lief budget allows for a maximum of
S25 per month in direct feed to each
farmer and where more than this is
required it is necessary for the one
requiring it to make application to
the Federal government for a loan.
He stated that his office had nothing
to do with this phase of the work but
that they would do the clerical work
required. Those getting the direct
feed relief are required to work out
the amount they get at later date
on relief work.
o. S. Brekke is in charge of the
county office and Mr.. Graham has ID
counties under his supervision.

MANY CATTLE
LEAVE COUNTY
Government Buying Program is Under
Way as $50 Per Day Are
Being Shipped.

The cattle buying program in Pine
county is under way and one hundred
and fifty animals a day are being
purchased to be used either as sub
sistence animals or for relief meat,
according to r. S. Harris, emergency
agricultural agent. These animals
are being shipped from every stock
yard in the county where adequate
pens are found. Prices paid, net to
the farmer, range from $12 to $40 for
animals over two years of age. $40
to SIS for yearlings and 81 to IS for
animals under one year. The average
paid Hinckley and Birch Creek farm
ers for cows was SIS.
Mr.. Harris urges all people wishing
to sell animals to advise his office at
Pine City. Most of the animals must
be moved before October Is and all
stragglers taken out by November /,
which is announced as the closing
date of government cattle purchasing.
Those wishing to sell a little later
should send in their cards with a note
stating the earliest date the owner
wishes to sell.
Another government program in
tended to relieve the feed situation is
the sheep purchasing plan to be di-
rected by Mr.. Harris. The price to be
paid for sheep is two dollars per head
delivered at the loading point. Only
ewes one year and older will be pur-
Those wishing to sell sheep
should communicate with or see the
emergency agent at once. No county
canvass is to be made.
The seller is not bound in any man.
ner by selling animals to the govern
ment except to cooperate in future
reduction programs prior to January,
1886. The above clause is necessary
as this money was appropriated for
dairy reduction purposes and could he
obtained in no other way. All reduc-
tions made by selling animals count
should there be a cattle program
which is very unlikely. No restric-
tions are made as to raising more ami
mails or to buying animals.

STRAY DEPOSITORS OF
CLOSED MARKVILLE
BANK SHOULD CALL

DepositorS of the closed bank-the
Farmers State Bank of Markville-
whose names are listed below have
money waiting for them, or have
failed to cash dividend checks prev
iously mailed to them. Most of them
reside, or at one time did reside, in
the community of Markville of near
there. Anyone who knows their
whereabouts will be doing them a
favor by writing to Elmer A. Benson,
commissioners of banks, State Office
Building, st. Paul.
They are lost depositors of closed
banks. In the liquidation of closed
banking institutions, dividends are
paid to depositors from time to time.
In the case of the depositors on the
list below, the checks had been
mailed to the last known address and
have been returned to the Banking
Department offices by the local post
office. Perhaps they have moved and
left no address or the address at the
bank was faulty. For some reason
these checks have not reached the
proper hands. Others have lost or
failed to cash their dividend checks.
Many Undelivered Checks.
Undelivered checks from closed
banks over the state have accumu-
lated until there are thousands, some
dating back as far as 1923. Alto
gether, approximately $16S,O0O is tied
up in uncalled-for checks in the hands
of the Closed Banking Department.
An attempt is being made now to find
the depositors and get this money to
them. Many of them have been
found, but there are thousands yet
to be located.
Those whose names are on the list,
or friends who know where they can
be located, or anyone who believes
that he may have money due him
from a closed bank which is not
reaching him should write the Com
missioner of Banks. Proper identi-
fication will be required before the
checks are turned over.

A Heavy Hitting Affair.
uC SdIlO VII oulludS was maj hSu
by heaving hitting, the Sturgeon Lake
batsmen manifesting their supremacy
by knocking out eighteen hits from
the offerings of Fore and Leuhman.
Dutch" Gay took the lead in the
hitting attack getting four hits, two
doubles and two singles, in as many
times at bat. Jack Cunningham and
Bobby Olson each collected three out
of five times at bat. Leuhman batted
out a triple and a single in four
times at bat for Henriette.
Monroe Cunningham contributed
sensational fielding performances in
the outfield. He speared a long fly
batted out by Fore which cut off a
potential two base hit and a run. In
the fourth inning he made a peg from
centerfield to the plate and caught
Whiteside who attempted to score
from second base on a single by
Peterson.
The catchers, Peterson and Gay,
shone brilliantly in fielding perform
ances making exceptional assists and
put-outs.
Mack Anderson pitched the whole
game for the winners and showed ex-
cellent form keeping the opponents
hits we'll scattered and bearing down
intensely when necessary. Leuhman,
relieving Fore in the Fourth inning,
pitched good ball, having but one bad
inning, that being the eighth when
the Lakers punched four hits, with
base on balls and one base on an
error to score four runs.

NEW DEPRECIATION
RULES EXPLAINED
D. C. Accountants Discuss
Change in Policy in
Tax Returns.

A large group Of treasurers, con-
trollers ana accountants Of Wash
ington corporations, together with
many tax consultants and public ac-
countants met Wednesday evening at
the Carlton to hear Henry B. Fernald.
New York certified public accountant
and well-known tax authority, discuss
the TreaSury's new policy of handling
depreciation deductions in income tax
returns. The meeting was one of
series sponsored by the Washington
chapter of the National Association
of Cost Accountants.
William E. Churchill, controller of
Peoples Drug Stores and president of
the local chapter, in his introduction
of the speaker said that no phase of
Federal income taxation had been of
such interest to accountants and tax
payers as the recent change in the
Treasury Departments handling Of
deductions for the depreciation of
buildings, machinery and other assets
used in business.
Mr.. Fernald, in citing the reasons
for the change in Government policy,
stated that when Congress was con-
Sidering the revenue act of 1884 there
was a feeling thousands of taxpayers
were taking excessive deductions for
depreciation and the Government was
losing vast amount in taxes. Be-
cause of the financial exigencies of
the Government the committees of
Congress felt that there should be an
arbitrary reduction of rs per cent
in such deductions for the next three
years. This. they expected. would re-
suit in $85,000,O00 more income tax
collections each year.
The Treasury's estimate of the saw
ings was smaller, and the Secretary
of the Treasury told the congressional
committees that the same amount of
savings could be effected by a stricter
administration of these deductions
without change in the law. Pub
lshed changes in the departments
procedure indicate that the plan to
be followed is to place the burden Of
proof on the taxpayer to sustain the
deduction taken.
Mr.. Fernald pointed out that to re-
quire the taxpayer to submit all evi-
dence necessary to prove conclusively
that he was entitled to the deduc-
ton Claimed would be an impossible
standard of income tax administra-
tion. The ordinary man does not
have the requisite knowledge and the
volume of evidence necessary in the
case of large manufacturing corpora
tions would be inconceivable.
D. w. Martin, section chief in the
Valuation Division of the Income Tax
Unit, led the discussion which fol-
lowed the principal address.
