ed recently to show the mildness
of Northern Minnesota's winters
The latest was brought about by
Gilman Viste, who displayed live

withstand the winter, for it was of
the Paul Bunyan type.

$2,7W Error In
Making Change

Rochester-It pays to count your
change one woman in this town
has learned. This is the way she
found out. She requested Of the
teller in a local bank $500. To him
she handed five $40 bills and a pile
of four other bank notes topped by
a 500 bill. Flipping them back,
he counted them. He saw two
zeros on the three under bills in
the pile topped with the 500.
Everything checked. He gave the
customer the $500 bill and then fol-
lowing her departure discovered
not 500 bills were under three
in the pile of four topped with the
500 but $1,000 bank notes. He
reached her by telephone and found
her blissfully unaware of the error.
Intelligent Fish
Benson-Fish in Lake Minnewas-
ka must have some kind of recip-
rocal trade agreement. Recently
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Simenstad and
Eddie Goggin were fishing through
the ice on that lake. Mrs. Simen-
stad caught a perch just as 1t was
brought to the surface, the fish
gave a jerk, snapped off the leader
and got away. There was nothing
for friend husband to do but pu,
on a new leader for his wife. With
the line down again there was an,
other strike. This time the fish
didn't get away. When it was
brought out the anglers saw tho
fish had both leaders, the broker
one coming out of its mouth easily
But SO help EN-, the fish wasn'
the original perch, but a two-pount
pike.

Williamson, Aug. 20. - (AP)-
Coast guard patrol boats plIcC
through the flood-sWolIcn Roanoke

families from onrushing waters
which already have claimed five
lives and caused thousands TO be-
come homeless in northeastern North
Carolina.
Three families were rescued from

boats were searching in the vicinity
of Griffin Island, several miles down

4 highway and d four-lnIle road fill
from the flood water.
Likewise state highway officials
abandoned plans to blast d gap il
the fill.
The river was six feet IN flood this
four feet more by tomorrow Ol
Thursday.
Chief Of Police w. L. Daniels of
Williamson said three industries
here were flooded but the water was
not expected to do much damage 10
the business or residential sections.
The latest reported victim OF the
disaster was Christopher Powell
cn-year-oId Negro boy, who drown
cd in d flood swollen canal.
At Murlrcesboro two industrial

changed August 10; Davidson, Au-

The switch was made, in each case,
to put the cooperative in the class

ganiZcd under the States old "mu-
tual" law are subject to ad valorem
taxation by the counties in which
their physical properties are located,
as well as to the SIX per cent state
tax on gross receipts.
Corporations organized under the
1885 membership" act are tax-cx-
cmpt. The seven mutuals were or
ganiZcd on advice of Federal REA
men who were then more or less at
odds with the State REA. The adj
vice was given in order to avoid
necessity of having the projects de-
clarcd feasible by the state REA
as is required in the membership act.
The seven corporations have about
1000 miles of line valued for tax
purpose at Approximately $3.50 per
mile Git costs about 81 900 to build a
mile), which would make the total
subject 10 ad valOrem taxes about
$4,000. Figured on an average coun-

on them would total about $1,000.

a reasonably accurate estimate can
be made on the basis of figures fol
