MANY ATTEND CONCERT “GIVEN BY INFANTRY BAND Many attended the ‘band concert ‘Sunday afternoon on the court house square given by the Second regiment ‘band, N. 'D. N. G., under the direction of H. B. Bachman. The program was one which showed the ability of the band to interpret some of the master numbers, as well as the lighter ones, and was a most fitting one for the first Sunday con- cert given here this year. The boys.were given hearty encores by the large audience. Submarine Sighted Near New York New York, Aug. 6.—The report that a Usboat had been sighted near the trans-Atlantic land off this port caused war department authorities to close the gate in the net protecting the har- bor mouth here this morning.

Iowans Come to North Dakota for First Ripe Toms Coming all the way from; Cedar Rap- ids, Ia., to Bismarck, for their first mess of home grown, ripe tomatoes, the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. George Sny- der were opened to the agricultural possibilities of North Dakota generally and of Bismarck war gardens particu- larly yesterday, when they enjoyed a share of 10 round, ripe, red tomatoes harvested by A.C. Beebe, 513 Seven- teenth street, from his home garden. Mrs. Snyder, whose. husband is super- intendent of excavation for the Ford Paving company, came to Bismarck last week from her Iowa home, where she stated no home grown tomatoes had yet ripened. Mr. Beebe declares anyone may produce a stray ripe to- mato, but he challenges any Bismarck war gardener to equal his record of 10 mature beauties the first week in August. First Sweet Corn. The first sweet corn of the season was harvested yesterday by County Register of Deeds G. J. Keenan at his home garden, 601 Second street. The corn was fully matured and of excel- lent quality. Boys Destructive. “Complaints of the destruction of} vegetable gardens and flower beds by mischievous boys have been received from the northwest part of the city. Youngsters with, apparently no thought for the valuable. food which they are wasting, have made a practice of pull- ing up potato vines and in otherwise giving aid to the enemy. The police state that unless these practices are stopped they may find it necessary to make an example of some of the wasters.

Light and heat are the very last things which should be subject to taxation. For similar reasons the committee recommended that the tax upon charges for telephone service to subscribers be eliminated.” Let Out Insurance. Striking out all insurance taxes from the house pill was based upon the belief that excise taxes upon in-|’ surance is a questionable principle and “should be subjected to tax only as a last resort.” Elimination or reduction of all of the five per cent gross sales tax upon many manufacturers was defended be- cause the manufacturers also must pay high income and excess }rofits taxes. “Your committee felt,” the re- port said, “that only where the condi- tions are exceptional should such a manufacturers’ gross sales tax be jus- tifiable.” For these reasons the house tax on patent medicines was reduced to two per cent. Proposed new federal license tax on motorcycles and automobiles based upon the original selling cost in lieu of the house manufacturers’ tax, was explained as follows: “A gross tax upon automobile manu facturers was first considered, but on thorough investigation it appeared that over 80 per cent were making very small profits. A few were mak- ing enormous profits. A gross pro- duction tax in size sufficient to pro duce a substantial return would have driven out of business a large major- fiy of . automobile manufacturer's Your committee’ concluded that the automobile was a proper subject for a war revenue tax and recommends for the high gross sales tax, which might or might not be passed on to the.purchaser, a moderate e tax upon the owners of automobiles and métorcycles.” Cabarets Are Hit. Declaring that the new tax on cab- arets and retention of taxes on other amusenient admissions is justifiable, the report said the tax on moving pic- ture theatres charging less than 25 cents had been eliminated, because: “The moving picture show has be- come,a national institution. It pos- sesses many valuable educational fea- _| piring Second, with the result that at tures. They are largely. patronized by people of small ineans.” House taxes on club dues were eliminated, the report said, because it was difficult to reach clubs properly taxable and at the same time exempt those which should not be taxed. Most house stamp ta: virtually those of Spanish war days, the report said, have been retained. The new one-cent stamp act on all bank checks it was said, was provided be- jecause prevalent in most belligerent countries and because “there is no good reason why this source, which would yield a. substantial revenue, should be overlooked.” , The house general 10 per cent, tar- iff levy, the committee declared, would have taxed nearly 4,000 articles and yield $200,000,005, “There is no estimate, however, of | the amount the consuming — public | would have to pay,” the report said. “So sweeping a change would haya brought consequences thought clearly undesirable.” 1 The committee, it va: stituted for the house 10 per cent | tariff levy “moderate, temporary ex cise taxes” of onehalf a cent per pound on sugar, five cents on tea, two | cents on coffee, and from three to five cents on cocoa. 75 Cents Per Capita. “If every cent of these taxes,” the report stated, ‘ “were passed on to the consumer, it would amount to little more than 75 cents per capita, a sum ‘so small it would hardly be felt by the consumer. A considerable part is likely to ‘be absorbed by the pro- ducers and dealers. They are small compared with similar taxes in prac- tically all belligerent countries.” The increase of 1-4 cent a pound in second class mail rates and the five per cent net profits tax against pub- lishers on profits over $4,000 annually, in lieu of the house zone rate in- was commented on as fol- s stated, sud- “Leading representatives of the pub- lishers appeared in protest against the zone system and presented evi- j; dence that it would be a serious mis- take and. in many instances entail cer- tain disaster. The combination pos- tal and special income tax, recom- mended as a substitute, is not regard- ed as perfect but in view of increases on first and second class mail and parcel post, it was felt th: some rea- sonably proportionate additional tax should be imposed upon newspapers and periodicals having the privilege of second class mail matter.” Substitution of a new plan of “infor- mation at the source” instead of col- lection at the source for income taxes, the report said, will enable the gov- ernment to locate more effectively all individuals subject to the income tax,” and stimulate collections, lessen ex- pense. The new plan of taxing undi- vided corporate surplus, also, was said to insure Jarger and fairer col- lections . FATE OF SECOND IS UNCERTAIN (Continued from page one) panies had been resting on its oa since that date, recruiting had not been pushed as diligently as it would have been had not the required mini- mum been well exceeded in every in- stance. Saturday night's declaration from Brigadier General Mann took every- one by surprise, and practically read the Second ott of existance, for it ‘was beyond al! reason to expect that the two or three companies under the new minimum could be communicated with in time to enable them to do any recruiting in the three hours’ time which remained. Adjutant General Fraser wired a statement of the situation to Senator ‘McCumber at Washington, stating that the regiment then had a total strength of 1175, within men of the number required under the. new minimum, and requesting that the senator take the matter up with the militia bureau. Ile advised the sen- ator that officers and men protested against this ruling and also against the policy of the department in with- holding information until the last moment. ‘Then the adjutant general and Major Douglass Settle, chief mus- tering officer for North Dakota, pro- ceed to apply the pulmotor to the ex- 11:30, just 30 minutes before the axe was due to drop, the adjutant general wired Brigadier General Mann that the Second had complied with his re- quirements and 13/7 men, or a trifle more than the required minimum of 100 to the company, were reported.

He took for his text “Speak unto the children of Isreal, that they go for- ward,” Gen. xiv, 15. The following is a synopsis of the sermon: A great crisis in the history of the chosen people. Under the leadership of Moses and Aaron the children of Israel, accompanied by thousands of slaves like themselves, had gone up out of the land of Egypt. With light heart and bounding enthusiasm they had started upon the wonderful enter- prise. But what a sudden change. Lo, the great sea is now stretched out as & barrier before them, while the sound of the pursuing army of the repentant Pharoah is even in And now they cry in despair “Are there no graves in And then this strange command comes direct from God. Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward.” What a watchword for God’s people, and as full of meaning today as during all the long ages of God's dealing with the children of men. ‘A: watchword of wisdom in matters of state. In the hostory of our na- tional life, when we have seemingly come to an impassable wall and en- emies have threatened, we have done well to go forward, for in the fore: front our destiny lay. God had called Israel to a mighty work. ‘The world was to be enlightened and sanctified by the children of Abraham, and no earthly object was to thwart His will. ‘The children of Israel went forward, and. the waters were a wall unto them on the right rand on the left, and those very waters, seemingly an un surpassable obstacle to their advance ment, became the instrument of rid- ding them of the impending danger from Pharaoh's pursuit. As a nation we have a destiny pjanned by Al mighty God.

SWALL PARTICLES CUT METAL Good Washing With Soap and Water’ Will Save Many Dollars in Repair Bills—Avoid Soap on Highly Polished Body. Some people pay little attention ta. the appearance of thei? cars, yashing ~ and polishing only on rare occasions, A cleaning and polishing is necessary not only because it makes the car‘. look better but because it increases * life and makes for smooth running, ‘ writes H. A. Tarantous of New York in Orange Judd Farmer. Mud and . dirt on the running gear parts, such ! as brakes, universals, ete., would be ‘ perfectly harmless if it remained away from the working parts. However, the sinall particles work their way to the moving parts and cut the metal. ‘This applies to -the steering system also. ‘ A good cleaning of the running gear with soft soap and water whens - ever the mud accumuiates will save many dollars in repair bills.
