The wind blew down an electric high line which struck the steer, causing the injury.

A farm of 40 acres was sold by Col. J. W. Reedy of Beresford to E. C.

Warner last week for $116 an acre. The farm is ideally located close to town and on a paved highway but the improvements are somewhat run down. The bidding was brisk until the late xounds. The Canton high school building was broken into the night of May 24th for the fourth time in recent years. A window was broken in the superintendent's office and the combination was knocked off the office vault.

It is thought that the thieves wanted nothing but money but it had all been removed from the building. Peter Nelson of Hurley, S. was sentenced to fifteen years in Leavenworth federal prison for transporting three stolen cars between Parker and Valley City, N. He was arrested in a gun fight near Valley City in which his partner, Arnold Vetter, was killed by a deputy sheriff hunting stolen Among the loot found at Valley City was a Chevrolet oil truck stolen at Rock Rapids. Mr.

and Mrs. Edward Wilkinson of Odebolt observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary May 23rd when open house was held at the home of their son-in-law and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. John Buehler.

Wallace Howie of Chatsworth. A truck which was seized in LeMars May 20th carrying 200 cases of beer was taken back to Luverne, where three men, Clint Colvin, J. B. Syfert and Ray Wallace, had passed a "rubber" check in payment. The load was too large for the truck so 48 cases of beer were stored in LeMars.

The truck, which had a capacity of 1J tons, was loaded down with nearly five tons of beer. A Chevrolet coupe which was seized carried a load of 510 bottles in the back. A car in Sigman's Super Service building in Sheldon was discovered to be on fire early the morning of May 24th by John Korver, the night marshal. The fire was caused by a short circuit resulting from a bale of twine, fastened together with wire, falling off the back seat upon several storage batteries which were on the floor of the car. The wire became hot and ignited the upholstery of the car.

The inside of the body was totally destroyed but the engine was not damaged. When the fire was discovered an alarm was sounded and the firemen succeeded in getting the car out before any damage was done to the building. The insurance in the car had run out a few days before and Mr. Sigroan had not renewed it.

Janna Boos of Alton. The officers state that the money came at a much needed time as funds at the institution were very low at this time. Mr. and Mrs. Minor DeBoer of Rock Valley were considerably injured May 21st when their car skidded in a wet place on the road, causing the machine to torn over.

Mr. DeBoer suffered some broken ribs while Mrs. DeBoer was injured about her head and 'both were severely shaken op. The other passengers in the car escaped injury. The car was quite badly damaged.

F. Kaiser in Oyens May 9th. The two men have been arrested on several occasions but no real evidence could be obtained which would convict them before. Don Howard, who was held in the county jail in Spencer, picked ithe lock on the door the night of May 21st and made his escape. He was arrested twenty-four hours later in Sioux City and is now being held in jail at the latter place.

Howard is charged with having a bogus travelers check in 'Spencer last March. At the time Howard took his leave from the Clay county jail there were eight other prisoners but none left the jail. Frank Martin, who is a stranger in Sac City, is held in the county jail in that city charged with breaking and entering the John Hueter drug store at Lytton recently. Martin and another man drove into a garage in Sioux City to get a tire repaired. An officer who happened along became suspicious of merchandise in the car and started an investigation.

The other man made a getaway but Martin was held. Although Mr. Hueter lias identified the stolen goods Martin maintains he had nothing to do with the job. Martin is held in default of a $2,000 bond. Joyce Edman, 3-year-old daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Philip Edman of Beresford, was attacked by a rooster at the Sigfred Edbloom farm near there May 24th. The little girl and her mother were attending a' meeting of the Ladies' Aid at the Edbloom home and Joyce and a number of children were playing outside. The rooster chased the child until she fell down and he then scratched her. She suffered two long deep scratches on her face, one on the forehead and one on her cheek and she also had small cuts about her lips.

Joyce also lost a tooth in the fray. While working in a field for Charley Rothans near Monroe, S. three years ago, Harlow Munger lost a purse containing between $65 and $70. One day recently while Munger was planting corn in the same field he found the purse and money. It was so badly decayed that the contents were not readable.

He wrote the government in regard to sending it in for exchange for other money. Henry Doeden, also of Monroe, was lucky recently, finding a watch which he lost in a field six years ago. The watch seemed to be none the worse for after winding it the watch ticked on as usual. Ed Thomarsen, aged 65, of LeMars, was seriously injured and his companion, Win. Zeig, aged 42, of LeMars, was also injujred near Holstein May 22nd when the former failed to negotiate a curve, causing his car to go into the ditch and striking a telephone pole.

Arthur Heuck of Everly, who was the defendant in a $20,000 damage suit in connection with the death of Dorothy Harper, 24-year-old Sioux City girl, who died last July from the result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident near Spencer, was held not liable by the jury in Clay county last week. There were four people in the Sioux City car, Dorothy Harper, Inez Smith, Dr. C.

Steinbach and Burdette Greeny, and this car collided with one driven by Heuck at an intersection, causing the Sioux City car to turn over. (Liquor was found in the Sioux City car but Dr. C. C. Collester of 'Spencer testified that Miss Smith, the driver, had not been drinking.

The plaintiff attempted to prove that Heuck had 'been driving on. the wrong side of the road. The jury deliberated fourteen hows before a decision was reached. A second case against Heuck for 1750 was filed Miss Smith for the damage to her car and injuries suffered by fcer. SPECIAL Friday and Saturday 9c Beef Roast.

The fire started from a laundry stove while washing operations were in progress.

A quantity of clothes, a washing machine and a cream separator were also destroyed. The C. S. Lutjon oil station near Everly was destroyed by fire the morning of May 18th. H.

Bartell, who was managing the station, was sleeping there and he escaped with only his clothes and a small grip. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss is partly covered by insurance. The killing of a chicken thief by a gun planted in a chicken coop near Craig a few weeks ago doesn't seem to have proved much of a warning. Some time ago several chickens were stolen from the Wm.

Baack place near Craig and the night of May 20th about sixty more chickens were taken. Kenneth, 11-year-old son of Cliff Goodwin of Sac City, was painfully injured May 25th when his bicycle was struck by a car as he was crossing a street.

Gilbert had driven to the field with some seed corn for his father who was planting corn and had started on his return trip when something happened to the car causing it to turn over. It is thought that a wheel came off the car, causing the accident. Gilbert's brother saw the accident from the field where he was working and he hurried to his assistance.

Gilbert was able to walk to the house and medical aid was summoned. He was removed to a 'hospital in LeMars where he passed away about four hours after the accident. The young man's chest was badly crushed. Besides his parents he is survived by three brothers and two sisters. Sunshine Community Club The Sunshine Community Club will meet at the home of Mrs.

GIZZARD CMICKFKS Barker Ifc Bwrket The Druggists SNAPSHOTS OF WASHINGTON Taken for The Independent by The Helm News Service The testimony as to the income-tax returns of the members of the Morgan lirm give striking 1 confirmation of the unreliability of this fair-weather tax.

As might be expected, in the big year of 1929 these members paid the huge aggregate of $11,000,000 in income taxes. As mighti equally be expected, in the disastrous years 1931 and 1932 they paid exactly nothing, since the base of the tax, the incomes of these partners, had indeed, become heavy losses. The example is especially timely in view of the income-tax raise pending in Congress. There is no question as to whom this raise would hit. It would not hit the wealthy, for the great incomes have largely dried up through the failure of dividends or through a shift of investments into tax-exempt securities.

The huge new sum to be raised would come out of the small salaries and all incomes of the great middle groups of Americans. The sooner Congress realizes that it has been relying upon a dangerous, unjust and unreliable tax the better. Mr. J. P.

Morgan told on the stand before the Senate committee that his firm on January 2, 1932, had charged off losses of about twenty-one millions of dollars. This was done when a new accounting became desirable because of the admission of a new member of the firm. These losses exempted the firm from paying taxes. In other words there was no net profit, no net income for the period. So far as the evidence has shown, this exemption was claimed in compliance with the Urms of the revenue act.

A statement given out to list the condition of the firm from December 31, 1927, to December 31, 1932, shows that the net worth, or capital, decreased from $118,604,183 on December 31, 1929, to $62,959,772 on January 2, 1932. Thus in a two-year period the losses were more than $50,000,000. There was a gain in net worth during 1D32 from $52,995,772 to $53,194,076. Clearly, the whole income-tax law is defective. Its revision should be supervised by experts and should be kept absolutely free from partisan, sectional or any other unfair considerations.

With little debate, but by the large majority of 262 to 19, the House of Representatives has approved the Steagall Bill, amending present banking laws. Some of its major provisions are substantially identical'with corresponding sections of the Glass Bill, now pending in the 'Senate. Member banks of the Federal Reserve System are required to divorce their security affiliates within a period of two years. Restrictions are placed on their operating policy in order to prevent the undue use" of Reserve Bank credit for speculative purposes, and the Reserve Board is given power to oversee and direct the use of such resources. The minimum amount of capital required for new national banks is increased.

Provision is made for expediting the liquidation of banks now in receivership. With President Roosevelt's three- way program for industrial control, public works and new taxes set for its start through the House of Representatives, Democratic leaders, stirred by the revelations of the Senate's investigation of J. P. Morgan began a drive for sweeping revision of the Administration features of the income tax laws. Although the move, sponsored by Representative Robert L.

Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, will not affect the speedy passage of the industrial recovery bill in the House, the committee will meet to seek a method to end a situation by which Mr. Morgan and his partners have been enabled to pay no income taxes in the last two years. A resolution requesting President Roosevelt to "use his good offices and make friendly representation to the German Government" in respect to its Jewish citizens has been introduced by Representative Fish, Republican, of New York. Addressing the House, Fish charged that the "German Government is pursuing a relentless and ruthless policy of economic persecution and repression of Jews in Germany," and that it was the intention of the Hitler Government to "deprive the Jews of their civic, political and economic rights." The Roosevelt Administration has given a shoulder push to the movement for repeal with Postmaster General Farley declaring that unless the Eighteenth Amendment is written off the books every taxpayer, will have to hand the Government $6 to out of every he earns this year. Some comments on the President's far-reaching plan for the control of industry express surprise at the strong support which it has received from leaders of business in view of the dictatorial powers to be conferred upon SMOKE: MANY OF the readers OF THIS great EXPONENT OF fact AND FANCY will recall THE STORY of the man WHO DREAMED that he "HAD SHUFFLED off THIS MORTAL coil" AND LATER presented HIMSELF FOR admission AT THE pearly gates WHERE HE was accosted BY ST.

Peter WHO DEMANDED that HE SUBMIT to A RIGID examination BEFORE BEING granted PERMISSION TO enter. AS ONE of the tests TO WHICH he was subjected ST. PETER ordered AN ATTENDANT to bring A LARGE blackboard AND A piece of chalk AND THE applicant was COMMANDED TO write down ALL THE lies HE HAD ever told AND WAS then left TO HIS own devices. AFTER A long time HAD ELAPSED ST. PETER discovered THAT THE man was missing AND ORDERED strict search TO BE made for him BUT SHORTLY thereafter THE MAN re-appeared.

WHEN QUESTIONED regarding HIS ABSENCE he OFFERED THE explanation THAT HE had gone BACK TO earth AFTER MORE chalk. WHICH REMINDS me that TWO OR three weeks ago CHARLEY NANCOLAS and WYLIE BRIGGS and GUY CHARBBONNO established A FISHING camp ALONG THE Sioux river DOWN NEAR Jefferson, TAKING WITH them FULL CAMPING equipment, A LOT of food AND EVEN garden seeds AND I had heard nothing FURTHER REGARDING THE EXPEDITION UNTIL LAST Friday WHEN I happened to see CHARLEY NANCOLAS in town. I ASKED him if THE CAMPING trip was over BUT HE replied IN THE negative SAYING THAT fishing HAD BEEN so good that HE HAD been obliged TO MAKE a trip BACK TO Hawarden AFTER MORE fish line BUT WHEN I checked up ON HIM I discovered THAT THE principal object OF THE trip to Hawarden HAD BEEN to lay in A FRESH supply OF SARDINES. the Executive. He may frame a code for each industry, regulating hours, wages, prices, production and working conditions.

And it is asked, could governmental authority go farther, even under such a formal dictatorship as prevails in some European countries? Yet President Roosevelt has been advised that fifty great industries have already moved to cooperate with his program. Economic matters occupied the entire stage at the first meeting between President Roosevelt and Viscount Kikujiro Ishii of Japan. Political questions were put off for discussion, if at all, at a later meeting. Secretary Hull said that the State Department would discuss nothing but world economic and monetary problems with the Japanese mission. Japan's attitude toward the abolition of offensive armaments, in view of her delegation's silence at Geneva on that point, caused some speculation in official and diplomatic circles here.

Proceedings at Geneva are exciting the keenest interest here, as the general feeling seems to be that the conference is rapidly approaching a decisive point. John Collier, the new Indian Commissioner, who for ten years was on the firing line against the Indian Office as executive secretary of the American Indian Defense Association, has begun to translate his policies into action. Today Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, announced the appointment of Wade Crawford, a Klamsth Indian, as acting superintendent of the Klamath Reservation in Oregon. This was the first appointment under Mr.

Collier placing an Indian in a position to furnish leadership for his own people. On taking office a month ago, Mr. Collier outlined his policies by declaring that "the paramount responsibility is with the Indians themselves. Within the limits of a protecting guardianship the power should be theirs. The race to be run is their race." The leaders who conducted the remnants of the bonus army out of Washington said: "We are whipped." They added that "the smart fellow in the White House" had been too much for them.

But. his smartness consisted merely in a rational and friendly and 'human way of dealing with a human problem. Perhaps also the President had learned something from the mistakes of his predecessor. Entertained Playrite Club Mrs. Martin Anderson and Mrs.
