In matters peculiar to its unique field.
Both sides OF the Pacific Coast have their
interests represented; for, aside from the
usual large amount Of space given to the
States west of the Rockies, Mrs. Helen

Professional Beauties of Japan" In
view of the marked difference OF opinions
recently recorded between Sir Edwin
Arnold and the well-known dramatic
critic, Mr.. Clement Scott, as to the at
tractiveness of the Japanese women, it
is interesting to note this writer's obser-

OF the famous scenic park, the first dis

The down town organette seems
considerably worried over the fact
that the Michigan state tax is half
a million dollars higher this year
than last, and seeks to explain, and
say that it is the Democratic fault.
Did the organette offer any explain
alton a year ago? No! He merely
howled Democratic high taxes
Farmers will find the difference by
comparing their state tax this year
with their state tax Of 1892.

A political argument that tells
may be found in the great increase
in state taxes this year. The Re-
publican state administration costs
this county alone, in one year, nearly
$4,000 more than the Democratic
Winans administration cost in any
one year. Our farmers, when they
come to pay their taxes will be apt
to think Of this.-Mt. Clements

The close of the year finds the library
In much better condition than at the time
OF last report. The work of repairing
and rebinding has been continued so that
while only 1917 new books have been
added, 1872 old volumes have been re-
bound and made flt for circulation. New
books and books In constant circulation
are covered with MANILA paper, to pre-
serve them.
The card catalogue has been COM
menced, and all books purchased or re-
bound during the year have been cata-
logued. This work will be continued as
rapidly as possible.
The teachers In the Genital building
have had free use Of the library, taking to
their rooms for use In the class such
books as they desired. Beside "Refer-
ence books" which can be drawn for only
one day, an average OF 90 books Of travel,
history, ETC., have been used each month.
There has also been an increase In the
use of the reference books by High
School pupils during school hours, and
by others before and after school and
evenings.
While much has been gained there lie
much still to be desired. Self binders or
files for Harper's Weekly aud Harper's
Young People are very much needed; and
It would be we'll II we could have late
edition Of Lippencott's Biographical Die
tionary.

newspapers and magazines published In
their county, also all pamphlets Of local
interest; these are preserved and bound
and In time become very valuable for

pected that President Diaz will soon
issue a decree outlining a plan for q
considerable reduction of the army by

Gus burden on the treasury. Mexico

ty-fivc bushels to the acre. Corn was
seen fifteen feet tall, which promised q
yield of sixty bushels. Oats were
lighter than any other crop, but would
make a GOOD stiff half crop. Wheat
has Il slightly smaller acreage than
