THEY REGISTER THEIR KICK.
The Increased Value Tax Payer Before
the commissioners

At an early hour this morning there
could be heard a rum bling noise as if
another cyclone was brewing, but the
sound came from the big tax payers
AID the real estate agents who were
rehearsing vigorous kick that they
intended TO make to the com mis- sioners
court, when it met board of euualiza-
tion this morning. Each and every
one of the kickers mad received a little
billet deux informing them chat the
valuation on Their property had been
increased and that if they had reason
to show why the increased valuation
should not go into effect they should
register their k ok this morning with
the commissioners.
The commissioners from down the
valley did not arrive until after 1920,
but the big tax payers were there to
meet them and shake their hands on
their arrival. After consultation in
the corridors of the court house in
which every body talked it was at last
decided that there should be little
private seance in the county assessors
office, but it was the wish OF the tax
payers that no reporters be present, and
the proceedings be kept out of the news-
papers, but a HERALD reporter got in

Had a Real Good Time.

George Ogden and Jack, the barber,
held little discussion last evening in
Harry Chairman S pool room. Ogden
neld th at the tonsorial gentleman was
fracturing the statutes OF the house
The knie hit of the shears aad lather re-
sented this as base insult, and the two
started in with a sortOf catch as catch
can with display of cadenzaS, trills
shakes, rOuiades and sich that made
the heads of the spectators swim.
The debaters tossed each other about,
clung lovingly together, broke away
aud then hugged again until they
rollei out onto the street where the pO-
lice rudeIy inter ferred. George was
.'out and injured a shirt and a whole
lot of wind, while the other artist will
shampoo two large and beautiful black
eyes for the next week. The twain will
explain their refrain in the main 10 the
alcalde tnis evening in very minor
strain. Such Is life in the wild ard

See Newman About Insurance.

When the average man insures his
life he knows, as rule, very little
about what he is getting, but is guided
to very large extent by the represen-
tations of the agent with whom be
deals. He has more or less indefinite
ideas of ABOUT what he wants; and he
expects the agent to put these ideas in
shape for him. How necessary then
that he should select with care the one
upon whose intelli gence, experience,
and integrity depends the making of a
contract that is to bind him for fifteen
or twenty years, or even, perhaps, for
life.
The undersi gned has for eleven years
represented among Ei Paso people the
largest and best lite insurance company
on earth. He understands the business
b tier than any one else in the CITY.
