Said by the Vandalia Leader: If
noise indicates anything, Mexico's
Fourth of July celebration was a
bowling, rip-roaring success. 1t
wasn't spasmodic burst of loud
noise occasionally, but it started in
early in the morning and came to
stay all day and far into the night.
1t was the most continuous, nerve
racking noise ever heard. Every
one seemed to think it was his du-
ty to make noise. Imagine a "a
inch gun INCREASINGLY belching
forth liquid noise radiating four
miles ia every direction, and you'll
have but faint idea of Mex
ico's Fourth, But then, that's
just like Mexico she always plays
the entire limit.

Note Of Phenix School District
Will Probably Be Renewed.
Sunday School Board Meets.

At the school district meeting which
will be held at the Phenix school tomor-
row night IL is expected that the matter
OF an extra tax upon the district i'm order
to pay for the new addition which has
been built 10 the school Will be brought
up. The cost OF the new addition was
$3.50 and IN order to raise that amount
a vote upon the district was given last
year by order OF the district at Its last
annual meeting. The general opinion
OF the ma aJority of tho tax payers at
present seems 10 be TO renew the vote for
a period OF one more year. The advan-
tage gained by this move can be readily
seen when IL In remembered that there
are a number OF large buildings nearing
completion which will soon be completed
and can then be taxed and as the value
OF the new buildings Will probably be es-
timated at over $4,000 from which the
tax revenue can be CLEANED. IL is quite
probable that the matter will be allowed
TO stand for another year when the n
nancial standing OF the district can be
increased with a proportfonately smaller
tax.
