School Land REIMBURSEMENT

The members of the county
board started the latter part of
last week on tour of the county
to re-appraise the school land.
The law requires a re-appraise-
ment every five years. For some
reason the last appraisement was
annulled and the lease holders
are still paying interest on the
appraisement made prior. There
is said to be leases on several
pieces of school land that does
not cost the holder over six cents
an acre per year that would
readily rent for fifty cents Ito a
dollar, The work of re-appraise.

as the appraisers will have to
appraise each 40 acres separate.

be knocked out, but it it is some
thing of this nature may be

sessions will be rather busy with
other matters and will not have
time to devote to revenue legis-
lation that the subject demands.
1t is one thing that cannot be
handled lightly and hastely as

item in a revenue law must be
carefully scrutinized for errors,

The Lodi Church Case.

A number of the citizens of
Lodi are attending court as wit
nesses or interested spectators
in the church trial that has gain
ed some notoriety from former
trials had at Galloway, an appeal
being taken to the district court.
We notice a large number of the
witnesses are young Ipeople. 1t
appears from the statement made
lby the lawyers in the opening of
the case that Young Peoples
Organization of the Christian
Endeavor had been holding their
meetings in the Evangelical
church and during the time held
socials by which a fund was
created. After purchasing song
books and Bible for the use of
the congregation the trustees
agreed with the Young Peoples
Society to aid in certain repairs
OF the church. The officers of
the church and the society did
not agree upon the kind of inn
provements to be made and moth
| ing was done, The result of the
controversity the Young Peoples
Christian Endeavor Society
changed place of meeting
to another church. The church
then proceeded to organize a
Keystone League to be governed
by the rules of the church and
demanded that the treasurer of
Young Peoples Society that had
formerly held its meetings in
their building turn the funds
over to the Keystone League.
This the treasurer refused to do
and suit was brought to COMPEL
him to do it. The old society
which holds the funds is said tc
be in prosperous condition with
SO or 90 members, while the Key
stone League has very few.
The prosecutors are men OF
mature years and it is surprising
that they would let their preju
dice carry them so far from the
teachings of the Bible, which
they are presumed to take TO
their guide as to go to law owe,
so small a matter.
The young People, whethe
t they were justified in their cours'

to Jones & Smiths. I have an account there, you know. We'll, I couldn't find thing would look at for less than twice what I was able to give, and as it was one o'clock and I was cross and worried and worn out, I decided to go into their lunch room and treat myself to something dainty and refreshing, just to cheer me up.
 Well, my dear, it was too fortunate. It had looked like rain that morning, and had put on that old green skirt--you remem- Der, part of the suit had made to order last autumn.
 well, as luck would have 1t, 1t was new waitress who took my order. She was awkward and nervous, and as she was plac- ing my tea on the table she stumbled and spilled the whole thing, cup and all, right into my lap
 1T didn't even wait to eat the lunch. I went right down to the office and com plained. The men were extremely polite when they found that I had an account there. Besides, they could see that the skirt was of expensive material, and some how-I'm sure didn't say so--but somehow they seemed to be under the impression hat it had been made last spring, Anyhow, told them that considered it good for an other seasons wear--which was true, if only I hadn't been seen in 1t whole season

Dress to Match the Hair

The auburn haired girl has long been
 advised by her modiste to affect the pc
 culiar golden brown tints which match her
 Titan locks when purchasing new gowns and accessories. But now comes the fad of matching the hair throughout ones
 entire toilet, and it is taken up with en-
 thusiasm even by the "mouse-colored
 maids"
 Golden hair can be very prettily matched,
 though care must be taken to avoid any
 really bright yellow, like buttercups or marsh l marigolds, for they kill the gold in the hair. For corn-colored tresses mourning hat trimmed with yelowish fur on velvet, and
 somewhere upon it d dull gold buckle, is quite the thing.
 Old ladies with white gray hair have realized how immensely becoming to them are bonnets of. precisely the same degree of moonlight gray or pepper-and-salt One I girl of a prevailing tint of soft brown i'll 1 eyes, hair and sun-tanned skin is always l symphony in old ivory. Her hat, with
 sweeping feather tulle stole, suede gloves, l with shoes and stockings en suite, and gown l of ivory voile, all melt into the tones of her
 natural coloring like rich carving of an- \ tique ivory.

Successor to Ping Pong.

Of the several varieties of tennis which have followed in the wake of the tri- nmphal march of ping-pong, the very lat est and most popular is called "Splropoio It is even becoming a rival sn fickle pub lie favor with it's progenator, tennis. ls does not require so large space for good game and when the weather inter- feres with the ground conditions for tennis or golf "Spiropo!o" is a fine substitute.
 It is played by two players, one on either side of a tall pole, from which depends tennis ball at the end of a long string, the object of each player being to hit the ball with his tennis racquet so as to wind the string around the pole. Like it's parent, ping-pong, it looks easy to play, but is really remarkably difficult, and provides an exhilarating excitement impossible to realize from the mere watch ing of the play. But once tried the mi crobe of play fastens upon one's soul and will not be shaken off. It is in high favor as a country house pastime.

How Clever Woman Got a Skirt for Nothing.

They entered the street car en route to the matinee with swish of silk petticoats and happy in the possession of the latest creations in French millinery and this seasons models in feather muffs and boas
 What do you think of my skirt?'' asked one of them, glancing down at an affair in fancy novelty of the latest cut which she wore
 "A dream,' replied her companion. tI have been admiring 1t all along You are certainly growing extravagant dear.'
 A look of satisfaction spread over the other woman's countenance. She lowered her voice impressively, but not enough to prevent the other passengers in that end of the car from hearing. Tt didn't cost me a cent" she said.
 "A present! You lucky mortal. I wish I had half a dozen sisters, cousins and aunts to give me lovely things once in awhile!''
 ''Not a present, either Just the luckiest chance in the world,'' replied the owner of the skirt with increasing satisfaction in her voice. You see, I went out Monday to buy a skirt. I wanted something rather smart for an afternoon--something like this, in fact; but had been so liberal with my other clothes that really didn't see how could afford one. I spent the entire morning try ing to pick up bargain, and finally went

the delicate materials of the evening gown. 55.[ $s
 Lace wrags are not fashionable unless made of the most costly meshes. Conse- quently the fashion grows smarter all the time, for the cost of lace coat or cloak is really beyond the limit of most incomes. Rich lace, trimmed with fur, is such an epit- ome of wealth and exclusive taste as it were that it is small wonder the fashion is considered all that is desira ble. Both coats and cloaks for evening wear are modish, and besides the two more or less regulation shapes there are several others which are most attractive. The circular cloak is wider than ever around the bottom, and one style is made with a long end that is thrown across the shoulder, giving very theatrical effect. Then there is revival Of the tri- angular wrap with pointed hood and tas- sels, but made fuller than 1t was some years ago. The white or light colored cloths are more fashionable for this purpose than any other materials. The very palest blue, trimmed with silver braid and black ribbon and with silver tassels, is smartest of all. Of course, this style of wrap is not for a moment to be classed with the other opera cloaks 1t is simply one of the new fashions, and as such is attractive, smart and most original, besides being comparatively mex pensive, Both coats and cloaks are thought smart for evening wear, but the evening coat must not be confounded with the carriage afternoon wrap, so called, though 1t is made like a coat. The evening coat is much wider and longer and more eIaborately trimmed than the carriage garment, indeed, at first sight, 1t appears very clumsy and heavy with it's deep cape of lace, its bands of fur, it's wide sleeves and width of skirt, and yet in reality 1t does not weigh more than the smaller coat of cloth trimmed with lace and fur that Is worn as wrap with the elaborate light cloth or velvet costume

Inyalid's Gossip Book.

For the 'sshut in '' nothing appeals more keenly than "a gossip book.'' This takes the form of sort of general diary, ill which each visitor to the sick-room is supposedto report on one line piece of news that he or she thinks will be of interest to the invalid. It may be nothing more than the record that there are some interesting new kittens in the cellar or that little Tommy Shocks fell down and scraped the skin off his nose. 1t keeps the invalid in touch with the outer world, and does away with that particularly bad element in a sick-room-too much conyersa- tion.
 When the 'tshut in'' is left alone such a book affords untold satisfaction, it's terse history of events furnishing the pleasantest food for thought. The cover can be gayly decorated with holly berries, painted in water colors in order to preserve the Christ mas sentiment, but the book itself can be most inexpensively arranged from loose leaves of paper. It's contents are more val uabIe than the conformation.

already-and that it belonged to q suit which had cost me $9O, and that I thought they should at least make It good to me with another skirt. And it ended with my going back and getting this dream of a skirt for nothing. What do you think of that for Iuck?"
 'But,' protested the other woman, whose face had grown grave as she listened, "didn't the poor girl have to stand the cost of that skirt!"
 "Oh-hm-well now, never thought ok that. Perhaps she did have to pay some thing; but of course they would never have charged her with the whole price of that skirt. And, then, it was entirely her own awkwardness."
 ''Of course, if she spoiled your skirt, her friend began, thoughtfuly.
 .'Oh my dear, that was the best part of it,' exclaimed the piece of selfishness in- carnate, with a jubilant laugh, 'The other skirt wasn't spoiled at all. You see, it was only tea. And after 1t was sponged of and pressed one could never tell the difference.V
