oughly ,reorganixe football at Har-

Of the eleven which defeated Yale in

leaders. both coaches and players, of
the teams of the last II years, and at
this meeting, scheduled for Decem-

1t is the opinion of Forbes. as we'll
as that Of most Harvard men, that
the failures Of the past few years
have been due to the erratic coaching
system. Unlike Yale, where con-

today began the distribution of prob
ably the largest Christmas gift ever
made by an American concern to the
workers in it's employ. The aggregate
amounted to s250,000 and was dis

among the recipients were about 500
men and women. not now in the en-
ploy of the company. but who were
at the beginning of the year and had
been laid off for one reason or an
other.
The money was distributed on the
ratio of time worked during the year
and averaged about per cent OF the
yearly wage. The amount distributed
this year was considerably in excess
of that of any previous year. partly
because the company has about 1909
more employees than it had year
ago. and partly because of the UNI
usually prosperous conditions that
have prevailed.

Raising Taxes in Howard.

The county Board of Equalization
of Howard county has recently rails
ed the valuation of:realty about $780,
600, and at their recent session adopt
ed the following resolutions. con-
cerning important matters that come
up for settlement in every county:
"WHEREAs, 1t has been the policy
of the State Board of Equalization in
theFequalization of the value of prop
erty in the state of Missouri to place
the value of farming lands in How
ard county at about One-third it's real
value, the value of all personal prop
erty Except money, notes and bonds)
at about one-third the cash value,
and the value of bank and other cor
poration stock at about seventy per
cent of it's par value. Consequently
those whose property consists of
money, notes and bonds feeling ag-
grieved at such policy, have failed to
give in to the county assessor prop
erty to be listed under the head of
money, notes and bonds Now
therefore be it
"REsOLvED lst. That we, the
County Board of Equalization of
Howard county believe that the
policy of said state board to be unjust
to those who have property to be
listed under the head of money,
notes and bonds;' and that if said
property holders will hereafter give
into the County Assessor of Howard
county all property they hold under
said head, that we as a County Board
stand pledged to reduce said asses
ments to sixty per cent for next year.
"REsoLvED, End, That we depre-
cate the practice of those persons,
who have their money loaned in the
name of banks and then have the
banks assign said notes to the owner
for the purpose of evading taxation,
and that hereafter the County Board
will make dilligent search for said
property and if any be found not
given in to the assessor for the pur-
pose of taxation, that the tax on said
property will be trebled according to
the law"

About the Worlds Fair City.

There are 495 restaurants in st.
Louis.
The distance from Union Station
to the Worlds Fair,site is nearly
4 miles.
In the opinion of President
Francis, the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition will be the last truly
international exposition the world
will ever witness.
The talk of small park in front
of Union Station is about to take
a definite form. 1t is to occupy
one city block.
When President Francis raped
for order at p. m. on April 80,
he used a gavel once used by
George Washington on the laying
of the corner stone of the first pub.
lie building in Washington.
The log cabin that General Grant
helped to build, and in which he
once made his home, has been re-
moved from Old Orchard, and now
occupies commanding position on
the Fair grounds.
The Government will have at the
Worlds Fair the largest bird cage
ever known. 1t will be 200 feet
long, 80 feet wide, So feet high
and will contain 1000 birds from
all parts of the world.
Union Station is the finest and
largest structure of it's kind in the
world, and at the time of it's erec-
tion it was believed to be large
enough to meet the demands upon
it for all time to come. Several
times, though, in its brief history,
it has been taxed to it's utmost
capacity, and then couldn't hold
the crowds that We're trying to gel
into it. The crowds that will at
tend the dedieation n ceremonies will
undoubtedly far exceed any former
one, and thus emphasize the neces
