The above verses are dedicated to
The Girl in the Moon" Not ma
ny people know that there is a girl
in the moon and l take this way of
calling attention to the fact and of
getting their thoughts out of the
groove of THE Man in the Moon, !"
whose supposed face cannot be
pictured forth with the liveliest i'm
agination. The girl in the moon,
however, needs no stretch of the i'm
agination to locate. A good pair
of eyes directed to the full moon
will distinguish her face as distinct
as the liberty head on a silver dol
lar. She appears in the lower right
hand or west side of the orb, cover
ing about one quarter of the moon S
disk. She is Gibson girl and car
ries the crown of her head back and
her chin high.

Mill Tax Only State Tax.

The state board, consisting of
Coy. Davidson, Secretary of State
Frear and state Treasurer Dahl,
has decided to order no state tax
this year except the mill tax for
school purposes
From the figures before the board
there was unexpended in the state
treasury on Oct. l 81, 537, IA. ga.
The estimated receipts for the year
1908 are 81, 1897, 40, making a total
of S.. 543, 614.64. The secretary of
state thinks, however, that the
estimated receipts are being placed
very low.
The disbursements for the coming
year will be $5,479.023, including
the $450,000 capital appropriation.
With this estimate, on Jan. l, 1909,
there will be a balance in the state
treasury of $354,000. Secretary
Frear thinks this is conservative
and believes it will be over half a
million.
The state assessment is the basis
upon which the present seven-tenths
mill tax for common school pur-
poses and the two-sevenths mill tax
for the university fund are levied
against each county and upon which
the balance in favor of or against
the county in the distribution of the
school fund is founded. Last year
Gov. Davidson not only had the
state tax RENTED, but one-half of
the mill tax

When the pale harvest moon in the stubble so
dry
Sheds her white silvery light over stubble and
sky;
When the night winds are signing and all is so
STILL
Save the crickets' sharp "chirrup the katy
dds trill;
When the night birds are flying for beetle and
moth.
And the owls gentle 'two-who" comes up
from the SOUTH
When the coon in the cornfield is gathering
gear
For his long winter sleep from the ripening ear;
And the big watermelon responds to the drum
With mellow dead punk from the finger
and thumb:
1t is then cool September which passes too
soon,
Then love to make love to 1.-The girl in the
moon"
o. girl in the moon with face wondrous fair
AS you swing in your hammock of clouds in
the air,
Tell me this: tell me now; DO you love so true,
With a love that you1l prove as I'll prove mine
the sky,
From your radiant throne from your pedestal
high,
Will you slide down beam through the soft
silvery clear,
To my arms? am waiting to rescue you here;
From the cold wintry winds Of your environs
so high,
From the damp, chilly fogs Of the clouds pass
ing by.
o! give me a smile that will answer my cry,
Or look or sign; if you will, wink your eye.
Oh! I'll build you home where the nightin-
gales song
Fills the air with it's melody all the night long;
In a deep shady grove where the jasmine vine
Blends fragrance with lavender roses and
thyme,
Where sweet peas are nodding meath southern
sky
To the peoples red bloom, where soft winds
sigh,
And humming birds fitting from flower to
flower;
OH you'll never be dull, nor a Saddening hour,
If you'll only jump down from your high eyrie:
Oh! slide down a moonbeam; Oh: come to me-
I'll catch you, II hold you, no more must you
roam
Through the cold universe. Will you come?
Will you come?
And the owl in the elm tree, SO stately and TALL
Answers back "twowho who are you?" to my
call;
The night winds make answer by signing and
moan
Through the red autumn leaves as they quietly
roam,
On heather and field, over forest and HILL
All kissed by the frost, all so somber and STILL
In the moons slvery sheen as II dances and
plays,
With the fairies, the brownies, the elins, the
fayS-
And night sounds coming up from valley and
dune
Make me turn to my love, to the girl in the
moon!
She was peeping; l saw her; she winked me
her eye;
Drew cloud Ger her face, blushed, and smiled
me good bye.

a Dozen New rork shops Owned 81
Two Brothers Not BARRIERS
Two brothers. manufacturers By
trade and utterly unacquainfed with
the harbering business have chosen
barber shops az an investment for
their surplus capital. They might
have put more money into their reg
ular business or invested il stocks.
mines or what not. but looking over
the business field IN New York they
decided that they could not do better
than so into barbering.
The brothers now OWL nearly .
dozen shops and employ about sixty
BARRIERS. Their business Al FIRST lag
IN the downtown business district
only. bur not long ago they bought
the good viii Of shop pretty sell

ployed 10 the shop would have been
glad TO buy It. but the brothers out
bid him.
Each shop owned BY these non

himself practical barber, who keeps
an eye on the business. and when the
place II crowded Yields razor or
scissors himself There Is 4 general
manager who visits an the shops

upon accounts and receipts.
Once a week the receipts AMI
checks from all the shops are taken

, tlese re whole weeks business il
put through a clearing house pro-
cess. On Saturday every body Is paid
of IN each shop, and II the receipts
III hand at any shop are not enough
for the purpose the deficit Is made up
from the head shop. Two days re-
ceipts are left IN each shop for the
payment OF weekly wages. and this
II usually enough for the purpose.
Wholesale barbering pays pretty
well because the owner OF a dozen
shops can buy supplies at the lowest
prices, and having plenty OF capital
IA able TO get favorable rates in build
ings where the shops are situated
The dozen shop concern has also
another advantage over the self-em-
pIoying barber with a single shop.
The success Of the business as .
whole Is not dependent upon local
conditions IN any one part OF the
city.
All sorts Of things happen to boost
or depress trade in an Individual
shop. but the whole dozen do not
suffer at once. II is easy also when
business slackens in one shop 10
transfer at least one barber from II
to another. where the men are rather
too busy.
II shops are near together IL Is
possible at a specially busy hour "a
call barber from a nelghboring
shop. Profits are not great IN ans
one shop. for rents are high and
the BARRIERS are well paid. The shop
manager gets better wages than the
BARRIERS. The business grows IN a
natural and healthy fashion. When
an opportunity occurs 10 bug out .
