SALOON LICENSE ASSESSMENTS
In Madison County They Are Taxed
at Face Value.

Saloon licenses in Madison county
are assessed at their face value. The
county board of equalization in ses-
sion at Madison this week maintained
this position.
William Hardwick, saloonman
from Newman Grove, appeared before
the board at Madison, complaining Of
his assessment. Mr.. Hardwick main
tanned that his license was not as
sessable property or that II assesable,
its value on assessment day should be
computed on the basis Of the month
for which 1t was still to run. The
board did not take favorable action.
Practice in the matter of assessing
saloon licenses varies. In Wayne
county they are not assessed. In
Stanton only the unexpired term is
assessed In Madison the license is
valued by the assessor according to its
face value or the license payment.

through Norfolk again at noon, re-
turning from an inspection trip to the
Lander extension and leaving Norfolk
over the Homestead line for their initial
trip over the new extension into Greg

Insects Never Existed, and viii Look

No more mosquitoes or flies in the

Burt Mapes of Norfolk has solved
the most serious problem connected
with camp comfort. He has invented
and built a portable screen dining
room which he will load onto a wagon
within the next few days and haul to
his farm north of the city where, dur
ing the summer months, he and his
family expect to enjoy the out-ofdoors.
Fly-proof and mosquito-proof, the
new portable screen dining room has
every prospect of making camp din
ners a luxury instead of a trying or
deal. Where campers used to put in
half the meal-time lifting impudent
insects from the coffee or the potatoes,
or batting at the bugs that buzzed
about the meal-time ears, they hence
forth-or at least those in Burt Mapes'
camp-will sit down to sip pink tea

The walls of the new-idea dining room
are made of fine wire netting such
