Little Willie Was There.

Mr.. and Mrs Jones and their little
boy of six on leaving party they had
been to thought they would go the
nearest way home, which led across
some fields. When nearly home they
had to cross a ditch. which, to their
surprise and horror, was flooded. They
consulted each other as to whether
they should wade through it or return
and go the other way, which meant
five mile walk. They finally decided
to wade through it, so Mrs. j. took
the little boys hand and Mr.. J. his
wifes arm andNstarted crossing. They
gradually found it deeper and deeper
until at last 1t was up to their arm
pits, when suddenly Mr.. j. exclaimed,
"Where is little Willie?" Hes here"

MAKE r YOURSELF.
Says Many Persons Here Can be
Made Happy Again.

Mauo rtdppv S6a"'
There is 80 much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent authority,
who writes for the readers Of a large
Eastern daily paper, will be highly
appreciated by those who suffer.
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion.
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle apd
take in teaspoonfull doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
It is claimed that there are few VIC
TINS of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple home made mixture. and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

Throat Trouble.


Mismaragement and Financial Trou.
bes Constantly Coming to Light.
New Hampton, Ia, is learning the
meaning of depreciation. 1t recently
found it necessary to discard the cleo
trio equipment that had been in use
but four years and put in an entirely
new equipment. For several months
it has been trying to sell the old equip
ment. which cost $4,000, but has not
yet found purchaser. It's scrap value
is Of course very small.
Fitzgerald, Ca, has apparently learn
ed in part at least the lessons that
trust" and "bust" are practically sy-
nonymous ard that in the long run it
that is the natural deduction from the
following item in the Journal of that
Bity:
Beginning with this month consum-
ers will only have until the 10th of the
month to make their settlement with
the city. Water and light will both be
cut off on the 18th of each month from
this on. Then in the future meters for
both water and light will either be
sold or rented to consumer. The city
will no longer furnish them free of
charge. The meters will either be sold
at their actual cost or will be rented
to the consumer at 25 cents each month.
nection of So will be made. and this
fee must accompany the application
for q connection"
Falls City, Neb., is learning that it is
easier to vote bonds than to sell them,
for the mayor writes that no purchaser
has yet been found for the per cent
bonds voted on July 16 to improve the
light and water plant This is a lesson
that other and larger cities are learn
ing to their sorrow, though 1t should
not be matter Of surprise where "im-
provements" involve the practical Jwip-
ing out of the present equipment,
which has not been paid for.
Hamilton. Ont, is one of many cities
that are learning that manufacturers
are curiously prone to serve their good
customers first. 1t is disappointed be-
cause Of the delay in the delivery of
the new equipment for its electric light
plant. All manufacturers know and al
low for the fact that city warrants are
apt to cash themselves slowly and that
acceptance Of supplies or machinery
often depends upon crossing the right
palm with gold. A manufacturers
agent told the writer two stories to
illustrate this.
In one case after trying for two
years to collect bill he was finally
paid in city warrants. Even then he
could cash them only by selling them
to the local political boss at discount
that more than absorbed the profits.
In this other case his firm installed
some expensive machinery in city
plant No sooner had the firms work
men left than the report came that the
machine was not working properly.
An expert was sent on to adjust 1t
After this had been repeated several
times a man approached the expert
with the remark: you've good ma
chinist, but poor politician. You'll
never get an acceptance until you've
paid the superintendent 500 and the
chief engineer $50" And he was right.

Rev. A. o. Alexander Accepts Call
to Denver.

Some weeks ago Rev. A. o. Alexan-
der of Perry, received and declined q
call to the passionate of the South
Broadway Congregational church, Den
yer, Col, intending to stay with the
church at Perry for fourth year
Last week he received from the Fourth
Avenue Congregational church, Den
yer. a call and has accepted the same.
His decision to make the change was
brought about by the fact that Mrs.
Alexander's sister Is suffering from
lung trouble and physicians advised a
change of climate. The church at Per-
ry will part with his services with great
regret, his passionate having been very
successful. He will leave about the
middle of February.

VALUATIONSINCREASE
Dodge City Property Valued
Nearly As High This Year
As Ford County Was
Last Year.

1t is expected that the railroad assess :
ments In Kansas will be 10 now 10 a
week or less and then the different
counties can figure up the total assess
ment aud determine just what the rate
of 'axation will be. The returns made
by the railroads show the valuation at
about three times what 1t was 10 1907
for the different roads. The tax com.
mission can raise or lower these figures
and great deal OF time has been spent
in an effort to determine the true value
OF the properly Of the railroads. The
commission can raise or lower the valu-
alton made by the companies and it is
believed that there will be raise of
possibly one fourth.
The totalsfur several of the townships 10
Ford county have been figured up and
show that the valuations are from five to
nine times higher than for last year.
The total valuation of taxable pro-
perty In Dodge City,, outside Of railroad
property. is $2,594,25l, about seven
times what II was last year and almost
equal to the total valuation OF the whole
county outside of the railroads last year.
The total valuation In Dodge City. last
Year was $685., 1926.
Wilburn township has reported total
valuation of 1865 ,I6i, oyer nine times as
much as last year, when tue total was
$l04,S90, The land in this township
was assessed at an average of $l7.26
per acre.
Richland townships total valuation is
$5l0,S92, about eigut and half times
what IL was reported last year.
Fairview township has reported
total valuation Of $7l6,4 about seven
times greater than last year, the total of
1907 being SlO4 ,595.
Royal township reports a total valu-
alton of $4s7, ,957, and last year 1t was
500, ,42i, so that the increase, is to an
amount five and half times greater.
1t is estimated at the county clerks
office that the rate of taxation this year
will be one per cent or under and it is
belived that the taxes will be less than
last year. There are six times as many
on the personal tax list this year as
there were last and good many who
have paid no taxes In the past will pay
a small tax this year.
A good many have been dropping in
at the court house to learn just what their
valuation had been paced at SO as to be
to go before the board of
equalization il they think their valuation
has been placed too high compared with
that Of Others.
