The taxes, which the people of this
city will pay in 1910, will be materially
higher than the taxes paid this year.
Increases in the annual levy, which
were made by the city council and the
board of supervisors, and the special
levy voted at the election last fall ac-
count for the increase The levy, which
will be paid in taxes next wear will
not be less than eighty flour mills and
it may be as high as eighty-five mills
or even trifle more. This will be an
increase of eight or nine mills over
the levy paid this year
The levy made by the city council
accounts for most of this increase. 1t
raised the levy for the fire department
from one mill to five mills, exclusive of
the new one-half mill levy for fire
mems pension fund 1t also increased
the levy for sewerage from one to two
mills, and added new half-mill levy
for polcemen's pension fund
Levy Increased Six Mills.
The levy made by the city council
for next year. was an increase of six
mills over the levy for this year. The
levy for strictly city purposes, which
was paid in taxes this year was twen-
ty-four mills. The levy made for next
year is thirty mills.
The levy made by the board of SUI
pervisors is thirteen mills for next year
compared with ten mills for this year.
Two of the three mills increase, how
ever, was voted by the people last fall
for a building for the county's insane
Levy for the County.
The board of supervisors raised three
levies, lowered two, and added an adj
ditional one exclusive of the levy for
the county insane building. 1t increased
the county fund levy from three and
one half mills to four. the levy for the
poor from seven-tenths of a mill to
one mill, the levy for bridges from
three to three and one-half mills and
it added a levy of tenth of mill
for the soldiers relief fund.
The increase in the levy for the
bridge fund is because of the unusually
high expense of maintaining the
bridges this year owing to the damage
levy made for the soldiers relief fund
running low.
| The board lowered the levy for the
general insane fund from ur-tenths
of mill to two tenths, and the levy
for the county insane was lowered by
a similar amount.
States Levy Is Lower.
| The levy made by the state is one
tenth of mill lower for next year
than it was for this year, or 3.9 com
pared with mills.
The citys school board asked fol
s74 900 for next year. This is the
same amount it received from the
taxes this year, and altho the sum has
not yet been apportioned into levy
by mills, it is presumed, because the
amounts asked for in two years are the
same, that the letvy in mills will also
be the same. This year this levy was
371s mills. 1t is also expected that the
levy for the general health, which is
made by the supervisors, and which
was one-half of a mill this year, vii
be the same next year.

The increase. in the levy means to
the owner of a home or real estate in
the city that he will have to pay next
year approximately 80 cents more for
every 500 of valuation at which his
property is assessed. On the levy this
year he paid $3.50 per every 500 of as
sessed valuation. Next year he will
have to pay $3.50 on like assessed
valuation. The increase will be 50 for
every $1,000 Of assessed valuation.

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service a new
idea. AS early as 1913 a woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an inn
portant town Of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman,
A~lexandrine de Rue. From 1923 to
l646 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire, the Neither,
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters In Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill vas placed in charge of the post.

When prominent men realize the IN

in health that Postum can bring. they
are glad to lend their testimony for

The whole family liked it so well, that

Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to it's

Troubles of People on Venus.

Inhabitants of Venus, If there r

establish units of time. Venus always

SO the planet has no day, and the
lack of a o deprives 1t OF a month.
Finally, it has no year, for it's axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
circular.
