Parkton, Sept. 1O.-The pro-
tracted meeting closed at the
M. E. church Monday night, no
accessions to the church reported
as yet. Or. Dunaway is preach
ing at the Baptist church this p.
m. and will fill his regular ap-
pointment Sunday at IL.
Excessive rains have damaged
cotton considerably. The first
bale of new cotton of the season
was sold here today by ]. K.
Currie, price 13c. This is a rather
low market, but we trust to the
rise.
Mr.. C. D. Williamson came in
from his farm in lower Cumber-
land today and brought with him
some of the largest ears of corn
that have been exhibited in our
town yet, one ear measuring Is
inches in length and several fine
ears some with 20 rows of cucn
around and weighing as high as
2 lbs. per ear. He says that. he
mas 10 acres of this fine corn ur
in the neighborhood of so bush
els per acre. Some say it will
yield more Than that, but this is
good enough. This corn is Of the
Shaw variety, but he says it ha:
been improved and is now known
as the Hughes corn. This is /;
record-breaker for corn in thi:
section, but cotton is seeing {
bad time. The wet weather ha:
rotted the cotton in the bolls bad
ly and unless the sun shines NOR
tor the next few weeks it is like
ly to be cut badly.

kAkAAkO CHILDREN
HAVE BEACH OUTING

Juvenile kakaako went swimming
yesterday, and the passershv near the
public baths, Waikiki, could see P w
Rider Of the kakaako Mission sitting
on the bank like a chicken whose brood
of young ducks has just fallen into the
horse trough.
1t was the last outdoor celebration Of
the kakaako kids before school opens.
and Mr.. and Mrs Rider made il mem
orable one, An even one hundred
youngsters were packed into the special
ear that came to the door for them at
Ealf-paSt nine IN the morning and
brought them home at haIf-past three
III the afternoon.
Twenty EaTioualjries were represent
ed in the little army. and all found the
same degree OF delight in the amuse-
ments and lunch that mad been prepared
for them. About fifty more were ex-
pected in the party, but the St. Louis
College opened yesterday and they were
pupils there.
Mr.. Rider took & jaunt through his
bailiwiek just before the ear started
and picked up all the youngsters that
he could find. In consequence a great
many were in varying stages of dis
array, but all were equally happy.

County Clerks Feel Bad

County clerks in this state are not
entitled personally to half of the natur-
alization fees, but must pay them into
the county treasury, according to an
opinion rendered by the attorney gen.
eral. The opinion says that in Utah,
where the supreme court recently de-
cided these fees belonged personally to
the clerk, there is different constitu-
tional provision and different laws gov
ern.
In. another decision the attorney
general says that where work of the
state bureau Of inspection is delayed
because the county books have not
been posted up to date, the board can
not employ extra help as inspectors,
but the county commissioners I'M
doubtedly have the power to authorize
the employment of clerks to post books
and prepare the same for proper in
spection and checking"

Value of a Woman, 5000

Though juries have been known to
award as much as $4,000 for loss of a
feminine arm, jury in Judge Cleland's
court at Chicago has allowed only 5000
for a whole woman.
The woman's husband, Remi B. J.
De Beule, janitor, expressed satisfac-
ton and said that was full value. He
had sued Charles Albrecht. a coal
teamster, for alienation of affections.
Neither Albrecht nor Mrs. De Beule
was in court and it was explained that
they had skipped out.

When the enumerator called at one of

we are not of the world. When
each woman of this institution took the

ton the much-desired information was

The Quincy Quill Explains Baseball

The Quincy baseball team went to
Ephrata the other day and were appar-
emily soundly thrashed. At least one
might think so, after carefully reading
the following description of the struggle
by the editor Of the Quincy Quill:
"As everyone knows, baseball is
played diagonally on square patch OF
ground, with sandbags at each of its
corners. A batter stands on one Of
the bags, knocks the ball out into the
field and then runs around the square
to his final starting place. The Quincy
boys kept the Ephrata boys doing this
nearly all the time. Occasionally, when
the Ephrata boys would get tired, the
Quincy boys would run around few
times, but only few times, as this is
one very tiresome feature of the game,
especially in warm weather, and in this
way the Quincy boys were decidedly
successful, keeping the Ephrata boys
almost continuously running around
the square. Spectators say it was
almost too easy the way the Quincy
boys put it over their opponents.
'One enterprising Ephrata boy
started to keep track of the runs made
by the teams, but it seems they had a
big fire in Ephrata short time back
and burned up large quantity of plain
paper, so the score could only be ap-
proximately told as so many, which
seems to be fair figure.
"A return game has not yet been
decided on"

based on actual valuation. The actual
value OF all taxable property in Wash
ington is 1888, 733, 1888, while the
assessed valuation is only S790,431,-
1875, or less than half as much. Thus
while the average tax levy is 31.62
mills, the levy, if based on actual
valuation, would be only 1889 mills.
Property is assessed at only about 40
per cent of its value. This percentage
varies in different counties. Chehalis
county, with the apparently high levy
of 1880 mills on the assessed value, is
really below the average, with only
1929 mills on the actual valuation.
Adams county has the lowest rate Of
levy, both on assessed and on actual
value, the assessed rate being 2O.25
mills, which is a rate of 7.oo mills on
the actual value. The total amount Of
taxes levied in 1909 in this state was
$24,993,876.33.

The lumber industry is enjoying a
highly prosperous season for 1910, and
for once, when operations are going on
full blast, the lumbermen are not up
against car shortage. The yards all
through the northwest, on both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
seem to be we'll stocked with cars,
Seattle having an average Of 1000 cars
in the Northern Pacific yards, while the
Great Northern is receiving an average
of 200 cars a day. There will prob
ably be plenty of cars until the wheat
shipments begin, at which time there
is always a dearth of rolling stock while
the big inland crop is being moved.
