LADIES' READING CIRCLE

The Ladies Reading Circle held
their last meeting Of the season at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Tul-
lar, Friday evening, April 2S. The
spacious rooms ef their home, one
particularly adapted to entertainment
on a large scale, and on this evening,
bore evidence that the event was to
be Dutch in character. The charming
hostess, assisted by the Circle officers
and entertainment committee receiy-
ed their members and guests pre-
senting each with a Dutch cap which
was worn throughout the evening
Then the good time began and lasted
long and late. An exceptionally inter-
esting program was rendered during
the evening. The address OF vel
come was happily worded by the re-
tiring president, Mrs. D. Bernard,
who was followed by Mesdames w
F. Powell and c.. L. Spaulding in a
pretty duet, responding to an encore
with another which rivaled the first
per on Our Obligation to the Neither
lands The hit of the evening was
"a Dutch dialect rendering of Mary
Had a Little Lamb by Mrs Cross
who responded to her encore with a
Dutch song. Mrs. W. n. Powell gave
a remarkably able and interesting
talk On "The bikes and Canals Of
Holland" Mrs Lundquist and Mrs
Farrell rendered a beautiful German
song "Liches Bite" Gove's Request1
which was thoroughly enjoyed, the
encore being responded to with .tDie
Wacht am Rhine" Germany's nation
I al song. A geographical contest fol
lowed the program. Tables Of num-
bered articles representing Dutch and
German countries, rivers, cities, peo-
pie, etc, were placed about the rooms
and fast for half hour. The prize, a
small silver stein, which MIR. Farrell
had kindly presented to the Circle,
was awarded to Miss Clara Hanson,
who with three others of her asso-
ciate teachers showed perfect cards.
The supper was genuinely Dutch,
served by four pretty Dutch capped
maids, found great favor in the eyes
! and palates of all present The place
cards were in the form of Dutch
shoes and bore Dutch scenes sketch
ed in water colors. By each plate was
found a tulip, the national flower OF
Holland. Response to roll call was
funny Dutch stories. The Circle has
spent an exceedingly prosperous and
profitable year. The work has been
on Norway, Sweden and Holland and
many social as well as studious hours
have been passed. The Circle has
not been wholly selfish in its work
having sold Red Cross stamps, pro
ceeds given to the Anti tuberculosis
association The following able Of
fcers were elected for the coming
year: Mrs. W. N. Powell, Pres; Mrs
"A. A. Ayers, Vice Pres; Mrs. A. E

Tuesday at Conway, in Faux
ner county, Wednesday at Nor
rilton, Conway county, Thursday
at Fayetteville, Washington
county, Friday at Bentonville,
Benton county, Saturday at
Huntsville, Madison county, and
will meet next Tuesday at Nash
vile, Howard county.
Commissioner Gates says it is
a mistake to think they are
meeting with such intense oppo-
sition everywhere, since they find
the people as a rule ready and
willing to do the right thing. No
actual raises are being made in
these counties, only notices be-
ing given that raises will be
made.
Take Faulkner county, for an
example" said Commissioner
Gates. "That county pays to the
state in the various funds a to-
tai of $16,621.5O, and receives
from the state, in school tax
alone, the sum of $18, 680.42,
showing a net balance in its ia
vor Of $2,O58.92. Similar condi-
tions exist in Conway, Madison,
Montgomery, Newton, Stone,
Van Buren, and other counties
they receive from the state more
than they pay in taxes, while
many of the poorer counties,
pay much more than they re-
ceive. There is manifestly some
thing wrong there.
"The assessor in Faulkner
county made a splendid assess
ment of personal property, ex-
cepting merchandise, moneys
and accounts ordinarily assessed.
The merchandise was assessed
at a miserably low figure, only
$4,000 for the whole town of
Conway, when there are two
merchants in the town, who car
ry that much stock. The Board
added about 100000. The as
SCISSOR is expected to assess real
estate, but he has been leaving it
to the Board. There was nc
reason why the assessments
should not have been amicably
adjusted in the county, but no
effort was made to do so. For
political reasons row was
raised about it, and when the
county court set aside the raises
made by the Equalizers, a mud
die was created which the Com
mission is now trying to
straighten out.
I'm the city Of Conway, the
real estate is assessed at $780,
900, while the smaller town Of
Monticello is assessed at $3.50, 900.
The river bottom lands in Faulk-
ner county are assessed at a low
er rate than any other county on
the river, Notwithstanding the
fact that the land is very SINH
lar in all the counties. It's hot
tom lands have been assessed at
$40 and $12 and acre, while Pu-
laski and Polk assess at $15 an
acre, and Crawford as high as
$40. There should be more
nearly a uniformity, so that
there may be no discriminate ~
in favor of the taxpayers OF airy

practically along the major axis of
the cultivated part of this county.
The interests of the five cities of
this valley are one and identical, al
though from geographical reasons
Holtville and Calexico can not be on
the road from east to west Neverthe-
less, what is of benefit to the valley
helps them. The road which would be
of greatest benefit to this valley
would, as | view it, run from Yuma to
Brawley, then from Brawley to Ell Cen
We can rest assured that if the argu-
ment be raised against this route that
it is longer than a route from Braw-
ley along the west side of Salton Sea
to India and on to Los Angeles; that it
will be but a short time before the ar
gument is made that there is no sense
in dipping south to Brawley when a
road can be built, direct from Man,
moth to Indio, following the east side
and looking at the matter solely from
the viewpoint of a traveller other than
an Imperial Valley man and it would
seem there is no argument whatsoever
in any road which is headed for Mecca
in leaving the straight course which
lies along the east side of the sea.
What we all want is to have as many
miles of this road as possible run
through our irrigated lands, so that
tourists will not, as some of them now
do, base their ideas of Imperial Val
ley on what they see during the time
the overland stops at Imperial juno
ton.
AS TO comparison of grades, costs,
etc, between the road to Campo and
to Mecca it must be remembered that
considered as county proposition,
most of our climb on the Campo road
is over by the time We reach the coun-
ty line, where as by the Mecca route
that town itself is 1913 feet below sea
level. The question of grades is there
fore one OF no consequence. But to
look at it in a broader way, the grade
is somewhere and has to be met some
where, and why should an lmperialite
who makes up his mind to take his
family away from the summer heat
be willing, if he is unfortunate enough
to have to depend on horses for his
trip, to spend say four days travel
ing across the desert when he can
get ont of it in one day? Los Angeles
has an ak to grind; so has San Diego.
Is Imperial Valley without any ideas
of her own?

STILL MORE ARMAMENT
PLANNED FOR GERMANY

BERLIN, Dec 19.-The Morocco
crisis and the more recent disclosures
of the imminence of war with England
during the summer, as we'll as the
present belief that England is merely
seeking an opportunity to war with
Germany, has given rise to a feeling
that there shall be a more rapid in
crease OF the navy. In response to
the statements that such a movement
would be like shaking a red rag in the
face of John Bull, the Cologne Peoples
Gazette says: 1T is nobody's business
but Germany's if the government de-
cides to build more warships, and die
tation in this will not be tolerated"
The movement is crystallizing very
slowly, and it is doubtful if much will
be said about it before the elections
on January II, owing to the bitter op-
position of the Socialists who attrib-
ute the entire war batting" to the
activity of the cannon and armor.
