M. Keener and J. D. Albright COM
menced their labors last week, and

month, as there is much to be done
Due to a misunderstanding of the
basis of valuation. Boone count. s
assessment has fallen off a total of
about $Sn, 900. and this must be
corrected as far as possible. In its
instructions TO the assessor the

property be valued at fill half its

property y half what they had been
assessing it at; which was really
half or less Of it's real value. These
figures in some instances are ridicu-
lousy low, especially on | We stock,

MAS TRUCK MAKES
SPLENDID RECORD,

One of the most interesting results OF
the recent endurance contest held by
the STAR was the proving of the effi-
eiency of the modern commercial We
hlcle in a long grind. 1t was not sur
prising that many of the touring cars
and runabouts should pull through the
test with perfect scores. but that heavy
trucks should attempt to go oven the
sam hard course V as hardly expected.
Nevertheless, the Jersey Motor Car
company placed their big Mais truck,
carrying a heavy load, in the contest,
and brought the truck through after
making a splendid road record, The
crew were held UP at place, owing
TO striking d water break, but the dam
age caused by this accident was quickly
repaired, and the car finished most
.cre1itably.

Tabernacle on Pullman Avenue Can

Again last night the tabernacle on Pullman avenue was filled to over flowing by attendants at the evan |selistie services being held there and there is talk of securing a larger Itent or arranging an addition to the present one.
 Rev. Moffatt Rhodes preached the
 ermon last evening from Rev. 3-16, and his discourse was one of the best yet heard at t meetings. Three professed faith following the sermon. and the meeting was a very success ful one.
 There is a splendid and growing interest in the meetings and the promoters are agreeab!y surprised at the interest manifested by the large number of church people of the city, as we'll as those who do not number membership with the churches of the city.
 The evenings are cool, the singing is good, the seats comfortable and the sermons the best-an inducement to accept, the cordial invitation Of the church workers to attend these meetings.
