 The assessor was in this (Walker) township on the 7th inst. He was do- ing his best to have fair estimate put upon property listed for taxation It was funny, and at the same time quite disgusting, to listen to the eX- cuses rendered by some for a low rate of assessment. Some wanted to dodge themselves, but were anxious that the property of the "other fel- low" be raised in point of value. It is a shame that all citizens are not will ling to divide the burdens of taxation.
 A 50 per cent rate of assessment should be honestly rendered by all taxpayers. This amount would in no sense be burdensome, if it could be, borne by all. Oh, that all the asses sors could get a fair assessment Of taxable property in all the statel

be very kind and give me a good

not let me sleep In the barn.

So We walked down to the frst tee
and poked the ball about nifty yards
into a brush pile. Brother-in-law
Bill watched me closely. He looked
at me sourlike. "Uh-h," he said, "let
me take one whack at a ball"
So Bill built up a pile OF sand
about two inches high. He placed
the ball and grabbed my driver. He
gripped II like he would Skinny
