New Law In Effect.

Beginning with this year, the amended
law regarding assessments goes into et-
feet. Since 1909, under the old law, as
SCISSORS began their work the first OF the
year and were allowed until July lst to
complete II. Under the amended law
the assessors will not start their work un-
til April lst, but they must be through at
the same time as formerly. This change
in the law was made in the interest ofthe
farmers, who felt that an injustice was
being done them in that they were being
assessed at the beginning Of the year for
hay and grain stored up for use in feeding
stock during the winter months. Now
that the change has been made the great
er part OF this feed will have been dis
posed OF.
Aside from the change in the time for
making assessments, the only change OF
any importance made in the tax laws by
the legislature is the ruling concerning
the assessment of bank stock. Just as
before the banks are required to submit a
list OF their stockholders together with a
statement Of the amount OF stock held by
each person. However, the amended
law allows the stockholder to Offset his
bank stock with liabilities Of any kind.
In case man held bank stock to the
amount Of 81 900 and owed another man
or company an account Of 81 900 the two
would balance.

"We've taught him to put money in that

The gentleman handed the elephant
half dollar, and, sure enough, he took it
in his trunk and placed it in the box high
out OF reach.
"Well, that is very extraordinary, as
tonishing, truly" said the green one,
opening his eyes. "Now, let's see him

tains not only the respect but the good
will OF "the other side"

in helpingto establish records for depend
ent men who wore The gray and the wid-
ows of such who seek pensions Be-
sides, il secures inter-communication be-
tween friends Of the long ago whose iu-
quiries are printed gratuitously.

ings. II is one Of the most creditable

the fashion of the grandmotheriy kind.

prayers, just before retiring, and little
Jimmie vociferated his petitions to the
heavenly throne in voice that could
have Jeen heard mile. He was telling
the divine providence what he wanted
for Christmas, and his enthusiasm in the
cause got on the slightly older brothers
nerves.
