County Auditor has just made
a most remarkable record in connec-
tion with his work on the county
board of equalization, and received
notice from the state tax commission
that not%a single item of the personal
property assessment of this county
would be changed, After the assess
ments were received from the various
town boards, Mr.. Ware spent sconsid-
cradle time in digesting them and
computed just what changes were
necessary to make them equal.
These changes were adopted by the
county board, and the valuations as
thus fixed proved entirely satisfactory
to the state commission. The valua-
lions were just slightly under the
valuations fixed by the commission,
but SO small that they made no
change. Other counties were raised
and thus some saving was made to
the taxpayers of this county.

= lost, the problem in the
South was the care of the old sol
diers who were not able to care for
themselves, and who had no one to
care for them.
Death has taken nearly two-thirds
of the boys of the Sos" but there
are still goodly number of them to
be looked after.
Each State in the South is, appar-
emily doing this to the best of it's
ability.
Recently, one of the inmates of a
Soldiers Home, wrote a letter in
which he asked this question.
Wouldn't the States save money if
they abolished these homes, dis
charged the expensive officials and
boards whose salaries are seventy
five per cent, almost, OF the appro-
priation for the care OF the inmates.
and divided the money among the
beneficiaries?
And why wouldn't that plan work,
in the very large majority of cases?
If you have ever been to one of
those Soldiers Homes, North or
South, and if you are Of on inquir-
ing mind, prone to look below the
surface Of things, haven't you been
smitten with the dreariness of it
all?
Is there anything more pitiable
than the aimless wandering about of
old men whose days are measured
by the rising bell, meal time, pray
ers and bedtime?
On visitors day you will see old
wives, with their little offerings Of
home things for chin"
You will see children who are
''too poor to care for father" but
anxious to still make him feel he
is part of the family life.

to give these old chaps, pro rata,
