Il Dallas county, Tex, on June II,
1911:
There is one very important item In
CONNECT ton with this county that ] would
cali your attention TO- and that is the re-
duclion u taxes for the past 1--WE years,
or. rather. since the building OF good
goads IN this county The value Of prop
trty has increased 10 such an extent that
lha rate has been reduced from ~ cents in
100 10 c. cents 10 1910. or a reduction In
axes Of 81 per cent. although we have
issued bonds IN the sum OF $4,000 In the
meantime.
There IL one thing certain. and that
Is that We must have money for road
building and that this money must be
raised by taxation Whether we adopt
the pay as you go" policy and build
the roads only as fast as the money
can be raised by taxation or issue
bonds aud thus borrow money IN large
quantities and build the roads now Is
Il question for each state, county or
township to decide for itself. Ia max
inc this decision that method should
be adopted which viii give the quick.

den upon the individual taxpayer.

 A custom which has now disappear ed used to afford much amusement to the guests at the banquet on lord may or's day. In the household of the lord mayor there. existed the offices of jester and city laureate. On the day of the feast huge quaking custard was made in a dish as large as a bath ing machine. It was the duty of the laureate, clad in official garb, to spring from his chair into the depths of the custard, splashing the contents over the table and the nearest guests. In return for this feat the laureate was allowed to eat as much of the custard as he wished, which was probably very little.-London Tatler.

Judge Parker was declared the choice

platform, wearing a stern and rockbound
expression, and exuded a few laments

TO speak. Not many persons evinced A
strong desire 10 hear the Judge keynote

started 70 leave the hall. Thinking IL
useless to keynote to fourteen thousand
