Arrowsmith tried hot water bags

that he possessed q stomach.

Nobody ever did anything at the
Arrowsmith house but sit around and
discuss Arrowsmith's affiction and
read dyspepsia cures.
When Aunt Melissa came to visit
the family was much concerned at

tightful evening relating his sufferings
to her and describing his hopeless at

Arrowsmith sroaned hollowly. You
don't understand" he explained, how
serious a case mine is! Why, I've
consulted some Of the best specialists
In the country!"
Aunt Melissa made such a nuisance
Of herself about the peppermints that
after dinner that night, Arrowsmith
ate two to get rid of her.
"There!" cried Aunt Melissa half an
hour later, when she caught Arrow
smith laughing. "You feel better. don't
you?"
"Just 1t the moment" replied her
nephew. severely, II have no pain.

Whether or not It was time for his
dyspepsia to stop, anyhow the family
Will never know, but the fact remains
that Arrowsmith's dyspepsia waa
quickly cured. But Arrowsmith has
never forgiven his Aunt Melissa for
depriving him Of his one topic Of CON
vsrsation.-C Chicago Daily News.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-10-01

The shortstop position on the Sox,
Cubs, Giants and Athletics offers a
wider field for discussion, and more
chance for difference of opinion,
than any other station on the four
teams.
Plenty of argument can be dug up
on which to base an assertion that
Weaver is superior to Bridwell, or
Fletcher has it on Barry, and vice
versa. Consider these qualifications
and then see if you can find a shade.
Buck Weaver, Sox shortstop extra
ordinary, is one of the "spottiest"
ballplayers now drawing pay. On one
ball he will make sensational play,
one that seemed impossible of ac-
complishment. On the next, an easy
chance, he may commit a boot, or
peg the pill against the grandstand
But his sensational plays are s.
frequent that they easily overshadow
the WOODY ones. Weaver plays more
like Mike Doolan, the Philadelphia
wonder, than any other shortstop in
baseball. He is equally good on balls
hit back of second base and over to-
ward third Because of the latter ac-
complshment Harry Lord is enabled
to hug the third sack and knock down
smashes through that territory.
Viewers main weakness
about his only one-is on ground
balls, the smashes hit straight at him.
He shows a tendency to everyday
these, but is rapidly overcoming the
failing and is gauging the bounds
with commendable accuracy.
Throwing is his strong card. Buck
can shoot at first base from any posi-

Report Of the Minnesota Tax
Commission #..

The Minnesota Tax Commission
has recently made its Third Bien-
NAL Report to the Governor and Leg
islature Of the State Of Minnesota.
1t is q we'll bound volume Of 813 pag-
es, containing numerous tables and
diagrams relating to State, County
and Municipal taxation, property
values, comparative cost Of MAIN
tanning County and Municipal gov
ernments, and treats the whole sub
iect Of taxation in Minnesota in a
thorough and exhaustive manner.
Recent statements in regard to
taxes, excessive valuations and ex-
travagance in the City Of Willmar,
made by irresponsible parties who
have little regard for the truth and
much regard for sensational misre-
presentation, render it advisable that
certain extracts from this report of
the Tax Commission be given to the
public in order that it may be read
lily seen and understood how little
cause the taxpayers of Willmar have
for complaint and how much better
off the City Of Willmar is than many
other cities and villages in Mime
sofa.
The Tax Commission, in order tc
draw comparisons that are of any
value, has classified cities and Will

On page 3l9 appears a compare
tive table showing the true tax rate
for municipal and school purposes in

ent municipalities runs as low as Log
mills in Richfeld to 1871 mills in
East Grand Forks. The average rate
in all "a municipalities is lO.1l

age. To be exact only 1.59 mills
above the average. A. .s

The average percentage SIS 3.3 per

It would seem from the above la
.bles that Willmar is at q slight dis
advantage in comparison with the
average shown in the other munich

Of comparison published in the re-
port show Willmar to such an adyan-

is only 81 per cent or 8 per cent less
