The Milford Board of Education is
publishing a notice in this paper in
which the people who have not paid
their school taxes for 1912, and few
for 1911, will be made to pay at once
This seems to be an unpleasant duty
which should not be inflicted upon the
people by the Board of Education. They
receive no pay for their services, and
certainly the people who are responsible
for the education of the children, will
make all effort to pay their annual as
sessments for maintaining the schools
If they will not, then the unpleasant
duty Of compelling them. had just as
well be done and have the job overwith
so that all concerned may forget the in
cident. Better pay and save trouble.

IT IS MRS. ATKINSON.
She Is President Federated Clubs, Not
Mrs. Monroe.

Living in a small city away from
the hungry newspaper reporters, away
from the legislature and away from
has it's punishment.
For instance, and here lies the tale:
Mrs w d. Atkinson of Parsons is
president of the Kansas Federation of
Women's clubs. Mrs. Atkinson was
the last election of this well known
state wide organization. In fact Mrs.
Atkinson's pictures appeared in the
newspapers.
Cruel fate, however, has come to
Mrs. Atkinson in the form of miSdi-
rected publicity. Since the women
have been taking such an active work
in legislative proceedings, the newspa-
pers in Topeka have been liberal with
their time and space. And in the
spirit and rush of the narrow, tiny
speck of time between the reporters
typewriter and the composing rooms,
Mrs. Lila Day Monroe of Topeka has
been honored temporarily with the
office of president of the federated
clubs.
Mrs. Monroe is president of the
Good Government club of this city
This local organization is not a mem
Der of the Kansas Federation and the
mistake is one of those technical err
rors that creeps in between lapses of
reportorial memories.
Meanwhile Mrs. Atkinson, reading
wrathfully her Topeka papers. has
suffered the humiliation of having the
reins of her office snatched from her
hands by the Cruel Zeal of a reporter
who believed faithfully in Topeka
products. Apologies are hereby ten
dered to Mrs. Atkinson.
