STATE TAX COMMISSION
MEETS OFFICIALS IN JULY

Equalization of the values OF
property in the various counties of
Kansas will be begun by the state
tax commission July 1. The first
II days Of the month will be spent
hearing the tax officials of the
counties on the valuations made by
local assessors and their deputies.
No individual complaint nor appeals
from assessments will be heard by
the state board until the work with
the county officials is finished and
the actual work of equalization is
started.
For convenience in handling the
county assessments the state COM
has divided the state into
four sections. The idea is to get
adjoining counties before the COM
at the same time, so that
each county will bear its fair share
of taxation. One county will assess
live stock much higher than the
one adjoining, for instance, and the
wishes to get these |
somewhere near an equitable valua-
ion.
The dates for the hearing of Dick
nson county are announced as July
and Z.

A WlNTERPORT SURPRISE PARTY.

On the evening of Jan. 9th, party of
old and Young people of Winterport made
their way over the hills to the poor farm.
not sorrowfully, as described in Will
Carleton's poem, but joyously, the bells
rang out as the sleighs slipped over the
smooth roads. Mystery was in the air,
for Hiram J. Ide, the superintendent,
was so years old that day and friends had
planned surprise party for him. An
elegant oak serving chair was concealed
in the hall. while game of progressive
whist was in progress. the first prizes
going to A. L. Blaisdell and Miss Ellen
Bartlett, who received pair of cuff
links and pretty powder jar, respect
lively. A birthday cake, beautifully
decorated with lighted candles, made by
Mrs. Will Lewis, was placed before the
host and Mr.. Blaisdell in a few appro-
pirate words presented the chair to him
with the best wishes of all the assembled
party. A letter of loving remembrance
was also read from the daughter who IS
away from home, accompanied by a
dainty gift in honor of fathers birthday.
Dainty and appetizing refreshments
were served by Mrs. lde, who made
model hostess, then all were escorted
over the whole house, which was IN spot
less condition. The Jail was inspected,
the handouts tried and the inmates seem
and contented. Mr.. Ide
takes great pride in lettering the condi-
tions Of the farm and making it as home
like as possible and the inmates are as
sured of cleanliness and comfort as long
as he has the control at the farm. After
everything, all settled down
to the favorite game of fifty eight until
the small hours of morning, and depart
ed wishing Mr.. Ide many happy returns
of the day.
