riet L. Janney to retain possession OF
her 3-year-o1d granddaughter, Vir-
ginia Ford. the million dollar baby

the river the values are Approximately

to Assessor Haynes. il due to discrep-

In order to eliminate the necessity
of taxpayers paying different taxes OF,

suggests meetings along adjoining

I'm making comparisons in this

think the showing Is creditable to the
deputies who did the work when it fs
remembered that they acted inde-
pendently of one another in making
the various assessments, and also that
the assessments of the lands compared
represent the work of twenty-five diff
ferent deputy assessors of the town
ships in the various counties.
In order to secure a better equali-
zation OF land values throughout the
county, have advised all the deputy
assessors of Shawnee county to ar
range meetings along adjoining town
ship lines and Jointly consider values
OF abutting lands in the various town
ships Of the county. am satisfied If
the deputy assessors will act in ac-
cordance with this suggestion that
conditions will be much improved"

citizens to the Importance of patroniz'
ing home industry
While very few of the small towns
in the Southwest have manufactures,
they all have retail stores which. if
properly patronized, constitute Ia pow

ment of their communities.
If a few of the more progressive citi"
zens in and around our smaller cities
and towns would start a movement in
favor of "home trading" much good
would be accomplishments it is proven
fact that the general prosperity of a
community is dependent upon the pros

The community in which you live can
not possibly be any better than your
stores and you cannot hope to have
good stores unless you and your neigh.
bors patronize them
Civic pride is valuable asset, and
while all of us are DESTROYS that our

things that make it pleasant as well

but few OF us realize that the securing
and maintenance of these advantages
depend upon local commercial ctivltles
