Saved About $50
County Auditor Walter M. Riley
saved the taxpayers of Knox county
about $50 Tuesday morning when he
started to use UP six order books
which have been stored away In the
auditors office since the time of the
late A. G. Collins, former auditor Of
Knox county. For some reason or
other new order books were pur-
chased at that time and the old ones
stored away. Auditor Riley used the
last order in the book Monday and on
Tuesday started in to use the books
which have been stored there for a
number of years. A Columbus book
concern wanted $48 for six new order
books, containing six thousand orders.
Auditor Riley decided to save this
amount and will use the old books
purchased and paid for many years
ago, and which were never used.

What Happened in the Hem
lock Tree.
When hope goes ont despair comes in.
And then the hattlc's lard to win.

Do you know the meaning of the
word despair? 1t means the feeling
that there is no hope. not the least
bit of hope. 1t is a dreadful feeling.
Bobby Coon knows all about it. 1t is
feeling which makes you want to
let go and not try any more, or else
do something very desperate, which
means something which you would
never think of doing if you had any
hope at all.
When Bobby Coon, looking down
from his hiding place near the top of
the young hemlock tree in the Green
Forest, saw that the hunters knew by
the barking of the dogs that he was
in that tree a terrible fear clutched at
his. heart. Still he did have a little
hope. He knew by the way they
walked 'round and round the tree that
they co1ldnt see him. The branches
of the Young hemIock were thick and
the light from Mistress Moon made
the shadows very black. 1t was where
the branches were thickest and the
shadows were blacklist that Bobby was
hiding. So as he watched the hunters
walk round and round, all the time
looking up, he knew that they couldn't
see him and in spite of his terrible
fear little hope began to grow in his
heart.
But Wnen at ldSI Dlo" II
Boy began to climb the tree hope went
out and despair came i'll. If Farmer
Browns Boy kept on his way to the
top he was bound to find him. Bobby
knew that: And what could he DO:
Nothing, Just nothing! Anyway, that
is the way it seemed. of course, he
might jump to the ground. but there
were those dreadful dogs waiting for
him. If there had been but one it
would have been different There
might have been just wee chance
that he could get away. But with two
there simply was no chance at all. If
only he had chosen tree little
nearer to other trees so that he could
have crossed from one to another!
But there wasn't tree near enough
to this one for him to do that.
Nearer and nearer came Farmer
Browns Boy. Bobbys heart seemed as
if it would pound to pieces with fright.
He felt so helpless. He kept still as
long as he could. Then, almost with

meeting of frills to dolly. Complete,
the box cost SIS.
While it would be difficult to spe-
city the cost definitely if made at
home, | should judge that a box meas
uring nine inches square and four
inches high would require about six
teen yards of lace and ribbon together,
allowing ten yards for the sides of the
box and six for the cover. though the
quantity here would depend upon the
size of the lace dolly. 1t will take five
frills to cover a four-inch space.
French valenciennes should be used.
because the mesh is finer than the Ger
man valenciennes. One should get a
quality good enough for pleating at so
cents a dozen yards or less, while the
ribbon will be about cents a yard.
a very pretty lace dolly can be found
in any art department for a quarter.
Plain cardboard boxes or paper-cov-
cred can also he found there from 10
cents upward, so it takes very little
calculating to find out how small the
cost of materials is. compared to the
price of the finished article.

for letting Bobby Coon get away. He

choice to ermine much may be said for

One can sometimes get Persian lamb

again be good where a white trimming
was wanted.
Summing up the situation. skunk. sill
yer-hecked OF white furs are the best
to trim or wear with black. The most
modish of fur cloth is the most lightly
patterned, which looks like the very
finest pony or broadtail. All who are
exclusive in their dressing choose this
most expensive version, and wear with

is some social necessity for some very
nice frock underneath. Most of these
coats are made rather less than three

seem to want a fur border. or else to

ample.
What a pretty note is the revival of
the line of round buttons: one sees it
very much on velvet frocks and on

such costume is in a light cloth, though
