Manford Russell Of the First ward
was the first deputy assessor in Mt.
Vernon to report to District Assessor
"Severns. He filed his report Friday
afternoon. Soon afterwards G. w.
Mckee, deputy assessor in the Second
ward, filed his report. A. A. Faul of
the Third ward had his report ready
to file Saturday morning with the ex-
ception of some totals. Deputy AS
SCISSOR Howard G. Gates, who has been
in the Fourth ward, expected to file
his report before the close of business
ON Saturday.
District Assessor Severns has not
yet compared the figures Of the re-
turns in Mt. Vernon with former years
but expects to do so at very early
date. Mr.. Severns stated Saturday
morning that the real estate valuation
in the Second ward was somewhat
lower than last year. This is prob
ably due to the fact that the food of
last spring caused the valuation of
property in that sectios& &f the city to
decrease. NV
A number of deputy assessors from
over the county fled their report with
the district assessor on Saturday

in the court of common pleas of Knox
county by Mary G. Clark and Charles
Green against Lewis J. Marsh ct al.

which the said Sarah J. Green, Sc
cured from her husband, now de-
ceased. The other suit asks for a
partition of real estate, consisting of
18 acres in Monroe, which was owned
by the said Sarah J. Green. H. H. and

At meeting of the Board OF Con-
troll Monday afternoon it was decided
not to have high school base ball
team the coming season. One of the
reasons for this was the fact that last
year a high school team was worked
up and just 1T it was rounding into
shape a great number of its members
deserted and made up a Y NJ c. A.
team in the city league that they
might play ball ali summer It GER
tainly seemed a shame to work team
up like that and then have a great
many of them go into the city league
when the season was still so young
that it wasn't half over. Another chief
reason was the fact that last year a
season ticket, consisting of five home
games with such teams as Newark,
North of Columbus, Doane Academy,
ETC., was sold and only two of these
games were played. In other words
the public paid for five games and
only saw two of them-not half.
Does this look like hundreds OF tick
cts could be sold this year? These
are only a few of the most important
reasons, however, there are many
more too numerous to mentions.

Thursday afternoon after school the
hoys in high school assembled in the
high school auditorium where meet
ing was called concerning spring foot
ball Captain-elect Clayton opened
the meeting by telling its purpose and
then discussed the question of spring
foot ball. Other talks by Oscar
Kramer and Lyle Kinsey, One of the
main purposes of the meeting was 10
influence as many as possible to
come out for spring foot ball and
learn the rudiments of the game. It is
thought that if some of these large,
hulking country pupils were gotten
hold of, they could be taught the
game this spring and then would be
exceedingly valuable this fall when
a heavy schedule will be played. The
time yet this spring will be devoted
to the teaching of the game and also
to the teaching of the various posi-
tions on the team.
If this plan works out we'll Mt. Yer
non should have winning team next
year. Practice will begin Immediately
after April vacation.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S men Will GIVE
.PARTINGDANCE IN ARNORY TONIGHT

Alloy, MATES; tonight's the night"
squawked the parrot which resides at
King and Alakea streets this morning
as group of sailors from the cruiser
South Dakota strolled by. The warn
ing was a timely one, evidently, for
the man-o'-warsmen departed fmRIe-
diately for the cruiser, there they
spent the rest of the day cleaning uni
forms and hats and shining shoes.
Tonight is "the big night" for the
men of the South Dakota, and night
which is not going to be soon forgotten
by Honolulu residents who are lovers
of the dance The National Guard
Armory will be the scene of the fes-
tiyities, and the members of the Ess
Dee Social Club, composed of 100 men
of the South Dakota, will be the hosts.
The dance in the armory will be in
the nature of farewell, as it is ex.
pected that the cruiser will sail for
the mainland Friday. 1t was reported
this morning that the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the af-
fair has completed its work and, in the
nautical vernacular, everything is
cleared for action" Hundreds of in
vitations have been issued, and IT is
expected that record crowd will be
in attendance. Refreshments will be
served during the evening, and that a
good time is assured those who attend
goes without saying. ri e... ~
The grand march will commence
promptly at s o'clock, and it is ex.
pected that Captain W. w. Gilmer,
commanding the South Dakota, will
lead; at least, he has been asked. All
the officers on tie cruiser have been
invited and these, with the bluejaek-
cts, will insure pretty display of uni
forms. The affair will be strictly in
vitational, and no gentlemen, other
than those in the uniform of the gov
eminent service. will be admitted
without ladies.
The Ess Dee Club has been in exis-
tence four years and has given sue.
cessful dances in each port which the
cruiser has visited. The officers of
the club are Edward 3. McOrmond,
president; Logan e. Ruggles, vice
president, and Oscar E. Dannegger.

WHEN A PERSON BLINKS.
Why You Still See While Eye Is la
Total Eclipse.

When a person winks his eyes he mo-
mentarily covers the entire eyeballs
and everything therefore should turn
absolutely black and be in total dark
ness for the instant. AS a matter Of
fact, he certainly is in total darkness,
but he is unconscious Of it.
The reason he is unconscious is that
the eye is incapable of removing a GER
tain view from itself until an eighth Of
a second has elapsed. So the view seen
just before the ball goes into eclipse
continues to be seen for an eighth Of a
second. But as the eye is not covered
by the lid as long as this, a new view
arrives to supplement the old view be-
fore the old one has vanished. Thus
the darkness is not noticed, although
there is no doubt that it exists.
This same popularity of the eye en-
ables moving pictures to have their be-
ing. 1t also is the reason why Il lighted
torch whirled rapidly around shows Il
path instead Of Il sequence Of torches.
Also why a rapidly rotating wheel does
not show it's spokes. II Il snapshot be
taken of such Il wheel it does show the
spokes. however. and proves the above
fact of persistence. Or if the wheel be
viewed by Il lightning flash it shows
them.-NeW York World.

PRETTY NEW SHADES.
Novel Ideas For Making Attractive
Ones For Summer Use.

The lamps having a white or glass
standard seem to be particularly fitting
for a young girls ROOM. A shade
with a white ground can either be
stenciled or embroidered to match any
color scheme. The shade of d white
lamp seer recently was Of white pom
gee, on which was embroidered at
regular intervals a cross stitched o
in two shades of pink, with a few
green leaves. This was then covered
with a coarse white net. and a narrow
pink braid finished the edge of h top
and bottom. The effect was very
charming and could easily be copied.
A blue motif could be carried out or
the foundation silk if blue is the domi-
nant note in the room.
Scarfs for the bedroom furniture
cross stitched, with the same motif
as that used to decorate the lamp,
could be readily made.

are to represent giant f~irecrackers, and
to make them nothing is better than a
couple of old broom handles sawed
into even lengths. Paint the pieces
red, with white ends, and to the end
which is to be the top glue 4 piece of
narrow tape starched stiff to look like
a wick.
The pins when the game is in readi-
ness are arranged upright at a dis
lance from the place where the chill
dren stand. and each youngster has
three turns to hit them. rolling Il ball
as in the usual game. The little girls
are given paper aprons and the boys
paper caps, and for each ten pin
knocked over a star is pasted on to the
apron or the cap. The one winning
best score receives a big f~irecracker
candy box filled with goodies.
