Although some of the tax payers
OF Cairo have raised their voices

year. declaring IL the. highest of any
city in the State of Illinois. such is.
not the case.

due not only to the. increase in the
elevation of the state rate but to

Referring again to the tax rate
OF cities in Illinois, East st. Louis

comes eighth in the list. Al
though the majority oil the cities
showed big increase in the 1913

in the Distllery city is but $5.s7,

FIRE SEASON
is Closed by the Shows of De-
cenber in the Appalachian
Mountains.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-
With the SHOWS which fell in the lat
ter part of December, the fire season
in the southern Appalachian noun
tains has practically closed for this
winter. The record of fires on the
land which the government has ac-
Quired for national forests was much
better during December than in No
vember. During Novem Der forest of
f1cers reported AZ fires on or near
government land, while in December
there were only twelve. OF course.
BART of this decrease is due to tho
colder weather.
In all approximately 100000 acres
have been protected from IRE during
December The total area burned
over will not exceed 800 acres; the
forestehs consider this. as compared
with the acreage under protection,
comparatively Insignificant, and point
out that 1t forms less than one-twen-
tieth of one per cent Of the area un-
der protection.
During the winter months of jan
uary and February. the forest officers
think it will not be necessary to en-
ploy any fire fighters or pat-olmen.
However, if the snow should disap-
pear and the leaves get dry, patrol
will be started again. The spring fire
season usually opens about the mid
l die of February or the first OF March.

that all pupils who made an average

and not be required to attend schooI
on those days. The erect mas peeh

gether with the higher plane, upon
which the school has been maintained

appreciation of the interest they hays

been given the school by parents and
