At last Greene county has an equalization board-C. F. Richard son of this city, and E. M. Butler of Beech Grove, having been ap- w. J. Moore, the third member of the board. Originally W. T. Crow ley of Walcott, and Callus Harvey of Marmaduke, were appointed with w. J. Moore of this city, as mem- bers of the board. Crowley and Har- vey declined to serve, and J. w. Seay of Walcott, and R. B. Malin of Halliday, were then given com missions as members of the board. Upon receipt of official information that they had been appointed Messrs. Seay and Malin immediate ly sent in their resignations. Final lly c. E. Richardson of Paragould and E. M Butler were induced to act on the board, and yesterday the three equalizers began the work of revising the assessments in this county.
 ASSESSMENTS DECLINE.
 The total amount of the assessed valuation of the real and personal property in the county, as turned in by the tax assessor, is not avail able, but it is understood conserv- ative estimates places the amount at not less than $2O0,000 short of the total assessments for last year. The assessed valuation for 1914 was $6OO,00O short of that for the year of 1913. Thus the total decrease in two years has not been less than $S0O,0O, provided the. es- timated decrease for this year is found to be correct. This deplor- able condition, with it's attendant shortage in revenue for the county, foreshadowed a financial crisis that would have placed Greene county almost in the bankrupt colmun, un- less an equalization board should take hold of the situation and make large increases in the assessments. It is understood the board, which started upon the work yesterday, is determined Greene county shall not be known as a community of tax dodgers, and in consequence the board is making many raises in the assessments. While no official in- formation has been given out, it is reliably reported the board yes terday increased the assessments on city property $57,0O0, and this covered only portion of the real estate in Paragould. Proportionate increases will be made in the prop Ierty all over the county.
 HORSES WORTH $40.
 While property values in the city are assessed on low basis, it is understood farm values are even lower proportionately. Those in a position to know say many farms that cannot be bought for $75 an acre are assessed at less than $10 per acre.
 The total assessed valuation of personal property in the city is ap- proximately s679,O00, or $19,OO0 less than in 1r14. The total as sessed valuation of all the personal

1t took me all day to get that
business done, so that | did not
see Mollie until last evening, when
she came over with Chadwick
Hatton, both just radiant with
happiness. l don't believe, little
book. that even Dick and l were
as happy as that.

us marriage a failure?"
You being only a few sheets OF
paper can not realize the wonder
full joy-the' overwhelming bliss
of being really and truly head
over heels in love and IL I had
the making of this old universe,
one of the things 1 would have
different would be to have that
glorious passion last.
OF course If you could speak,
little book, you would probably
say: Isn't the fact that it does
not, cam not, last, the one great
reason why it is so exquisitely
wonderful"
Perhaps, but that does not
make its passing any less terri
BILE.
1t is perfectly natural for every
human being to wish great happi-
ness and to grieve when he sees
that happiness fade. Women
wives-try to bring it back again
In the company of their husbands
not knowing that there is nothing
so completely dead as a dead pas
sion.
Men seek it again in the person
of another woman. All literature
is full of this truth. l think one
of the saddest books I ever read
was Thomas Hardy's The Well
Beloved" sad for the. many
women in which the hero of the
book thought from time to time
the wen beloved was enshrined,
and sadder for the man who was
ever hunting a passion which al
ways invited and never satisfied.
This, it seems to me, little
book. is the difference between
men and women III their attitude

CONFESSIONS
A WIFE

toward keeping love alive. 1t is
love man wants to keep while
woman clings to her lover.
After marriage the woman sees
the little joys that make up the
sum and substance of love lie
one after another, and she takes
herself to task and asks: ''In
what am / remiss; 2why can /
not charm my husband as l did
my lover?"
Every day, little book, my
heart bleeds for these poor wom-
en-. l see them on the street
cars. at the theaters, and in the
restaurants, trying to make con-
versation, practicing the little
arts and graces that, alas, have
lost their powers of captivation.
1t is always easy to guess If they
are married. A mans wife-is
his wife, nothing more. She holds
no mystery that is worth while
to explore. There is no unex-
pected turning i'm her Temporal
ment or mind that invites inves-
| t1gation.
Beside she is always there -
| she is a habit, and, while perhaps
it would be hard to be without
her as without his old pipe, yet,
he loves to daily with cigarets oc-
casionally.
But a woman-a wife without
children, how must she satisfy
this longing? 1t surely is just as
great in her as in him. Must
she sit and hold post mortems on
her dead love and get what COM
fort she can when she can find no
way in which she is to blame for
his death?
| They say men are more honest
than women. Perhaps they are
believe most married women
would pretend to be in love with
their husbands if their husbands
would, in their own language,
keep up the bluff
| am sure l would. l never did
believe in that brutal frankness
which deliberately hurts people.

kind word to anyone 1t has been
