basis. If sufficient reduction in the
levy was made to do away with the
surplus in one year, it would throw
the District in debt for several years
after the first year, as we can increase
the levy only five per cent each year,
unless special permission is obtained
from the state tax commission and
we have been reliably informed that
it would be difficult to obtain this per-
mission.
Below we give you some figures
showing how reductions in the levy
would affect the financial condition of
the District.
A reduction of the levy to four
mills for one year with an increase of
five per cent each year thereafter
would result in the following:
End Of LIST year with levy of
1 mills-surplus ................S 81, 600. 90
End Of md year with levy of a,oooo
End Of :ird year with levy Of 5000 ~
End OF 18th year with levy OF
I63O5 miIls-deficit. .............. s,G96.25
End Of 9th year with levy Of
5.io5 mills-deficit .............. I,9i3.15
End Of ith year with levy OF
536 mills-deficit ............... I.si3.i5
End OF Sth year with levy Of
80 mills-deiicit ......-.......... i93. 10
On the 9th year the levy could be
reduced to five mills, which would pro-
vide just enough money to run the
schools on a cash basis.
A reduction of the levy to 4.25 mills
for one year with an increase of 5 per
cent each year thereafter would result
in the following:
End of lst year with levy of o
4.2J mills-surplus .............. .Sl,SiJ.OO
End OF md year with levy OF
iiG mills-surplus ............. 1,;is5.oo
End Of :ird year with levy of
I.GS:;. mills-surplus ............ Ii1.J0
End OF ith year with levy Of
1917 mills-surplus ............ 325.OO
On the 9TH year the levy could be
made five mills, which would run the
schools on a cash basis.
The above figures are based on the
assumption that all taxes will be paid,
which is not true; we must make an
allowance of several hundred dollars
for unpaid taxes on personal property.
1t will readily be seen that cut to
four mills is out of the question; and
the Board is of the unanimous opinion
that cut to four and one-fourth mills
| for the first year with five per cent
| increase each year thereafter until the
levy is raised to five mills, is the only
solution of the question.
If the Board could be assured that
The State Tax Commission would al
low an increase to five mills, they
would gladly cut the levy to such an
amount as would dispose of the entiye
surplus in one year, as it has no desire
or intention of accumulating a sur
| )lus for any purpose.
| AS to the total amount to be spent
in erecting and furnishing the new
grade building, the Directors hereby
Il L -1... -

HALF HOLIDAY
In Middle of Week fleets with Favor
In La Junta

All of the stores in La Junta closed
Thursday afternoon from to S O'Clock
to attend the ball game between Rocky
Ford and La Junta. Did anybody suffer
financially on account of it? Then why
not make this regular weekly event for
July and August, and give everybody an
opportunity to enjoy a half holiday each
week? All OF the newspapers in the Ar
kansas Valley made favorable comment
last week on this suggestion. The half
holiday is already an established fact in
some of the northern Colorado towns.
and it could be brought about in all OF the
Arkansas Valley towns it some concerted
effort was made. without Inconvenience
to the merchants or the patrons they
serve. and would prove beneficial to all
concerned The Sunday schedule of the
Arkansas Valley League could be trans
ferred to Thursday afternoon. with profit
to the league. as it would give those who
have conscientious scruples against at
tending Sunday games an opportunity to
enjoy them. Exhibition games could be
played on occasional Sunday afternoons
for the benefit OF those whose only day of
leisure is on Sunday-and those who will
always go to a ball game whenever an
opportunity is afforded-Sunday or any
other day This plan would also be of
financial benefit to the league. and this is
. consideration that will be of more or
less vital Importance to them before the
season is over.--La Junta Tribune.

OF School District No. A.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1915-06-18
adopted by the Board of
Directors of School District Num-
her 4 Otern County. Iune IL. 1915.

Resolutions adopted by the Board Oh
Directors of School District Num-
Der 4, Otero County, June IL, 1915.
Whereas, it is the desire of the
No. A, Otero County, Colorado, that
the Public be kept fully informed as
to the actions and intentions of the
Board; be it resolved that the follow
ing statement of the financial condi-
tion of said District be furnished to
the newspapers in Rocky Ford for
publication. Balances on hand as
shown by the County Treasurer's re-
port dated May 81, 1915; as follows:
Bond Fund ......... s 266.03
Special Fund ........ 6194.62
General Fund ....... 13009.67
Total ............... S19470.32
The Bond Fund of course can be
used only to pay off the outstanding
bonds and interest on same. The Gen.
eral Fund can be used only to pay the
current or maintenance expenses, and
the Board is now drawing all war
General Fund and will continue to do
so until same is exhausted.
From the above statement it will be
seen that there is now to the credit of
the Special Fund S6194,62 and the
General Fund S13009.67, making a
total of S19204.29 and it is estimated
that at the close of the school year,
we will have surplus of S2O,OOO.OO
in both the Special and General Funds,
and it is the intention of the Board
to use not to exceed $10,000.00 of this
surplus in erecting and furnishing the
new grade building.
The proposed new building will have
five classrooms on the second floor and
the first floor will have furnace
room, storage room and two rooms at
present unassigned which can be used
as class rooms when needed and until
such time as needed for classrooms
can be used for the children during re-
cesses in bad weather. The building
will necessarily be entirely above the
surface of the ground on account of
seepage. 1t is estimated that the
building fully completed and furnished
will cost not to exceed $40, 100000 and
the Board wishes to assure the public,
that it will not use to exceed O,OOO.-
90 of the surplus funds of the District
for that purpose.
Assuming that we have a surplus
of S2O,000.O0 on hand at this time and
that we use S1O,000.00 of this on the
new grade building, that will leave a
balance of 100000 which the Board
expects to dispose of in reduction of
the levy for another year.
Taking the average cost of conduct
ing our schools for several years past
it is estimated that it will cost $45,-
10000 per year to maintain our
schools after the new building is in
use.
Below is a statement of our income
from all sources:
5 mill levy no S7,500,0 100000
valuation ............... S31 ,50t
Average received from Gen.
eral Fund ............... 5000
Total ........ S4o,oo'
1t will be seen that no permanent
reduction in the levy is possible unles!
there should be . substantial increase
in the valuation of taxable property
Now with reference to the disposition
of the S10,000.00 surplus on hand, af
ter using S10,O00.00 for the new build
ing, it is the unanimous desire of thu
Board to dispose Of this at the earlies
possible moment, but at the SAM
time in such manner as will enabl,
the District to continue on cas-,

MEN TEACHERS WEAR Wells
Korean Parents Who Sent 1holV
Daughters to School Objected
TO Male Instructors.

Washington.-Changes In Korean
manners and etiquette are reaching
even the girls schools since the time
Of Japanese control. DESTROYS Of
broadening the minds Of the women, a
girls high school was established at
Seoul in 1908, when the girls admitted,
81 in number, were almost entirely
daughters Of noblemen.
The teachers were women at first,
but the number of students increased
so that the necessity of efficient male
instructors was felt and some were ap.
pointed. The community in general
and the students parents In particular
were enraged, alleging that it was an
objectionable crime for men to enter
the gate of girls school in broad
daylight, even If they were teachers.
The school authorities therefore
made a concession that the male
teachers should veil their faces when
they passed the gate Of the school. It
is an absurd idea, but the students
parents were satisfied with it, Some
girls were attended by two or three
chaperons or maids even at school.
At first the young ladies could dis.
tinguish only such primary colors as
red and blue, having no eye for deli
cate secondary colors and tints. But
at present they are instructed in all
liberal arts and their thoughts and
ideas are naturally being broadened.
The graduates want to make new
departure in the serious matter Of mar
rage and are being generally allowed
by their parents to have free choice
Of a match. 1t is reported that these
new women desire to marry physicians
or lawyers in preference to young
heirs Of noblemen.

SURE FIRE" STUFF
SAVES MANY SHOWS
AL. Jolson Has a Way All His
Own of Winning Over
an Audience.

Believe me, many Il two dollar
show has been saved by hokum stuff
said AL Jolson, who appears In the
Winter Gardens spectacular revue,
: Dancing Around at the Auditorium
September 3.
1t is doubtful whether the most in.
seterate theater-goer knows what is
meant by the term "hokum stuff 1t
is an old time minstrel man expires.
sion, and refers to what might be
termed slap-stick comedy. Out on
what used to be known as the Tai
.ow-dip circuit" hokum stuff was re-
sorted to by the comedians OF min
strel aggregations in order to get
their audiences into a state of high
good humH:. AL Joison served his ap.
premiership in this school OF acting,
which accounts for the fact that he
keeps hammering away at his listen
ers until they succlVmb to his mirth-
provoking abilities.
In Jolson's minstrel days, it was
customary to close the show with an
after piece. Among the best known
arces in which ''hokum stuff" was in
jected to the last degree may he men
toned, 'The Ghost in the Pawn Shop"
Razor Jim," Over the River. Char
ie," Irish Justice" Stocks Up
Stocks Down, and Graveyard Sam"
It may be remembered by those who
saw the show that "The Mummy and
the Maid" had an overwhelmingly fun
ny barber scene in which an electric
razor was used. Lew Fields later on
used a variation OF this old niger
act in one Of his musical shows. Sam
Bernard, it may be recalled, utilized
some old time "hOkum stuff in a
scene in which he as the wig-maker
hid beneath the table, and from that
point of vantage worked up ludi.
crOusly amusing scene. Irish JUS
tice" has done noble duty for the COM
edians, George w. Monroe and Harry
Fisher we'll known Winter Garden fav-
orites. Disguised in a variety Of
forms, this howlingly funny farce has
convulsed untold thousands, who little
dreamed that their forefathers had
laughed at the self-same bit of "hokum
stuff in by gone days.
When the Winter Garden in New
York made it's first production, Al Jol-
son was one Of the comedians. Since
that time he has necome star. He
is the very first of the so-called black
face comedians to attain such an
eminence, and he attributes much Of
his success to the experience he gain
ed the early part OF his career.
