Dickinson Co.

Dickinson Co.
Dear Sir:
The absurd claim that The
American farmer cares more about
the welfare OF his stock than he
does for his children. has been re-
futed by the thousands OF school
districts which have installed the
improved Roud Oak Heating and
Ventilating ssytem.
You and remember that In for
mer times the child near the stove
Oasted, while. the one farthest
froze-all OF us had cold feet. How
could we learn well and be con-
tented and happy under ouch con-
ditions?
The Round Oak Folks have pro-
duced system OF supplying pure,
moist, warm, healthful air, also a
system for removing the impure
cold air that lies on the floor.
We claim the entire system to he
the most efficient, economical,
durable, and simplest of any ap-
paratus for schoolroom heating and
yentilating produced.
The Round Oak Room Heater is
unquestionably the heaviest, best
made, and strongest heater OF its
kind. It's reputation for high-grade
quality is worldwide, and 1t is
much superior to the ordinary con-
etruction, as your investigation Will
prove.
In no sense is the purchase or
this system an experiment. It's a
dlyidend-paying investment in the
health and comfort of the children.
II increases the value of your school
property more than the amount in-
vested, and will give you years OF
service.
Have one installed in your school
this season by the PEERLESS
SUPPLY CO., this city.
Yours for hearty, comfortable.
and happy, school kids"
THE ROUND OAK FOLKS.
P. S.-The responsibility of the
health and comfort of the children
in your school district is in your
hands. Call for booklet at PEER

CAN CHAPMAN DONATE
$1,000 To ID. G. II. s.
Legal Question Arises When Some
Taxpayers Kick

This spring the school board al
Chapman set levy which would
raise $500 for school purposes
$4,000 for the Chapman grade
schools and $1,000 to pay a teach'
err In the county high school, Chap
man maintains no high school. and
Il was not unfair that the city. since
Il sends all OF It's students OF high
school age to the county high school
should appropriate extra taxes,
some OF the residents OF Chapman
believed. Now. other Chapman peo-
pie object to paying this extra levy
into the county high school. since
they already pay certain levy for
the county school. Yesterday when
p. II. Roger. representing the OPP
ponents OF the $1,000 extra tax,
protested to the county commits
sioners against the approval OF the
levy made by the school board OF
Chapman. on the grounds that the
extra levy for the county high
school Is Illegal, since the high
school is no part OF the Chapman
city school system and is in no way
controlled by the Chapman educa-
tional heads supt. w. d. Ross,
state superintendent, gives as his
opinion that the 81 200 can be leg
ally taxed against the Chapman tax
payers for the county high school
and the county attorney has advis-
cd the commissioners that the Chap
man school boards levy can be APP
proved without fear that 1t will be
reversed. An injunction suit may
result before the matter is settled.
The valuation of the county this
year is $46,182,593 and on a levy
of four-tenths OF a mill for the
county high school, will raise $1S,-
473 for the school at Chapman.
Chapman's valuation as certified to
the state tax commission and sub
ject to the changes ordered by the
commission, which will raise the
valuation somewhat, is 1888, 436;
Chapman on the four-tenths of a
mill levy, will pay $237.37 into the
county high school fund. Abilene
will pay 1887 into the county
high school fund, taking the val
uation certified to the tax commits
sion.
1t seems but right that Chapman
should contribute much more to the
County High School fund as she
sends all of her pupils above the
eighth grade to 1t.
