COUNTY ASSESSOR
TO|L|NG OVER COR.
RECTED RETURNS
When Briscoe Has Mastered the Many
Changes Ordered by State Board
He Will Have 10 Figure the
Schedules Anew

County Assessor James Briscoe is
engrossed in study of the returns
from the State Board for the equali-
zation Of taxes, with the corrected as
sessments on Quay properties. There
are 100 printed pages TO the report
and Mr.. Briscoe must delve through
them TO find out what items touch on
Quay returns. When he gets through
with his study of the corrections he
will have to wade through the mass
of schedules in his own records and
figure them over according TO the cor
rected returns.
In general the state board raised
pretty much all the merchants in town
Those who escaped the blanket in
crease Of 80 per cent were taken care
of by an individual increase. House
hold goods were boosted 20 per cent.
All lands except city and town lots
20 per cent; cattle 10 per cent; sheep

The lists from other counties were
considerable larger than that of Quay
and it will be noticed that instead of
allowing the 20 per cent discount from
the regular assessment the state board
put back the 20 with added to it on
farm lands.
Assessor Briscoe is TO be compli-
mented on his good showing and he
proven himself worthy official, and
the person who does not think there
is much work attached to this Office
should take few days off and sec
for themselves.

EVERYTHING Is QUIET

Last week the town was full of all
kinds of amusement. This week there
has not been so much to attract the
people up town at night. Mr.. Hurley
says his business has not increased
much this week from that of last. The
merry -go-round left Saturday night
and the little boys had time looking
for money where the swing stood. The
Arlington Stock Company played TO n
full house Saturday night and closed
their engagement here, leaving Sun
day morning for Amarillo. The big
show drew a large crowd Thursday
night, nearly as large as in the after
noon although the tent was placed In
the country near the cemetery. The
jitneys also took in a good amount Of
pocket change.

OPERA HOUSE SOLD TO MAsoNs


a deal has been made whereby the
Masons have gained control Of the
opera house. They also purchased the
lots adjacent TO the building.
II is understood that the opera
house will he remodeled and put in
good condition throughout, putting in
decent dressing rooms, etc.
II Is also said that new dining hall
and lodge rooms will be built along
the south side on the adjoining lots.
This will make wonderful improve
ment in things and the Masons should

TO go ahead with the work and put
the opera house in shape to secure
some first-elass companies during the
winter season.
We understand an effort is being
made to secure the Opera House for
the basket ball team so that games
may be played there without conflict

hope the new owners will see fit to
give the high school the preference in
this matter so that everything can

A Smaller LEGISLATURE.

Cedar Rapids Republican: OF
course no one expects the state legisla-
ture to vote half of itself out of ex-
istence and therefore, the recon-
of Governor Clarke in ia
vor of senate composed Of twenty
five members and house composed of
fifty members will not get on the
statute books. Politicians never vote
themselves either out of offices or sal
aries or perquisites. In other words.
they don't commit suicide.
But if the Clarke proposition were
submitted to vote of the people it
would carry three to one. In fact,
we doubt If anyone except the profess
sional Office seeking class would op-
rose It. Just let the people get a
trial of il and see what would happen
There Is no sense at all in sending a
couple of hundred men. almost, to Des
Moines to remake our laws every two
years and to remain in session there
month after month doing that bust
ness. Our legislature has grown so
big that it is hard work to seat them
in their respective chambers, while
rooms are so crowded that
It is proposed to build an office build
ing on the new extended grounds TO
accommodate them.
1t is all farce and a fraud. III half
of the governmental forces in the cap
ital city were sent home and told to
60 about their own business Iowa
would be better off and we would not
have to hunt perpetually for that
mythical greater Iowa.
The present legislature dares not
submit the issue raised by the cover
nor to vote of the people-and still
the legislature is composed of many
men who have had great deal to say
about the rule OF the PEOPLE and the
initiative and referendum.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up mixture OF Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so ttractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix.
tllre by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage aud
Sulphur Compound which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dand-
run. stops scalp itching and falling
hair You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautiful
" darkening the hair after a few APP
plications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an APP
pearance of abundance.
