SANTA VISITS THE POOR
X. OF p. ANNUAL GIFT DAY WAS
SATURDAY.
Joe Helgerson and "Top' Morton
Were Deputized as Assistants.
Food and Candy Given.

"I guess Santa won't come this
year" said a six-year-old little girl,
"because we have no Christmas tree. ?"
And then she was shown that Santa
had not forgotten her. Santa was
ordered not to forget her by the Mar
mion lodge, number SO, Knights of
Pythias. She was just one whose
child's dream came true because there
are big hearted men in Dallas-men
who easily spanned the years back,
back to the time when they, too, wait
ed anxiously for Christmas morn.
This little girl was alone when Lot
Browns automobile with Joe Helger-
son at the wheel, called at her house.
"Mamma is at church, reading out
of the Bible. Daddy is at work, she
answered the questions asked her.
Her three little brothers were away.
The bed was unmade and badly soil
ed; the kitchen floor was clean but
pots with the grease around the sides
stood on the cold kitchen stove. Most
l;kalv ber father and mother and
brothers were happy when they got
home for potatoes, sack OF -four, q
box of apples and stocking full Of
childish goodies were left for each
child. The only difference between
these children's stockings and that OF
their more fortunate brothers and SIS
ters was that they came earlier than
the others.
There was one place-a tent-where
a father and mother and six children
lived. There was no money there and
four of the children were just recov-
ering from the measles. The father
and mother were happy to receive the
food; the children's eyes sparkled at

SPECIAL EXAMS IN JUNE MAY keep BRIDGE OPEN
COMMISSIONS REPORT EXPECT.
ED TODAY OR TOMORROW.
If State Engineers Guarantee, Bridge
May Be Kept Open For Traffic
Under 5000 Pounds.

: 1t is rumored that the state high.
way commission s report on the inter.
county bridge may give the structure
several years more of life though with
greatly restricted traffic. This latest
possibility is contrary to the belief
of Polk county officials and bridge
men but is given credence in some
quarters. 1t is understood that, in
case the state highway commission
rules as above, the maximum load on
the bridge will be placed at 5000
pounds. Other restrictions such as
distance between vehicles, direction of
traffic and speed, may be suggested.
Polk officials feel that a good
bridge, a safe bridge, is needed across
the river at Salem. They think that
it would be an unwise policy that
would prolong the life of a tottering
structure which can not handle traffic
properly. They are agreed that a new
bridge should be built Immediately
and the men from all parts of the
county who have been in the court
house the past week agree with the
county officers. "Build good bridge
right away" epitomizes the expression
of men from each section of the coun-
ty. They say this with the knowledge
that Polk county, if it advances its
one-third share of the minimum,
$3.50, 900, for the bridge, will have ex-
hausted its 1917 funds. They realize,
in that case, that there can. be no
road building in 1917. They are be-
ing told just that by the county judge
and yet not one has even intimated
that he would rather have a road than
a bridge. Polk opinion seems to be
solidifed-,' Build bridge"
Dallas will have to wait. A con-
crete bridge, said to have been prom
ised early this year by the court to
section near this city for 1917, can
not be built. The covered wooden
bridge that has spanned the creek at
this place for the past So years and
which is now sadly incompetent to
handle the traffic will have to creak
out another year of life. And so it
is in all parts of the county. Each
section will have to postpone, says the
county court.
There is just one hope that the
county will have enough money to
build the Salem bridge and keep up
with the progressive road work that
is the receipt of back O.. and c.
taxes. That possibility has CLEANED
for several years for the county and
when it is received the amount will
be reckoned with.

BUDGET UP NEXT FRIDAY
COUNTY COURT WILL DISCUSS
TAXES WITH CITIZENS.
Meeting Will Begin at 10 a. m. in
Court House-Various Items
To Be Considered.

A meeting OF the taxpayers Of Polk
county is scheduled with the county
court next Friday morning at 10 o.
clock, when the budget for the year
1917 will be thoroughly gone into and
the final levies set. Judge Kirkpat-
rick, who will preside at the meeting,
is particularly anxious that large
number of Polk's taxpayers turn out
to this meeting. A full opportunity
will be given them to discuss pro or
con the estimated expenditures and
receipts of the county for the coming
year, as proposed by the court.
One of the most important items
to be discussed is that of the inter-
county bridge over the river at Sa-
lem. The court proposes to raise
about $4,000 by special taxation for
the construction Of the bridge In
1917. This amount will have to be
added to make approximately $4,000,
which is Folks one-third of the to-
tai cost of $250,O00. For this pur-
pose it is intended to use $4,000 from
the bridges and ferries fund, on the
bridge besides $4,000 as the coum-
tvs share Of the three-mill tax levy
raised in the road districts, so that
at the outside Polk county will only
be able to put $4,000 into bridge
next year, unless the $4,000 back
D. & C. taxes are received. The
10000 raised for the bridge this
year has all been expended.
The following is an itemized es-

ak levy for each department of coun-
