A Fine Plan

When the demand for the product
warrants it, 1t is considered good
business to run G factory night and
day. Fixed overhead costs can thus
be spread over wider territory
daily, and results can be produced
at a lower basic expense.
The Lynden School Board and
the School Administration have rec
ognized this principle in their
efforts to keep the public buildings
busy as many hours in the day as
possible for the benefit of the COM
munity. Their latest move Is the
establishment of night school,
which extends over period Of ten
weeks beginnino January II. Cours-
on will be offered in English, PEN
manship. spelling, and business ar
ithmetic.
The Board Is to be commended
for its plan. which makes the school
equipment of service to the older
members of the district, as well as
the younger. Only thirty are re-
quired to enroll to assure the start
ing Of the school; double that num-
ber should sign up with Superin-
tendent P. A. Wright to take advan-
tage of this educational opportunity.

Knows All About Mars
and Dry Farmers There

If anyone has any doubt as to
whether the planet Mars has real peo
pie living on it, ask Salem's local
astronomer, Prof I. +. McAdams. He
has Just returned from Corvallis where
he heard the lecture of Percival Lowell
of Flagstaff, Arizona, the greatest ex'
pert in America on planets and espcc-
ially Mars. Mr.. Lowell says there ism t
any doubt about there being people liv.
ing on Mars and that this is evidenced
by the canals that are being construct
ed each year. The trouble with Mars
seems to be that it is drying up and
the unfortunate inhabitants are oblib-
ed to do considerable irrigating. There
are several canals tapping the polar
region of that planet and they are
drawn in lines that are approved by
engineers who happen to live on the
planet called the earth. Mr.. McAdams
will take up the study of Mars TINS
winter and when occasion arises, Will
give addresses on the canals of that
planet. how they are constructed and
other evidences that the people living
there are some hustlers and know ex-
actly what to do when there is a
drought about twelve months of the
year

City Tax Next Year will
Be Same As This---l4 Mills

The taxpayers of Salem will have
the pleasure of paying the same taxes
next year that they did last, provided
Of course, the property is assessed at
the same value.
AT the meeting of the city council
this evening, the committee on ac-
counts and current expenses will sub.
NIT tentative draft of the budget for
1917. and the recommendation of the
committee will be that levy of IA
mills be made, the same as last year.
The amount to be raised by this as
sessment of IA mills will be several
thousand less than raised this year. due
to the lower assessed valuation of city
property. The estimated assessed
value of Salem property is $ll 100000.
A levy of ID mills on this value will
raise $l6l 900. Last year the budget
called for $l74,600. This year it is
$163,3S9. With the raising of the small
Ter amount this year, it is probable that
several items in the regular budget
will have to get along on smaller APP
preparation. Besides the -$l6l,00 to
be raised by the ID mill levy, the city
recorder estimates that fully $2500 will
be raised by fines and from other
sources
