to have saved the Serbians from pow

left them one of the gayest races of
mankind. In the Zadruga one house

QUAIL PROTECTION.

Notwithstanding the agitation in
favor of protecting quail for several
years in some sections, no bills of
this kind were passed this year, and
80 states still provide quail shooting.
The seasons were shortened six weeks
in Oklahoma and two weeks in Ne
vada. Limits were established for
the first time in Arkansas and New
Hampshire, reduced in Iowa from 25
to Is per day, in Oklahoma from rs
to 10, in Minnesota from Is to 10,
and increased in Nevada from Is to
20. All but IA of the states which
permit quail hunting now have a
limit of 90 birds OF less per day.

POLE FILLED WITH NUTS.

When telephone linemen pulled
down a pole in this town recently
they discovered near the top a small
hole, obviously that of woodpecker.
But upon further examination it was
found that the pole was hollow some
distance from the opening, and when
they started to move it they heard a
strange rattling inside. The hollow
space was almost filled with hickory
nuts, probably the winter store of a
family of squirrels. There were six
gallons of the nuts.-From North

THE ASSOCIATED JUSTICES

1t occurs to us that the associ-
ated justices of the county should
be ex -OfficiO a board of equal
ization. Each township has two or
more justices, they live in the
community where the property
to be assessed is located, and as
a rule are men who are well
known in their communities,
who know their neighbors, know
what property they have, know
what it is worth. and should know
what it should be assessed for.
If the associated justices of the
county were made a board Of
equalization it seems to US we
could come nearer getting a
proper assessment than in any
other way. Again, if people
knew that when they voted for
justice of the peace, they were
voting for man who would pass
on liberalization ofbheir property,
and say how much taxes they
should pay, they would vote for
man who knew his business,
and the Office of justice of the
peace would receive an added
dignity and importance.
In a great many places there
is very little in the Office of JUS
tice of the peace, and it is a hard
matter to get men to take it; they
do not care to be annoyed with
the duties it imposes upon them
because it is a thankless and un-
profitable business, but if they
are given the power to pass on
the assessed valuation of the
property in the county, in con-
nection with the power to levy
taxes, they will receive, and
should receive good paw for this
work. Men with other business
can afford to offer for this place,
and people will take more IN
tereSt in seeing good men cleo
ted as justice of the peace. This
is not saying that good men are
not elected, far from it, for we
know that some of our best citi-
zens will take the office, but as a
rule they do not want it, get very
little for their work and feel chat
it is burden taken up for the
interest of the community, in
which there is very little honor
or profit.
But the great reason why the
various justices should compose
a board of equalization is the fact
that they are men who are well
known in their several cOmmun-
ties. have lived there for years
and know just about as near how
an assessment should be made as
it is possible for any oneto know,
except the owner of the property
assessed, they are in position
to know, likely have been for
years. know that they are going
to make the tax levy, and will be
interested in seeing that every
man does his duty.

on the lecture platform, spoke on
Worms Beneath the Park Monday
afternoon. He touched upon social
and business weaknesses and scored
the employer of child labor. His talk
was punctuated with flashes ofzsWit
and humor and although he spoke for
over an hour his audience felt a keen
disappointment when he quit. The
audience wanted more several hours
more.
Reno the magician, and Prof. Kelly
were prime favorites with the boys
and girls. w. L. Davis, lecturer,
had dry subject but was an eloquent
speaker. George Williams told the
audience aboutssthe European war and
the causes leading thereto. His talk
was an argument for peace and it was
apparent he had the vast audience
with him in his sentiments. He blam-
ed unscrupulous capitalists and in
vestors in Mexico for bringing on the
present troubles with that country,
and didn't think the action of a few
bandits should be the cause of plung-
ing the American people into a earn
age Of blood and tears with the people
of Mexico who, he said, were blame

CHAUTAUQUA tent
Band Concert Last Night was
Last Number in Successful
Programs During Week

The Chautauqua season closed in
Morris last evening when Quantano
and his excellent band gave festival
of melody. The programs began
Sunday afternoon with a fair attend
ance which gradually increased until
several times about every seat in the
tent was taken. The local committee
who had charge of the Chautauqua
feel we'll pleased with the showing al
though indications point to a small
financial deficit. The programs this
year were excellent, and fine weather
prevailed. .~'.@ .-1.@.
Attorney T: J. Mangan opened the
exercises Sunday afternoon with an
address outlining the purposes of
the Chautauqua and stating a brief
history. He introduced Mr.. Frank
Leffert, the efficient young man who
had charge of the programs. After
a few announcements Mr.. Leffert
warned his audience to be on time
each day for he intended to open
his programs at exactly the hour an
neunced. His first number for the
afternoon was the St. Claire Quartet,
followed by Judge Manford Schoon-
over who styled himself "a crank
from Kansas, and who delivered and
entertaining address on "Unseen
Forces.
Judge Schoonover began his address
by telling about his native state and
drawing comparison with Iowa and
Minnesota. elf there are any land
men who come here and urge you to
sell your Minnesota farms and go to
the Southwest, don't do it," said
Judge Schoonover. "You have the
finest lands on earth, and it beats
ours. Once in five years we get
good crop in the Southwest and the
rest of the time we have drouths and
tornadoes. But we are all optimists,
just the same, and we have more per
capita money in the banks than you
will find in any other state in the
union because we did the right thing
twenty-five years ago." His address
was full of human interest and was
listened to attentively.
After the close of his address
Vesper services were held and many
remained to participate. The eve
ming was devoted to musical entertain
ment by the St. Caire Sisters and
Miss Theresa Devalut, a. reader and
impersonator of remarkable talent.
The rest of the programs were carried
out each day according to the announ-
cements on the Cnautauqua heralds.
Miss Verna Steaks was the play
specialist for the children. Miss
Stoaks was in charge of the same de-
partment last year and this week had
the pleasure of meeting many of her
little friends in Morris. At nine EACH
morning the children gathered on the
Chautauqua grounds in drills, frolics,
volley ball, folk dances and other
forms of merry making. Yesterday
afternoon the little folks gave
"dress-up'' program.
The musical numbers were all ex
ceptionally good this year. Among
the best were those of the Parnells.
popular citizens at Wllmar. They
packed the spacious tent Tuesday eve
ming and responded to several en-
cores. Mrs. Parnell was given voci-
ferrous applause in her readings. Mr..
ParnePs impersonation of the love-sick
simpleton was a masterpiece. Their
musical numbers made a great hit
with the audience.
