GETTING READY FOR THE AS
SCISSOR.

County Assessor Robert M. Gilkey
and his deputies are getting ready to
make the Bourbon county assessment
for this year. The assessment this
year under the new law will be much
larger than it was last year, and the
assessor will be paid on a different
scale, which means that his salary
for this year will be much larger
than it has ever been since he has
been in Office. The new assessor who
will take his Office in January will
be the highest paid assessor the
county has ever had.
The new form of assessors blank
resembles the much-talked of Chi
nese puzzle. Two blanks have to be
made out for each person, and the
whole number of questions to be re-
piled to cover twelve pages. There
is as much or more paper in the two
blanks as there is in this issue Of
THE NEWS. The high cost of print
paper seems to have been lost sight
of when the blanks were prepared.
Mr.. Gilkey asks that the taxpayers
be ready for him when he comes to
see them with this big blank. There
will be lots of places where he will
have to "stop over for dinner and
horse feed"

VIEWED.

Hunters obtaining hunting licenses
last year will have to renew them OF

their licenses must be renewed each
year. The hunting license expires In

when 1t was obtained.
The best way out is to see County

CRACKER EXPLODES
In YOUTHS FACE
Powder Enters Che ter VOrbeck's
Eyes, But Sight is Not
Impaired.

/, While playing with frecrackers
yesterday morning, Chester Vorbeck,
the S-year old son of DR.. and Mrs. j.
c. Norheck, nearly lost the sight of his
eyes.
He lighted cracker, and when it
failed to explode promptly, he picked
it up and began to examine it. While
inspecting the cracker, it exploded,
the powder entering both eyes.
DR.. Vorbeck, who was at home at
the time, applied emergency remedies,
which probably saved his sight. For
several hours the lad was unable to
see at all, but his vision was restored
during the afternoon.
The lad had purchased some fire
works to be used in celebrating the
Fourth Of July, and in order to be in
practice, he thought he would explode
a few crackers ahead of time.
DR.. Vorbeck said last evening that
the fire had entered his sons eyes, but
the sight had not been impaired.

of the recruiting stations to aid the
enlistments of the British in any way
possible, such as giving the prelim-
