END ASSESSMENTS TODAY, MAY MEAN
 MORE TAX INCOME
Believed Only Very Few Property Owners Will Be
 Delinquent This Year.

Today is the last day on which as- sessments of real and personal prop erty can be made, and Assessor Fred T. Fucker, and the members of the township assessing board, expect there will be the usual rush, despite the fact that larger part of the property in the township already has been placed on the books.
 Under the law adopted at the recent session of the legislature, assessments not made by property owners on or before July 20, shall suffer a penalty of 25 per cent and the belief is enter tained that only very few property owners will be called upon to pay that penalty, inasmuch as nearly all of them will have made their assessment before the assessors office closes this evening.
 Increases in the assessments rang ing from 25 to 40 per cent are esti- mated, as result of the workings of the new assessment law in this county. although it will be impossible to judge definitely in this direction until As sessor Fucker complies the results of his work since beginning the assess ments of property several weeks ago. The bulk of the increases is in the personal property line, much stuff not heretofore placed on the lists hav- ing been so recorded this year, due to the new law.

Not the Horse They PkaY,d For.

The nuns of q certSin charitable In stitution in Calcutta had Il bus horse that had done m7lch useful scrvice. In course of time the horse died, much to the grief of the good ladies whom he had served so faithfully and well. The pro1iding of D successor was the next problem, and, as funds were short the nuns decided to resort to prayer. They prayed long and earnestly and one morning they discovered horse grazing on the lawn. They were firm ly convinced that their prayers had been answered; the horse was taker to the stable and harnessed to the bus. A few days later the lnstitu- fion was visited by prominent citizen the owner of a nnmber of race horses and a supporter of charity. He claimed the bus horse as one of his racers, in spite of the protest of the nuns that It had been sent to them in response to their earnest prayers. He was good enough, however, to give them q real bus horse to replace the horse that he lad claimed.

ion on top of it. Then place the chair directly behind it, but short dis tance removed. Lay yourself so that your stomach is on the stool or box and your legs on the chair.
 Keep your chest clear of the stool. That part of your body commencing where the ninth rib rests should just clear the edge of the stool.
 Now place your hands on level with your chest, palms downward and hands by side. Do not place your hands in the usual attitude of prayer. This old method o fstarting the breast stroke is wrong and, besides, it means an extra movement. Keep your hands flat Now bring them forward as if about to dive. Stretch them straight out as far as you can. Keep them on a level with the chin. Raise your head trifle so as to clear the imag- mary water.

 Was to Urge Peace Terms.

Petrograd, July 19.-A letter from General Brussiloff's chief of staff states that Nicholas Lenine, the rad ical Socialist leader, is an agent of the German general staff. The evil dence was traced through the confess sion of Lieutenant Ermollenko that he was sent to the front with the Sixth Russian army to make propaganda in favor of an early peace with Ger many.
 Lenine's task was to compromise the provisional government in the eyes of the people by every possible means. Funds were sent through the interme- diary of an employe of the German consul at Stockholm.

do it fau!tlessly. Keep it up until you are able to do it with perfect ease.
 Should this exercise make your muscles ache and become stiff, few movements in physical culture will soon make them right again.
 The following exercises will also strengthen the muscles of stomach and make you feel more comfortable after your breast stroke exercise:
 1. Lie flat on the floor. Raise the left lief bending the knee until the leg is at right angles. Then lower the leg bending the knee. Alternate movement sof legs, taking first the right and then the left leg. Do this about five minutes with each leg for a 1. }. Now raise both legs and do this from ten to twenty times.
 ?. Control your breathing. Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale through the mouth
 4. Stand up and continue the breathing exercise fro mthree to five minutes. I cannot impress upon you too much the immense value of prop CT breathing either for its own sake or in conjunction with swimming.
 Of course, you understand that all o fthese exercises are to be done in the one-piece suit. Your body must be free and it cannot be if you wear many of the senseless garments with which we humans are afflicted.
 Tomorrow-The leg stroke will be described so that you may make it with ease. This is the next necessary stroke for you to know. Knowing this and the breast stroke, described yes- terday, your training is we'll under way.
