This will be particularly valuable in
the purchase of bulls. A large
breeder and seller of bulls stated
at the convention of the Panhandle
association recently he'd in Ell Paso,
Our chief trouble in marketing
bulls is determining how many ami
r'-.ls given section will want. We
don't have to worry about the large
outfits that use fifty or more head
1t is the smaller ones that use from
five to twenty bulls that we find it
hard to get in touch with. No in

we can get a half dozen or more

we can do business to the mutual
advantage of both parties
Feeling that same is true of the

Lord, for the weak and sinful dc
we pray;
For those with hidden crimes
upon their hearts;
For him who stiles conscience all
the day,
But In the night at his own shad-

For lonely ones with no one upon
earth
To share the burden of their
misery,
On whom no tender guiding hand
from birth
Was laid to lead their faItering
steps to Thee.
For those who loved much and
were betrayed,
Left with their sinking dread
alone to grieve,
Who In their anguish are to pray
afraid
To Thee who waitest to pardon
and receive.
We pray for all who have been
trodden down,
For all who night nor day no
comfortings,
Who down the wind of this bleak
world are blown,
Great Bearer of the burdens,

We have raised a loan Of s., ooo-

ready to absorb another. We
have found the money for our own
preparations and lent money in
considerable amounts to our allies,
as they have needed it.
AS a nation we have undertaken
the support of the BeIgians; we
have sent medical mission to
France to help fight tuberculosis,
which has become so terrible a
plague since the war began; we
have sent aid, financial, industrial
and political, to Russia.

have won no victories in the field, |
we have hardly fired our first shot

COMPLETE
THEIR WORK
Supervisors Equalize Taxes, Max
ing Total Increase Of About
$5OO.OOO.

BY working several nights unit
eleven o'clock, the Board of Su
pervisors adjusted the assessment!
of the county and adjourned earliel
than they expected.
The total increase may reach
more than halt of a million dol,
lars, which will give an additional
income from this source of hall
of the former revenues. The
members of the board believe that
they will be justified in decreasing
the tax levy and still have enough
money to run the county and also
pay a part of the floating debt
which has hampered the board for
years.
1t is also estimated that, 10 view
OF the largely increased income of
the state because OF the general
raise OF assessments, the next
legislature can decrease the state
levy from six to about three mills.
Claiborne county was one of the
most fortunate counties IN the
state, our average assessment on
land, as ordered by the Board of
Equalization, was only So per
acre, while that of Jefferson was
placed at $Io and Adams $I2. In
some counties the increase far
more than doubled the former as.
sessment.
With two or three exceptions,
the tax payers of Claiborne accept !
ed the increase very good-natured
". One man threatened to leave
the county, but if be should be
would have TO leave the state to
get relief, for tax conditions in
other counties are worse. And
be would find that Louisiana and
other southern state are adopting
the same course.
