was made. This however, leaves the
1917 assessment of the two made by
Assessor Thomas something over
100000 above that Of 1916.
Two other matters wrrr taken up
while at the Buttrs. The commission
crs transferred 5000 assessment on
money notes and credits for the Colo

money, notes and credits was made
upon his schedule.

A few small matters came up for
equalization Of assessment. The own

from l.. J. Pittser to c. NJ. Pittser.
Frank Stull was granted reduction
in valuation, il appearing that some
personal property was enormously
assessed. The petition of Jesse Cor

because other property around it was
assessed on the same basis.

Now, suppose silver keeps on rising

Roosevelt calls the pacifist people

He was talking about woman suffrage
and makes these pertinent remarks:
People have said to me that we
must not have women vote because
they would all be pacifists. The lord

Copy OF report to Board of Trustees
and High School COMMITTEES:
Our school opened Monday, Sept.
II, and SO the uncertainty about our
enrolment is remSyed. Because of the
lateness of the season in the fruit sec
ton, shortage of labor everywhere,
and high cost of necessaries we were
prepared to be content with quite a
decrease in our enrolment, but on our
opening day there was net increase
of twenty-one students in the High
School and the Normal School. This
increase, however, is due to an in
crease Of twenty-six in the High
School, as the enrolment in the Nor
nal School lacks five of equaling the
enrolment on the first day year ago
as the following figures indicate:

During this famine parents found ii

APE YOU WEARING C0L0RS?
Thew Should Be Used as an Emblem,
Not as a Dress Accessory, De-
clares Writer.

Every patriotic woman ought To
wear the red, white and blue as sign
of her patriotism. But, she ought TO
wear the flag as an emblem ana
badge and not as dress adjunct, de-
clares q writer in the New York SUM-
Smartly dressed women everywhere
have been among the first to adopt the
custom of wearing a small gold enam-
eled or ribbon flag on the coat lapel.
Among women of official society in
Washington there is hardly one woman
who does not wear the tiny flag.
So highly do they regard the use OF
the colors, in fact, that among women
who know what is correct, it Is even
customary to wear the tiny flag when
in the deepest mourning. And In Wash
ington one frequently sees a woman
in her first Widows weeds wearing the
small flag on the lapel of her coat.
The small enameled pins are perhaps
fine neatness of these badges. If the
tiny silk flags are used instead they
should not be pierced by the pin that
holds them in place. A tiny bit of silk
should be attached to the back end OF
The flag and this should be pierced with
the pin.
The most popular badge Of all is
the tiny bow of red, white and blue
ribbon, and as this IS not the actua
emblem there is no offense in tying il
or in piercing it with PIN.
