What would you do, if after a
night at the cabarets you discovered
a big bear in your bathroom, and
it dawned upon you that you had
bought the animal for a pet" This
may happen to youths is the age
of surprises so you are advised to
see "Jack Spurlock-Pdodigal," at
the Rex theater tomorrow, where
George Walsh, the William Fox star,
as young Spurlock, solves the prob
lem of disposing of the 4OO-pound
Alaska bruin. Mr.. Bear makes It
interesting for the Harvard faculty
and his young owner before he is
gotten rid Of.
"Jack Spurlock Prodigal" is the
story Of young Harvard students
experience: beginning after he had
been dropped from Harvard because
Of his escapade with the bear. He
was self-reliant chap and when his
father placed him in
charge of his business he sought to
make good stroke tby buying few
hundred carloads of onions not know
ing that his daddy had already
bought 500 cars. It works out all
right. but before the film story is
unfolded young Spurlock has many
funny and thrilling experiences.
A two-part Fox comedy, will also
be shown.

is nothing more nor less than fiber
silk, which every one knows Is not silk
at all, but which serves as an excellent
imitation and substitute for silk at
much cheaper price.
The smart little spring frock shown
in the sketch may be developed effec.
lively either in wool jersey or fiber
silk, or it could be made Of serge or
gaberdine. The real feature Of this
frock is its side fastening arrange
ment, and it is interesting to note that
the fancy for one-sided effects is evil
dent in all lines of outer apparel for
women.
Some Of the smartest frocks have
draperies or tunics that fall low at one
side and are scarcely visible at the 9th
'er side, and the same rule applies to
the separate skirt.
Inasmuch as the hip drapery giving
a bouffant silhouette has had its day,
and the back flare. or hustle, is also
passing after brief lease Of life, the
One-sided effect is logically the next
experiment So far many satisfactory
results have been achieved.
The dress shown may be trimmed
with, braiding in self or contrasting
color or merely in stitching with heavy
floss. Or if some more elaborate trim
ming touch is required, wool embroid-
cry may be recommended, especially
if wool jersey cloth is selected for the
gown. II . -. r.. .-...
This is a good model for an early
spring street or utility frock, and is

SUPERVISORS MEET

The county board of tax supervis
ors met here Monday morning anC
began the work of distributing the
million dollar raise by the State Tan
commission, among the taxpayers OF
the county.
The work of the board this year
will be more difficult than the work
of any former board on account of the
new law governing its work. For
mer boards were charged only with
the duty of raising the assessed val
uation of property in any amount
thought necessary to equalize the
burden of the taxpayers, but this
board will be required to raise a
specific amount, one million dollars.
and to equitably distribute that a.
mount, over the country. The board
may raise the assed valuation of the
property of the country to any sum it
may see fit, in excess of the million
dollars. but its raise must not be less
than that amount. The board will
be in session for fifteen days equaliz
ing values; and will hold later
session to hear complaints from those
taxpayers who believe they have been
raised excessively.
The board is composed of eight
members. of one for each magisterial
istrict. and is made up of well known
farmers, who are honest and capable,
and well fitted for the service they
are called upon to perform. The
members of the board are: c. +.
Maxey, Nat Lindley. Hosea Shown,
d. A. Matthews, w. l.. Leach, o. Z.
Scott. Nat White and ]. T. Carter.

Most High, we would answer that
God is in the war. lie is in the war
as He is in the noiseless movement
OF the stars in their fixed courses in
the sky; God is in the war as He is
In the winds that move the bosom of
the ocean, God is in the war as He
is in the torrent rushing down the
mountains side to the sea; God is in
the war as He is In the plumage of
the bird and the colors of the rain
bow; God is in the war as lie is in
blooming of the rose and the song of
the bird; God is in the war as He
is in the lightning's flash and the
of the midnight storm;
God is in the war by a rule of law,
cast once for all for the rule Of ma
lions throughout all the cons of time.
