Inc COunty court OF JEFFERSON

lows: =

S4y98l ,26S, and Board of Public Works,
S4,025,730. Total S17,506. 264.

over that of 1918, is S439, l26.
After due consideration the Court

Among our callers on Tuesday was
Mr.. H. M. Moler, Of Baltimore, who,
with his family, is spending his vaca
ton with his brother, Holly Moler, near
Uvilla. Mr.. Moler is working with the
Federal Trade Commission in Wash

County Assessor F. L. Watson and
his deputies, T. o. Link and Charles
. R. Langdon, completed their annual
assessment and had their work review
ed by the Board of Equalization and
Review in time for Levy Term of Court
on Tuesday.
The total valuation for the entire
county shows an increase of only
S407, 442 over that of 1918. Farm,
orchard and dairy profits went into
non-taxable securities as never before.
The bulk of the peoples earnings went
into Liberty Bonds and war savings

pie dwindled in value as soon as the

SCISSOR had very much less value to put
an estimate upon.
The war affected the holdings Of
the people in other ways. The gov
ernment's policy Of regulating the mar
ket price of wheat caused an unusual
situation in the local supply Of the
cereal. Only few hundred BUSH
els were found in the farmers bins
within the assessment period. The
price having been guaranteed, there
was no need of holding the grain for
an advance.
1t was found also that the farmers
held very little corn when the asses

THE NATIONAL OBJECTIVE

America entered the world war only
when in honor there was no other al
tentative. When German arrogance,
German outrage and German murder
of our women and children on the
high seas reached point beyond fur
there forbearance.
But once made 1t was no hallway de-
cision.
America went into the war to see 1t
to a finish. To finish 1t rightly.
And that national objective is just
as strongly outlined now, with peace
negotiations on, as 1t was when war
was first declared.
Our duty before the world is just
as clearly defined.
Our responsibility for tranquility in
stricken Russia and frenzied Germany
and the pugnacious Halkans is in no
measure diminished.
And our pledge to world democracy
stands mistaken.
We are just as much bound in hon.
or to see this thing through to right
finish as we were to take our stand
against Kaiserism and its attendant
atrocities.
We are just as much responsible in
dividually as we were collectively.
We would have been just as much
affected, one way or the other, had
Kaiserism triumphed.
And 1t is every mans duty to lend a
willing hand in the battle for the COM
mon good. 1t is your duty as 1t is my
duty. None is excepted.
Uncle Sam plays no favorites in the
matter of citizenship. Every man is
pleased upon an equality with his fell
lowmen. Duty and privileges obtain
alike.
And so must, duty, and obligation,
and responsibility, and loyalty.
Uncle Sam is about to ask US in
dividually to lend him our money once
