SCHOOL TAX RATE
JUMPSFTVE MILLS
Marysville Board of Educa-
ton Compelled to Increase
Levy For Coming Year

Marysvilie, Pa. June 4.-The
maximum tax rate for school pur-
poses permitted by law, will be paid
by Marysville property owners this
year, following decision of bot-
ough school directors to fix the rate
this year at 25 mills.
The new rate is five mills beyond
the rate paid the past several years.
Every cent of it will be needed to
cover school expenses this year, di-
rectors explain.
That the borough may be in a
position to pay its share of the
proposed increase in teachers sal
aries. provided in the bill now be-
fore the Legislature, is given by Of
ficials as one of the reasons for the
need for the jump. Other expenses
of conducting the schools have also
risen considerably within the past
several years and these are mention
ed as other reasons for jumping the
tax rate.
School directors to-day said that
the low assessments made on bor-
ough properties, is partly respon-
sible for the high tax rate.

Bad Complexion
Peeled OFF At Home

The girl with the poor complexion
complains. Il have to touch up my
cheeks. I am sallow and . sight, and
only my makeup saves me.
Now. as a matter of fact, more wo-
men spoil their good looks than i'm
prove them with cosmetics. The prac-
tiCe certainly iS unnecessary. now
that the virtues OF ordinary mercoliZ-
ed wax as a beautifier have become
known. 1t has been found that the
wax has wonderful absorbent powers.
1t causes the faded or discolored
scarf skin to flake off in minute, al
most imperceptible particles, so gent
ly. gradually, as TO cause no incon-
venience at all. In this way the old
complexion is actually removed -
likewise all fine lines. freckles, pim-
pies, blotches, moth patches and
other surface defects. \ new complex
ion appears-a clear, smooth, youth
full. healthy-hued skin such as no
paint, powder or cream can produce.
MerColiZed wax. to be had at any drug
store in convenient size package, is
applied like cold cream and allowed
TO remain on over night

very easy as jus. straight planning and
saving are necessary to produce them.
Let u start on the anvil next. Get
out your stock to the required length
and thickness. then lay on. the
pattern which should be drawn with
sharp pencil. A coping saw win be
the best implement to use for cutting
to shape. Do the cutting carefully so
the part will look like a real anvil
when you have finished. The horn
will have to be rounded to a conical
shape. The straight cutting can be
done with q back saw. The groove
IN the bottom should be laid out with
a marking gage. the sides sawed to
depth and the stock removed with a
small chisel. Sandpaper well.
The two hammers are to be made
next. hey are rather small and will
require 4sreful work 10 be successful.
Both clbing and back saws will be
found Hecessary on these pieces Your
jack knife will no doubt come in
handy for smoothing up some of the
parts Of the hammers. but 1t should be
sharp.
When all the parts up to this point

work on the bears. Get your stock to
the required thickness. then lay out
the small squares ON 1t as shown in

- OR nearly a year Janey Linn had
been saving her money for
Christmas presents And saving
money for Christmas these days
when one wants to buy thrift stamps.
Of course. and everything costs so
much. was no easy matter. But Janey
was q determined little person and
every time she wanted some candy or
a soda water or sometimes piece Of
chewing gum, she thought three times
just as she had promised her teacher
she would do. One time was for a
thrift stamp, the second thought1was
for her Christmas. present fund and
the third thought was for spending on
herself. And you'd be surprised to
know how very many pennies and
nickels that otherwise would have
been spent right of. went into the.
thrift stamp bank or the Christmas
bank.
So on Saturday morning not long
before Christmas when Janey's mother
said. NOW this is our morning for
Christmas shopping. Janey." the little

course. she had list Of all the folks
she wanted to buy for-that's easier
to get than the money!
So they hurried OF as bright and.
early in the morning as they could SO
the stores wouldn't be too crowded and
buying would be fun. Janey had
looked forward to this morning 70:
weeks and weeks and you may be
sure she was happy to have the sun
shine SO she could wear her best fur
tam. her brand new coat and warm
legging2 It seemed 50 much more
like q real celebration with sunshine
and new clothes and everything pice. Z
First they walked all through the
big store 10 Janey could see all the
things she had been thinking of. They
went pass the handkerchief coun
ter. thinking Of father. and the mutilt
counter. thinking Of, grandpa. and ,ie
fancy work counter. thinking OF Aun

what she wanted to get and what she
had seen. You see. she wasn't used to
going to the big up town stores and 1t
was all 50 exciting.
And right there began the ,nrst sur

''Now theny' said Jansy's mother
when everything was purchased. 'you
stand right here. Janey was puzzled.
Her mother had never left her alone
down town before and now she had
all her ,packages-just armfuls of
them-and the wreath Of holly she
wanted to buy for the janitor's front
window. And mother left her all
alone! She stood there looking like

all loaded on 1t and looked around in

But before she had time to be
frightened. her fathers voice close be-
hind exclaimed. NOW isn't this fun
told mother to have you here, and
alone. At exactly two o'clock 20 you
and could get mothers present to-
gether!" Maybe Janey wasn't sur
prised!
Father took all the packages, except
the wreath which might break, and
checked them. and then no ana Janey
went shopping. She had never helped
pick out mothers present before, and
she thought it the best fun she'd ever
had. They picked out q necklace for
fathers gift and a pretty work basket
for Janey's and then came the last
surprise of the day.
Il suppose you couldn't eat any
more ice cream?" said Janey's father.
"Oh. but I could!" answered Janey,
breathlessly. So they each got biz
piled up dish Of ice cream and they
ate every drop. Then they got the
packages from the check room and
loaded up like real Santa Clauses for
the trip home.

Janey as they]reached their own front
door. .Y'm going to save a-slot Of
