BEGINNING THE DAY - God grant me to serve Thee and all men everywhere. May I not pull down one brick from the structure, may not strike aside one upliEted hand, may I not cause one unneces- sary tear. May every thought and word and deed be for help and not for hurt. Put my influence, o God. all on one side. May I be a builder. In His name. Amen-H. M. k.

Property Assessed UnjustIy

Our present tax rate may be all right, but the way property is as- sessed is decidedly wrong" said Com missioner Henry Page Burruss. If property was assessed the full 50 per cent of it's value in all cases, which it is not, the states income would be greater than it is by far. Instead much property is assessed at about 20 per cent of it's value, then tax is paid on 60 per cent of the assessment There are many in this state who do not assess property correctly. It is an especial in- justice to those whose property is as sessed for it's full value Favoritism is often shown"

The mask had been such a gerat pro- lection to my chest and had been worn in the same place for such a long time that l had almost gotten to the place where it was part of me, and you know a soldier rarely ever separates himself from his gas mask and more especially from that mess kit Those are things soldier must have in such a war as the recent one in France and the mess kit must be handy at all times to be ready for anything which might come before you.

I arrived after the matter had been taken out of the hands of the passen- gers and was being handled by the crowd being asked for statement. It is need less to say that they were willing wit nesses and the only trouble was to keep the three from stating their side at one and the same time, After hearing all the case, the crowd decided against the cab driver and informed him he must ! make the trip, as the tariff showed the old couple were within their rights in de- | manding it.
